1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,800 I've been swimming in tech news all morning, and I would say come on in, the water's fine, 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,120 but it's not. Here, let me dry off. 3 00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:17,480 While Chinese AI company Deepseek didn't fully burst the AI bubble, it did send NVIDIA stock 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,800 into a tailspin this week, as investors questioned the need for NVIDIA GPUs when Deepseek's models 5 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,640 are just so dang efficient. Maybe part of the reason they're so efficient is because Deepseek didn't spend any time 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,480 developing jailbreak defenses. AI security researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Cisco found that Deepseek's 7 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,320 reasoning model, R1, completely failed to protect itself against a barrage of 50 popular 8 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,080 chatbot jailbreak techniques, which I'll admit sounds very disorienting. 9 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,440 Deepseek also apparently didn't devote any time to protecting their internal database 10 00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:00,440 of user chat histories and API keys, which was found by security researchers from WIZ 11 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,960 just sitting there without even a password to protect it. 12 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,680 Between that and the whole sending data to China thing, multiple countries are banning, 13 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,160 restricting, or investigating the use of Deepseek models, including Italy, Taiwan, South Korea, 14 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,600 France, and even Belgium, who's usually pretty chill. 15 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,880 But Deepseek hype remains high, and OpenAI had to do something, so they launched their 16 00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,840 O3 mini reasoning model, which surpasses O1, particularly in science, math, and coding 17 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,800 performance, and also doesn't immediately tell you how to make cocaine and explosives 18 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,920 when you ask nicely. Or worse, explosive cocaine. 19 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,720 Limited use of O3 mini is free through ChatGPT, but paid users can use it more, with $200 20 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880 ChatGPT Pro subscribers getting unlimited use. 21 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,320 Meanwhile, Microsoft now offers OpenAI's O1 model through the Think Deeper feature in 22 00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:00,360 its co-pilot assistant for free. And despite saying it's investigating whether Deepseek improperly used OpenAI models to 23 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,480 train their own, Microsoft is also hosting Deepseek R1 on its cloud services. 24 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,600 But you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies safely contained in 25 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:18,320 a server farm. NVIDIA wasn't kidding when it warned about stock shortages for the RTX 50 series cards. 26 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,360 When they launched yesterday, inventory for the RTX 5090 and 5080 sold out in minutes 27 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,400 at retailers across the US, the UK, and probably elsewhere, sorry I didn't check every country. 28 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,560 In some European countries, it almost seemed like stock was never there in the first place, 29 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560 thanks to the leak of a distributor order link. 30 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,920 And if you're thinking, wow, people are more passionate about top tier PC gaming than ever, 31 00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,920 oh my sweet summer child. 32 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,780 This was reportedly due to incredibly low stock numbers and determined scalpers, with 33 00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:59,600 RTX 5090s being listed for as high as 9,000 USD on eBay. 34 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,360 YouTuber Jay-Z Fittysent tweeted yesterday that he spotted a 5090 he had just signed 35 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,560 at a Micro Center launch event that morning being listed on Facebook Marketplace for $5,800. 36 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Now all that, despite the RTX 5080 representing objectively bad value compared to previous 37 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,360 80 series cards, as laid out so clearly in this glorious graph made by Paul's hardware 38 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,440 for his recent video. Paul really knocked it out of the park with this graph. 39 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:37,920 It's a good graph, Paul. But hey, it's not all bad news, NVIDIA also surprise dropped a new feature in its GPU 40 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,880 driver called Smooth Motion, a spatial frame interpolation feature which can bring less 41 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,600 powerful frame generation to almost any game, kind of like AMD's fluid motion frames. 42 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Which would be cool if NVIDIA didn't say that for now, it's exclusive to the RTX 50 series, 43 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,640 which is, if you didn't catch it earlier, so out of stock, stores are sending people 44 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,760 home with paper vouchers just to feel like they got something. 45 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,760 I dragged myself off, but I still feel like a sticky residue. 46 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:16,720 Oh, it's because there's still quick bits. Intel released their company financial results yesterday and you can find the link in our 47 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,320 news sources below, but I wouldn't unless you just kind of want to feel sad. 48 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:29,040 TeamBlue says Panther Lake laptop CPUs are coming later in 2025, but Nova Lake, the successor 49 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,840 to the truly depressing Aero Lake desktop chips, aren't expected until 2026. 50 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:40,960 Intel also announced that rather than competing with NVIDIA's AI accelerators, they're canceling 51 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,160 their Falcon Shores AI GPU for now, giving off some real EOR energy. 52 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440 It probably wouldn't have been any good. 53 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:58,240 But hey, it's not like Intel is done yet. Microsoft just announced their existing Surface Pro and Surface laptop for businesses can be 54 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,680 configured with Intel Lunar Lake processors instead of Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips. 55 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,000 They'll just cost around $400 extra for the privilege of feeling like you've been 56 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,760 Thanos snapped, but you're disintegrating extra slowly. 57 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:19,840 Apple has filed a motion to delay proceedings in Google's antitrust trial after a judge 58 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,840 denied the company's request to intervene in the case. 59 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,720 It's a heartwarming story of massive tech giants sticking up for each other, because 60 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,680 one wants to continue getting paid $20 billion a year to have Google be the default search 61 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:42,240 engine in Safari. Wow. I mean, without that money, Apple might have to cancel more projects like the Mac-connected 62 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,160 AR glasses, which are no longer in development according to master of Apple secrets Neil 63 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:56,720 Girmstron, by which I mean Mark German. Don't worry, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg told investors he plans on selling billions of 64 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,840 AR glasses, so there'll be lots to go around. 65 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:04,160 We'll just have little pairs, we'll just slap on babies right out of the womb. 66 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,320 And you know what, let's have some positive stories to round off this episode. 67 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,200 After launching Spider-Man 2 on Steam this week, Sony announced the game won't require 68 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,400 players to sign in with a PlayStation network account and neither will God of War Ragnarok, 69 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,120 The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. 70 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Okay. Also, the Video Game History Foundation opened digital access to more than 30,000 files in 71 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,800 its archive of game materials. And there's no playable games, but there's some cool art. 72 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,560 And if you're looking for a quick way to get a real search result instead of Google's 73 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,600 AI overviews, just make your search sound more angry with some curse words. 74 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,760 It'll skip right to the good ****. Ah, **** yeah. 75 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,600 And you better **** be here on Monday for more tech news, or so help me, I'll have 76 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,400 some choice words for you. Like, I miss you. 77 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,040 Please reconsider your decision.
