00:00:00,299 --> 00:00:08,099
this episode's not like the other ones it's a little bit quirky let's let's

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:10,940
just say it never quite fit in it's

3
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:10,940
doing its own thing

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,640
Microsoft's latest attempt to convince the world's Regulators that its proposed

5
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:21,539
acquisition of Activision Blizzard would be totally fine

6
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:26,279
is by forming a fellow alliance with Nintendo and NVIDIA to battle the forces

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,480
of antitrust and frankly embarrassed its console Nemesis Sony the Microsoft

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,340
NVIDIA and grieving will introduce Microsoft games to the GeForce cloud

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,540
service including Call of Duty depending on the outcome of the Activision

10
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:43,620
acquisition this is great word play a similar 10-year deal will make Call of

11
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:48,120
Duty games available on Nintendo devices no word yet on whether soap McTavish

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:51,539
will be added to the Super Smash Bros roster or if it'll be able to run on

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,260
switch here's hoping though Sony rejected basically the same deal when it

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,739
was offered by Microsoft and I can't imagine that seeing other industry

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,480
players gain access to Microsoft's cool clubhouse would feel very nice for any

16
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:07,560
giant Tech Corporation to make matters worse though for Sony the communication

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,060
workers of America a major video game labor union has added their support to

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,760
the deal in return for a pledge of neutrality from Microsoft toward future

19
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:20,759
unionization they promise what what Sony

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:26,159
you don't care about workers right more like workstation am I right you said it

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,479
speaking of Activision they recently confirmed that they suffered a major

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,220
data breach resulting in the theft of employee data and their release schedule

23
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:40,500
back in December law enforcement's Prime Suspect now is a furry green man wearing

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,880
red what the Grinch the company with the dog the breach was apparently caused by

25
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:48,720
a successful SMS phishing scam that gave the hacker privilege access to

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Activision's internal Network Activision stress is no sensitive employee data

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,140
game code or player data was accessed which doesn't explain why they didn't

28
00:01:55,619 --> 00:02:02,579
notify the public or their own employees in fact Activision only announced that

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,060
the breach occurred after a cyber security research group posted

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,560
screenshots of the stolen data to Twitter which apparently came as a shock

31
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,800
to many within Activision the hacker was able to access spreadsheets including

32
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:18,720
the names phone numbers email address and work addresses of employees which

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,780
doesn't meet the strict legal definition of sensitive data in California it like

34
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:28,739
saying hey I didn't post your nudes just this picture of you in beige underwear

35
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:33,000
that happens to be skin tight and we like the Bulge

36
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:37,860
it's my favorite battle we love it a bulge a large international law firm

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Allen and Avery that's real has partnered with open AI to test an AI

38
00:02:40,379 --> 00:02:46,200
model specifically designed for legal work the tool is called Harvey

39
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:52,319
presumably named after other prominent Harvey's in the legal profession such as

40
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:54,180
Specter Birdman or Dent Harvey was

41
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,560
trained on an extensive database of legal knowledge and the firm began to a

42
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:02,459
trial run with open AI back in September now though they're expanding their use

43
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:07,019
of Harvey at a time when many other firms are looking to get into the AI

44
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:11,819
craze as well unlike previous attempts at an AI lawyer Harvey is not giving

45
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:16,319
advice to clients rather it's being used as a tool to increase the efficiency of

46
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:21,180
existing employees by answering simple legal questions and drafting messages to

47
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:24,420
clients as well as documents areas of law like contracts and license

48
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:29,040
generation tend to be highly predictable and typically use standardized though

49
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:33,060
hard to read language meaning they're an obvious use case for AI generated text

50
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,080
so long as it's thoroughly checked by a professional apparently Harvey performs

51
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:40,620
well at General legal tasks but struggles in more Niche areas of

52
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,879
knowledge and the firm is warning clients about the possibility of AI

53
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:51,900
hallucinations otherwise known as making stuff up or Saul goodmaning good man ing

54
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,159
it's all good man all right now it's

55
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:59,640
time for the quick bits brought to you by jackery whether you're looking to make margaritas on the beach baby living

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:04,440
that bad life son or preparing to leave civilization behind their solar

57
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:09,239
generator 1500 pro has all the juice you need to keep your device energized since

58
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:13,620
it's massive 1500 watt hour capacity allows up to seven devices to be plugged

59
00:04:11,099 --> 00:04:18,120
in simultaneously or pair your power station with an array of jackery solar

60
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:23,040
Saga 200 watt solar panels for a full charge in as little as two hours check

61
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,360
out the jackery SG 1500 Pro and get 10 off all jackery products at the link

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,199
below ever wonder why there's always exactly five quick bits

63
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:35,460
well me too don't tell me anything the

64
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:39,300
heavily hyped game atomic heart has launched without support for Ray tracing

65
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:44,699
odd seeing as it was predominantly featured in several NVIDIA RTX showcases

66
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:49,440
and Mund fish Atomic Hearts developer made no announcement that Ray tracing

67
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:54,000
would be removed stay with me more like atomic fart

68
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:57,360
this would seem to be at odds with accusations from the Ukrainian

69
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,580
government that the game was funded by oil Giant Gas prom if you're funded by

70
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,479
Russian oligarchs you 100 have Ray tracing money

71
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,560
come on Samsung has updated its Voice Assistant Bixby which apparently still

72
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:16,139
exists to answer calls on behalf of users possibly in their own voice Bixby

73
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:20,280
can clone a user's voice from just a few samples so if you're unable to take a

74
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:24,600
quick call you can just send a quick text instead which Bixby will read out

75
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,039
in your voice word of warning though your mom might just decide she likes

76
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,160
this new robot you that always answers her calls better than the Flesh and

77
00:05:30,539 --> 00:05:37,560
Blood version and there's one thing I know it's your mom e Apple has just

78
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:44,100
ordered the entire stock of tsmc's first gen three nanometer chips for its

79
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:45,479
upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Max the

80
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:50,460
most important of all the upcoming devices according to Apple anyway

81
00:05:47,539 --> 00:05:54,720
Intel's 15th gen Aero Lake processors were supposed to launch in the third

82
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:59,639
quarter of next year using tsmc's three nanometer process for their gpus

83
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,080
but based on delays and Intel's orders from tsmc Arrow Lakes launch will likely

84
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:09,360
be delayed into the first quarter of 2025 but hey we'll all be dead anyway I

85
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,620
used to be a chip manufacturer too but then I took an aero link to the knee

86
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:18,360
Rovio the game developer famous for the wildly popular mobile game Angry Birds I

87
00:06:16,259 --> 00:06:22,440
love that one has announced they will be pulling the original Angry Birds from

88
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:27,539
Mobile stores their stated rationale is The Game's impact on their wider games

89
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:31,560
portfolio likely a reference to the fact that their other titles are free to play

90
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:35,460
games meant to suck players dry through microtransactions while the original

91
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:39,539
Angry Birds was a game you bought and owned for a dollar after which it would

92
00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:44,220
never again ask you for money unlike most of your relatives speaking

93
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:48,000
of do you have like five bucks I wish I had a Tony to look at you hey

94
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:52,259
you know how Twitter tried to turn the blue check mark into an eight dollar

95
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:55,620
status symbol well Tumblr a social media platform that does still exist I'm

96
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,979
assured decided it would be funny to sell what they called important blue

97
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:02,639
internet check marks for a single payment of four dollars a decision that

98
00:07:00,780 --> 00:07:06,479
has apparently increased tumblr's iOS revenue from in-app purchases by 125

99
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:11,880
percent which at the end of these was probably a pretty low bar totally makes up for the

100
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,199
porn loss right officially the check marks do nothing and are simply to show

101
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:22,199
that you are an important person on the internet users can buy as many as they want and

102
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,699
even give them to other people warning important blue internet check marks May

103
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,300
on occasion turn into crabs in a process called carsonization you can get it from

104
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:34,380
a toilet seat and you can give other people the gift of tech news if you tell

105
00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:37,199
them to watch on Friday possibly from a toilet seat

106
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:41,780
we'll have laughs but you can't play Angry Birds anymore on there yeah oh

107
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,780
it's over bye
