1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,799
I wish I could prepare you for what you're about to hear I really do high

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:13,160
doses of tech news can overwhelm the senses and trigger a catonic state ah

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:18,560
you'll be fine NVIDIA fueled by rabid demand for its AI accelerators briefly

4
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:20,560
hit a$2 trillion market cap for the

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,199
first time this morning joining an exclusive Club occupied by Apple and

6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:29,560
Microsoft who immediately started talking about how their neighborhoods

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,280
really going downhill but axios notes that in nidia's climb can't go on

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,760
forever the companies that want all those expensive NVIDIA gpus to power

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,039
their fancy new AI features like Microsoft and Google recently reported

10
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:47,520
earnings that disappointed their own investors because as cool as it is to

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:54,840
give everyone free access to a bing that doesn't suck when something is free it

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,600
means users don't pay for it and that is

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,840
financial advice you can take that one to the bank where they'll ask you to

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,439
leave come on it's a joke joke NVIDIA could also soon face competition as

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:11,000
companies continue developing their own custom AI chips Microsoft just made a

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,759
$15 billion deal with Intel on that front although NVIDIA doesn't seem too

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,280
worried about that the company listed its top competitors as Huawei AMD Amazon

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:25,159
Microsoft and broadcom in its annual report which I assume had the Thanos

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:30,000
meme as an attachment but in a sign that NVIDIA hasn't forgotten that some people

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:36,040
play games on its gpus it also launched to Beta for the NVIDIA app a supposed

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,119
replacement for and merging of GeForce

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,880
experience and the NVIDIA control panel on Windows it doesn't require you to log

23
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:47,759
in unless you care about potential account-based rewards and overall seems

24
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:51,960
like a much better option than splitting Graphics settings across two separate

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,000
apps some of them just like feel like a control panel thing you know I only hope

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,880
that NVIDIA doesn't pull a Windows and keep their old control panel around

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,840
while they make the new settings app more and more garbage for fun Google has

28
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:10,840
paused its Gemini chatbots capability to generate images after widespread

29
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:16,400
complaints about how hesitant it was to create images of white people sure

30
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:20,920
there's no real reason why drawing a hypothetical pope of color would be

31
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:25,120
problematic but I'm not sure the same could be said about depicting your

32
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:30,280
average racially diverse platoon of German soldiers Circa 1943 they were

33
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,519
trying to correct historical injust es Gemini would even refuse to generate

34
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:40,440
anything if asked about white people specifically leading to increasingly

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:45,800
creative prompts asking for pictures of a medieval Knight or someone eating a

36
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:51,319
mayo sandwich on White Bread which I'm not going to lie I would eat it's all

37
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,800
you eat sure call me out like that in

38
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:58,519
some cases the model also refused to specifically depict Latino people who

39
00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:02,280
I'm sorry to report are no longer diverse in their blog post Google

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,959
explained that when they added Gemini's image generation feature 3 weeks back

41
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:12,560
back when it was still barred rip they tuned it to ensure that it represented a

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,360
wide range of types of people to avoid

43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:20,400
the real documented phenomenon of AI models waiting images of white people

44
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:26,159
more heavily than images of non-white people causing a prompt for something

45
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,560
like black Tech News host to give you

46
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,480
this and if you didn't know I'm white uh

47
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,640
it's not open AI does something similar but it seems like they've managed to do

48
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,480
so without turning all the dials up to 11 if you want to test how well open-

49
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:48,239
Source image generator stable diffusion did version 3 was just released in early

50
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:52,439
preview while its diversity quotient is still unclear it seems to have largely

51
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:57,519
caught up with mid journey and Dolly in terms of depicting shapes and pets the

52
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,120
most important so hopefully Google Tunes up their AI models a bit better because

53
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:08,159
with Chrome's new help me write feature AI generated schlock is going to be just

54
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,400
a right click away okay shapes pets and

55
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,760
one day Hispanics Reddit has confirmed leaks

56
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,320
from last week that it would go public but because it's Reddit they had to do

57
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,199
so in a quirky way that's kind of charming as long as you do it in the

58
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:28,560
right sub the company filed its initial public offering yesterday to be listed

59
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:29,960
on the New York Stock Exchange as riddit

60
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,360
ticker symbols are usually just your company name but cuter interestingly in

61
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,440
addition to offering stocks to your standard institutional investors Reddit

62
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:45,520
says they'll also offer them to its top users including moderators as determined

63
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,560
by their Reddit Karma proving that it's

64
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,080
not worthless it's worth the chance to

65
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,880
lose your money gambling Reddit also confirmed a leak claiming it had struck

66
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:00,000
a Content licensing deal with a major AI company which turned out to be Google

67
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:04,440
who will have direct access access to reddit's API for a rumored 60 million

68
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,600
bucks a year now if your Reddit data being collected to train AI rubs you the

69
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:14,160
wrong way Reddit points out in their filing that well everyone was already

70
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:19,440
doing that anyway including open AI whose CEO Sam Alman is Apparently one of

71
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,360
reddit's biggest investors which isn't doing much to dispel the notion that he

72
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,639
has a plan to take over the world through the power of shrewd Investments

73
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:29,919
and scanning everyone's eyes into the crypto ball that that'll help I'm sure

74
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,240
now we have your eyes leave my balls alone

75
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,840

know what I mean okay all right you can cut anytime a small number of Vision Pro

85
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:23,680
owners have reported identical issues where hairline cracks form on their

86
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,080
headsets coverglass an unfortunately noticeable problem when more than half

87
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:33,960
of the product's visible surface is that glass even worse the cracks only make

88
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:36,280
the creepy eyesight feature creepier

89
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:41,160
even worser some affected owners are being told they need to pay up to $800

90
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,919
to repair the glasses since Apple doesn't recognize the issue as a

91
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,360
manufacturing defect I mean anything

92
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:51,160
could have caused a group of complete strangers to all develop perfectly

93
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:56,120
straight hairline cracks in the exact middle of the front coverglass of their

sweeping Across America in happier Apple news the company has announced iPhone 15

97
00:07:08,919 --> 00:07:16,639
batteries Live Twice as long as they initially thought if you renounce the

98
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:22,240
corrupt so-called European union and swear fty to the Divine fruit ah okay

99
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:27,319
the last part's optional Apple retested the batteries found in all iPhone 15

100
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:32,199
models and they now claim the phones can maintain at least 80% of the their

101
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,520
original capacity for 1,000 charging Cycles previously they said it was 500

102
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:41,720
they found the lightning cable of Youth however no one knows why the result has

103
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:45,599
changed so massively did Apple change how they test did they initially

104
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,599
underestimate the lifespan to avoid a repeat of the iPhone 14's battery gate

105

class action lawsuit did Tim Cook beguile the batteries with his Southern

106
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:59,919
Charm who's to say Tim Apple you Saucy

MX I know you can last for longer

108
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:07,720
and if you know what's good for you you will Canada's University of waterl will

109
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:10,159
be removing &m branded vending machines

110
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:14,440
from campus after it came to light that the machines may have been covertly

111
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:19,360
collecting customers facial recognition data the story was blown wide open when

112
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:26,360
a waterl student posted a strange error message from the machine to Reddit

113
00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:26,360
reading inv Venda vending.flv

114
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,919
question of hey so why do the stupid M&M

115
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,919
machines have facial recognition adaria vending Services says that the

116
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:42,279
technology acts as a motion sensor that detects faces and activates the

117
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:47,480
purchasing interface but does not collect user data okay but maybe this

118
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:51,360
glorified snack dispenser doesn't need to know whether or not I have a face

119
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:56,320
ever thought of that if slender man wants a stickers that's his own damn

120
00:08:53,440 --> 00:09:01,040
business which is what I call myself at home us space exploration company in

121
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:06,880
intuitive machines has successfully landed its Odus spacecraft near the

122
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:11,160
moon's South Pole making it the first privately developed spacecraft to

123
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:17,120
successfully land on the lunar surface and the first us-based craft to land

124
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,200
there since 1972 The Landing was delayed

125
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,399
by an additional 2 hours due to the discovery that the Lander's laser rang

126
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,360
finders were malfunctioning meaning that it would be unable to accurately measure

127
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:32,079
its altitude and velocity which are important factors in not slam in face

128
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,600
first into the moon luckily controllers back on Earth were able to upload a

129
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:41,480
software patch that allowed the Lander to use a Doppler liar from NASA to help

130
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:46,079
it land instead presumably odsis will stay where it is for the next 10 years

131
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:50,880
and spend the 10 years after that slowly journeying home where upon arrival it

132
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:55,480
will murder everyone who hit on its wife if you're not laughing you you

133
00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:01,480
should read more and in commemoration of Doom's 30th Anniversary husk Varna will

134
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:06,399
be adding support for the game to their Nara line of robot

135
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:13,000
lawnmowers uh so you'll be able to spend your summer mowing down demons and also

136
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:18,200
dandelion what is you literally play it on the little like 3in screen or

137
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,560
whatever with a DI with a dial okay support will begin on April 9th which is

138
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,399
about eight days late for this sort of thing and it will end on September 9th

139
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,760
when it's just about time to pack your devil Destroyer back in the shed it may

140
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,560
seem like a strange Alliance but nowadays most people who played the OG

141
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:41,200
Doom when it was first released are now middle-aged dads blowing off steam by

142
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,519
beheading weeds so it's something for

143
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:48,440
them and we'd really like it if you steam ahead to the next episode of

144
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:52,920
TechLink this coming Monday for more Tech news did we make a steam BL off

145
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:58,279
steam Oh I thought it was about to steam like the game well okay
