1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160 No one's buying NVIDIA's new RTX 4060 Ti. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,840 Swish for the good guys. US retailer Micro Center only ordered 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,400 a handful of cards for each location and decided against opening early 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,960 in response to what they describe as zero consumer interest in the GPU. 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,440 In Japan, when two retailers in Tokyo's popular Akihabara district, I'm sorry I haven't been to Japan guys, 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440 opened for launch, they were met with a crowd filled 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,600 with customer, not one customer per store, 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,600 just one literal guy. Meanwhile, European retailers are already selling 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,080 the card below MSRP, presumably due to low demand. 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,880 Adding insult to injury, Intel cut the price of its ARC A750 to exactly half the price 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,080 of the 4060 Ti, making it a way better value proposition 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,400 for 1080p gaming and AV1 encoding. And your wallet. 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,000 Poor Jensen Wang must be crying all the way to the bank 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,080 as the company's stock exploded by almost 30% 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,120 due to their AI chip market. Yeah, while a small fisher lambasting team green 16 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,760 were trying to rip us off, Enterprise Wales are sucking down their overpriced krill 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,400 and asking for seconds, launching an NVIDIA toward a $1 trillion evaluation. 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,200 It's Jensen's damn leather jacket. It's too powerful for one man to possess. 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,960 An eating disorder helpline has decided to fire their six paid staffers and 200 volunteers 20 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,320 and replace them with a chatbot. But before you get mad, you should know 21 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,880 that the chatbot's name is Tessa. So, oh, does that not change anything? 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,240 Anyway, NEDA, NEDA, NEDA, the National Eating Disorders Association 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,240 has operated a helpline for 20 years. But after the small staff organized a union vote 24 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,360 to get the organization to expand staffing, NEDA's board chair told the employees 25 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,760 that they were ending the helpline program and transitioning to all Tessa all the time on June 1st. 26 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,480 That's soon. A NEDA spokesperson told Vice that Tessa 27 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,680 is not a replacement for the helpline. Of course not. 28 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,680 They're just ending the helpline and using the chatbot in its place. 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,800 What a mouthful to say. I wish there was a word for that. It's repli... 30 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,320 It's on the tip of my tongue. Replicoid. 31 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Suffluent? Unethical. 32 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Helpline staffers are concerned Tessa won't be able to replace the experience 33 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,280 of talking to a human and Dr. Fitzsimmons Kraft who led the team that created Tessa agrees. 34 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320 What could a professor of psychiatry at Washington University's medical school 35 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,200 possibly know of mental health treatment? It's Washington. 36 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,400 They can't even decide on their last name. And Sony's streamed their PlayStation showcase 37 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,800 on Wednesday and made the bold decision to showcase very little of the PlayStation. 38 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,560 All Xbox. Really? No. We got a gameplay reveal trailer for Alan Wake 2 39 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,480 coming to PS5 and PC. Bungie decided to revive their marathon IP 40 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,800 which were a series of three single player FPS games. 41 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,600 Only now instead of that, it's a multiplayer only team based PVP extraction shooter 42 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,200 which makes perfect sense to someone. Please Larry. 43 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,480 Seemingly inspired by Bungie's bravery, Square Enix decided to revive Nintendo's 44 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,880 very much alive Splatoon IP. A series about squid and octopus people 45 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,400 shooting ink all over the place as the same game 46 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,440 but with generic anime protagonists shooting foam all over the place this time. 47 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,800 Then, seemingly inspired by that small bit of Nintendo plagiarism, 48 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,920 Sony formally announced they are reviving 49 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,000 the Wii U game pad as a screen sandwich between two halves of a DualSense controller. 50 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,520 Genius. This Project Q, worst name ever, 51 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,360 will allow you to remotely play games on your PS5 over Wi-Fi, 52 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,400 something that must be popular among Sony staff and probably no one else. 53 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,400 QN on maybe? Some think this could eventually be part of some 54 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,000 counter move to Xbox cloud gaming by Sony since the company is currently overhauling 55 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,760 its cloud gaming offering. Perhaps to make the clouds more foam like. 56 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,560 Foam stars coming soon. We're stuck on Splatoon. Quick bits. 57 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,240 Quick bits. Quick bits. Quick bits. 58 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,360 Elon Musk's Neuralink has received FDA approval to stick brain implants into the brains of living humans 59 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,280 which the company announced on Elon Musk's Twitter. I mean, all Twitter's Elon Musk's Twitter. 60 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Elon claimed in December that Neuralink was six months away from sticking a chip in some guy 61 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,360 and after an investigation into Neuralink's staff complaints about the needless deaths of 1500 non-human animals 62 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,800 and an investigation into the company for the possible unsafe transport of hardware 63 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,600 contaminated with infectious pathogens, Elon's prediction came true for once. 64 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,480 Is there anything he can't predict other than everything else? Several marriages, I think. 65 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,480 Open AI's much more Boy Scout-y CEO, Sam Altman, 66 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:39,360 was in the news yesterday after he threatened to cease operating in the EU due to proposed AI regulations. 67 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Obviously, Mr. Altman stands in stark disagreement with AI leaders like Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, 68 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,240 who a week ago urged the US Congress for AI regulations 69 00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:55,400 acknowledging AI's potential impact on jobs. Yet, just today, Mr. Altman seems to have changed his mind 70 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,240 on the EU's regulations saying Open AI has no plans to leave. 71 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760 It seems Mr. Altman was able to convince Mr. Altman to change his mind. 72 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,040 Mr. Altman, that is. Yes, of course. We all love Mr. Altman. 73 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,160 Scientists have discovered a new antibiotic to treat a drug-resistant superbug 74 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,160 called Ancinotobacter baumaneili. 75 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,160 Sinotobacter baumaneili. 76 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,320 That sounds like a Vietnamese sandwich. They're derp, they're derp. 77 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,320 Their deep learning model is able to narrow over 6,000 novel chemical compounds 78 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,640 to 240 perspectives that were then tested in the lab. 79 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,720 Nine of those were potential antibiotics with one showing strong suppression 80 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200 of the deadly superbug. Of course, none of this would have been necessary 81 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,080 if we just stopped giving bacteria capes. No capes. 82 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Or twisty mustaches. HP, the company known for preventing customers 83 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,640 from using third-party ink, is doing it again. But with a fun new twist, 84 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:55,640 their best-selling printers offer a time-limited offer for HP+, which gives six months of free ink 85 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,520 and an extended warranty, but will lock your printer into only working 86 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,800 with HP inks, even if you cancel after. The thing is, these HP products 87 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,180 have the EPET Ecolabel, which prohibits this behavior. 88 00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:13,280 All in all, HP+, is a bad value proposition. I mean, it doesn't even have any original programming. 89 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,800 Nothing. They just licensed Disney stuff. And McDonald's China is celebrating 90 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,920 the year of the chicken, McNugget, with a giant nugget that plays Tetris. 91 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Did I put a T on the end of that? It's a sad Tetris. It's a, whatever. 92 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,040 For a limited time, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the worldwide release of the McNugget, 93 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,680 you can buy an officially-licensed handheld version of the popular puzzle game for a mere 30 Yuan, 94 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,360 or $4.25. Or you could before they instantly sold out. 95 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,040 Of course they did. Gamers can't resist cheeky nuggies. Give me those Tendies, baby. 96 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,440 Just like you won't be able to resist coming back on Monday for more tech news. 97 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,680 And if you bring me Tendies, I'll teach you how to grow facial hair from somewhere other than your neck. 98 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,720 Here's a hint. Genetics. Hot parents, guys.
