WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
Yeah, over the long weekend, I worked on one of my famous interpretive dance sequences.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.440
Yeah, you wanna see, you wanna preview? Pretty, pretty risque stuff in here.

00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:12.040
Oh shoot, look at the time, we gotta do the tech news. Whoopsies.

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:17.560
Apple has announced their new M5 chip, which will arrive in a refreshed iPad Pro,

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:21.400
MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro one week from today.

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:27.200
Apple says that in multi-threaded performance, the M5 is 15% faster than the M4,

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.160
but more importantly, its 10-core GPU delivers four times

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.840
the M4's peak compute, because this is 2025,

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.880
and it's important to give AI as much power as it needs

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:42.960
to melt our brains so we don't feel anything when our skulls are crushed under their metal heels.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.440
As for the new M5-equipped 14-inch MacBook Pro,

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:52.600
iPad Pro, and Vision Pro, well, the M5 seems to be the only real new thing about them,

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.680
but if you're a total compute head, you can choose wrongly to pre-order them now,

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:01.280
and when they ship on the 22nd, you can watch all your favorite shows

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.840
on Apple's newly renamed streaming service, Apple TV.

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.840
Plus, TV, TV plus? No, it's just Apple TV now,

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.840
which is probably what half of you are already calling it anyway, while the other half screamed,

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.340
Apple TV is the box, mom! Apple is right to call this a vibrant new identity

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:25.000
for the platform. I love it when we talk about streaming services like they're our friend, Chris,

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.440
changing the spelling of his name by removing the H.

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:34.640
So much more vibrant, Chris. Almost as vibrant as the custom LaBooBoo given to Tim Cook

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.800
by the creator of LaBooBoo himself. Oh, thank you.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:41.800
Introducing LaBooBoo 17.

00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:46.800
Reviews are out for the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.240
ShortCircuit and Linus Tech Tips have both released videos

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:53.700
about the new gaming handhelds for some reason, alongside many other people

00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:57.100
that don't work in this building. Seems like most reviewers are impressed

00:01:57.100 --> 00:02:03.220
by the Ally X's hardware and performance, but think a thousand bucks is a bit steep

00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:06.740
for something that seems to not even know whether it's a real Xbox or not.

00:02:06.740 --> 00:02:12.540
Make up your mind. And while the non-X Ally's price of $600 is smaller,

00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:16.500
it's actually an even greater obstacle, given the lackluster gaming chops

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:21.180
of its arguably outdated chip design. We are just tearing into these things.

00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:25.180
They have some redeeming qualities. The joysticks are nice.

00:02:25.180 --> 00:02:28.820
Well, if the reviews for these new handhelds turn you off, don't worry.

00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:34.940
It sounds like you won't have to wait long for new consoles. Generally reliable AMD leaker Kepler L2

00:02:34.940 --> 00:02:40.380
stated on a NeoGap forum that the specs for PlayStation's next console are finalized

00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:45.980
and YouTuber, Moore's Law Is Dead, has revealed alleged details about the next gen Xbox

00:02:45.980 --> 00:02:49.060
and its Magnus APU from AMD.

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:53.340
Now with the leaked specs in mind, WCCF Tech says that the next gen Xbox

00:02:53.380 --> 00:02:57.860
will have the hardware edge compared to its PlayStation contemporary.

00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:03.300
What a crazy moment for Xbox. One day they're dying, never releasing hardware again

00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:08.760
and being relegated to a game streaming service. And the next, they're pumping out powerful handhelds

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:13.140
and supposedly winning the console wars of 2027,

00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:16.700
a year when AI will just play our games for us

00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:19.780
and it won't matter anyway. It'll be so much better.

00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.900
Speaking of AI, open AI CEO, Sam Altman

00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:29.020
has announced that ChatGPT will be able to engage in erotic conversations with verified adult users

00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:32.580
by December, clock's ticket as part of an initiative

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:35.580
to put some of that good spicy personality back

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:40.540
into the chatbot that they took out. In a tweet, Altman says that open AI has been pretty restrictive

00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:43.620
with ChatGPT's personality and conversation topics

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:47.320
for fear of putting folks with mental health issues at risk.

00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:50.420
But that made it less fun to use for many users

00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:53.540
with absolutely no mental health problems at all.

00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:57.740
You know, normal people, they figured it all out.

00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:03.260
So open AI is loosening those restrictions with help from a newly formed expert council

00:04:03.260 --> 00:04:07.140
of well-being and AI, whose first decree is to say,

00:04:07.140 --> 00:04:11.420
smart is okay for verified adults.

00:04:11.420 --> 00:04:15.500
It is the will of the council. This is a bit of an about face from Altman

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:20.740
who had previously made jokes at the expense of the sexy anime slot being generated by Grok.

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:26.540
But I guess the people want what the people want and they really want to talk dirty with their chatbots.

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:31.060
I'm guessing this is going to be a big blow to people fighting against AI slop on the internet

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:35.740
because it's about to get a whole lot sloppier. All that said, even though you're gonna be

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:40.700
sexting your chatbots soon, you can forget about marrying it at least in Ohio

00:04:40.700 --> 00:04:44.500
where lawmaker Fadius Claggett,

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:48.660
yes, has put forward House Bill 469

00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:54.620
to stop humans from marrying AI and to stop AI from acquiring personhood.

00:04:55.700 --> 00:05:00.180
Like they're stealing it from a bank. We got the personhood.

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:05.980
Run, Claggett says that he wants to make sure we always have a human in charge of the technology,

00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:11.620
not the other way around. I'll tell you what, I'd rather have a Claggett in charge

00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:18.420
than a clanker. That's not how they sound in Ohio, so I'm sorry. And if I'm fixin' to stay dry, I'd rather use our sponsor.

00:05:18.420 --> 00:05:23.980
You know, before the quick bits started hanging around here, they were an incredible break dancer down in LA.

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:26.980
Pop and locking, that would blow your mind.

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:30.100
Ask JC Chasses?

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:33.300
Windows 10 was issued its last major update

00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:37.760
on October 14th, the operating system's last day of official support.

00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:40.820
It's been sent to drift, like a Viking funeral ship.

00:05:40.820 --> 00:05:46.900
Okay, we got a quote here. Cattle die and kinsmen die, and so one dies one's self.

00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:52.500
But a noble name will never die if good renown one gets.

00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:57.500
That doesn't, is that supposed to rhyme? But wait, hold your Norse funeral poetry.

00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:02.700
You may remember that there are a number of ways to get a free year of security updates for Windows 10,

00:06:02.700 --> 00:06:07.100
including simply signing into Windows with your Microsoft account and syncing your settings.

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:11.100
Ragnarok isn't here after all. I got all emotional for nothing.

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:16.280
You know what is here? NVIDIA's DGX Spark personal AI supercomputer.

00:06:16.320 --> 00:06:21.080
Team Green's first product to feature its homegrown GB10 SoC.

00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:27.000
It's such a big deal that NVIDIA bumped the starting price up to $4,000 after announcing that it would start

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:33.640
at $3,000 earlier this year. Still, Jensen hand delivered a Spark to Elon Musk,

00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:37.180
and you can't put a price on that additional leather jacket cool factor.

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:41.240
Well, I guess you can. It's $1,000.

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.320
Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold is blowing up

00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:48.560
for all the wrong reasons. In a YouTube video from JerryRigEverything,

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.360
aka Zach Nelson, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's battery

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.960
appears to expand, overheat, and emit a bunch of smoke during the bend test,

00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:02.320
eventually setting off a fire alarm. While the bend test is pretty extreme

00:07:02.320 --> 00:07:06.920
and puts an unusual amount of stress on the phone, Nelson does know that he's been doing this test

00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.040
for a decade, and he has never seen a phone explode

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.680
like this before. I guess you could say the Pixel 10 Pro Fold

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.380
is the hot new phone, but not in the way Google wanted.

00:07:17.380 --> 00:07:20.500
Ooh, got him again. Two in a row.

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:24.300
Andruil, the military tech company created by Palmer Lucky,

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:27.740
the original founder of Oculus, has teamed up with Meta to launch

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:32.780
the Eagle Eye military helmet as part of Lucky's mission to turn warfighters

00:07:32.780 --> 00:07:36.780
into techno mansors. The Eagle Eye uses a mixed reality system

00:07:36.780 --> 00:07:41.000
built into a soldier's helmet as a sort of AI partner in their display,

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.660
aiding in mission planning, enhanced perception of a battlefield,

00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:47.980
and presumably, writing army-approved erotica.

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:52.660
Now that all sounds awesome, but I'm not sure how badass military guys will feel

00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:56.740
about wearing what Gizmodo calls tactical cat ears

00:07:56.740 --> 00:08:00.260
and taking part in the uwuification of war.

00:08:00.260 --> 00:08:03.860
Alrighty, thanks for watching. That's plenty of tech news for one day.

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:08.940
If you want more, come back on Friday. Now, how about I show you some of these freaky dance moves?

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:14.380
Incredible. Plie! Beautiful. What is a chasse?

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:18.140
I don't know. Pirouette!

00:08:18.140 --> 00:08:19.140
I did it now.
