00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.759
the day is finally here it's Microsoft's

00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:12.639
Apple silicon moment and it's just like I imagined a real hot mess reviews of

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:19.160
the new Qualcomm ARM-powered Snapdragon X Elite laptops are out and by laptops I

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:23.279
mean laptop there are more than a dozen models on the way but the only full

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:28.160
reviews right now are covering the ASUS VI book S15 and rather than kicking off

00:00:26.279 --> 00:00:33.480
the Windows on ARM Revolution with a bang I'm really hearing more of a

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:38.000
of a wet slap I mean like the Vivo book isn't bad notebook check noted that

00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:43.079
whether it's running ARM native apps or emulating x86 its performance in battery

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:47.399
life seem comparable to Intel AMD and apple notebooks but that's not really

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.800
what Qualcomm has been promising for the past 8 months we didn't want what we

00:00:50.199 --> 00:00:56.320
already had but with more x's in it except for Elon and that's like his

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.800
whole thing he's very happy right now there's good reason to stay on your toes

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:06.080
though this Vivo book features the least powerful of the four Snapdragon X Elite

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:11.000
variants the xie 78100 which can't even boost at all

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:16.920
although Windows Central notes that ASUS says this is a 45 watt version of this

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.479
chip that's 31% faster I don't know

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:23.640
what's going on and I'd like to speak to the manager not everyone was upset

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.400
though YouTuber Dave 2D was very excited

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.439
perhaps because he used gaming laptops for the battery life comparison but I'm

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:34.320
just a tech news guy how does he make the laptop float I don't know fittingly

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.960
gaming especially x86 games that must be emulated is exactly where the X Elite

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.840
struggles the most despite many promising early demos but the Vivo

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:48.920
book's not a gaming laptop it's a co-pilot plus PC so those fancy new AI

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.920
features like translated live captions are here although PC World notes that

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.719
some of them appear to require an internet connection uh thankfully recall

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:02.439
doesn't because it's been sent for a timeout to think about what it's done

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.960
along with the rest of the revieww units in the Snapdragon X lineup most of which

00:02:04.759 --> 00:02:11.599
are reportedly just now making their way into the media's hands it might be time

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:15.560
to look at another Contender for an apple silicon moment that's right I'm

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:19.959
talking about the new risk five main board for Frameworks laptops built by

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:25.760
Deep Computing and look there's another risk five modular laptop from a company

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:28.879
called sip cede

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:30.480
cped cped on me I have a feeling these

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.959
aren't going to be super userfriendly though so the next apple silicon moment

00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:39.480
might just come this fall when Apple unveils a MacBook Pro that got caught in

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.800
the big hydraulic press from the iPad ad Forbes has threatened legal action

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:49.720
against AI powered search company perplexity for engaging in what we used

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.159
to call plagiarism before 2023 according

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:58.800
to axios Forbes wrote a letter to perplexity CEO aravind serenas after the

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.080
startups new pages feature barely cited

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:06.440
Forbes while while lifting entire fragments and even an illustration from

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:11.120
an in-depth report on former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's effort to build swarms of

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:16.000
drones that won't form lewd shapes in the air instead of paying attention when

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.840
he speaks see that was inaccurate this

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.840
is why we need real reporters it also doesn't help that a

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.680
wired investigation found that perplexity service like all generative

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:31.360
AI has a debilitating addiction to making up or that the way Mr

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:35.920
serenas responded to complaints from Forbes journalists on Twitter was by

00:03:33.959 --> 00:03:39.840
thanking them for the feedback and promising to improve the feature which

00:03:37.799 --> 00:03:45.920
will take their jobs sifting through piles of emails is a job no one wants

00:03:42.519 --> 00:03:47.840
except our sponsor sanbox they want to

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:51.200
painstakingly sort your emails into appropriate folders and leave only the

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.799
important emails at the top of your inbox because it's not painstaking for

00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.159
them they like doing it they're weird I don't know why go through your emails

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:04.159
one by one hoping to find the diamond in the rough of newsletters you don't

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:08.879
remember signing up for when sanbox is right there pleading with you to turn

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:14.319
them loose and help you no matter what email client you use they just love

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:17.000
emails an average sanbox user saves more

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.880
than two hours a week and you can too by checking them out at try. sandbox.com

00:04:27.479 --> 00:04:35.639
you'd like some quick bits now that that is so you NVIDIA has overtaken Microsoft

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:40.039
to become the world's most valuable company this is terrific news for some

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:44.440
investors unfortunately that puts Microsoft in second place devastating

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.000
other more different investors why don't they just invest in both and they're

00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:52.240
always winning so stupid what are they thinking this is not Financial advis but

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.400
according to reports NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang thinks he can keep this plane

00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:01.360
climbing NVIDIA is apparently trying to pressure Partners like Dell HP and super

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.880
micro in into buying complete server rack designs from NVIDIA instead of

00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:10.400
building their own which would be cheaper this way NVIDIA could keep their

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:12.440
Crown it's like they say what goes up

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:18.600
could keep going up forever what are you a plane scientist former open aai Chief

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:22.680
scientist Ilia suver who got Sam ultman fired and then apologized and helped

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:26.759
bring him back has started a new AI company after leaving open AI earlier

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:32.639
this year it's called safe superintelligence Inc describing itself

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:34.520
as the world's first straight shot SSI

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.960
lab which sounds like a much better way to get to artificial super intelligence

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.800
don't bother with launching Scarlett Johansson chatbots for lonely Engineers

00:05:40.039 --> 00:05:47.080
just go straight to the end just build that one first now don't get it twisted

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.840
this is a real company they have a website there's a URL at the top okay

00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:56.639
these guys are geniuses their names are pronounceable in spatial Computing news

00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:02.120
Apple has apparently suspended work on the Vision Pro 2 to fully focus on

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:07.080
making something human beings can afford maybe meanwhile meta has laid off some

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.759
employees as they restructure reality Labs into two groups metaverse will

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:17.199
handle the quest line while wearables will make things like the Ray Ban meta

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.840
smart glasses and perhaps

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:25.080
pants just an idea call me Zucker meanwhile AR glasses company xreal

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:29.800
developed a phone that isn't a phone but a companion to their glasses I mean it

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:33.919
looks like a phone it runs Android based OS the the pictures indicate it connects

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:38.160
to a cellular network and the site literally calls it the only device you

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:43.639
need how is it not a phone explain it to me I'm so irrationally angry about this

00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:48.680
it's a Game Boy Google has suddenly updated the pixel 88a and 8 Pro with

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:53.919
official support for connecting to an external display through its USBC Port

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.479
reigniting some Enthusiast dreams of using their phone as a mobile desktop

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:03.160
computer some people think that would be kind of cool like why can't we do that

00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:08.240
pixel phones have actually had support for DisplayPort over USBC and a desktop

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:12.120
mode baked into Android for some time but you had to go digging in the

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:17.080
developer options to find it now anyone with a pixel 8 series phone can plug

00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:21.160
into a monitor and say cool before realizing they probably don't ever need

00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:26.879
to do that again and pixel 7 users can too right right and Japanese Tech Giant

00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:32.680
soft bank has announced it is working on emotion cancelling AI technology to make

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.680
Angry customers sound calmer when they call customer service Representatives

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.560
Japan like the rest of the world has a problem with customer harassment of

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:45.000
employees and that extends to call centers naturally the solution is to

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:51.159
cover up the issue and ignore it even worse the AI doesn't change the

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:53.520
words it just changes the tone so it's

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:57.000
not really fixing the abusive language it's just turning it into some sort of

00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:00.720
demeaning ASMR I'll tell you what would really be

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.120
demean meaning to me though if you didn't come back on Friday for more Tech

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:09.039
news so maybe don't do that and hang out with us your family
