1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,080
when you look back at your life and see how much Tech news you absorbed through

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:11,120
these do you think you'll have any regrets because Now's the Time to do

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:17,680
something about it okay we're doing it Google is wisely

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,039
rebranding both its B chatbot and duet

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,519
AI for workspace as Gemini the name of

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,199
the language model most strongly remembered for its heinously deceptive

7
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:32,480
demo good choice but the tech giant says you shouldn't be surprised if Gemini

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:37,040
still refers to itself as barred for a while presumably because it's inherited

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:42,360
its Creator's proclivity for bull it's also Sydney on week but the new Gemini

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:48,840
Advanced a paid tier powered by the flagship Gemini Ultra 1.0 model might do

11
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:55,039
a bit better early Impressions seem to broadly agree that Gemini is indeed a

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,640
chatbot but one that is noticably worse

13
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:01,079
than GPT 4 YouTuber AI explained found

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:06,240
out the jailbreaks cited as one reason for Gemini's delayed roll out still work

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,439
although fellow Creator fireship thought Gemini was better at Bowski inspired

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:14,880
poetry so I don't know maybe it's just a more artsy chatbot may you just need to

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:19,200
kind of like Get Down on its level a little bit I'm not like other Bots

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,560
Gemini Advanced can be accessed through the new Google one AI premium

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:28,079
subscription for 20 bucks a month the same price as chat GPT plus but at least

20
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,320
Google's plan also gives you the standard Google one benefits and Gemini

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,520
integration into Gmail and drive but the most interesting part of this story

22
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,960
might be that Gemini can replace Google assistant on Android with a popup

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,680
overlay that can read what's on your screen and connect to Google's other

24
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,600
services if you have the new app which is only available in the US right now

25
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:54,719
not here in Canada even worse Americans can install two Gemini apps since the

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,320
chat bot's also available in the regular assistant app there's not many of us up

27
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:04,320
here Google just ship it ship the extras it's all right we got timmies that's

28
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,719
good enough the Timbits are always there

29
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Sony the parent company of anime streaming platforms FUNimation and

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,560
Crunchyroll and a few other companies I guess is merging those two Services

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,640
together and in so doing deleting digital copies of content users

32
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:23,560
purchased from FUNimation the move follows multiple instances of Sony

33
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,760
removing content that users had purchased from the PlayStation Store

34
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,640
like a kid sneaking the Brussels sprouts as Mom just bought into the garbage now

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,120
now some of the codes for these digital copies were included with physical

36
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:40,959
Blu-rays or DVDs of anime dubbed and released by FUNimation so customers may

37
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,720
still have access to their content if they didn't lose the discs but

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,959
FUNimation had promised access to customers digital copies forever and if

39
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:54,440
I thought that was true why would I keep the discs instead of using them as eyes

40
00:02:52,040 --> 00:03:00,080
for my Halloween robot costume think Sony or frisbees to add insult to injury

41
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:06,200
the new Service formed by Funimation and crunchy rolls merger called crunchy roll

42
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,640
is getting a $20 price hike to 100 bucks

43
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:13,239
per year for what the privilege of having Sony steal my vegetables or am I

44
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:17,920
going to get my nutrients Instagram and meta's Twitter competitor threads will

45
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,640
no longer proactively recommend political content because toxic social

46
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:26,400
media discourse should be centered around which AI generated influencer is

47
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:30,480
hotter or more importantly which of their fake dogs is cuter the two

48
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,720
platforms are following in the footsteps of Facebook which had already minimized

49
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,879
the prevalence of political content in its Newsfeed and reals if you still

50
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:45,720
somehow manag to stumble onto a politics related Instagram or threads account you

51
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,879
can follow it and see the divisive

52
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:52,280
partisan tripe at posts in your feed if you're some kind of masochistic sicko

53
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:55,879
and creators who specialize in said tripe and are concerned with the new

54
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,680
rules maybe affecting their engagement can check whether that's happening under

55
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,000
account status in their profile settings threads and Instagram boss Adam masseri

56
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:09,120
said back when the Twitter like first launched that the platform would

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,040
specifically not prioritize news content

58
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,720
so this isn't coming completely out of left field but I can't help but wonder

59
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,959
if the solution to social media's measurably negative effect on mental

60
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:26,240
health is something other than sealing your platform off into an even tighter

61
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:30,680
bubble it's going to burst and then all of the moms and aunts are going to shoot

voluntary recall of its angled adapters for NVIDIA graphics cards back in

74
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:26,600
December but now the US consumer product safety commission has made it official

75
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,840
it turns out that the maale connector can become loose and overheat resulting

76
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,919
in melting and potentially fire note

77
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:39,319
that while all angled adapters are affected angled cables are fine stick

78
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,160
them wherever you like champ okay the failure rate of these cables is only

79
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:50,160
estimated to be 1.07% but they've also caused around

80
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,360
$75,000 in damage so far they're inidia

81
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,759
graphics cards and they're on fire it adds up fast the FCC has officially

82
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:03,280
deemed unsolicited rooc calls using AI generated voices illegal under existing

83
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,599
law specifically the 1991 telephone consumer protection act the decision

84
00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:11,960
means that the FCC will now be able to find anyone who tries to contact you

85
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:19,720
about your car's extended warranty in the sultry tones of Frank Sinatra and

86

00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,759
Kia this will also give Attorneys General additional options to prosecute

88
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,479
telemarketers that violate these regulations as well as scammers that

89
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:33,560
pretend to be your recently kidnapped grandson who desperately needs you to

90
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,720
buy him $3,000 in Best Buy gift cards although that could be real or not I

91
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:43,599
mean you don't you know what's real if he's asking for vbucks open AI CEO Sam

92
00:06:40,039 --> 00:06:46,039
Altman is seeking up to7 trillion dollar

in investment to increase the world's chip building capacity and solve AI chip

94
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:56,720
scarcity sounds like the marketing pitch for this a real steal for just 13 times

95
00:06:53,759 --> 00:07:01,919
last year's Global chip sales Alman is talking to the governments of the US and

96
00:06:59,479 --> 00:07:07,720
the United Arab Emirates as well as industry Partners to try and achieve the

97
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:09,680
princely sum in more humble news NVIDIA

98
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:15,120
has created a new business unit to tackle the $30 billion custom AI chip

99
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Market also known as the only AI chip Market NVIDIA hasn't cornered yet I'm

100
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:23,400
sure things will change once Sam Alman raises enough money to buy Apple twice

101
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:27,639
and he'll be able to give Vision Pros to all the children it'll scan their

106
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:49,879
most users will simply ask for the location of the nearest Craft brewery or

107
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,240
for the date of the next Decemberists concert included with the glasses is

108
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:58,680
something called Mr power which is actually a mobile charger and not as I

109
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,440

everybody else at the coffee shop the display is fully transparent with no

00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:24,560
visible bezel to speak of so you can really appreciate the handprints on both

00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,080
the front and the back of your screen don't worry about making eye contact

116
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:32,800
with anybody through the display though because you'll just be too busy trying

117
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:37,599
to find the stupid non-corporeal buttons

118
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:41,360
