1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,760 Hey guys, so I did go back to that wedge on Facebook Marketplace because she had a crazy 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,200 good deal on DDR5 and while she did curse me, it actually works out because I've been 3 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:26,840 wanting to get into growth maxing. AMD launched the Ryzen 99950X3D2 today, the world's first desktop CPU with 3D Vcash on 4 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:33,760 both chiplets and reviewers agree it's a cool chip that nobody should really buy. 5 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,480 At $900, Ars Technica calls it a chip that costs a lot without giving you tons of tangible 6 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,560 benefits in return and Tom's hardware recommends a different chip to 99 out of 100 buyers. 7 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,880 But I don't know, maybe those outlets are biased, where are all the other reviews, what's 8 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:58,140 going on? Turns out, it seems like AMD sent samples to far fewer reviewers for this chip launch. 9 00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:03,040 Many popular channels, including LTT, were left out of receiving product samples. 10 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,000 Tech Power Up reported that AMD allegedly instructed retailers not to sell to press 11 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:16,240 ahead of this launch. But why? Jay's2sense, who did not get a sample, suspects that AMD knew this chip was a bit lackluster 12 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,600 and limited the marketing push, a theory shared by Hardware Unboxed, who did receive 13 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,760 a sample. Tech Power Up says AMD picked outlets unlikely to dig into the chip's caching quirks? 14 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,760 If in case that comes off like we're saying something about Hardware Unboxed, we're not. 15 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,480 Hopefully we get some answers soon on what is apparently the world's first dual Vcash 16 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,680 CPU, and also the world's most reluctant product launch. 17 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,800 Who made them launch this? Framework finally went pro yesterday with a ground-up redesign of the laptop 13, featuring 18 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:58,720 a full CNC aluminum chassis, a custom 2.8K touchscreen, and acclaimed 20-plus hours 19 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,280 of battery life. There's an option for it to come pre-loaded with Ubuntu, aligning with the CEO's pitch 20 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,520 that this ultimate developer laptop is the MacBook Pro for Linux users. 21 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,520 The highest compliment you can pay a Linux user without getting a 3-hour lecture about 22 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,600 why you're wrong. I don't know man, I use Arch, so. 23 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,160 In case everyone didn't hear that, he uses Arch. Did you guys get that? 24 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,160 The Intel version of the laptop 13 Pro DIY edition is set to start shipping out in June. 25 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Also coming soon is the Framework laptop 16's new Oculink Dev Kit, a full 128 gigabit per 26 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,040 second 8-lane PCIe connection out the back so you can turn your portable laptop into 27 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,760 an instant desktop with just a cable and a GPU. 28 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,440 Framework's also building a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad, watch out Logitech! 29 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,120 And we'll be releasing both the CAD files so you can 3D print and design your own keyboard, 30 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,080 and selling the bare circuit board separately for the truly hardcore DIYers. 31 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Framework started with repairable laptops, now it's redesignable keyboards, soon they'll 32 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,280 be shipping a refinery starter pack to smelt your own ingots. 33 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Fingers crossed. Remember Mythos? That AI model from Anthropic that was so dangerous, Dario Amade, assembled a nerd justice league 34 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,080 called Project Glasswing to keep it locked down? Well, a bunch of randos just got access to it. 35 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,320 They left the back door unlocked, whoopsies. The good news is, they're not using it for hacking. 36 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,600 They seem to have stuck to harmless tasks, like building simple websites in an effort 37 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,280 to avoid detection. Ultimately though, it's still not great news for Anthropic, since that makes two security 38 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,000 incidents this month, following the accidental release of some of the source code for the 39 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Claude Code app. Reports say the users belong to a private Discord channel that hunts for unreleased AI 40 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,480 models. The most dangerous game. And they got in on April 7th, the same day Anthropic announced Mythos, by combining a 41 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,640 contractor's access with details from a recent Mercor data breach. 42 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,000 This sounds like a spy thriller, I don't know what those things mean. 43 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,280 Initially, everyone wrote off the too dangerous to release stuff, as Dario just being a hype 44 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,520 beast for his own thing, but with Mythos continuing to uncover real security vulnerabilities 45 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,360 all over the internet, it's proven itself to be a real threat. 46 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,440 So hey, maybe lock your sh** down, Amade. 47 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,760 I just tore open a hole in your firewall to inject a segue to our sponsor. 48 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,840 Man, the QuickBits look even smaller to me now. 49 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280 In fact, everything does. 50 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Reading might be difficult. Deezer is sounding the alarm on AI-generated music flooding its platform, and wants Spotify 51 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:49,360 and Apple Music to take it seriously too. The French streaming service is now stripping AI tracks of high-res quality, and pulling 52 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:58,240 them from algorithmic recommendations. Apparently, they're catching 75,000 uploads a day, totaling over 2 million a month. 53 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,680 And all it took was merely all the water in the American Midwest. 54 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Meta is installing tracking software on its US employees' computers to capture mouse 55 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,440 movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots for AI training, explicitly stating they are 56 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,640 not using this data for performance review purposes. 57 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,200 And as we know, Meta's never lied about how they use the data they collect. 58 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,680 I trust him. With the company planning another round of layoffs in May, employees are considering 59 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,320 quitting now to avoid helping to train their AI replacements. 60 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:39,240 But I don't think they even needed that idea to help them quit. I don't think anyone would feel comfortable with old Zuckerberg watching their strokes. 61 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Keystrokes! Keystrokes! Hesai, the world's largest vehicle LiDAR maker you just heard about, just announced 62 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,880 new LiDAR tech capable of detecting color. 63 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,480 According to Hesai, the ability for LiDAR systems to be able to detect color is an innovation 64 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,800 in the space which should improve the performance of self-driving cars. 65 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,640 Deutsche Bank analysts have also commented saying the innovation is expected to significantly 66 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,560 enhance spatial intelligence and reduce the need for cars to guess at objects like traffic 67 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:16,280 lights. What do you mean they were just guessing? Intel has announced plans to expand overclocking support to more budget and mainstream CPUs, 68 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:21,280 breaking with years of restricting the feature to high-end K-series chips. 69 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,120 Intel's Robert Halleck told PC Games Hardware that overclocking shouldn't be locked to people 70 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,640 dropping 500 bucks and that budget buyers deserve the same features. 71 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,200 They didn't before, but now they do. 72 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Budget buyers have really grown a lot. And YouTuber and lamest supervillain, Dr. Semiconductor, just fabricated functioning 73 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,200 Micronscale RAM cells in his garden shed. 74 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,680 The ultimate hold-my-beer type reaction to the RAMpocalypse. 75 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,040 He first converted the shed into a Class 100 semiconductor clean room and then used silicon 76 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:10,760 wafers, hydrofluoric acid, piranha solution, UV photolithography, and an aluminum metalization 77 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,960 step to put together working memory cells. 78 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,080 Wow. There's plans for more, which is good given suppliers are set to meet only 60% of global 79 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,920 demand. At this point, it's just embarrassing for RAM manufacturers who still can't seem to 80 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:31,120 keep up with some guy who made this in a shed with a box of scraps. 81 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,120 Wow. Okay. Lesson learned. 82 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Ah, who am I kidding? 83 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,800 These Facebook Marketplace witches have the best PC part discounts on the market. 84 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,720 I'll absolutely be back. It's like you'll be back Friday for some more tech news. 85 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,800 Please tell me to stop.
