giving Chachi BT a level of long-term memory allowing it to remember details from past conversations between if you're worried about a potentially embarrassing confession you made to the bot the last time you talked don't be the new feature is currently only available to a limited number of users and or test subjects which is how the AI thinks of all this is a Triumph human I'm testing something walk forward there's a fire there those users will also have access to a memory management panel that will allow them to delete past information shared with the bot a feature which sadly has not been rolled out to any of your human friends or co-workers one day though it's not clear exactly how chat BT will be forming these memories but it's likely compressing and summarizing past conversations so that it can pull out at least a few Salient details like a kindly but uninterested grandmother where did you say you were going to school I thought you already got a haircut I did last year it's important to remember however that even when chat history is off llm chat Bots can be collecting a surprising amount of information about their users you might be able to trust a company like Google to mostly tell you what they're collecting and why such as in Gemini's new privacy policy collection of conversations location feedback and usage information can be turned off but even if you do that they still have to keep it for 72 hours so but lower profile chat Bots like all those online AI wuss can be an absolute privacy nightmare the kind where you show up to class with no pants on and your teacher knows your social security number and all your teeth fall out in that order welcome to class citizen number 793 no Jensen Wong of NVIDIA and Sam Alman of open AI the bad boys of AI development in the sense that one of them wears a leather jacket and the other is only 38 nothing but a boy aired some public beef this week which doesn't sound sanitary at all that's for sure okay first Alman called out critics of his goal to raise $7 trillion for a new AI chip development project for which he claims to already have plenty of interested investors to all the haters calling his plan nothing but absurd Showmanship meant to Captivate a cult-like audience and a mindboggling concentration of limited resources onto a single project Altman said you can grind to help secure our Collective future or you can write substacks about why we're going to fail I'm on the side of the robots I've never intimidated anyone in my life well Jensen Wong indirectly added himself to alman's list of detractors at the world government Summit in Dubai when he answered a question from a UAE official by saying that due to likely future advances in Computing AI infrastructure would actually cost significantly less than the combined gdps of India in France instead Wong placed the global cost of AI data centers at around $2 trillion by 2029 he likewise argued that every country in the world should independently control its own AI infrastructure what he called Sovereign AI which is not frightening at all meanwhile Jensen's little startup NVIDIA has launched a tech demo for a personalized chatbot that runs locally on a user's PC and can answer questions about your local files this of course is part of NVIDIA's master plan where a significant fraction of the population inevitably decides to date their own computers and needs to buy more and more powerful graphics cards to upgrade their spouse I just want a wife with raid tracing I don't think it's going to work you're just

most important part about quick bits is the ability to tell the quick apart from the bid the feverish hype surrounding Apple's Vision Pro has been tempered thanks to a wave of early adopters tearfully announcing that they're returning their $3500 headsets before the 14-day return period ends citing issues with weight comfort and compatibility I just don't think we're meant for each other where's the r tracing Parker or Tani of VOX media tweeted that he couldn't even believe what was happening as he took a photo of his headset placed back upon the Spotless white oak table from whence it came the drama of it all no doubt seems a bit strange to some tech enthusiasts who've been playing with similar headsets for a decade and who may or may not agree with Mark Zuckerberg who after after trying the Vision Pro posted a casual couch video calling his company's 499 Quest 3 the better product period and otherwise absolutely ripping the Vision Pro a new one for being a terrible value I could have never foreseen Zuck coming off as relatable but here we are speaking of Apple researchers from the company published a paper on a new AI tool called key framer that can animate static images when given text prompts using the tool you can make a planet spin or make stars twinkle in an image oh that's nice apparently the researchers see a use case for graphics professionals who can use the tool to test out animation ideas before spending hours making them conventionally personally I see a use case where my years of effort trying to never do anything embarrassing and GIF in front of a camera can be undone by an apple Enthusiast with a dream thankfully this is not available to the public yet it's long been the case that Windows 11 isn't officially supported on many older PCS but changes to the upcoming 24 H2 preview build will prevent the OS from even booting on PCS manufactured prior to the late 2000s specifically the build Microsoft is currently testing requires an instruction called popcnt or population count thank goodness which counts the number of bits in a machine word which is what AIS use to talk to each other that particular instruction was only implemented in AMD and Intel processors starting in 2007 and 2008 respectively meaning that absolute potatoes from 2006 and prior will no longer just run Windows 11 poorly they won't run it at all oh you know until somebody finds a workaround which they probably will I don't know why they would I love me a baked potato and Windows 10 is better still so I just fix the settings panel in Windows 11 and then we can talk SpaceX will be performing controlled descents of about a 100 old Starling satellites due to an issue that could cause them to fail and lead to uncontrolled descents which are worse the affected satellites will have their orbits slowly lower over about 6 months to try and avoid any collisions in further space safety news SpaceX also postponed the launch of a private moonlander after they detected the Lander's liquid methane fuel temperatures were improper they showed up to work in sweat penss hopefully the temperature they detected wasn't around 310° Kelvin because that's human body temperature it would be really embarrassing if some scientist delayed a space flight with a poorly timed fart Jacob warned us there was a fart joke and burglar responsible for a string of at least nine thefts in Minnesota are reportedly using Wi-Fi Jammers to shut down internet enabled home security systems according to security expert Mark lanterman the thieves probably aren't blocking the signal but rather temporarily overloading the network allowing them to waltz inside and peruse whatever valuables and Underpants happen to be lying around my house would be a gold mine jewelry underwear jewelry those two things only time to make some tea open the pantry underwear while commercial Jammers of this kind are pretty much universally illegal in the United States they're also available for around 40 bucks online so most experts advise using the kind of hardwired cameras and alarms that won't turn off if your cat knocks over the modem while they're tripping over all the underwear yes my cat wears underwear and you better fetch your cat on Friday so you can sit them on your lap and watch the next episode of TechLink as a family that's important your cat needs to know about this stuff"}
