1
00:00:00,919 --> 00:00:07,600
hey um the uh the tech news is coming up

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:14,040
soon and I and I thought you know if you're not going to get it from anyone

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:16,800
else maybe I could present it to you I I

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:22,119
I'm sorry I'm I'm being so stupid I just you you

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,480
wouldn't unless Microsoft suffered a

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:30,640
global outage yesterday affecting access to many Microsoft 365 Services according

7
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:34,480
to the BBC even access to mind craft was affected and Xbox Live actually

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:40,399
unfortunately Microsoft stated during the outage that teams was not affected

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,000
so close meaning that app continues to barely function by Design the company

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:50,440
also determined that the outage was due to a Dos attack on its Azure Cloud

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,399
platform the attack then activated dos protection mechanisms which due to an

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:01:00,160
error in implementation made the attack worse great job Microsoft what is going

13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,799
on over there this incident comes less than 2 weeks after global infrastructure

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,479
was knocked out by a faulty software update from cyber security firm crowd

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:14,080
strike many businesses are still dealing with the Fallout from that outage the

16
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:18,920
CEO of us-based Delta Airlines may be seeking damages of 500 million dollars

17
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,079
from crowd strike and Microsoft after being forced to ground thousands of

18
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:27,119
flights and reimburse affected passengers for food and overnight hotel

19
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,920
stays that's a lot of money that Microsoft could be using to continue

20
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:36,079
paying the best Engineers for their worst work there's been a lot of

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,960
developments around deep fakes recently Google announced it is updating their

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,439
search algorithm to better handle explicit AI deep fakes the changes will

23
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:49,040
make it easier to remove deep fakes at scale and will penalize sites that host

24
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:53,079
such content by demoting them in search rankings because the easiest way to hide

25
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,799
non-consensual imagery is to place it on Google searches second page on top of

26
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:03,560
that the US Senate has introduced a bill for the no fakes Act which is meant to

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,920
protect artists from AI deep fakes while

28
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:09,080
some like artists like the bill others

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:13,959
are worried the bill is overly Broad and could allow for misuse meanwhile last

30
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:18,239
week the Senate unanimously passed the Defiance act which allows victims of

31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,040
non-consensual explicit deep fakes to sue individuals who knowingly produce

32
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:26,640
distribute or receive those images but that's not enough the US government

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,480
needs to crack down on AI deep fakes that are used for fraud and manipulation

34
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,760
says Microsoft the company that arguably had a major role in making AI deep fake

35
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,640
fraud so accessible guys you need to solve this problem I ca AI search

36
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:45,040
company perplexity has announced they will be sharing Revenue with Publishers

37
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:49,720
whose content shows up in perplexity AI generated answers this comes a month

38
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,400
after perplexity got in trouble for plagiarizing content for multiple

39
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,959
Publishers so while this Revenue share may sound like a step in the right

40
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,640
direction I'm not sure perplexity will be able to pay its sources when it's

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,879
been failing to disclose where its answers even come from we just handed

42
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,400
out some money to people I don't know who they were aside from dodging

43
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:12,080
plagiarism accusations there may be another reason perplexity decided to

44
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:17,159
offer a revenue sharing deal openingi launch of their own AI powered Search

45
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,000
tool search GPT last week on top of that

46
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:22,799
Reddit is now blocking every search engine but Google's after making a deal

47
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:27,200
with the search giant according to Reddit CEO Steve Huffman search GPT will

48
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:31,640
be able to show results from the site thanks to a similar deal but Huffman

49
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:35,159
called out perplexity for refusing to pay to access reddit's data

50
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:40,040
unfortunately that means perplexity users will have to miss out on Treasures

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,840
like a factually accurate 1,000-word comment about 18th century wheat

52
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:50,159
agriculture written by someone called Ned the nip Hunter and that's not a real

53
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:56,760
example but it could be we made it up but I would never make

54
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,840
up our sponsor magic spoon put a spell

55
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:04,680
on your taste buds with magic spoon's health conscious yet wickedly tasty

to 14 grams of protein and only four to five net Gams of carbs per serving

58
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:17,840
that's absolute sorcery and their familiar flavors like Fruity and frosted

00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:22,560
will leave you Enchanted follow the link below conjure up a magic spoon variety

00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:38,080
H AMD has launched its new ryzen 5000

63
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,160
desktop processors the ryzen 9 5900 XT

64
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,720
and ryzen 75800 XT now available at

65
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:49,120
retailers unfortunately for AMD some us retailers also listed the not yet

66
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,000
launched ryzen 9000 series of CPUs leaking the prices fortunately for

67
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:59,320
consumers it looks like the new Chips will cost up to $100 less at launch than

68
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,039
the current ryzen 7000 series did

69
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,240
There's so many series going on right now what are you doing AMD meanwhile

70
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,199
Intel who apparently spent two chip Generations selling broken CPUs has

71
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:14,639
announced their lunar Lake laptop CPUs will launch on September 3rd at this

72
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:18,759
point I'll consider lunar Lake a success if the chips don't burst into flame

73
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:23,880
let's just go for that Amazon has been forced to recall over

74
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:28,440
400,000 products the US consumer product safety commission determined that Amazon

75
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,000
is legally responsible for the defective products of third party Sellers and that

76
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,400
the platform failed to alert hundreds of thousands of customers to these serious

77
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,039
risks those unsafe products include hair dryers without electrocution protection

78
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,720
faulty carbon monoxide detectors and children's pajamas that violate Federal

79
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:52,960
flammability standards turns out Amazon's delivery network is so vast

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,960
they offer same day shipping to the

81
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:02,199
afterlife meta has agreed to settle a privacy lawsuit with the state of Texas

82
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:04,319
for a massive one $ 1.4 billion the

83
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:09,479
lawsuit was filed 2 years ago and alleged meta was using Facebook users

84
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:14,240
biometric data without permission to power the tag suggestions feature the

85
00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:18,199
platform introduced way back in 2011 you'd think meta would learn to stay on

86
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:22,160
the right side of the law since then but an investigative report by The Wall

87
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,479
Street Journal claims hundreds of ads for illegal drug marketplaces have

88
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:30,080
appeared on Instagram and Facebook ads like this are dangerous to the

89
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,759
impressionable users of Instagram and perhaps insulting to the Bots that still

90
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,479
use Facebook they can't even do drugs Google is taking heat for a recent

91
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:44,599
Olympics tie in ad where a father gets the Gemini AI assistant to generate a

92
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,120
draft of a letter from his daughter to an athlete she admires now there's

93
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,520
nothing wrong with taking a pre-written draft and personalizing it to fit your

94
00:06:50,919 --> 00:06:56,840
needs but there is something ever so slightly icky about putting something as

95
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:02,599
innocent and authentic as a child's letter to their celebrity hero through

96
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,319
the same process what would the AI say

97
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:08,360
let's find out what would the AI say for my daughter maybe this fictional little

98
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:13,080
girl will one day be a skilled athlete herself but it'd be great if she also

99
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,680
had some baseline literacy so that she doesn't have to sign documents with an

100
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,800
ex like a medieval peasant and are you an awkward loner with a hundred bucks

101
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:26,400
just lying around well good news there's a new high-tech wearable just for you

102
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,000
it's an AI conversation bot called

103
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:33,360
friend it takes the form of a large extreme noticeable necklace that listens

104
00:07:31,479 --> 00:07:38,520
and comments on everything happening around you which is guaranteed to make

105
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,599
other humans deeply uncomfortable I just

106
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:46,960
kind of like to come up here to be by myself I've never brought anybody else I

107
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:48,360
mean besides her she goes everywhere

108
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,960
with you right mhm friend the company behind friend

109
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:59,080
reportedly raised 2.5 million from investors the company then apparently

110
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:03,680
used 1.8 million of those dollars just to the domain name friend.com which

111
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:08,720
sounds like a great way to lose a bunch of friends but for just $99 you can get

112
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:12,800
them back but you won't lose a single friend by coming back on Friday for more

113
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:15,800
Tech news hey if you're watching with someone else
