00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:05.720
it's time for Tech news where we report on the technology that will eventually

00:00:03.899 --> 00:00:10.620
replace us and report on itself Microsoft is accelerating development of

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:15.480
its own AI chip to avoid Reliance on NVIDIA's products the chips have been in

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:19.920
the works since at least 2019 are built on tsmc's five nanometer process and are

00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:24.600
known internally as project Athena because perhaps nothing says god of

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:28.500
wisdom and War like modern AI select employees at Microsoft and openai

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:33.300
already have access to the new chips for testing with large language models or

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

00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:42.540
whether they will truly rival NVIDIA's own high level AI chips but they don't

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:46.980
really have to considering that llms take tens of thousands of gpus and

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:51.420
NVIDIA h100s are selling for over forty thousand dollars on eBay Microsoft

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:55.440
stands to save bundles by simply using its own in-house chips it could make

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.980
even more by offering those ships to its Azure customers though it's not clear

00:00:57.059 --> 00:01:03.059
whether the company will sell access to them the total number number of

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.260
high-level gpus NVIDIA can pump out is a major bottleneck to AI development so

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.799
just imagine how much faster Microsoft will be able to stitch Bing chat's brain

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:14.640
back together the next time Sydney goes off the deep end the New York police

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.020
department has announced a series of high-tech additions to their Arsenal

00:01:16.619 --> 00:01:24.659
including at least two R2D2 looking security droids if R2D2 was for sitting

00:01:22.259 --> 00:01:28.979
on a gun that shoots tracking devices and two police Digi dogs some of you

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:33.780
might recognize these as Boston dynamics's spot model which does

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:38.220
resemble a dog in the sense that it has four legs and a massive camera sticking

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:41.880
out of its ass right there officer that's where I was

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.540
cameraed that's how you get the dog snooze you put the camera right in the

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:50.040
dog's ass the dog robots were actually first contracted by the NYPD two years

00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:54.180
ago before the contract was canceled because critics found it creepy and

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.579
dystopian what what crazy now they've acquired two for

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:04.320
seventy five thousand dollars each using acid forfeiture funds which is money and

00:02:01.979 --> 00:02:09.360
property taken for people who may or may not have committed a crime so don't

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.780
worry it's not tax dollars the police stole it fair and square as for the

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:17.099
security droids they're essentially just mobile cameras that cruise around at a

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:22.140
brisk walking pace like Space Age trash cans they will initially be chaperoned

00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:25.500
by a human police officer presumably to prevent them from getting jumped in an

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:29.940
Alleyway and forcibly decommissioned by a bat with a nail through it

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:35.700
or to just pick them up if they fall over they look very bottom heavy yeah

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:40.260
push mirror to cow tipping try robot tipping and Reddit has announced that it

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.580
will be charging businesses that use its API meaning that AI developers will no

00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:48.360
longer be allowed to use Reddit as a free will of training data instead

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:53.040
they'll have to pay for access to the world's Premier slurry of product

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:55.019
reviews memes and unhinged bigotry the

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.580
exact price AI devs will have to pay is currently unknown but according to the

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.379
announcement the changes are primarily directed at third parties who require

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:09.300
additional capabilities higher usage limits and broader usage rights and will

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:13.860
take effect following a 60-day notice period the motive for the changes was

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:17.280
unstated but Reddit is planning to go public later this year and the

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.519
possibility of garnering future profits from companies seeking to train their

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:26.220
large language models could change reddit's valuation immensely

00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:31.140
EO Steve Huffman described the company's authentic conversations as particularly

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

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:37.500
say in therapy or AA or never at all

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

00:03:39.540 --> 00:03:45.239
anyone ever very authentic though authentically

00:03:43.739 --> 00:03:49.620
racist nothing hits like a hard r on Reddit now

00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:55.440

00:04:42.780 --> 00:04:48.660
and code Weavers have released a major update to proton the compatibility layer

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.800
that allows Windows games to run on the steam decks Linux OS the 8.0 update

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.560
comes with a lot of minor patches and improvements but also allows Linux users

00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:02.100
to play hotly awaited games like forespoken well

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:09.240
the Dead Space remake that's pretty good and of course Jack's Quest HD

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.419
we did it boys we did it Arch is

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.940
complete finally the true 90s gaming

00:05:12.419 --> 00:05:18.360
experience playing a Serial themed Doom clone you get free in a box of checks

00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:23.460
because your mom thought that 2D blood in the original was too violent

00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:27.000
shut up you little brat don't make mom come down there

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

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:36.240
chat gbt because we already have ai at home employees who tested Bard are

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.220
giving it glowing criticisms one tester

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:43.080
called the AI cringe-worthy and another called it a pathological liar in

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:49.080
response to these criticisms Bard told me privately Milady as a 32 year old

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.460
mother of three I'm doing my best tips Fedora he wrote out tips Fedora

00:05:51.419 --> 00:05:57.300
obviously and also none of that happened I made it up Bungie has decided to

00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:01.740
expand the anti-cheating policies in Destiny 2. specifically to curb the use

00:05:59.820 --> 00:06:06.600
of things like programmable controllers and keyboard adapters that allow complex

00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:10.440
macros and aim assist Activision has done basically the same thing but Bungie

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.340
has recognized the need to balance restricting cheating and maintaining

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:18.000
accessibility through adaptive controllers while I don't use an

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:22.380
Adaptive controller since I'm only disabled on the inside I applaud the

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:27.180
effort to find a solution for all Gamers the US's National reconnaissance office

00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:31.440
plans to launch a sensor satellite prototype into space within the next

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:35.880
year that will be able to track moving targets back down on Earth the nro's

00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:40.440
director says the sensor will provide day night all weather detection and

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:43.800
tracking of ground and Maritime targets but what if I stand still US Government

00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:48.780
bet you didn't think of that now did you the Visions based on movement stand

00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:54.120
completely still and after 20 25 years Netflix will be

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:59.280
ending its DVD mail service leading to the obvious question wait Netflix was

00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:04.919
still sending DVDs in the mail yes yes it was apparently Netflix's DVD division

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:09.180
remained popular with Die Hard fans even as its streaming service metastasized

00:07:06.900 --> 00:07:13.520
and took over because it offered a range of obscure titles that simply weren't

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.520
available online

00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:20.900
if you're not getting as close to Snuff as you possibly can while remaining

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:26.460
legal is it even Cinema it belongs in a museum But continuing a

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:31.259
quality product with a dedicated fan base isn't exactly Netflix's Mo so

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

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

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.539
understand you don't appreciate me it's fine

00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:48.500
and I brought you your ladder
