WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.640 But not nearly as scary as me silently standing here not telling you the tech news 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 00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:28.200 The company announced this morning with plans to support upscaling to 4k in the future 00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:33.880 But unlike their experiment earlier this year sharpening YouTube shorts to an uncomfortably fine edge 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 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 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 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:03.360 If the stuff being gambled was digital like video game skins cosmetics and NFTs 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 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:14.120 Committing large-scale violence against unarmed people or torturing someone 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 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 00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:38.560 Unfortunately, that means if you've got a hankering for social gambling content 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 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.160 Hey, you want to bet you can find a gambling ad in under a minute 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 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? 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.160 That's what anyway It's a figure roughly on par with the entire German economy 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 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.440 IGX Thor processor meant to help power a 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 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 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:43.280 2027 and a one billion dollar investment in Nokia to integrate AI into 6g networking 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 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 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 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 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.400 So I guess it's really a bit quirky 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:26.960 Open AI has officially completed its long-awaited evolution from cap profit to just profit 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 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 00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:47.440 Do any of you know what that is? What is a GMC Jimmy? 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 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% 00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:05.880 while open AI themselves pledged a casual 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 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 00:04:18.080 --> 00:04:20.760 This is how it always goes with most friendships 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 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.760 Not real work. That's all right though because at least with their new PayPal integration 00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:36.560 These now jobless people will have an even easier time 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:42.360 Spending their last remaining dollars to buy furniture through chat GPT's instant checkout feature 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 00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:54.520 You know, they're always gonna kick some ass 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.720 Amazon says they're keeping their company nimble and strong by firing 14,000 people 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 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 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 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:30.360 2026 Amazon's Beth Galletti says that with these layoffs Amazon is making exciting bold bets 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 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 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 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 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:03.160 basic autonomy up front and more complex tasks handled via expert mode 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:10.520 Which means a human teleoperator from one X takes over the robot remotely with your permission 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 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 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.320 Just look at the stepbrothers poster style portrait of Neo on one X's website 00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:39.320 Grandpa befriending turtle neck sweater wearing mother f***ers already got me by the heartstrings 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 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 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 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.240 Memory production leaving conventional DDR5 supplies tight 00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:11.680 similarly according to Korea's new daily Samsung electronics SK Hynex and 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 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.280 Facing delivery delays of over a year now 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 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.240 Like they're 3,000 liters of the crucial resource guzzling 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.560 But maybe China has officially launched the world's first wind-powered 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:45.240 Undersea data center combining renewable energy with deep-sea cooling to reduce emissions and power costs 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 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 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 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 00:08:14.320 --> 00:08:22.160 and XAI has launched Grockipedia fulfilling Elon Musk's dream of replacing Wikipedia by apparently 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 00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:34.360 But guys Wikipedia isn't trustworthy. Okay instead 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 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 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 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.920 Please take it also. Here's a fun fact about John Carpenter's Halloween 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.960 Despite being set during fall in Illinois. The film was actually shot during springtime in 00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:08.280 California Wow must have been warm in that costume. Okay. Bye now
