WEBVTT

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

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

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:15.480
Vision Pro and while even the most positive reviews from media Outlets

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:19.920
earlier this week had a tinge of cynicism early Impressions from

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:24.599
customers who just got their $3,500 headsets for the first time are mostly

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:30.199
positive in an uplifting example of post-p purchase rationalization My Fit

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.800
fly my cost sunken after all they Now

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:37.640
using what Tim Cook called tomorrow's technology today a phrase rendered false

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

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:46.160
Persona avatars look so much worse than

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.480
meta's photorealistic codec avatars yeah

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

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.239
meta took the opportunity to piggyback off the Vision Pro launch with an update

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:02.239
for their Quest headsets you know the ones that are a fraction of the cost The

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.159
Quest 2 3 and pro now support playing

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:10.400
back stereoscopic spatial video recorded on an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max something

00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:14.240
Apple May regard as morally wrong and there's a couple new pinch gestures

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.360
because Apple's patent on basic human hand stuff fell through the quests can

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

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:28.640
Vision Pro now has an unofficial YouTube app thanks to Christian selig the

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:35.840
developer of the Apollo Reddit app and no those two things aren't related like

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:38.159
this segue to our next topic ai ai news

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:43.399
is a dime a dozen these days but Google Amazon and actually Apple made some

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:48.200
noteworthy announcements this week Google's barred chatbot can now use the

00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:52.680
tech Giant's own image 2 model to generate images although it declined to

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:58.560
generate an image for cnet's article on this story but did generate an image of

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.960
itself as a blonde cyborg so thanks for

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:06.360
that this Tech is going to change everything the fure Google is also

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:10.119
adding generative AI chat to Maps which looks like a genuinely useful way to get

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.160
info about a place that doesn't involve digging through an endless slideshow of

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:17.680
photos as long as that info isn't hallucinated nonsense causing you to

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.720
show up to an Indian restaurant in a sombrero but at that point the wrong

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.000
restaurant thing is the least of your problems I just love the culture

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.000
meanwhile Amazon announced Rufus a chatbot rolling out in beta that will

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:32.840
help customers shop on the platform overrun by products named I cannot

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:38.040
fulfill this request it goes against open AI use policy yeah AI stuff is

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

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.319
all changes this year according to Tim Cook himself during the company's

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.920
earnings called yesterday Tim said they're putting a tremendous amount of

00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:55.680
time and effort into Ai and they're excited to share the details later this

00:02:53.239 --> 00:03:00.519
year now he's either talking about the company's research getting llms running

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:04.840
on iPhone Hardware or an Android version of you that will treat your mom better

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:12.400
than you ever did you haven't even bought her an iPhone yet you pathetic

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:15.920
insect she birthed you ungrateful Rich

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.159
reviews for the Samsung Galaxy s24 s24

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:21.200
plus and s24 Ultra are also out with

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:26.239
reviewers praising the lineup's new complimentary AI features like Circle to

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:30.799
search and on device translation but the hardware is where some are finding flaws

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.360
which makes sense given that in at least one area the phone's actually got a

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:41.439
downgrade the Ultras stuck with a 5x optical zoom instead of 10x as if on Q

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.720
insteps the frustratingly named company nothing with its first major product

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:49.640
announcement I can remember since they thought they had solved iMessage on

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.959
Android that lasted for like a day we just didn't think it was that

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.840
complicated anyways all of a sudden they launched the nothing phone 2A yesterday

00:03:54.760 --> 00:04:02.640
which has been rumored since December a pixel a serieses more budget friendly

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:04.840
alternative to the $600 nothing phone 2

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:08.720
the company didn't reveal the 2a's price design or release date but just knowing

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:14.519
it's out there makes me feel a bit better and that's not

00:04:11.079 --> 00:04:16.199
nothing I won't apologize $600 for

00:04:14.519 --> 00:04:20.840
nothing now it's time for quick bits brought to you by ODU every business

00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:25.240
needs a good website so why pay for the bare necessities or Mother Nature's

00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:29.199
recipes when you can make a free website with ODU instead their interface is

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.039
super simple to use with intuitive dragon drop elements and a userfriendly

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.440
codefree approach that'll have your website up and running in a matter of

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:40.840
clicks they've also recently introduced their own AI copywriter powered by chat

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

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.320
a loss for words which may happen when you see your new website if you still

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.600
aren't convinced you'll also get unlimited hosting support and a free

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:54.280
custom domain for one year so visit the link below and start creating a website

00:04:53.039 --> 00:05:00.240
for free with Odo quick bits man they just they just

00:04:57.039 --> 00:05:01.680
get you right just get you right right

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.320
there on Wi-Fi company Morse micro has

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:13.080
published a record-breaking real world demonstration of their Halo based

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:19.720
microprocessors showing that they create Wi-Fi networks capable of maintaining

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:22.840
video calls at a distance of 1.8 miles 3

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.680
km Ultra long range Wi-Fi signals

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:29.120
usually aren't powerful enough to load media never mind maintain a video call

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:33.360
but even at its farthest range the connection maintained a minimum speed of

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:38.400
1 megabit a second despite the test taking place in a busy populated area

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:43.080
this could be a GameChanger in the practicality of massive Citywide Wi-Fi

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:47.880
networks making your excuses to your mother about why you haven't called all

00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:53.000
the more infeasible Tim is going to come and take her from you she deserves so

00:05:50.919 --> 00:05:57.360
much better the browser company has announced more AI powered features for

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:01.160
its Arc browser and would you believe me if I told you that they actually look

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.400
kind of cool because you shouldn't but let me tell you anyway ark's instant

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.479
links feature skips the search results page entirely scanning for the best

00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:14.319
handful of links and tabs and opening them for you immediately live folder is

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.919
a Google Alerts like feature except instead of keywords it scans the web for

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.240
Content relating to topics you like when something new comes up it throws it in a

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:28.599
folder and notifies you arcs browse for me results webpage generating feature is

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:31.680
also coming to desktop from iOS where it launched earlier this week and

00:06:30.280 --> 00:06:35.479
altogether it seems like the browser company just really wants to knock a

00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:40.000
chunk out of Google search business by not forcing people to deal with popups

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

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:50.560
using AI generated voices should be officially recognized as illegal under

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.440
an existing law from 1991 which bans the

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.360
use of artificial and pre-recorded voices in non-emergency calls without

00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.720
written permission from the call recipient that was already

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:04.759
illegal these kinds of rooc calls have spiked over the past few years including

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.840
a recent voter suppression effort that used a fake Joe Biden the real one was

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:14.240
busing he's got stuff to do likely created using 11 Labs software to

00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:19.479
discourage voters from participating in the New Hampshire primary and save their

00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:24.080
votes for the November election which is just not how votes work they expire if

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

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:33.039
plans to introduce a new six-month residency Visa for digital Nomads in

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:37.800
order to make it easier for high-skilled remote workers consultants and online

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:42.000
content creators to live in the country despite not being employed in Japan the

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:46.479
government is currently taking public comment but hopes to launch the program

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:51.319
in March in order to be eligible you must be a millionaire but only a

00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:57.400
Japanese millionaire making over 10 million yen a year equivalent to around

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:59.560
$68,000 which still it's it's a bunch

00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:04.159
currently over 50 countries off offer digital Nomad visas most of which allow

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:08.080
significantly longer stays with far less stringent income requirements I mean if

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:12.759
you've got a visible means of support other than your legs you can just hang

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:18.199
out in Germany for 3 years maybe give up the anime get really into techno dance

00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:21.680
vome to Germany you dance like you're from

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:26.080
here and according to a new study published in science researchers have

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:31.400
developed a new machine learning model that mimics the way children learn

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:33.039
language how did they do it well by

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:38.120
strapping a camera to a toddler's forehead and feeding the resulting audio

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:40.440
and video to an AI like a baby let'splay

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:44.360
like a baby IRL stream the birth rate is declining and that's a problem because

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:49.000
we need more physical constructs to strap the AI on to by seeing the world

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

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:58.839
to make associations between words and objects the same way a cute little human

00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:03.040
larvae would hopefully demystifying a process that once upon a time all of us

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:07.560
went through but none of us remember so can you prove it what happened but I

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:11.839
know you'll remember to come back on Monday for more Tech news just like you

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

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.160
quiz sport
