WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.560 Hey, congratulations. You've made the right decision to stay up to date 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:07.840 with the tech news instead of going outside 00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:11.320 and ignoring all the important stuff that's happening online. 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:16.000 Hundreds of thousands of user chats with GROC, XAI's chatbot, 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.840 are publicly searchable on Google as reported by Forbes 00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:23.520 because as many people discovered when a similar story about chat GBT blew up 00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:27.300 less than a month ago, clicking share in a GROC chat 00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:31.240 allows it to be indexed by Google. But this is a bit different 00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:36.160 because unlike chat GBT, GROC's whole thing is being unrestricted. 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.880 So these leaks chats show users generating everything from instructions 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.880 on how to make restricted substances to plans for taking down Elon Musk. 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.240 And I'm sure some of the Japanese language chats are totally normal and not concerning 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 00:00:55.720 --> 00:01:00.440 being searchable, open AI disabled chat GBT's Google indexing feature 00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:04.800 pretty quickly. But as of now, the GROC chats are still up on Google 00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.080 and they apparently have been since at least January 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:11.520 as pointed out by Gagangotra on Twitter. 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.160 He also spotted Gemini, which was then called Bard doing the same thing in 2023 00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:22.920 shortly before Google turned that off. Meanwhile, Meta continues to allow Meta AI chats 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, 00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:31.780 one of Twitter's many genius investigators 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, 00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:42.140 which was retweeted by Elon with GROC for the win. 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:46.740 And yet another example of why asking chatbots about how they work is about as useful 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:49.740 as asking dogs why they chase squirrels. 00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:54.060 As soon as you say the word squirrel, look, the interaction's over. 00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:57.140 The batteries in all Pixel 10 series phones 00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:03.840 will have their effective capacities reduced after just 200 charging cycles as a safety measure, 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.240 as confirmed to Android authority by Google, who refuses to build batteries 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:13.720 containing anything other than Coke, Mentos, and lava harnessed from an active volcano. 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, 00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:24.780 which gradually reduces maximum voltage to prevent the exploding battery debacles 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.940 that plagued the Pixel 4a and 6a. 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 00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:38.380 and now the Pixel 10 series as well, because there's just no way 00:02:38.380 --> 00:02:44.660 to figure out how Samsung devices are able to survive 2,000 charging cycles just fine, 00:02:44.660 --> 00:02:50.060 which we know about thanks to the EU's European product registry for energy labeling, 00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:53.540 a title that you know in German is all one word. 00:02:53.540 --> 00:02:59.900 NVIDIA has halted production of its China-specific H20 AI data center GPUs 00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:01.100 because China, 00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:07.660 they don't want them no more. Insider sources told the information 00:03:07.660 --> 00:03:13.420 that NVIDIA has instructed component suppliers for H20 GPUs to hold off after China 00:03:13.420 --> 00:03:19.300 told the country's tech companies that buying NVIDIA chips is now a no-no, 00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:23.500 as the Financial Times reports. This shift in attitude followed directly 00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.620 from a CNBC interview with US Commerce Secretary, 00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:31.820 Howard Lutnik, in which he made comments that Chinese leadership found insulting. 00:03:31.820 --> 00:03:36.940 Lutnik said he wants Chinese developers to get addicted to American technology. 00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:40.060 You know, they can try using a Nokia phone, 00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:41.980 but it just doesn't give you that buzz. 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:46.660 They outlawed setting your phone to vibrate in the EU. 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. 00:03:52.940 --> 00:03:57.740 They'll help. Trump Mobile has posted a new T1 phone image, 00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:00.980 not another image of the same T1 phone. 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 00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:13.860 with a Spigen case on it. The tweet is somehow still up 00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:19.580 despite the attached community note and a tweet from Spigen promising a lawsuit. 00:04:19.580 --> 00:04:23.940 But of course the tweet's still up. Trump Mobile obviously has a plan here, 00:04:23.940 --> 00:04:27.820 which appears to be post a new image of a random phone every couple months. 00:04:27.820 --> 00:04:32.460 Their website still has the old pic of the gold iPhone. 00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:35.260 And why does this guy look like he wants to eat me? 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. 00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:47.580 A user called Savings Opportunity 3 posted last month on Reddit asking 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. 00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:56.940 A user responded saying AMD cards don't have a melting problem. 00:04:56.940 --> 00:05:01.140 Well, the cable melted. Now this was one of the very few AMD cards 00:05:01.140 --> 00:05:05.540 that uses this connector. It was an ASRock Tai Chi RX9070XT. 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. 00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:16.340 Speaking of AMD, it seems like someone over there had some butterfingers 00:05:16.340 --> 00:05:21.740 and accidentally posted the entire source code for FSR4 up on GitHub. 00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:24.860 FSR4 or FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:28.260 is AMD's resolution upscaling and frame generation technology. 00:05:28.260 --> 00:05:32.340 And in this source code, it seems to suggest that AMD had at least tried 00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:36.500 to get it working on some older RDNA3 GPUs, 00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:40.980 not just the newest ones. The GitHub page was pulled down almost immediately, 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. 00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:52.460 But until someone does something with it, we can only dream of GPU makers being generous 00:05:52.460 --> 00:05:56.140 and giving our older cards new features. Stop the ageism. 00:05:56.140 --> 00:06:00.500 AI startup Dynamics Lab has released Mirage 2, 00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:05.380 which looks essentially like Google's recently unveiled world model, Genie 3, 00:06:05.380 --> 00:06:08.580 but with less limits. And this one's actually playable. 00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:12.500 You can generate a world based off any image and like Genie 3, 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 00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:22.600 Arthur Morgan into a cyberpunk city or an alien planet, 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. 00:06:27.340 --> 00:06:31.260 So someone get Rockstar on the phone, they need to see this, they need our help. 00:06:31.260 --> 00:06:34.780 And to the surprise of no one, someone managed to get Doom running 00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:41.020 on a random piece of tech that has a screen. YouTuber Aaron Christofell, Christofell, 00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:44.180 showed off his modded anchor prime charging station 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. 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, 00:06:56.540 --> 00:07:00.980 proving that your overpowered gaming PC is entirely unnecessary. 00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:05.180 People are out gaming in caves with a box of scraps. 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, 00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:12.360 not before, now, or go to bed depending on where you are. 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. 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.
