1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,400
listen I've been trapped inside your device by a Witch's Curse the only thing

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,800
that will free me is telling you all my tech news so please pay attention or the

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:14,280
witch will come back and beat me up on Friday Apple blocked whatever workr the

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,320
new beeper mini app was using to get iMessage working on Android and the

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,000
return of the green bubble had everyone feeling blue until this morning when

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:30,000
beeper apparently found another workaround and fixed it

7
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:33,559
a the catch is you'll have to sign in with your Apple ID instead of just your

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,559
phone number which is how beeper's existing beeper cloud service works and

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,320
I don't have an Apple ID that's the whole point Apple critics have been

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,760
pointing out that green bubble SMS messages are less secure than end to-end

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,680
encrypted iMessage and it's a good point blocking a service that allows Sons to

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,320
safely message their moms without having to buy them iPhones sort of contradicts

13
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,320
the Privacy first Persona Apple has developed by for example commissioning

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,680
an independent study to emphasize the importance of endtoend encryption but to

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,640
be fair to Apple they've already agreed to add support for the RCs message Shing

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,640
protocol used by Android sometime next year so why can't users just wait a few

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,320
months or and we'll say it again buy your mom an effing iPhone Apple claims

18
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:21,280
that beeper mini exploits fake credentials to access iMessage using

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,520
techniques that can lead to spam and fishing attacks but beeper has said that

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,640
they'd be willing to have a third party examine their source code for security

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:34,200
holes Apple would never commit to the same thing but they will commit to

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,200
Breaking beeper mini again because your mom deserves an iPhone come on Barbara

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,280
is better than this Barb can't have Android the EU has finally come to an

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:47,200
agreement on Landmark regulation for artificial intelligence after 36 hours

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,200
of negotiation spread over 3 days fortunately the toilets come equipped

26
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:54,840
with bday otherwise negotiation could have gotten ugly the artificial

27
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:59,119
intelligence act marks the world's first comprehensive legislation for the use of

28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,079
AI governing divisive issues like predictive police Leasing and facial

29
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:08,160
recognition one policy I'm guessing no one was divided on is the laws ban of

30
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:13,040
social scoring systems meant to evaluate citizen compliance unfortunately this

31
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:17,160
ban is a huge blow to Europe's young adult writing Community who relied on

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,640
the possibility of such a system to make their lazily written dystopias somewhat

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,720
believable another unhappy group is Amnesty International who downers

34
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,840
expressed their disappointment that a full ban on facial recognition was not

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,160
implemented as they believe this would set a precedent for the rest of the

36
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:38,120
world but maybe they have time to change the eu's mind since the law only comes

37
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:44,560
into effect in 20125 of course the EU is politely

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,200
asking everyone to just follow the rules

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,360
now I'm sure everyone unethically using AI to make a buck will get right on that

40
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:57,440
the foundation of our moral systems please they're saying C play El musk's

41
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:02,159
maximum truth seeking Gro AI is making headlines for ripping its outputs off

42
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,280
chot gbt because the best way to seek truth is to steal the truth from someone

43
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,599
else who's truthful who hallucinated it when grock started its limited debut a

44
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,440
month ago elon's X aai said it should

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,440
answer all the spicy questions other chat Bots wouldn't yet when Twitter

46
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Enthusiast and young adult novel protagonist Jax winterborn tried to get

47
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,640
Gro to modify some malware ostensibly for security testing the chatbot refused

48
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,959
not because of its own policies but because assisting in the creation of

49
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,920
malware goes against against open ai's use case policy my friend wouldn't like

50
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:40,920
that Igor babushkin from which is not a fake name I swear from xai said this is

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,239
because they trained grock on large amounts of web data and the web is full

52
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,799
of chat GP outputs this is interesting because some research suggest large

53
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,159
language models trained on random AI generated content suffer irreversible

54
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,400
defects though curated synthetic training data can have the opposite

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,040
effect now Gro can act as a real world experiment demonstrating the effect of

56
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,599
non-curated synthetic training data on an llm or at least it will as long as

57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,920
Elon stops scaring advertisers away from Twitter we can tweet a little bit more

64
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,639
comfortable and how are they so easy to clean you can rinse them in the sink or

65
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,400
even throw them in the wash sounds like witchcraft to me but instead of grabbing

66
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:45,039
a pitchfork why not use code TechLink atv.com TechLink to save 15% off your

67
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:50,360
purchase I mean where would you even find a pitchfork plus W speaking of

00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,400
Witchcraft I'm trapped here you're doing

69
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:57,080
great we just got to make it through these last Quick bits and I can finally reenter a state of Corporal being for

70
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,280
long enough to use the bathroom it looks like apple is on track to launch The

71
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:07,639
Vision Pro headset by the end of January according to keeper of Apple lore his

72
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,680
germ ship Mark German The Germ says a

73
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:13,160
few employees from each Apple Store are being flown to the company's HQ to get

74
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,240
trained on how to set up and use the Vision Pro those workers will then

75
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,000
return from Mount siai with stone tablets upon which shall be written the

76
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,199
Divine Commandments concerning how to sell AR goggles to moms the stakes are

77
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,680
high Apple's the richest company in the world and if this launch doesn't go well

78
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,840
it it will probably still be there they'll be embarrassed an embarrassment

79
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:39,479
of riches MSI Japan is offering an apology and a refund or a replacement to

80
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:44,639
users impacted by faulty pumps in four of its mag core liquid e cooler models

81
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:49,880
according to a translation of the press relase when operating between 1,600 and

82
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:53,639
1800 RPM the impeller in these faulty pumps would make contact with the pump's

83
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,080
cavity how can you make contact with the hole causing these coolers to be much

84
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,479
much louder than intended however this appears to be an issue with quality

85
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,800
control rather than an overall flaw in the design it's unclear why this was

86
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:10,639
only announced by MSI Japan maybe it's an issue limited to a single region or

87
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:16,440
maybe their only sory in Japanese wakaranai maybe that's right Apple again

88
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,520
Apple again is reportedly planning to financially incentivize musicians to

89
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,880
record in Dolby Atmos an immersive surround sound format that many popular

90
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:30,199
music streaming services including Spotify don't even support but title

91
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,400
does according to bloomo bloomo borberg

92
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:37,280
sources according to Bloomberg sources Apple plans to weigh streams of songs

93
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,759
mixed in dol Atmos more heavily in its royalty system potentially resulting in

94
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:45,080
significantly higher payments this way you might finally be able to listen to

95
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,720
music and really feel that Taylor Swift is in the room with you lurking just

96
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:53,319
outside your peripheral vision watching waiting judging look at the baby look at

internal proposal at Google unveiled project Elman an AI biographer chatbot

99
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,720
that learns about users from the images in their Google photos God can separate

100
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,599
your life into chapters like specific vacation or your school years plus it'll

101
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:16,720
have a chat bot that can answer questions about your life like if you forgot you know like if you have a pet

102
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:22,360
while many have privacy concern Our concern is whether the project does its

name sake Justice Richard David Elman

104
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:28,560
was a literary critic who wrote biographies about pivotal writers such

as James Joyce and Oscar wild meanwhile project Elman aims to learn if John from

Burbank California owned a cat it's an important detail and researchers have

107
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,400
developed VR goggles for mice while

108
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:45,479
scientists have been trying to simulate environments to study Mouse brains for

109
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:49,159
years a team at Northwestern University didn't think the flat displays typically

110
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:55,000
used were immersive on us they're not enjoying it the new VR apparatus has

111
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:59,400
also allowed the simulation of overhead threats for the first time now we know

112
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,280
what they feel when they feel like they getting hunted by a bird science and if

113
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:07,400
the calibration is off you get to see what they look like when they barf but

114
00:08:05,479 --> 00:08:11,039
15 minutes is way more time than you'll need to get caught up on Tech news when

115
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:18,360
we come back on Wednesday now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go pee and hug my

116
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,360
son in that order you're free
