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

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.519
you're about to get one of those for sure 5G has been the fastest cellular

00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:18.199
Network Technology since it really started rolling out in 2019 just in time

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:23.000
to inject it into our bodies but now China's state-owned Telecom China mobile

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:28.080
has announced it's rolling out something called

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:31.240
5.5g which sources indicate has about

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:33.559
another half a g xia me says their 14

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:39.399
Ultra flagship phone supports the tech reaching speeds of more than 5 gbits per

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.160
second while Oppo CEO Pete Lao posted a

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

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:53.520
because the official name for 5G and a little bit more is actually 5G Advanced

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:58.760
according to the group of Standards bodies responsible for developing such

00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.160
Tech collectively known as 3G PP which

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:05.680
is short for third gen and PE

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:08.600
PE that's only five of a

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:15.560
joke we're having fun it appears that Huawei started popularizing the term

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.080
5.5g last year as their brand name for

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.759
5G Advanced which is fair enough because that just sounds like the premium tier

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

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:32.200
sorry but Americans don't have to worry about any fractional bonus G's anytime

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.960
soon as the FCC and US carriers can't

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:40.280
decide whether the 6 GHz Spectrum band should belong to 5G Advanced or 6G which

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.920
I think will be provided to the population as pills this time open ai's

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:49.479
Flagship large language model gp4 turbo

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:55.040
has been surpassed by another model on chatbot arena for the first time since

00:01:52.439 --> 00:02:00.399
chat gbt dropped onto Society like a bomb being ridden by Will Smith eating

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:02.360
spaghetti that's how it felt the new

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.520
king of llms according to the crowdsourced chatbot Arina leaderboard

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:12.239
is anthropics Claude 3 Opus which launched a few weeks ago along with less

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:18.519
powerful Claude 3 variants Sonet and Haiku which are neck and neck with some

00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:20.840
less powerful GPT 4 variants themselves

00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:26.480
the upset is even more upsetting for open AI given that anthropic was founded

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:31.239
by former open AI employees and now they're getting another $2.7 billion

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:36.040
investment from am so Jeff Bezos can talk to better AIS who understand him

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

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:46.840
equally interesting AI news xai just unveiled their updated grock 1.5 chapot

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.720
which is better at math and has a larger 128,000 token context window which will

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.319
probably just make the Boomer cringe humor worse open AI announced their

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.800
testing usage-based monetization on the GPT store which could eventually provide

00:02:58.519 --> 00:03:06.120
a revenue stream for developers of all those custom gpts that are awesome for

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:11.280
generating not just copyright violations but TOS violations as well open AI also

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:16.519
revealed voice engine a model that can replicate any voice off of a 15-second

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:20.799
sample some of the most amazing habitats on Earth are found in the rainforest in

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:25.080
typical open aai fashion though they're letting you know that they have it but

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.920
that it's far too dangerous to release until they get more investors on board

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.439
to be fair though it seems like voice engine or any of the other pretty good

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.400
AI voice cloning tools out there could easily dup something like Chase Bank

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.879
which has let customers log in using voice identification since 2018 and

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:46.959
haven't yet reconsidered that decision for some reason you sound weird today

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:50.760
anyway here's your money Apple's mysterious machine that can update

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:56.079
iPhones while they're still sealed in the box is real a photo of the device

00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:00.599
called presto was published by French language Tech

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:04.120
site generation I thought that was a

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:06.000
type of pasta no that's prgo Presto is

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.799
reportedly being rolled out to Apple Stores across the US this month allowing

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.760
iPhone users to skip the annoying initial updating process and get right

00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:19.320
to that undeserved feeling of superiority but while Presto is

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.680
undoubtedly cool it would be more cool if it worked for airpods which cannot be

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.720
manually updated at all putting your devices close together and hoping the

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:31.320
update happens would feel better if there was a magic box involved speaking

00:04:28.919 --> 00:04:36.520
of updates though Google lets slip on a landing page for Android messages that

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:41.680
iOS support for RCS or Rich chat services will arrive this fall it looks

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

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.080
the site down but TechCrunch confirmed it's still there in the source code when

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:55.840
that rolls out iPhone users you have my permission to feel Superior only the

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.800
richest of chats for you how expensive

00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:02.320
was this chat now it's time for quick bits brought to you by vessie claims

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

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:51.639
490d can apparently be overclocked to

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:53.840
nond D levels Double D the 490d is a cut

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:58.479
down version of NVIDIA's Flagship 40 series cards meant to comply with us

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:03.360
sanctions on China that the full fat card did not comply with now a Hong Kong

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:08.560
based Tech and review site has shown that the Rog stxs 490d specifically is

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:13.560
able to be overclocked achieving performance comparable to a Founders

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.160
Edition 490 but not defeating the point

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:21.280
of D's Nuts Qualcomm has apparently been giving

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:27.880
demos to select members of the press to show off their ARM-powered Snapdragon X

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.599
Elite laptop chips gaming prowess the

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:34.639
company flew several influencers to the their headquarters in San Diego to give

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:36.960
demos of balers Gate 3 control and

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:41.759
redout 2 while many are calling the games playable in their coverage there

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:45.360
are some important caveats especially to the boulders Gate 3 demos it looks like

00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:51.280
these machines were apparently able to achieve about 30 FPS at 1080p with low

00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:56.560
settings but the demos are all of the prologue fight which is set in a small

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

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:05.919
demonstrating you can swing by standing up in the shallow end of the

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:10.199
pool a new GPU made entirely by a oneman

00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:13.879
operation can run Quake at 60 frames per

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:16.080
second pack it up NVIDIA Fury GPU is the

00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:19.879
brainchild of game software developer Dylan Barry who has been working on the

00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:26.160
project in his spare time for the last four years the GPU runs off a custom

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:28.919
Vulcan like Graphics API and does not

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:34.080
feature programmable shaders Barry in tends to open source the whole project

00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:38.199
after he sorts out some legal issues he's wanted in

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:42.800
Tiana apparently since the project is tangentially related to his day job he

00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:47.000
needs to make sure he's not breaking any agreements that he signed seems like

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:51.560
something he should have done before doing this but but as soon as he does

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:58.240
that get ready to land party like it's 1996 baby it's literally that year

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

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:08.479
intended to answer questions related to starting a business has instead been

00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:13.520
caught freestyling and telling users to break the law to be clear the bot isn't

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:18.039
straightforwardly advocating a life of crime it's just hallucinating an

00:08:15.960 --> 00:08:22.360
alternative set of laws where it's not illegal to discriminate against tenants

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.120
on rental assistance and it's totally cool to fire an employee whistleblower

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:30.440
in retribution for reporting safety violations don't worry though it's an

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:34.120
equal opportunity Merchant of chaos because it also claims that you can't

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:39.680
fire an employee for taking a trip to the zoo on company time or evict a

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

00:08:42.880 --> 00:08:50.160
allowed to legally do this it's like hey man live your life and researchers at

00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:55.360
eth University in Zurich Switzerland have used machine learning to teach a

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:59.120
quadrapedal robot called

00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:01.519
anyal parkour the anyal which looks and

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:05.760
moves moves like a possessed lawnmower uses a camera and an advanced neural

00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:10.800
network to learn how to navigate obstacles through trial and error and

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:16.519
murder the robot is intended to one day be used to scout unstable terrain that

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.839
might be dangerous to human workers or

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

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:27.959
our next episode is at least an eight so

00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:29.600
come back on Monday for a talk linked on

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

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

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.680
older
