1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Tech stuff happens so we're here doing a video about it it's like it's like a

2
00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:08,880
company fires off an email and now I have to work

3
00:00:06,779 --> 00:00:12,840
how does this make sense this is Raja kaduri Chief Architect of Intel's

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,279
discrete graphics cards is leaving the company because if his previous post as

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,359
head of AMD's Radeon gpus as any indication launching new products that

6
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:27,960
failed to live up to the hype is kind of his ammo hey that's not nice

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,640
okay seriously we needed Intel Arc gpus

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:35,040
but they still need some work and he's moving on so we can joke right okay

9
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:39,960
we can be still friends friends make jokes anyways raja's off to form his own

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:45,360
gaming startup focused on what else AI it'll apparently focus on

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,739
creating generative AI tools for movies games and other media that are

12
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:53,760
compatible with basically any processor not just chips from NVIDIA it's only

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,559
fair that kaduri is taking the risk of going independent now having worked

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:03,600
directly for Apple AMD and Intel I mean how old is he 55 yeah that's that's

15
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:07,680
Prime midlife crisis territory again this is not he seems nice I'm not trying

16
00:01:05,939 --> 00:01:12,299
to it's just middle-aged man something happens up here okay so to Mr kadiri's

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,140
credit under his leadership while Intel's arc graphics card suffered

18
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:20,640
delays and initially lagged behind the competition in terms of performance that

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,540
Gap has started closing significantly as Intel releases improve drivers it was

20
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:28,920
the first time that a major player entered the dedicated graphics Market in

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:33,960
years making it a qualified success for Intel which has otherwise had a pretty

22
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:37,619
rough year not rough as in sandpaper rough as in getting dragged along the

23
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:40,799
highway with your ankle caught in a tow rope okay I didn't write that one that

24
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:45,960
was it she did the Windows 11 Snipping Tool and

25
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:50,100
Windows 10 snip and sketch have a bug where it may be possible to recover and

26
00:01:47,939 --> 00:01:53,820
view the original screenshot after it has been cropped or censored now if that

27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,540
sounds familiar it might be because basically the same issue was patched on

28
00:01:55,860 --> 00:02:01,740
the Google pixel earlier this week despite the fact that Microsoft and

29
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:06,360
Google built these tools entirely separately they appear to have made the

30
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:10,800
exact same error when the newly cropped image saves it saves over the original

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:16,020
image but that new image is smaller than the original image and much like a large

32
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:18,000
man and a tiny thong it doesn't cover

33
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:21,720
everything what this means is that if you had something in a picture that you

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:27,780
didn't want people to see like say photo ID or important documents or

35
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:32,400
genitalia that information may be recoverable and by that information I

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,239
mean quite possibly an uncensored photo of your social insurance number and or

37
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:40,739
penis what if it's my social insurance number written along with me what if

38
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:44,519
that's where I keep it even worse given the widespread use of a screenshot

39
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:48,840
editor on literally the world's most popular OS it may be possible to

40
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:53,700
unredact sensitive information released by reporters whistleblowers and

41
00:02:50,819 --> 00:02:57,120
government agencies so Julian Assange might still be locked up but I think we

42
00:02:55,620 --> 00:03:01,200
about to learn some stuff is he locked up oh he is in prison yes

43
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:06,180
fantastic I mean that's not fantastic but okay and Google is opening early

44
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:11,580
access to its AI chatbot Bard and the reviews are in it's just okay I mean

45
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:16,260
it's a chatbot there's been like a million of these things at this point and I'm starting to get their names

46
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:20,760
confused like a forgetful Uncle who never calls for a long time google was

47
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,900
the big dog in the AI space but Tech personalities like Marquez Brownlee and

48
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:29,220
Luke lafrenier have given this experimental version of Bard a

49
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:32,159
resounding if anything Bard feels extremely cautious compared to

50
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,500
everything else we've seen in recent months perhaps understandably so given

51
00:03:34,739 --> 00:03:41,580
past hiccups Bard's page is covered in disclaimers and caveats warning users

52
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:45,299
that its output may not be fully trustworthy and the wait list is

53
00:03:43,379 --> 00:03:50,580
currently restricted to users 18 and older just in case you might want to get

54
00:03:47,099 --> 00:03:52,379
into some Saucy search engine role play

55
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:56,220
a lot of people do that one interesting addition to the AI

56
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,000
chatbot formula is that Google hasn't has included an option to look at

57
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:05,400
alternative drafts of Bard's responses allowing users to contrast and compare

58
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:07,200
unlike Bing it doesn't always cite its

59
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,799
sources which led to it answering a question from a Tom's Hardware writer

60
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,580
with information taken word for word from a Tom's Hardware article when the

61
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:20,479
writer then asked if Bard had just committed plagiarism the AI fully agreed

62
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,979
you got me

63
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,400
they're still working on me so yeah so even if the best thing we can say about

64
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:30,960
Bard right now is that it's just as eloquent as Microsoft's new Bing it's

65
00:04:28,979 --> 00:04:35,340
also never threatened anyone accused them of murder or tried to convince them

66
00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:40,020

west no one's really checked though so Adobe has launched the beta of firefly a

77
00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:28,680
set of generative AI tools which Adobe says have been trained without stealing

78
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,300
the copyrighted work of artists only the freshest locally sourced organic stock

00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:42,720
assisted and is developing a do not train metadata tag for artists who don't

81
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,919
want their work used to train AI art systems it's like one of those do not

00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,460
disturb signs that stop hotel maids from stealing guests Underpants and then

83
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,419
combining them into a massive underwear database than procedurally generating

00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,620
remarkably similar Underpants without proper attribution it's a real problem

in the hotel industry step profit at some point DP Review one of

86
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:08,880
the world's best resources on cameras is being shut down because they're owned by

87
00:06:06,419 --> 00:06:12,660
Amazon a company that infamously does not care about the quality of consumer

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,860
reviews DP Review has been providing detailed comprehensive reviews on

89
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:21,060
cameras for the past 25 years serving the Enthusiast Community with invaluable

90
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:27,500
information something that didn't change when they were subsumed by Amazon's

91
00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:27,500
amorphous mass in 2007.

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,759
no lunch breaks

93
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:37,680
get in the happy box but Amazon needs to

94
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:40,979
make cuts and clearly the best place to start is a successful Enthusiast

95
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,319
resource with a powerful brand and hundreds of thousands of fans I have to

don't even don't really need them valve suddenly announced this morning

97
00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:53,940
that Counter-Strike 2 will arrive this summer as a free update to CS go

98
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,860
complete with overhauled visuals volumetric smoke grenades and what valve

99
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,460
calls subtic update architecture meaning that the speed of players actions won't

100
00:07:00,539 --> 00:07:05,460
rely on their tick rate we'll have to wait to hear about more features which

101
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:09,419
will be announced closer to launch but since the sequel took 23 years to come

102
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:15,300
out a few months so what is too bad is EA de-listing

103
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:17,460
Battlefield 1943 and both bad companies

104
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:22,199
from digital stores in advance of their online services shutting down in

105
00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:25,380
December sure we could change the game so that you can buy it and play the

106
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:28,560
single player without requiring it to call our servers first but honestly

107
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:32,280
we're kind of warming up to the whole piracy thing is probably what they're

108
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,060
thinking I have to imagine that's the only it's the only thing that makes sense

109
00:07:34,139 --> 00:07:41,160
hackers have stolen one and a half million dollars worth of digital dash

110
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,419
from cryptocurrency ATMs due to an unusual zero day vulnerability the

111
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:49,199
terminals allowed customers to exchange various cryptocurrencies that part makes

112
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:54,440
sense or they could also for some unclear reason upload videos to the ATM

113
00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:02,639
it's just for Rick Rolling the hacker used this system to upload and execute a

114
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:06,539
malicious program which then drained several hot wallets which are like

115
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,560
regular wallets except they're connected to the internet and they are incredibly

116
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:14,880
sexy what's a cold wallet then it's where you

117
00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:17,880
put your Bitcoin in a USB drive and hide it under your mattress that's actually

118
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:22,379
just not a joke that's just what it is and scientists have found a key compound

119
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:27,240
for the formation of organic life in samples taken from an asteroid the

120
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:31,800
compound in question is uracil one of the four nucleobases that form RNA and

121
00:08:29,819 --> 00:08:35,459
not actually medication for people with incontinence that's that's where I well

122
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:41,219
I thought it was this is the strongest evidence yet discovered of a theory

123
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:43,020
known as panspermia which means exactly

124
00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:47,160
what it sounds like While most scientists believe life on

125
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,820
Earth arose from a warm mixture of organic compounds that started getting

126
00:08:48,899 --> 00:08:54,899
uppity one day it's possible that those compounds

127
00:08:52,860 --> 00:09:00,060
originated somewhere other than Earth and traveled here on meteorites it's

128
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,140
also possible that the sample may have been contaminated somehow or altered by

129
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:09,240
its Passage through the atmosphere but let me dream my possibly

130
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,380
extraterrestrial dreams okay I want to

131
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,220
believe I always thought I was different and you

132
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:18,240
don't have to dream about getting more Tech news if you just show up on Friday

133
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,260
when we post another episode I keep telling you this just just subscribe

134
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:24,740
just be late
