uh March 15th otherwise known as The Ides of March to celebrate I'll be
getting stabbed 23 times at the end of this video
openai has officially announced the sequel to gpt3 GPT 360. no wait uh
series X no sorry gpt4 which they claim
is more powerful more creative and more
reliable it can also pass professional benchmarks like the LSAT and bar exam
within the 88th percentile or higher meaning that it's better than ever at
fulfilling parents dreams early experimenters have managed to use gpt4
to quickly recreate the classic game pong and to turn a simple sketch on a
napkin into a functioning website I always have trouble with that the new
model is also supposedly less prone to hallucination which is interesting
because shortly after it was unveiled Microsoft announced that the new Bing
has apparently been running on gpt4 the whole time Bing while certainly powerful
and creative is not necessarily what most people would describe as reliable
and non-hallucinogenic but hey it's from Microsoft so what do you expect but this
hasn't dampened Microsoft's confidence they apparently think the model is so
good that it won't need humans to help it figure out ethics because the company
eliminated their entire ethics and Society team from their office of
responsible AI which I assume means that they have solved all the ethical
problems related to Ai and it's going to be smooth failing from here on out
nothing could possibly go wrong we got an AI for that ever since meta's open
source GPD three level large language model Ohama had its training data leaked
last month developers have been figuring out new and innovative ways to run it on
just about everything first on a Mac then on Windows then on a pixel 6 and
even a Raspberry Pi just like what you would do with real llamas right giddy up
uh one of the key strengths of llama is that it was designed to run with a
single GPU and while it may chug like a cement smoothie on something like a
Raspberry Pi it does successfully well
not me not run but walk anyway like a llama now to be be clear this is still
meta's IP and its terms of service do
still apply but sooner rather than later we're going to see the first
hyper-individualized pocket AI which is great news because I've been looking for
a way to make using a graphing calculator far more interesting now I
can graph poems insulting back when Windows 11 launched users
rioted when they discovered that the new streamlined taskbar had lost much of the
functionality that it enjoyed back with Windows 10. it can't be moved to the top
or the side of the screen separate iterations of the same program would
stack and couldn't be separated like those Lego bricks that my daughter glued
together this has popularized mods intending to reinstate that
functionality however early previews into the newest version of Windows 11
seem to indicate that Microsoft will be giving us one of those little orange
tools for our yelling budgie thing and we could see a return
of the never combined option nice uh
while they're at it by the way they might want to fix their VBS settings there was concern at launched that
Windows 11's VBS and hvci default might
affect performance and they do benchmarks show that default Windows VBS
can actually slow down games as much as 10 percent even on top end graphics
cards thanks to Microsoft's insistence on improving things by making them worse
first well what else are you gonna do hey now it's time for buckwax brought to
you by vessi the footwear company that aims to change the way that you think
about rain I mean why should a little bit of precipitation ruin your plans
vessey claims their shoes are 100 waterproof so throw a pair of them on
and keep your day going stuck in your head go out for a walk what does that
have to do with shoes stuck in your feet go out for a walk and your feet will be
nice and dry and warm or on a hot day
they'll be cool why worry about the weather vessey's got you covered all
that's good Diamond text Tech technology keeps your feet dry say 15 on your next

Romans Tech enthusiasts lend me your ears I come to say the butt quacks not
to praise them what it's a quote it's a quote Linus Google has launched an API
for its own llm Palm as well as maker
Suite A browser app for developers that leaves all the Intensive computation to
Google's Cloud servers and lets you focus on presumably majoring Google is
also expanding generative AI support in vertex a platform that helps businesses
train and launch machine learning models anthropic a google-backed company
founded by former open AI employees has launched its own chat bot Claude is this
a new segment we do that's just like this week in machine learning and AI
everything's AI everything was AI there's something something there's a
whole bunch of them Ulysses Archibald Etc something is something something
meta is firing another 10 000 employees
roughly 30 13 percent of its Global Workforce as part of its year of
efficiency you know I haven't heard of that one you got the year of the rabbit the year of the direct the year of
efficiency I like isn't that every year in China Andy
that is some that is some tone deaf branding for the thousands of working
professionals and their families who have lost their jobs I bet they Workshop
that for a while um we had an earlier wave of 11 000
efficiencies four months ago meaning that meta employees have been decimated
twice and that's in the original meaning of the word meaning reduced by around a
tenth yeah I actually had to look that up because I didn't realize that you
would decimate your own Army not the opponent it was like a punishment
presumably for not having sex Microsoft
has announced yet another deal extending Call of Duty to another platform this
time cloud gaming Powerhouse boosterloid
which you have almost certainly never heard of so then I'll be the one to tell
you that boosterloid is the largest anti-cloud gaming service currently with
a reported user base of around 4 million so we're so we don't have to be rude
Linus okay this is all part of Microsoft's campaign to convince
Regulators to let it acquire Activision Blizzard please
and I suppose after granting access to Cod to both Nintendo and NVIDIA and
having Sony turn it down Microsoft is now really scraping the bottom of the
barrel here looking for another major gaming platform to offer the franchise
to I can't wait to see Modern Warfare running simultaneously on PC Xbox switch
and Samsung Smart fridge that's really going to make Sony jealous we are truly
on the best timeline cyber crime ring emotech is back again and back to its
old tricks of using botnets to spam your
email pretending to be a response from a known contact using your actual name
they've been active on and off since 2014 going on Hiatus for extended
periods presumably because some of their members were serving time or got sleepy
it's sleepy okay got it only to rise again with new techniques to evade
security and to cause trouble they're like cicadas but with malware this time
they were spotted sending a malicious image macro embedded in an attached 500
megabyte Word document which is way above the file size limit of many
security scans but I guess not everybody scans
and the file contained large experts
excerpts is that the word excerpts from Herman Melville's Moby Dick which is a
pretty big book and it also had macros wow good job uh SpaceX is getting ready
to test its new starship in the next month which founder Elon Musk gives a 50
50 chance of success this is a quote I'm
not saying it will get to orbit but I am guaranteeing excitement while this
doesn't exactly Inspire confidence it will certainly incentivize people to
tune into the presumably available live stream of the launch whether it's to see
it make it into orbit or see it make it into Oblivion
they're both options the fault dear viewers is not in our Tech news but in
ourselves return on Friday for more TechLinked or face trial for crimes against
Rome that's right you or one of your nine friends could die
every week every week unless you fight better
