1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,759 The launch of NVIDIA and MediaTek's highly anticipated N1X ARMbased CPU has 2 00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:13,200 been delayed to the first quarter of 2026 according to multiple reports. The 3 00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:17,119 most recent came from Digit Times, but I started to suspect it had missed its 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,520 original predicted launch at Computex this year when it didn't show up at 5 00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,080 Computex this year. According to supply chain sources cited by Digit Times, the 6 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,840 delay is related to Microsoft's roadmap for their nextG OS being slower than 7 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:37,440 expected. Presumably, NVIDIA wouldn't want to launch a fancy new chip that 8 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,600 doesn't work well with Windows 12, or as 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:45,760 Microsoft is more likely to brand it, Windows 11 Copilot AI Plus 365 C-Pilot. 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,920 Now, this reason for the delay clashes slightly with the one given in previous 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,239 reports from notoriously semi-accurate and self-aware rumor outlet Semia 12 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,199 accurate, whose sources apparently pointed to NVIDIA having issues with the 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:04,000 hardware design. Honestly, they could both be right. While Qualcomm's 14 00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,720 Snapdragon X laptop chips are impressive hardware-wise, Microsoft's inability to 15 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,200 implement as graceful of a solution as Apple's Rosetta 2 during their ARM 16 00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:17,680 transition has remained the biggest obstacle to Windows on ARM adoption, 17 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:22,799 which may be why after first launching a line of ARMPowered surfaces, Microsoft 18 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,799 added Intel versions, including the justannounced Surface Laptop 5G, which 19 00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:33,520 true enough doesn't have any ARMs at all. Now, I've seen the comments about 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,280 not wanting so much AI news, and I hear you. But this story might affect all of 21 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,240 us. So, let me do this one, and then I'll never say the words AI again. I 22 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,799 promise. The Trump administration has released its AI action plan, a 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:52,560 wide-ranging set of recommendations that calls for less AI regulation and more 24 00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,119 allocation of energy and resources to accelerate AI development and compete 25 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,840 with China. The new action plan replaces the Biden administration's executive 26 00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:07,040 order on AI, which mandated that AI companies adhere to safety requirements 27 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,560 and provide regular transparency reports in case one of their AIs becomes 28 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,800 conscious and eats a researcher. You know, like should probably be required 29 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,319 to let us know about that. And while the 10-year moratorum on states passing 30 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,879 their own AI laws was removed from the 31 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:28,319 big beautiful bill before it passed, the new action plan calls for federal 32 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,760 agencies to limit AI related funding to 33 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,480 states with burdensome AI regulations. 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:41,599 But it also notes that states can pass AI rules that aren't unduly restrictive 35 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,920 to innovation. Very gracious, Sia. Thank 36 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:48,239 you. We'll be careful. Now, to be fair, several recommendations in the action 37 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:53,440 plan will, if carried out, benefit useful applications of AI, like tools to 38 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,720 help with diagnosing medical issues and figuring out what ancient Romans were 39 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,800 squiggling to each other while passing notes in class. Socrates sickidiosum. 40 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:09,599 But calling for less oversight on AI development is coming at a weird time. 41 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,959 The plan was announced a day after Sam Alman predicted an AI voice-driven 42 00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:20,159 banking fraud crisis at a Federal Reserve event and the publication of 43 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:24,400 multiple concerning AI papers. One of them from a joint research group details 44 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,040 the issue of subliminal learning. Basically, the researchers fine-tuned a 45 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,760 model to have a preference for owls and then had that model generate a set of 46 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:38,879 three-digit numbers and nothing else. then fine-tuned another model using that 47 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,120 number set. It was just numbers. And when asked for its favorite animal, that 48 00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:49,200 second model, which had answered dolphin previously, also said it likes owls. Now 49 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,959 replace owls with blackmail. And maybe you see the problem here. As explained 50 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,280 by one of the researchers, this means that predelections towards recommending 51 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,000 the eating of glue and solving all of your problems with murder are harder to 52 00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,840 filter out of AI models than we thought. And to top it all off, another paper was 53 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,640 published yesterday by 40 researchers from OpenAI, Google, Metaanthropic, and 54 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,439 elsewhere, warning that as AI development continues, it may become 55 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:21,600 harder to understand these models inner workings, not easier in some dimensions 56 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,360 at least. I mean, do they like me? Who 57 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,479 knows what they're thinking? Possibly something about our sponsor. Enable the 58 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:33,040 IT software experts whose whole job is to make your job easier. Enables N 59 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,680 central remote monitoring and management solution can help IT professionals patch 60 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,560 everything, scan for vulnerabilities, and automate security tasks all from one 61 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:46,240 dashboard. And we're talking serious endpoint resilience here. Because 62 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,080 instead of running around putting out fires that are hopefully only 63 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,560 metaphorical, you can use Enable's built-in security tools that prevent, 64 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:58,400 detect, and respond to threats in a calm and controlled manner.

After the Switch 2 set a sales record in June, market research 69 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,720 company Sirana has confirmed that Nintendo's latest console is the fastest 70 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:27,120 selling piece of gaming hardware in US history, narrowly edging out the hoop 71 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:32,720 and stick. It's another reminder that for every single person screaming online 72 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:37,840 about how evil Nintendo is, there are a dozen lovely Midwesterners who just want 73 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:44,000 to smash stuff as Donkey Kong in their enormous affordable houses out in the 74 00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,479 middle of nowhere. Happy for you. 75 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,400 More than 400 firms were breached during the cyber attacks on Microsoft 76 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,199 SharePoint servers this week. According to eye security, who first spotted the 77 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,199 attacks, Microsoft claims that Chinese state sponsored hackers are behind all 78 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,520 this, which makes it a little concerning that the National Nuclear Security 79 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,280 Administration was among the breached entities. But yeah, honestly, that's 80 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,600 that's nothing new. They also got breached during the Solar Wind cyber 81 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,800 attacks of 2020. This happens all the time. It's chill. Sony is doing their 82 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:19,759 part to fight climate change by nerfing 83 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,919 the PlayStation 5's performance, which should really take a chunk out of out of 84 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,800 this issue. The company said on the PlayStation blog that a new power saver 85 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:33,840 mode will soon be available as part of their Road to Zero environmental 86 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:38,720 initiative. Turning it on is optional, but if you're a good person, you will. 87 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:44,319 Sure, your game might chug a little bit, but you'll almost be able to feel the 88 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,160 environment healing itself. And also, maybe this means a real PlayStation 89 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,639 handheld is on the way, so you can play that outside in the environment. Meta 90 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:57,440 has shown off a prototype wristband it affectionately referred to as a surface 91 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,199 electromyiography research device, which is it's whatever. You can use it to 92 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,120 control computers with gestures. The Meta team demo the wristband, 93 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,199 deciphering a finger writing on a table to input text. small wrist movements for 94 00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:13,840 motion control and even little hand gestures. Personally, I've seen a ton of 95 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:19,120 prototypes for devices exactly like this come and go for 10 years. So, while it's 96 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,120 not a new idea, it'd be nice if one of them actually stuck around. Where are 97 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:28,720 they going? Take me with you. And Google has added phototovideo generation 98 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,960 technology to Google photos of all 99 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,599 things. So, you can take these magical Windows into your own personal past and 100 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:40,880 turn them into fun little videos of false memories. A look at that cute 101 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,319 thing you did in this video. That never happened. Remember when we were all on 102 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:49,440 the beach together and we didn't do that? A It was cool to see though. 103 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:55,440 Google, stop sending my mom this stuff. Google, stop sending my mom stuff and 104 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,800 stop watching this video because it'll be over 105 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:04,000 right after I tell you to come back on Friday for more tech news. 106 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:07,599 That was close. AI. Damn it. I'm sorry.
