there are some people who think you're not supposed to talk about the tech news
who are these people don't listen to them were they in the comments
i don't know that's not a very nice thing to say that's that's all we do
that's all we do is talk about that well you know what we are not to be deterred
we are going to talk about the tech news we're going to talk about it hard yeah
we might not talk hard but we're going to make talking about it look hard
last night the friendly spirit of the gaming industry jeff keely hosted the
fifth annual game awards which has become kind of less about actual awards and more about
the ridiculous number of announcements and trailers that get released at the
same time like we've got roundups of the biggest news and the news source is down
below but here are some of the highlights the creators of ark survival
evolved are making atlas a vaguely
pirate-themed mmo that also has monsters
dragons and who knows what else
obsidians the outer worlds is kind of like fallout in space
but with more jokes yeah fallout's not very funny ps4 exclusive journey is
coming to the pc via the new epic games store far cry new dawn is a
post-apocalyptic sequel to far cry 5 a rare sequel for the series mind you
they're all kind of well they're numbered but not sequels and

the world's talking about huawei right now and not in a particularly good way
japan and british telecom bt have announced that they are following the us
australia and new zealand in banning the
chinese tech giant's 5g networking equipment because of fears that the
chinese government is using huawei as a tool for espionage which is a fancy word
for spying never mind the fact that just shortly
after announcing their ban the australian government introduced a bill
that would allow themselves to take user data from tech companies at will leading
to backlash from facebook google and
others they were like no this is our
stuff to take from people at will to complicate matters even further the
canadian government just arrested huawei's chief financial officer also
the daughter of the company's founder here in vancouver like literally like 40
kilometers that way on charges of violating u.s sanctions
against iran so china has demanded her
release and now the whole situation is just
generally pretty messed up it looks like huawei is going to be like at the center
of tensions between china and the west which is kind of a shame because the
mate 20 pro it's cool fun great phone cool fun
but you know maybe it's fine because we're all going to get killed by robots
before anything really bad happens anyway deepmind the company behind the
ai alphago which became famous last year for beating one of the world's best go
players has announced that alphago has amassed enough energy to evolve to a
higher plane of existence alpha zero is an ai that teaches itself
how to play games rather than learning from human players using that strategy
allows alpha zero the zero is for zero
humans required anymore to develop what its creators call
creativity and intuition it took three days for alpha
zero to teach itself how to beat the reigning chess ai champ stockfish and
deepmind wants to take alpha zero's creativity and apply it to human
problems that matter a little bit more they took oh come on chess is cool chess
matters but we best be careful or we might get
more incidents like the recent one involving an amazon robot inadvertently
opening up a sealed can of bear mace sending 24 warehouse workers to the
hospital now that is a creative way to
get some time off that's not funny they had to go to the
hospital they got bear maced well robot maced trying to make jokes

pretty good phone it's a great phone fans of pewdiepie have bought billboards
they've hacked printers all in an effort to try to persuade people to subscribe
to the number one most subscribed creator on youtube is he still number
one yeah and now sonos audio systems are the latest
victim of his fans i have a sono system

homepod yeah concerned about home
defense well good news we now live in a reality
where you can buy drones to protect your property really the bee
a drone funny made by sunflower lads oh oh i
love i love these guys already lives in a base station in your yard and
periodically leaves to survey the grounds sending a 1080p video stream to
your phone in the event that it detects something
so okay maybe it won't actually protect
your property but if you wanted a more high-tech
version of a small yappy annoying dog
that breaks down you are now covered okay to be clear
okay i don't know that it'll break down it might be amazing speaking of things
that might be amazing but might also break down the beta and launch of
fallout 76 may go down as one of the worst game launches in history and
remember this is a history where like
man what's what are some really bad game launches like e.t the extraterrestrial
okay exists the latest scandal in the news is that bethesda has accidentally
released players private information including type of credit card email and
home address the issue is apparently fixed now
but still i mean at this point it's not clear whether bethesda is trying to make
a fallout game or turn the world into a
post-apocalyptic wasteland they're getting there they're getting there i
said elliptic but i meant post-apocalyptic i know how that word
works you guys have been watching the show a long time you know i know what that word is and you know
and if you don't know then make sure you subscribe so that next time you can hear
me say it correctly oh okay yeah that was a good segue
