WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.759 Hey, congratulations. You've made the right decision to stay up to date with 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.760 the tech news instead of going outside 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:15.360 and ignoring all the important stuff that's happening online. Hundreds of 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.760 thousands of user chats with Grock Xai's 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.760 chatbot are publicly searchable on Google as reported by Forbes. Because as 00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:26.720 many people discovered when a similar story about chat GBT blew up less than a 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:31.439 month ago, clicking share in a Grock chat allows it to be indexed by Google. 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:37.680 But this is a bit different because unlike Chat GPT, Grock's whole thing is 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.520 being unrestricted. So these leaked chats show users generating everything 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:47.039 from instructions on how to make restricted substances to plans for 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:50.399 taking down Elon Musk. And I'm sure some of the Japanese language chats are 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:55.280 totally normal and not concerning, but not the ones I happen to click on. When 00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:00.719 the story broke about ChatGpt's shared chats being searchable, OpenAI disabled 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:05.199 ChatgBT's Google indexing feature pretty quickly. But as of now, the Gro chats 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:10.640 are still up on Google and they apparently have been since at least 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.600 January, as pointed out by Gagan Gotra 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:18.000 on Twitter. He also spotted Gemini, which was then called Bard, doing the 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:23.200 same thing in 2023, shortly before Google turned that off. Meanwhile, Meta 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:28.400 continues to allow Meta AI chats to be indexed. They're fine with it. Also, 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:33.280 following the Chat GPT story a few weeks ago, one of Twitter's many genius 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:38.479 investigators asked Grock about it, which is what you do. Grock claimed it 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:43.600 had no such sharing feature, which was retweeted by Elon with Grock for the 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.320 win. And yet another example of why asking chat bots about how they work is 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:52.720 about as useful as asking dogs why they chase squirrels. As soon as you say the 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.600 word squirrel, the interaction's over. The batteries in 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:03.280 all Pixel 10 series phones will have their effective capacities reduced after 00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.520 just 200 charging cycles as a safety measure. as confirmed to Android 00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:11.760 authority by Google, who refuses to build batteries containing anything 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:16.160 other than Coke, Mentos, and lava harnessed from an active volcano. It's a 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.239 matter of principle. The battery nerf is managed by Google's battery health 00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:25.440 assistance feature, which gradually reduces maximum voltage to prevent the 00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:31.120 exploding battery debacles that plagued the Pixel 4a and 6A. The feature can be 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 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 00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:47.120 Samsung devices are able to survive 2,000 charging cycles just fine, which 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.840 we know about thanks to the EU's European Product Registry for Energy 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:57.200 Labeling, a title that, you know, in German is all one word. NVIDIA has 00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:03.319 halted production of its China specific H20 AI data center GPUs because China 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.080 it don't want them no more. Insider sources told the information that NVIDIA 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:16.159 has instructed component suppliers for H20 GPUs to hold off after China told 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:22.159 the country's tech companies that buying NVIDIA chips is now a no no. As the 00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:26.560 Financial Times reports, this shift in attitude followed directly from a CNBC 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.760 interview with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik in which he made comments 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:33.760 that Chinese leadership found insulting. 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:39.680 Lutnik said he wants Chinese developers to get addicted to American technology. 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 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.519 buzz. They outlawed setting your phone to 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 00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:56.159 sponsor sy.

Trump Mobile has posted a new T1 phone image. Not another image of 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:59.199 the same T1 phone. It's a different T1 00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:02.400 phone image, which really seems like a 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.840 photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.320 with a Spigen case on it. The tweet is 00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:13.840 somehow still up despite the attached community note and a tweet from Spigen 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:17.680 promising a lawsuit, but of of course the tweet's still up. Trump mobile 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 00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:27.919 every couple months. Their website still has the old pick of the gold iPhone. And 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.080 why does this guy look like he wants to eat me? 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:37.440 The 12volt high power connector strikes again, but this time taking down its 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:40.080 first AMD victim. A user called Savings 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:44.080 Opportunity 3 posted last month on Reddit asking if they should be 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.880 concerned about melting and showed off a picture of their cable. One month after 00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:52.880 a user responded saying AMD cards don't have a melting problem. Uh well uh well 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.240 the cable melted. Now this was one of the very few AMD cards that uses this 00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.600 connector. It was an ASRock Taichi RX970 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:05.360 XT, so most Radeon users should be safe. 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:07.520 And this guy says his GPU still works 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.800 until it doesn't. Speaking of AMD, it seems like someone over there had some 00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:17.360 butter fingers and accidentally posted the entire source code for FSR4 up on 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.280 GitHub. FSR4 or Fidelity FX Super 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.039 Resolution 4 is AMD's resolution upscaling and frame generation 00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:28.000 technology. And in this source code, it seems to suggest that AMD had at least 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:33.440 tried to get it working on some older RDNA3 GPUs, not just the newest ones. 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.960 The GitHub page was pulled down almost immediately, but that didn't stop people 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.840 from getting at least some screenshots and maybe even some downloads of the 00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:46.639 repo, but until someone does something with it, we can only dream of GPU makers 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:53.199 being generous and giving our older cards new features. Stop the agism. AI 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:55.759 startup Dynamics Lab has released Mirage 00:06:53.199 --> 00:07:00.800 2, which looks essentially like Google's recently unveiled world model Genie 3, 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.960 but with less limits. And this one's actually playable. You can generate a 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.199 world based off any image. And like Genie 3, you can add additional prompts 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:14.479 while playing through it. So you can seamlessly bring Red Dead Redemption 2's 00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:18.560 Arthur Morgan into a cyberpunk city or an alien planet, which Rockstar didn't 00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.319 include in the real game. probably because they didn't have this tool. So, 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:26.160 someone get Rockstar on the phone. They need to see this. They They need our 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:30.720 help. And to the surprise of no one, someone managed to get Doom running on a 00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:36.560 random piece of tech that has a screen. YouTuber Aaron Kristoffell Christophel 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.560 showed off his modded Anchor Prime charging station and even uses the 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.039 little dial on the side to control the game in perhaps the jankiest way 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:50.720 possible. As for specs, the charging station has 8 MGB of SD RAM and 16 MGB 00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:55.599 of external flash, proving that your overpowered gaming PC is entirely 00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:00.960 unnecessary. People are out gaming in caves with a box of scraps. Um, it's a 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 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:08.960 or go to bed, depending on where you are. Regardless, just come back on 00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:14.000 Monday for more tech news. And I want you outside until then. It's cold. wear 00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:16.400 a coat. I'm just kidding. You can do whatever you want.
