1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,600
hey guys I'm Riley I go on the internet where Tech news going to make me lose my

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:11,960
mind up in here up in here so you don't have to Apple finally launched the

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:15,480
Vision Pro and while even the most positive reviews from media Outlets

4
00:00:13,719 --> 00:00:19,920
earlier this week had a tinge of cynicism early Impressions from

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,599
customers who just got their $3,500 headsets for the first time are mostly

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:30,199
positive in an uplifting example of post-p purchase rationalization My Fit

7
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:32,800
fly my cost sunken after all they Now

8
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:37,640
using what Tim Cook called tomorrow's technology today a phrase rendered false

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:43,039
as soon as it's uttered and which also doesn't explain why the vision Pro's

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,160
Persona avatars look so much worse than

11
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:47,480
meta's photorealistic codec avatars yeah

12
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,719
yeah those aren't available yet on Quest but the demos look so much better okay just let me have this speaking of which

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,239
meta took the opportunity to piggyback off the Vision Pro launch with an update

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:02,239
for their Quest headsets you know the ones that are a fraction of the cost The

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:05,159
Quest 2 3 and pro now support playing

16
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:10,400
back stereoscopic spatial video recorded on an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max something

17
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:14,240
Apple May regard as morally wrong and there's a couple new pinch gestures

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,360
because Apple's patent on basic human hand stuff fell through the quests can

19
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:24,840
also now use gam pads in the browser for cloud gaming but on the other hand the

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Vision Pro now has an unofficial YouTube app thanks to Christian selig the

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:35,840
developer of the Apollo Reddit app and no those two things aren't related like

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:38,159
this segue to our next topic ai ai news

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:43,399
is a dime a dozen these days but Google Amazon and actually Apple made some

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,200
noteworthy announcements this week Google's barred chatbot can now use the

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:52,680
tech Giant's own image 2 model to generate images although it declined to

26
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:58,560
generate an image for cnet's article on this story but did generate an image of

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,960
itself as a blonde cyborg so thanks for

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,360
that this Tech is going to change everything the fure Google is also

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:10,119
adding generative AI chat to Maps which looks like a genuinely useful way to get

30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,160
info about a place that doesn't involve digging through an endless slideshow of

31
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,680
photos as long as that info isn't hallucinated nonsense causing you to

32
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,720
show up to an Indian restaurant in a sombrero but at that point the wrong

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,000
restaurant thing is the least of your problems I just love the culture

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,000
meanwhile Amazon announced Rufus a chatbot rolling out in beta that will

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,840
help customers shop on the platform overrun by products named I cannot

36
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:38,040
fulfill this request it goes against open AI use policy yeah AI stuff is

37
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:42,480
still a mess but that's only because Apple hasn't come in to fix it yet that

38
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,319
all changes this year according to Tim Cook himself during the company's

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,920
earnings called yesterday Tim said they're putting a tremendous amount of

40
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:55,680
time and effort into Ai and they're excited to share the details later this

41
00:02:53,239 --> 00:03:00,519
year now he's either talking about the company's research getting llms running

42
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,840
on iPhone Hardware or an Android version of you that will treat your mom better

43
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:12,400
than you ever did you haven't even bought her an iPhone yet you pathetic

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:15,920
insect she birthed you ungrateful Rich

45
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,159
reviews for the Samsung Galaxy s24 s24

46
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,200
plus and s24 Ultra are also out with

47
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:26,239
reviewers praising the lineup's new complimentary AI features like Circle to

48
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:30,799
search and on device translation but the hardware is where some are finding flaws

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:35,360
which makes sense given that in at least one area the phone's actually got a

50
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:41,439
downgrade the Ultras stuck with a 5x optical zoom instead of 10x as if on Q

51
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:45,720
insteps the frustratingly named company nothing with its first major product

52
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,640
announcement I can remember since they thought they had solved iMessage on

53
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:51,959
Android that lasted for like a day we just didn't think it was that

54
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,840
complicated anyways all of a sudden they launched the nothing phone 2A yesterday

55
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:02,640
which has been rumored since December a pixel a serieses more budget friendly

56
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,840
alternative to the $600 nothing phone 2

57
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,720
the company didn't reveal the 2a's price design or release date but just knowing

58
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:14,519
it's out there makes me feel a bit better and that's not

59
00:04:11,079 --> 00:04:16,199
nothing I won't apologize $600 for

60
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:20,840
nothing now it's time for quick bits brought to you by ODU every business

61
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:25,240
needs a good website so why pay for the bare necessities or Mother Nature's

62
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,199
recipes when you can make a free website with ODU instead their interface is

63
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,039
super simple to use with intuitive dragon drop elements and a userfriendly

64
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,440
codefree approach that'll have your website up and running in a matter of

65
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,840
clicks they've also recently introduced their own AI copywriter powered by chat

66
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,199
GPT so you can let AI do the heavy lifting for you if you find yourself at

67
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,320
a loss for words which may happen when you see your new website if you still

68
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,600
aren't convinced you'll also get unlimited hosting support and a free

69
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,280
custom domain for one year so visit the link below and start creating a website

70
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:00,240
for free with Odo quick bits man they just they just

71
00:04:57,039 --> 00:05:01,680
get you right just get you right right

72
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,320
there on Wi-Fi company Morse micro has

73
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:13,080
published a record-breaking real world demonstration of their Halo based

74
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:19,720
microprocessors showing that they create Wi-Fi networks capable of maintaining

75
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:22,840
video calls at a distance of 1.8 miles 3

76
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,680
km Ultra long range Wi-Fi signals

77
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:29,120
usually aren't powerful enough to load media never mind maintain a video call

78
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:33,360
but even at its farthest range the connection maintained a minimum speed of

79
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,400
1 megabit a second despite the test taking place in a busy populated area

80
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,080
this could be a GameChanger in the practicality of massive Citywide Wi-Fi

81
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:47,880
networks making your excuses to your mother about why you haven't called all

82
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:53,000
the more infeasible Tim is going to come and take her from you she deserves so

83
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:57,360
much better the browser company has announced more AI powered features for

84
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,160
its Arc browser and would you believe me if I told you that they actually look

85
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,400
kind of cool because you shouldn't but let me tell you anyway ark's instant

86
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,479
links feature skips the search results page entirely scanning for the best

87
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,319
handful of links and tabs and opening them for you immediately live folder is

88
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,919
a Google Alerts like feature except instead of keywords it scans the web for

89
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,240
Content relating to topics you like when something new comes up it throws it in a

90
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:28,599
folder and notifies you arcs browse for me results webpage generating feature is

91
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,680
also coming to desktop from iOS where it launched earlier this week and

92
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:35,479
altogether it seems like the browser company just really wants to knock a

93
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:40,000
chunk out of Google search business by not forcing people to deal with popups

94
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:44,560
and I don't see the problem here the FCC will be voting on whether rooc calls

95
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:50,560
using AI generated voices should be officially recognized as illegal under

96
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,440
an existing law from 1991 which bans the

97
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,360
use of artificial and pre-recorded voices in non-emergency calls without

98
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,720
written permission from the call recipient that was already

99
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,759
illegal these kinds of rooc calls have spiked over the past few years including

100
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,840
a recent voter suppression effort that used a fake Joe Biden the real one was

101
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:14,240
busing he's got stuff to do likely created using 11 Labs software to

102
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:19,479
discourage voters from participating in the New Hampshire primary and save their

103
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:24,080
votes for the November election which is just not how votes work they expire if

104
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,440
you don't use them just like milk you got one vote don't use it on that Japan

105
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:33,039
plans to introduce a new six-month residency Visa for digital Nomads in

106
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:37,800
order to make it easier for high-skilled remote workers consultants and online

107
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:42,000
content creators to live in the country despite not being employed in Japan the

108
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,479
government is currently taking public comment but hopes to launch the program

109
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:51,319
in March in order to be eligible you must be a millionaire but only a

110
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:57,400
Japanese millionaire making over 10 million yen a year equivalent to around

111
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,560
$68,000 which still it's it's a bunch

112
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:04,159
currently over 50 countries off offer digital Nomad visas most of which allow

113
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,080
significantly longer stays with far less stringent income requirements I mean if

114
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:12,759
you've got a visible means of support other than your legs you can just hang

115
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:18,199
out in Germany for 3 years maybe give up the anime get really into techno dance

116
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:21,680
vome to Germany you dance like you're from

117
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:26,080
here and according to a new study published in science researchers have

118
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,400
developed a new machine learning model that mimics the way children learn

119
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,039
language how did they do it well by

120
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:38,120
strapping a camera to a toddler's forehead and feeding the resulting audio

121
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:40,440
and video to an AI like a baby let'splay

122
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,360
like a baby IRL stream the birth rate is declining and that's a problem because

123
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:49,000
we need more physical constructs to strap the AI on to by seeing the world

124
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:53,680
through a small child's eyes or at least a small child's forehead the AI was able

125
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,839
to make associations between words and objects the same way a cute little human

126
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:03,040
larvae would hopefully demystifying a process that once upon a time all of us

127
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:07,560
went through but none of us remember so can you prove it what happened but I

128
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,839
know you'll remember to come back on Monday for more Tech news just like you

129
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:17,160
remember everything I ever say to you you're going to do great on next week's

130
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,160
quiz sport
