1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Wow. Tech is still making the news, is it?

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,360
>> Yeah, that's what this show is. >> I mean, I would have thought they'd have gone through it all by now. So, this

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,920
must be the last of it here. >> What are you doing? >> A gaming handheld with a folding screen

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:21,520
may be shown off by Lenovo at MWC Baralona next week. According to Windows

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:28,640
latest, who posted a bunch of apparently leaked images, the Legion Go Fold

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,480
Yourself has a 7.7 in display, already

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:36,079
bigger than the Steam Deck OLED, that can fold out to 11.6 in.

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:43,600
>> Okay. >> It also has detachable controllers that work in either mode and can attach to a

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,239
wireless keyboard and touchpad folio. What can't it do? I mean, game

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,199
comfortably. The right controller doubles as a vertical mouse and appears

11
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:58,000
to include a tiny round display showing a watch face in the same place where the

12
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:01,680
Legion Go 1 and 2 have a trackpad. Even more strange are its specs. It's

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:08,000
reportedly running an Intel Core Ultra 728V from 2024 rather than a newer

14
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,040
Panther Lake chip along with a 48watth battery and 32 gigs of RAM. Meaning that

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,640
by the time this thing hits storeshelves, it's going to be slow,

16
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,759
expensive, and have kind of crappy battery life. You can buy it as an investment that

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,360
>> and that's if it ever hits storeshelves. Windows latest says that the Legion Go

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,159
Fold will be introduced as a concept of a device, but Lenovo has actually

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,600
launched a few of their wackier concepts as real products in the past. In fact, I

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,280
showed a couple of them to Jimmy Fallon. I appreciate Lenovo letting this one

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,119
leak ahead of time. So, before I show it to Jimmy, I can get used to it and make

22
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:45,759
sure IT WILL DO WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. Anthropic has officially rejected an

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,880
ultimatum issued by the US Department of War demanding that Anthropic allow the

24
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:57,360
military to use their AI model cloud without guardrails or face being deemed

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,360
a supply chain risk. CEO Dario Amade

26
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,159
wrote in a blog post that he believes deeply in the importance of using AI to

27
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,759
defend the United States of America, but that in a narrow set of cases, AI can

28
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,840
undermine rather than defend democratic values. Amade published this post on

29
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,080
Thursday ahead of the deadline the Pentagon had set for anthropic to agree

30
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,920
to their terms. And despite under secretary of war Emil Michael coming in

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:28,239
hot with a very public crash out on Twitter calling Amday a liar with a god

32
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:32,800
complex who wants nothing more than to personally control the US military. Good

33
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,599
lord Amday stuck to his guns and late on Friday Trump ordered all US agencies to

34
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,760
stop using anthropics tech. Ultimately though, anthropic fighting to keep

35
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:45,760
guardrails on cloud is good because in the wrong hands, the model can be

36
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:49,599
dangerous. As proven on Wednesday when it was discovered that a hacker used it

37
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,400
to breach multiple Mexican government agencies, stealing 195 million taxpayer

38
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,800
records along with voter data and employee credentials. Oh, I see how it

39
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,560
is anthropic. You don't want to give unrestricted cloud to your nation's

40
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:09,280
protectors, but you will give it to Mexican hackers. >> Wow. Meanwhile, Meta's AI alignment

41
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,319
director, Summer U, had nearly her entire email inbox deleted by the

42
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:20,720
popular AI agent, OpenClaw, this week. If you haven't seen the hype around it,

43
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,959
OpenClaw, aka Moltbot, aka Clawbot, is

44
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,360
an AI personal assistant that can work independently and will interface with

45
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,120
users through common messaging apps like WhatsApp, performing tasks on their

46
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,680
behalf. You told it to go through her inbox and suggest what to archive or

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,280
delete, but not act without permission. The bot agreed and then immediately

48
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:44,239
forgot you's instructions and went rogue, deeming all emails older than

49
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:49,120
February 15th to be useless and therefore garbage, bulk deleting

50
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,360
hundreds of emails in seconds. When she told it to stop, it ignored her

51
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,120
instructions and she had to rush back to her computer and kill the process the

52
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,519
bot was running on in order to get it to stop. Some commenters speculated that

53
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,280
given you as one of Meta's top safety researchers, the whole incident must

54
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:09,920
have been a test that she was running to check the effectiveness of AI

55
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,920
guardrails. But you admitted that no, it

56
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,479
was in fact just a rookie mistake, saying that alignment researchers aren't

57
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,400
immune to misalignment, even if that immunity can be fairly easily achieved

58
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,840
by just not giving an infamously unreliable and insecure AI agent total

59
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,600
control of your email. [gasps] So AI safety might be in trouble over at Meta,

60
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,919
but hey, at least on Instagram, teen safety might be improving. Meta

61
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,680
announced parents using supervision mode for their kids accounts will be alerted

62
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,280
if their teen repeatedly runs searches involving terms related to self harm.

63
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,320
This is just rolling out though, so we can't say how effective it will be, but

64
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,720
we can say that you should check out our sponsor. Oh snap. Hey, I've been driving

65
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,639
my big rig uh cross country for 37 hours

66
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,680
straight. And let me tell you, a road warrior like me needs his phone propped

67
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,000
up on the dash. Okay, the snap grip stand is the ultimate multi-use phone

68
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:05,440
accessory. Okay, you got a grip mount stand, portrait or landscape, this

69
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,680
little thing does it all. Mag Safe compatible, no glue, no bulk. It's

70
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:16,160
thinner than your smartphone camera bump, so it ain't snagging on these jean

71
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:19,039
shorts or jorts if you're fancy. And as

72
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,600
my daughter says, it's pocketable AF. Hands-free YouTube on the dashboard.

73
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:28,240
Done. Doom scrolling at the truck stop. You betcha. Hey, it's magnetic, too.

74
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,720
Slap it on the fridge. Gym equipment, Mag Safe mounts, whatever you got that's

75
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,600
metal. Works with all Mags Safe cases, and they include a magnetic adapter for

76
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:42,880
everybody else. The design is minimal, functional, and thoughtful. Oh, snap.

77
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,000
You really do care. Check out all the new pocketable AF O Snap Snap Grip

78
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:53,120
stands using our link below and get $10 off for the pre-sale. Okay, I got some

79
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:57,039
stuff to do. Okay, that's got to be it. Surely

80
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,840
there's no more tech news out there. Wait, there's still some small pieces

81
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,520
that we can do quickly. >> You've done this before. I don't >> This is crazy. NVIDIA is rolling out a

82
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:11,199
new update for the Shield TV, surprisingly proving their commitment to

83
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,520
continued support for the now 10-year-old hardware. The new update,

84
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,840
version 9.2.4, focuses on stability and security

85
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,840
patches, ensuring that the last great set top box remains reliable. Unlike

86
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,160
newer devices, it thankfully still runs the classic Android TV interface rather

87
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,080
than the cluttered Google TV shenanigans that are seen on a lot of smart TVs

88
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,080
these days. What a breath of fresh air. Uh, hey, our inbox is open if any other

89
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,160
companies want to email us and explain why all of their devices get inified

90
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,319
when even one of the biggest contributors to our current AI dystopia

91
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:48,960
can manage to do this. But not all is green flags for team green. NVIDIA has

92
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:53,520
officially pulled their latest gaming GPU driver 595.59

93
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:58,800
after reports that it was causing critical fan issues across RTX 3040 and

94
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,720
50 series cards. So, if your GPU has been acting like a single fan fossil,

95
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,039
you might want to roll back to the previous stable driver 591.86.

96
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,960
We've got to make sure we protect the cards we have, especially since NVIDIA

97
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,520
CFO Colette Crest warned during the company's recent earnings call that

98
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,919
RTX50 supply will be very tight for at

99
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:25,120
least another 6 months. So, that means it'll be over in 6 months, right?

100
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:29,199
Right. Block, the company that owns Square and

101
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:34,400
Cash App, announced in a shareholder letter on Thursday that they're laying

102
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,880
off nearly half their staff in what CEO

103
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:43,039
and guy playing a bongo too loud in the park, Jack Dorsey, called a deliberate

104
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,199
and bold embrace of AI. You know, it's

105
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:49,840
really nice for CEOs these days that they can use AI to pretend that mass

106
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:54,160
layoffs is just them being ready for the future rather than them trying to boost

107
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,240
the perceived value of their company by lowering their expenses.

108
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,960
>> Just as good. >> But hey, uh I guess it worked. Block

109
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,199
shares soared 24% after the announcement. Hooray. Think of all the

110
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:10,080
bongos you can buy now, Jack. >> And that's how the economy works now. A

111
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,879
company called Techno is bringing modularity back at MWC this year with

112
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:20,240
the world's thinnest modular smartphone ecosystem concept. The Moda Edition

113
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,039
sports a Greek inspired aesthetic, while the Atom offers a white and red look

114
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:29,039
akin to Kratos from God of War. These devices use magnetic pins to swap

115
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:33,039
cameras, batteries, and game pads. It's kind of like Mag Safe, but on steroids,

116
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,959
finally giving us a way to lose our phone's camera and batteries

117
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,519
individually instead of all at once. You thought AirPods were a problem.

118
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:46,880
>> And Burger King is deploying Patty. Oh, lordy, I saw this. An AI system designed

119
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:50,959
to monitor employees and ensure that they are remembering their P's and Q's

120
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,640
when they interact with customers. Beyond policing manners, though, this

121
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,399
digital supervisor apparently has sensors of some kind to detect when

122
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:03,040
restrooms need a scrub. It's an ambitious and somewhat dystopian move

123
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:07,360
towards taking over all the jobs with AI. But, I mean, hey, maybe this was

124
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:12,080
inevitable. This concept was shown to us years ago in Spongebob with Plankton's

125
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:18,160
computer wife, Karen. Just this time, she's gone corporate. Straight to the

126
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,240
top, baby. And I expect you to come

127
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,600
straight back here on Monday to get more tech. More tech news? Are you kidding

128
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,680
me? There can't possibly be more tech news that How are we ever going to

129
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,440
finish it? >> What? We're there. It's not
