WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.279
people keep saying they want a new LTT Christmas album but what about a

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

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:17.279
Start the Fire by Billy Joel care to invest YouTube is real jazzed about a

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

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.199
ads and involves an ad popping up as soon as viewers pause the video they're

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:32.320
watching because Tech Executives cannot bear the thought of anyone's eyeballs

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.040
going literally 1 second without fresh content they'll dry up they need to be

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:42.960
lubricated well great news in their q1 earnings call Google said the pause ads

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:44.239
pilot drove strong brand lift results

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

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

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:57.760
stop it also seems to align with similar pause screen ads recently rolled out by

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.480
Roku and the UK streaming service Channel 4 the latter of which apparently

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

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.680
look at a big bloke on Goggle box he looks funny at least YouTube's version

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:16.200
shrinks the video a bit and throws the ad up on the side admittedly that

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:19.560
doesn't sound too bad if the top comments on a Reddit post about the

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.960
format or anything to go by it looks like part of the reason YouTube has kept

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

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.920
of the less invasive options the ad still robs you of the crumb of attention

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:37.439
you were about to use to have an original thought but let's be honest it

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.799
wasn't that good qualcomm's big claims about its ARM-based laptop chips

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:47.280
continue the company now says their recently announced Snapdragon X+ may be

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:53.520
a tier lower than its upcoming X Elite lineup but it can still outperform

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:56.079
Apple's M3 by about 10% at least in

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:59.920
multi- threaded performance that's a bit hard to believe given that a new leaked

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.280
Benchmark of what is presumably Microsoft's upcoming surface laptop 6

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:11.120
powered by a Snapdragon X Elite couldn't beat a Macbook equipped with an M3 Pro

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

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.239
believed which they are not according to a piece published Yesterday by semi

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:24.360
accurate a tech news site seemingly admitting that they may be talking out

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:29.879
of their ass we give you the truth kind of multiple sources told semi acccurate

00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:34.160
that Qualcomm is cheating on their EX Elite benchmarks and public demos the

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.599
company denied those claims in a statement published yesterday as usual

00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:42.560
the proper advice here is to wait until actual reviewers get their hands on the

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.959
product but it's just hard to ignore the possibility that Windows on ARM could be

00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:51.640
something other than hot garbage it could be cold garbage at least it's less

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:57.159
smelly maybe although given a recent analysis predicting that the coming wave

00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.440
of AIP PCS will be accompanied by a 10

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:03.040
to 15% price hike Qualcomm intensely

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:08.760
pushing Snapdragon X hype could very well just be the world's most hilarious

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:11.640
prank got you ah they actually suck Tik

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:16.120
Tock parent company bite dance has until January 19th to sell the app or get

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

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.360
marrying Facebook it's a green card marriage the Chinese Tech Giant says

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.519
it's preparing to sue the US government to block the legislation and sources

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

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

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:43.599
a do I'm imagining Tik Tok Joker it's

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:48.200
Tik Tok but other sources told the information that despite the public

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:53.280
bravado bite dance is considering an option to sell Tik Tok without its

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:58.519
proprietary recommendation algorithm the source of all its power however bite

00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:03.159
dance explicitly denied this report in a post on the social media owned by the

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:08.200
company toow while reporting about this law has focused on Tik Tock any number

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:13.480
of other social apps with over 1 million American users and owned by a foreign

00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:19.400
adversary defined as North Korea China Russia and Iran like for example WeChat

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.560
are also affected the clock is now ticking and American Tik Tok users seem

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

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:30.400
India banned Tik Tok in 2020 and

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:34.680
everyone just moved to to YouTube shorts and reels if anything I feel like Tik

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.800
Tok deserves to be banned for giving us shorts and reels we didn't want that

00:04:36.440 --> 00:04:41.680
either but you'll be giving style icon

prepared for anything with a pair of shoes from our sponsor vessie they claim

bit no no no really I'm asking because I

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

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:33.240
the little stories after I we Nobody Knows the FCC has voted in a split 32

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:37.880
decision to restore Obama era net neutrality rules that prevent internet

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.280
providers from favoring certain websites over others and to be fair you'd

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.280
probably be pretty annoyed to find out that the reason why Naruto shipuden on

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.880
Hulu won't stop buffering is because Comcast is deep in the pocket of big

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.360
crunchy roll that being said it's not clear that

00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:58.199
this kind of Foul Play is actually happening and further judicial review

00:05:56.520 --> 00:06:03.080
might find that this newest change to the net neutrality rules is a violation

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:06.840
of the major questions Doctrine which basically means that elected officials

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:11.639
should be making big policy decisions not random appointed bureaucrats after

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

00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:22.319
has open sourced a family of AI models called open Elm that are designed to run

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:27.479
on device rather than through Cloud servers and because of this the largest

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.120
open Elm model has 3 billion parameters

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:36.680
about 500 times fewer parameters than open AI GPT 4 naturally they all kind of

00:06:34.039 --> 00:06:45.720
suck on The mlu Benchmark Apple's smallest open Elm model scored 25.7 2

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:47.880
out of 100 uh for reference GPT 4 scored

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:51.639
86.4 speaking of open sourcing disappointments though Microsoft has

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:57.199
released the source for the infamously buggy and unpopular MS DOS

00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:01.120
4.0 this week after finding out the news redditors joined together in asking

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:05.520
Microsoft to please open source something else it's okay to open source

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.199
things if they suck it's literally giving your younger brother the crappy

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:14.360
thing you're done with Nintendo's highly anticipated switch 2 console will

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:20.520
apparently have joycons what and they'll attach to the console

00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:22.840
magnetically according to Spanish site

00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:27.280
Vandal who also correctly reported on the switch OLED's features before that

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:30.720
console was released so I guess we can trust them a little bit vandals

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.000
reporting is is based on information from switch to accessory makers and

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:39.160
while Vandal doesn't know if current joycons will also be supported by the

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.199
upcoming console they claim your switch Pro controllers will be compatible at

00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:47.159
least until the joysticks start drifting more than the entire city of Tokyo I

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

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:57.479
Furious rocket League a high school principal in Baltimore was temporarily

00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:02.479
suspended after a recording of a racist rant in his voice was uploaded to social

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

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

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:15.199
deep fake created by the school's Athletics director who the principal had

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:21.240
investigated for possible corruption this is scandalous the plot of HBO's

00:08:18.520 --> 00:08:25.639
Vice principls the Athletics director has since been arrested but it seems he

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:30.919
was only caught because he used School computers as well as his school issued

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:35.560
email address to sign up for the voice duplication service and to distri

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:40.560
distribute the fake recording this would seem to indicate that disturbingly dumb

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:45.800
people can make deep fakes now and according to a recently published

00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:48.200
research paper biotech startup profluent

00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:53.800
has created an AI model trained on crisper Gene editors pulled from nature

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:58.519
which can create artificial Gene editors previously unknown to God or man

00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:04.800
profluent has apparently already used this technology to to edit human DNA

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:06.959
which honestly feels a little fast it

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

00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:16.000
making AIS that can make new and improved human beings uh but have we

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:20.200
considered what will happen if the AI starts hallucinating while making our

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:24.839
new generation of gataka children wow good reference I mean you could just be

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:29.800
giving birth and boom elephant baby that's 22 months of gestation no one

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:33.320
wants it but the best thing about our future

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:38.600
elephant Offspring is that they won't forget to come back on Monday for more

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:43.519
Tech news that I think isn't that a myth

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:43.519
they must forget but they never forgive
