1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,599
That was a lot of stairs.

2
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:13,679
I just took the elevator. There's an elevator. Get out of Get out of here.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,160
Intel might be on the verge of losing another CEO. The new guy, Lip Bhutan,

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,119
has been called out by the president of the USA. In a post on Truth Social,

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:28,480
Trump claims that Lip Bhutan is highly conflicted and must resign immediately.

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,160
And he might be right. I mean, if there's anybody who's an expert on being

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,399
conflicted, it's my boy DJT. >> Yeah. >> And what spurred him to make this post?

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,440
He didn't specify because you know what? He's also an expert on not providing

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,320
evidence. >> Yeah. >> But the post emerged just a day after

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,559
Republican Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel's board chair with

11
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:52,879
questions regarding Tan's investments. An April report from Reuters found that

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,239
Lip Boutan has investments in over 600 Chinese firms with at least eight of

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,600
those having ties to the Chinese military. considering Intel's role in

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,239
providing tech to the American military. Uh, and this drama is on top of the

15
00:01:02,559 --> 00:01:07,439
internal beef between the CEO and his board about whether Intel should

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,000
continue trying to save its bleeding foundry business or just cut the limb

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,479
clean off. >> Get it out of here. >> Despite all that, these new statements

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,320
from Intel and Lip Boutan assure us that they are both deeply committed to

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:24,320
advancing US national and economic security interests. You know, bro, we're

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,240
like we're like this. Like,

21
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,479
hey, Intel, has your CEO considered giving his Orange Majesty a glass and

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:35,520
gold trophy? He loves trophies, especially ones he doesn't deserve. We

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,360
have the best trophies, China. OpenAI

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,640
has announced their latest model, Chat GPT5. In a 70-minute live stream full of

25
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,840
bouncing Legos shaped hands, they called GPT5 a significant step along their path

26
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,360
to AGI. And while you might expect that in the two years since GPT4 first

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,479
launched that there would be some groundbreaking new features, well uh

28
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,240
there isn't. But it seems that Sam and his Mary Altman were focused on just

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,399
making every current feature that much better. For example, now instead of

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,959
having to figure out which inscraably named AI model is best for your task,

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,879
GPT5 has some decision-making that automatically selects it for you.

32
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,800
However, you can summon specific models by casting an incantation like think

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,160
really hard about this one in the prompt. Or you can just pay for the pro

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,400
subscription. And if you don't want to pay, you can at least choose from four

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,599
new personalities. The cynic, the robot, the listener, and the nerd. All of this

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,000
goes towards making chat GPT sound less like an AI and >> and more like you're chatting with your

37
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,760
high IQ and EQ friend, >> which is such a normal way to talk about

38
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,120
your friends. Jeppetto 5 also brings improved vibe coding which allowed this

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,680
French developer to create an app to teach his girlfriend French so he didn't

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,920
have to. How high IQ and EQ of him. Now to their credit, many of the vibe coding

41
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:54,319
demos shown were hecking fast and made impressive products with relatively

42
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,560
small prompts and the benchmarks agree. OpenAI has taken the top spot across

43
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:02,400
most categories on LM Arena. But this release isn't just about chart topping

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,640
intelligence and charisma. The Altman clan are really focusing on reducing

45
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:09,920
sycophancy and hallucinations, which will hopefully prevent it from telling

46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,200
me to eat sodium broomemide while also telling me that my questions are

47
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,560
brilliant. Oh, good question. They've also introduced what they're referring

48
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,239
to as safe completions. Usually, when you ask an AI chatbot to tell you how to

49
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,800
do something unsafe, it just won't respond. But Grand Theft Auto 5 will

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,120
provide only highlevel info without actually giving you the instructions.

51
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,560
>> Come on. >> And when you summarize it like that, that kind of sounds less safe.

52
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,599
Ironically, while they were touting the reduced deception in GPA 5, they showed

53
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,599
this graph where 50 is a third of the size of 47.4 and just barely larger than

54
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:48,040
9. And when it came to software engineering accuracy, we got this doozy.

55
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,040
Who made these graphs? AI.

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,159
What's really exciting is that the new model won't be locked behind a payw

57
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:00,720
wall. That's right. It's available to all 700 million weekly Chad GPT users.

58
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,799
>> Half of those are AI though. Oh god. But it seems like those users aren't very

59
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,840
impressed. Many are frustrated by losing access to the old models that they've

60
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:12,000
built their workflows around, while others feel like their close GPT40

61
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:16,320
companion left for the summer, found a new girlfriend, got a tattoo, and just

62
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,000
you're not the same anymore. >> Users have likened this new personality

63
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:23,600
to an overworked secretary, which is kind of a good metaphor for AI chat bots

64
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:27,040
in general. And still others are frustrated by the relatively low usage

65
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,120
limits for the free tier, pushing users towards coughing up cash for continued

66
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:36,960
access. But hey, I bet if you talk to OpenAI, they could break a $50 bill into

67
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,440
two $69 bills for you. And I'm going to

68
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,759
break for our sponsor, Hrefs, the all-in-one marketing platform that helps

69
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,240
you understand and grow your online presence so you can reach your eventual

70
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,360
goal of being present in every place and time. Ah, it's not possible. Uh, well,

71
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,280
you haven't heard about Hrefs, I guess, and their free version, which gives you

72
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,360
essential tools to monitor your website's performance, uncover growth

73
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,919
opportunities, and improve visibility, all without spending a scent. If they

74
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:10,320
have sense, where you live, this is beyond SEO. We're talking tracking your

75
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,280
site's health, discovering backlink growth, and getting free access to

76
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,960
powerful tools like site audit and site

77
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,840
explorer, which will help you understand what content resonates with people and

78
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,240
how to make that happen more. So, take your digital marketing knowledge to the

79
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,000
next level for free with hres. It's August 8th and you know what that means?

80
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,520
It's National Quickbits Day. You can take a container of any size to the

81
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,120
nearest 7-Eleven and get a free slurpee. And I'll read you the quick bits.

82
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,039
possible last gaming graphics analysis nerds digital foundry have announced

83
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,639
that they are going independent. Founder Richard Leadd better thinks that the

84
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:48,400
team can be led better without corporate oversight and they've decided to no

85
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,400
longer be a subbrand of Eurogamer which is owned by IGN which is owned by Ze

86
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Davis. They took an offer to buy out the remaining shares from IGN Entertainment

87
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,320
and are now the proud owners of all of their work. For now they'll primarily be

88
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,360
funded through their Patreon. I can't wait to see what Digital Foundry is

89
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,440
going to do. Fully on bottlenecked running at a full 120 FPS with a ray

90
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,759
tracing set to maxed. It's going to be so they're going to look pretty. They're

91
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:15,520
gonna they're going to look gorgeous. The next made by Google event is coming up and it's like a oversted, poorly

92
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:21,039
wrapped chipotle burrito with extra salsa. Leaky. The latest leaks showed

93
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,039
the new Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL will be receiving their own version of MagSafe

94
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,120
called Pixel Snap and a triple camera setup. Nice. In some

95
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,600
leaked promo videos, we also get a look at the 10 Pro Fold. Perfect for fans of

96
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,479
expensive, fragile things. And if you're more of a watch guy, well, the Pixel

97
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,000
Watch 4 will have AI support. Who knew?

98
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:43,360
With the ability to just raise your wrist quickly to access Gemini. I'm not

99
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,199
sure if that's going to make it hard for my watch to tell me the time or not, but

100
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,639
there's only one way to find out. Live long enough to see the TechLink episode

101
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,160
summarizing the Made by Google event, and then after that, feel free to die.

102
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:59,199
Hey, did you know that you can install Steam on your Chromebook? No? Well, good

103
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:03,440
news. Now you do. And after a long beta period, it's finally making headlines

104
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,560
because it's being killed. >> You still can't.

105
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,080
>> That's right. The dream/ nightmare of a gaming Chromebook future has been nipped

106
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,360
in the bud. But don't worry, you still have time. You can play any of the 99

107
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:19,120
compatible games until January 1st, 2026. After that, you won't be able to

108
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:24,880
play the games, even if they're already installed on your device. Google, that's

109
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,880
so cool of you. What the is wrong with you? You just did it. I have the games.

110
00:07:27,039 --> 00:07:34,000
Just let me play. It's Linux. It's built on Linux. Linux plays the games. Just

111
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:38,720
play. Just what the official Windows 10 support ends October 14th, 2025. In case

112
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:43,039
you needed another reminder of Time's solemn and unending march forward. For

113
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,400
those of you clinging on to the past, refusing to let go, Microsoft just

114
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:53,039
sweetened the deal on their extended support program, which now covers up to

115
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:55,599
10 devices with one single ESP license.

116
00:07:53,039 --> 00:08:00,000
Wake up Joe Biden. Joe Biden, wake up. You do still have to pay $30 and you

117
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:04,479
must have a Microsoft account, but you could also redeem 1,000 Microsoft

118
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,919
points. Better get Bing searching. And if you've been searching for a free way

119
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:15,160
to avoid Windows 11, have you considered Linux? I mean, it's not free. It only

120
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,160
costs your sanity.

121
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,759
And my sanity would be at stake if this episode went on any longer. Tune in on

122
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,440
Monday for more of that succulent, juicy, perfectly seasoned tech
