1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,880 Stop where you are. How did you access this feed? This stream requires level 5 security clearance. 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,400 I'm just kidding. This is a pre-recorded video. I can't do anything. 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,960 Former Apple product designers have launched the Humane AI pin. It's essentially a $700 GPT4 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,560 powered shirt dongle with cell service, cameras, and a laser projector. But it may not be as 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,240 stupid as it looks. Humane's founders are former Apple exec Bethany Bongiorno and designer Imran 6 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,960 Choudhury, who, going by his website, apparently did nothing for 20 years but filed patents. 7 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,320 That may explain why he looks like he needs a nap all the time. 8 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,240 Humane says the pin doesn't run apps. It simply accomplishes whatever you tell it to using AI. 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,200 But its camera and mics are not always recording. You have to tap it, and you'll hear audio come 10 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,200 out of its personic speaker, creating an intimate bubble of sound, unlike other speakers that don't 11 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,840 do bubbles at all. When you do want the camera to record, the AI pin's trust light will turn on, 12 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,320 which is ironic, given you should never trust someone wearing that many bracelets. You can 13 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,360 hold up your hand to access some controls by a laser, but you can also hold up nuts like D's, 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,000 and ask the dongle how much protein is this. How much protein is in D's nuts? 15 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,120 It's unclear if this feature will work on anything the camera can see. 16 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,920 Strangely, even though Choudhury said the AI pin has a quote, It runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, and that means it's really fast. 17 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,640 It erroneously listed the best places to see the next total solar eclipse as 18 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Xmouth, Australia, and East Timor, which are the best places to see this year's eclipse back in 19 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,480 April. Similar easily provable errors were made during the unveiling of both Bing Chat and Google 20 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:50,080 Bard, and you'd think there'd be a lesson here. But to be fair, Imran may have been sleep talking 21 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,120 in the video. We can't tell. Humane will have until next year to fix the AI pin when it launches 22 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:02,800 for $699 at $700, plus they required $24 a month subscription. I can't wait. 23 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:09,440 I can. Pre-order. In more AI news, OpenAI blamed a DDoS attack for its periodic outages on Wednesday, 24 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,240 according to a status page that doesn't exactly scream $29 billion company. 25 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Initially, OpenAI's CEO and backup video game character asset, Sam Altman, said ChatGPT's new 26 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,920 features were simply more popular than the company had anticipated. Turns out that popularity was 27 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,760 actually malice, as misleadingly named hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan claimed responsibility 28 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,200 for the attack. The next day, OpenAI became unpopular with best friend and possibly lover 29 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Microsoft when the company blocked its employees from using ChatGPT. You'd think it was a response 30 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,240 to the attack, but Microsoft claims the block was an error. Or maybe they don't feel the same 31 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,800 connection anymore. These days, there's a lot more AI fish in the sea after all. Samsung's 32 00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:01,280 newly announced Gauss can supposedly translate audio and text in real time. That's pretty hot. 33 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,760 And Amazon says its Olympus AI's parameters are double the size of GPT-4's. We understand if 34 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,920 you're having second thoughts, Microsoft. You're a trillion dollar company. At some point, you'll 35 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,280 leave your current AI wife for a younger model. Speaking of Amazon's massive assets, the company 36 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,320 is now offering low-cost primary healthcare as a prime membership benefit. Did your ARM fall off? 37 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:29,280 Prime members can get same-day delivery directly to a surgical suite. Is this true or not? 38 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,000 I can't. This is black mirror. I don't know. That's a joke, right? Okay. Seriously, though, 39 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,360 for an extra $9 a month or $100 per year, members can get 24-7 on-demand virtual care 40 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,000 and schedule next day or even same-day appointments at hundreds of primary care officers across the 41 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,200 U.S. Now, the e-commerce giant already has a pay-per-visit 24-7 telehealth service called 42 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,680 Amazon Clinic. But they craved more. So they casually spent $3.9 billion earlier this year 43 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,720 to acquire primary care provider OneMedical. With this acquisition and its previous buyout of whole 44 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,600 foods, Amazon now controls sources of food and medicine. Two things literally we can't live without. 45 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,400 Perhaps Amazon will get into the auction business next, buy a bunch of land covered in trees, 46 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,200 call it the Amazon Forest, and then sue South America for copyright infringement. 47 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,760 You did good today, sport. Come on. Let's get you some quick bits. 48 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,640 A federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit alleging that Honda, General Motors, 49 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,160 Toyota, and Volkswagen violated Washington state privacy laws by using their onboard infotainment 50 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,920 systems to intercept, record, and download text messages and call logs. Not because the judge 51 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,960 determined they weren't collecting that information. In fact, they still are. It's because the law 52 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,840 requires proof that plaintiffs' reputations, personal safety, and businesses were threatened. 53 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,600 Look, just because your neighbor is standing outside your bedroom window with the camera 54 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,880 doesn't mean he's doing anything wrong, right? Prove it. Omega, the randomized chat service best known for sketchy interactions between minors and adult 55 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,400 strangers, is shutting down after settling a lawsuit alleging sketchy interactions between 56 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,880 minors and adult strangers. It's the end of an era. I was one of those adult strangers. 57 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,880 For the past 14 years, Omega has been a popular source of entertainment, 58 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,240 viral YouTube videos, and emotional trauma. The site was originally envisioned as a way to use 59 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,680 the wide open nature of the internet to connect its users to new and varied ideas and experiences, 60 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,800 something it achieved arguably too well. The ongoing EPIC trial has revealed how much 61 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,600 money Google has given potential competitors to convince them to launch their games on the 62 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,600 Play Store. Activision Blizzard was given $360 million for all their games in 2020, and EPIC 63 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,200 turned down $147 million for Fortnite, opting instead to launch the Android version through its 64 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,720 own website back in 2018. Twenty other developers were offered similar deals in 2019 as part of 65 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,040 Google's Project Hug. Bearer Hug, Google even cut special deals with Netflix and Spotify. I used 66 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:06,240 to pride myself on the quality of my hugs, but now I just feel inferior. Qualcomm and its partner 67 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,680 Iridium announced an N2 Snapdragon satellite, the satellite communication service for Android that 68 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,840 never even launched. Originally announced in January with a promise of being Apple's emergency 69 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,840 SOS via satellite, but better, it seems smartphone manufacturers elected not to include the technology 70 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,320 in their devices. Iridium says they'll try to partner with smartphone OEMs and other chip makers, 71 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:40,720 but for now, we'll have to deal with Tim Cook's stupid smug face. And you've heard of Apple TV, 72 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Plus, Disney Plus, and Paramount Plus. Get ready for NASA Plus, the streaming service 73 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,640 recently launched by the Space Agency of the same name. It's available on Android, iOS, 74 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,160 and many smart TVs and offers award-winning original series ad-free for the low cost of, 75 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,560 actually nothing. It's actually free. It's completely free. But like, if you wanted to 76 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,800 convince your local representatives to give them more money to the Artemis program, no pressure 77 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,600 at all. It's just Prada spacesuits don't grow on trees, you know. And neither does tech news, 78 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,640 so make sure you come back on Monday for another hearty helping. We'll make it with love and 79 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,000 just a susong of sarcasm. It gives it more body.
