1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:07,120
I'm a news reporter I report serious

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:10,920
news the gravity of these stories I report is not undercut by my adorable

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,440
cat shirt I am a

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:21,600
professional okay Apple has allegedly

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,560
been shredding usable iPhones for years

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,679
according to a report from Bloomberg apple pays an outside contractor geep

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Canada Limited to shred older devices customers have traded in

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:37,960
geep apparently handles about a qu million devices per year many of which

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:43,200
are fully functional and could easily be resold case in point Apple actually sued

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,960
geep in 2020 for breach of contract after iPhones they sent to the

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,920
contractor were reactivated in China Tim

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Cook and the copertino croners claimed that at least

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,640
99,9 75 iPhones sent to geep ended up on

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,480
the gry market instead of being shredded now Apple has apparent decided not to

15
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:08,000
move forward with the lawsuit perhaps due to the risk of exposing exactly how

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:13,600
many usable devices Apple scraps each year and why after all the I company has

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,880
been busy trying to construct an image of eco-friendliness just this week the

18
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:24,119
Apple UK YouTube channel posted a video celebrating how their recycling robot

19
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:26,840
Daisy can recover recyclable materials

20
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:32,280
from 23 different models of iPhone what they don't mention is that Daisy can

21
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:38,840
apparently only dismantle in a year what Apple sells in 48 hours 2 days the

22
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:43,920
company's site also explicitly says they will resell trade-ins if they are in

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:49,280
good shape but I know of at least 99,9 75 reasons that's a bit misleading come

24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:55,280
on tip cook tell show us how shredded you are I like being shredded shred your

25
00:01:52,719 --> 00:02:00,920
mom and iPhone I don't know Microsoft has

26
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:06,079
created an AI model that can generate realistic animated Talking Heads from a

27
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:11,080
single portrait photo and audio file a research paper calls the model Vasa one

28
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,360
oh cool they're planning a sequel already and it can generate these

29
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,200
animations in real time with a demo even showing how the animated portraits head

30
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,000
can be rotated generating realistic angles that aren't present in the

31
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,040
original image Microsoft refers to these videos as talking faces that's not

32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,200
inaccurate to say but it does downplay how easy it would be for a Microsoft

33
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,680
employee to fake a video of me confessing to a crime somehow however

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,959
the thought of being framed is less horrifying than this video researchers

35
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,760
decided to make of Mona Lisa rapping

36
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:48,360
speaking of stories that will get that nightmare off the screen Microsoft's

37
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,879
upcoming AI Explorer feature which turns everything you do on your computer into

38
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:57,400
a searchable memory may be exclusive to ARM powerered devices user atthe bookis

39
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:02,239
closed on Twitter spotted that the system requirements for AI Explorer are

40
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:06,319
set to to an ARM 64 CPU in a recent Windows 11 preview build I'm fine with

41
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:09,200
missing out if that's true there are many things that I've seen on my

42
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:13,519
computer that I don't want to remember and at least one was created by

43
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:17,799
Microsoft monisa why she's barely smiling why

44
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:23,799
would you make a WAP meta announced early versions of its llama 3 AI model

45
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:25,280
like llama 2 the model is semiopen with

46
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,159
the code and weights available with restrictions the AI industry doesn't

47
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,159
have a term for that yet but it'll probably come out around the time I'm

48
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,560
thrown in prison for something I didn't do llama 3 Powers meta AI which the

49
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,640
company has now made more widely available via its own site the web page

50
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,599
claims you can ask meta AI anything you can even simulate what I'm assuming from

51
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:48,879
The Chosen illustration is the sexiest mockin viiew of all time is that

52
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:54,879
pink-haired figure putting on that jacket or taking it off meta AI is also

53
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,879
integrated into Facebook in some regions and is apparently able to respond to

54
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,000
group posts it can respond to questions with answers Genera quote using

55
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,920
information from the group including user generated content like posts and

56
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,400
comments oh and meta might then use any information you posted in the group to

57
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,680
train their Ai and if you don't want that to happen and you're not a group

58
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,479
admin you need to delete anything you posted that's a fun fact you may want to

59
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,400
share with your aunts and uncles or just send them this video hi

60
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:27,199
guys now it's time for quick pits brought to you by manscaped if your hair

61
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:32,440
down there is causing despair manscaped lawnmower 5.0 Ultra is here to help help

62
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,160
it comes with both a trimmer blade and a foil blade letting you choose between

63
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:42,240
buzzcut and bald either way looking good to navigate through the follicle Forest

64
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:46,720
the lawnmower 5.0 Ultra even comes with an LED light so you can see right

65
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,960
through the local Flora it's also portable and charges conveniently with a

66
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:56,840
USBC cable so you can whack weeds basically anywhere at any time of day no

67
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,919
matter how dark it is go nuts check out

70
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:12,800
like the most quick bits please don't tell my mom

71
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:17,440
what I'm referencing tsmc is planning to charge customers more for chips made

72
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,880
outside of Taiwan it's a bit ironic since the whole reason for opening up

73
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Fabs outside the island nation is the incredible geopolitical and economic

74
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:30,960
risk of having 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductor production in

75
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Taiwan also known as the star of 100% of

76
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,440
xiin Ping's wet dreams unfortunately construction costs and operational

77
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:43,560
expenses are much higher outside of Taiwan and as a result chips produced in

78
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,240
their Arizona Fabs could be 20 to 30%

79
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:50,280
more expensive than their Taiwanese counterparts that's right they're

80
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:55,840
passing the charges on to you they're practically giving the fees

81
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,440
away it's a Ed car salesman you get it

82
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:04,360
you're smart that's why I like you the EU just found another thing it doesn't

83
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:06,720
like Tik tok's new app Tik Tock light

84
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,240
which rewards users with real currency for completing tasks it's about time Tik

85
00:06:09,479 --> 00:06:17,520
tokers got paid for the hard labor involved in things like watching videos

86
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:22,080
liking videos and inviting friends to join Tik Tok but the European commission

87
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,800
isn't into putting children to work for foreign corporations or melting their

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,400
brains so they've given Tik Tok 14 hours to provide an assessment of the risk

89
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,000
that the app could cause those things to happen Tik Tok will answer 0% but I've

90
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:40,319
already seen a number of slack jot kids in suits out and about and I'm

91
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:45,960
concerned they're coming for me Tesla has issued a recall for all

92
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,639
3,878 of the Cyber trunks not cyber

93
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:53,520
trunks have you seen my cyber trunks I use them when I swim in my cyber pool

94
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Tesla has issued a recall for all

95
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,280
3,878 of the Cyber trucks it has delivered so far due to a manufacturing

96
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:05,319
defect that can cause the accelerator pedal to become stuck at Full Throttle

97
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:10,599
it's a defect that many are calling wicked cool sick and potentially lethal

98
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:15,199
apparently the defect was caused by somebody using the wrong Lube during

99
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:20,080
assembly relatable happens to the best of us what this means primarily is that

100
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,919
Tesla will be replacing all defective pedals in the affected vehicles but it

101
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:28,639
also means that we now know exactly how many cyber trucks Tesla has managed to

102
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:32,879
ship and that it's a number not even worth rounding

103
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:38,240
in a major first Quantum information has been successfully produced stored and

104
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:43,000
then retrieved this is a big deal for future Quantum networking just like the

105
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:48,800
current Internet information can be lost when sent over long distances to combat

106
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:53,800
this normal internet uses repeaters that read and reamplify the signal but such

107
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,440
systems would destroy Quantum information fortunately researchers have

108
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:02,479
created a prototype Quantum memory system that is crucially compatible with

109
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,080
current fiber optic infrastructure while it hasn't been tested for distance it's

110
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,199
an important step toward a Quantum Internet where you can Quantum text your

111
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:16,560
Quantum wife about the funny thing your Quantum dog just did or something like

112
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:18,199
that Quantum dank memes Quantum nudes is

113
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,840
she naked I don't know if she's naked but I know how fast she's going and

114
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,280
Amazon has pushed back against claims that it's just walk out cashierless

115
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:30,199
technology isn't really technology unless you count a thousand workers in

116
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,039
India watching people shop at technology in a blog post this week the tech giant

117
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:39,599
called the initial report published by the information untrue and while it

118
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:44,480
didn't provide any specific numbers it insisted that its human workers only

119
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:49,040
annotate shopping data to improve the AI not to stand in for it so Shoppers can

120
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:53,800
rest easy knowing their purchases are being tracked not by mysterious squishy

121
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,800
flesh bags but by perfectly normal unfeeling algorithms and it's perfectly

122
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,640
normal for you to come back on Monday for more Tech news and then on Tuesday

123
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:07,839
there will be gaming news on gamelink it has a similar mouth feel to Tech news

124
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:12,519
but with a much gamier

125
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:12,519
flavor bam puns
