00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.399
Tech link is not legally liable for any feelings of breathless exhilaration or

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:09.280
dystopian horror experienced while viewing our show by watching this part

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.040
of the video you agree to that and everything else I say gotcha around 2500

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:18.840
pages of technical documents purportedly detailing the inner workings of Google

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:21.160
search has leaked online the documents

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:24.880
directly contradict years worth of public statements from Google about how

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.480
their algorithm Works including that rankings aren't determined by click

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.640
Centric user signals they are they don't consider subdomain separately from

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:38.360
domains they do and they don't consider the age of a domain or penalize new

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:42.160
sites they do again Google itself has not confirmed or denied whether the

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:46.320
documents are authentic possibly because the leak's Trove was allegedly acquired

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:50.640
when Google itself accidentally publish them to GitHub that's a Microsoft site

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:55.079
and they were saved by an external automated documentation service if true

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.840
the charitable read here is that Google was trying to off youate the way its

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:04.159
algorithm works from spammers and potential competitors the uncharitable

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:09.799
read is that Google is a lying liar Who Lies Beyond these kinds of direct let's

00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:14.520
say fibs marketing expert Rand fishkin says the documents reveal that Google

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:19.119
search prioritizes big powerful Brands over pretty much everyone else even when

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:23.040
small independent sites are more authoritative trustworthy and relevant

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.240
which is a bit like getting all your health advice from Mr Beast because he

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:31.600
has way more Twitter followers than your doctor he does that's Dr Beast to you

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:35.840
PayPal has announced that it is launching an ad Network that will Target

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.320
its 400 million users with personalized promotions based on the data the

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.479
companies's collected on their past purchases and spending habits and

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:48.000
honestly PayPal I don't need ads for more body pillows you should already

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.560
know that PayPal says that users will be able to opt out of their data being

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.439
included in the ad targeting which isn't quite the same as opting out of their

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.920
data being collected the only option PayPal appears to offer for controlling

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.920
what information they collect about you is deleting your account this would also

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.759
presumably affect users of venmo and browser extension honey which PayPal

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.280
controls the announcement follows a rough patch for PayPal including

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:14.160
significant layoffs tepid growth projections and an underwhelming stock

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:19.040
performance that being said this could also be an opportunistic bid to take

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:24.360
advantage of the doj's ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google's own ad business

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:28.680
who knows maybe in 20 years 30 Years it'll be PayPal writing absurd checks to

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:33.519
Regulators in a desperate attempt to make their legal problems go away open

00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.319
aai says that it has formed a new Safety Committee less than a month after it

00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:41.519
dissolved the old AI Safety Committee this new even safer committee will

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.440
apparently be led by CEO Sam Alman who obviously just has a ton of time on his

00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:50.400
hands and loves meetings as well as board chair Brett Taylor and fellow

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:52.920
board member Nicole Seligman Seligman

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.800
you decide according to open ai's blog post the first task of the Safety and

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:01.040
Security committee will be to evaluate open ai's current processes and

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.080
safeguards for 90 days after which they will report to the full board and

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.480
presumably recommend the creation of a third final safest Committee in a

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:14.480
fantastic case of awkward timing former open AI board member Helen toner has

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:18.799
spoken publicly on Sal maltman's firing and rehiring late last year according to

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:23.480
toner a major factor leading up to the surprise dismissal was a series of

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:28.120
serious Lies by Omission on the part of Altman including failing to disclose

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:32.480
ownership stake in the open AI startup fund and failing to notify the board

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.680
that chat GPT would be launching in November 2022 meaning that they found

00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:41.439
out about it at the same time as the rest of us on Twitter they probably wish

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:46.400
they found out sooner about our sponsor secret lab is your gaming chair

00:03:43.959 --> 00:03:50.760
uncomfortable and causing you pain get rid of that derrier Destroyer secret lab

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:54.959
Sleek ergonomic high quality chairs are built to withstand the rigers of gaming

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.920
or office work for long hours the Titan Evo 2022 is their most technologically

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:04.439
advanced chair with four-way lumbar support cold cure foam and swappable

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.959
armrest your butt deserves the best check out secret lab using the link

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:13.879
below much like hot dogs quick bits are made of all the less appetizing off cuts

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:18.560
of regular Tech news which would grind up into a delicious paste and extruded

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.680
redit to your waiting mouths sometimes they're wrapped in stomach skin Colorado

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.759
is the latest state to pass right to repair legislation for Consumer

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:30.560
Electronics with a bill that goes beyond requiring that companies provide

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:34.720
documentation software Ware data and repair tools to Consumers and

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.759
independent repair shops at a fair price the new law also limits Parts pairing

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.960
which other states have shied away from due to Industry push back this will

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:49.039
likely put even more pressure on Apple who have softened their position on used

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:52.320
parts in recent months like an uptight mom folding to the social pressure to

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:57.520
order pizza by pretending it was her idea but only plain cheese Microsoft has

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:02.680
announced a new partnership with Chinese Tech Giant 10cent that will let window

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:06.919
11 users install Android apps through the 10cent app store which will be

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.840
integrated with the Microsoft store Al be it only in China it's unclear whether

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:15.199
this new Arrangement involves the Windows subsystem for Android used by

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:19.000
Microsoft's Amazon app store partnership which the company suddenly killed a

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:24.080
couple months ago what is clear is that Microsoft is either scared of making a

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:26.919
deal with Google or they just don't know

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:31.000
about the Google Play Store New rumors have surfaced regarding NVIDIA's

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.000
purportedly upcoming ARM based processor not only is Team Green allegedly

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.919
partnering with mediatech to take on qualcomm's Windows on ARM offerings next

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.960
year but NVIDIA may be turning to Intel's foundaries for the Silicon it

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:47.360
may sound a bit weird for Intel to help usher in the end of the x86 architecture

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.400
that they developed in the first place but hey if someone's going to put an end

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:56.199
to your life's work it'd be nice to at least make a buck off its demise

00:05:54.440 --> 00:06:01.960
turnning into hot dogs the Japanese space agency jaxa has lost communication

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:07.319
with its Akatsuki spacecraft in orbit around Venus not Uranus losing contact

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:11.440
with Akatsuki is significant since it's currently the only active Mission at

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.080
Venus probably because the planet is a hell Escape in addition to newly

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:20.440
discovered volcanic activity Venus supports a surface temperature of 464 de

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:26.039
c a surface pressure 92 times higher than Earth's and it's covered in clouds

00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:28.440
of sulfuric acid the worst kind of acid

00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:32.240
yet we sent a probe there anyway proving that even the greatest sign ific minds

00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:37.560
of our time somehow can't tell when a woman wants to be left alone men

00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:43.280
Gigabyte has built a motherboard with a PCI slot that can support graphics cards

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.840
weighing up to a whopping 128 lbs which

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:49.479
would sound completely unnecessary even 5 years ago but it seems like recently

00:06:46.919 --> 00:06:57.360
the GPU industry has heavily selected for trunk bench life previewed the board

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:59.360
named the b650 aorus Pro X uh USB 4 and

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.720
while it has some other cool features I just couldn't concentrate on them after

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:07.080
imagining plugging in a graphics card the size of a dog maybe even three or

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.199
four dogs depending on how small your dog is it wouldn't even have to work I'd

00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.599
be happy and just looking at the proportions of the slot it would be a wiener dog you know what else would make

00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:21.639
me happy if you came back on Friday for more Tech news please I need this
