00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.920
3D models for valve's new VR controller

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.080
I'm not reading that you got to read that I'm not reading that it's our

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:14.839
thousandth episode did you even know it's not do this for me it is say it one

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:20.199
say it one time to celebrate our 1,000th episode Riley asked me to say quick bits

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:25.640
a thousand times so here it is quick bits a thousand

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:30.279
times oh I wanted to be here a while 3D models for valve's new VR controllers

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:34.960
code named Roy have been found in driver files for steam VR by who else Brad

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.480
Lynch a developer and Creator who's really shown what it looks like to make

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:42.760
leaking valve stuff your whole personality a good way Brad and his

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.199
community quickly generated highquality renders of the controllers which look

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.440
very similar to The Meta Quest 3 and 3s controllers with no tracking Rings or

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:55.760
valve index style knuckle straps let's grip it or lose it baby lint also posted

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:01.280
the designs in their Discord so people could 3D print them which they did and

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:05.880
boy howdy do those ever look like VR controllers made of extruded plastic the

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:10.240
Roy controllers are likely to pair with valve's decked VR headset which has been

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.159
described in prolific leaks by Lynch and is expected to foro the index's tracking

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:21.000
base stations in favor of meta Quest style Inside Out tracking that is

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:26.360
interesting but perhaps not as exciting as the also leak designed for something

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:30.640
code named Ibex aka the steam controller

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:33.240
2 aka the steam Duke I new valve still

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.880
had some innovation in them good job make it chunkier Google is turning

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.479
normal Texton websites into links to its own search results within the Google app

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.880
in an obvious Cry for Help while being sued for favoring its own services in

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:50.880
multiple jurisdictions the feature spotted by Barry Schwarz of search

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:55.439
engine round table is called page annotations and was rolled out by Google

00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:01.520
about a week ago as a new way to get more info by modifying website owners

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:06.520
Pages for them and steering users away from the site they're currently using

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:08.840
we're helping Google's own example shows

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:13.120
an annotation turning the first two words of an article describing Osaka

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:17.000
Castle into a link to a Google search for the very same thing which is a bit

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:22.400
like dumping the water cooler on your coach while he's swimming Labs gotcha

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:26.239
website owners can opt out of the feature by filling out a form all you've

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:29.200
got to do is enter the URLs that you represent in a comma separated list

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.879
including all variations of the domain and then wait 30 days for it to take

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:40.159
effect wait you don't want links we links lus a group of artists given

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:44.280
Early Access to open AI Sora video generator for the purpose of testing

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.879
leaked the tools API key on the model hosting platform hugging face briefly

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:53.560
giving anyone the ability to summon hyper realistic videos of Sheba inu's

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:58.360
riding surfboards in space or cats riding surfboards in space those really

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:03.680
are the two main ones in a blog post the group going by PR puppets decried open

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:07.840
AI using hundreds of artists to perform bug testing and experimental work with

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:13.120
no compensation beyond the chance to enter a competition to have their Sora

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:17.319
created films screened pretty good they now feel like they were lured into

00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:21.080
artwashing making it seem like open AI cares about the Arts as something other

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:25.400
than refined fuel that its Advanced hallucinator can burn to make more AI

00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:30.519
slop in a statement open AI basically said well nobody made you sign up to

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.959
test it and the company will quote continue to support artists through

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:39.280
grants events and other programs just not this one anymore open AI obviously

00:03:37.799 --> 00:03:43.360
cut off access to Sora when they discovered the leak but some managed to

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.159
generate a few rather uninteresting videos of some dudes running down an

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.000
alley and a cat yawning couldn't you have given it a pirate hat or something

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:55.959
that would have been art and and make him wear rain boots yeah it's good I

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.799
mean not that he would need them if you checked out our sponsor vessie who says

00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:02.959
their shoes are waterproof yet feel comfortable right out of the box which

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.920
is much better than plastic bags wrapped around your feet trust me I would know

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:10.879
and trust me again when I say that VY shoes are godsent here in Vancouver

00:04:09.079 --> 00:04:16.600
where the rain seems to be still holding a grudge against all of us I don't know

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.400

before the best deals slip away at the link down below little a little smaller

00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:37.240
part parts of news cute tootes just just an idea tsmc has shown off its plans to

00:04:34.919 --> 00:04:43.400
upgrade its chip on wafer on substrate or cowos technology to support much

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:48.600
bigger interposers and up to 12 stacks of hbm 4 memory by 2027 this will allow

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:54.280
chip designers to build processors the size of a human Palm not mine like a

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:58.360
real one like bigger uh it's not quite the same as those wafer scale chips from

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.639
cerebras but it's about what you do with it you know in other chip news Intel's

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:09.560
chips act funding has finally been finalized at $ 7.86 billion pending the

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.960
company achieving certain Milestones it's a little less than the original 82

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.840
billion but the government threw in an extra free Bill if Intel gives them some

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:23.520
extra secure processors here's a tip Intel make them better than the last gen

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:28.280
ones just an idea I mean a processor that doesn't work is pretty

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.840
secure Microsoft has clarified that it is not training AI on your documents

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:38.160
after a bit of public confusion over a feature called connected experiences in

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:41.560
Microsoft 365 which is what they call office now and which shares the same

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.000
logo as co-pilot for some reason I really hope Microsoft figures out at

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:51.160
some point that branding is important bring back clippy and in other AI news

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.199
Microsoft is no doubt one of the massive

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:59.039
corporations that owns too many game studios according to a tweet from Elon

00:05:55.280 --> 00:06:00.280
Musk therefore his solution is that xai

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:06.520
is going to make games great Again by starting an AI game

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:09.080
studio with Blackjack and hookers no

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:13.319
wait sorry no wait it really is just that isn't it awesome Beyond any

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:17.759
concerns I may have about the abundance of procedurally generated mobile zombie

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:22.360
games that we already have I think the thing that stands out most about this is

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:27.080
I just don't get the logic behind xai which is owned by the world's richest

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:30.919
man and is now worth like $50 billion not counting as a massive Corporation

00:06:29.599 --> 00:06:34.199
well they have a bigger bank account but it's like two people like now that

00:06:32.599 --> 00:06:37.919
gaming handhelds are all the rage it's time the market got a little more wacky

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:42.199
with the designs a patent file by Samsung and spotted by 91 mobiles

00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:47.520
describes a handheld that takes a page from the company's zones book and then

00:06:44.919 --> 00:06:52.319
folds it in half so that the two ends with controller buttons meet they're

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.720
kissing and then there's this 10-cent 3D one a concept device powered by lunar

00:06:54.840 --> 00:07:01.360
Lake which basically looks like an Rog Ally but with a massive 11-in screen

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.680
between detachable controllers which looks perfect for getting in some reps

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.720
while gaming you can finally stop playing Beat saber and researchers in

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.199
Hong Kong have published a paper detailing a way to deliver different

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:18.000
taste experiences through a prototype electronic

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:20.280
lollipop or as the researchers call it a

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.520
miniaturized portable gustation interface Microsoft is that you designed

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:33.199
for mixed reality the device Alters its own taste using iono foris sending ions

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:39.560
to transport flavor chemicals through a biologically safe hydrel the flavors on

00:07:36.280 --> 00:07:42.160
offer include Citrus Cherry milk green

00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:46.400
tea passion fruit grapefruit and durian huh as long as I only taste it and I

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:51.120
don't have to smell it then I'm okay and you know what I would like to smell you

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:56.080
coming back on Friday to get more Tech news from me that'll be the Thousand

00:07:53.560 --> 00:08:02.199
first episode which is kind of special in its own way I guess it's another it's

00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.199
also an episode it's also a number
