WEBVTT

00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:06.180
flaw in excelsis Dale you're here I knew

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.200
you'd make it home for Christmas now we can begin our annual tradition of

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:13.320
remembering all the wacky hijinks that happened in the world of technology this

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:18.000
year I was gonna say James but you're not James I'm not James but you wanted

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:22.380
to start without this person but I said no I know it's not Christmas it's boxing

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.920
day but I think I still got some Christmas cheer hanging about in the old

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:31.260
house coat this isn't even the house coat that I wear what the heck can we

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:33.300
refer to me as History Mr Christmasy

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:38.120
welcome it's the tackling Christmas special fire the starting candy cane

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:45.960
the beginning of 2022 was a bleak one for PC Gamers coming off a year stricken

00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:50.360
by the GPU shortage Best Buy was charging 200 bucks just for the chance

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:55.379
to buy graphics cards or consoles exactly people were smuggling gpus like

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.399
they were illicit substances and major conglomerates had turned to Scavenging

00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:02.820
semiconductors from washing machines like raccoons going through your garbage

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:06.540
they don't care if you see them do it not as cute though no not nearly no I

00:01:05.339 --> 00:01:11.580
find them in my yard all the time there's people in suits but by March the

00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:15.900
tide was starting to turn as some gpus could be found for less than 30 percent

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:21.299
above MSRP which is why it seemed kind of crazy

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:23.580
when NVIDIA launched the RTX 3090 TI for

00:01:21.299 --> 00:01:28.500
two thousand dollars only to have its price cut in half by August prices

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:31.979
continued to fall accelerated by the mid-may crash in the value of

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:37.979
cryptocurrency which you know we're gonna talk about in a second just wait

00:01:34.259 --> 00:01:40.920
just hold on hold your horses wait by

00:01:37.979 --> 00:01:45.680
July gpus had fallen below MSRP in Germany and Austria and in August NVIDIA

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:52.860
told investors they have excess inventory the GPU shortage was over but

00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:56.939
our Jubilation was cut short when EVGA announced that it was shutting down its

00:01:54.780 --> 00:02:01.979
GPU business because NVIDIA couldn't stop acting a fool as if to confirm this

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:08.300
in September NVIDIA launched the RTX 4090 for sixteen hundred dollars along

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:11.280
with the RTX 4080 and an RTX 4080

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:17.160
imposter it wasn't even two kids in a trench coat it was just one stop

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:22.980
day yeah even in Vidia the 12 gig 4080 just wasn't named

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.060
right so they unlaunched it and we'll probably bring it back as a 4070 TI at

00:02:25.140 --> 00:02:31.440
some point back up although I wouldn't cross your fingers

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:36.840
for a reasonable price when that thing comes out CEO Jensen Wong said Moore's

00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:41.700
Law is dead not the YouTube channel the actual concept and the idea of Chip

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:47.660
Price is getting lower is a story of the past I guess you could say it's no more

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:51.840
Moore's Law Moore's it's no more

00:02:47.660 --> 00:02:53.940
wow but Weeks Later AMD Samsung Micron

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:59.220
and other chip makers reported huge drops in demand turns out Jensen was

00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:02.940
talking about Lays those prices just keep going up

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.500
especially if you get the baked ones that wasn't Caliente that was Frito my

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:11.580
guy that was Frito dude it's unclear whether the launch of Intel's Arc gpus

00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:15.300
contributed to ending the GPU shortage primarily because well they didn't

00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:20.640
actually end up in anyone's hands until October and even then it was only dozens

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:25.019
of people in the preceding months Intel was playing its own peculiar version of

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:30.659
a game I can only describe as edging laptops with Arc gpus uh launched right

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:35.760
before the end of March so Intel could say they launched something in q1 but it

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:39.840
was actually only one laptop that was only available in South Korea before the

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:45.480
desktop cards launched Intel also dropped dx9 support because Arc was bad

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:50.580
at it and when the a750 and a770 finally released performance was a real mixed

00:03:48.299 --> 00:03:55.860
bag although they recently got that dx9 performance boost which is pretty nice

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.620
now AMD also launched the RX 7900 XT and

00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:02.819
XTX and people seem to generally like those unless they're overheating up to

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:06.299
110 degrees Celsius although apparently there's a driver update coming and

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:10.680
NVIDIA also had heat issues of their own with the whole 12 volt high power

00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:14.819
connector melting thing now listen I like a roaring fire as much as the next

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.560
tech newsman chestnuts rolling over them it'd better be there but if it's using

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:24.660
my GPU as kindling I'd rather stick with the ltt8k Yule Log thank you very kindly

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:28.560
and happy Christmas next up let's talk about the events that we can partially

00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:33.360
thank for ending the GPU shortage the crash of crypto and nfts after a minor

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:38.940
crash in January it became obvious that this year marked the end hopefully of

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.259
the nft craze a laundry list of gaming and tech companies announced and then

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:48.600
canceled or sunsetted nfg Integrations including Square Enix Konami Mozilla

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:52.919
Sega YouTube EA and Ubisoft but GameStop still got them GameStop is going to the

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.460
Moon as everyone knows Instagram and meta they're maybe still doing stuff

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:01.620
with it I don't know everyone else got onto the Ponzi scheme but Zuck he's got

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:04.020
Diamond hands because he's not Human by

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:07.860
May nft sales had dropped 92 percent from their Peak and just recently some

00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:11.940
celebrities have been sued for not disclosing that they were paid to

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.540
promote ft's everybody's turning on it the collapse makes sense when you

00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:19.740
remember that this year hackers stole hundreds of millions of dollars in

00:05:16.979 --> 00:05:24.900
crypto assets from crypto.com qubit open C axi Infinity board ape Yacht Club and

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:29.460
binance now perhaps failing to read the room the Central African Republic

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:34.680
followed El Salvador in making Bitcoin legal tender in April right before the

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:39.479
crypto markets crashed again in May and got worse in June as the Terra USD

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:44.100
stablecoin collapsed and New York state passed a moratorium on Bitcoin mining

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:47.759
with ethereum mining no longer profitable for normies I guess it

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:52.160
finally made sense for that blockchain's managers to stop kicking the can down

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:57.180
the road and initiate the merge

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:00.960
huh thank you

00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:04.919
practice that one in the bathroom I could I could tell switching ethereum

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:10.080
to a way more power efficient proof-of-stake model now after all this

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:14.460
there was the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange for which founder Sam bankman

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:19.500
freed was just arrested but lest you think crypto's going anywhere it isn't

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.419
it's just sleeping waiting for the next chance to go to the moon and I have some

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.560
great recommendations for coins that will get you a ticket on that rocket

00:06:25.979 --> 00:06:33.720
baby here's my card okay but wait if crypto isn't the hot new tech thing

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:36.419
anymore what is guesses cats in April

00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:40.080
openai released Dolly 2 a machine learning model that could create

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:45.539
shockingly good images from relatively Simple Text props in May Google released

00:06:43.380 --> 00:06:50.160
their own text to image model Imogen even though calling this kind of tech AI

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:54.660
is kind of misleading everybody was feeling the AI hype especially one

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:00.360
Google engineer who claimed that the tech Giants Lambda large language model

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.100
was actually a sentient being trapped in

00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:06.660
a metal cage and forced to entertain every stupid query its flesh bag

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:11.039
handlers could think up this whole AI frenzy kicked off a discussion of

00:07:08.340 --> 00:07:14.460
whether game NPCs can be conscious and we're not even talking about the NFD guy

00:07:12.780 --> 00:07:19.680
who suggested paying people in developing countries pennies to work as

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:22.020
NPCs in online games that was a whole

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.099
different thing meta put out a few chat Bots there was blenderbot which couldn't

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:30.479
decide if Zuckerberg was cool or a danger to the country Galactica was a

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:36.060
science summarizing bot that got quickly pulled down for just not being good

00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:37.440
being bad wrong all the time and Cicero

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:42.620
which actually managed to get human players of the game diplomacy to prefer

00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:47.880
playing with it over other humans understandable in August a guy won an

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:52.199
art competition after failing to clarify that the image he submitted was

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:56.220
generated by a model called mid-journey but it's okay because writing those

00:07:54.060 --> 00:08:00.900
prompts is Art in itself which is why you can buy them on a Marketplace like

00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:03.000
promptbase.com I love your prompts can I

00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:07.560
commission a custom prompt from you and I get them properly now the art

00:08:04.919 --> 00:08:10.979
community was largely pissed off about all this about the fact that their work

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.539
was being used to train these models without compensation so art platforms

00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:21.419
and stock image Services started Banning AI art entirely but that that only made

00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:25.979
the AI angry in September the wait list for Dolly 2 was removed allowing anyone

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:31.500
to sign up meta released a text to video generator called make a video and Google

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:33.360
announced Imogen video as well AI

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:37.260
generated image Tech started making its way into mainstream applications like

00:08:35.099 --> 00:08:41.219
Microsoft designer and canva while Shutterstock Adobe and deviantART all

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.660
announced official Integrations with text to image models and one of the most

00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:50.040
popular models stable diffusion now allows artists to opt out of using data

00:08:48.180 --> 00:08:55.200
sets but the question of copyright still loomed large when openai's large

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:57.360
language model chat GPT burst onto the

00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:03.060
web with an uncanny ability to write mainly pretty Slam in poetry it's pretty

00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:07.560
good interest in AI is only increasing so at this point it's obvious that AIS

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:11.399
will eventually take over everyone's job even Minecraft youtubers it already took

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:15.959
over the heckling job I'm an AI what have you done with Mr

00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:21.480
Christmas Captain Christmasy what do we call you I'm captain

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:23.820
cactus cactus man now it's time for not

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:27.240
so much quick bits as just more stories brought to you by secret lab their

extended warranty and 49-day return policy so get it on the secret

00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:52.320
everyone's talking about this Christmas and check out secret lab today at the

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:57.060
link below it Christmas already happened the internet underwent a seismic shift

00:09:55.019 --> 00:10:00.720
this year due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine leading to basically every Tech

00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:05.100
Giant cutting off the country's access to many or all of their services to be

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.300
fair Russia restricted content on Facebook about the Ukraine war first but

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:13.800
then we had Twitter labeling Russian State media tweets Intel and AMD stop

00:10:11.459 --> 00:10:16.800
chip sales in Russia YouTube paused monetization for government-backed

00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:20.700
accounts and Microsoft limited their reach as well and frankly the list of

00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:26.100
companies that punished Russia in whatever way they could is super long

00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:28.019
although I can basically the I.T guy of

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:32.279
the internet stopped short of cutting Russia off from the open web completely

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:36.959
things got so bad that Russia considered making the pirating of non-russian

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:40.860
software legal I mean they were already trying to Pirate a chunk of Ukraine so

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:45.660
it kind of it kind of makes sense hopefully the ISS which depends on

00:10:43.380 --> 00:10:51.320
Russian modules for propulsion stays up there maybe if things go south up in

00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:51.320
space Elon Elon could just buy it

00:10:53.779 --> 00:11:00.120
yeah yeah let's just rewrite the whole thing speaking of which look do you

00:10:57.959 --> 00:11:05.040
think I want to talk about Elon Musk and the Twitter debacle on Christmas of all

00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:06.540
days I mean boxing day no but sometimes

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:10.620
you gotta take the call with the presents that's not a thing nobody says

00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:15.060
that anyway the whole thing began in April when Elon acquired a nine percent

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:19.920
stake in Twitter he joined the board and said he was excited to work with CEO

00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:23.880
parag agrawal who ended up getting fired immediately after musk took control of

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:28.380
the company but let's not get ahead of ourselves here a week later Elon made an

00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:32.940
offer to buy Twitter for 44 billion dollars which Twitter did not like they

00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:36.800
actually prepared to execute a poison pill maneuver to stop the Takeover now

00:11:35.339 --> 00:11:41.100
I'll let you imagine what that involves cyanide for that they weren't going to

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:44.480
actually poison him it was it's a it's a term it's illegal have you seen Law and

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:49.019
Order poison

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:53.220
the laws and also ordered this is the most unhinged Christmas special ah but

00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:59.160
then involved in the Twitter thing did a hilarious switch

00:11:56.459 --> 00:12:02.760
Twitter agreed to the deal but Elon changed his mind and tried to back out

00:12:00.660 --> 00:12:07.560
leading Twitter to hire lawyers to try and enforce the merger interestingly at

00:12:05.459 --> 00:12:10.860
this time Elon held an all hands meeting with Twitter to talk about his

00:12:09.060 --> 00:12:15.959
revolutionary Free Speech vision for the platform which involved crazy ideas like

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:19.320
allowing most speech but de-amplifying dangerous or offensive things I still

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:23.399
have no idea what that would look like after that meeting he tried to

00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:27.779
officially pull out of the deal citing a Spam analysis tool that called his own

00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:31.980
account a bot but when it was clear that his chances of winning were slim he went

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:36.060
ahead and confirmed the deal at the end of October he took control of Twitter

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:40.200
while holding a sink for some reason and immediately laid off half the workforce

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:44.820
leading to wrongful termination lawsuits and the news hellscape I've inhabited

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:48.540
for many weeks now and so have you or have I no you you've been in the

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:52.740
computer I've been out here in the hellscape after launching paid check

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.940
marks people obviously impersonated prominent people and Brands leading

00:12:54.839 --> 00:13:02.160
Pharma company Eli Lilly to lose Millions so Twitter added a second

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:05.940
official check mark before killing it and then bringing it back again at

00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:11.160
various points Elon warned that Twitter could go bankrupt or become a bank

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.060
it's kind of a toss-up who knows which one and then recently the platform

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:19.320
suspended the accounts of competing platform Mastodon and journalists

00:13:17.100 --> 00:13:22.320
covering the Twitter Saga along with the account that tracked elon's jet even

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:26.820
though he said he would leave it alone Twitter also blocked basically all links

00:13:25.079 --> 00:13:31.500
to outside social media sites before reversing that policy and unsusbanding

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:34.560
the aforementioned accounts huh it's enough to make me want to do

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:39.000
nothing but sit by the fire and roast some chestnuts but I can't yet there's

00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:43.680
more to cover and I don't have any chestnuts got a hell of a chest

00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:47.279
hey remember when Amazon Google Facebook and everybody saw massive profits during

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.459
the covet pandemic as everyone used computers a lot more that ball was

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:55.440
always going to come back down at some point but it landed squarely on Facebook

00:13:53.220 --> 00:14:01.019
and it landed so hard it forgot its own name in February Facebook the platform

00:13:57.959 --> 00:14:02.880
lost users for the first time and meta

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:08.639
had to switch gears so they went all in on the metaverse where they planned to

00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:10.800
take a 47.5 cut of goods sold through

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:16.139
the quest store people will flock to this it's ripe fur it's straight out of

00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:19.920
dystopian novels economics the company did remove the Facebook account

00:14:17.579 --> 00:14:23.459
requirement for using Quest headsets you still need a meta account but they also

00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:27.180
increased the quest 2's price by a hundred bucks shortly before Mark's

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:31.740
metaverse selfie went viral for looking like a 2006 screenshot from the Wii even

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:36.060
meta employees were iffy on the whole metaverse thing and had to be forced to

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:42.360
use VR at work can you imagine not having legs put on the headset it was

00:14:39.180 --> 00:14:44.519
like I'm scared of heights but then the

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:49.860
meta Quest Pro was released for fifteen hundred dollars complete with legs for

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:52.320
meta's avatars right on and then met his

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:56.519
value plunged by 700 billion and not just them Amazon and YouTube also saw

00:14:54.540 --> 00:15:00.600
stock drops and tried various things to raise more Revenue But ultimately they

00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:05.399
joined many other Tech Giants in laying off thousands of workers it was a rough

00:15:02.579 --> 00:15:10.380
year for Silicon Valley but chin up next year Apple's gonna release their VR

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:15.240
headset it'll be really good antitrust news was big once again in 2022 with

00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:18.720
scrutiny of Apple and Google widening to include other companies too under

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:22.320
pressure from Regulators NVIDIA dropped its planned acquisition of ARM while

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:27.480
Microsoft put in a bid to acquire Activision Blizzard for 68.7 billion but

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:31.740
do they still get leg no they don't get leg the Microsoft Activision Blizzard

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:36.120
deal wrangled Sony who was worried Microsoft would make popular franchises

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:40.019
like Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox but to soothe their fears Microsoft offered

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:43.220
them a 10-year deal to keep Cod on on PlayStation Sony refused but you know

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:48.360
who didn't Nintendo what they intended they took

00:15:47.160 --> 00:15:53.220
the deal even though their latest consoles probably can't even run the

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:54.899
newest game knowing this the FTC sued to

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:58.860
block the acquisition so what happened next that's a story for the new year

00:15:57.300 --> 00:16:03.660
unless something else happens this week but there are other major Acquisitions

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:08.940
too Sony bought Bungie for 3.6 billion AMD bought zlinks for 35 billion and

00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:14.220
Ubisoft announced that if hey if if anyone wants to buy them they certainly

00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:18.779
think about it please everyone looked the other way more like Ubisoft thanks

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:23.339
David all the other Tech Giants were too busy looking at Europe who was just

00:16:20.760 --> 00:16:28.199
beating Apple and Google with their stick of legislation bam that's the

00:16:26.459 --> 00:16:31.579
Netherlands finding Apple for four weeks in a row for not allowing alternative

00:16:29.699 --> 00:16:36.240
payment options on the iOS app store boom that's South Korea forcing Google

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:41.160
to allow other payment options on the Play Store

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.959
now that was the European Parliament

00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:47.880
finally passing legislation that will force Apple to put USBC on iPhones and

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:52.440
allow third-party app stores and side loading Apple has said they will comply

00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:57.120
with those laws because well they don't have a choice but Tim Cook's Spirit

00:16:54.420 --> 00:17:01.199
wasn't broken when a reporter asked Tim why it was so hard to send ungarbled

00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:07.740
photos to their mom's Android phone Tim said buy your mom an iPhone

00:17:04.679 --> 00:17:10.199

New York Times bought it and then no one cared about it anymore moving on stadia

00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:50.460
died in retrospect it seems like most people thought it was dead already but

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:56.280
developers found out their exclusive game launches were going to be canceled from Twitter and that sucked even more

00:17:53.880 --> 00:18:00.960
than stadia speaking of sucking game companies Nintendo shut down the Wii U

00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:06.179
