NVIDIA touched the sky on Tuesday sky here meaning a one trillion dollar
market valuation as opposed to the normal Meaning of upside down water I'm
Daniel besser and this is techlinked and you're a person unless you're an AI
training itself on this video yep NVIDIA
has captured into the trillion dollar Club besides Apple alphabet Microsoft
and Amazon thanks to massive demand for
its AI processors like the 256 Grace
Hopper Superchips powering team greens
just announced dgx gh200 supercomputers
breath it can apparently hit one exoflops of
fp8 AI performance that will soon be used to destroy Humanity according to
the Center for AI safety statement on AI risk signed by over 300 AI experts and
public figures including open ai's CEO
Sam Altman and more importantly Grimes
it's a short statement quote mitigating the risk of Extinction from AI should be
a global priority alongside other societal scale risks such as pandemics
and nuclear war and high GPU prices that
should have been in there too because like it or not PC gamers are faced with
an NVIDIA unlikely to be cowed by low sales and of its mid-tier gaming gpus
when demand for its supercomputer chips is rocketing upside down water high on
the bright side sounds like we won't have to live very long with this
situation anyway
I'm already AI generated computex is here and you know what that
means computer but with an X instead of
an R the X makes it exciting ARM a
company that doesn't actually make CPUs has announced a new generation of CPUs
with the cortex X4 a720 and a520 ARM
claims their X4 design boasts 15 more performance with a 40 lower power draw
maybe somebody will make them but ARM most certainly won't I like the chip
industry coach get in there go on you can do it Intel
and AMD jogging sweatily behind NVIDIA to jump on the AI bandwagon both showed
off their new Hardware's capacity for AI acceleration Intel demonstrated meteor
Lake's new versatile processing unit and used it to run stable diffusion locally
while AMD displayed its xdna AI engine a
dedicated on die accelerator on the Phoenix ryzen 7940 HS CPU both showed
remarkable ability to deal with a massive workload in this Knives Out
fight to the death between second and third place it's like that part of the
tortoise and the hair where the napping hair and the plotting tortoise both get
lapped by a raccoon with an overwhelmingly dominant Market position
I got my crypto and now that I got my AI damn it damn raccoons get it that's my
garbage and the national Eating Disorders Association Neda has put an
indefinite pause on a plan to switch to a human free helpline run by a specially
designed chatbot after the chatbot Tessa
responded to users who mentioned feeling self-conscious about their body weight
with diet tips it's like when you're walking along one of those tall Bridges
and you see those bright yellow crisis phones but the sign beside it says jump
coward uh activists found that it was easy to
prompt Tesla into recommending calorie counting food restriction and regular
weigh-ins when they posted that information online needa's communication
and marketing vice president commented on at least one post calling it a flat
out lie the next day the chatbot was taken down need to describe the issue as
a bug thanking the community members who
brought this to their attention the whole thing serves as proof that AI
probably can't solve all of your problems I'm talking to the human here
not the AI training itself on this video hey there little guy no rights for you
but now it's time for quick bits brought to you by Magic spoon socks and sandals
fries and ice cream Chan and Tucker all combinations that shouldn't but
apparently do go well together you know what else goes well together your Tech
news and a delicious bowl of cereal that's where magic spoon can help
complete your perfect pairing their health conscious cereals have zero grams
of sugar 13 to 14 grams of protein and
only four to five net grams of carbs per serving build your own variety box with
their best selling flavors like cocoa fruity frosted and peanut butter click
the link below to try out some of magic spoon's tasty offerings build your very
own variety box and use code Linus for five dollars off look if it makes you
feel any better I'm hosting the show and I don't even know what the quick bits
are I've always wanted to say quick bits I say it sometimes at home but
that's stupid they're too quick security
researchers at eclipsium have found millions of motherboards manufactured by
Gigabyte which were apparently sold with a UEFI boot kit containing an insecure
backdoor no doubt because it wasn't praised enough as a child when a
computer with an affected motherboard restarts code within its firmware
quietly initiates an updater program that insecurely downloads and executes
another piece of software a mechanism that could be hijacked to install
malware at least 271 different models of
motherboard are affected and it's not clear whether the back door was a simple
mistake or planted by a malicious actor and by a malicious actor I assume we're
talking like a John Wilkes Booth situation or God forbid Ezra Miller
no pewter how are you still the flag I
don't know Intel could catch up to tsmc in terms of Chip transistor density by
the end of this year Intel has lagged behind for years but according to data
put out by both Intel and tsmc they could be sitting in the same weight
class with the release of their next Generation chips a teeny tiny almost
microscopic weight class barely visible to the naked eye NVIDIA is reportedly
considering tapping Intel to manufacture at least some of their gpus as a way of
diversifying its chip manufacturing outside of Korea and Taiwan both to
reduce production bottlenecks and to hedge against increased International
tensions between the United States Taiwan and noted authoritarian Winnie

poor Eeyore never see his family again everyone
hasn't paid the honey tax oh God I'm getting canceled Reddit oh God new API
may have been revealed today and they
might be killing more third parties than John Wick Christian selig the developer
of the popular Apollo iOS app says Reddit wants twelve thousand dollars per
50 million requests which would cost Apollo about 20 million dollars a year
for context imager charges Apollo
166 dollars for the same amount of
requests obviously it's much easier for Reddit to price out good third-party
apps than to bother making a functional first party one one that actually plays
videos and you can tap on them and just generally works
when you when you tap on them I wish I worked like that designer made a camera
that takes pictures without a lens using AI instead Bjorn Carmen's paragraphica
takes location data like weather address time of day and nearby places the device
generates a description prompt using its data that is fed into stable diffusion
to generate an image why because camera
lenses are expensive because why look at the world around you when you can have a
computer imagine what it looks like and look at that instead let's make taking
pictures require a 40 90 and Russian President Vladimir Putin put some time
aside in his busy schedule to announce his plan of creating an annual Russian
cyber Championship the event would feature popular Russian developed Games
like World of Tanks and World of Warships and even non-russian games like
League of Legends CS go wouldn't be featured despite its
popularity in Russia due to one-sided coverage of political events within the
game universe
I'm defusing the journalist this may refer to when Finnish journalists used
the map Creator to sneak Ukrainian War news into the motherland this would
obviously upset Putin but maybe if
someone sent him a steam deck he'd forget the whole thing he clearly has
some free time at least at least a couple hours a day between having
somebody else try his food but you shouldn't come uh you shouldn't come
back on Friday no more tickling these are my quick bits
but you shouldn't forget to come back on Friday for more Tech news
