WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:10.940 just say it never quite fit in it's 00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:10.940 doing its own thing 00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:17.640 Microsoft's latest attempt to convince the world's Regulators that its proposed 00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:21.539 acquisition of Activision Blizzard would be totally fine 00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:26.279 is by forming a fellow alliance with Nintendo and NVIDIA to battle the forces 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:30.480 of antitrust and frankly embarrassed its console Nemesis Sony the Microsoft 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.340 NVIDIA and grieving will introduce Microsoft games to the GeForce cloud 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.540 service including Call of Duty depending on the outcome of the Activision 00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:43.620 acquisition this is great word play a similar 10-year deal will make Call of 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:48.120 Duty games available on Nintendo devices no word yet on whether soap McTavish 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 00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:55.260 switch here's hoping though Sony rejected basically the same deal when it 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:58.739 was offered by Microsoft and I can't imagine that seeing other industry 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.480 players gain access to Microsoft's cool clubhouse would feel very nice for any 00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:07.560 giant Tech Corporation to make matters worse though for Sony the communication 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:12.060 workers of America a major video game labor union has added their support to 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:17.760 the deal in return for a pledge of neutrality from Microsoft toward future 00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:20.759 unionization they promise what what Sony 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:26.159 you don't care about workers right more like workstation am I right you said it 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.479 speaking of Activision they recently confirmed that they suffered a major 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:35.220 data breach resulting in the theft of employee data and their release schedule 00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:40.500 back in December law enforcement's Prime Suspect now is a furry green man wearing 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.880 red what the Grinch the company with the dog the breach was apparently caused by 00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:48.720 a successful SMS phishing scam that gave the hacker privilege access to 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.640 Activision's internal Network Activision stress is no sensitive employee data 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:58.140 game code or player data was accessed which doesn't explain why they didn't 00:01:55.619 --> 00:02:02.579 notify the public or their own employees in fact Activision only announced that 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.060 the breach occurred after a cyber security research group posted 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.560 screenshots of the stolen data to Twitter which apparently came as a shock 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:13.800 to many within Activision the hacker was able to access spreadsheets including 00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:18.720 the names phone numbers email address and work addresses of employees which 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.780 doesn't meet the strict legal definition of sensitive data in California it like 00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:28.739 saying hey I didn't post your nudes just this picture of you in beige underwear 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:33.000 that happens to be skin tight and we like the Bulge 00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:37.860 it's my favorite battle we love it a bulge a large international law firm 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:42.480 Allen and Avery that's real has partnered with open AI to test an AI 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:46.200 model specifically designed for legal work the tool is called Harvey 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:52.319 presumably named after other prominent Harvey's in the legal profession such as 00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:54.180 Specter Birdman or Dent Harvey was 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.560 trained on an extensive database of legal knowledge and the firm began to a 00:02:56.340 --> 00:03:02.459 trial run with open AI back in September now though they're expanding their use 00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:07.019 of Harvey at a time when many other firms are looking to get into the AI 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:11.819 craze as well unlike previous attempts at an AI lawyer Harvey is not giving 00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:16.319 advice to clients rather it's being used as a tool to increase the efficiency of 00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:21.180 existing employees by answering simple legal questions and drafting messages to 00:03:18.540 --> 00:03:24.420 clients as well as documents areas of law like contracts and license 00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:29.040 generation tend to be highly predictable and typically use standardized though 00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:33.060 hard to read language meaning they're an obvious use case for AI generated text 00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:37.080 so long as it's thoroughly checked by a professional apparently Harvey performs 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:40.620 well at General legal tasks but struggles in more Niche areas of 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.879 knowledge and the firm is warning clients about the possibility of AI 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:51.900 hallucinations otherwise known as making stuff up or Saul goodmaning good man ing 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.159 it's all good man all right now it's 00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:59.640 time for the quick

there's always exactly five quick bits 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.460 well me too don't tell me anything the 00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:39.300 heavily hyped game atomic heart has launched without support for Ray tracing 00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:44.699 odd seeing as it was predominantly featured in several NVIDIA RTX showcases 00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:49.440 and Mund fish Atomic Hearts developer made no announcement that Ray tracing 00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:54.000 would be removed stay with me more like atomic fart 00:04:52.020 --> 00:04:57.360 this would seem to be at odds with accusations from the Ukrainian 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:02.580 government that the game was funded by oil Giant Gas prom if you're funded by 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.479 Russian oligarchs you 100 have Ray tracing money 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:10.560 come on Samsung has updated its Voice Assistant Bixby which apparently still 00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:16.139 exists to answer calls on behalf of users possibly in their own voice Bixby 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 00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:24.600 quick call you can just send a quick text instead which Bixby will read out 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:29.039 in your voice word of warning though your mom might just decide she likes 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:32.160 this new robot you that always answers her calls better than the Flesh and 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 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:44.100 ordered the entire stock of tsmc's first gen three nanometer chips for its 00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:45.479 upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Max the 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:50.460 most important of all the upcoming devices according to Apple anyway 00:05:47.539 --> 00:05:54.720 Intel's 15th gen Aero Lake processors were supposed to launch in the third 00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:59.639 quarter of next year using tsmc's three nanometer process for their gpus 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:04.080 but based on delays and Intel's orders from tsmc Arrow Lakes launch will likely 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 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 00:06:10.919 --> 00:06:18.360 Rovio the game developer famous for the wildly popular mobile game Angry Birds I 00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:22.440 love that one has announced they will be pulling the original Angry Birds from 00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:27.539 Mobile stores their stated rationale is The Game's impact on their wider games 00:06:25.259 --> 00:06:31.560 portfolio likely a reference to the fact that their other titles are free to play 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:35.460 games meant to suck players dry through microtransactions while the original 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.539 Angry Birds was a game you bought and owned for a dollar after which it would 00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:44.220 never again ask you for money unlike most of your relatives speaking 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 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.259 you know how Twitter tried to turn the blue check mark into an eight dollar 00:06:49.380 --> 00:06:55.620 status symbol well Tumblr a social media platform that does still exist I'm 00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:58.979 assured decided it would be funny to sell what they called important blue 00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:02.639 internet check marks for a single payment of four dollars a decision that 00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:06.479 has apparently increased tumblr's iOS revenue from in-app purchases by 125 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 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:16.199 porn loss right officially the check marks do nothing and are simply to show 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 00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:26.699 even give them to other people warning important blue internet check marks May 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:30.300 on occasion turn into crabs in a process called carsonization you can get it from 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 00:07:32.039 --> 00:07:37.199 them to watch on Friday possibly from a toilet seat 00:07:35.460 --> 00:07:41.780 we'll have laughs but you can't play Angry Birds anymore on there yeah oh 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.780 it's over bye
