WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960 It's officially been zero days since we've had an issue with our YouTube channel. 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.040 Why don't we celebrate by talking about other people's tech problems? 00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.700 Don't look at me. Next garage door openers have a serious vulnerability 00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:15.920 that means that their doors can be opened and controlled remotely. 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:21.280 And by remotely, we mean from literally anywhere on the planet by anyone with internet access. 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:27.080 The bug apparently also exposes device IDs, hopefully linked to name and email addresses 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:32.780 associated with the account. Details on the attack method have been left purposely vague 00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:37.860 because Next has yet to respond. Despite the security researcher who found the vulnerability 00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:41.540 reaching out to the company repeatedly since January, 00:00:41.540 --> 00:00:44.780 Next has likewise refused to reply to questions 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:48.140 from the US Department of Homeland Security. And I didn't even know you could do that 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:52.260 without getting arrested. They just don't have an email because then people could hack their garage doors. 00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:55.780 Homeland Security slides into your DMs and you're like, new phone, who dis? 00:00:55.780 --> 00:01:02.620 The same vulnerability works on other Next products too, which include smart wall plugs and alarm systems. 00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:05.700 That might not sound very smart to you, but it's like jazz. 00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.820 It's all about the homes you don't pretend. I think Miles Davis said that. 00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.780 Kilometers, Davis, for camera. Samsung Semiconductor has asked staff 00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:17.440 to stop using chat GPT less than a month after it first granted them access 00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:20.540 because their fab engineers apparently cannot be trusted 00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:25.180 to not give it proprietary data. Believe it or not, but chat bots on the internet 00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:29.380 store information you give them and you should not share confidential internal documents 00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:32.400 and source code from your job at the semiconductor factory, 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.540 no matter how tempting it may be. In a matter of weeks, Samsung linked chat GPT 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:41.020 to at least three separate leaks. It's like telling your least trustworthy coworker 00:01:41.020 --> 00:01:44.500 about your last doctor's appointment. You might as well just announce your test results 00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.900 to the whole break room. Samsung plans to develop its own AI for internal use, 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:54.300 which will hopefully contain the problem. It's not clear to what degree, if any, open AI 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:59.260 might be legally responsible for information chat GPT retains and reveals, 00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:05.580 but a recent legal suit might determine open AI's responsibility for the reliability of its output. 00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:08.940 An Australian mayor is suing open AI for defamation 00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:12.100 after chat GPT claimed he was facing charges 00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:16.020 in a foreign bribery scandal, when in fact, he was the whistleblower 00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.100 who brought the scandal to light. These errors are what are known 00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:24.300 in the field of artificial intelligence as a bit of a whoopsie daisy, so hot now. 00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:27.980 TikTok has been fined 12.7 million pounds 00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:31.300 for potentially tracking and profiling children. 00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:35.940 An estimated 1.4 million UK children, also known as lads and lasses, 00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:39.620 under the age of 13, used TikTok in 2020, 00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:45.820 which, when you do the math, comes out to a fine of around nine quid per child. 00:02:45.820 --> 00:02:49.980 Just enough money to take your 12-year-old out for a bangers and mash while you explain to them 00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:54.140 that the rest of their life will be spent under a regime of increasingly invasive mass surveillance. 00:02:54.140 --> 00:02:58.740 Not under London's prices. TikTok claims to have put significant resources 00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:02.220 into preventing children from inappropriately accessing the app. 00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:06.860 But according to regulators, it wasn't enough because they're children and you're not supposed 00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:10.620 to spy on them. Hopefully, bike dance will be able to scrounge up 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:16.100 the 12.7 million pounds somewhere in their $80 billion revenue they made in 2022. 00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:20.140 I guess we'll see. I didn't choose to do the quick bits because it's easy. 00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:24.140 It's actually really hard, but no one will let me stop. 00:03:24.140 --> 00:03:30.060 I'm wearing an ankle brace. Get back to work. Intel has reportedly placed a large order with TSMC 00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:33.620 for production of its next-gen battle-maids GPUs. 00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:37.980 This not only means that TSMC is producing chips for all three major graphic card brands, 00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:42.740 it also means that there will probably be a second generation of Intel graphics cards, 00:03:42.740 --> 00:03:46.420 which wasn't a for-sure thing. We did it. Celestial, we still don't know. 00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:52.260 Daybreak, the company that runs EverQuest 2, has retracted an upcoming pay-to-raid feature 00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:55.620 only two weeks after its announcement due to backlash from players. 00:03:55.620 --> 00:04:01.280 The new system would have introduced, drum roll please, loot boxes containing an item to reset 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:06.620 the 18-hour cooldown for bosses. Unfortunately for Daybreak, one thing that has no cooldown, 00:04:06.620 --> 00:04:09.900 but does have area of effect damage, is Gamer Rage, 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:14.660 especially EverQuest 2 gamers who are still playing 19 years after launch. 00:04:14.660 --> 00:04:19.980 Seriously, when you're an MML with fewer than 30,000 active monthly players, you should cherish 00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:23.180 each and every one of them. Looking at you, Jerry. Jerry? 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:27.380 Probably one of them. VR may not be as cool as Mark Zuckerberg hoped. 00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:32.480 In a recent survey of American teenagers, only 29% said they owned a VR device, 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:37.980 with only 4% saying they use VR daily. And it's totally for homework. 00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:41.820 Don't get weird. Now that's inside out tracking. Oh God. 00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:46.500 Some are speculating this means VR hasn't caught on as well as smartphones. 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:51.580 You know, the miniature computer slash communication device that fits in your pocket and works without having 00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:55.820 to be strapped to your face? Do you really need to call thousands of teenagers 00:04:55.820 --> 00:04:58.900 to figure that out? James, why are you talking to teenagers? 00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:02.420 Who calls teenagers, you know? You text them, and they leave you on red. 00:05:02.420 --> 00:05:06.980 You better have a blue bubble. Monument and Tempest, two US companies that offer support 00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:12.180 to patients struggling with alcohol addiction, have admitted to sharing private patient information 00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:15.300 with advertisers. It seems like only last month we talked about 00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:19.540 a different private mental health care service doing the same thing. 00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:23.040 Because it was. The first step is admitting you have a problem, 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:28.580 Monument and Tempest, but the zeroth step is not leaking patient information. 00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:34.700 The makers of Monster Energy Drink are suing an indie game developer for using the word monster 00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:38.460 in the title of a game. Apparently under the mistaken impression 00:05:38.460 --> 00:05:43.100 that you can own a word that entered the English lexicon in the early 14th century. 00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:46.940 In 2020, Ubisoft apparently renamed its game, 00:05:46.940 --> 00:05:51.540 Gods and Monsters, to Immortals Phoenix Rising, a much, much worse name, 00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:55.540 after a similar dispute with Monster. Now Monster's going after small developer, 00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:59.860 Glowstick Entertainment, and what kind of large, frightening, fantastical creature 00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:03.300 would do something like that? You'd have to be a. Not video Kojima. 00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:06.860 And why would you do something like not come back here on Friday for more tech news? 00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:10.340 You wouldn't, would you? You wouldn't do that to me, right? 00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.140 Jerry?
