1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040 Ha, it's revenge of the fifth the day that I'm allowed to be honest about the fact that Star Wars is dead 2 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:08,520 Because 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,440 Good point Google suddenly announced the pixel fold on Thursday 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,080 Surprising the whole internet the company used Star Wars day to tweet out a teaser of the product and a frankly 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,240 offensive pun giving us our first execute order 66 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,680 You because our first official look at the device less than a week before Google's IO event on May 10th 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,920 Of course rumors about the phone have been circulating for months 8 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,920 But it's great to get our first real look at the phone and its bezels and confirm that Google is 9 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Still more of a software company 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:52,840 The fold now has an official store page with a banner confirming that more information about the phablet will come out during IO 11 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400 I haven't heard that word in years 12 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,600 In a long time 13 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,560 Man, I can't wait to hear a Google executive probably tell us that the fold is powered by the tensors G2 14 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,800 So see has 12 gigs of RAM 120 Hertz displays costs 15 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,800 1800 bucks and a bunch of other stuff that John Prosser and Evan Blass said weeks ago a 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:22,360 Leaked internal document from a senior Google engineer warns that the tech giant and its competitor open AI may soon face their 17 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,160 greatest rival in AI development at Tony Shalhoub fan 69 18 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,560 You mean Tony Shalhoub of the of monk spame? Yes 19 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:38,040 I mean really it could be any of the other 68 fans of the star of television's award-winning crime dramedy monk 20 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,520 so in the document engineer Luke Cernow argues that Google and open AI are being 21 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:52,240 Leapfrogged by indie open-source AI researchers who are making massive strides in AI development in their basements with 22 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:58,360 Gaming laptops do in no small part to the leak of Metas Lama large language model 23 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Cernow urges that Google's only option is to learn from and collaborate with what others are doing outside Google 24 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,840 Even if that means reading a lot of AI generated monk fan fiction and some slash fiction 25 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,520 Grassroots AI research is also gaining attention in the EU which is doing what it does best and developing regulations 26 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,920 But there's a risk that sweeping restrictions on AI could limit grassroots researchers ability to create 27 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:34,240 questionably conscious entities in their basement Regulations could also cause the EU to risk losing the AI arms race to the US and that's all according to an open letter 28 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Coordinated by large-scale AI open network aka 29 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,520 Lyon a German nonprofit AI research group. Oh, man 30 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,680 If I had a dollar for every time America and Germany were fighting 31 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320 I would use them as seed capital to fund research toward building a time machine 32 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Which I would use to go back in time and prevent several key historical events that would have supplied me the initial dollars 33 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,840 I used to fund the machine thus creating a potential time paradox that would threaten the fabric of space time 34 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Or maybe I'd buy an ice cream I don't and Xbox had Phil Spencer gave an interview on the kind of funny X cast where he discussed many topics in 35 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Reference to Xbox competing with PlayStation and Nintendo in the console market Spencer remarked 36 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,560 There is no world where Starfield is an 11 out of 10 and people start selling their ps5 37 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,840 Really demonstrating why he is the head of Xbox his vision is so vast 38 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,680 He can see through the multiverse, but can he see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch? 39 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Of course the reason Phil believes this elusive world doesn't exist is because he spent years searching 40 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,600 No, it's because Microsoft lost the Xbox one generation where everybody built their digital library of games 41 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,240 And as a result Xbox can't claw back the market share from its competitors. There's just there's just no way 42 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Discussing Xbox exclusive specifically. He also commented on the mediocre reception of the game Red Fall 43 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 This sounds like a fun podcast episode 44 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:06,600 Just like whipping himself Phil said game critics rated the game double digits lower than what the Xbox team 45 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,920 Expected based on their own internal mock reviews now since we've already established that Phil Spencer is a higher-dimensional being 46 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:20,600 It's more than likely this is some 40 chess move to convince UK regulators that if they don't reverse their decision blocking the 47 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Activision merger Xbox will go bankrupt leaving only two incredibly profitable games console companies to duke it out for world domination 48 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:36,840 And if there's one thing the UK hates, it's a two-party system and that's a joke about them having more than one party two parties 49 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000 It's like Canada so look it up 50 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,280 I've never told anyone this But long bits killed my family 51 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,120 That's why I've dedicated my life to cutting them down to size 52 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:59,520 The European Space Agency is making big moves in its future projects by exploring nuclear-powered 53 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:07,000 Rockets for deep space travel and even space-based solar farms that will send energy to earth with lasers 54 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,000 What? But before they move forward they need to explain how the name of the rocket study rocket roll 55 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:22,720 stands for Eliminary European reckon on nuclear electric propulsion for space applications 56 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:32,000 Sounds to me like rocket roll stands for I can't spell you guys could speak like 75 languages can't write 57 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,920 That's not how acronyms work Discord has announced they are changing the way their usernames work speaking of which so that many users will probably have to pick a 58 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,200 New one the platform currently has a four-digit tag to differentiate users with the same username 59 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,520 But they have decided to get rid of it to make usernames on discord 60 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,720 Look a lot like those on other platforms because nothing makes you stand out quite like being the same 61 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,280 Microsoft has announced it is opening Bing AI access up to everyone. This is a great idea 62 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,760 No longer will you have to wait in line for a reason to finally use the search engine you've been purposely avoiding for years 63 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,040 Alongside this announcement Microsoft said it will be adding more features to the chatbot like enabling charts and graphs and bings 64 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,920 Answers and even allowing chat history in the edge browser so that Bing will remember all the 65 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,840 Horrible puddles of internet scum and had to swim through just so you could find the conversion rate between US dollars in Vietnamese dong 66 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,160 Are you happy so much dong? 67 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,600 Apple and Google have partnered to develop a set of standards and best practices to reduce the misuse of 68 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,360 Bluetooth tracking devices which are these handy little devices that you both find your luggage and stock your ex-girlfriend very useful 69 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,400 The new specification would inform users of Android and iOS devices when they're being tracked without their consent 70 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Which has received widespread support in the industry because come on.
