WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680 Welcome to the premiere news channel for tech celebrity couples. 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.560 Unfortunately, today it's bad news. We'll get through this together. 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:14.080 Microsoft has announced a new partnership with French AI company and open AI rival, 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.800 Mistral. Truly a sad day for the Shippers of Microsoft and Sam Maltman, 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:24.320 also known by the community as Maltman. The multi-year agreement is apparently a part of Microsoft's new 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.960 AI access principles to promote innovation and competition in the AI space 00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:33.200 through investments, partnerships, and programs. Microsoft loves programs. 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.680 Mistral AI has only been around for about a year, but they've made some serious waves and secured record-breaking financial backing. 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.960 Mistral just launched their new flagship large-language model, 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.640 aptly named LARGE. 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.280 This and other LLMs from the company will now be offered on Microsoft's Azure Cloud computing 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.000 platform. Mistral is also rolling out a multilingual chatbot called Le Chat, 00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:00.880 which is masculine French for the cat, but which will likely be mispronounced by 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.600 hapless English speakers as the feminine word for cat, which is, of course, extremely vulgar slang. 00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.840 Thanks, France. With this deal, Microsoft appears to be shifting away from open AI and Sam Maltman. 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.880 Microsoft President Brad Smith himself said, Sam is brilliant, but just as the printing press evolved beyond Gutenberg, 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:21.520 AI is evolving beyond any single individual. 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.840 It's a very poetic argument for a polyamorous relationship. 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:34.240 Post-segularity world is going to be freaky. Samsung publicly unveiled the Galaxy Ring at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona today, 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.040 though no one was allowed to take pictures. The ring will allegedly have a longer battery life than Samsung's own smartwatches 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.960 and offer health services like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and even fertility 00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:48.560 tracking, thanks to a partnership with Natural Cycles' birth control app. 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.800 But Samsung may have some competition on the horizon in the form of Apple. 00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:56.240 Korean outlet ET News allegedly spoke to an industry insider 00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.480 who claims, also allegedly, advanced development for commercialization of an Apple smart ring is imminent. 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.400 Mark Gurman, however, doesn't entirely agree. 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.320 Mark, a shark with the spark to hunt for stories in the dark, 00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:14.880 says that an Apple ring is currently just an idea, 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:21.200 and Gurman claims it isn't the only one. Apple is apparently exploring multiple wearable devices such as smart glasses, 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:28.160 similar to Meta's Ray-Ban partnership. The Cupertino company is even considering adding cameras to their AirPods that could then be used 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:34.000 to capture data for a multimodal AI system, which is also like Meta's smart glasses, 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.360 but could allow for a smaller form factor. I hate this idea. 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.640 Of course, these ideas are merely early-stage explorations. Apple probably won't seriously consider releasing these 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:49.920 until they can figure out a way to sell them for $3,500, or $300 five years after several other companies already doing it. 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.040 I figured out how to do it. Mobile World Congress 2024 kicked off in, I'll say it again, Barcelona today, 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:00.640 and there's already been a massive amount of weird and wonderful announcements. 00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:06.480 Here's a roundup of some of the best so far. Avonier Telecom used its license of drumming rabbit company Energizer 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:10.800 to slap a smartphone inside a 28,000 mAh battery. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:17.120 While the phone specs are entry-level at best, the battery can apparently last for a week, and that's regular use, 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.040 and the device sports a nice IP69 rating. 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:26.480 Finger guns, finger guns, finger guns. Nokia phone manufacturer HMD is partnering with Mattel 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:32.160 to release the Barbie Flip phone this summer. Not much is known about the phone, other than it will 100% be pink, 00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:35.280 and is meant for people who want to reduce their screen time. 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.400 And question their existence. More Barbie time. 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.160 For people that want more screen, Motorola shut off a bendable phone concept 00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:46.480 that wraps around your wrist when used in combination with a special magnetic bracelet. 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:51.280 And do you hate that laptop screens don't let you advertise everything you search for? 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.240 Did everyone else in the room? Well, now they can, thanks to Lenovo's see-through laptop. 00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:03.520 Some tech journalists have finally gotten their hands on the concept device, and while the 17.3-inch transparent mini LED screen is super cool, 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.640 no one can think of a single use case for such a device. 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:10.480 Xiaomi, however, has a use case for their CyberDog 2, 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:14.880 and that seems to be replacing your dog. It can talk to you and do backflips. 00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:18.880 Can your dog do that? So one thing you can't do, like what? 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:25.120 Quick bits. I hardly know bits. But honestly, I thought about asking bits out because there might be something there. 00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:30.480 Google just announced they're rolling out more AI features in Google Messages, 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.880 Android Auto, and more. Less than a week after causing controversy over whether it's Gemini AI is racist. 00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:41.600 You gotta strike while the iron's hot. Gemini will be able to chat directly with users in messages, 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.880 summarize long texts from boomers, and create one-tap contextual buttons for actions like sharing your ETA in Android Auto. 00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:53.920 Google AI will also generate image descriptions for blind and low-vision users in Lookout, 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.080 whatever that is, and in Maps, you'll be able to point your phone's camera at your surroundings 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:01.840 and hear information about businesses or landmarks spoken out loud. 00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:07.600 I'm just gonna ride the bus with that on. You just have to ask yourself if it's ethical to get that information from a racist robot. 00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:15.760 Do any white people work here? Uh, Microsoft is currently testing a new method of making critical updates for Windows 11 00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:19.360 without requiring a reboot, called hot patching. 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.760 The summer is hottest patching, which is already in use in Windows Serve and Xbox. 00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:30.080 The new feature should debut later this year, and hopefully stop Microsoft from spoiling your kill streak with yet another annoying update. 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.560 Keep in mind, Microsoft is nearly 50 years old now, which is roughly when a mature company should expect to start experiencing hot patches. 00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:43.760 AMD launched a China-exclusive cut-down version of the RX 7900XT graphics card back in August, 00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:47.120 called the 7900GRE, Golden Rabbit Edition. 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.000 But now, they're setting it free to travel the world and compete with NVIDIA's RTX 4070. 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:59.440 That card just got its price dropped to $550 USD, so that's what the 7900GRE will cost as well, 00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:04.080 which is great news for gamers since Team Red's option has more memory and better performance 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.640 in many areas, at least according to AMD. 00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:12.720 Remind me to never upset Dr. Lisa Su. For all I know, she's got a way better James sitting in China, 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.120 just waiting to come up here and f**k my s**t up. 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.520 Reddit's official IPO filing claims the popularity of subreddit WallStreetBets 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.720 is a stock price risk due to the extreme volatility it caused in meme stocks like GameStop. 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.800 Reddit's user base as a whole isn't super thrilled about the IPO and Reddit's attempt 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.760 to monetize them, though WallStreetBets doesn't think Reddit can monetize them 00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:43.680 to one day actually be profitable. After all, the risk factor section of Reddit's IPO is longer than Twitter's 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.080 and Facebook's IPO risk factors combined, and Elon works at one of those. 00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:51.840 At this point, buying Reddit stocks seems like dating someone who has more red flags 00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:52.960 than a Swiss embassy. 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:02.560 One man used the power of Twitter to jailbreak a prison laptop he bought on eBay. 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.440 Most people may have given up on a laptop with no OS, no storage, or no USB ports, 00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:11.680 but Twitter user Zefray underscore wenting isn't most people. 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:18.640 With the power of the internet's public square on his side, wenting hot wired a USB hub to the laptop somehow managed to get a permanent storage 00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:23.680 solution despite the laptop's hard drive ban list and then did what anyone else would do 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.080 after hacking a prison laptop, shoved it up as a s**t, just joking. 00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:30.800 He started gaming. Free Doom! 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:34.640 No really, Free Doom, the free game for the Doom engine. 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.640 That's what he played. And you should play our next video when it comes out on Wednesday, 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:43.040 so you can stay up to date on the hottest tech news. Who's gonna break up with whom? 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.560 How many times do we say whom? Is that right or wrong? 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.760 It's right. Bye.
