WEBVTT 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. 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:08.400 I'm just kidding. This is a pre-recorded video. I can't do anything. 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.960 Former Apple product designers have launched the Humane AI pin. It's essentially a $700 GPT4 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 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:28.240 stupid as it looks. Humane's founders are former Apple exec Bethany Bongiorno and designer Imran 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.960 Choudhury, who, going by his website, apparently did nothing for 20 years but filed patents. 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.320 That may explain why he looks like he needs a nap all the time. 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. 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 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 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, 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.320 which is ironic, given you should never trust someone wearing that many bracelets. You can 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, 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? 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.120 It's unclear if this feature will work on anything the camera can see. 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. 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.640 It erroneously listed the best places to see the next total solar eclipse as 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 00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:44.480 April. Similar easily provable errors were made during the unveiling of both Bing Chat and Google 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 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 00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:02.800 for $699 at $700, plus they required $24 a month subscription. I can't wait. 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, 00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:14.240 according to a status page that doesn't exactly scream $29 billion company. 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:20.880 Initially, OpenAI's CEO and backup video game character asset, Sam Altman, said ChatGPT's new 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:25.920 features were simply more popular than the company had anticipated. Turns out that popularity was 00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:31.760 actually malice, as misleadingly named hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan claimed responsibility 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.200 for the attack. The next day, OpenAI became unpopular with best friend and possibly lover 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 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 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 00:02:52.800 --> 00:03:01.280 newly announced Gauss can supposedly translate audio and text in real time. That's pretty hot. 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 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 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 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? 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? 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, 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 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 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 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:55.680 Amazon Clinic. But they craved more. So they casually spent $3.9 billion earlier this year 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.720 to acquire primary care provider OneMedical. With this acquisition and its previous buyout of whole 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. 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, 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.200 call it the Amazon Forest, and then sue South America for copyright infringement. 00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:21.760 You did good today, sport. Come on. Let's get you some quick bits. 00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:26.640 A federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit alleging that Honda, General Motors, 00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:32.160 Toyota, and Volkswagen violated Washington state privacy laws by using their onboard infotainment 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.920 systems to intercept, record, and download text messages and call logs. Not because the judge 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 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:47.840 requires proof that plaintiffs' reputations, personal safety, and businesses were threatened. 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:51.600 Look, just because your neighbor is standing outside your bedroom window with the camera 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 00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:04.400 strangers, is shutting down after settling a lawsuit alleging sketchy interactions between 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. 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.880 For the past 14 years, Omega has been a popular source of entertainment, 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:20.240 viral YouTube videos, and emotional trauma. The site was originally envisioned as a way to use 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, 00:05:25.760 --> 00:05:30.800 something it achieved arguably too well. The ongoing EPIC trial has revealed how much 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.600 money Google has given potential competitors to convince them to launch their games on the 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.600 Play Store. Activision Blizzard was given $360 million for all their games in 2020, and EPIC 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.200 turned down $147 million for Fortnite, opting instead to launch the Android version through its 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 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 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 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.680 Iridium announced an N2 Snapdragon satellite, the satellite communication service for Android that 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.840 never even launched. Originally announced in January with a promise of being Apple's emergency 00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.840 SOS via satellite, but better, it seems smartphone manufacturers elected not to include the technology 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, 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, 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.760 Plus, Disney Plus, and Paramount Plus. Get ready for NASA Plus, the streaming service 00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:50.640 recently launched by the Space Agency of the same name. It's available on Android, iOS, 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, 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.560 actually nothing. It's actually free. It's completely free. But like, if you wanted to 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.800 convince your local representatives to give them more money to the Artemis program, no pressure 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, 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 00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:20.000 just a susong of sarcasm. It gives it more body.
