1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,720
it's time for Tech news where we report on the technology that will eventually

2
00:00:03,899 --> 00:00:10,620
replace us and report on itself Microsoft is accelerating development of

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:15,480
its own AI chip to avoid Reliance on NVIDIA's products the chips have been in

4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:19,920
the works since at least 2019 are built on tsmc's five nanometer process and are

5
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:24,600
known internally as project Athena because perhaps nothing says god of

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:28,500
wisdom and War like modern AI select employees at Microsoft and openai

7
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:33,300
already have access to the new chips for testing with large language models or

8
00:00:30,539 --> 00:00:37,980
llms and we might see a full launch as early as next year it's uncertain yet

9
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:42,540
whether they will truly rival NVIDIA's own high level AI chips but they don't

10
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:46,980
really have to considering that llms take tens of thousands of gpus and

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,420
NVIDIA h100s are selling for over forty thousand dollars on eBay Microsoft

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,440
stands to save bundles by simply using its own in-house chips it could make

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,980
even more by offering those ships to its Azure customers though it's not clear

14
00:00:57,059 --> 00:01:03,059
whether the company will sell access to them the total number number of

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,260
high-level gpus NVIDIA can pump out is a major bottleneck to AI development so

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,799
just imagine how much faster Microsoft will be able to stitch Bing chat's brain

17
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:14,640
back together the next time Sydney goes off the deep end the New York police

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,020
department has announced a series of high-tech additions to their Arsenal

19
00:01:16,619 --> 00:01:24,659
including at least two R2D2 looking security droids if R2D2 was for sitting

20
00:01:22,259 --> 00:01:28,979
on a gun that shoots tracking devices and two police Digi dogs some of you

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,780
might recognize these as Boston dynamics's spot model which does

22
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:38,220
resemble a dog in the sense that it has four legs and a massive camera sticking

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,880
out of its ass right there officer that's where I was

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,540
cameraed that's how you get the dog snooze you put the camera right in the

25
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:50,040
dog's ass the dog robots were actually first contracted by the NYPD two years

26
00:01:47,939 --> 00:01:54,180
ago before the contract was canceled because critics found it creepy and

27
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,579
dystopian what what crazy now they've acquired two for

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,320
seventy five thousand dollars each using acid forfeiture funds which is money and

29
00:02:01,979 --> 00:02:09,360
property taken for people who may or may not have committed a crime so don't

30
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:12,780
worry it's not tax dollars the police stole it fair and square as for the

31
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:17,099
security droids they're essentially just mobile cameras that cruise around at a

32
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:22,140
brisk walking pace like Space Age trash cans they will initially be chaperoned

33
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:25,500
by a human police officer presumably to prevent them from getting jumped in an

34
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:29,940
Alleyway and forcibly decommissioned by a bat with a nail through it

35
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:35,700
or to just pick them up if they fall over they look very bottom heavy yeah

36
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:40,260
push mirror to cow tipping try robot tipping and Reddit has announced that it

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,580
will be charging businesses that use its API meaning that AI developers will no

38
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:48,360
longer be allowed to use Reddit as a free will of training data instead

39
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:53,040
they'll have to pay for access to the world's Premier slurry of product

40
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:55,019
reviews memes and unhinged bigotry the

41
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,580
exact price AI devs will have to pay is currently unknown but according to the

42
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,379
announcement the changes are primarily directed at third parties who require

43
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:09,300
additional capabilities higher usage limits and broader usage rights and will

44
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:13,860
take effect following a 60-day notice period the motive for the changes was

45
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:17,280
unstated but Reddit is planning to go public later this year and the

46
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,519
possibility of garnering future profits from companies seeking to train their

47
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:26,220
large language models could change reddit's valuation immensely

48
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:31,140
EO Steve Huffman described the company's authentic conversations as particularly

49
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:35,519
valuable to llms saying there's a lot of stuff on the site that you'd only ever

50
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:37,500
say in therapy or AA or never at all

51
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:40,440
yeah there's also a lot of stuff on that site that no one should ever say to

52
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:45,239
anyone ever very authentic though authentically

53
00:03:43,739 --> 00:03:49,620
racist nothing hits like a hard r on Reddit now

54
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:55,440
it's time for quick bits brought to you by guardio hacks can happen trust us we

67
00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:48,660
and code Weavers have released a major update to proton the compatibility layer

68
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,800
that allows Windows games to run on the steam decks Linux OS the 8.0 update

69
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,560
comes with a lot of minor patches and improvements but also allows Linux users

70
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:02,100
to play hotly awaited games like forespoken well

71
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:09,240
the Dead Space remake that's pretty good and of course Jack's Quest HD

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,419
we did it boys we did it Arch is

73
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,940
complete finally the true 90s gaming

74
00:05:12,419 --> 00:05:18,360
experience playing a Serial themed Doom clone you get free in a box of checks

75
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:23,460
because your mom thought that 2D blood in the original was too violent

76
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:27,000
shut up you little brat don't make mom come down there

77
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:31,020
I've been working hard while Google is trying to convince us that we don't need

78
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:36,240
chat gbt because we already have ai at home employees who tested Bard are

79
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,220
giving it glowing criticisms one tester

80
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,080
called the AI cringe-worthy and another called it a pathological liar in

81
00:05:40,919 --> 00:05:49,080
response to these criticisms Bard told me privately Milady as a 32 year old

82
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,460
mother of three I'm doing my best tips Fedora he wrote out tips Fedora

83
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:57,300
obviously and also none of that happened I made it up Bungie has decided to

84
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,740
expand the anti-cheating policies in Destiny 2. specifically to curb the use

85
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:06,600
of things like programmable controllers and keyboard adapters that allow complex

86
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:10,440
macros and aim assist Activision has done basically the same thing but Bungie

87
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:14,340
has recognized the need to balance restricting cheating and maintaining

88
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:18,000
accessibility through adaptive controllers while I don't use an

89
00:06:16,259 --> 00:06:22,380
Adaptive controller since I'm only disabled on the inside I applaud the

90
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:27,180
effort to find a solution for all Gamers the US's National reconnaissance office

91
00:06:25,139 --> 00:06:31,440
plans to launch a sensor satellite prototype into space within the next

92
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:35,880
year that will be able to track moving targets back down on Earth the nro's

93
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:40,440
director says the sensor will provide day night all weather detection and

94
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:43,800
tracking of ground and Maritime targets but what if I stand still US Government

95
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:48,780
bet you didn't think of that now did you the Visions based on movement stand

96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:54,120
completely still and after 20 25 years Netflix will be

97
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:59,280
ending its DVD mail service leading to the obvious question wait Netflix was

98
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:04,919
still sending DVDs in the mail yes yes it was apparently Netflix's DVD division

99
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:09,180
remained popular with Die Hard fans even as its streaming service metastasized

100
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:13,520
and took over because it offered a range of obscure titles that simply weren't

101
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:13,520
available online

102
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,900
if you're not getting as close to Snuff as you possibly can while remaining

103
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,460
legal is it even Cinema it belongs in a museum But continuing a

104
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:31,259
quality product with a dedicated fan base isn't exactly Netflix's Mo so

105
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:36,840
naturally it had to die but Tech news Never Dies so come back on Friday I mean

106
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:42,360
you wouldn't want to disappoint me right unless you you hate me no no it's fine I

107
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,539
understand you don't appreciate me it's fine

108
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:48,500
and I brought you your ladder
