00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:09,080
you know there's Tech news and then there's well you know like Tech news and

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,519
you're about to get one of those for sure 5G has been the fastest cellular

3
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:18,199
Network Technology since it really started rolling out in 2019 just in time

4
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:23,000
to inject it into our bodies but now China's state-owned Telecom China mobile

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:28,080
has announced it's rolling out something called

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,240
5.5g which sources indicate has about

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,559
another half a g xia me says their 14

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:39,399
Ultra flagship phone supports the tech reaching speeds of more than 5 gbits per

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,160
second while Oppo CEO Pete Lao posted a

10
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:48,480
photo of his company's find X7 Ultra with a little 5ga in the top bar that's

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:53,520
because the official name for 5G and a little bit more is actually 5G Advanced

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,760
according to the group of Standards bodies responsible for developing such

13
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:02,160
Tech collectively known as 3G PP which

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:05,680
is short for third gen and PE

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,600
PE that's only five of a

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:15,560
joke we're having fun it appears that Huawei started popularizing the term

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,080
5.5g last year as their brand name for

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,759
5G Advanced which is fair enough because that just sounds like the premium tier

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,439
of 5G and I don't need another monthly subscription unless it's to flow.com I'm

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:32,200
sorry but Americans don't have to worry about any fractional bonus G's anytime

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,960
soon as the FCC and US carriers can't

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:40,280
decide whether the 6 GHz Spectrum band should belong to 5G Advanced or 6G which

23
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:46,920
I think will be provided to the population as pills this time open ai's

24
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:49,479
Flagship large language model gp4 turbo

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:55,040
has been surpassed by another model on chatbot arena for the first time since

26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:02:00,399
chat gbt dropped onto Society like a bomb being ridden by Will Smith eating

27
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,360
spaghetti that's how it felt the new

28
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,520
king of llms according to the crowdsourced chatbot Arina leaderboard

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:12,239
is anthropics Claude 3 Opus which launched a few weeks ago along with less

30
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:18,519
powerful Claude 3 variants Sonet and Haiku which are neck and neck with some

31
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:20,840
less powerful GPT 4 variants themselves

32
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:26,480
the upset is even more upsetting for open AI given that anthropic was founded

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:31,239
by former open AI employees and now they're getting another $2.7 billion

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,040
investment from am so Jeff Bezos can talk to better AIS who understand him

35
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:41,159
like no human can oh all I want is to drink their blood is that so hard but in

36
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:46,840
equally interesting AI news xai just unveiled their updated grock 1.5 chapot

37
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,720
which is better at math and has a larger 128,000 token context window which will

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,319
probably just make the Boomer cringe humor worse open AI announced their

39
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,800
testing usage-based monetization on the GPT store which could eventually provide

40
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:06,120
a revenue stream for developers of all those custom gpts that are awesome for

41
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:11,280
generating not just copyright violations but TOS violations as well open AI also

42
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:16,519
revealed voice engine a model that can replicate any voice off of a 15-second

43
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:20,799
sample some of the most amazing habitats on Earth are found in the rainforest in

44
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:25,080
typical open aai fashion though they're letting you know that they have it but

45
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,920
that it's far too dangerous to release until they get more investors on board

46
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,439
to be fair though it seems like voice engine or any of the other pretty good

47
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:38,400
AI voice cloning tools out there could easily dup something like Chase Bank

48
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,879
which has let customers log in using voice identification since 2018 and

49
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,959
haven't yet reconsidered that decision for some reason you sound weird today

50
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,760
anyway here's your money Apple's mysterious machine that can update

51
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:56,079
iPhones while they're still sealed in the box is real a photo of the device

52
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,599
called presto was published by French language Tech

53
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,120
site generation I thought that was a

54
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:06,000
type of pasta no that's prgo Presto is

55
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,799
reportedly being rolled out to Apple Stores across the US this month allowing

56
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:14,760
iPhone users to skip the annoying initial updating process and get right

57
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:19,320
to that undeserved feeling of superiority but while Presto is

58
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,680
undoubtedly cool it would be more cool if it worked for airpods which cannot be

59
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:26,720
manually updated at all putting your devices close together and hoping the

60
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:31,320
update happens would feel better if there was a magic box involved speaking

61
00:04:28,919 --> 00:04:36,520
of updates though Google lets slip on a landing page for Android messages that

62
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:41,680
iOS support for RCS or Rich chat services will arrive this fall it looks

63
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,280
like they didn't mean to let that slip though Google's now taken that part of

64
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:50,080
the site down but TechCrunch confirmed it's still there in the source code when

65
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:55,840
that rolls out iPhone users you have my permission to feel Superior only the

66
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:57,800
richest of chats for you how expensive

added extra layering for added warmth as well as extra grip to prevent you from

that would lead to a new dance move so pros and cons storm bursts can make

bits I don't know they they never let me outside the China specific GeForce RTX

78
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:51,639
490d can apparently be overclocked to

79
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,840
nond D levels Double D the 490d is a cut

80
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,479
down version of NVIDIA's Flagship 40 series cards meant to comply with us

81
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,360
sanctions on China that the full fat card did not comply with now a Hong Kong

82
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:08,560
based Tech and review site has shown that the Rog stxs 490d specifically is

83
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:13,560
able to be overclocked achieving performance comparable to a Founders

84
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,160
Edition 490 but not defeating the point

85
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:21,280
of D's Nuts Qualcomm has apparently been giving

86
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:27,880
demos to select members of the press to show off their ARM-powered Snapdragon X

87
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Elite laptop chips gaming prowess the

88
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,639
company flew several influencers to the their headquarters in San Diego to give

89
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:36,960
demos of balers Gate 3 control and

90
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:41,759
redout 2 while many are calling the games playable in their coverage there

91
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:45,360
are some important caveats especially to the boulders Gate 3 demos it looks like

92
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:51,280
these machines were apparently able to achieve about 30 FPS at 1080p with low

93
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:56,560
settings but the demos are all of the prologue fight which is set in a small

94
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:00,120
area not the demanding open world of the rest of the game that's kind of like

95
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:05,919
demonstrating you can swing by standing up in the shallow end of the

96
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:10,199
pool a new GPU made entirely by a oneman

97
00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:13,879
operation can run Quake at 60 frames per

98
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:16,080
second pack it up NVIDIA Fury GPU is the

99
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:19,879
brainchild of game software developer Dylan Barry who has been working on the

100
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:26,160
project in his spare time for the last four years the GPU runs off a custom

101
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:28,919
Vulcan like Graphics API and does not

102
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:34,080
feature programmable shaders Barry in tends to open source the whole project

103
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:38,199
after he sorts out some legal issues he's wanted in

104
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Tiana apparently since the project is tangentially related to his day job he

105
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:47,000
needs to make sure he's not breaking any agreements that he signed seems like

106
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:51,560
something he should have done before doing this but but as soon as he does

107
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:58,240
that get ready to land party like it's 1996 baby it's literally that year

108
00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:03,479
because that's the games you can play New York City's my city chatbot which is

109
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,479
intended to answer questions related to starting a business has instead been

110
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:13,520
caught freestyling and telling users to break the law to be clear the bot isn't

111
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:18,039
straightforwardly advocating a life of crime it's just hallucinating an

112
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,360
alternative set of laws where it's not illegal to discriminate against tenants

113
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,120
on rental assistance and it's totally cool to fire an employee whistleblower

114
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:30,440
in retribution for reporting safety violations don't worry though it's an

115
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,120
equal opportunity Merchant of chaos because it also claims that you can't

116
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:39,680
fire an employee for taking a trip to the zoo on company time or evict a

117
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:45,000
tenant for setting fire to the building so all bets are off you ask it am I

118
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:50,160
allowed to legally do this it's like hey man live your life and researchers at

119
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:55,360
eth University in Zurich Switzerland have used machine learning to teach a

120
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:59,120
quadrapedal robot called

121
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,519
anyal parkour the anyal which looks and

122
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,760
moves moves like a possessed lawnmower uses a camera and an advanced neural

123
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:10,800
network to learn how to navigate obstacles through trial and error and

124
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:16,519
murder the robot is intended to one day be used to scout unstable terrain that

125
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,839
might be dangerous to human workers or

126
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:24,920
terrain in which human workers could hide from it and on a scale of 1 to 10

127
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:27,959
our next episode is at least an eight so

128
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,600
come back on Monday for a talk linked on

129
00:09:27,959 --> 00:09:34,120
Florida's social media band for kids under 14 we're taking the day off so you

130
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:38,680
can listen to what Jacob and I had to say about that as long as you're 14 or

131
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,680
older
