providers from favoring certain websites over others and to be fair you'd probably be pretty annoyed to find out that the reason why Naruto shipuden on Hulu won't stop buffering is because Comcast is deep in the pocket of big crunchy roll that being said it's not clear that this kind of Foul Play is actually happening and further judicial review might find that this newest change to the net neutrality rules is a violation of the major questions Doctrine which basically means that elected officials should be making big policy decisions not random appointed bureaucrats after all we don't vote for the FCC chair that's what the Illuminati is for Apple has open sourced a family of AI models called open Elm that are designed to run on device rather than through Cloud servers and because of this the largest open Elm model has 3 billion parameters about 500 times fewer parameters than open AI GPT 4 naturally they all kind of suck on The mlu Benchmark Apple's smallest open Elm model scored 25.7 2 out of 100 uh for reference GPT 4 scored 86.4 speaking of open sourcing disappointments though Microsoft has released the source for the infamously buggy and unpopular MS DOS 4.0 this week after finding out the news redditors joined together in asking Microsoft to please open source something else it's okay to open source things if they suck it's literally giving your younger brother the crappy thing you're done with Nintendo's highly anticipated switch 2 console will apparently have joycons what and they'll attach to the console magnetically according to Spanish site Vandal who also correctly reported on the switch OLED's features before that console was released so I guess we can trust them a little bit vandals reporting is is based on information from switch to accessory makers and while Vandal doesn't know if current joycons will also be supported by the upcoming console they claim your switch Pro controllers will be compatible at least until the joysticks start drifting more than the entire city of Tokyo I wonder if you know how they live in Tokyo see me know have to go pass and Furious rocket League a high school principal in Baltimore was temporarily suspended after a recording of a racist rant in his voice was uploaded to social media and the fact that I said in his voice is a bit of a foreshadowing here except that it turns out it wasn't a recording of him at all it was an AI deep fake created by the school's Athletics director who the principal had investigated for possible corruption this is scandalous the plot of HBO's Vice principls the Athletics director has since been arrested but it seems he was only caught because he used School computers as well as his school issued email address to sign up for the voice duplication service and to distri distribute the fake recording this would seem to indicate that disturbingly dumb people can make deep fakes now and according to a recently published research paper biotech startup profluent has created an AI model trained on crisper Gene editors pulled from nature which can create artificial Gene editors previously unknown to God or man profluent has apparently already used this technology to to edit human DNA which honestly feels a little fast it seems now we're not just making AIS that can make new and improved AIS we're making AIS that can make new and improved human beings uh but have we considered what will happen if the AI starts hallucinating while making our new generation of gataka children wow good reference I mean you could just be giving birth and boom elephant baby that's 22 months of gestation no one wants it but the best thing about our future elephant Offspring is that they won't forget to come back on Monday for more Tech news that I think isn't that a myth they must forget but they never forgive"}
