00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.640
I was going to start you off with a joke about how this isn't the tech news it's

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:10.800
actually just the intro to the tech news but then I decided that would be a

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:12.920
little to meta speaking of which meta

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.080
connect 2024 was today and Mark Zuckerberg dropped some big news there

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:23.160
was the official reveal of the quest 3s basically a cheaper version of the quest

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:28.320
3 shipping on October 15th the 3 s's starting price is $200 less than the

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:32.960
three but with most of the same features a brief live demo showed off the 3 s's

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.520
pass through and judging by the bystander one seat over its ability to

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:43.399
make people nearby uncomfortable thanks Mark a crucial aspect of VR that's what

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.440
meta is about it's tradition in AI news

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:50.399
Mark revealed llama 3.2 the company's

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:52.800
first quote opensource multimodal model

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.359
uh open source here means you have to request access to it and also it isn't

00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:02.239
currently available in the EU it's that kind of Open Source meta's AI stud

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.680
studio will now let influencers create virtual speaking AI versions of

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:12.759
themselves something Zuck demonstrated by ignoring a real man to instead chat

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:17.560
with the man's AI clone this is what are we doing here guys just because Mark has

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:22.560
gotten an unfathomable Riz upgrade doesn't mean I have to be okay with this

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:28.280
it's creepy in meta smart glasses news multimodal video AI is being added to

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:32.560
the rayan meta smart glasses So Meta AI can give you realtime help even

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:38.079
referencing objects that you passed and are no longer in view finally Zuck

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:41.079
revealed the Prototype Orion holographic

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.960
AR glasses which create a similar effect

00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:47.920
to the quest 3's pass through but in a much smaller form factor because it's

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:53.560
not actually pass through you're just actually seeing the

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.520
World Imagine what if you could see but

00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:01.200
also it Su what if the real world but with ads the glasses can be controlled

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:06.119
with your voice hand and eye tracking or a wrist-based neural

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:11.080
interface because why not Zuck said all of this while wearing a shirt that read

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:15.040
Zuck or nothing in Latin some claim it's a reference to the phrase Caesar or

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.560
nothing but come on a billionaire who has all of our personal data comparing

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:25.640
himself to one of History's Greatest dictators that's it's a bit scary maybe

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:28.120
he just likes Nerf and dead languages CH

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:33.840
I don't get it Nerf do you get that Nerf or nothing chat gpt's advanced voice

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:39.440
mode is rolling out to all paid subscribers this week the advanced voice

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:41.800
feature uses GPT 4 o so it can now

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.239
detect emotion and if you're using your camera to prompt it with visuals it can

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:51.400
respond to non-verbal cues like body language but open aai also says they've

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.040
added custom instructions memory five new voices and improved accents you mean

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.840
like this one it's not even an apple story it can

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.080
also apparently say sorry in over 50

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:08.159
languages which will be handy after AI technology accidentally destroys human

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.159
civilization sorry everybody the roll out comes with one major caveat the

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:17.840
feature is not available in the EU and several closely related countries namely

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:22.159
Iceland lickstein Norway Switzerland and the UK while open AI didn't specify the

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:27.159
reason for this exception in their announcement the most likely answer is

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:32.599
the EU AI act which among other things restricts AI systems that are capable of

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:39.280
inferring the emotions of a natural person oh man AKA human being from

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:43.120
workplaces and schools the intent of the prohibition is to prevent invasive

00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:48.040
surveillance like an AI system that makes sure fast food workers look happy

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:53.319
or else but for now it appears to be blocking this relatively benign feature

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:58.760
from expanding to Europe in GPT adjacent news Microsoft apparently plans to fix

00:03:56.200 --> 00:04:03.599
that tricky AI hallucination problem with what else more AI the company has

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:09.720
released a preview of their new correction tool as part of their Azure

00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:12.480
AI content safety API correction is a

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:17.280
service that Flags AI generated text that might contain a factual error then

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:22.479
cross references it with a document known to be trustworthy in order to fact

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:27.240
check it like a natural person might one researcher o Keys says that this might

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.520
cause additional problems because the factchecking model itself may also

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.160
hallucinate and introduce errors and trying to eliminate hallucinations from

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:40.360
generative AI is like trying to eliminate hydrogen from water so let's

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:46.680
just keep using it I guess Marquez Brown Lee AKA MKBHD Tech reviewer YouTuber and

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:51.840
noted frisbee Enthusiast released his new panels app which offers access to a

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.400
curated collection of wallpapers for mobile devices these wallpapers are free

00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:00.320
at lower resolutions but can be downloaded at full resolution for a

00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:05.280
subscription of $12 monthly or $50 annually which comes out

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.440
to around four bucks a month the launch sparked immediate backlash some of which

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:13.880
was sort of Justified brownley acknowledged Community concerns about

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:19.720
the kinds of permissions the app was requesting which included usage data and

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.400
user location and promised to fix the issue embarrassingly though with a

00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:29.280
little digging it was discovered that all of the wallpapers in the app were

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:31.319
stored in a publicly accessible bucket

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:35.800
whoops yeah devs have come out and said that the app appears to be built from a

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.919
template or it's simply an old app that has been rebranded based on the fact

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:44.199
that the app's Twitter account is listed as joining the service in late 2021

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:48.479
Marquez has confirmed however that this is just because they bought that handle

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:52.319
on Twitter other complaints cuz yes there were more focused on the amount of

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.600
ads in the free version of the app and the price of the subscription and all

00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:01.360
that is totally fair however the wallpapers are real art by real human

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:06.440
artist artists and the app offers a 50/50 profit split which sounds great

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.919
Until you realize that's actually even worse than the iOS app store's 3070 cut

00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:15.080
with developers I don't know if that's comparable I'm not in the wallpaper app

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.720
market perhaps the weirdest thing to me personally though is the fact that a

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:25.440
high proportion of the artists on the app seem to be just current MKBHD

00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:31.360
employees the CEO of rabbit the company behind the R1 AI not a phone device

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:36.080
Jesse Lou even got a meme in he hasn't had a good Twitter post in the while

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:38.520
though in mkbhd's defense you don't

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:42.479
actually have to buy the app you can just ignore it and at least you didn't

00:06:40.599 --> 00:06:46.639
shove it into completely unnecessary custom hardware and charge 200 bucks for

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:53.759
it especially when it costs way less to shove your feet into our sponsor vessie

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:55.919
for clarity they make shoes uh like the

00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:00.680
Courtside classic a comfortable and versatile sneaker inspired by the '90s

00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:04.400
just the whole decade they're like a time machine for your feet but even

00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:08.639
better because like with all their shoes vessie claims the Courtside Classics are

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.879
waterproof whereas everyone knows that time machines do not do well in water

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.840
except for the hot tub one you can get ready for the rainy season and save 15%

00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:21.240
on your first purchase by checking out vessie at vessie teink y'all ready for

00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:27.000
the quick bits

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:29.520
no too bad content delivery Network

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:34.440
Cloud flare will now allow customers to block Bots used to scrape websites for

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:39.199
AI training with a single click this is part of a larger Suite of tools called

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.879
AI audit which also allows users to see which Bots are crawling their site and

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.840
gives them more information on where they're from and how they're being used

00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:51.319
users can also choose to only block certain Bots and will eventually be able

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:56.039
to sell access to their website like a little virtual toll booth for

00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:58.280
webcrawlers AI but I wanted pictures of

00:07:56.039 --> 00:08:03.360
Spider-Man get out of my office kasperski the Russian antivirus software

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:08.120
deemed a national security concern and banned by the US government started

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:13.560
deleting itself from American users PCS last week sounds expected except for the

00:08:11.479 --> 00:08:18.680
part where the app also automatically installed a different antivirus on the

00:08:15.919 --> 00:08:23.599
way out Ultra AV made by a company called Pango kasperski had told

00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:28.000
customers via email they'd be receiving cyber security protection from their

00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:32.000
trusted partner Ultra AV but they didn't mention the whole automat IC install

00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:35.320
thing which is kind of like coming home to find your key doesn't work and then

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:41.200
having the Rando who changed your locks let you in I I'm kaspers buddy yeah you

00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:46.200
got me don't worry we got you good news everyone we're going to Nuke an

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:50.880
asteroid scientists at the Sandia National Laboratory have been blasting

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:55.399
silica with bursts of x-rays powerful enough to vaporize Rock and they say

00:08:53.399 --> 00:09:00.440
that we could probably use nukes to deflect asteroids that are around 2 and

00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.880
1/2 mil across this this would work by

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:08.120
superheating one side causing material to vaporize and push the asteroid in the

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:11.120
opposite direction just giv A little nudge out of its Collision Course with

00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:15.040
Earth like it won't be enough to save us from

00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:19.000
bigger rocks like the one that killed the dinosaurs but it's a step up from

00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:23.760
shooting Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis into space and getting them to figure it

00:09:20.839 --> 00:09:29.519
out Twitter has released its 2024 transparency report the first one since

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.839
2021 despite the very public fight El

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:36.600
musk picked with Brazil's Supreme Court he seems to be more open to government

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:41.680
takeown requests behind closed doors the platform complied with 71% of the legal

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:46.959
requests it received this year compared to around 30% of requests in a typical

00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:52.360
year under previous management meanwhile X has changed its block feature so that

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:55.920
a user's public posts are now visible to people they've blocked but they just

00:09:54.160 --> 00:10:00.519
can't engage with them what you thought you should be able to completely block

00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:04.880
people you don't like that's a privilege x/ Twitter only affords to certain

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.800
special entities like the Turkish government and Panasonic is apparently

00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:16.240
repurposing an outdoor air conditioning system called silky fine Mist to create

00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:18.880
what I'd like to call wet Holograms I'll

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:24.360
explain the silky fine Mist in question is a spray of extremely small water

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:26.959
droplets around 6 to 10 microns in size

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:32.000
which quickly evaporate removing heat without making users feel damp well only

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:36.560
a name at some point however Panasonic realized that this Mist could also be

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:43.680
used as a transparent projector screen for extremely cool and cooling art

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:47.800
displays unfortunately the system is heavy bulky and prohibitively expensive

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:54.320
which is no good when you're trying to get a message out to a Jedi hermit hiding on tattooing we need to get more

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.480
efficient with this how that can't fit that in a Droid Panasonic you're my only

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:02.320
hope but you shouldn't hide from more Tech news come back on Friday for

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:09.320
another episode it won't be scary it'll be it'll be positive everything's fine

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:09.320
everything's fine out there so okay
