1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,940
welcome to the show that's all about staying up to date on advancements in

2
00:00:03,899 --> 00:00:09,740
Tech it won't stop AI from taking over but at least we'll know when to start

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:14,639
helplessly watching as it all happens where's the popcorn Google held their

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,720
annual i o developer conference today and made several announcements related

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,279
to Ai and while we've all memed about Google getting leapfrogged by everyone

6
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:27,599
from open AI to your jobless uncle in his basement Google spent some time

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:32,279
talking about how to prevent AI from ruining everything something that sounds

8
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:37,140
kind of important Google will be launching Bard in 180 countries which is

9
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:42,360
basically all the ones that matter sorry North Korea and the Vatican in your face

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:47,460
principality of Sealand Google also showed off AI Integrations in its entire

11
00:00:45,059 --> 00:00:51,960
workplace Suite so you'll soon be able to use text prompts to draft emails

12
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:56,039
draft data tables generate visuals for slideshows and all kinds of boring work

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,699
stuff you don't want to do the future is here and for some reason it still

14
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:04,440
involves an ungodly number of memos and spreads sheets I thought we would have

15
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:08,880
dealt with that by now Google has made substantial improvements to vertex its

16
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:14,159
personalized AI product for corporations and even teased a version for individual

17
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:17,180
users called project Tailwind is that a

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:19,380
reference to that cool animated series

19
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:23,220
project Tailwind is a notebook that learns from your documents and acts as a

20
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,119
tutor and research assistant again that sounds cool but as I alluded to earlier

21
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:31,020
a major in emphasis of the announcement was Google's focus on an ethical

22
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:34,460
approach to AI including integrated tools to help users spot and

23
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:39,000
contextualize online misinformation metadata tagging for AI images and

24
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:43,460
guardrails against undisclosed deep fakes which sounds

25
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:48,840
genuinely good what is the strange emotion about the

26
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:52,680
future of technology I hope probably heartburn in terms of Google's

27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,700
Hardware announcements it's all pixels all day oddly they spend more time

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,840
discussing a feature that lets you make the poop emoji into your phone's

29
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:05,820
wallpaper than they did talking about the pixel 7A because bluntly it's one of

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:09,239
Google's best-selling product lines and they already know we're going to buy it

31
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:13,800
what most people are probably not going to buy is the much anticipated pixel

32
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,400
fold which starts at eighteen hundred dollars that's a lot of money to pay for

33
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:21,120
a phone whose primary features include 300 increase in breakability and the

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:25,440
option to take a selfie with the back camera pros and cons they're so it's

35
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,640
it's hard although it's important to point out Google says the pixel fold has

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,020
the best foldable camera system with the best zoom on a foldable which is also

37
00:02:31,739 --> 00:02:38,160
the thinnest foldable on the market all claims that we'll have to wait until

38
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:42,840
June to verify so for now all we can do is take them at face value a pretty face

39
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:47,640
it's probably true lastly Google showed off the new 11 inch pixel tablet which

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,980
can be set to hop mode and double as a nest Hub when you pop it on the included

41
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:57,060
magnetic charging dock magnets how do they work it's got a magnet in it it's

42
00:02:54,900 --> 00:03:01,200
also got Chromecast built in so you can cast your phone to your tablet and then

43
00:02:59,459 --> 00:03:06,599
presumably you could cast from your tablet to your TV and maybe if you're

44
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:12,720
lucky cast back from your TV onto your phone it's a paradox and that's how I

45
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:16,860
spent my Saturday the tablet's only 4.99 so I suggest buying three and taping

46
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:20,879
them together for a super duper extra big pixel fold just an idea and the

47
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Indian government has apparently banned 14 messaging apps many of them open

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,360
source citing National Security concerns specifically that concern is the

49
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,980
possibility that separatist insurgents in the Jammu and Kashmir regions are

50
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:38,459
using them to communicate I know I said those wrong the Indian government has

51
00:03:36,659 --> 00:03:43,080
long restricted these same regions to only 2G cell service on the same grounds

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,739
of restricting separatist organization efforts now as your friendly

53
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:49,920
neighborhood Canadian Tech reporters we're not going to comment on the

54
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:54,239
legitimacy of the Indian government's actions we will however point out that

55
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:59,640
there was a natural disaster somewhere in India on 88 of the days in the first

56
00:03:57,420 --> 00:04:03,000
nine months of last year and that's shutting off nearly every single

57
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:08,220
accessible form of communication to the general public is very likely to lead to

58
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,420
people not existing anymore because they're dead

59
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:16,440
Jacob what are you doing quiet peasant are you looking for love what if I told

60
00:04:14,459 --> 00:04:21,660

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:25,199
to our sponsor Paradox interactive Crusader Kings is a strategy

62
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:31,500
role-playing game that takes place in the Middle Ages be the king of your own

63
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:35,280

64
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:37,080

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:46,560
marriage power and influence the best part is now you can play for free from

67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,340
May 11th to 14th let's party like it's 9.99

68
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:55,860
quick bits are like a Disneyland day pass because you only get to go on your

69
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:59,040
five favorite rides and there's some guy who keeps talking the whole time am I

70
00:04:57,540 --> 00:05:03,479
the guy are you the guy fossil is dropping

71
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,280
support for watches made by Misfit the company fossil acquired in 2015. users

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,500
can no longer log into the companion app or website meaning they can't even set

73
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:16,620
the time making it less a watch and more like an unnecessarily expensive bracelet

74
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,000
so which some people buy fossil didn't even

75
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:25,380
announce anything and users who contacted customer service were only

76
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:30,720
offered a 30 discount to buy a Fossil watch which is amazing considering that

77
00:05:28,259 --> 00:05:34,699
you can get a 25 discount just by signing up for their email oh did I say

78
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:39,000
amazing I meant insulting

79
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:42,660
Spotify purged thousands of AI generated songs from its platform though not

80
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:47,880
because they embarrassed Drake by sounding better than anything he's released in years oh

81
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,979
who wrote that me that was nice better than Drake the

82
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:58,139
songs in question were made by a proprietary AI startup called boomi

83
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:03,180
Universal Music accused some songs of using Bots to inflate audience numbers

84
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:08,820
and Spotify eventually reinstated the songs which was a massive release to

85
00:06:05,580 --> 00:06:12,539
tens of AI music enjoyers what a relief

86
00:06:08,820 --> 00:06:15,660
there are dozens of us Roku the we have

87
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:17,580
Android TV at home company announced a

88
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:21,780
home security starter kit today that costs only a hundred dollars though it

89
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,419
doesn't include cameras it does include two entry sensors and a hub with a

90
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:32,400
built-in siren which is almost as good are you trying to seduce me

91
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,240
the company also announced Roku OS integration so that if you do buy a

92
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:39,780
camera you can watch it from the comfort of your Roku TV which is perfect for

93
00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:44,160
when you've already curled up in a blanket and would literally rather die

94
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,479
than leave your warmth cocoon to get up and do a 360 Sweep with your actual eyes

95
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:53,340
researchers in Italy have developed what they're calling the world's first fully

96
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,180
edible battery for some reason what you've never heard of a potato that's so

97
00:06:55,500 --> 00:07:02,819
embarrassing but unlike a potato this battery is

98
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:04,979
rechargeable much smaller and relatively

99
00:07:02,819 --> 00:07:10,919
low carb some of the components include edible seaweed activated charcoal and

100
00:07:08,039 --> 00:07:15,539
Beeswax yum yum yum in the future Technologies like this

101
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:19,740
could be used in toys for children since for years swallowing batteries has been

102
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,580
the biggest fad diet amongst Rich of suburban babies

103
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:30,300
oh no and Customs officials in Hong Kong have arrested two men for suspected

104
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:35,759
smuggling after being caught hauling 70 gpus and more importantly over 600

105
00:07:33,419 --> 00:07:41,160
pounds of live lobsters authorities claim that the combined value of silicon

106
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:43,080
and shellfish was worth over 76 thousand

107
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,120
dollars which is surprising because the gpus are nearly a decade old and only

108
00:07:45,479 --> 00:07:52,680
retail for 160 dollars each and the lobsters don't even support Ray tracing

109
00:07:49,979 --> 00:07:57,240
but you should support us emotionally by tuning back in on Friday for the price

110
00:07:55,139 --> 00:08:03,680
of just eight minutes you can prevent Tech News hosts from crying on camera

111
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:03,680
comes off and
