WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.080 Sit down for a minute, son. I know I'm not your Riley. I can never be your 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.200 Riley, and I'm not trying to replace him. Think of me as your step Riley. I'm 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:13.679 the Riley that tells you the tech news and makes love to your mother. All 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:18.400 right, champ. >> I've never been to the South. What is this? 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:24.320 >> Intel appears to be priming a new GPU for release, quietly adding official 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:27.279 support for somethingamed BMG G31 to its 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:32.399 Vtune profiler software. This update has the community buzzing that this could be 00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:38.160 it. Intel's long rumored big battle mage gaming card, the B770. The update also 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:41.600 adds support for Core Ultra 3 Panther Lake processors. And since Panther Lake 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:45.760 is expected to debut at CES [music] 2026, we're thinking this could be a 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:48.960 sign that we might also be introduced to the Wide War Wizard. 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.680 >> Did you get the Wide War Wizard thing that >> at WWW, like the worldwide web? 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:59.600 >> No. No. Now consider the fact that a leaked shipping manifest references a 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.440 hereto for unseen 300 watt Intel GPU and 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.519 you might conclude that because 300 watts is bigger than the existing ARB 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:11.280 580s 190 watt TDB, this mysterious newcomer has to be the B770. Right, 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.960 right, right. Of course, it is also 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.759 possible that it's actually just another non-gaming Arc Pro card like the B60 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.240 that launched at Computex, but I mean that was still pretty sick. So honestly, 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.600 whichever way Intel chooses to shake up the GPU market, I'm down. Because right 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:30.960 now, the market could use a good shake. >> Snap out of it. 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.000 >> Meanwhile, Google plans to bring ads to its Gemini chatbot by the end of 2026 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.159 and is already briefing advertisers on the features rollout, according to Ade, 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.600 because nothing says helpful assistant like recommending things that make my 00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:47.840 shopping list even longer >> in this economy. This news follows Elon 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:51.920 saying that Grock will do pretty much the same thing and rumors of Open AI 00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.479 doing pretty much the same thing as well. But the company's head of chat 00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:01.840 GPT, Nick Turley, tweeted that OpenAI is 100% not testing ads in ChatGpt. After 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.399 all, a core tenant of this company's culture is a focus on burning money, not 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.840 making it. If and when chat bots do add ads, by the way, could it mean that 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:14.000 humans will end up plugging products in normal conversation? Tide pods because 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.040 apparently people have started speaking in a chatbot influenced dialect. 00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:24.000 Researchers found that people who use chat bots a lot are developing a 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:29.280 tendency to speak in slob. Unironically using words like delve, intricate, and 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:33.599 tapestry way more than they usually would. >> You just did. 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:38.239 >> I I just did. Well, at least it might help us communicate with our new agentic 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.319 teammates who an Amazon exec recently said can be essential to every team. As 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.879 essential as the people sitting right next to you. Look to your left. Look to 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.080 your right. They're gone. So, you might want to practice your slot speak. Folks, 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:55.200 next time you need to access a spreadsheet, make sure that you repeat after me. Please open unto me a doorway 00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:00.319 to the rich tapestry of spreadsheet solutions. >> This isn't just a spreadsheet, it's a 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.680 portal. Meta, meanwhile, is rolling out major changes to its targeted 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.239 advertising across Facebook and Instagram in Europe. Not because they 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:13.120 want to, but because legal regulators are finally forcing their hand. Under 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:17.680 new requirements from the EU's Digital Markets Act, Meta must now give users 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:21.519 more control over whether their personal data can be used in targeted 00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:25.920 advertising. And unlike previous choices, this one is not allowed to be 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:31.040 buried under three menus in a roundabout attempt at hiding the settings. Users 00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.840 across the EU and soon the UK will be able to opt out of personalized ads 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:41.040 entirely, meaning that advertisers will need to serve more contextual ads that 00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.959 don't rely on profiling. Regulators say this is the first time that Meta has 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.159 offered a meaningful consent mechanism instead of their take it or leave it 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:52.720 model that got them into legal trouble last year. This is a big hit for mega 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.720 corporations across the world who rely heavily on targeted ads and will require 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.360 many platforms to modify their advertising campaigns to handle users 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:04.879 contributing far less data to them. So take that meta. Now you can try selling 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.879 me something without knowing how many times I've gone to the bathroom today. 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.360 How will you know what size of toilet paper pack I need? Ah, although if you 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.880 are concerned about what information these companies have, then you should check out our sponsor, Delete Me, your 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.800 personal data deletion specialist, which is a useful thing to have since data 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.479 brokers already have your info. Unless you've been living off the grid or in a 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:31.120 magical board game for the past few decades. 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.360 What year is it? In which case, welcome back and I'm sorry because the internet 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.880 is now possibly more frightening than a Jumanji situation. But I'm not sorry 00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.600 that Delete Me has been the leading expert in personal data removal for over 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:47.280 15 years. They continuously remove your data using their own tech, not 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:50.639 outsourcing the work to third parties, and they were recently named by 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.400 Wirecutter as the number one data removal service.

These 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.800 minuscule morsels have had a bit of a tough time getting used to me not being 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.080 their real Riley. Maybe because I can't get their name right, but I think we've 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.680 had a breakthrough today. >> Daddy, >> the PlayStation 5 appears to have 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:21.520 crushed Black Friday 2025 sales, making up 47% of all consoles sold. But the 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.600 same can't be said for team Xbox, who absolutely 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:30.240 whiffed it. The Switch 2 came in a respectable second place, but the Xbox 00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:35.440 Series XS, they didn't even reach the podium. Talk 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.120 about extra small sales. 00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:42.160 H. But wait, who took third then? It 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.800 turns out it was the next playground, 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:50.240 a motion controlled family oriented console that I just learned about today. 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.680 Years old. Who needs the X when you can 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.680 get the next? >> Yeah, that's pretty good. >> Pew pew. 00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.560 >> Yeah, I like that. Analytics firm Gartner is warning companies not to let 00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:04.400 employees use AI powered browsers due to the irreversible and untraceable risks 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:08.960 that they pose to company data and privacy. Gartner's report indicates that 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.479 traditional security controls cannot reliably stop the screen reading 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:17.120 features of these browsers from potentially causing leaks. Well, sure, 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.720 but did Gartner know about Google's new security update for Chrome's AI 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.600 features? It will use a vetting system powered by Gemini duh. To check that any 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:31.600 automated actions truly match what you asked for and to block suspicious ones. 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.360 Haha. Am I the only one not put at ease when a company tells me that they've 00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:40.000 made an AI to monitor their AI's upups? >> Well, who else do you want? 00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:45.199 >> Scientists at Cedar Sinai Medical Center have engineered an experimental RNA 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:47.360 based drug called TY1 that mimics a 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:52.560 natural repair signal released by heart cells. TY1 works by boosting a gene 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:56.960 called T-Rex one. Okay, you got to be you got to be making this up now. 00:06:54.880 --> 00:07:01.440 >> Which spurs immune cells to clear damaged DNA so that healing can begin. 00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:06.240 And in animal tests, it helped cells actually repair DNA, cut down scar 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.319 tissue, and improved healing after tissue injuries. This could be a brand 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.880 new way to treat heart attacks, which more and more people are having as they 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.880 look at RAM prices. 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.520 >> That's dynamite. and Engine AI dropped 00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:26.880 yet another video of its Model T800 humanoid robot. And this time it nearly 00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:28.400 kicked their CEO's teeth out, which is 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:33.840 probably the most honest performance review of the robotics industry that I've ever seen, and probably the most 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:37.599 ominous foreshadowing of where the robotics industry is headed. The company 00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:42.479 posted that short as well as a longer behind-the-scenes video after their 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:45.759 first Chuck Norris style showcase 00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:48.240 was met with viewers crying CGI. 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:52.319 Well, it seems like Engine AI has proved the naysayers wrong. This clanker means 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:56.560 business. >> Wow. >> Meanwhile, Tesla's Optimus bot tried to 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.639 serve some drinks in their recent video and collapse like an inep drunkard. 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:06.400 Maybe it was inspired by that Russian AI doll bot thing. You know what? You've 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:10.160 done a great job today. You'll probably be back with Riley on Wednesdays for 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:13.919 well, every other Wednesday for more tech news and weekend Wednesdays. But 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:22.440 don't forget, it's going to be me picking you up on Saturday for soccer. All right, we don't need to say I love 00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:22.440 you goodbye, but maybe someday.
