1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,759 Hey, congratulations. You've made the right decision to stay up to date with 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,760 the tech news instead of going outside 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:15,360 and ignoring all the important stuff that's happening online. Hundreds of 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,760 thousands of user chats with Grock Xai's 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,760 chatbot are publicly searchable on Google as reported by Forbes. Because as 6 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,720 many people discovered when a similar story about chat GBT blew up less than a 7 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:31,439 month ago, clicking share in a Grock chat allows it to be indexed by Google. 8 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:37,680 But this is a bit different because unlike Chat GPT, Grock's whole thing is 9 00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:41,520 being unrestricted. So these leaked chats show users generating everything 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:47,039 from instructions on how to make restricted substances to plans for 11 00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:50,399 taking down Elon Musk. And I'm sure some of the Japanese language chats are 12 00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:55,280 totally normal and not concerning, but not the ones I happen to click on. When 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,719 the story broke about ChatGpt's shared chats being searchable, OpenAI disabled 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:05,199 ChatgBT's Google indexing feature pretty quickly. But as of now, the Gro chats 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,640 are still up on Google and they apparently have been since at least 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,600 January, as pointed out by Gagan Gotra 17 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:18,000 on Twitter. He also spotted Gemini, which was then called Bard, doing the 18 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:23,200 same thing in 2023, shortly before Google turned that off. Meanwhile, Meta 19 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:28,400 continues to allow Meta AI chats to be indexed. They're fine with it. Also, 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,280 following the Chat GPT story a few weeks ago, one of Twitter's many genius 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:38,479 investigators asked Grock about it, which is what you do. Grock claimed it 22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,600 had no such sharing feature, which was retweeted by Elon with Grock for the 23 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,320 win. And yet another example of why asking chat bots about how they work is 24 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,720 about as useful as asking dogs why they chase squirrels. As soon as you say the 25 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,600 word squirrel, the interaction's over. The batteries in 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:03,280 all Pixel 10 series phones will have their effective capacities reduced after 27 00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,520 just 200 charging cycles as a safety measure. as confirmed to Android 28 00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:11,760 authority by Google, who refuses to build batteries containing anything 29 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,160 other than Coke, Mentos, and lava harnessed from an active volcano. It's a 30 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,239 matter of principle. The battery nerf is managed by Google's battery health 31 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:25,440 assistance feature, which gradually reduces maximum voltage to prevent the 32 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:31,120 exploding battery debacles that plagued the Pixel 4a and 6A. The feature can be 33 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:36,640 turned off on most Pixel devices, but that's not the case for the Pixel 9a and 34 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,599 now the Pixel 10 series as well, because there's just no way to figure out how 35 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:47,120 Samsung devices are able to survive 2,000 charging cycles just fine, which 36 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,840 we know about thanks to the EU's European Product Registry for Energy 37 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,200 Labeling, a title that, you know, in German is all one word. NVIDIA has 38 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:03,319 halted production of its China specific H20 AI data center GPUs because China 39 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,080 it don't want them no more. Insider sources told the information that NVIDIA 40 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:16,159 has instructed component suppliers for H20 GPUs to hold off after China told 41 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:22,159 the country's tech companies that buying NVIDIA chips is now a no no. As the 42 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,560 Financial Times reports, this shift in attitude followed directly from a CNBC 43 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:31,760 interview with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik in which he made comments 44 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,760 that Chinese leadership found insulting. 45 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Lutnik said he wants Chinese developers to get addicted to American technology. 46 00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,519 You know, they can try using a Nokia phone, but it just doesn't give you that 47 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,519 buzz. They outlawed setting your phone to 48 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,840 vibrate in the EU. Go see if that's true for yourself with the help of our 49 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,159 sponsor sy.

Trump Mobile has posted a new T1 phone image. Not another image of 64 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:59,199 the same T1 phone. It's a different T1 65 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,400 phone image, which really seems like a 66 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:05,840 photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 67 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,320 with a Spigen case on it. The tweet is 68 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:13,840 somehow still up despite the attached community note and a tweet from Spigen 69 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,680 promising a lawsuit, but of of course the tweet's still up. Trump mobile 70 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:22,400 obviously has a plan here, which appears to be post a new image of a random phone 71 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:27,919 every couple months. Their website still has the old pick of the gold iPhone. And 72 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,080 why does this guy look like he wants to eat me? 73 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:37,440 The 12volt high power connector strikes again, but this time taking down its 74 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,080 first AMD victim. A user called Savings 75 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Opportunity 3 posted last month on Reddit asking if they should be 76 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:48,880 concerned about melting and showed off a picture of their cable. One month after 77 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,880 a user responded saying AMD cards don't have a melting problem. Uh well uh well 78 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,240 the cable melted. Now this was one of the very few AMD cards that uses this 79 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,600 connector. It was an ASRock Taichi RX970 80 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,360 XT, so most Radeon users should be safe. 81 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,520 And this guy says his GPU still works 82 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,800 until it doesn't. Speaking of AMD, it seems like someone over there had some 83 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:17,360 butter fingers and accidentally posted the entire source code for FSR4 up on 84 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,280 GitHub. FSR4 or Fidelity FX Super 85 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,039 Resolution 4 is AMD's resolution upscaling and frame generation 86 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:28,000 technology. And in this source code, it seems to suggest that AMD had at least 87 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:33,440 tried to get it working on some older RDNA3 GPUs, not just the newest ones. 88 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,960 The GitHub page was pulled down almost immediately, but that didn't stop people 89 00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:41,840 from getting at least some screenshots and maybe even some downloads of the 90 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:46,639 repo, but until someone does something with it, we can only dream of GPU makers 91 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:53,199 being generous and giving our older cards new features. Stop the agism. AI 92 00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:55,759 startup Dynamics Lab has released Mirage 93 00:06:53,199 --> 00:07:00,800 2, which looks essentially like Google's recently unveiled world model Genie 3, 94 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,960 but with less limits. And this one's actually playable. You can generate a 95 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:09,199 world based off any image. And like Genie 3, you can add additional prompts 96 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,479 while playing through it. So you can seamlessly bring Red Dead Redemption 2's 97 00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:18,560 Arthur Morgan into a cyberpunk city or an alien planet, which Rockstar didn't 98 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,319 include in the real game. probably because they didn't have this tool. So, 99 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:26,160 someone get Rockstar on the phone. They need to see this. They They need our 100 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,720 help. And to the surprise of no one, someone managed to get Doom running on a 101 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:36,560 random piece of tech that has a screen. YouTuber Aaron Kristoffell Christophel 102 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:40,560 showed off his modded Anchor Prime charging station and even uses the 103 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,039 little dial on the side to control the game in perhaps the jankiest way 104 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:50,720 possible. As for specs, the charging station has 8 MGB of SD RAM and 16 MGB 105 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:55,599 of external flash, proving that your overpowered gaming PC is entirely 106 00:07:53,199 --> 00:08:00,960 unnecessary. People are out gaming in caves with a box of scraps. Um, it's a 107 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:05,199 lesson for all of us, which is that now it's time to go outside. Not before, now 108 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,960 or go to bed, depending on where you are. Regardless, just come back on 109 00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:14,000 Monday for more tech news. And I want you outside until then. It's cold. wear 110 00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:16,400 a coat. I'm just kidding. You can do whatever you want.
