00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:10.599
ah I have so much Tech news to give you but I don't know if you're ready some of

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:14.000
it may unsettle you cause you some

00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:17.400
discomfort might make you feel a little

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.240
bit woozy Intel is reportedly working to

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:26.320
finalize commitments from NVIDIA to have Team Blue's Foundry division manufacture

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.279
team Green's gaming gpus an eerily

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.520
perfect setup for the tech industry version of the Red Wedding from Game of

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.920
Thrones and team red isn't even involved in tell no get out of there the news

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.800
comes from industry analyst Timothy aruri who wrote in a note to investors

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:47.520
that securing Foundry customers like NVIDIA or less likely broadcom is a

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.559
major goal of the company's new CEO lip boan even if NVIDIA doesn't love the

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:57.840
idea of having their chips made by a competitor in the gaming GPU Market to

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:02.680
be extremely charitable towards Intel the deal could make sense if only to

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.960
avoid the tariffs US president Trump may still place on chips made by NVIDIA's

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:13.159
existing partner tsmc and who knows maybe Intel could help NVIDIA stock more

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:19.840
than like four graphics cards at each retailer scalping and supply issues are

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:22.600
part of why AMD sold 10 times more RX

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:27.520
970 XTS in the first week than its predecessors or at least that's what CEO

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.119
Dr Lisa Sue said in an interview with ASUS China I got to say I didn't did not

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:36.520
have Radeon graphics cards are dominating the market so NVIDIA and

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:41.880
Intel have to team up to take them down on my 2025 bingo card because I don't

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:46.640
have a bingo card at all that's gambling lots of notable AI developments this

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.840
week with the arrival of new Gemini 2.5

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.000
thinking models from Google deep mind that the company says are Mighty

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:56.840
powerful by which they mean they're just slightly better on some common

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:02.240
benchmarks but a new Benchmark could show that all the AI suck hold on that's

00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:07.520
for the end of the story open AI finally rolled out native image generation for

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:10.039
chat gbt's 40 model meaning it no longer

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:14.920
needs to use do for that the update has made chat gbt shockingly good at

00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:18.000
reproducing text in generated images while maintaining the consistency of

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:21.959
characters and environments through multiple iterations it's a feature that

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:27.440
open AI has apparently been holding on to since 40 was en veiled nearly a year

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:33.040
ago I guess they decided to wait until 2 weeks after Google launched the same

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.000
thing in Gemini bom gotcha notably guard

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:40.200
rails for these image generators have been loosened open AI System card for

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:45.560
GPT 40 says they're not blocking the capability to generate public figures as

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:52.000
long as they're adults and public figures who wish for their depiction not

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.280
to be generated can opt out I didn't see

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:59.440
how uh in the document I guess Tred dming Sam guess what there's more NVIDIA

00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:04.120
is now rolling out Project G assist it's AI assistant that can run locally on

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.920
your GPU and is apparently named after the company's fake AI assistant from

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:15.440
their April Fool's joke in 2017 8 years from parody to reality is

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:20.080
this normal the real G assist won't play games for you but in addition to giving

00:03:17.799 --> 00:03:25.319
gaming tips it can actually control thirdparty accessories like wall lights

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.680
and even change some of your PC settings if you ask it to instead of just telling

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:35.560
you that you can open the set app than find an enable dark mode uh and how did

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:41.480
NVIDIA make a more useful AI assistant for Windows PCS than Microsoft meanwhile

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.080
chatbot service character. which is very

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:48.360
popular among teens as evidenced by all those uplifting articles about the

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:54.280
things it's done has announced a new parental insights feature which lets

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:56.480
users under 18 send a weekly activity

00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:03.200
report to their parent or Guardian if they want to uh

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.280
it's parental controls for the good kids that don't need them now in case you're

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:12.760
worried that AI is getting too smart too fast there's a new Benchmark Arc AGI 2

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:17.680
which requires fluid intelligence to complete novel tasks instead of testing

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:22.919
AIS on their ability to solve problems that are probably in their training data

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.000
somewhere and nearly every model is

00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:30.320
horrible at this new test so we should have some time left before we all feel

00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:35.000
the AGI in the form of robot bot feet on our neck right now we can feel the

00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:39.160
savings with our sponsor Micro Center and their monitor Madness event that's

00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:43.600
on right now with great deals on a wide range of monitors from this Acer Nitro

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:50.280
2K 180 HZ for just $199.99 to this Samsung Odyssey cuti

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:53.280
OLED super ultra wide that's $700 off

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:55.880
it's mad mad I tell you and Micro Center

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.160
is opening another store in Santa Clara California so you can shop deals like

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:04.919
that in person that's almost as mad as giving people who sign up at the link

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:07.240
below a free 128 gig flash drive in

00:05:04.919 --> 00:05:11.800
store when it opens this year what they're doing that as if that wasn't

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:15.880
enough Microcenter is also running a GPU tradein program so you can bring in your

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.280
GPU purchased at Microcenter and receive an offer that very same day or if you

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.560
just want to recycle your old Tech or donate it to someone in need Microcenter

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:27.840
can help with that too they even got Tech news articles tutorials and buying

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:32.360
guides on their blog they're like a Swiss army knife over here shop Micro

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:38.919
Center's monitor Madness event at the link in the description did that news

00:05:34.520 --> 00:05:40.880
disqui disturb or perturb you I'm sorry

00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:46.560
these quick bits should feel much better entering your ocular and auditory

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:51.280
orifices why did I say it like that ASRock

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:53.280
ASRock every time ASRock has published a

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.639
slightly confusing update after investigating issues experienced by some

00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:02.639
owners of the company's motherboards while ASRock acknowledged some some of

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:11.000
its BIOS versions caused boot issues with quote random 9,000 Series CPUs they

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.759
say their new BIOS 3.20 fixes that issue

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:18.599
and it's not related to the other issue that caused burn damage on the CPU

00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:22.360
socket uh they didn't exactly say what could have caused multiple users to

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:28.680
report burnt CPUs and pins on the motherboard but implied it was caused by

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.440
debris in the socket which they removed

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:36.319
uh leading to the system some passing long-term stress tests so there was just

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:38.280
some you know stuff unfortunately for

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:43.199
ASRock many are still calling for further investigation as there was

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:48.880
something in there in it is a less than satisfying answer what was it well I

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:51.199
some variety of Gunk some promising

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:56.160
Windows 11 features have popped up in a new preview build including a controller

00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:02.840
friendly keyboard and more importantly an improved Windows search where which

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:08.000
will only be available on co-pilot plus PCS because I guess Microsoft needed

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.520
Advanced neural networks to make search almost as useful as it was in Windows 7

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:17.160
Apple has once again been barred from participating in Google's upcoming

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:21.360
anti-rust hearing after an appeals court denied the tech Giants motion to testify

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:25.039
about how much it would suck for them to lose the $20 billion Google pays them

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:29.840
every year to be Safari's default search engine this is so sad they just want to

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.879
be together for the hearing and conduct Shady deals I ship them Canada has

00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:40.319
banned Tesla from receiving any federal electric vehicle rebates in the future

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:44.159
weeks after the company filed for $ 43.1

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.919
million in rebates claiming that four of

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:53.240
its Canadian stores had sold 8,653 vehicles in 3 days that would be

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:58.840
120 EVS per hour the sales all happened the weekend

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.000
before a previously announced pause in the EV rebates program so I can

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.159
understand why all those Canadians rush to get one before the deadline and a

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:12.440
company called gravitics has been awarded funding by the US space force to

00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:18.560
develop what is essentially an aircraft carrier in space awesomely referred to

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:23.759
as an orbital carrier the craft would actually hold maintain and release

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:28.280
satellites into orbit which would save on having to launch them from Earth

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:33.039
however the company didn't say they wouldn't also be used eventually for

00:08:30.919 --> 00:08:37.519
transporting squadrons of star Fighters so I'm considering that a feature that's

00:08:34.839 --> 00:08:42.719
coming later on also arriving later more Tech news on Friday specifically because

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:50.440
that's when Tech news happens next because that's when I make the tech news

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.440
happen I think that's how it works
