1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:09,040
Okay, I've been thinking about this a lot and I'm pretty sure a hundred guys

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,280
could beat one gorilla unless he had

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,240
watched this show and become incredibly smart. At that point, all bets are off.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,320
It's like Planet of the Apes fast takeoff situation. YouTube says they're

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,400
running an experiment where a small percentage of viewers will see blurred

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,960
video thumbnails when they search for topics that frequently include sexual

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,079
themes. The feature is meant to help users avoid accidentally viewing

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:37,280
sensitive content if that's what they want. Users will have the option to

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:42,000
unblur the thumbnails though if they're more in touch with their uh sensitive

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,079
side. But for most people, blurring mature content should dissuade them from

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:48,320
viewing it. I mean, hey, it worked for the

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:56,399
Japanese. Wait, YouTube apparently ran a similar experiment back in 2023. They

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:01,199
love science. But this latest one comes as the tech world is grappling with how

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:06,320
to stop children from having their brain melted by social platforms. That's only

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,360
for grown-ups. We're closer to death, so it doesn't matter. But who's responsible

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:16,720
for age verification? Well, Meta, Spotify, and other app makers think uh

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,600
not them. They think it's Apple and Google's job. So they formed a lobbying

18
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:29,280
group called the Coalition for a Competitive Mobile Experience or

19
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:31,640
CackMe. They care about obviously good

20
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:36,880
and uncontroversial things like interoperability, a level playing field,

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,200
and age verification being someone else's responsibility. Okay, I'm mocking

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:45,759
them, but there is a good argument that if we figure out how to verify age

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,000
without compromising privacy, it probably shouldn't be a separate

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,520
implementation for every app. Regardless, it's good that people are

25
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,079
thinking about this now and even enacting legislation. Finland just

26
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,000
banned students from using smartphones at school, except under strict

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,439
conditions, like if one of their Tik Toks hit a million likes. You got to

28
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,479
check it at that point. Taiwan just passed a law that will limit the world's

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,760
preeeminent chipmaker TSMC from manufacturing its top tier technologies

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:21,520
outside of the country. A move partially meant to stave off annexation attempts

31
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:26,640
from China. Now, despite this, TSMC just broke ground on its third chip

32
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,640
manufacturing facility in Arizona, which some industry leaders reportedly expect

33
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:36,000
to produce chips based on the company's currently most advanced N2 process. But

34
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,400
but they'll change their mind, right? I mean, speaking of changing your mind,

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Trump just softened his tariffs a bit for the auto industry, exempting

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:50,319
automakers from paying some tariffs on steel and aluminum if they're part of a

37
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,480
whole assembly. Unfortunately, it's not the tariffs themselves that are really

38
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,000
the issue anymore. It's the fact that they're constantly changing. So, this

39
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,440
doesn't One company's looking better than the others after the most recent

40
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:06,879
tariffs, though, and you'll never guess who it is. Two Tesla models are the only

41
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,280
vehicles exempt from the new auto tariffs, which don't apply to vehicles

42
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:17,760
with a domestic content rating of at least 85%. The exact rating given to the

43
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:25,280
Model Y by the made in America Auto Index from the KOD School of Business.

44
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:27,519
Phew, congrats Tesla. Close one. Meta

45
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,840
summoned some AI announcements at their first specifically AI focused

46
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,480
conference, which they called Llamacon. but which I will refer to as Meta Lama

47
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,440
because it sounds like an ancient book of demonically overhyped In

48
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,959
addition to llama models being available through an API like OpenAI's offerings,

49
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Meta also finally unveiled a dedicated mobile app for their Meta AI chatbot

50
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:57,360
with a better voice mode and a social feed so you can see what kind of slop

51
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:03,040
the AI is throwing at your friends. It's slop, but hey, that's my friend's slop.

52
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:07,360
It slurps different. If you'd prefer to keep things just between you and the AI,

53
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,239
though, WhatsApp says it's developing a system kind of similar to Apple's

54
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:18,000
private cloud to accomplish this. This feature follows complaints about Meta AI

55
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:22,720
being suddenly added to WhatsApp with no way to remove it. Paulie Hudson at the

56
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Guardian compared it to Apple's genius idea back in 2014 to make everyone's

57
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,360
iTunes automatically download a free

58
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,440
YouTube album. Why would anyone be mad about this? Somehow, there are still

59
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:40,560
WikiHow entries on how to get rid of it. In other AI news, Wikipedia says it's

60
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:46,080
going to use AI. Now, don't freak out. Calm down. They are very explicitly not

61
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,320
using it to write the text on the Wikipedia pages. They're just using it

62
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,479
to automate some support processes so that human editors can spend their time

63
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:58,479
editing out all the nonsense other humans are constantly trying to force in

64
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,800
there. Because AI tools should be used to help humans. That's why free stock

65
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:09,520
image provider Freepick and AI startup Foul.ai developed Flight, an open-source

66
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:15,039
image generator trained entirely on properly licensed content. Another AI

67
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,680
focused production company, Asteria, says the same is true for their models,

68
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:24,800
which will be a core part of an upcoming experimental sci-fi film developed in

69
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:29,919
part by actress and writer Natasha Leon. According to her, this project is going

70
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,120
to be wild. Saying, "Imagine if Diane

71
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:35,120
West and Diane Katon at their loquacious

72
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,280
best decided to take a journey through the Matrix for sport only to find

73
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,240
themselves holding up an architectural blueprint, and you'll have a sense of

74
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,240
the adventure we've been

75
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:52,639
on. Well, I'm sensing something." It's a segue to the sponsor,

76
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,600
Opera, and their re-imagined browser, Opera 1 R2. because you deserve a better

77
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,440
browser. And this one might be it. For example, the music player lets you

78
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,520
control your beats from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more without

79
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,800
interrupting your browsing because you can pop it out and move it literally

80
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,960
anywhere. Over here? Yep. What about

81
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,960
over here? That's uh What about Next up,

82
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,479
Tab Traces tracks your recently used tabs with a subtle visual trace. Perfect

83
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:26,720
for those of us who suddenly find ourselves reading the wiki page for the French playwright Honore de Balzac and

84
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,960
have no idea why. But not anymore. Thanks, Opera. That's just scratching

85
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,639
the surface. Tab Islands intuitively group tabs together based on context. Or

86
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,960
you can do it manually. There's a built-in split screen function, stunning

87
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,479
themes with fully customizable browser colors, sounds, and animated

88
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:46,800
backgrounds. And there's even Arya, Opera's free built-in AI tool. Summon

89
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,120
the Arya command line with a keyboard shortcut anytime to get writing help,

90
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,479
ask questions about an image, and even generate one so other people can ask you

91
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,240
about it. This is a new generation of browser people, so check out Opera for

92
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,840
free today using our link in the description. I know the tech news would

93
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,520
make the gorilla super smart, but I don't really feel it yet. Um, maybe I

94
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:11,680
have to do the quick bits first. Nintendo's virtual game card system

95
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,039
announced alongside the Switch 2 is now rolling out for Switch One systems. But

96
00:07:14,479 --> 00:07:21,919
to current Switch owners dismay, it closes a loophole that has allowed two

97
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:26,240
Switch consoles to play the same digital copy of a game online simultaneously.

98
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Now, in some scenarios, you might still be able to pull this off if one console

99
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,400
is disconnected from Wi-Fi, so you won't be online. But that's obviously

100
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:39,280
unacceptable, and the Switch One is now ruined. I will not be pre-ordering the

101
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:44,240
Switch 2 because Nintendo's pre-order requirements say I can't. Android 16

102
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:48,000
will bring some noticeable UI changes. According to a rundown by Android

103
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Authority, many new elements, including the quick settings panel, will feature

104
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:55,199
fairly iOSesque frosted glass

105
00:07:53,080 --> 00:08:00,560
transparencies instead of solid backgrounds, making dark mode in some

106
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,800
cases look a hell of a lot not like dark

107
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,840
mode. I've had enough of this. I think it's time for a dumb phone. Like the

108
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:12,479
Side phone, a stylish new tiny guy with

109
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:15,280
a swappable key keypad. Oh, it's keypad.

110
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:20,319
keypad and up to eight days of battery. That thing can't hurt me. It's too

111
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:24,720
small. Google CEO Sundar Pichai took the stand during the Department of Justice's

112
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:30,680
antirust remedies trial to warn the judge that forcing Google to break up

113
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:34,680
its business could have

114
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,680
unforeseen consequences.

115
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,760
For example, if Google was forced to license its search API so other

116
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,560
companies could build proper competitors, why? That might crush

117
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Google's spirit to the point they wouldn't even care to keep working on

118
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:55,920
search. And then people might use other search engines instead. Why that? Oh,

119
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,880
that's the point. And smart rings are getting pretty sophisticated. I think

120
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,680
we're now ready for the raw ring. a

121
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:08,839
finger loop for you and your partner that's packed with sensors so it can

122
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:12,080
notify you when your partner is feeling

123
00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:14,320
aroused. Uh, the Raw Ring creators say

124
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:20,800
their product can help married couples build loyalty and trust uh by not

125
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:25,279
trusting that they'll behave themselves. I I don't know where was their head at

126
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,640
here. They're also making a dating app, and I don't need to know how that works,

127
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:33,519
but I would like to know if you can spoof this thing by putting the ring on

128
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:37,440
a sausage, because if so, I mean, the whole idea is shot. Just like this

129
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:42,800
episode. Thanks for watching, you 100 guys. I'm Gorilla and I'll be back here

130
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,959
on Friday for more tech news to give to you.

131
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,959
I don't think this is
