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

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.280
could beat one gorilla unless he had

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.240
watched this show and become incredibly smart. At that point, all bets are off.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:18.320
It's like Planet of the Apes fast takeoff situation. YouTube says they're

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.400
running an experiment where a small percentage of viewers will see blurred

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.960
video thumbnails when they search for topics that frequently include sexual

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:32.079
themes. The feature is meant to help users avoid accidentally viewing

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:37.280
sensitive content if that's what they want. Users will have the option to

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.000
unblur the thumbnails though if they're more in touch with their uh sensitive

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.079
side. But for most people, blurring mature content should dissuade them from

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:48.320
viewing it. I mean, hey, it worked for the

00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:56.399
Japanese. Wait, YouTube apparently ran a similar experiment back in 2023. They

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.199
love science. But this latest one comes as the tech world is grappling with how

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:06.320
to stop children from having their brain melted by social platforms. That's only

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

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:16.720
for age verification? Well, Meta, Spotify, and other app makers think uh

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:21.600
not them. They think it's Apple and Google's job. So they formed a lobbying

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:29.280
group called the Coalition for a Competitive Mobile Experience or

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:31.640
CackMe. They care about obviously good

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:36.880
and uncontroversial things like interoperability, a level playing field,

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:41.200
and age verification being someone else's responsibility. Okay, I'm mocking

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:45.759
them, but there is a good argument that if we figure out how to verify age

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.000
without compromising privacy, it probably shouldn't be a separate

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.520
implementation for every app. Regardless, it's good that people are

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.079
thinking about this now and even enacting legislation. Finland just

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.000
banned students from using smartphones at school, except under strict

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:05.439
conditions, like if one of their Tik Toks hit a million likes. You got to

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:10.479
check it at that point. Taiwan just passed a law that will limit the world's

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:15.760
preeeminent chipmaker TSMC from manufacturing its top tier technologies

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:21.520
outside of the country. A move partially meant to stave off annexation attempts

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:26.640
from China. Now, despite this, TSMC just broke ground on its third chip

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:30.640
manufacturing facility in Arizona, which some industry leaders reportedly expect

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:36.000
to produce chips based on the company's currently most advanced N2 process. But

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.400
but they'll change their mind, right? I mean, speaking of changing your mind,

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.120
Trump just softened his tariffs a bit for the auto industry, exempting

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:50.319
automakers from paying some tariffs on steel and aluminum if they're part of a

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.480
whole assembly. Unfortunately, it's not the tariffs themselves that are really

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:58.000
the issue anymore. It's the fact that they're constantly changing. So, this

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:01.440
doesn't One company's looking better than the others after the most recent

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:06.879
tariffs, though, and you'll never guess who it is. Two Tesla models are the only

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:11.280
vehicles exempt from the new auto tariffs, which don't apply to vehicles

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:17.760
with a domestic content rating of at least 85%. The exact rating given to the

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:25.280
Model Y by the made in America Auto Index from the KOD School of Business.

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:27.519
Phew, congrats Tesla. Close one. Meta

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.840
summoned some AI announcements at their first specifically AI focused

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.480
conference, which they called Llamacon. but which I will refer to as Meta Lama

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:41.440
because it sounds like an ancient book of demonically overhyped In

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.959
addition to llama models being available through an API like OpenAI's offerings,

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.000
Meta also finally unveiled a dedicated mobile app for their Meta AI chatbot

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

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.

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:07.360
It slurps different. If you'd prefer to keep things just between you and the AI,

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.239
though, WhatsApp says it's developing a system kind of similar to Apple's

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:18.000
private cloud to accomplish this. This feature follows complaints about Meta AI

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:22.720
being suddenly added to WhatsApp with no way to remove it. Paulie Hudson at the

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:28.560
Guardian compared it to Apple's genius idea back in 2014 to make everyone's

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.360
iTunes automatically download a free

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.440
YouTube album. Why would anyone be mad about this? Somehow, there are still

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

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:46.080
going to use AI. Now, don't freak out. Calm down. They are very explicitly not

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.320
using it to write the text on the Wikipedia pages. They're just using it

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:54.479
to automate some support processes so that human editors can spend their time

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:58.479
editing out all the nonsense other humans are constantly trying to force in

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:03.800
there. Because AI tools should be used to help humans. That's why free stock

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:09.520
image provider Freepick and AI startup Foul.ai developed Flight, an open-source

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:15.039
image generator trained entirely on properly licensed content. Another AI

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:19.680
focused production company, Asteria, says the same is true for their models,

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:24.800
which will be a core part of an upcoming experimental sci-fi film developed in

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:29.919
part by actress and writer Natasha Leon. According to her, this project is going

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.120
to be wild. Saying, "Imagine if Diane

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:35.120
West and Diane Katon at their loquacious

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.280
best decided to take a journey through the Matrix for sport only to find

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.240
themselves holding up an architectural blueprint, and you'll have a sense of

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.240
the adventure we've been

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:52.639
on. Well, I'm sensing something." It's a segue to the sponsor,

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:57.600
Opera, and their re-imagined browser, Opera 1 R2. because you deserve a better

00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:01.440
browser. And this one might be it. For example, the music player lets you

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:05.520
control your beats from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more without

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:10.800
interrupting your browsing because you can pop it out and move it literally

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.960
anywhere. Over here? Yep. What about

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.960
over here? That's uh What about Next up,

00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:20.479
Tab Traces tracks your recently used tabs with a subtle visual trace. Perfect

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

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.960
have no idea why. But not anymore. Thanks, Opera. That's just scratching

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.639
the surface. Tab Islands intuitively group tabs together based on context. Or

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.960
you can do it manually. There's a built-in split screen function, stunning

00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.479
themes with fully customizable browser colors, sounds, and animated

00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:46.800
backgrounds. And there's even Arya, Opera's free built-in AI tool. Summon

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:51.120
the Arya command line with a keyboard shortcut anytime to get writing help,

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.479
ask questions about an image, and even generate one so other people can ask you

00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:00.240
about it. This is a new generation of browser people, so check out Opera for

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.840
free today using our link in the description. I know the tech news would

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.520
make the gorilla super smart, but I don't really feel it yet. Um, maybe I

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:11.680
have to do the quick bits first. Nintendo's virtual game card system

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:17.039
announced alongside the Switch 2 is now rolling out for Switch One systems. But

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:21.919
to current Switch owners dismay, it closes a loophole that has allowed two

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:26.240
Switch consoles to play the same digital copy of a game online simultaneously.

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.560
Now, in some scenarios, you might still be able to pull this off if one console

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:34.400
is disconnected from Wi-Fi, so you won't be online. But that's obviously

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:39.280
unacceptable, and the Switch One is now ruined. I will not be pre-ordering the

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:44.240
Switch 2 because Nintendo's pre-order requirements say I can't. Android 16

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:48.000
will bring some noticeable UI changes. According to a rundown by Android

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:53.080
Authority, many new elements, including the quick settings panel, will feature

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:55.199
fairly iOSesque frosted glass

00:07:53.080 --> 00:08:00.560
transparencies instead of solid backgrounds, making dark mode in some

00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:02.800
cases look a hell of a lot not like dark

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

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:12.479
Side phone, a stylish new tiny guy with

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:15.280
a swappable key keypad. Oh, it's keypad.

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

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:24.720
small. Google CEO Sundar Pichai took the stand during the Department of Justice's

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:30.680
antirust remedies trial to warn the judge that forcing Google to break up

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:34.680
its business could have

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.680
unforeseen consequences.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.760
For example, if Google was forced to license its search API so other

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:46.560
companies could build proper competitors, why? That might crush

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:50.880
Google's spirit to the point they wouldn't even care to keep working on

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:55.920
search. And then people might use other search engines instead. Why that? Oh,

00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.880
that's the point. And smart rings are getting pretty sophisticated. I think

00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:03.680
we're now ready for the raw ring. a

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:08.839
finger loop for you and your partner that's packed with sensors so it can

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:12.080
notify you when your partner is feeling

00:09:08.839 --> 00:09:14.320
aroused. Uh, the Raw Ring creators say

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:20.800
their product can help married couples build loyalty and trust uh by not

00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:25.279
trusting that they'll behave themselves. I I don't know where was their head at

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,

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

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:37.440
a sausage, because if so, I mean, the whole idea is shot. Just like this

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:42.800
episode. Thanks for watching, you 100 guys. I'm Gorilla and I'll be back here

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:46.959
on Friday for more tech news to give to you.

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:46.959
I don't think this is
