00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.080
when you look back at your life and see how much Tech news you absorbed through

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:11.120
these do you think you'll have any regrets because Now's the Time to do

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:17.680
something about it okay we're doing it Google is wisely

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:21.039
rebranding both its B chatbot and duet

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.519
AI for workspace as Gemini the name of

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:28.199
the language model most strongly remembered for its heinously deceptive

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:32.480
demo good choice but the tech giant says you shouldn't be surprised if Gemini

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:37.040
still refers to itself as barred for a while presumably because it's inherited

00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:42.360
its Creator's proclivity for bull it's also Sydney on week but the new Gemini

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:48.840
Advanced a paid tier powered by the flagship Gemini Ultra 1.0 model might do

00:00:46.199 --> 00:00:55.039
a bit better early Impressions seem to broadly agree that Gemini is indeed a

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.640
chatbot but one that is noticably worse

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:01.079
than GPT 4 YouTuber AI explained found

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:06.240
out the jailbreaks cited as one reason for Gemini's delayed roll out still work

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.439
although fellow Creator fireship thought Gemini was better at Bowski inspired

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

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

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.560
Gemini Advanced can be accessed through the new Google one AI premium

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.079
subscription for 20 bucks a month the same price as chat GPT plus but at least

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:33.320
Google's plan also gives you the standard Google one benefits and Gemini

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.520
integration into Gmail and drive but the most interesting part of this story

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.960
might be that Gemini can replace Google assistant on Android with a popup

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.680
overlay that can read what's on your screen and connect to Google's other

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:50.600
services if you have the new app which is only available in the US right now

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:54.719
not here in Canada even worse Americans can install two Gemini apps since the

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

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

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.719
good enough the Timbits are always there

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.720
Sony the parent company of anime streaming platforms FUNimation and

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.560
Crunchyroll and a few other companies I guess is merging those two Services

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.640
together and in so doing deleting digital copies of content users

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:23.560
purchased from FUNimation the move follows multiple instances of Sony

00:02:21.720 --> 00:02:27.760
removing content that users had purchased from the PlayStation Store

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:31.640
like a kid sneaking the Brussels sprouts as Mom just bought into the garbage now

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.120
now some of the codes for these digital copies were included with physical

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.959
Blu-rays or DVDs of anime dubbed and released by FUNimation so customers may

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.720
still have access to their content if they didn't lose the discs but

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.959
FUNimation had promised access to customers digital copies forever and if

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

00:02:52.040 --> 00:03:00.080
for my Halloween robot costume think Sony or frisbees to add insult to injury

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:06.200
the new Service formed by Funimation and crunchy rolls merger called crunchy roll

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.640
is getting a $20 price hike to 100 bucks

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:13.239
per year for what the privilege of having Sony steal my vegetables or am I

00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:17.920
going to get my nutrients Instagram and meta's Twitter competitor threads will

00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:22.640
no longer proactively recommend political content because toxic social

00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:26.400
media discourse should be centered around which AI generated influencer is

00:03:24.799 --> 00:03:30.480
hotter or more importantly which of their fake dogs is cuter the two

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:34.720
platforms are following in the footsteps of Facebook which had already minimized

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:39.879
the prevalence of political content in its Newsfeed and reals if you still

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:45.720
somehow manag to stumble onto a politics related Instagram or threads account you

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:47.879
can follow it and see the divisive

00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:52.280
partisan tripe at posts in your feed if you're some kind of masochistic sicko

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.879
and creators who specialize in said tripe and are concerned with the new

00:03:54.040 --> 00:03:59.680
rules maybe affecting their engagement can check whether that's happening under

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:04.000
account status in their profile settings threads and Instagram boss Adam masseri

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:09.120
said back when the Twitter like first launched that the platform would

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.040
specifically not prioritize news content

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

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:19.959
if the solution to social media's measurably negative effect on mental

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:26.240
health is something other than sealing your platform off into an even tighter

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

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:35.320

was it's me it's me cable mod issued a

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:22.680
voluntary recall of its angled adapters for NVIDIA graphics cards back in

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:26.600
December but now the US consumer product safety commission has made it official

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:31.840
it turns out that the maale connector can become loose and overheat resulting

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.919
in melting and potentially fire note

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:39.319
that while all angled adapters are affected angled cables are fine stick

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:43.160
them wherever you like champ okay the failure rate of these cables is only

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:50.160
estimated to be 1.07% but they've also caused around

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.360
$75,000 in damage so far they're inidia

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.759
graphics cards and they're on fire it adds up fast the FCC has officially

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:03.280
deemed unsolicited rooc calls using AI generated voices illegal under existing

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:07.599
law specifically the 1991 telephone consumer protection act the decision

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:11.960
means that the FCC will now be able to find anyone who tries to contact you

00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:19.720
about your car's extended warranty in the sultry tones of Frank Sinatra and

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.880
that sucks the Summer Wind check your

00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:25.759
Kia this will also give Attorneys General additional options to prosecute

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.479
telemarketers that violate these regulations as well as scammers that

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.560
pretend to be your recently kidnapped grandson who desperately needs you to

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

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

00:06:40.039 --> 00:06:46.039
Altman is seeking up to7 trillion dollar

00:06:43.599 --> 00:06:50.800
in investment to increase the world's chip building capacity and solve AI chip

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:56.720
scarcity sounds like the marketing pitch for this a real steal for just 13 times

00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:01.919
last year's Global chip sales Alman is talking to the governments of the US and

00:06:59.479 --> 00:07:07.720
the United Arab Emirates as well as industry Partners to try and achieve the

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:09.680
princely sum in more humble news NVIDIA

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:15.120
has created a new business unit to tackle the $30 billion custom AI chip

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:19.160
Market also known as the only AI chip Market NVIDIA hasn't cornered yet I'm

00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:23.400
sure things will change once Sam Alman raises enough money to buy Apple twice

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

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:32.440
eyeballs and give them crypto brilliant Labs a tech startup from formal Apple

00:07:30.039 --> 00:07:37.039

Noah app while the spectacles can answer many questions based on their design

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.879
most users will simply ask for the location of the nearest Craft brewery or

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:54.240
for the date of the next Decemberists concert included with the glasses is

00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:58.680
something called Mr power which is actually a mobile charger and not as I

00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:02.440
had assumed the name of maale enhancement pill you could buy at a gas

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:07.599
station and we've gotten a teaser of what Lenovo has in store for the Mobile

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

00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:32.800
with anybody through the display though because you'll just be too busy trying

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:37.599
to find the stupid non-corporeal buttons
