WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160 No one's buying NVIDIA's new RTX 4060 Ti. 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.840 Swish for the good guys. US retailer Micro Center only ordered 00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:11.400 a handful of cards for each location and decided against opening early 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.960 in response to what they describe as zero consumer interest in the GPU. 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, 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.440 opened for launch, they were met with a crowd filled 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.600 with customer, not one customer per store, 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.600 just one literal guy. Meanwhile, European retailers are already selling 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.080 the card below MSRP, presumably due to low demand. 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 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.080 of the 4060 Ti, making it a way better value proposition 00:00:45.080 --> 00:00:48.400 for 1080p gaming and AV1 encoding. And your wallet. 00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:52.000 Poor Jensen Wang must be crying all the way to the bank 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.080 as the company's stock exploded by almost 30% 00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.120 due to their AI chip market. Yeah, while a small fisher lambasting team green 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:03.760 were trying to rip us off, Enterprise Wales are sucking down their overpriced krill 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.400 and asking for seconds, launching an NVIDIA toward a $1 trillion evaluation. 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.200 It's Jensen's damn leather jacket. It's too powerful for one man to possess. 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.960 An eating disorder helpline has decided to fire their six paid staffers and 200 volunteers 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:22.320 and replace them with a chatbot. But before you get mad, you should know 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.880 that the chatbot's name is Tessa. So, oh, does that not change anything? 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.240 Anyway, NEDA, NEDA, NEDA, the National Eating Disorders Association 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.240 has operated a helpline for 20 years. But after the small staff organized a union vote 00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:41.360 to get the organization to expand staffing, NEDA's board chair told the employees 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. 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.480 That's soon. A NEDA spokesperson told Vice that Tessa 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.680 is not a replacement for the helpline. Of course not. 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.680 They're just ending the helpline and using the chatbot in its place. 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.800 What a mouthful to say. I wish there was a word for that. It's repli... 00:02:01.800 --> 00:02:05.320 It's on the tip of my tongue. Replicoid. 00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:08.480 Suffluent? Unethical. 00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:12.160 Helpline staffers are concerned Tessa won't be able to replace the experience 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. 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.320 What could a professor of psychiatry at Washington University's medical school 00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:25.200 possibly know of mental health treatment? It's Washington. 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:29.400 They can't even decide on their last name. And Sony's streamed their PlayStation showcase 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.800 on Wednesday and made the bold decision to showcase very little of the PlayStation. 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.560 All Xbox. Really? No. We got a gameplay reveal trailer for Alan Wake 2 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.480 coming to PS5 and PC. Bungie decided to revive their marathon IP 00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:46.800 which were a series of three single player FPS games. 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.600 Only now instead of that, it's a multiplayer only team based PVP extraction shooter 00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:55.200 which makes perfect sense to someone. Please Larry. 00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:59.480 Seemingly inspired by Bungie's bravery, Square Enix decided to revive Nintendo's 00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:03.880 very much alive Splatoon IP. A series about squid and octopus people 00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:07.400 shooting ink all over the place as the same game 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.440 but with generic anime protagonists shooting foam all over the place this time. 00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:14.800 Then, seemingly inspired by that small bit of Nintendo plagiarism, 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.920 Sony formally announced they are reviving 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.000 the Wii U game pad as a screen sandwich between two halves of a DualSense controller. 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.520 Genius. This Project Q, worst name ever, 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.360 will allow you to remotely play games on your PS5 over Wi-Fi, 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.400 something that must be popular among Sony staff and probably no one else. 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.400 QN on maybe? Some think this could eventually be part of some 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.000 counter move to Xbox cloud gaming by Sony since the company is currently overhauling 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.760 its cloud gaming offering. Perhaps to make the clouds more foam like. 00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:51.560 Foam stars coming soon. We're stuck on Splatoon. Quick bits. 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.240 Quick bits. Quick bits. Quick bits. 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 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. 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 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 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.800 and an investigation into the company for the possible unsafe transport of hardware 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.600 contaminated with infectious pathogens, Elon's prediction came true for once. 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.480 Is there anything he can't predict other than everything else? Several marriages, I think. 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.480 Open AI's much more Boy Scout-y CEO, Sam Altman, 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. 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, 00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:49.240 who a week ago urged the US Congress for AI regulations 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 00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:59.240 on the EU's regulations saying Open AI has no plans to leave. 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.760 It seems Mr. Altman was able to convince Mr. Altman to change his mind. 00:05:02.760 --> 00:05:06.040 Mr. Altman, that is. Yes, of course. We all love Mr. Altman. 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.160 Scientists have discovered a new antibiotic to treat a drug-resistant superbug 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.160 called Ancinotobacter baumaneili. 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.160 Sinotobacter baumaneili. 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.320 That sounds like a Vietnamese sandwich. They're derp, they're derp. 00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:24.320 Their deep learning model is able to narrow over 6,000 novel chemical compounds 00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:27.640 to 240 perspectives that were then tested in the lab. 00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:31.720 Nine of those were potential antibiotics with one showing strong suppression 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.200 of the deadly superbug. Of course, none of this would have been necessary 00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:39.080 if we just stopped giving bacteria capes. No capes. 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.760 Or twisty mustaches. HP, the company known for preventing customers 00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:48.640 from using third-party ink, is doing it again. But with a fun new twist, 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 00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:59.520 and an extended warranty, but will lock your printer into only working 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:03.800 with HP inks, even if you cancel after. The thing is, these HP products 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.180 have the EPET Ecolabel, which prohibits this behavior. 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. 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.800 Nothing. They just licensed Disney stuff. And McDonald's China is celebrating 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.920 the year of the chicken, McNugget, with a giant nugget that plays Tetris. 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. 00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:33.040 For a limited time, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the worldwide release of the McNugget, 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, 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.360 or $4.25. Or you could before they instantly sold out. 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.040 Of course they did. Gamers can't resist cheeky nuggies. Give me those Tendies, baby. 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. 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. 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.720 Here's a hint. Genetics. Hot parents, guys.
