hey guys are you ready for the tech news no too bad Samsung held their Galaxy
unpacked event today conveniently in Paris where their 30,000 striking
workers are not Samsung launched the Galaxy Z fold 6 and flip 6 both of which
are quite similar to their predecessors but with a $100 price hike and new AI
features the Galaxy watch 7 boasts a new processor and AI Health tracking while
the Galaxy watch Ultra looks so much like like the Apple watch Ultra that
Samsung should probably order a paternity test I don't know why but I
thought that I was going to hear like myy voices from over there and you are
not the fathers the new design for the Galaxy buds 3 and 3 Pro likewise take
clear influence from Apple's airpods in the same way that school kids
occasionally take influence from their neighbors answers during tests today
also marked the official launch of Samsung's newest wearable smart device
the Galaxy Ring which Samsung is primarily positioning as a health and
fitness tracker think of it like a smartwatch but smaller and it goes on
your finger this is far from the first smart ring on the market but Samsung is
the first major tech company to offer one which raises the probability that
someone will try to propose with a ring that tracks the user's heartbeat and
menstrual cycle you definitely shouldn't do that but hey you can now Microsoft
has stepped down from its short-lived Observer seat on open ai's board Apple
which only Rec recently earned its right in a similar seat will apparently be
doing the same a big motivator appears to be the increased regulatory scrutiny
on the AI industry in general and on Microsoft's relationship with open AI in
particular while the European commission dropped its probe into Microsoft and
open AI back in June that doesn't mean the danger of a full-blown antitrust
investigation has entirely passed in the EU or the US of course Microsoft has
only stated that Observer position is no longer necess Neary as open ai's new
board has made significant progress since Microsoft's representative joined
in November instead open AI plans to hold regular meetings with all of its
investors which just so happens to include apple and Microsoft in another
move possibly intended to reduce regulatory scrutiny in the United States
open AI has blocked access to its services in China to be clear the
Chinese government already had blocked open AI via its extensive firewall but
some Chinese developers were the less accessing open AI tools using vpns it's
like how your ex technically has you blocked on social media but you've got
to be the one to block that sock puppet account that she uses to check whether
you've started dating again an online mob of Pennsylvania middle schoolers has
been implicated in the mass cyberbullying of around 20 teachers at
their school it was discovered that the children had created 22 fake Tik Tok
accounts impersonating their teachers using clips and images from those
teachers personal social media accounts many were edited to include lwd and
offensive jokes and even implications of sexual misconduct and criminal behavior
proving once again that eighth graders are the meanest people in the world
while some of these posts might be protected from government action under
the children's right to free speech undisclosed impersonation and parody is
against Tik tok's terms of service and thus the accounts were quickly taken
down several students were temporarily suspended and worse their parents were
notified at least some of the affected teachers claim that the incident has
made them question their career in education and the effect that social
media has had on the children's capacity for empathy however some of us here
remember going to school in the '90s and early 2000s and regret to inform them
that 13-year-olds have always been monsters and are rarely restrained by
the laws of God or man for the good of humanity some things definitely need to
be restrained just ask our sponsor manscaped if you want to take care of

well the Q you stands for Quantum while the rest stands for ibits multiple
governments have secretly restricted the export of quantum computers with
identical regulations it's likely because quantum mechanics involves a
mysterious force that politicians fear because they don't understand it I
believe it's called math though if you ask some of the countries that have
these restrictions like the UK Spain Canada and more they'll tell you that
it's a national security concern a powerful technology that could benefit
Society but in the wrong hands it could cause massive harm to Nations and their
citizens fair enough multiple governments but did you hear about this
AI thing though I can't wait till middle schoolers are using quantum computers to
bully their teachers hell yeah this folding keyboard contains an entire
ryzen 7 PC thanks to a Chinese company and doorbell onamonapia Ling long while
you can plug in any display with USBC the manufacturer apparently recommends
AR or VR glasses the onboard ryzen 7 84u
is powerful enough for some gaming but the battery can take only about 4 hours
of that it's not available yet but just imagine the power move it'll be in the
future to pull out a pair of AR glasses and a full keyboard when someone tries
to initiate conversation on the bus according to a new Business Insider
report Tesla apparently gives special weight to training data of its
self-driving cars when it comes to certain VIPs including YouTubers online
influencers and Elon Musk himself moreover both current and former Tesla
employees claim that they were told to focus more resources on routes
frequently driven by these VIPs meaning that Tesla's autopilot probably
navigates those routes much better than it does on the average Road this means
that as a Tesla owner one of your best ways to improve your Driving Experience
is to secretly live in Elon musk's attic or become an influencer it's been a
rocky roll out for Google's find my device network with its users
complaining that it isn't great at finding stuff but Google claims that
their Network only sucks because of a one-of-a-kind default privacy protection
option called not actually tracking you or a nerdword aggregation by default
this means that trackers only ping locations when connected to many devices
instead of just one to prevent unwanted tracking Noble for sure but that doesn't
help with Google's reputation of being completely useless when it comes to
search and UK politician slre human Mark
Matlock wants to know that he is not AI
a tweet went viral questioning the humanness of his gorgeous smooth skin
thick wiry hair and musky baby trapped inside the Flesh of a grown man good
looks not helping the AI allegations he was a no-show at the election turns out
he is real but he was homesick with pneumonia which he claims was treated
with vitamins and exercise ironically the exact kind of horrible Health advice
I'd expect to be given from chat GPT in defense of the original tweet there
wasn't actual AI candidate who ran on brighten named AI Steve unsurprisingly
AI Steve was not elected and received fewer votes than the citizen sketh of
the monster raving Looney party and frankly you'd have to be a monster
raving Looney to not come back on Friday for more Tech news have a good day bye
