Tech news I dabble you I just just put my

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.120
fingers in you know just like put my little things in I just bathe my entire

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:16.440
body in it every day you know just whatever can you believe like lonus just

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.039
pays like Apple's Vision Pro reviews are

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:23.199
out right now from those apple deemed worthy the consensus on the device seems

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:28.840
to be that while the future may not be here it's definitely somewhere

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:33.399
nearby they can smell it the vision Pros displays are reported ly crisp as a

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.760
granny smith and its pass through mode has minimal latency which will hopefully

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:43.600
minimize injury when you decide to live in this thing full time to get your

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:46.079
money's worth 3500 at 1.3 lb or roughly

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:49.760
the weight of a prehibernation hedgehog it's a relatively heavy headset have you

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:53.320
ever held a hedgehog have you ever strapped one to your face not more than

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.559
once it's a heavy headset and that's not including the wearable battery the hand

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:02.480
eye control interface is really impressive but perhaps unsurprisingly

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:07.080
its floating intangible keyboard is next to useless despite how it looked in

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:12.200
early demos eyesight the vision Pro's digital representation of the user's

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.080
eyes on the external display is deep in

The Uncanny Valley and attempting to hold a conversation or host a dinner

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:23.439
party with the headset on will earn nothing but your spouse's

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:28.840
contempt reviewers are also pointing out that the Vision Pro still lacks any real

00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:30.920
killer apps at a time when Apple is not

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:35.200
exactly making friends with third party developers through their iOS and app

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.360
rule changes in the EU though as much as Apple's wal Garden approach might

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:43.799
alienate potential devs that's got to be part of the appeal for some consumers a

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:47.719
polished AR headset that will easily slot into your existing network of

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:54.159
accounts and devices just like marrying your high school sweetheart we are meant

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:57.000
to be together Barbara Forever Barbara

00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.799
Barbara Diablo streamer Elon Musk announced on Twitter this week that

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:06.280
neuralink has played placed its first brain computer interface in a human

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:11.000
subject it's happened according to musk initial results show promising neuron

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:15.080
Spike detection and the patient is recovering well and that's great to hear

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.319
especially considering who the patients are in these early human trials

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.599
individuals who are quadriplegic due to spinal cord injuries or ALS it would

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:27.440
usually be nearly impossible for a company to convince Regulators to allow

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:31.760
them to perform experimental non-essential brain surgery on an

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:36.800
otherwise healthy patient however neural Link's first planned implant apparently

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.640
called telepathy is intended to allow recipients to communicate directly with

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.879
a computer which can then decode that message and interpret how the user

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.840
intends to move which has obvious potential to improve the lives of people

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.200
with significant physical limitations similar implants from other firms have

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.879
already been used to bypass damaged neurons and allow paralyzed patients to

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:02.560
regain some control over their existing limbs on the more sci-fi of things musk

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.159
likewise said that the implant might also one day allow users to control

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:11.720
almost any device just by thinking sounds cool but I personally dread the

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:16.640
day when I can accidentally butt dial my mom by way of a particularly Vivid

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:21.959
nightmare or even worse a sexy nightmare General Motors is jumping on the plug-in

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:27.080
hybrid train the exact same train they jumped off of back in 2019 when they

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:31.400
killed the highly efficient pH Chevy Volt turns out the Vault wasn't a bad

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:35.879
idea just an idea before it's time because nobody knew what a fev was back

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:41.640
in 2018 when we were all listening to Drake and dinosaurs roamed the

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.480
Earth however it turns out there are a significant number of North American

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:50.000
drivers who really would like to spend less on gas but can't justify the jump

00:03:47.959 --> 00:03:54.720
to Pure battery electric due to its limited range this has left dealerships

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:59.720
with a surplus of EVs and carbon reduction quotas they can't hope to meet

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:05.000
right now those dealers in turn have put pressure on GM to bring back plug-in

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.879
hybrids GM has likewise backtracked on

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.560
its decision early last year to kill the Chevy bolt with a B the light and

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:18.040
efficient battery electric car that made up over 80% of GM's EV sales in 2023

00:04:15.799 --> 00:04:24.360
this is a trend that extends far beyond GM BMW is expanding both its EV and phv

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:29.120
lineups and Mazda will also be debuting its first plug-in hybrid this year with

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:33.479
the cx90 Lamborghini isn't planning on a fully electric vehicle until 2028 but

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:39.759
they launched their first plug-in hybrid in 2023 which they'll be following with

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:42.520
a phev version of their Urus SUV this

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:46.039
year Urus and you know gas prices are bad when the Lamborghini owners jump

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:50.800
ship I'm under the impression you buy a Lamborghini specifically to burn gas now

Senate Judiciary Committee held a major hearing on the issue of child safety and

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:48.360
exploitation online where they questioned the CEOs of Discord snap meta

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.479
Tik Tok and the website formerly known as Twitter you know the bad boys of tech

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:57.240
leading up to the hearing companies tried to get ahead of any accusations

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:03.000
snap came out in support of the kids online safety act and swore not to enact

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:07.479
endtoend encryption in order to continue scanning messages for child abuse

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:30.960
really cares about this issue raising the bar after lowering it into the

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:33.319
ground a listing for NVIDIA rumored 6 GB

00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:37.599
edition of the RTX 3050 recently surfaced on a site for Australian

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.080
retailer ech that can only be described as disappointing if true the listing

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:47.520
which has since been removed shows a concerning drop in cacor of 20% compared

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:51.120
to the base model which already had an advantage of two additional gigabyt of

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.280
RAM earlier rumors indicated that the new card would either maintain core

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:57.960
count or see a drop of just 10% but

00:06:56.280 --> 00:07:01.599
maybe NVIDIA is just trying to let us down gently so by the the actual launch

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.919
we won't be disappointed to find it's just a single fan duct taped to a box of

00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:09.680
Lunchables at least it's Pizza it's not the worst rumor out there today though

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:15.039
that goes to Intel who are reportedly planning a refresh of their Raptor Lake

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:17.639
refresh Raptor Lake the refreshening

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:22.080
even refresher New York's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against City

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:32.199
refuse to reimburse millions of dollars in Lost funds by law US Banks must

00:07:29.479 --> 00:07:37.120
reimburse customers any funds stolen via unauthorized electronic transactions but

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:41.879
Citybank claims they are exempt because there was no indication their clients

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:46.479
were being deceived however one woman informed the bank after simply clicking

00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:51.080
on a suspicious Link in a text City Bank told her not to worry about it and 3

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:55.560
Days Later scammers transferred $40,000 out of her account if only she had

00:07:53.360 --> 00:08:00.120
indicated she had been deceived rather than overtly stating it it's supposed to

00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:04.479
you're supposed to kind of walk like go around it you know it's like flirting

00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:10.919
I've been deceived I don't believe you PayPal also known as Elon musk's first

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.800
stepchild announced it's cutting 2500

00:08:10.919 --> 00:08:17.440
jobs affecting both existing workers and job listings he's not even involved with

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:21.800
that any any anymore but we have to make a joke we were too nice to him during

00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:27.000
the neurolink story fellow fintech company block who owns square cash app

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:31.199
and afterpay announced it's laying off around a thousand people because cutting

00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:36.479
jobs is the newest Strat in the tech Corp meta as an extremely thin Silver

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:41.599
Lining you can know that these layoffs aren't coming cheap Google expects to

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.880
spend $700 million on Severance this

00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:48.519
quarter but it only cost me 10 bucks to watch the whole first season on Apple TV

00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:52.360
plus why is Google so bad with money it's a classic Jacob pun best show I've

00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:57.279
seen in a while though by the way I endorse it and car rental company Europe

00:08:54.760 --> 00:09:02.560
car said a massive leak of 50 million customer records posted on a hacker form

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:06.360
were actually generated by chat GPT showing that at least AI dos out

00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:11.600
misinformation to upstanding citizens and criminals alike however Europe car

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:16.120
may be in the misinfo business too Troy hunt the security researcher behind have

00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:20.480
iin pone.com responded to the story with a strong claim that this kind of data

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.600
fabrication doesn't need generative AI at all it's just on everyone's brains

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.800
all the time right now thanks to stories like this one about yet another lawyer

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:33.279
getting caught citing a non-existent court case thanks to chat G PT or this

00:09:31.079 --> 00:09:37.240
one about an alarm clock on Kickstarter that displays AI generated poems to tell

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:41.760
you the time in the least efficient way possible especially because it gets both

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.360
the time and basic English words wrong so you have to check an actual clock

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:49.720
anyway it's going to change everything meanwhile all you have to do is check

00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:53.360
