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

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

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

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.760
both chiplets and reviewers agree it's a cool chip that nobody should really buy.

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

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.

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

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.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:03.040
Many popular channels, including LTT, were left out of receiving product samples.

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:08.000
Tech Power Up reported that AMD allegedly instructed retailers not to sell to press

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

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:21.600
and limited the marketing push, a theory shared by Hardware Unboxed, who did receive

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?

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.

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:39.480
Hopefully we get some answers soon on what is apparently the world's first dual Vcash

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.680
CPU, and also the world's most reluctant product launch.

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

00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:58.720
a full CNC aluminum chassis, a custom 2.8K touchscreen, and acclaimed 20-plus hours

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

00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:09.520
that this ultimate developer laptop is the MacBook Pro for Linux users.

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.520
The highest compliment you can pay a Linux user without getting a 3-hour lecture about

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.600
why you're wrong. I don't know man, I use Arch, so.

00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:20.160
In case everyone didn't hear that, he uses Arch. Did you guys get that?

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.

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

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:38.040
second 8-lane PCIe connection out the back so you can turn your portable laptop into

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:41.760
an instant desktop with just a cable and a GPU.

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:47.440
Framework's also building a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad, watch out Logitech!

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,

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.080
and selling the bare circuit board separately for the truly hardcore DIYers.

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.880
Framework started with repairable laptops, now it's redesignable keyboards, soon they'll

00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:06.280
be shipping a refinery starter pack to smelt your own ingots.

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

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.

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.

00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:28.600
They seem to have stuck to harmless tasks, like building simple websites in an effort

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

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.000
incidents this month, following the accidental release of some of the source code for the

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

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

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:58.640
contractor's access with details from a recent Mercor data breach.

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.000
This sounds like a spy thriller, I don't know what those things mean.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.280
Initially, everyone wrote off the too dangerous to release stuff, as Dario just being a hype

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.520
beast for his own thing, but with Mythos continuing to uncover real security vulnerabilities

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.360
all over the internet, it's proven itself to be a real threat.

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.440
So hey, maybe lock your sh** down, Amade.

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:25.760
I just tore open a hole in your firewall to inject a segue to our sponsor.

00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:29.840
Man, the QuickBits look even smaller to me now.

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.280
In fact, everything does.

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

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

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.

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.680
And all it took was merely all the water in the American Midwest.

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.520
Meta is installing tracking software on its US employees' computers to capture mouse

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:12.440
movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots for AI training, explicitly stating they are

00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:15.640
not using this data for performance review purposes.

00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:21.200
And as we know, Meta's never lied about how they use the data they collect.

00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:26.680
I trust him. With the company planning another round of layoffs in May, employees are considering

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.320
quitting now to avoid helping to train their AI replacements.

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.

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:46.120
Keystrokes! Keystrokes! Hesai, the world's largest vehicle LiDAR maker you just heard about, just announced

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.880
new LiDAR tech capable of detecting color.

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

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.800
in the space which should improve the performance of self-driving cars.

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.640
Deutsche Bank analysts have also commented saying the innovation is expected to significantly

00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:08.560
enhance spatial intelligence and reduce the need for cars to guess at objects like traffic

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,

00:06:16.280 --> 00:06:21.280
breaking with years of restricting the feature to high-end K-series chips.

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.120
Intel's Robert Halleck told PC Games Hardware that overclocking shouldn't be locked to people

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:31.640
dropping 500 bucks and that budget buyers deserve the same features.

00:06:31.640 --> 00:06:35.200
They didn't before, but now they do.

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

00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:49.200
Micronscale RAM cells in his garden shed.

00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:53.680
The ultimate hold-my-beer type reaction to the RAMpocalypse.

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.040
He first converted the shed into a Class 100 semiconductor clean room and then used silicon

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:10.760
wafers, hydrofluoric acid, piranha solution, UV photolithography, and an aluminum metalization

00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:13.960
step to put together working memory cells.

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

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

00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:31.120
keep up with some guy who made this in a shed with a box of scraps.

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.120
Wow. Okay. Lesson learned.

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.400
Ah, who am I kidding?

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:41.800
These Facebook Marketplace witches have the best PC part discounts on the market.

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.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.800
Please tell me to stop.
