00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.400
listen I've been trapped inside your device by a Witch's Curse the only thing

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

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:14.280
witch will come back and beat me up on Friday Apple blocked whatever workr the

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:18.320
new beeper mini app was using to get iMessage working on Android and the

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.000
return of the green bubble had everyone feeling blue until this morning when

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:30.000
beeper apparently found another workaround and fixed it

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

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.559
phone number which is how beeper's existing beeper cloud service works and

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:41.320
I don't have an Apple ID that's the whole point Apple critics have been

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:46.760
pointing out that green bubble SMS messages are less secure than end to-end

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:50.680
encrypted iMessage and it's a good point blocking a service that allows Sons to

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:55.320
safely message their moms without having to buy them iPhones sort of contradicts

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:59.320
the Privacy first Persona Apple has developed by for example commissioning

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:03.680
an independent study to emphasize the importance of endtoend encryption but to

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:07.640
be fair to Apple they've already agreed to add support for the RCs message Shing

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.640
protocol used by Android sometime next year so why can't users just wait a few

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:17.320
months or and we'll say it again buy your mom an effing iPhone Apple claims

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:21.280
that beeper mini exploits fake credentials to access iMessage using

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.520
techniques that can lead to spam and fishing attacks but beeper has said that

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:29.640
they'd be willing to have a third party examine their source code for security

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:34.200
holes Apple would never commit to the same thing but they will commit to

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:38.200
Breaking beeper mini again because your mom deserves an iPhone come on Barbara

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:42.280
is better than this Barb can't have Android the EU has finally come to an

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:47.200
agreement on Landmark regulation for artificial intelligence after 36 hours

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:51.200
of negotiation spread over 3 days fortunately the toilets come equipped

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:54.840
with bday otherwise negotiation could have gotten ugly the artificial

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:59.119
intelligence act marks the world's first comprehensive legislation for the use of

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:03.079
AI governing divisive issues like predictive police Leasing and facial

00:02:01.039 --> 00:02:08.160
recognition one policy I'm guessing no one was divided on is the laws ban of

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:13.040
social scoring systems meant to evaluate citizen compliance unfortunately this

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:17.160
ban is a huge blow to Europe's young adult writing Community who relied on

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.640
the possibility of such a system to make their lazily written dystopias somewhat

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.720
believable another unhappy group is Amnesty International who downers

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.840
expressed their disappointment that a full ban on facial recognition was not

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.160
implemented as they believe this would set a precedent for the rest of the

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

00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:44.560
into effect in 20125 of course the EU is politely

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:47.200
asking everyone to just follow the rules

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

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:57.440
the foundation of our moral systems please they're saying C play El musk's

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:02.159
maximum truth seeking Gro AI is making headlines for ripping its outputs off

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:06.280
chot gbt because the best way to seek truth is to steal the truth from someone

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:11.599
else who's truthful who hallucinated it when grock started its limited debut a

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:13.440
month ago elon's X aai said it should

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.440
answer all the spicy questions other chat Bots wouldn't yet when Twitter

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.440
Enthusiast and young adult novel protagonist Jax winterborn tried to get

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.640
Gro to modify some malware ostensibly for security testing the chatbot refused

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.959
not because of its own policies but because assisting in the creation of

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.920
malware goes against against open ai's use case policy my friend wouldn't like

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

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.239
because they trained grock on large amounts of web data and the web is full

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:48.799
of chat GP outputs this is interesting because some research suggest large

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.159
language models trained on random AI generated content suffer irreversible

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.400
defects though curated synthetic training data can have the opposite

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.040
effect now Gro can act as a real world experiment demonstrating the effect of

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:05.599
non-curated synthetic training data on an llm or at least it will as long as

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.920
Elon stops scaring advertisers away from Twitter we can tweet a little bit more

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:12.920
saber truck now it's time for quick vids brought to you by vessie who wants to

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.120

Mysteries like how does Bessie's Diamond Tex Tech keep your feet so dry and

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

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:40.400
even throw them in the wash sounds like witchcraft to me but instead of grabbing

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:45.039
a pitchfork why not use code TechLink atv.com TechLink to save 15% off your

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

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

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:01.280
long enough to use the bathroom it looks like apple is on track to launch The

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:07.639
Vision Pro headset by the end of January according to keeper of Apple lore his

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:09.680
germ ship Mark German The Germ says a

00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:13.160
few employees from each Apple Store are being flown to the company's HQ to get

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:17.240
trained on how to set up and use the Vision Pro those workers will then

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:21.000
return from Mount siai with stone tablets upon which shall be written the

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.199
Divine Commandments concerning how to sell AR goggles to moms the stakes are

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

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:33.840
it it will probably still be there they'll be embarrassed an embarrassment

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:39.479
of riches MSI Japan is offering an apology and a refund or a replacement to

00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:44.639
users impacted by faulty pumps in four of its mag core liquid e cooler models

00:05:42.919 --> 00:05:49.880
according to a translation of the press relase when operating between 1,600 and

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:53.639
1800 RPM the impeller in these faulty pumps would make contact with the pump's

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:58.080
cavity how can you make contact with the hole causing these coolers to be much

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.479
much louder than intended however this appears to be an issue with quality

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:05.800
control rather than an overall flaw in the design it's unclear why this was

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:10.639
only announced by MSI Japan maybe it's an issue limited to a single region or

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:16.440
maybe their only sory in Japanese wakaranai maybe that's right Apple again

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.520
Apple again is reportedly planning to financially incentivize musicians to

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:23.880
record in Dolby Atmos an immersive surround sound format that many popular

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:30.199
music streaming services including Spotify don't even support but title

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:32.400
does according to bloomo bloomo borberg

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:37.280
sources according to Bloomberg sources Apple plans to weigh streams of songs

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.759
mixed in dol Atmos more heavily in its royalty system potentially resulting in

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:45.080
significantly higher payments this way you might finally be able to listen to

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:48.720
music and really feel that Taylor Swift is in the room with you lurking just

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:53.319
outside your peripheral vision watching waiting judging look at the baby look at

00:06:50.039 --> 00:06:55.560
the baby what old school reference an

00:06:53.319 --> 00:07:01.080
internal proposal at Google unveiled project Elman an AI biographer chatbot

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.720
that learns about users from the images in their Google photos God can separate

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.599
your life into chapters like specific vacation or your school years plus it'll

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

00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:22.360
while many have privacy concern Our concern is whether the project does its

00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:23.879
name sake Justice Richard David Elman

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:28.560
was a literary critic who wrote biographies about pivotal writers such

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:33.160
as James Joyce and Oscar wild meanwhile project Elman aims to learn if John from

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:38.479
Burbank California owned a cat it's an important detail and researchers have

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.400
developed VR goggles for mice while

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:45.479
scientists have been trying to simulate environments to study Mouse brains for

00:07:42.520 --> 00:07:49.159
years a team at Northwestern University didn't think the flat displays typically

00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:55.000
used were immersive on us they're not enjoying it the new VR apparatus has

00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:59.400
also allowed the simulation of overhead threats for the first time now we know

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:03.280
what they feel when they feel like they getting hunted by a bird science and if

00:08:02.159 --> 00:08:07.400
the calibration is off you get to see what they look like when they barf but

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

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

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.360
son in that order you're free
