00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:07.120
I'm a news reporter I report serious

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:10.920
news the gravity of these stories I report is not undercut by my adorable

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:14.440
cat shirt I am a

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.600
professional okay Apple has allegedly

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.560
been shredding usable iPhones for years

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.679
according to a report from Bloomberg apple pays an outside contractor geep

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.680
Canada Limited to shred older devices customers have traded in

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:37.960
geep apparently handles about a qu million devices per year many of which

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:43.200
are fully functional and could easily be resold case in point Apple actually sued

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:47.960
geep in 2020 for breach of contract after iPhones they sent to the

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.920
contractor were reactivated in China Tim

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:55.920
Cook and the copertino croners claimed that at least

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:58.640
99,9 75 iPhones sent to geep ended up on

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:03.480
the gry market instead of being shredded now Apple has apparent decided not to

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:08.000
move forward with the lawsuit perhaps due to the risk of exposing exactly how

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:13.600
many usable devices Apple scraps each year and why after all the I company has

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.880
been busy trying to construct an image of eco-friendliness just this week the

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:24.119
Apple UK YouTube channel posted a video celebrating how their recycling robot

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:26.840
Daisy can recover recyclable materials

00:01:24.119 --> 00:01:32.280
from 23 different models of iPhone what they don't mention is that Daisy can

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:38.840
apparently only dismantle in a year what Apple sells in 48 hours 2 days the

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:43.920
company's site also explicitly says they will resell trade-ins if they are in

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

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:55.280
on tip cook tell show us how shredded you are I like being shredded shred your

00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:00.920
mom and iPhone I don't know Microsoft has

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:06.079
created an AI model that can generate realistic animated Talking Heads from a

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:11.080
single portrait photo and audio file a research paper calls the model Vasa one

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:15.360
oh cool they're planning a sequel already and it can generate these

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:20.200
animations in real time with a demo even showing how the animated portraits head

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:24.000
can be rotated generating realistic angles that aren't present in the

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:29.040
original image Microsoft refers to these videos as talking faces that's not

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:32.200
inaccurate to say but it does downplay how easy it would be for a Microsoft

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.680
employee to fake a video of me confessing to a crime somehow however

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.959
the thought of being framed is less horrifying than this video researchers

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.760
decided to make of Mona Lisa rapping

00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:48.360
speaking of stories that will get that nightmare off the screen Microsoft's

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.879
upcoming AI Explorer feature which turns everything you do on your computer into

00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:57.400
a searchable memory may be exclusive to ARM powerered devices user atthe bookis

00:02:55.640 --> 00:03:02.239
closed on Twitter spotted that the system requirements for AI Explorer are

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

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.200
missing out if that's true there are many things that I've seen on my

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:13.519
computer that I don't want to remember and at least one was created by

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.799
Microsoft monisa why she's barely smiling why

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.799
would you make a WAP meta announced early versions of its llama 3 AI model

00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:25.280
like llama 2 the model is semiopen with

00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.159
the code and weights available with restrictions the AI industry doesn't

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

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:36.560
thrown in prison for something I didn't do llama 3 Powers meta AI which the

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:41.640
company has now made more widely available via its own site the web page

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.599
claims you can ask meta AI anything you can even simulate what I'm assuming from

00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:48.879
The Chosen illustration is the sexiest mockin viiew of all time is that

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:54.879
pink-haired figure putting on that jacket or taking it off meta AI is also

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:58.879
integrated into Facebook in some regions and is apparently able to respond to

00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:03.000
group posts it can respond to questions with answers Genera quote using

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:07.920
information from the group including user generated content like posts and

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.400
comments oh and meta might then use any information you posted in the group to

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

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

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:22.400
share with your aunts and uncles or just send them this video hi

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:27.199
guys now it's time for quick pits brought to you by manscaped if your hair

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:32.440
down there is causing despair manscaped lawnmower 5.0 Ultra is here to help help

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:37.160
it comes with both a trimmer blade and a foil blade letting you choose between

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:42.240
buzzcut and bald either way looking good to navigate through the follicle Forest

00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:46.720
the lawnmower 5.0 Ultra even comes with an LED light so you can see right

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:50.960
through the local Flora it's also portable and charges conveniently with a

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:56.840
USBC cable so you can whack weeds basically anywhere at any time of day no

00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:59.919
matter how dark it is go nuts check out

00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:02.840

/ TechLink and use code TechLink for 20% off and free shipping you know what I

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:12.800
like the most quick bits please don't tell my mom

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:17.440
what I'm referencing tsmc is planning to charge customers more for chips made

00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:20.880
outside of Taiwan it's a bit ironic since the whole reason for opening up

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.400
Fabs outside the island nation is the incredible geopolitical and economic

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:30.960
risk of having 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductor production in

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:33.479
Taiwan also known as the star of 100% of

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.440
xiin Ping's wet dreams unfortunately construction costs and operational

00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:43.560
expenses are much higher outside of Taiwan and as a result chips produced in

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:45.240
their Arizona Fabs could be 20 to 30%

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:50.280
more expensive than their Taiwanese counterparts that's right they're

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:55.840
passing the charges on to you they're practically giving the fees

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:58.440
away it's a Ed car salesman you get it

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

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.720
like Tik tok's new app Tik Tock light

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:11.240
which rewards users with real currency for completing tasks it's about time Tik

00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:17.520
tokers got paid for the hard labor involved in things like watching videos

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:22.080
liking videos and inviting friends to join Tik Tok but the European commission

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.800
isn't into putting children to work for foreign corporations or melting their

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.400
brains so they've given Tik Tok 14 hours to provide an assessment of the risk

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

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:40.319
already seen a number of slack jot kids in suits out and about and I'm

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:45.960
concerned they're coming for me Tesla has issued a recall for all

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.639
3,878 of the Cyber trunks not cyber

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

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:55.840
Tesla has issued a recall for all

00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.280
3,878 of the Cyber trucks it has delivered so far due to a manufacturing

00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:05.319
defect that can cause the accelerator pedal to become stuck at Full Throttle

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:10.599
it's a defect that many are calling wicked cool sick and potentially lethal

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:15.199
apparently the defect was caused by somebody using the wrong Lube during

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:20.080
assembly relatable happens to the best of us what this means primarily is that

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.919
Tesla will be replacing all defective pedals in the affected vehicles but it

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.639
also means that we now know exactly how many cyber trucks Tesla has managed to

00:07:26.599 --> 00:07:32.879
ship and that it's a number not even worth rounding

00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:38.240
in a major first Quantum information has been successfully produced stored and

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:43.000
then retrieved this is a big deal for future Quantum networking just like the

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:48.800
current Internet information can be lost when sent over long distances to combat

00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:53.800
this normal internet uses repeaters that read and reamplify the signal but such

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:58.440
systems would destroy Quantum information fortunately researchers have

00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:02.479
created a prototype Quantum memory system that is crucially compatible with

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.080
current fiber optic infrastructure while it hasn't been tested for distance it's

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:10.199
an important step toward a Quantum Internet where you can Quantum text your

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:16.560
Quantum wife about the funny thing your Quantum dog just did or something like

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:18.199
that Quantum dank memes Quantum nudes is

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

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:26.280
Amazon has pushed back against claims that it's just walk out cashierless

00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:30.199
technology isn't really technology unless you count a thousand workers in

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:34.039
India watching people shop at technology in a blog post this week the tech giant

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:39.599
called the initial report published by the information untrue and while it

00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:44.480
didn't provide any specific numbers it insisted that its human workers only

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:49.040
annotate shopping data to improve the AI not to stand in for it so Shoppers can

00:08:46.959 --> 00:08:53.800
rest easy knowing their purchases are being tracked not by mysterious squishy

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:57.800
flesh bags but by perfectly normal unfeeling algorithms and it's perfectly

00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:02.640
normal for you to come back on Monday for more Tech news and then on Tuesday

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:07.839
there will be gaming news on gamelink it has a similar mouth feel to Tech news

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:12.519
but with a much gamier

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:12.519
flavor bam puns
