1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,799
Tech news is an important part of a balanced breakfast sadly it only gets

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,000
delivered in the late evening Pacific time nothing will bring iMessage to

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,280
Android which is so cool it almost makes me less upset at being forced to write

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:19,640
puns every time we report on this freaking company why did you do this

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,439
that's right nothing the company founded by OnePlus co-founder Carl pay has

6
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:28,560
announced nothing chats an app that will make a message from an Android phone

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:34,280
show up as the coveted blue bubble on iPhones because nothing believes in

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,440
Windows not walls I mean sure nothing

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,000
chats is exclusive to their own phone and that's kind of a wall but what are

10
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:44,200
they supposed to do live in a gazebo the app is a collaboration with Sunbird one

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:49,440
of a few different companies providing iMessage to Android bridging services in

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,399
beta Marquez Brown Lee asked nothing how it works and they confirmed that they're

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,600
literally routing Android messages through a Mac on a server Farm somewhere

14
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:02,160
which is wild but at least it seems less pathetic than Google taking out ads to

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,200
complain that Apple won't be nice to them you should let me have the blue

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,479
bubbl guys are they're hogging all the blue bubbles features like group chats

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,320
typing indicators voice notes and sending photos that don't look like they

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,840
were spat on by Tim Cook during Transit are working now while read receipts and

19
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:24,520
message reactions are coming soon the only question now is what will Apple do

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:30,439
Tim won't take this lying down insolent worm you have trespassed and incurred my

21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,600
wrath Agony and despair shall be your inheritance Z for you Barbara we're

22
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:40,360
leaving Barbara come on Microsoft held its annual ignite

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:44,880
event today and announced yet another generative AI thing called co-pilot but

24
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,719
at least the company is owning it now corporate vice president Jared SPO joked

25
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,520
about Microsoft's questionable history of choosing marketing names for new

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,880
products while discussing Microsoft's decision as of today to stop trying to

27
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:04,320
make fetch happen and Rebrand Bing chat to co-pilot in bing did they ask Bing

28
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,520
whether they could put a co-pilot in it I we don't know it's definitely better

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,360
branding or it would be if Microsoft hadn't called a dozen other products

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:18,360
co-pilot already like George Foreman naming his five Sons George Foreman 2

31
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,760
through six and his daughter

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,599
Georgette there will also be a co-pilot assistant in Microsoft Loop the notion

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,360
likee productivity web app and who knows how many other places thanks to the new

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,680
co-pilot Studio which will allow users to build their own custom AI co-pilots

35
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,760
just like open ai's recently announced gpts believe it or not there's some non

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:44,879
co-pilot news too Microsoft hopes to reduce its Reliance on NVIDIA with their

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:47,519
new custom ARM-based Azure Maya 100 and

38
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,519
Cobalt 100 server processors I'm doing quotes when I say custom because they're

39
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:57,040
no apple silicon but they do appear to be a bit more custom than the company's

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:02,239
sq1 and sq2 surface chips that were basically Snapdragon hxs with a hat and

41
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:04,040
sunglasses is on finally Microsoft mesh

42
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,920
its mixed reality platform will be integrated into teams allowing for

43
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,920
virtual meetings in AI generated 3D spaces eventually with personalized

44
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:16,959
avatars none of which appear to have legs that kind of advanced Tech is

45
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,680
apparently still well beyond us have they rolled out on the meta platform yet

46
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,280
I don't think they have I'm sorry we cannot rebuild you we

47
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:31,040
do not have the technology the FBI is struggling to address a small

48
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,400
decentralized cyber crime gang known as scattered spider that's been hitting

49
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:38,840
corporations throughout the United States for the last 2 years according to

50
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,560
cyber Security Experts who were probably all former teen hackers themselves I

51
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:47,480
mean come on guys you hack the planet remember that was you scattered spider

52
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:51,680
most notoriously hacked Casino operators MGM International and Caesar's

53
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:56,519
entertainment back in September but they also hit telecoms healthc care firms

54
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:01,439
financial service companies and rival gang disoriented dragonfly I'm scared of

55
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:04,879
uh rank in Ling the non-existent gang that we just made up the FBI has

56
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:08,640
apparently known the identities of at least a dozen members of this group for

57
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,840
over half a year but none have been arrested despite living in the US and

58
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:17,519
causing millions in Damages some have blamed this lack of action on unequal

59
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:21,759
lack of Manpower the FBI having lost many of its best agents to the private

60
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,759
sector victims have likewise typically been hesitant to inform law enforcement

61
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,240
when they've been compromised no doubt partly from embarrassment over being

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,840
hacked by a gaggle of teenagers taking advantage of long known and neglectfully

63
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,320
unpatched vulnerabilities in software relied on by corporations around the

64
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,800
world another favorite Target of these groups is critical infrastructure and

65
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:46,919
information dense targets like hospitals just this week McLaren a healthcare

66
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,160
nonprofit in Michigan notified 2.2

67
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:53,080
million clients of a data breach that exposed names birth dates Social

68
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Security numbers and extensive amounts of sensitive medical information just

69
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,400
the kind of Ruthless Behavior we should expect from hardened cyber criminals

70
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:06,800
with underdeveloped amygdalas in a diet of pizza and energy drinks mom where are

71
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,800
my chicken strips I'm destroying the

72
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,320
government you do not want to cross these guys now it's time for quick pits

73
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:16,919
brought to you by War Thunder the free-to-play vehicular combat game that

74
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:23,120
emphasizes historical accuracy there's well over 2,000 different Vehicles you

75
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:25,440
can pilot into combat planes tanks boats

76
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:29,680
goats actually there's no goats except for the goat War Thunder the game's

77
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:33,840
in-depth customization allows you to to modify your vehicles to suit any battle

80
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,400
too enjoy them champ a warning to our

81
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:47,720
more sensitive viewers the following bits are exceptionally quick you're

82
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:53,240
going to want to strap the in for these in a recent blog post meta's Global head

83
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,639
of safety Antony Davis argued that App

84
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,120
Stores should be charged with enacting age verification and parental consent

85
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:03,800
controls for social media this would make implementation of guard rails to

86
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,479
protect children more intuitive and consistent across legal jurisdictions

87
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:12,400
but it also has the advantage of making it no longer meta's responsibility meta

88
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,680
alongside several other social media companies is facing a mountain of

89
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:21,240
lawsuits for damages to Miners and they think it would be just awesome if maybe

90
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:25,319
somebody else had to deal with all this but even if meta's reasons are obviously

91
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,680
self-serving that doesn't necessarily make it a bad idea the worst person you

92
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,440
know just made a great point it doesn't feel good the department of justice has

93
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:37,440
joined an investigation of an ongoing controversy in the aviation industry

94
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:42,560
where thousands of uncertified used engine parts were refurbished and sold

95
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:47,000
using forged documents that hid the actual age and history of the parts the

96
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,840
issue was first publicly revealed by a Bloomberg report in late August after

97
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:55,039
maintenance workers in Europe started flagging inconsistencies with repair

98
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:58,680
parts Airlines conducted a panicked audit of their planes to find which had

99
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,479
falsified parts and remove them from service and now AOG Technics a

100
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:09,240
london-based parts distributor is under investigation for alleged forgery and

101
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,599
fraud my advice to AOG say you picked up

102
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,919
the bad parts after they fell off the back of a truck works every time it's so

103
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:19,440
terrifying they're just trying to recycle We are the world Google has

104
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:25,000
launched a lawsuit against 22 people it says weaponize the dmca by creating at

105
00:07:22,599 --> 00:07:28,759
least 65 Google accounts so they could submit thousands of fraudulent notices

106
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,240
of copyright infringement against more than 100 17,000 thirdparty website URLs

107
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:38,039
20 of the defendants are not identified but the two that are identified in the

108
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,960
suit appear to be involved in selling printed T-shirts online and were

109
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,720
allegedly motivated by a desire to get their competitors removed from Google

110
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,720
search results resulting in millions of dollars in Lost revenue for both the

111
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:55,039
target companies and Google the notices were filed under a variety of fake names

112
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:57,240
including Amazon NBC News Elon Musk and

113
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:00,960
Lavar Burton of Star Trek and Reading Rainbow Fame things at red bubble

114
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,919
getting rough those are those are all real names people were more likely to

115
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:10,759
perceive AI generated human faces as real than actual photos of human faces

116
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,199
especially when the subject of the photo was white according to a peer-reviewed

117
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:19,280
study published in psychological science which calls attention once again to the

118
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,800
problem of AIS being trained on image data sets with disproportionately more

119
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:28,680
white faces the studies's authors call this phenomenon of thinking the fake

120
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:32,880
thing looks more real hyper realism but I don't know if we should put much stock

121
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,039
in it I mean like like I know I look like an AI generated image of a generic

122
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:41,519
white guy but you guys know I'm real right

123
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:43,800
right an EV company rivan sent out an

124
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:48,160
over-the-air update that soft bricked infotainment systems of any rivan

125
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:52,920
vehicles that installed it turns out the company sent out the wrong update build

126
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:58,760
and the wrong security certificates in a public statement rivan blamed the error

127
00:08:54,839 --> 00:09:00,519
on a fat finger which I absolutely love

128
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:05,720
presumably because instead of pushing the convenient fix cars button Ronald

129
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,480
rivan chief of cars work good accidentally pressed the big and red

130
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:14,560
break all cars button anyone could have made that mistake right next to each

131
00:09:11,959 --> 00:09:19,920
other what it's the literal meme first all I think we should stop fat shaming

132
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:23,839
fingers just like how you'd be making a mistake by not coming back on Friday for

133
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:28,120
more Tech news that sounds like a threat but it's it's it's really not you you're

134
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:32,240
going to be fine either way but you better come back
