I'd tell you to go see the bug report yourself, but it's been deactivated, probably to stay consistent with what Google does to most of their products. This lines up with what Google executives have been saying openly since last year. Chrome OS and Android are being merged into a single platform. As Riley pointed out in his ShortCircuit video on the Samsung Tab S1 Ultra, big Android tablets already are laptops in a sense, but their desktop functionality is limited. So, the obvious thing to do is to combine Android with another very limited OS, and together they'll make one full desktop. >> That's math for you. >> Maths in the UK. >> A landmark social media addiction lawsuit will soon head to trial, marking the first time social platforms have had to convince a jury they aren't liable for harming kids. A mere 20 years after those platforms probably started harming kids. The lawsuit's 19-year-old plaintiff claims that platform features like infinite scroll and autoplay triggered depression, anxiety, and self harm. Unlike previous social media lawsuits, this one is not focused on the impact of the content itself, which platforms are not liable for, but on how the platforms were engineered to be addictive. In a show of confidence about their innocence, both Snapchat and Tik Tok settled with the plaintiff out of court with Tik Tok getting their settlement in yesterday, just a few hours before jury selection started. They would have gotten in sooner, but they saw a video of someone making a funnel cake and got lost in the scroll for 7 hours. That happens to the best of us >> and then got depressed. >> Meta and YouTube, on the other hand, never afraid to slug it out with the little guy, are taking this to trial. Despite Meta's prospects for the suit not looking so hot, unsealed internal documents have shown Meta employees messaging one another about the addictive nature of Instagram, with one commenting that IG is a drug and another saying, \"We're basically pushers. Those people got bad attitudes and got canned.\" Internal emails also show that Mark Zuckerberg made getting teens locked into Meta's apps a top strategic priority right behind buying big chains with an email from 2016 stating that Mark has decided that the top priority for the company in 2017 is teens. Very Epstein of him. An open source AI assistant called Moldbot, formerly Claudebot, has crossed 80,000 GitHub stars, making it one of the fastest growing AI projects of 2026 already. It lets you run a personal AI assistant on your own hardware and control it through messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or Slack. People are comparing it to Jarvis from Iron Man, using it to manage their calendar, send emails, book reservations, and even write code. That's how dad did it. That's how America does it. And it's working out pretty good so far. Except maybe it's not, as security experts have started sounding alarms about Moltbot's security vulnerabilities. Heather Atkins, VP of security engineering at Google Cloud, posted a warning not to run Moltbot as it appears to be massively vulnerable to prompt injection attacks in which an attacker can feed hidden instructions to the victim's AI assistant. Also, it's not owned by Google. So, use Gemini. Rachel Tobac, CEO of Social Proof Security, explained that if you're autonomous AI agent is reading all your messages and has admin access to your computer, then someone can hijack your computer with a simple DM. But it gets worse. Moltbot is connected to the internet in many different ways, allowing security researcher Jameson O'Reilly, what is this? To find hundreds of exposed Moltbot instances on the web, with some allowing unauthenticated access to private messages, credentials, and API keys. He also demonstrated a supply chain attack through Claude Hub, Moldbot's skills library. He uploaded a proof of concept malicious skill, artificially inflated the download count to over 4,000 to look more legit, and watched as developers from seven countries downloaded it. The skill was benign, but O'Reilly said he could have exfiltrated SSH keys, AWS credentials, and entire code bases. Moldbot's own documentation acknowledges the risk, stating, \"Running an AI agent with shell access on your machine is spicy.\" Really? They actually wrote that? Yeah, >> that's verbatim. >> And who can argue with that? Handing rude access to a hallucinating robot prone to being compromised by simple text messages is my fourth favorite spice, right after Perry Perry, Montreal Steak, and our sponsor Squarespace.

Samsung revealed their Galaxy Z trifold phone is going to cost $2,900. Do you want me to sit here and cry about it or do you want some real quick bits? >> Come on. >> You want them? Intel just switched on XSS3 multi-frame generation in new drivers, letting Arc GPUs and Core Ultra iGPUs generate 2x, 3x, or 4x the frames across any game that already supports XESS2. The best part, if a game already supports the second generation tech, developers, developers, developers don't need to release updates for the new one to work. You just got to turn it on in the Intel control panel. I know what you're thinking. XSS spelled backwards is SE X. And now you can do it three times with your iGPU. It's time to boogie down, boys. Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, Tes, you know, sexy. >> Yeah, >> Elon did it first. NVIDIA finally did it, folks. China has reportedly approved initial purchases of NVIDIA's H200 AI chips by Bite Dance, Alibaba, and Tencent, covering more than 400,000 chips. After a year of Uncle Sam saying no, China saying please and Uncle Sam saying, \"Well, okay, since he asked nicely, and then China saying no once they actually got permission.\" Apparently, all it took was a visit from the great one, Jensen Huang himself. Sorry, Gretzky. Maybe he gave Xiinping the skinny on where to get those sick leather jackets. I guess we'll find out at the next press conference. >> Xiinping's press conference comes out leather. >> Actually, leather assless chaps. Sparks fly stone cold Steve Austin beer. >> This is how you get social credits. Iran is planning to permanently cut itself off from the global internet, sending a virtual fist bump to North Korea. After 20 days of near total blackout during widespread protests and by all accounts a hideously violent response by authorities, the government is now implementing what digital rights group Filter Watch calls absolute digital isolation. Instead of lifting the shutdown, they're building a whitelisting system where 90 million Iranians can only access approved domestic sites while security vetted elites get access to the outside world. Our porn, our awesome sunglasses. Even worse, VPNs won't help because new deep packet inspection updates are specifically designed to fingerprint VPN and Starlink traffic. A government spokesperson who's probably evil confirmed international access will never return to its previous form. Except of course in the offices of Supreme Leader Ali Kmeni. Reports say when he's not hurrying to the little Ayatollah's room, he's compulsively doomscrolling thirst trap posts on Tumblr. >> We this this is we have it on good authority. >> Amazon accidentally tipped its hand on planned layoffs after an internal AWS email went out way too early. The message sent by senior VP Colleen Aubrey scheduled a Wednesday meeting titled Project Dawn, which then promptly got cancelled. The email claimed impacted colleagues in the US Canada Costa Rica had already been notified. And referenced a follow-up note from HR Chief Beth Galleti that awkwardly never appeared. Aubrey wrote, \"Changes like this are hard on everyone. Still, considering Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins says that the real risk of losing your job comes from someone who's very good at using AI, maybe this was AI's way of proving that it can do stuff on its own. Just get it over with. Fire them already. And figure just dropped new footage of its Helix 2 humanoid robot calmly putting away dishes. And somehow that is way more unsettling than it should be. The video shows some serious fine motor control. Hip bumping a drawer closed and using its foot to close the dishwasher, showing it's got the dexterity to complete chores with style and to murder you. >> Not both. >> I mean, at least it's actually useful, unlike those other robots who can't stop doing karate and air flips. Meanwhile, Fondo Robotics went the opposite direction with Sprout, a small, wildly little guy who's actually designed to be cute and emotionally disarming. Why can't we give that one the knife? That one seems like a much safer option. Or at least >> we feel better. >> I could be like you too Brutus. >> But the best option would obviously be for you guys to come back tomorrow for more get I mean back on Friday for more tech news. I think that's right."}
