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

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:13.160
doses of tech news can overwhelm the senses and trigger a catonic state ah

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:18.560
you'll be fine NVIDIA fueled by rabid demand for its AI accelerators briefly

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:20.560
hit a$2 trillion market cap for the

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:25.199
first time this morning joining an exclusive Club occupied by Apple and

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:29.560
Microsoft who immediately started talking about how their neighborhoods

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:34.280
really going downhill but axios notes that in nidia's climb can't go on

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:38.760
forever the companies that want all those expensive NVIDIA gpus to power

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.039
their fancy new AI features like Microsoft and Google recently reported

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.520
earnings that disappointed their own investors because as cool as it is to

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:54.840
give everyone free access to a bing that doesn't suck when something is free it

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.600
means users don't pay for it and that is

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.840
financial advice you can take that one to the bank where they'll ask you to

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.439
leave come on it's a joke joke NVIDIA could also soon face competition as

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:11.000
companies continue developing their own custom AI chips Microsoft just made a

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:14.759
$15 billion deal with Intel on that front although NVIDIA doesn't seem too

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:20.280
worried about that the company listed its top competitors as Huawei AMD Amazon

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:25.159
Microsoft and broadcom in its annual report which I assume had the Thanos

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:30.000
meme as an attachment but in a sign that NVIDIA hasn't forgotten that some people

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:36.040
play games on its gpus it also launched to Beta for the NVIDIA app a supposed

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.119
replacement for and merging of GeForce

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:42.880
experience and the NVIDIA control panel on Windows it doesn't require you to log

00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:47.759
in unless you care about potential account-based rewards and overall seems

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.960
like a much better option than splitting Graphics settings across two separate

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

00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:59.880
that NVIDIA doesn't pull a Windows and keep their old control panel around

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:05.840
while they make the new settings app more and more garbage for fun Google has

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:10.840
paused its Gemini chatbots capability to generate images after widespread

00:02:08.119 --> 00:02:16.400
complaints about how hesitant it was to create images of white people sure

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:20.920
there's no real reason why drawing a hypothetical pope of color would be

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:25.120
problematic but I'm not sure the same could be said about depicting your

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:30.280
average racially diverse platoon of German soldiers Circa 1943 they were

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:35.519
trying to correct historical injust es Gemini would even refuse to generate

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.440
anything if asked about white people specifically leading to increasingly

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:45.800
creative prompts asking for pictures of a medieval Knight or someone eating a

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

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:53.800
you eat sure call me out like that in

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:58.519
some cases the model also refused to specifically depict Latino people who

00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:02.280
I'm sorry to report are no longer diverse in their blog post Google

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:06.959
explained that when they added Gemini's image generation feature 3 weeks back

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:12.560
back when it was still barred rip they tuned it to ensure that it represented a

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.360
wide range of types of people to avoid

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:20.400
the real documented phenomenon of AI models waiting images of white people

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:26.159
more heavily than images of non-white people causing a prompt for something

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:30.560
like black Tech News host to give you

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:33.480
this and if you didn't know I'm white uh

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

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-

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:48.239
Source image generator stable diffusion did version 3 was just released in early

00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:52.439
preview while its diversity quotient is still unclear it seems to have largely

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:57.519
caught up with mid journey and Dolly in terms of depicting shapes and pets the

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.120
most important so hopefully Google Tunes up their AI models a bit better because

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:08.159
with Chrome's new help me write feature AI generated schlock is going to be just

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.400
a right click away okay shapes pets and

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:15.760
one day Hispanics Reddit has confirmed leaks

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

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

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:28.560
right sub the company filed its initial public offering yesterday to be listed

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.960
on the New York Stock Exchange as riddit

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:34.360
ticker symbols are usually just your company name but cuter interestingly in

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:39.440
addition to offering stocks to your standard institutional investors Reddit

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:45.520
says they'll also offer them to its top users including moderators as determined

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:48.560
by their Reddit Karma proving that it's

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:51.080
not worthless it's worth the chance to

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:55.880
lose your money gambling Reddit also confirmed a leak claiming it had struck

00:04:53.039 --> 00:05:00.000
a Content licensing deal with a major AI company which turned out to be Google

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:04.440
who will have direct access access to reddit's API for a rumored 60 million

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.600
bucks a year now if your Reddit data being collected to train AI rubs you the

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:14.160
wrong way Reddit points out in their filing that well everyone was already

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:19.440
doing that anyway including open AI whose CEO Sam Alman is Apparently one of

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:22.360
reddit's biggest investors which isn't doing much to dispel the notion that he

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.639
has a plan to take over the world through the power of shrewd Investments

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:29.919
and scanning everyone's eyes into the crypto ball that that'll help I'm sure

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:33.240
now we have your eyes leave my balls alone

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:37.840

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:23.680
owners have reported identical issues where hairline cracks form on their

the creepy eyesight feature creepier

00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:41.160
even worser some affected owners are being told they need to pay up to $800

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:45.919
to repair the glasses since Apple doesn't recognize the issue as a

00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:47.360
manufacturing defect I mean anything

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:51.160
could have caused a group of complete strangers to all develop perfectly

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:56.120

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

00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:16.639
batteries Live Twice as long as they initially thought if you renounce the

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:22.240
corrupt so-called European union and swear fty to the Divine fruit ah okay

00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:27.319
the last part's optional Apple retested the batteries found in all iPhone 15

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:32.199
models and they now claim the phones can maintain at least 80% of the their

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:36.520
original capacity for 1,000 charging Cycles previously they said it was 500

00:07:34.599 --> 00:07:41.720
they found the lightning cable of Youth however no one knows why the result has

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:45.599
changed so massively did Apple change how they test did they initially

00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:50.599
underestimate the lifespan to avoid a repeat of the iPhone 14's battery gate

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:56.319
class action lawsuit did Tim Cook beguile the batteries with his Southern

00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:59.919

MX I know you can last for longer

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

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:10.159
be removing &m branded vending machines

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:14.440
from campus after it came to light that the machines may have been covertly

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:19.360
collecting customers facial recognition data the story was blown wide open when

00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:26.360
a waterl student posted a strange error message from the machine to Reddit

00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:26.360
reading inv Venda vending.flv

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:33.919
question of hey so why do the stupid M&M

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.919
machines have facial recognition adaria vending Services says that the

00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:42.279
technology acts as a motion sensor that detects faces and activates the

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:47.480
purchasing interface but does not collect user data okay but maybe this

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:51.360
glorified snack dispenser doesn't need to know whether or not I have a face

00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:56.320
ever thought of that if slender man wants a stickers that's his own damn

00:08:53.440 --> 00:09:01.040
business which is what I call myself at home us space exploration company in

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:06.880
intuitive machines has successfully landed its Odus spacecraft near the

00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:11.160
moon's South Pole making it the first privately developed spacecraft to

00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:17.120
successfully land on the lunar surface and the first us-based craft to land

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:19.200
there since 1972 The Landing was delayed

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:23.399
by an additional 2 hours due to the discovery that the Lander's laser rang

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:27.360
finders were malfunctioning meaning that it would be unable to accurately measure

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:32.079
its altitude and velocity which are important factors in not slam in face

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.600
first into the moon luckily controllers back on Earth were able to upload a

00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:41.480
software patch that allowed the Lander to use a Doppler liar from NASA to help

00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:46.079
it land instead presumably odsis will stay where it is for the next 10 years

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:50.880
and spend the 10 years after that slowly journeying home where upon arrival it

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:55.480
will murder everyone who hit on its wife if you're not laughing you you

00:09:53.160 --> 00:10:01.480
should read more and in commemoration of Doom's 30th Anniversary husk Varna will

00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:06.399
be adding support for the game to their Nara line of robot

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:13.000
lawnmowers uh so you'll be able to spend your summer mowing down demons and also

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:18.200
dandelion what is you literally play it on the little like 3in screen or

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:22.560
whatever with a DI with a dial okay support will begin on April 9th which is

00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:27.399
about eight days late for this sort of thing and it will end on September 9th

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

00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:35.560
seem like a strange Alliance but nowadays most people who played the OG

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:41.200
Doom when it was first released are now middle-aged dads blowing off steam by

00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:43.519
beheading weeds so it's something for

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.440
them and we'd really like it if you steam ahead to the next episode of

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.920
TechLink this coming Monday for more Tech news did we make a steam BL off

00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:58.279
steam Oh I thought it was about to steam like the game well okay
