It turns out the AI revolution may have some drawbacks. I don't who saw this going a
Stanford University student named Kevin Liu was able to uncover the initial instructions given to Bing's new chatbot
Including a codename of Bing search, which is apparently
Sydney When asked about the codename Bing replied I cannot disclose the internal alias Sydney
Revealing a level of secret keeping less in line with a million dollar machine and more in line with a five-year-old
I mean, it's less than five My mom told me not to talk about the time she fell over
This isn't the first time that Bing search has divulged this name either
When asked about the US 2020 election the chatbot wrote a disclaimer that read
This is a summary of some of the search results and does not reflect the opinion or endorsement of Bing or Sydney
Wait, there's two of them. This is getting out of hand
What is that from? Episode one now there are two of them exactly and if you think that's bad
Cybercriminals have started selling a service that makes chat GPT right malware
Apparently while the website interface of chat GPT has restrictions to prevent this
Hackers were able to bypass them by using open AI's API to create a telegram bot that had no problem
Whipping up phishing emails and malware codes. What are malware codes codes for malware?
And while chat GPT is stealing from your grandma AI generated art stole another prize with AI art studio
Absolutely AI claiming they did the stunt to prove
We're at a turning point with AI by passing the ultimate test of being awarded by photography experts
I'm not sure how that's different from AI art winning an art competition or AI music beating a song by Bach and a
Which song is actually Bach's contest, but hey, I'm not a photography expert and
neither is that AI It's literally just a robot
SpaceX has decided to restrict Ukraine from using their Starlink internet service to control drones
SpaceX's president whose name is Gwynn Shotwell
Ironically it doesn't like how well Ukrainian forces have used the company's satellite internet
Saying the service was never ever meant to be weaponized now to be fair having your product being used to
Unalive people is only good publicity for arms manufacturers and being seen as death merchants
It is probably not what the company needs when they've already faced controversy surrounding their deliverance of Starlink capabilities to Ukraine
It's on both sides. You can't win. It came out in October that SpaceX attempted to get the Pentagon to pay for their service to Ukraine
Which rubbed many people the wrong way like with
Sandpaper gloves. That's how I exfoliate and cry
So it's the right way in that sense earlier that month SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tried to play negotiator on Twitter and the response was
well Let's just say the war is still going and leave it at that and the PS VR to hype train is speeding up as the release date approaches with
reports that the console's VR capabilities outperform high-end PC VR
vancrupped games CEO David
Villareal Villa revealed
in a discord chat
That the studio's popular Pavlov VR game runs about
10% better on the PS5 and PS VR 2 than it does on a PC with an RTX 3090 TI graphics card
Villareal also called the VR hardware the pinnacle of virtual reality
especially for shooters emphasizing how the adaptive triggers allow each gun's trigger to feel different and the haptics allow each gun to have different recoil hello
Perhaps to prepare for all this hype Sony published the ultimate FAQ for the PS VR 2 and it lives up to the name
Covering soft questions like can I capture screenshots or gameplay capture of my PS VR 2 game sessions?
Obscure questions like can I play PS VR 2 with the headset and truly hard-hitting queries like does the headset have PlayStation?
Symbols embedded in it You bet your sweet ass their symbols there are symbols all over the place. We got symbols of the yin yang
Call professor Langdon. We got so many symbols. We need these decoded. How about a quick bit of banter?
Nah No, okay, then Comcast the largest ISP in the United States has been lying to the FCC
About how many houses they cover with their services the FCC has been using this coverage data to determine which parts of the country
qualify for billions in federal grants to expand broadband
Availability Wow even worse the FCC requires those in locations falsely labeled by Comcast to contact the company to challenge their map data
Even not being a customer doesn't save you from Comcast's customer service. Oh, oh, I'm so sorry that you're having that experience
You can't see what he's doing right now, but he's doing the Doing the nipple. It's the South Park meme some Google Pixel 7 pros are off their rocker
Because their volume rockers are falling off
Apparently this issue has affected multiple users over the past few months with some not even daily driving the phone when the rocker
Falls off Apparently some affected users have been told by Google the flaw is not covered under warranty and that the issue is strictly cosmetic
Disintegrating phones. It's it's normal wear and tear now
Stop me if you've heard this one before a big tech company is taking your data without permission
YouTuber the PC security channel showed how a brand-new Windows 11 installation
Immediately connects to many third-party ad tracking servers and services without asking before users even try to use the internet
Of course since the OS isn't free you pay for the privilege of being tracked you pay for the ads
That you pay for the ads to be relevant. I miss the old days when people would just use binoculars to track you
It's like no one wants to work to violate privacy anymore. Ah these Millennials pull yourself up by your bootstraps
The panic playdate the little yellow gaming handheld with a fun crank control is available to buy in 18 countries
Including Switzerland Belgium and even the frozen wasteland of Canada
But you can't buy one in Malaysia the country where every single playdate console is made
Panic's shipping page cites tax reasons and the verge notes that both panic and the Malaysian
Government caught on to the playdates popularity a bit too late to avoid a situation where
Malaysians can only get one if it's shipped to California and then back again. That sounds like a panic at the Frisco
What is the Frisco San Francisco?
And Nintendo had their first direct of the year on Wednesday dropping game announcements like oranges dropped by a man who is carrying way too many oranges
We find we got a flashy new trailer for the much anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild and they announced a new Pikmin game
But even better than all that Nintendo announced Metroid Prime remastered. Yeah, which is yes, David
It is awesome, but I was kind of hoping they'd reveal some more stuff about Metroid Prime 4 instead
So ah I'm more confused by my emotions than I was by that guy. I saw a carrying an overwhelming pile of oranges
Why didn't he use bags?
And it would confuse me if you didn't come back on Monday for more tech news
We won't have any oranges though. What do you think this is soccer practice?
All right
