00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.799
Tech news is an important part of a balanced breakfast sadly it only gets

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:12.000
delivered in the late evening Pacific time nothing will bring iMessage to

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:15.280
Android which is so cool it almost makes me less upset at being forced to write

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.640
puns every time we report on this freaking company why did you do this

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.439
that's right nothing the company founded by OnePlus co-founder Carl pay has

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:28.560
announced nothing chats an app that will make a message from an Android phone

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:34.280
show up as the coveted blue bubble on iPhones because nothing believes in

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:36.440
Windows not walls I mean sure nothing

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

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:44.200
they supposed to do live in a gazebo the app is a collaboration with Sunbird one

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:49.440
of a few different companies providing iMessage to Android bridging services in

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:53.399
beta Marquez Brown Lee asked nothing how it works and they confirmed that they're

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.600
literally routing Android messages through a Mac on a server Farm somewhere

00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:02.160
which is wild but at least it seems less pathetic than Google taking out ads to

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.200
complain that Apple won't be nice to them you should let me have the blue

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.479
bubbl guys are they're hogging all the blue bubbles features like group chats

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.320
typing indicators voice notes and sending photos that don't look like they

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.840
were spat on by Tim Cook during Transit are working now while read receipts and

00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:24.520
message reactions are coming soon the only question now is what will Apple do

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:30.439
Tim won't take this lying down insolent worm you have trespassed and incurred my

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.600
wrath Agony and despair shall be your inheritance Z for you Barbara we're

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:40.360
leaving Barbara come on Microsoft held its annual ignite

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.880
event today and announced yet another generative AI thing called co-pilot but

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:49.719
at least the company is owning it now corporate vice president Jared SPO joked

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.520
about Microsoft's questionable history of choosing marketing names for new

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.880
products while discussing Microsoft's decision as of today to stop trying to

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:04.320
make fetch happen and Rebrand Bing chat to co-pilot in bing did they ask Bing

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

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.360
branding or it would be if Microsoft hadn't called a dozen other products

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:18.360
co-pilot already like George Foreman naming his five Sons George Foreman 2

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:20.760
through six and his daughter

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:25.599
Georgette there will also be a co-pilot assistant in Microsoft Loop the notion

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.360
likee productivity web app and who knows how many other places thanks to the new

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.680
co-pilot Studio which will allow users to build their own custom AI co-pilots

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:38.760
just like open ai's recently announced gpts believe it or not there's some non

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:44.879
co-pilot news too Microsoft hopes to reduce its Reliance on NVIDIA with their

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.519
new custom ARM-based Azure Maya 100 and

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.519
Cobalt 100 server processors I'm doing quotes when I say custom because they're

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

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:02.239
sq1 and sq2 surface chips that were basically Snapdragon hxs with a hat and

00:02:59.239 --> 00:03:04.040
sunglasses is on finally Microsoft mesh

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.920
its mixed reality platform will be integrated into teams allowing for

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:12.920
virtual meetings in AI generated 3D spaces eventually with personalized

00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:16.959
avatars none of which appear to have legs that kind of advanced Tech is

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.680
apparently still well beyond us have they rolled out on the meta platform yet

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:26.280
I don't think they have I'm sorry we cannot rebuild you we

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:31.040
do not have the technology the FBI is struggling to address a small

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.400
decentralized cyber crime gang known as scattered spider that's been hitting

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:38.840
corporations throughout the United States for the last 2 years according to

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.560
cyber Security Experts who were probably all former teen hackers themselves I

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:47.480
mean come on guys you hack the planet remember that was you scattered spider

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.680
most notoriously hacked Casino operators MGM International and Caesar's

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:56.519
entertainment back in September but they also hit telecoms healthc care firms

00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:01.439
financial service companies and rival gang disoriented dragonfly I'm scared of

00:03:59.239 --> 00:04:04.879
uh rank in Ling the non-existent gang that we just made up the FBI has

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:08.640
apparently known the identities of at least a dozen members of this group for

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:12.840
over half a year but none have been arrested despite living in the US and

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:17.519
causing millions in Damages some have blamed this lack of action on unequal

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:21.759
lack of Manpower the FBI having lost many of its best agents to the private

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:25.759
sector victims have likewise typically been hesitant to inform law enforcement

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:29.240
when they've been compromised no doubt partly from embarrassment over being

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.840
hacked by a gaggle of teenagers taking advantage of long known and neglectfully

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:37.320
unpatched vulnerabilities in software relied on by corporations around the

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:41.800
world another favorite Target of these groups is critical infrastructure and

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:46.919
information dense targets like hospitals just this week McLaren a healthcare

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.160
nonprofit in Michigan notified 2.2

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:53.080
million clients of a data breach that exposed names birth dates Social

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.320
Security numbers and extensive amounts of sensitive medical information just

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.400
the kind of Ruthless Behavior we should expect from hardened cyber criminals

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:06.800
with underdeveloped amygdalas in a diet of pizza and energy drinks mom where are

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.800
my chicken strips I'm destroying the

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.320
government you do not want to cross these guys now it's time for quick pits

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:16.919
brought to you by War Thunder the free-to-play vehicular combat game that

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:23.120
emphasizes historical accuracy there's well over 2,000 different Vehicles you

00:05:18.919 --> 00:05:25.440
can pilot into combat planes tanks boats

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.680
goats actually there's no goats except for the goat War Thunder the game's

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.840
in-depth customization allows you to to modify your vehicles to suit any battle

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.080
because you deserve to have the tank you always wanted sport click the link below

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:43.039
to start playing on PC PlayStation and Xbox and you'll get some extra goodies

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:44.400
too enjoy them champ a warning to our

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:47.720
more sensitive viewers the following bits are exceptionally quick you're

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

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.639
of safety Antony Davis argued that App

00:05:53.240 --> 00:06:00.120
Stores should be charged with enacting age verification and parental consent

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.800
controls for social media this would make implementation of guard rails to

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.479
protect children more intuitive and consistent across legal jurisdictions

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:12.400
but it also has the advantage of making it no longer meta's responsibility meta

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.680
alongside several other social media companies is facing a mountain of

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:21.240
lawsuits for damages to Miners and they think it would be just awesome if maybe

00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:25.319
somebody else had to deal with all this but even if meta's reasons are obviously

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.680
self-serving that doesn't necessarily make it a bad idea the worst person you

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.440
know just made a great point it doesn't feel good the department of justice has

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:37.440
joined an investigation of an ongoing controversy in the aviation industry

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:42.560
where thousands of uncertified used engine parts were refurbished and sold

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:47.000
using forged documents that hid the actual age and history of the parts the

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:50.840
issue was first publicly revealed by a Bloomberg report in late August after

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:55.039
maintenance workers in Europe started flagging inconsistencies with repair

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:58.680
parts Airlines conducted a panicked audit of their planes to find which had

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:03.479
falsified parts and remove them from service and now AOG Technics a

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:09.240
london-based parts distributor is under investigation for alleged forgery and

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.599
fraud my advice to AOG say you picked up

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

00:07:12.840 --> 00:07:19.440
terrifying they're just trying to recycle We are the world Google has

00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:25.000
launched a lawsuit against 22 people it says weaponize the dmca by creating at

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:28.759
least 65 Google accounts so they could submit thousands of fraudulent notices

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:34.240
of copyright infringement against more than 100 17,000 thirdparty website URLs

00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:38.039
20 of the defendants are not identified but the two that are identified in the

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.960
suit appear to be involved in selling printed T-shirts online and were

00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:45.720
allegedly motivated by a desire to get their competitors removed from Google

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.720
search results resulting in millions of dollars in Lost revenue for both the

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:55.039
target companies and Google the notices were filed under a variety of fake names

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:57.240
including Amazon NBC News Elon Musk and

00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:00.960
Lavar Burton of Star Trek and Reading Rainbow Fame things at red bubble

00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:05.919
getting rough those are those are all real names people were more likely to

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:10.759
perceive AI generated human faces as real than actual photos of human faces

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.199
especially when the subject of the photo was white according to a peer-reviewed

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.280
study published in psychological science which calls attention once again to the

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:23.800
problem of AIS being trained on image data sets with disproportionately more

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:28.680
white faces the studies's authors call this phenomenon of thinking the fake

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

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

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:41.519
white guy but you guys know I'm real right

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:43.800
right an EV company rivan sent out an

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:48.160
over-the-air update that soft bricked infotainment systems of any rivan

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:52.920
vehicles that installed it turns out the company sent out the wrong update build

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:58.760
and the wrong security certificates in a public statement rivan blamed the error

00:08:54.839 --> 00:09:00.519
on a fat finger which I absolutely love

00:08:58.760 --> 00:09:05.720
presumably because instead of pushing the convenient fix cars button Ronald

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:10.480
rivan chief of cars work good accidentally pressed the big and red

00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:14.560
break all cars button anyone could have made that mistake right next to each

00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:19.920
other what it's the literal meme first all I think we should stop fat shaming

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

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

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:32.240
going to be fine either way but you better come back
