WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720 Tech news won't keep you alive in a desert island situation but it could 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:12.960 give you more to think about like hmm maybe Nintendo was right to dmca 00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:15.719 everyone like that hmm and then you die 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:21.000 Chachi BT was all the rage but get ready to hear more about projects based on 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.039 auto GPT a GitHub project posted two 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.859 weeks ago that modifies large language models like open ai's GPT to function as 00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:33.120 semi-autonomous agents that means when you give it a goal instead of giving you 00:00:30.779 --> 00:00:37.980 a response and then waiting for a prompt number two like a fun chat bot it will 00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:41.820 give itself feedback based on its own performance and continue acting in 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.960 pursuit of its goal until you shut it down like a Terminator from the movie 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:51.120 Terminator every time you use it you have to put it into a molten metal Auto 00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:54.899 GPT spawned many similar projects many of which are trending on GitHub 00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:58.980 including an official Microsoft Project called Jarvis because it was the 00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:04.320 reference in case you didn't quite understand these AIS act more like 00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:08.700 little humans than before which is why researchers just published a study where 00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.840 25 of them were put in a video game and when one of them was given the idea to 00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:17.700 throw a Valentine's day part the agents autonomously sent out invites met new 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.380 acquaintances asked each other on dates to the party and then actually showed up 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:27.479 which is frankly much better than many humans could do why did the robots get 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:32.040 love so that's one thing another concerning AI thing is scammers who are 00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:36.060 currently right now tricking normal people into thinking their loved ones 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.340 have been kidnapped using voice cloning Ai and caller ID spoofing so it actually 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.960 looks almost exactly like the scene from Taken except you don't have a certain 00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:50.820 set of skills you're just Tammy just Tammy now we can look at things like the 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.860 recently announced Dolly 2.0 an open source llam with promise as a chat GPT 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.720 competitor for the people as a cool democratization of AI Tech but given how 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:06.060 this Tech has gone from being future scary to scary right now it's we're 00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:11.640 scared about it now we should be asking whether we need democratization or 00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:14.940 regulation which is why the U.S government agency responsible for these 00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:19.739 things is currently seeking public comments to help it put together laws to 00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:24.599 protect us from the Eldritch Horrors literally every programmer is clicking 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.940 up on their laptops right now 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:31.680 I need to calm down in lighter news uh this fun leaked video has given us a 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:37.319 glimpse of a new Windows UI custom made for gaming handhelds like the steam deck 00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:39.840 or Rog Ally so that's that's cool hey 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:43.440 this is cool now given that the handheld Windows mode is being made for an 00:02:41.459 --> 00:02:48.720 internal hackathon project it's unclear whether Microsoft is for sure going to 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:51.060 release something like this I mean not 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.300 doing so would lead more people on board the Linux gaming hype train but maybe 00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:59.340 Microsoft is fine with that you know we've got so many people using Windows 00:02:56.340 --> 00:03:01.560 it's almost too many stop using Windows 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:06.360 so please but one feature that Microsoft is officially working on is a presence 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.440 sensing mode which has shown up in a Windows 11 preview build this uses 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.060 various device sensors to tell whether you're present at your PC both 00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:18.800 physically and perhaps mentally frankly I'd love my PC to sense when I'm getting 00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:25.440 distracted and do a little Riley are we present right now hmm 00:03:22.739 --> 00:03:29.459 and Western Digital no sooner got their my cloud service back up and running a 00:03:27.420 --> 00:03:34.500 week after being hacked then those same hackers demanded the company pay to 00:03:31.739 --> 00:03:38.580 reclaim 10 terabytes of stolen data I mean you don't send a ransom note right 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:43.019 after you steal the thing that'd be rude TechCrunch reporters spoke to one of the 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.920 hackers and were able to confirm that at least some of the stolen data was 00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:52.620 legitimate the hackers claimed to have personal info like email addresses phone 00:03:49.140 --> 00:03:54.599 numbers and more of both WD staff and 00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:59.040 customers if the company isn't willing to pay the minimum eight-figure Ransom 00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:05.760 the hackers say they'll start posting the data on the website of alphavi 00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:09.900 a hacking group that these hackers are not a part of but who they know to be 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:13.439 professional you can't just post things on like 00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:16.680 4chan I mean as an extortionist there are just some things you don't do now 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:20.760

suspected of leaking a trove of classified U.S 00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:14.220 government documents on a Discord server called 00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:16.380 Thug Shaker Central very cool according 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:20.880 to the Washington Post the suspect is a member of the Massachusetts Air National 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.300 Guard who ended up posting screenshots of the documents after growing 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.979 frustrated that the members of his military-themed Discord group were 00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:33.900 ignoring the text-based post that he had spent hours typing up it's working so 00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:36.960 hard markings and environmental clues in the photographed printouts helped 00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:41.580 investigators determine the man's identity but Discord has also said they 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.479 are cooperating with law enforcement so are you guys I'm trying to give you 00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:49.880 sensitive note please pay attention so remember Gamers 00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:54.780 don't make this guy's key mistake joining the Massachusetts Air National 00:05:52.199 --> 00:06:00.620 Guard NVIDIA has released some helpful statistics claiming that 83 percent of 00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:03.660 Gamers with RTX 40 series cards which is 00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:07.259 0.68 of all steam users according to 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:10.500 steam survey turn Ray tracing on with 79 00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:12.060 of the same group turning dlss on now 00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:16.979 there's two main questions this has brought up one if you flip on Ray 00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:22.740 tracing one time decide you don't want it and then flip it off does that count 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.259 the other question why are nearly 20 of 00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:30.840 these Gamers buying an RTX 40 series card and not using the RTX features 00:06:28.380 --> 00:06:36.180 what are did you put it in your mom's computer why did you do that chunky 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:40.440 three slot RTX 2080 TI graphics cards have been showing up dead in greater 00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:45.000 numbers due to sagging in their PCIe slots which causes bending and uneven 00:06:42.900 --> 00:06:49.919 thermal stress according to a video from German computer repair technician 00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:53.819 chrisfix specifically the solder points of memory chips nearest to the PCI 00:06:51.900 --> 00:06:57.840 socket are the most likely failure point so you might want to check in on that if 00:06:56.340 --> 00:07:02.940 you've got a big card in your rig because look we all love a top of the 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:07.560 line chunky boy but that chunk comes at a price hashtag chunk awareness hashtag 00:07:05.460 --> 00:07:10.919 save that chunk Twitter has announced a new feature where Twitter creators will 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:16.080 be able to offer paid subscriptions where followers can access exclusive 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:21.720 tweets and long form video and you might be thinking hey that just sounds like 00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:23.039 super follows but to that we say no it 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.240 isn't it's called something different now the company hopes to include 00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:32.160 newsletters and other Twitter features as potential bonus content later down 00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:36.240 the line of course Twitter already had a newsletter tool but it was shut down 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.860 three months ago in what is becoming just par for the course 00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:45.840 they had that feature and then and today 00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:50.220 the European Space Agency launched an unmanned spacecraft on a mission to 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:58.680 determine whether the icy oceans of Jupiter's largest Moon moons multiple 00:07:53.479 --> 00:08:01.259 Callisto Europa and Ganymede 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:05.880 it's not ganymedy whether they're able to support life not 00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:09.539 intelligent life just a dumb kind we're insulting them already some of you may 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:14.280 know that Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus while each of the moons is named 00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:20.099 after an ancient mythological hottie that Zeus consorted with fittingly the 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:25.620 initial launch was delayed due to risk of lightning if the orbits Rock 00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:30.240 the moons are busy how do you put a sock on a moon and we'll put a sock on the 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:34.620 channel until Monday because that's when you should come back for more a fresh 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:38.279 hot batcha Tech news that's the thing about news it's different every time 00:08:36.180 --> 00:08:41.279 we're gonna figure out how to put a sock on the channel we haven't figured that 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:44.599 out yet also you can still watch the videos of the weekend I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
