over 2 million Freedom funds for trying to save the environment and their bottom

10
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:45,840
line well this week a story broke on Brazilian site technoblog that consumer

11
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:49,739
protection regulator Pro con DF seized hundreds of iPhones from Brazilian

12
00:00:47,579 --> 00:00:55,860
stores on November 11th as part of operation discharge the coolest name for

13
00:00:53,879 --> 00:01:00,059
the least intimidating Mission while the original complaint was for the iPhone 12

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Pro con DF took any models that didn't have the adapter including new iPhone

15
00:01:01,739 --> 00:01:08,820
14s and older iPhone 11s which have excluded the charger since the launch of

16
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:13,080
the 12th three days after the seizure Apple filed a legal request to sell

17
00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:18,000
iPhones in Brazil until the government makes a final decision they had actually

18
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:25,020
already filed one earlier but it was in Spanish fun fact it's Portuguese yeah

19
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:28,860
important not just Portuguese Brazilian Portuguese get it right meta that

20
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:33,659
company we all trust with our lives non-consensually has had a big week

21
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:38,220
three days ago The Verge and the markup co-published articles revealing that

22
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,700
multiple major tax filing Services have been secretly transmitting users

23
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:46,079
sensitive financial information to Facebook we're talking adjusted gross

24
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:50,700
income names email addresses refund amounts and more Google has been

25
00:01:48,659 --> 00:01:54,960
receiving similar information from Tax Act but without name so all they really

26
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,860
have is the incredibly sensitive Financial details of millions of people

27
00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:02,040
and that's not that bad if I don't think about it for more than a single second

28
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:05,579
so that's why pro tip don't fill your taxes out

29
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:11,280
just don't think and you'll be fine but Tech Giants taketh away and also giveth

30
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,940
the same day this story broke Metta published a report detailing three

31
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:17,819
deceptive propaganda networks they removed from their platforms earlier

32
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:23,700
this year which were linked to individuals associated with China Russia

33
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,440
and the U.S military not only were they

34
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:30,660
caught by your mom's favorite website apparently the U.S run fake accounts got

35
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:36,739
little to no engagement from real users I guess the only one of your relatives

36
00:02:32,459 --> 00:02:39,900
that isn't on Facebook is Uncle Sam

37
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:42,540
yeah and some hopeful news in the AI

38
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:47,459
World stable diffusion the open source AI image generator has been updated to

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,500
version 2 and it's been discovered that it's now harder to generate not safer

40
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:56,819
work content and images that resemble the work of specific artists not news

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,800
for OSHA violation needless to say the internet is thrilled

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,819
I imagine their comments will become extra caustic without AI generated porn

43
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:09,739
I mean you can say way meaner things when you type with both hands so but

44
00:03:07,739 --> 00:03:14,819
this is especially good news for Greg rutkovsky his name is often used as a

45
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:19,319
prompt in AI generated art and now his name doesn't seem to have the same

46
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:21,480
effect it used to but in a good way

47
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:25,260
however if you're a recruiter for Amazon I may have some bad news for you a

48
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:30,239
leaked internal document has revealed that Amazon has plans to replace some of

49
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:35,700
its recruitment needs with an AI it first tested last year because unlike

50
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:38,580
humans there are no examples of AI being

51
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:43,200
biased or unfair and discriminatory man imagine recruiting the people that have

52
00:03:40,379 --> 00:03:47,580
been made your job obsolete confront the problem I went ahead and

53
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:53,040
cut these stories up nice and small for you because you're so cute Elon Musk aka

54
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:57,840
the chief bit has announced that the subscription he's now calling verified

55
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:02,879
will tentatively launch on Friday next week with gold checks for businesses

56
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:07,260
gray checks for government and blue for individuals he also decided to grant

57
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,819
amnesty to suspended accounts after another one of his perfectly Democratic

58
00:04:09,299 --> 00:04:16,139
polls hopefully the amnesty extends to Chad loader the security expert who was

59
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:21,660
suspended yesterday after tweeting about the scope of the massive Twitter breach

60
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:22,919
from last year hmm maybe suspending his

61
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:27,660
account was a condition of getting Signal app founder Moxie Marlin spikes

62
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,800
help on encrypting DMS you can't have two guys with cool names on one social

63
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,080
platform Moxie didn't want his record to be broken for what coolest name Texas

64
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:41,460
Company Real Page who made headlines recently for using an algorithm to

65
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:46,139
automatically raise rent prices is now facing an investigation from the U.S

66
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,620
Department of Justice or Dodge the investigation will determine if the

67
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:53,759
company's Tech is facilitating collusion among landlords the people you pretend

68
00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:58,220
to be nice to so you can be overcharged for red but when the sync breaks where

69
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,220
do they go

70
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:06,600
let the gravity of the situation really hit you researchers have developed a

71
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:11,040
smart bandage that uses electrical stimulation to limit bacterial infection

72
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:16,500
and repair damaged tissue the smart bandage can heal serious wounds 25

73
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,479
faster than a regular stupid bandage and

74
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:22,560
it can even reduce scarring however one thing it can't do is repair the damage I

75
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:27,000
received when Kyle Adams pants to me in front of the entire 12th grade it was

76
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,840
last week I was a guest speaker I still want a bandage for it BBC Radio 4 has

77
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:36,539
announced that we'll be releasing an audio drama adaptation of Splinter Cell

immersion finally you'll be able to experience the franchise from the

81
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,460
village perspective you never see Sam Fisher but you want to see us on Monday

82
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:59,100
when we deliver you more Tech news Michael Ironside won't be there but

83
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,940
we'd be happy to have them we're not keeping them away or anything it's just

84
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:07,880
