WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:08.880
company fires off an email and now I have to work

00:00:06.779 --> 00:00:12.840
how does this make sense this is Raja kaduri Chief Architect of Intel's

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:17.279
discrete graphics cards is leaving the company because if his previous post as

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.359
head of AMD's Radeon gpus as any indication launching new products that

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

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.640
okay seriously we needed Intel Arc gpus

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

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:39.960
we can be still friends friends make jokes anyways raja's off to form his own

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:45.360
gaming startup focused on what else AI it'll apparently focus on

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.739
creating generative AI tools for movies games and other media that are

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.760
compatible with basically any processor not just chips from NVIDIA it's only

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.559
fair that kaduri is taking the risk of going independent now having worked

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

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:07.680
Prime midlife crisis territory again this is not he seems nice I'm not trying

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

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.140
credit under his leadership while Intel's arc graphics card suffered

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:20.640
delays and initially lagged behind the competition in terms of performance that

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.540
Gap has started closing significantly as Intel releases improve drivers it was

00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:28.920
the first time that a major player entered the dedicated graphics Market in

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:33.960
years making it a qualified success for Intel which has otherwise had a pretty

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:37.619
rough year not rough as in sandpaper rough as in getting dragged along the

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

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:45.960
was it she did the Windows 11 Snipping Tool and

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:50.100
Windows 10 snip and sketch have a bug where it may be possible to recover and

00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:53.820
view the original screenshot after it has been cropped or censored now if that

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.540
sounds familiar it might be because basically the same issue was patched on

00:01:55.860 --> 00:02:01.740
the Google pixel earlier this week despite the fact that Microsoft and

00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:06.360
Google built these tools entirely separately they appear to have made the

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:10.800
exact same error when the newly cropped image saves it saves over the original

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:16.020
image but that new image is smaller than the original image and much like a large

00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:18.000
man and a tiny thong it doesn't cover

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:21.720
everything what this means is that if you had something in a picture that you

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:27.780
didn't want people to see like say photo ID or important documents or

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:32.400
genitalia that information may be recoverable and by that information I

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:36.239
mean quite possibly an uncensored photo of your social insurance number and or

00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:40.739
penis what if it's my social insurance number written along with me what if

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:44.519
that's where I keep it even worse given the widespread use of a screenshot

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:48.840
editor on literally the world's most popular OS it may be possible to

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:53.700
unredact sensitive information released by reporters whistleblowers and

00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:57.120
government agencies so Julian Assange might still be locked up but I think we

00:02:55.620 --> 00:03:01.200
about to learn some stuff is he locked up oh he is in prison yes

00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:06.180
fantastic I mean that's not fantastic but okay and Google is opening early

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

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

00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:20.760
confused like a forgetful Uncle who never calls for a long time google was

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:24.900
the big dog in the AI space but Tech personalities like Marquez Brownlee and

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:29.220
Luke lafrenier have given this experimental version of Bard a

00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:32.159
resounding if anything Bard feels extremely cautious compared to

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.500
everything else we've seen in recent months perhaps understandably so given

00:03:34.739 --> 00:03:41.580
past hiccups Bard's page is covered in disclaimers and caveats warning users

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.299
that its output may not be fully trustworthy and the wait list is

00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:50.580
currently restricted to users 18 and older just in case you might want to get

00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:52.379
into some Saucy search engine role play

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:56.220
a lot of people do that one interesting addition to the AI

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.000
chatbot formula is that Google hasn't has included an option to look at

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:05.400
alternative drafts of Bard's responses allowing users to contrast and compare

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:07.200
unlike Bing it doesn't always cite its

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.799
sources which led to it answering a question from a Tom's Hardware writer

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:14.580
with information taken word for word from a Tom's Hardware article when the

00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:20.479
writer then asked if Bard had just committed plagiarism the AI fully agreed

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:22.979
you got me

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

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

00:04:28.979 --> 00:04:35.340
also never threatened anyone accused them of murder or tried to convince them

00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:40.020
to leave their spouse yet give it time now it's time for quick

bits brought to you by the Corsair Xenia on Flex bendable gaming monitor which

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:47.340

00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:57.180
OLED experts at LG the display bends from completely flat to an 800 R curve

the link below they call me the quick bit kid and I'm the quickest bit in the

00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:23.699
west no one's really checked though so Adobe has launched the beta of firefly a

00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:28.680
set of generative AI tools which Adobe says have been trained without stealing

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:33.300
the copyrighted work of artists only the freshest locally sourced organic stock

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:38.100
photos Adobe will automatically tag content developed with firefly as AI

00:05:35.820 --> 00:05:42.720
assisted and is developing a do not train metadata tag for artists who don't

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

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

00:05:56.460 --> 00:06:04.259
in the hotel industry step profit at some point DP Review one of

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:08.880
the world's best resources on cameras is being shut down because they're owned by

00:06:06.419 --> 00:06:12.660
Amazon a company that infamously does not care about the quality of consumer

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.860
reviews DP Review has been providing detailed comprehensive reviews on

00:06:14.460 --> 00:06:21.060
cameras for the past 25 years serving the Enthusiast Community with invaluable

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:27.500
information something that didn't change when they were subsumed by Amazon's

00:06:22.979 --> 00:06:27.500
amorphous mass in 2007.

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:35.759
no lunch breaks

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:37.680
get in the happy box but Amazon needs to

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.979
make cuts and clearly the best place to start is a successful Enthusiast

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.319
resource with a powerful brand and hundreds of thousands of fans I have to

00:06:42.900 --> 00:06:49.800
don't even don't really need them valve suddenly announced this morning

00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:53.940
that Counter-Strike 2 will arrive this summer as a free update to CS go

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:58.860
complete with overhauled visuals volumetric smoke grenades and what valve

00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:02.460
calls subtic update architecture meaning that the speed of players actions won't

00:07:00.539 --> 00:07:05.460
rely on their tick rate we'll have to wait to hear about more features which

00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:09.419
will be announced closer to launch but since the sequel took 23 years to come

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:15.300
out a few months so what is too bad is EA de-listing

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:17.460
Battlefield 1943 and both bad companies

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:22.199
from digital stores in advance of their online services shutting down in

00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:25.380
December sure we could change the game so that you can buy it and play the

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.560
single player without requiring it to call our servers first but honestly

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:32.280
we're kind of warming up to the whole piracy thing is probably what they're

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

00:07:34.139 --> 00:07:41.160
hackers have stolen one and a half million dollars worth of digital dash

00:07:38.520 --> 00:07:45.419
from cryptocurrency ATMs due to an unusual zero day vulnerability the

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:49.199
terminals allowed customers to exchange various cryptocurrencies that part makes

00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:54.440
sense or they could also for some unclear reason upload videos to the ATM

00:07:55.500 --> 00:08:02.639
it's just for Rick Rolling the hacker used this system to upload and execute a

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:06.539
malicious program which then drained several hot wallets which are like

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:10.560
regular wallets except they're connected to the internet and they are incredibly

00:08:08.580 --> 00:08:14.880
sexy what's a cold wallet then it's where you

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:17.880
put your Bitcoin in a USB drive and hide it under your mattress that's actually

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

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:27.240
for the formation of organic life in samples taken from an asteroid the

00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:31.800
compound in question is uracil one of the four nucleobases that form RNA and

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:35.459
not actually medication for people with incontinence that's that's where I well

00:08:33.959 --> 00:08:41.219
I thought it was this is the strongest evidence yet discovered of a theory

00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:43.020
known as panspermia which means exactly

00:08:41.219 --> 00:08:47.160
what it sounds like While most scientists believe life on

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:50.820
Earth arose from a warm mixture of organic compounds that started getting

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:54.899
uppity one day it's possible that those compounds

00:08:52.860 --> 00:09:00.060
originated somewhere other than Earth and traveled here on meteorites it's

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:04.140
also possible that the sample may have been contaminated somehow or altered by

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:09.240
its Passage through the atmosphere but let me dream my possibly

00:09:05.880 --> 00:09:10.380
extraterrestrial dreams okay I want to

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.220
believe I always thought I was different and you

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

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.260
when we post another episode I keep telling you this just just subscribe

00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:24.740
just be late
