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,

00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:11.120
but it's not. Here, let me dry off.

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

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

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

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

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:45.320
reasoning model, R1, completely failed to protect itself against a barrage of 50 popular

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.080
chatbot jailbreak techniques, which I'll admit sounds very disorienting.

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:54.440
Deepseek also apparently didn't devote any time to protecting their internal database

00:00:54.440 --> 00:01:00.440
of user chat histories and API keys, which was found by security researchers from WIZ

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:03.960
just sitting there without even a password to protect it.

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.680
Between that and the whole sending data to China thing, multiple countries are banning,

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.160
restricting, or investigating the use of Deepseek models, including Italy, Taiwan, South Korea,

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.600
France, and even Belgium, who's usually pretty chill.

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:22.880
But Deepseek hype remains high, and OpenAI had to do something, so they launched their

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.840
O3 mini reasoning model, which surpasses O1, particularly in science, math, and coding

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.800
performance, and also doesn't immediately tell you how to make cocaine and explosives

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.920
when you ask nicely. Or worse, explosive cocaine.

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

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:47.880
ChatGPT Pro subscribers getting unlimited use.

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.320
Meanwhile, Microsoft now offers OpenAI's O1 model through the Think Deeper feature in

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

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.480
train their own, Microsoft is also hosting Deepseek R1 on its cloud services.

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.600
But you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies safely contained in

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.

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:24.360
When they launched yesterday, inventory for the RTX 5090 and 5080 sold out in minutes

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.

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.560
In some European countries, it almost seemed like stock was never there in the first place,

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.560
thanks to the leak of a distributor order link.

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,

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:47.920
oh my sweet summer child.

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:53.780
This was reportedly due to incredibly low stock numbers and determined scalpers, with

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:59.600
RTX 5090s being listed for as high as 9,000 USD on eBay.

00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:06.360
YouTuber Jay-Z Fittysent tweeted yesterday that he spotted a 5090 he had just signed

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:12.560
at a Micro Center launch event that morning being listed on Facebook Marketplace for $5,800.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.200
Now all that, despite the RTX 5080 representing objectively bad value compared to previous

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

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.440
for his recent video. Paul really knocked it out of the park with this graph.

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

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:43.880
driver called Smooth Motion, a spatial frame interpolation feature which can bring less

00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:50.600
powerful frame generation to almost any game, kind of like AMD's fluid motion frames.

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,

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

00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:04.760
home with paper vouchers just to feel like they got something.

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:08.760
I dragged myself off, but I still feel like a sticky residue.

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

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.320
news sources below, but I wouldn't unless you just kind of want to feel sad.

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:29.040
TeamBlue says Panther Lake laptop CPUs are coming later in 2025, but Nova Lake, the successor

00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:35.840
to the truly depressing Aero Lake desktop chips, aren't expected until 2026.

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:40.960
Intel also announced that rather than competing with NVIDIA's AI accelerators, they're canceling

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:47.160
their Falcon Shores AI GPU for now, giving off some real EOR energy.

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.440
It probably wouldn't have been any good.

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

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.680
configured with Intel Lunar Lake processors instead of Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips.

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.000
They'll just cost around $400 extra for the privilege of feeling like you've been

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.760
Thanos snapped, but you're disintegrating extra slowly.

00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:19.840
Apple has filed a motion to delay proceedings in Google's antitrust trial after a judge

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:23.840
denied the company's request to intervene in the case.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.720
It's a heartwarming story of massive tech giants sticking up for each other, because

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

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

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.160
AR glasses, which are no longer in development according to master of Apple secrets Neil

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

00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.840
AR glasses, so there'll be lots to go around.

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.

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.320
And you know what, let's have some positive stories to round off this episode.

00:06:08.320 --> 00:06:13.200
After launching Spider-Man 2 on Steam this week, Sony announced the game won't require

00:06:13.200 --> 00:06:18.400
players to sign in with a PlayStation network account and neither will God of War Ragnarok,

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:23.120
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

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

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.

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

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.600
AI overviews, just make your search sound more angry with some curse words.

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.760
It'll skip right to the good ****. Ah, **** yeah.

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

00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:00.400
some choice words for you. Like, I miss you.

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.040
Please reconsider your decision.
