1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560 Hey, congratulations. You've made the right decision to stay up to date 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,840 with the tech news instead of going outside 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,320 and ignoring all the important stuff that's happening online. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,000 Hundreds of thousands of user chats with GROC, XAI's chatbot, 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,840 are publicly searchable on Google as reported by Forbes 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,520 because as many people discovered when a similar story about chat GBT blew up 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,300 less than a month ago, clicking share in a GROC chat 8 00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:31,240 allows it to be indexed by Google. But this is a bit different 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,160 because unlike chat GBT, GROC's whole thing is being unrestricted. 10 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,880 So these leaks chats show users generating everything from instructions 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,880 on how to make restricted substances to plans for taking down Elon Musk. 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,240 And I'm sure some of the Japanese language chats are totally normal and not concerning 13 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,720 but not the ones I happen to click on. When the story broke about chat GBT's shared chats 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,440 being searchable, open AI disabled chat GBT's Google indexing feature 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,800 pretty quickly. But as of now, the GROC chats are still up on Google 16 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,080 and they apparently have been since at least January 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,520 as pointed out by Gagangotra on Twitter. 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,160 He also spotted Gemini, which was then called Bard doing the same thing in 2023 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,920 shortly before Google turned that off. Meanwhile, Meta continues to allow Meta AI chats 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,780 to be indexed, they're fine with it. Also following the chat GBT story a few weeks ago, 21 00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:31,780 one of Twitter's many genius investigators 22 00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:38,100 asked GROC about it, which is what you do. GROC claimed it had no such sharing feature, 23 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:42,140 which was retweeted by Elon with GROC for the win. 24 00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:46,740 And yet another example of why asking chatbots about how they work is about as useful 25 00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,740 as asking dogs why they chase squirrels. 26 00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:54,060 As soon as you say the word squirrel, look, the interaction's over. 27 00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:57,140 The batteries in all Pixel 10 series phones 28 00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:03,840 will have their effective capacities reduced after just 200 charging cycles as a safety measure, 29 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,240 as confirmed to Android authority by Google, who refuses to build batteries 30 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,720 containing anything other than Coke, Mentos, and lava harnessed from an active volcano. 31 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,260 It's a matter of principle. The battery nerf is managed by Google's battery health assistance feature, 32 00:02:19,260 --> 00:02:24,780 which gradually reduces maximum voltage to prevent the exploding battery debacles 33 00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:27,940 that plagued the Pixel 4a and 6a. 34 00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:33,780 The feature can be turned off on most Pixel devices, but that's not the case for the Pixel 9a 35 00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:38,380 and now the Pixel 10 series as well, because there's just no way 36 00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:44,660 to figure out how Samsung devices are able to survive 2,000 charging cycles just fine, 37 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:50,060 which we know about thanks to the EU's European product registry for energy labeling, 38 00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:53,540 a title that you know in German is all one word. 39 00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:59,900 NVIDIA has halted production of its China-specific H20 AI data center GPUs 40 00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,100 because China, 41 00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:07,660 they don't want them no more. Insider sources told the information 42 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:13,420 that NVIDIA has instructed component suppliers for H20 GPUs to hold off after China 43 00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:19,300 told the country's tech companies that buying NVIDIA chips is now a no-no, 44 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,500 as the Financial Times reports. This shift in attitude followed directly 45 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,620 from a CNBC interview with US Commerce Secretary, 46 00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:31,820 Howard Lutnik, in which he made comments that Chinese leadership found insulting. 47 00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:36,940 Lutnik said he wants Chinese developers to get addicted to American technology. 48 00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:40,060 You know, they can try using a Nokia phone, 49 00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:41,980 but it just doesn't give you that buzz. 50 00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:46,660 They outlawed setting your phone to vibrate in the EU. 51 00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:52,940 Don't go outside for real yet. You're gonna want to hear these quick bits first. 52 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:57,740 They'll help. Trump Mobile has posted a new T1 phone image, 53 00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:00,980 not another image of the same T1 phone. 54 00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:08,860 It's a different T1 phone image, which really seems like a Photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 55 00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:13,860 with a Spigen case on it. The tweet is somehow still up 56 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:19,580 despite the attached community note and a tweet from Spigen promising a lawsuit. 57 00:04:19,580 --> 00:04:23,940 But of course the tweet's still up. Trump Mobile obviously has a plan here, 58 00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:27,820 which appears to be post a new image of a random phone every couple months. 59 00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:32,460 Their website still has the old pic of the gold iPhone. 60 00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:35,260 And why does this guy look like he wants to eat me? 61 00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:42,580 The 12-volt high power connector strikes again, but this time, taking down its first AMD victim. 62 00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:47,580 A user called Savings Opportunity 3 posted last month on Reddit asking 63 00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:53,100 if they should be concerned about melting and showed off a picture of their cable one month after. 64 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,940 A user responded saying AMD cards don't have a melting problem. 65 00:04:56,940 --> 00:05:01,140 Well, the cable melted. Now this was one of the very few AMD cards 66 00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:05,540 that uses this connector. It was an ASRock Tai Chi RX9070XT. 67 00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:13,060 So most Radeon users should be safe. And this guy says his GPU still works until it doesn't. 68 00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:16,340 Speaking of AMD, it seems like someone over there had some butterfingers 69 00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:21,740 and accidentally posted the entire source code for FSR4 up on GitHub. 70 00:05:21,740 --> 00:05:24,860 FSR4 or FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 71 00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:28,260 is AMD's resolution upscaling and frame generation technology. 72 00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:32,340 And in this source code, it seems to suggest that AMD had at least tried 73 00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:36,500 to get it working on some older RDNA3 GPUs, 74 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,980 not just the newest ones. The GitHub page was pulled down almost immediately, 75 00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:46,540 but that didn't stop people from getting at least some screenshots and maybe even some downloads of the repo. 76 00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:52,460 But until someone does something with it, we can only dream of GPU makers being generous 77 00:05:52,460 --> 00:05:56,140 and giving our older cards new features. Stop the ageism. 78 00:05:56,140 --> 00:06:00,500 AI startup Dynamics Lab has released Mirage 2, 79 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,380 which looks essentially like Google's recently unveiled world model, Genie 3, 80 00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:08,580 but with less limits. And this one's actually playable. 81 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:12,500 You can generate a world based off any image and like Genie 3, 82 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:18,300 you can add additional prompts while playing through it so you can seamlessly bring Red Dead Redemption 2's 83 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:22,600 Arthur Morgan into a cyberpunk city or an alien planet, 84 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,340 which Rockstar didn't include in the real game, probably because they didn't have this tool. 85 00:06:27,340 --> 00:06:31,260 So someone get Rockstar on the phone, they need to see this, they need our help. 86 00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:34,780 And to the surprise of no one, someone managed to get Doom running 87 00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:41,020 on a random piece of tech that has a screen. YouTuber Aaron Christofell, Christofell, 88 00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:44,180 showed off his modded anchor prime charging station 89 00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:50,180 and even uses the little dial on the side to control the game in perhaps the jankiest way possible. 90 00:06:50,180 --> 00:06:56,540 As for specs, the charging station has eight megabytes of SD RAM and 16 megabytes of external flash, 91 00:06:56,540 --> 00:07:00,980 proving that your overpowered gaming PC is entirely unnecessary. 92 00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:05,180 People are out gaming in caves with a box of scraps. 93 00:07:05,180 --> 00:07:08,900 It's a lesson for all of us, which is that now it's time to go outside, 94 00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:12,360 not before, now, or go to bed depending on where you are. 95 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,580 Regardless, just come back on Monday for more tech news. And I want you outside until then. 96 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:21,980 It's cold, wear a coat. I'm just kidding, you can do whatever you want, okay.
