00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.940
welcome to the show that's all about staying up to date on advancements in

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

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:14.639
helplessly watching as it all happens where's the popcorn Google held their

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:18.720
annual i o developer conference today and made several announcements related

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.279
to Ai and while we've all memed about Google getting leapfrogged by everyone

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:27.599
from open AI to your jobless uncle in his basement Google spent some time

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:32.279
talking about how to prevent AI from ruining everything something that sounds

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:37.140
kind of important Google will be launching Bard in 180 countries which is

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:42.360
basically all the ones that matter sorry North Korea and the Vatican in your face

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.460
principality of Sealand Google also showed off AI Integrations in its entire

00:00:45.059 --> 00:00:51.960
workplace Suite so you'll soon be able to use text prompts to draft emails

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:56.039
draft data tables generate visuals for slideshows and all kinds of boring work

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

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:04.440
involves an ungodly number of memos and spreads sheets I thought we would have

00:01:01.860 --> 00:01:08.880
dealt with that by now Google has made substantial improvements to vertex its

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:14.159
personalized AI product for corporations and even teased a version for individual

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.180
users called project Tailwind is that a

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.380
reference to that cool animated series

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:23.220
project Tailwind is a notebook that learns from your documents and acts as a

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:27.119
tutor and research assistant again that sounds cool but as I alluded to earlier

00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:31.020
a major in emphasis of the announcement was Google's focus on an ethical

00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:34.460
approach to AI including integrated tools to help users spot and

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:39.000
contextualize online misinformation metadata tagging for AI images and

00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:43.460
guardrails against undisclosed deep fakes which sounds

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:48.840
genuinely good what is the strange emotion about the

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:52.680
future of technology I hope probably heartburn in terms of Google's

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:56.700
Hardware announcements it's all pixels all day oddly they spend more time

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.840
discussing a feature that lets you make the poop emoji into your phone's

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.820
wallpaper than they did talking about the pixel 7A because bluntly it's one of

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.239
Google's best-selling product lines and they already know we're going to buy it

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:13.800
what most people are probably not going to buy is the much anticipated pixel

00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:17.400
fold which starts at eighteen hundred dollars that's a lot of money to pay for

00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:21.120
a phone whose primary features include 300 increase in breakability and the

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

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.640
it's hard although it's important to point out Google says the pixel fold has

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.020
the best foldable camera system with the best zoom on a foldable which is also

00:02:31.739 --> 00:02:38.160
the thinnest foldable on the market all claims that we'll have to wait until

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

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:47.640
it's probably true lastly Google showed off the new 11 inch pixel tablet which

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

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

00:02:54.900 --> 00:03:01.200
also got Chromecast built in so you can cast your phone to your tablet and then

00:02:59.459 --> 00:03:06.599
presumably you could cast from your tablet to your TV and maybe if you're

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

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:16.860
spent my Saturday the tablet's only 4.99 so I suggest buying three and taping

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:20.879
them together for a super duper extra big pixel fold just an idea and the

00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:25.920
Indian government has apparently banned 14 messaging apps many of them open

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:30.360
source citing National Security concerns specifically that concern is the

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.980
possibility that separatist insurgents in the Jammu and Kashmir regions are

00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:38.459
using them to communicate I know I said those wrong the Indian government has

00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:43.080
long restricted these same regions to only 2G cell service on the same grounds

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.739
of restricting separatist organization efforts now as your friendly

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.920
neighborhood Canadian Tech reporters we're not going to comment on the

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:54.239
legitimacy of the Indian government's actions we will however point out that

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:59.640
there was a natural disaster somewhere in India on 88 of the days in the first

00:03:57.420 --> 00:04:03.000
nine months of last year and that's shutting off nearly every single

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:08.220
accessible form of communication to the general public is very likely to lead to

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:12.420
people not existing anymore because they're dead

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:16.440
Jacob what are you doing quiet peasant are you looking for love what if I told

00:04:14.459 --> 00:04:21.660

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:25.199
to our sponsor Paradox interactive Crusader Kings is a strategy

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:31.500
role-playing game that takes place in the Middle Ages be the king of your own

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:35.280

00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:37.080

marriage power and influence the best part is now you can play for free from

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.340
May 11th to 14th let's party like it's 9.99

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:55.860
quick bits are like a Disneyland day pass because you only get to go on your

00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:59.040
five favorite rides and there's some guy who keeps talking the whole time am I

00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:03.479
the guy are you the guy fossil is dropping

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:08.280
support for watches made by Misfit the company fossil acquired in 2015. users

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:13.500
can no longer log into the companion app or website meaning they can't even set

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:16.620
the time making it less a watch and more like an unnecessarily expensive bracelet

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.000
so which some people buy fossil didn't even

00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:25.380
announce anything and users who contacted customer service were only

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:30.720
offered a 30 discount to buy a Fossil watch which is amazing considering that

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

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:39.000
amazing I meant insulting

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:42.660
Spotify purged thousands of AI generated songs from its platform though not

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.880
because they embarrassed Drake by sounding better than anything he's released in years oh

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:52.979
who wrote that me that was nice better than Drake the

00:05:51.419 --> 00:05:58.139
songs in question were made by a proprietary AI startup called boomi

00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:03.180
Universal Music accused some songs of using Bots to inflate audience numbers

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:08.820
and Spotify eventually reinstated the songs which was a massive release to

00:06:05.580 --> 00:06:12.539
tens of AI music enjoyers what a relief

00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:15.660
there are dozens of us Roku the we have

00:06:12.539 --> 00:06:17.580
Android TV at home company announced a

00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:21.780
home security starter kit today that costs only a hundred dollars though it

00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:26.419
doesn't include cameras it does include two entry sensors and a hub with a

00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:32.400
built-in siren which is almost as good are you trying to seduce me

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:36.240
the company also announced Roku OS integration so that if you do buy a

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:39.780
camera you can watch it from the comfort of your Roku TV which is perfect for

00:06:38.460 --> 00:06:44.160
when you've already curled up in a blanket and would literally rather die

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

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.340
researchers in Italy have developed what they're calling the world's first fully

00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:57.180
edible battery for some reason what you've never heard of a potato that's so

00:06:55.500 --> 00:07:02.819
embarrassing but unlike a potato this battery is

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.979
rechargeable much smaller and relatively

00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:10.919
low carb some of the components include edible seaweed activated charcoal and

00:07:08.039 --> 00:07:15.539
Beeswax yum yum yum in the future Technologies like this

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:19.740
could be used in toys for children since for years swallowing batteries has been

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:22.580
the biggest fad diet amongst Rich of suburban babies

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:30.300
oh no and Customs officials in Hong Kong have arrested two men for suspected

00:07:27.900 --> 00:07:35.759
smuggling after being caught hauling 70 gpus and more importantly over 600

00:07:33.419 --> 00:07:41.160
pounds of live lobsters authorities claim that the combined value of silicon

00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:43.080
and shellfish was worth over 76 thousand

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.120
dollars which is surprising because the gpus are nearly a decade old and only

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:52.680
retail for 160 dollars each and the lobsters don't even support Ray tracing

00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:57.240
but you should support us emotionally by tuning back in on Friday for the price

00:07:55.139 --> 00:08:03.680
of just eight minutes you can prevent Tech News hosts from crying on camera

00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:03.680
comes off and
