00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.740
the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max have had a

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:09.420
heck of a launch week with users and reviewers alike testing the phone's new

00:00:06.779 --> 00:00:11.760
titanium construction and the scores are not looking great they really should

00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:15.960
have paid attention in class I'm James strive this is techlinked and this is

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:22.680
the repairability score awarded to the iPhone 15 lineup by iFixit 4 out of 10

00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:25.380
matching the iPhone 14 score after I fix

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:30.180
a downgrade it from a 7. you see the 14 added the ability to open up from the

00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:34.380
front or the back but Apple still heavily limits user repair through

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:38.579
software kind of like inviting your friend over to stand in your entryway

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:43.200
but proceed no further I value your friendship this much I get cookies

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:48.059
similar to many early iPhone 15 Pro owners iFixit found the titanium shell

00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:52.079
scratches really easily something also discovered by a YouTuber Jerry Rigg

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:56.879
everything shortly before he cracked the glass back of the 15 Pro Max about two

00:00:55.020 --> 00:01:01.559
seconds into his bend test it might be time for iphoneers to consider switching

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:05.760
to the pixel 8 Pro when it launches on October 4th Google is now promising

00:01:03.899 --> 00:01:09.299
seven years of software updates which should really extend the life of your

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:14.220
phone as long as it doesn't pull a pixel 7 and have its buttons randomly fall off

00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:18.240
I mean you barely use them redditors can now earn real money based on the amount

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.860
of Karma and gold they receive on eligible posts validating the oceans of

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:26.759
Blood Sweat and Tears excreted by millions of users who have spent years

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:30.000
toiling in the fake Internet Point fields

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.900
this work it's hard not to draw comparisons between the new Reddit

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:38.460
contributor program and Twitter's recent rollout of AD Revenue sharing for

00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:42.900
Twitter blue I mean X premium subscribers if only because social media

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.159
platforms paying users living wages for post written while on the

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.420
literal is a fairly new thing unlike blue Shack's redditors won't have

00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:55.259
to front eight bucks a month to get paid but they will have to verify that they

00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:01.380
meet certain eligibility requirements like being over 18 living in the US and

00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:05.340
having an account in good standing they can start farming dollar dollar bills on

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:09.239
eligible contributions which don't include posts with sexually explicit

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:14.400
content or content related to violence drugs Farms gambling scams crypto or

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:18.300
otherwise and of course donations to chair the worst of the bunch

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.599
references to the new program were actually first spotted by Android

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:26.280
authority back in July when Reddit announced a phase out of Reddit coins

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.660
and gold shortly before launching more nft avatars which have somehow survived

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:34.440
the crypto collapse yes they're still cringe but it's Reddit so it doesn't

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:38.400
matter NVIDIA envisions a future where games are mostly rendered from AI

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:42.360
generated frames as opposed to frames produced with traditional rasterization

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.560
at Native resolution because they look better anyway like how any picture

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:50.760
pre-2022 pales in comparison to the anime waifu's mid-journey creates for me

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:55.019
to pretend to cuddle with oh that's so good now the cuddling's real the AI

00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:02.099
rendered games comment comes from NVIDIA's vice president of Applied deep learning research Brian Catanzaro who

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:07.379
told digital Foundry that in cyberpunk 2077's latest update the LSS 3.5's frame

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:12.780
generation and Ray reconstruction features result in real Ur better

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:17.280
looking frames despite being the result of an upscaling process Brian went so

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:22.920
far as to suggest that in the far future dlss 10 will enable a completely neural

00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:27.480
rendering system which won't use rasterization at all whether he made the

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:34.019
comments as a cope for the fact that AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT can power the

transit so they're really more like no still good but just smooshed a

00:04:23.340 --> 00:04:29.460
ransomware group is claiming that all of Sony's bases are belonging to them as

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:33.960
they have breached quote all Sony systems end quote everyone the proof of

00:04:32.699 --> 00:04:38.820
the hack posted by the group is apparently not particularly compelling according to

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:42.180
cyber security experts but we'll know for sure sooner or later as the group

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:46.620
says that Sony won't pay and the data will be published in three days if

00:04:44.460 --> 00:04:50.940
nobody buys it first though if this is anything like the 2014 Sony hack we

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:54.540
might get a sneak peek into future films and terrorist threats targeting Seth

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:58.620
Rogen remember that wait how do we know this wasn't him

00:04:56.100 --> 00:05:03.540
Kim's back open AI has released an update for chat CPT that allows the

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:07.560
chatbot to see hear and speak removing one of the last things really throwing a

00:05:05.460 --> 00:05:09.720
wrench in our romantic relationship it already has that sweet nothings

00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:13.800
extension you can now audibly talk to it in a

00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:16.979
conversational style as well as include images in your prompts so it knows what

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.780
the hell you're talking about if your parents told you to use your words a bit

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:24.780
too much now you can show Chachi PD a picture of your barbecue to troubleshoot

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:29.100
why it won't work if you'd like to hear that it's Infested by Gremlins

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.539
standard answer the update gives chat GPD the tools it will need to go against

00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:38.759
meta's planned sassy chatbot for teens but it's left me missing our old much

00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:41.280
worse AI assistance like alxe a chat GPT

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:45.419
play despacito Getty Images who has previously sued AI art generators for

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:49.500
using its copyrighted images in their training data has now announced their

00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:53.759
own AI art generator because this is a way of things built by NVIDIA and

00:05:51.419 --> 00:05:58.259
reportedly trained entirely on licensed images Acclaim Getty is so confident in

00:05:56.220 --> 00:06:01.740
they're offering to get sued on your behalf it's like the 30 minutes or free

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.539
guarantee but if the driver was explicitly willing to go to jail to get

00:06:03.419 --> 00:06:09.660
your pizza to you on time I don't care

00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:11.460
if it's a school zone I am nothing

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:15.479
he also says that images generated this way will not be added into the library

00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:19.139
thereby preventing the lossy jpeg problem of training in AI using their

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:24.600
own output that threatens to turn all future AI art into an uncanny valley

00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:29.220
soup or hellscape awesome it's great head of AMD's Radeon

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:32.400
division Scott hurtwoman has announced his departure from the company after

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.319
seven years following the launch of the RX 7800 XD and 7700 XT herkeland was

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:43.560
known as a friendly and approachable face willing to engage with the community via his socials herkelman said

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.919
goodbye to the Radeon team saying he will miss every single one of them

00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:51.360
fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches together that was my

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:55.680
interpretation of his tone and Tesla has released a new video ostensibly

00:06:53.160 --> 00:07:00.840
showcasing the new capabilities of their neuro net trained Optimist robot first

00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:05.160
unveiled two years ago though I don't see it taking on the Decepticons anytime

00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:09.060
soon some have speculated that parts of the video look like CGI but it's equally

00:07:07.259 --> 00:07:13.080
possible that they simply fast forwarded sections to make the robot look less

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:17.900
like a concussed toddler slowly sorting blocks which would explain why its human

00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:20.759
assistant appears to move uncannily fast

00:07:17.900 --> 00:07:24.419
ori's got a lot of coffee in another scene the same robot also demonstrated

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:30.560
its ability to balance on one leg through some big inner yoga hopefully

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:30.560
labeled namaste

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:36.919
and you should Nama stay tuned for Wednesday when we'll be back

00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:45.440
and for another episode labeled Tech link yeah I like that one James

00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:45.440
went off script there
