1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,080 After patching out the popular duplication glitches in Tears of the Kingdom, 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,560 the litigation enthusiasts at Nintendo asked themselves, 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,640 how do we make ourselves less popular today? And decided the answer would be sending Valve 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,640 a cease and desist, just pure tactics over there. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,560 Dolphin, a widely used open source GameCube and Wii emulator, announced this weekend 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,280 that its planned Steam release is indefinitely postponed. 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Nintendo was arguing that if this software were released on Steam, it would violate 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,680 Nintendo's copyright by allowing people to play games they legally purchased in 4K. 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,360 Obviously, you have to wait for the remaster. I can pirate Nintendo with just my voice. 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,840 Woohoo! Jail. Now, as much as it hurts us to say this, 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,480 Nintendo's claim has a smidge more legitimacy in this situation than we're used to, 12 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,960 as Dolphin does contain the Wii common key. 13 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,000 Nintendo's proprietary code for decrypting Wii games, 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,440 meaning that Steam would be on the hook for distributing copyright infringing materials 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520 starring pipe-dwelling Italians. Woohoo! 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,480 A spokesperson for Nintendo said that the existence of Dolphin harms development 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,360 and ultimately stifles innovation. Innovations like charging you a subscription 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,680 to play older, uglier games. One innovation Nintendo has allegedly not achieved quite yet 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,920 is the prevention of Joy-Con Drift, with reports that the brand new tiers 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,800 of the kingdom pro controllers have stick drift right out of the box. 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,920 Dual rail drifting. But obviously- What do they mean by Tokyo Drift? 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,360 It's cool over there. The answer to this is obviously that these controllers 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,720 were never meant to be used. They were strictly for scalping on eBay. 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,880 Today at Computex, NVIDIA announced ACE for games, 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,440 a tool that enables AI-powered natural language interactions 26 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,000 with NPCs. Finally, I'll be able to talk to the town's local 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,080 cheese munger about the finer points of aging cheeses and sourcing milks, wilting off gremlins. 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,960 I wanna ask the dragon if he's busy later. We could fight now, I guess. 29 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,320 The service is composed of several pieces. Devs can build and deploy customized language models, 30 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,800 incorporate speech to text and text to speech so players can literally speak to the characters, 31 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,680 and a facial animator that can match a character's facial expression to what the character is saying. 32 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,200 They showed off a video that both demonstrated the AI technology and the widest aspect ratio 33 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,800 we've ever seen on YouTube. That was the real innovation. Wide load. 34 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,520 The demonstration was fine. If by fine, you mean weirdly formal speech patterns, 35 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880 stone-faced animations, and emotionless dialogue. 36 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Like BioWare? Yes. A perfect replica of a modern Western RPG. 37 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,280 Like everything AI, some are worried this technology will cost future, if not present, jobs in the game industry. 38 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Personally, I think it will create massive demand for Devs that can program new and inventive ways 39 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,680 to stop players from bothering the cheese munger for too long. 40 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,840 He's got work to do. He's got a family at home. He makes the cheese, he doesn't wanna talk about the cheese. 41 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,320 It's an intricate process. Something he knows nothing about because he's AI. 42 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,800 He's not real. And Mark Gurman, AKA Edgar Allen, 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,920 posed the conqueror, Gurm, got to take a look. 44 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:09,160 That's a deep cut. Got to take a look at Metta's unannounced Quest 3 headset 45 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,480 to see how it stacks up to Apple's upcoming model. Since Gurman shoots like a Sherman, 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,920 eradicating squirman, vermin, get ready for learning when I deliver Gurman's sermon. 47 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,680 Thank you, Jacob. That was fire. Specifically, he commented on the brand new 48 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280 color pass-through cameras, which offered a more lifelike experience 49 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,360 than the Quest 2's non-color pass-through cameras, which would only be lifelike in the 1940s 50 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,680 when everything was black and white. That's why old pictures are like that. 51 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,200 It was different back then. No wonder grandma's still grumpy. Gurman wrote that the pass-through rendering 52 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200 of the real world allowed him to use his phone while also wearing the headset, 53 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,440 the whole point of us building these things so we could use our phone. 54 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,760 The genius of this is you can leave the headset on forever, 55 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,600 so you never have to deal with the embarrassing red marks that leaves on your face. 56 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,760 Gurman also mentioned the Quest 3 is far lighter and thinner than the Quest 2 57 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,520 and has much improved performance due to its second generation Snapdragon XR2 chip. 58 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,800 Comparing the headset to Apple's upcoming one, Gurman called the Quest 3 about a fifth as much in cost 59 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,920 while being more than a fifth as compelling, which is often how tech link gets compared to LTT. 60 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,280 To ensure standardized measurement, we keep the original quick bit 61 00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:20,840 in a vacuum sealed container within a vault. And we no longer make eye contact. 62 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:25,480 We learned that lesson. ASUS decided to solve the burning GPU problem once and for all 63 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,720 by announcing a graphics card with no power cables. 64 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,820 You just look at it. All the power comes from a second PCI-E connector 65 00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:36,480 that allows for 600 watts to be delivered to the card. Pretty good. 66 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,040 The connection is proprietary and requires the use of a compatible ASUS motherboard. 67 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,960 So if anything goes wrong, you'll have to deal with ASUS's customer support twice. 68 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,320 So it's a bit of a trade-off. A recent study has found that AI writing assistants 69 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,480 can affect the opinions of their human users. 70 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,040 Researcher Maurice Jacquesche had participants write essays 71 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,520 about if social media is good for society while using an AI writing assistant. 72 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,120 One group's assistant was made to be biased towards positive opinions of social media, 73 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,240 while another's was biased towards negative opinions. 74 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Jacquesche found the assigned assistant's bias affected both the essay and the opinions 75 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,740 of the participants they shared in attitude surveys afterward. 76 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:23,800 So go ahead and use AI to help you write your English lit essay if you're fine getting gaslit 77 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,920 into believing you actually enjoyed Moby Dick. Based on a real story, 78 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200 way more cannibalism in real life. There's a bunch of Quakers, 80's around the corner. 79 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,800 Oh, there's real history. We're learning something. According to the European Union, 80 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,320 Twitter has pulled out of the EU's voluntary standards 81 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,780 program intended to fight disinformation. The EU's internal market commissioner announced it 82 00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:48,520 on the platform itself while mentioning that Twitter will be required to combat disinformation 83 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,520 come August 25th when the Digital Services Act comes into effect. 84 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,520 I don't believe anything I read on Twitter. No, thanks to this. But instead of just tweeting that, 85 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,560 the commissioner added, obligations remain. You can run, but you can't hide. 86 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,800 Which leads me to believe that Europe is manufacturing bureaucratic terminators. 87 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360 Elon, you son of a bitch. Sign the form. 88 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,300 Recently surfaced internal documents show that Sony patented a handheld device 89 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:20,180 very similar to their recently announced Project Q as far back as 2015, 90 00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:23,580 leading to the shocking revelation that cutting a controller in half 91 00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:28,660 and gluing a screen in the middle is something you can patent. Despite possibly eight years of development, 92 00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:34,020 rumors among industry insiders indicate that the handheld has a whopping three to four hours 93 00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:40,220 of battery life equivalent to half a steam deck or fittingly one whole Wii U gamepad. 94 00:06:40,220 --> 00:06:43,140 When did that come out again? Was it 2015? No. No. 95 00:06:44,140 --> 00:06:49,300 And a law firm suing a Colombian airline submitted a brief citing six cases 96 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,180 that don't exist because they were made up by ChatGPT. 97 00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:58,620 One of the lawyers behind the brief admitted in an affidavit that he had used the AI in his research, 98 00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:03,980 but worry not, he double checked its work by asking it if it was lying in what its sources were. 99 00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:08,700 A ChatGPT, a lying liar who lies, responded that of course the cases were real 100 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:14,060 and he could find them on legal research platforms like Westlaw and LexisNexis, 101 00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:18,300 which of course he didn't check if those were real. Those are real websites. 102 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,580 Those are real websites. But you'll wanna check back on Wednesday 103 00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:25,180 for more tech news. If you don't, the EU's internal market commissioner 104 00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:29,860 will come visit you while you're sleeping and you don't want that. 105 00:07:29,860 --> 00:07:33,540 They're your taxes. Trust me. It's not fun. 106 00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:35,060 I saw you think that.
