1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,279
people keep saying they want a new LTT Christmas album but what about a

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,719
techlinked album it's just a 35 minute long tech news themed cover of We Didn't

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:17,279
Start the Fire by Billy Joel care to invest YouTube is real jazzed about a

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,279
new ad format they've been piloting for about a year on TVs it's called pause

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,199
ads and involves an ad popping up as soon as viewers pause the video they're

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,320
watching because Tech Executives cannot bear the thought of anyone's eyeballs

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,040
going literally 1 second without fresh content they'll dry up they need to be

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:42,960
lubricated well great news in their q1 earnings call Google said the pause ads

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,239
pilot drove strong brand lift results

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,840
and while they didn't say whether they plan to roll this out to more users it

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,160
would be kind of weird for them to decide they've made enough money from this kind of AD and now it's time to

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,760
stop it also seems to align with similar pause screen ads recently rolled out by

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,480
Roku and the UK streaming service Channel 4 the latter of which apparently

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,479
puts the ad right in front of the paused video so you can't even get a closer

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,680
look at a big bloke on Goggle box he looks funny at least YouTube's version

16
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:16,200
shrinks the video a bit and throws the ad up on the side admittedly that

17
00:01:13,759 --> 00:01:19,560
doesn't sound too bad if the top comments on a Reddit post about the

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,960
format or anything to go by it looks like part of the reason YouTube has kept

19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,920
the trial going for so long is because as far as ad placements go this is one

20
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,920
of the less invasive options the ad still robs you of the crumb of attention

21
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:37,439
you were about to use to have an original thought but let's be honest it

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,799
wasn't that good qualcomm's big claims about its ARM-based laptop chips

23
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:47,280
continue the company now says their recently announced Snapdragon X+ may be

24
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:53,520
a tier lower than its upcoming X Elite lineup but it can still outperform

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:56,079
Apple's M3 by about 10% at least in

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,920
multi- threaded performance that's a bit hard to believe given that a new leaked

27
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:05,280
Benchmark of what is presumably Microsoft's upcoming surface laptop 6

28
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:11,120
powered by a Snapdragon X Elite couldn't beat a Macbook equipped with an M3 Pro

29
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:15,920
but it does get Mighty close that is if all of these early benchmarks are to be

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,239
believed which they are not according to a piece published Yesterday by semi

31
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:24,360
accurate a tech news site seemingly admitting that they may be talking out

32
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:29,879
of their ass we give you the truth kind of multiple sources told semi acccurate

33
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:34,160
that Qualcomm is cheating on their EX Elite benchmarks and public demos the

34
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,599
company denied those claims in a statement published yesterday as usual

35
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:42,560
the proper advice here is to wait until actual reviewers get their hands on the

36
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,959
product but it's just hard to ignore the possibility that Windows on ARM could be

37
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:51,640
something other than hot garbage it could be cold garbage at least it's less

38
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:57,159
smelly maybe although given a recent analysis predicting that the coming wave

39
00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,440
of AIP PCS will be accompanied by a 10

40
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,040
to 15% price hike Qualcomm intensely

41
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:08,760
pushing Snapdragon X hype could very well just be the world's most hilarious

42
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,640
prank got you ah they actually suck Tik

43
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Tock parent company bite dance has until January 19th to sell the app or get

44
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:21,000
deported thanks to a recently passed law but it ain't giving up that easy they're

45
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,360
marrying Facebook it's a green card marriage the Chinese Tech Giant says

46
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,519
it's preparing to sue the US government to block the legislation and sources

47
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:35,599
told Reuters that if the company's legal op fail it will burn Tik Tok to the

48
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:41,280
ground it's not about the money it's about sending a message it's not sending

49
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:43,599
a do I'm imagining Tik Tok Joker it's

50
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Tik Tok but other sources told the information that despite the public

51
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:53,280
bravado bite dance is considering an option to sell Tik Tok without its

52
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:58,519
proprietary recommendation algorithm the source of all its power however bite

53
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,159
dance explicitly denied this report in a post on the social media owned by the

54
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:08,200
company toow while reporting about this law has focused on Tik Tock any number

55
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:13,480
of other social apps with over 1 million American users and owned by a foreign

56
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:19,400
adversary defined as North Korea China Russia and Iran like for example WeChat

57
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,560
are also affected the clock is now ticking and American Tik Tok users seem

58
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:28,960
to be having a tough time imagining what they would do if the app was banned Well

59
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,400
India banned Tik Tok in 2020 and

60
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,680
everyone just moved to to YouTube shorts and reels if anything I feel like Tik

61
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Tok deserves to be banned for giving us shorts and reels we didn't want that

62
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,680
either but you'll be giving style icon

63
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,840
prepared for anything with a pair of shoes from our sponsor vessie they claim

64
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,919

72
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,240
bit no no no really I'm asking because I

73
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:27,240
I I don't know anymore is that little Segway before the ad break or is it all

74
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,240
the little stories after I we Nobody Knows the FCC has voted in a split 32

75
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:37,880
decision to restore Obama era net neutrality rules that prevent internet

76
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,280
providers from favoring certain websites over others and to be fair you'd

77
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,280
probably be pretty annoyed to find out that the reason why Naruto shipuden on

78
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Hulu won't stop buffering is because Comcast is deep in the pocket of big

79
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,360
crunchy roll that being said it's not clear that

80
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,199
this kind of Foul Play is actually happening and further judicial review

81
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:03,080
might find that this newest change to the net neutrality rules is a violation

82
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:06,840
of the major questions Doctrine which basically means that elected officials

83
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:11,639
should be making big policy decisions not random appointed bureaucrats after

84
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:17,360
all we don't vote for the FCC chair that's what the Illuminati is for Apple

85
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:22,319
has open sourced a family of AI models called open Elm that are designed to run

86
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:27,479
on device rather than through Cloud servers and because of this the largest

87
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:30,120
open Elm model has 3 billion parameters

88
00:06:27,479 --> 00:06:36,680
about 500 times fewer parameters than open AI GPT 4 naturally they all kind of

89
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:45,720
suck on The mlu Benchmark Apple's smallest open Elm model scored 25.7 2

90
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:47,880
out of 100 uh for reference GPT 4 scored

91
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,639
86.4 speaking of open sourcing disappointments though Microsoft has

92
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,199
released the source for the infamously buggy and unpopular MS DOS

93
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,120
4.0 this week after finding out the news redditors joined together in asking

94
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,520
Microsoft to please open source something else it's okay to open source

95
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,199
things if they suck it's literally giving your younger brother the crappy

96
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,360
thing you're done with Nintendo's highly anticipated switch 2 console will

97
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:20,520
apparently have joycons what and they'll attach to the console

98
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,840
magnetically according to Spanish site

99
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:27,280
Vandal who also correctly reported on the switch OLED's features before that

100
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,720
console was released so I guess we can trust them a little bit vandals

101
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000
reporting is is based on information from switch to accessory makers and

102
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,160
while Vandal doesn't know if current joycons will also be supported by the

103
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:43,199
upcoming console they claim your switch Pro controllers will be compatible at

104
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,159
least until the joysticks start drifting more than the entire city of Tokyo I

105
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,520
wonder if you know how they live in Tokyo see me know have to go pass and

106
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:57,479
Furious rocket League a high school principal in Baltimore was temporarily

107
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:02,479
suspended after a recording of a racist rant in his voice was uploaded to social

108
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:06,199
media and the fact that I said in his voice is a bit of a foreshadowing here

109
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,840
except that it turns out it wasn't a recording of him at all it was an AI

110
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:15,199
deep fake created by the school's Athletics director who the principal had

111
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:21,240
investigated for possible corruption this is scandalous the plot of HBO's

112
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:25,639
Vice principls the Athletics director has since been arrested but it seems he

113
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:30,919
was only caught because he used School computers as well as his school issued

114
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:35,560
email address to sign up for the voice duplication service and to distri

115
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:40,560
distribute the fake recording this would seem to indicate that disturbingly dumb

116
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,800
people can make deep fakes now and according to a recently published

117
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:48,200
research paper biotech startup profluent

118
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:53,800
has created an AI model trained on crisper Gene editors pulled from nature

119
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:58,519
which can create artificial Gene editors previously unknown to God or man

120
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:04,800
profluent has apparently already used this technology to to edit human DNA

121
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,959
which honestly feels a little fast it

122
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:11,040
seems now we're not just making AIS that can make new and improved AIS we're

123
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:16,000
making AIS that can make new and improved human beings uh but have we

124
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,200
considered what will happen if the AI starts hallucinating while making our

125
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:24,839
new generation of gataka children wow good reference I mean you could just be

126
00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:29,800
giving birth and boom elephant baby that's 22 months of gestation no one

127
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,320
wants it but the best thing about our future

128
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:38,600
elephant Offspring is that they won't forget to come back on Monday for more

129
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:43,519
Tech news that I think isn't that a myth

130
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,519
they must forget but they never forgive
