00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,040
news Tech news Google has agreed to pay

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,480
$700 million in Damages to us consumers

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,600
as part of a settlement with every state attorney's General everyone over the

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:24,199
search Giants alleged anti-competitive Play Store rules I say alleged because

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:28,439
Google has admitted to no wrongdoing as part of the settlement of course classic

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,320
700 million is less than what the Play Store makes in a month and of course

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:36,280
Google Play users make up a not insignificant percentage of the US

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,559
population thus the settlement only guarantees a minimum payout of $2 per

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:47,160
user with more going to higher spending users but hey that's just enough money

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,840
to buy Super Meat Boy forever twice

12
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,600
didn't think about that two forever Google has also agreed to simplify side

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:58,440
loading for at least the next 5 years and allow Android phone oems to

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:02,719
pre-install more apps on new phones for at least 7 years yay more Facebook apps

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,840
you can't uninstall that's raised some concerns that phone manufacturers might

16
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:10,600
pack devices with bloatware even more than they currently do in addition

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:15,119
Google's user Choice Billing System which was in the pilot phase will be

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,840
expanding so more developers can avoid paying the Play Store's default 30% cut

19
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:26,200
they'll now have the option to pay a much cheaper Google service fee of only

20
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,400
26% it's not so much better as it is

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,479
slightly less worse not a very good discount but it would be a rich

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:38,320
milk it seems that messaging service beeper is struggling to find a permanent

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,200
fix for its Android-based iMessage app beeper mini after a few weeks of Apple

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,119
whacka Ming the loopholes it was using before beeper's new apparently temporary

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,680
solution requires users to have access to a Max unique registration data the

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,960
update allows users to share that data with others but there's still a finite

27
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,840
number of Macs and a finite number of people willing to share that data just

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
so you can send fancy blue bubbles from your Nokia the cool kids will definitely

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,840
stop sworting you now one advantage of beeper's new method is that the Mac

30
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,480
associated with the registration data has no access to the user's account or

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,920
messages another Advantage is that the server Farm method used by other

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,440
bridging services and by Bieber themselves before Bieber mini

33
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:27,400
potentially creates an anomalous number of users all supposedly using one single

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:33,040
computer which is exactly the kind of thing that draws the eye of Sauron and

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:37,360
by SA r i mean Tim Cook you cannot hide

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,680
I see you there is no life in the void

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,959
only death AI is undoubtedly coming for

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:48,519
everyone's jobs but deoe one of the world's largest consulting firms wants

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,640
to use AI to reduce the need for layoffs

40
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:53,879
deoe hired 130,000 additional staff this

41
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:57,760
year but found at the same time that thousands of their employees were at

42
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:01,800
risk of redundancy due to reduced demand for certain Services rather than go

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:06,599
through through large swings of hirings and layoffs the entire tech industry the

44
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:12,400
past year and a half or two years something deoe is using AI to assess

45
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:17,560
existing employees skills then creating a plan to shift them into higher demand

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,920
roles and strangely that's not the only

47
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,640
positive AI news today weo has announced that a statistical analysis of over 7.1

48
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:30,239
million miles driven by its driverless cars has found an 85% reduction in

49
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:32,439
crashes resulting in injuries and a 57 %

50
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:35,200
reduction in crashes reported by police compared to human benchmarks that's cuz

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,400
AIS don't N I feel like they'll n even more

52
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,040
stitches get stitches is that

53
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,640
AI though anyone interpreting that data needs to account for the fact that wayo

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,319
only operates within a Geo fenced area in three US cities and that Robo taxis

55
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,560
are far more likely to report minor accidents than humans many of whom just

56
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,959
silently prey that nobody saw them back into that dumpster but just in case you

57
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:07,319
thought your job was safe again an AI has also used its Little Robot fingers

58
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:11,680
to beat humans at a rotating wooden Maze Game an unusual case of an AI surpassing

59
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,120
people at a task that is both intellectual and physical so if that's

60
00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:19,840
your job doing the little maze game yeah I'm the wooden maze man you're in

61
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:23,360
trouble let's close out this story with one of the funnier Reflections on our

62
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,639
changing relationship to technology YouTuber J schlatt posted recent video

63
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:33,440
about the growing subgenre of AI covers inexplicably featuring his voice and

64
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,560
distinctive New York accent to which he responded by releasing his own actually

65
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:44,320
kind of amazing cover of Frank Sinatra My Way I Did It

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:52,080
My Way quote you for trying to replace me

67
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,960

75
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,199
the smallest possible unit of matter for decades when actually it's the quick bit

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,639
but you know so it's okay Telecom giant

77
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:39,039
Comcast says that thanks to the widely exploited Network Hardware vulnerability

78
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,759
known as Citrix bleed 36 million of

79
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:45,520
their exfinity customers have had personal data like names contact info

80
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,560
answers to security questions and the last four digits of social security

81
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:51,919
numbers stolen by hackers you know hey

82
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,720
it's a tough world out there you know nothing Comcast could do except maybe

83
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,520
apply the patch that Citrix provided for them on October 10th instead of waiting

84
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:06,680
a week to get get started what they were busy the internet pipes don't clean

85
00:06:04,039 --> 00:06:13,880
themselves Comcast CEO is in there going to wiping them manually there's a lot of

86
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:17,120
Gunk Intel thinks it's still on track to

87
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,599
launch its next gen battl Mage gpus in

88
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,240
2024 according to a road map shared by the company's Japanese Branch if that

89
00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:28,160
launch goes the way that the first Arc GPU launch went this means that just

90
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,800
before Christmas 2024 you'll be able to go to the store and pick up your phone

91
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:37,240
to read a press releasee about it it's not because it's not it's not going to

92
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:40,680
be there Intel's Arc gaming cards have gotten way better thanks to driver

93
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:45,360
updates and by the time battle mage comes out team blue may have a dlss

94
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,479
frame generation competitor of its own if Intel sponsored research from the

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:53,280
University of California is any indication so get excited for Intel's

96
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:58,759
new gpus or at least nice pictures of them to launch next year or at some

97
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:04,080
other time mercedesbenz wants to use turquoise tail lights to communicate

98
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,160
when a car is driving itself only Nevada

99
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,240
and California have approved testing of the light color but that's mainly

100
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,400
because they're the only two states where the automaker's conditionally

101
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:18,000
autonomous self-driving technology is legal frankly I'm in favor of the choice

102
00:07:16,039 --> 00:07:23,440
I I can't think of a more soothing color to see before your legs are taken out by

103
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:25,599
a Rog AI oh that's so beautiful you can

104
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,000
always get a job in the metaverse cuz they got no

105
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,400
legs the virtual reality ship keeps

106
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:38,199
sinking even though Zuck keeps plugging the holes with billions of dollars it's

107
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:44,080
not watertight industry research firm cirana says sales of VR and AR devices

108
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:48,960
declined by 40% this year even though Mark Zuckerberg specifically asked Santa

109
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:53,159
for the metaverse this Christmas he even added tongue tracking to the quest Pro

110
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,440
to better appeal to his fellow reptiles but it turns out most bearded dragons

111
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,759
can't afford a $1,000 headset someone needs to do something and the EU is

112
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:04,800
adding three adult sites PornHub strip

113
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:08,240
chat and x videos I haven't even heard of the F the middle one strip chat is

114
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:12,319
just about chicken strips just a bunch of boys getting together disgu the best

115
00:08:10,039 --> 00:08:17,280
tendies the EU is adding them to their list of very large online platforms or

116
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:21,360
vlops these sites are now in the strictest regulatory classification

117
00:08:19,159 --> 00:08:26,039
under its Digital Services act alongside Heavy Hitters like Amazon meta Tik Tok

118
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:30,400
Twitter and Wikipedia this decision will likely lead to user age verification

119
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:34,839
Gates on all three sites but it also provokes an interesting semantic

120
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:39,640
discussion is Pornhub in some sense a social media site can you be a PornHub

121
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,880
influencer you can add other users as friends on there you also probably

122
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,839
shouldn't unless it's the guy who does calculus yeah he's having a great time

123
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:52,399
but you should come back on Friday for more Tech news I

124
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:58,279
promise it won't get weird it's not not like it it'll be fine you please
