WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640
obviously the big news was sony's playstation 5 event which naturally i

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.320
didn't watch and absolutely hated everything about it the games looked bad

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:17.760
the the tim tim sweeney he he was ow geez

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:20.160
get out of here we need a ps4 fanboys david

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:22.480
david yeah

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.000
it's pretty great so sony finally took off the wraps of the physical design of

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:31.359
the playstation 5 yesterday but it looks like some of that rap got stuck on

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:37.280
something because what the frig is this i mean i guess

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:40.480
it's better than a weird-shaped v pizza

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.000
holder dev kit but like not really just

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.719
like microsoft's upcoming next-gen xboxes the ps5 will come in two versions

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.360
one with and one without a disk drive meaning that the lot should be four

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.079
next-gen consoles launching this fall i'm gonna get all of them but if you

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.199
wanna make your decision based on looks well the mean potential of the ps5 is

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.480
undoubtedly stronger like it's so strong in the force it's amazing sony's

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:07.040
announcement live stream also showed off a boatload of games like

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:11.600
so many and while it may be hard for pc gamers to admit frankly well they all

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.200
look friggin sweet except for

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.520
another version of gta 5. this game is approaching skyrim levels of platform

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.680
re-releases among the titles announced was the new insomniac developed

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.840
spider-man maz morales which turned out to be just an expansion for the original

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:33.280
game until it turned out one more time that it's actually a standalone game hey

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:37.119
confusing kina bridge of spirits is a pixar looking zelda-inspired adventure

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.520
horizon zero's dawn sequel is called forbidden west and is absolutely the

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:45.280
best freaking game ever settle down and if you're worried about all these being

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.840
console exclusives over half the games shown will be coming to pc at some point

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.759
so just hold on the night is darkest before

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.240
the dawn which is not true but it's usually like

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.079
kind of gradual brightening but it's like it's not i mean it's like a

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:04.320
gradient sun's coming up tomorrow

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.520
let the bottom dollar come tomorrow let's stay in game mode for a little bit

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.120
longer because the sony event wasn't the only dump of new game announcements made

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:17.200
this week the ign expo saw the release of trailers for werewolf the apocalypse

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.360
which looks as bonkers as it sounds middle hellsinger which looks like doom

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.440
mix with guitar here really that's amazing dual universe a multiplayer

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:30.080
mashup of space engineers and star citizen and void train a trippy survival game

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:36.640
where you build and protect a multi-dimensional train in zero gravity

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:40.239
yeah you know that's classic genre anyways a new star wars game called

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.000
squadrons also announced after it was unintentionally posted on xbox.com front

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:48.640
page it looks like a multiplayer dogfighting game but forgive us if we're

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:53.920
a little skeptical that ea isn't just gonna release a microtransaction heavy

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:58.400
abomination that spits in the original rogue squadron's face

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.599
come on ea make it good do it for porkins

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.560
moving on to the actual tech news now microsoft has said it will stop providing its facial recognition

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.159
technology to the american police forces until federal regulation can be enacted

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.440
concerning its use with the announcement microsoft joins amazon which said it

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.599
will also stop selling its facial recognition tech to police for one year

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.120
and ibm which said it's pausing all development on facial recognition

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.640
wholesale the company's decisions are reportedly based on studies ongoing

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.159
since 2018 which showed that facial recognition systems performed worse when

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.360
analyzing women and people with darker skin and obviously that's

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:37.200
really bad now many law enforcement agencies across

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:40.720
the u.s still use facial recognition tech from smaller companies but let's

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.040
hope that with the tech giants pushing for regulation we'll see less potential

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.720
for abuse now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by a private

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:53.840

configurable encryption levels and a kill switch to keep you in control and

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.439
when combined with private browsing it can make websites think you're in a completely different country you can

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.879
practice your acting and pretend you're british you can connect up to five

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:12.879

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.120
apple has removed two podcast apps from the app store in china after the apps

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.479
refused to censor their content at the request of the country's government

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.000
meanwhile zoom has added new features that will allow the company to remove or

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.759
block specific participants if they break china's speech laws so in case you

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:45.520
were worried about the trade war affecting apple and zoom's overseas business don't worry seems like they're

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:49.360
doing just fine i'm so worried about apple every day

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:52.960
elon musk's research lab open ai has started commercial sales of its ai

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.240
powered text generation system with reddit being one of the first customers

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:01.759
hoping to use the tech to automate content moderation this would sound fine

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:05.440
if open ai hadn't previously warned that the tech was too dangerous to release

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:10.400
i mean obviously they fixed it and ai text

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.280
generation is completely harmless wait

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.000
uh who wrote this zero

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:19.280
one google stadium is now available on

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.840
almost every Android phone after a recent update and even you can play

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:28.560
around with new touch controls as well which are probably horrible

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:32.400
if you jumped in on it early enough you may have even sneaked in some leaked

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.759
gameplay of ubisoft god and monsters which accidentally got published on the

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:39.600
service briefly before taking down google probably saw a big spike in

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:44.160
player count yeah above more than like 10. and got all excited before they took

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:48.000
the game down and everybody left again it's okay google snapchat has added

00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:52.240
voice commands to the app so you can now ask snapchat to do things like make my

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.000
hair pink and uh we'll find a filter to do that that's pretty cool i wonder if

00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.560
you can say his snapchat make me look like i'm on tick tock no

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.840
that's the clock app and the internet archive has ended their national emergency library program which allowed

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:09.919
basically anybody to borrow copyright protected digital books with no limits

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.000
after four commercial book publishers threatened to sue it was a nice thing to

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:20.520
do during the pandemic but you can't forget about capitalism for that long

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.520
it'll come get you

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:27.520
