line well this week a story broke on Brazilian site technoblog that consumer

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:49.739
protection regulator Pro con DF seized hundreds of iPhones from Brazilian

00:00:47.579 --> 00:00:55.860
stores on November 11th as part of operation discharge the coolest name for

00:00:53.879 --> 00:01:00.059
the least intimidating Mission while the original complaint was for the iPhone 12

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.440
Pro con DF took any models that didn't have the adapter including new iPhone

00:01:01.739 --> 00:01:08.820
14s and older iPhone 11s which have excluded the charger since the launch of

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:13.080
the 12th three days after the seizure Apple filed a legal request to sell

00:01:10.979 --> 00:01:18.000
iPhones in Brazil until the government makes a final decision they had actually

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:25.020
already filed one earlier but it was in Spanish fun fact it's Portuguese yeah

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:28.860
important not just Portuguese Brazilian Portuguese get it right meta that

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:33.659
company we all trust with our lives non-consensually has had a big week

00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:38.220
three days ago The Verge and the markup co-published articles revealing that

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:41.700
multiple major tax filing Services have been secretly transmitting users

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:46.079
sensitive financial information to Facebook we're talking adjusted gross

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:50.700
income names email addresses refund amounts and more Google has been

00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:54.960
receiving similar information from Tax Act but without name so all they really

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.860
have is the incredibly sensitive Financial details of millions of people

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

00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:05.579
so that's why pro tip don't fill your taxes out

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

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.940
the same day this story broke Metta published a report detailing three

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:17.819
deceptive propaganda networks they removed from their platforms earlier

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:23.700
this year which were linked to individuals associated with China Russia

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:25.440
and the U.S military not only were they

00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:30.660
caught by your mom's favorite website apparently the U.S run fake accounts got

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:36.739
little to no engagement from real users I guess the only one of your relatives

00:02:32.459 --> 00:02:39.900
that isn't on Facebook is Uncle Sam

00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:42.540
yeah and some hopeful news in the AI

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:47.459
World stable diffusion the open source AI image generator has been updated to

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:52.500
version 2 and it's been discovered that it's now harder to generate not safer

00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:56.819
work content and images that resemble the work of specific artists not news

00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:01.800
for OSHA violation needless to say the internet is thrilled

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.819
I imagine their comments will become extra caustic without AI generated porn

00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:09.739
I mean you can say way meaner things when you type with both hands so but

00:03:07.739 --> 00:03:14.819
this is especially good news for Greg rutkovsky his name is often used as a

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:19.319
prompt in AI generated art and now his name doesn't seem to have the same

00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:21.480
effect it used to but in a good way

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

00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:30.239
leaked internal document has revealed that Amazon has plans to replace some of

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:35.700
its recruitment needs with an AI it first tested last year because unlike

00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:38.580
humans there are no examples of AI being

00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:43.200
biased or unfair and discriminatory man imagine recruiting the people that have

00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:47.580
been made your job obsolete confront the problem I went ahead and

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

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:57.840
the chief bit has announced that the subscription he's now calling verified

00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:02.879
will tentatively launch on Friday next week with gold checks for businesses

00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:07.260
gray checks for government and blue for individuals he also decided to grant

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:11.819
amnesty to suspended accounts after another one of his perfectly Democratic

00:04:09.299 --> 00:04:16.139
polls hopefully the amnesty extends to Chad loader the security expert who was

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:21.660
suspended yesterday after tweeting about the scope of the massive Twitter breach

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:22.919
from last year hmm maybe suspending his

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:27.660
account was a condition of getting Signal app founder Moxie Marlin spikes

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:31.800
help on encrypting DMS you can't have two guys with cool names on one social

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:37.080
platform Moxie didn't want his record to be broken for what coolest name Texas

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:41.460
Company Real Page who made headlines recently for using an algorithm to

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:46.139
automatically raise rent prices is now facing an investigation from the U.S

00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:49.620
Department of Justice or Dodge the investigation will determine if the

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:53.759
company's Tech is facilitating collusion among landlords the people you pretend

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

00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.220
do they go

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:06.600
let the gravity of the situation really hit you researchers have developed a

00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:11.040
smart bandage that uses electrical stimulation to limit bacterial infection

00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:16.500
and repair damaged tissue the smart bandage can heal serious wounds 25

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:18.479
faster than a regular stupid bandage and

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

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:27.000
received when Kyle Adams pants to me in front of the entire 12th grade it was

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

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:36.539
announced that we'll be releasing an audio drama adaptation of Splinter Cell

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.259

00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:49.680
immersion finally you'll be able to experience the franchise from the

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.460
village perspective you never see Sam Fisher but you want to see us on Monday

00:05:51.780 --> 00:05:59.100
when we deliver you more Tech news Michael Ironside won't be there but

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

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:07.880
