1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360
Sure Halloween's Michael Myers wordlessly standing is big-ass in your yard staring at you is pretty scary

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,640
But not nearly as scary as me silently standing here not telling you the tech news

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:23,360
Well, that's too freaky I gotta tell you some tech news YouTube will begin automatically upscaling all videos under 1080p from SD to HD

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,200
The company announced this morning with plans to support upscaling to 4k in the future

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,880
But unlike their experiment earlier this year sharpening YouTube shorts to an uncomfortably fine edge

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,800
YouTube is graciously allowing creators to opt out of having their content upscaled as well as letting viewers toggle between

7
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:49,720
Original resolution and the new Super resolution today YouTube also announced a few policy changes for one

8
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:57,240
They'll soon expand their prohibitions on content that directs viewers to online gambling sites before doing this was okay

9
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,360
If the stuff being gambled was digital like video game skins cosmetics and NFTs

10
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Under the new rules that will not be allowed and neither will be watching video game content with lifelike human characters

11
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Committing large-scale violence against unarmed people or torturing someone

12
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:24,240
if you're under 18 that That's just standard adult stuff. Finally, it seems like YouTube will definitively solve the debate over whether Kratos or a

13
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:33,760
Transhuman 40k space marine can really be called a human YouTube's also age restricting content that depicts casino style games

14
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Unfortunately, that means if you've got a hankering for social gambling content

15
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,720
You're gonna have to go to a sporting event turn on the TV or visit any other website. Hey

16
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,160
Hey, you want to bet you can find a gambling ad in under a minute

17
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Please bet me. I Need this NVIDIA hit a massive milestone today by becoming the first company ever to reach a five

18
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Trillion dollar market valuation last I remember they hit three trillion. Do they skip four and went right?

19
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,160
That's what anyway It's a figure roughly on par with the entire German economy

20
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:18,360
This historic jump followed a series of announcements at the company's GTC conference where CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the new

21
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,440
IGX Thor processor meant to help power a

22
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Physical AI platform which is doing absolutely nothing to help my personal fear of terminators years of therapy

23
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,840
Wasted the company then revealed a plan to deploy a fleet of robo taxis with uber by

24
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,280
2027 and a one billion dollar investment in Nokia to integrate AI into 6g networking

25
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:50,880
Whatever that means they also announced a collaborative effort with Oracle and the US Department of Energy to build what will be

26
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,600
America's largest super computer now still feeling the need to pack in even more announcements that aren't about gaming

27
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:05,440
NVIDIA introduced and VQ link which is like their GPU interconnection system and V link but with a Q in it

28
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,200
Because that's just a little quirky, but also because it lets classical computer servers talk good with quantum computers

29
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,400
So I guess it's really a bit quirky

30
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,960
Open AI has officially completed its long-awaited evolution from cap profit to just profit

31
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:34,160
The company says that its new for-profit public benefit corporation will still be guided by its

32
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Non-profit board, you know like how a parent guides their kid who just bought a mid 80s GMC Jimmy with their allowance

33
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,440
Do any of you know what that is? What is a GMC Jimmy?

34
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,160
I think it's just a weird little car Apparently we're a channel that makes a good amount of obscure car jokes now

35
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,520
I'll allow it as part of the shake-up Microsoft trimmed its ownership stake in open AI to 27%

36
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,880
while open AI themselves pledged a casual

37
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,120
250 billion dollars in extra Azure cloud spending both sites have taken to calling this development a

38
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Natural evolution, which is probably their way of telling us that they they're still best friends

39
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,760
This is how it always goes with most friendships

40
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:28,640
This will ensure that companies can keep using chat GBT to replace humans whose jobs were as Sam Alton said in a recent interview

41
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Not real work. That's all right though because at least with their new PayPal integration

42
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
These now jobless people will have an even easier time

43
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Spending their last remaining dollars to buy furniture through chat GPT's instant checkout feature

44
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,320
The Halloween franchises had reboots remakes and alternate timelines all of varying quality, but with the quick bits

45
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,520
You know, they're always gonna kick some ass

46
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,720
Amazon says they're keeping their company nimble and strong by firing 14,000 people

47
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,160
Well, it appears one thing these massive job cuts aren't keeping nimble and strong is Amazon's MMO new world

48
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Which appears to be dead Amazon game studios informed fans that the games recently launched season 10 and night Haven updates would be the game's final content releases

49
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,040
That night Haven is now free and that they are committed to keeping the game's servers going through

50
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,360
2026 Amazon's Beth Galletti says that with these layoffs Amazon is making exciting bold bets

51
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,040
And you know I can get behind that. I love a good bet. Please make a bet with me Amazon. I need this

52
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Don't go away. Where are you going? One X technologies is now taking pre-orders for a humanoid home robot called Neo

53
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Shipping in 2026 and priced at twenty thousand dollars or five hundred dollars a month with a subscription very affordable

54
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,960
Neo is designed to tackle chores like folding laundry tidying rooms fetching items and turning lights on and off with

55
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,160
basic autonomy up front and more complex tasks handled via expert mode

56
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Which means a human teleoperator from one X takes over the robot remotely with your permission

57
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:19,080
So the so it can learn It needs to learn aside from the weirdness of allowing some stranger to remotely get inside your space

58
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:28,680
You'll also be sharing data from your home So Neo's AI real-world training can improve still it's hard to be mad at this button-eyed little weirdo

59
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,320
Just look at the stepbrothers poster style portrait of Neo on one X's website

60
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,320
Grandpa befriending turtle neck sweater wearing mother f***ers already got me by the heartstrings

61
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:48,200
500 bucks bucks a month is nothing DRAM prices are set to soar by as much as 50% and according to a report from DigiTimes

62
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Major data center customers in the US and China are only receiving about 70% of their memory orders

63
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:02,480
Apparently this issue is being driven by booming AI workloads that are diverting RAM production capacity towards more advanced

64
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240
Memory production leaving conventional DDR5 supplies tight

65
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,680
similarly according to Korea's new daily Samsung electronics SK Hynex and

66
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,200
Kyoksia are running their SSD production lines at full capacity yet high capacity SSDs of 8 terabytes and higher are

67
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280
Facing delivery delays of over a year now

68
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:29,240
I'm not saying you should switch your Tesla into Mad Max mode and rip over to your nearest PC shop to scoop up RAM and SSDs

69
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Like they're 3,000 liters of the crucial resource guzzling

70
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,560
But maybe China has officially launched the world's first wind-powered

71
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Undersea data center combining renewable energy with deep-sea cooling to reduce emissions and power costs

72
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,840
The facility is located off the coast of the Hainan Province where it has easy access to a set of offshore wind turbines

73
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,280
To supply electricity to the center and it allows the ocean to be used as its giant heat sink

74
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:06,040
It's all for us Developers say the setup could cut energy use by 40% compared to land-based centers and plans are already in motion for more

75
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:13,640
Data centers of this type kind of makes you wonder though one wrong cable tug and someone might be getting a seriously wet tech support ticket

76
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:22,160
and XAI has launched Grockipedia fulfilling Elon Musk's dream of replacing Wikipedia by apparently

77
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:30,840
copying huge chunks of Wikipedia Reports show the site replicates text from Wikipedia nearly word-for-word in some instances

78
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,360
But guys Wikipedia isn't trustworthy. Okay instead

79
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,400
We should trust a chatbot that recently mistook a US border patrol chief for the artist Cindy Sherman

80
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:49,240
It doesn't know between plagiarism and identity crises Grock's looking less like Wikipedia 2.0 and more like clippy with confidence issues

81
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,080
I'm so confident. We'll be seeing you on Friday for more tech news. I'm gonna bet on it

82
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,920
Please take it also. Here's a fun fact about John Carpenter's Halloween

83
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,960
Despite being set during fall in Illinois. The film was actually shot during springtime in

84
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,280
California Wow must have been warm in that costume. Okay. Bye now
