Co oh 2024 wow we made
it that was close Apple has confirmed
that they got hoop dreams if by hoop you mean gaming platform and not just NBA
games I'm sorry here's the news in an interview with inverse Apple
Representatives explained that Apple silicon has changed the game for Apple I
didn't realize that was a pun when I wrote it but awesome with every M1 2 or
three powered Mac being able to play AAA games pretty fantastically even better
now that Apple's own impressive chips power iPhone iPad and Mac porting games
to work on all those platforms is simple and effective as demonstrated by
Resident Evil 4 launching on Mac and then recently on iPhone and running like
a dream the interview serves to confirm something that anyone who's seen their
past few conference Keynotes would have already surmised that apple is getting
serious about making the Mac platform a lot friendlier to gamers not only with
improved performance but also with support for more titles other than the
aformentioned game about immoral inhabitants the Mac also got multiple
Game of the Year award-winning RPG balers Gate 3
and uh lies of PE do people like that
one I honestly I'm hoping Apple gaming only gets better even if Apple only
wants more people to buy their MacBooks because you can't buy their watches
anymore ah JK you can buy the watches again go pick one up open AI was sued by
the New York Times last week for copyright infringement relating to chat
GPT and I haven't had a chance to talk about it because I was on vacation so
now I want to talk about it because it's the first major AI copyright lawsuit
pertaining to news content and it could actually have a big impact so can I just
talk about it for a second please thank you the New York Times lawsuit claims
that if provided with a URL and a bit of the beginning text from a Times article
chat GPT will reproduce the entire article nearly verbatim the time times
says this is evidence that open aai trained their models on nyt articles
without a license and they also call for the destruction of not only gpt3 and 4
but any llm trained on their content and
any citizen who harbored these
models now some have defended open AI by
pointing out that chat PT didn't memorize and then spit out these
articles it's just predicting the next word based on its training data which is
the whole internet it's not copyright infringement per se but even if that's
true the nyt's case is bolstered by the fact that some companies like apple are
pursuing deals to license content from news organizations to train their AI
models and in fact openai has already
made a number of such deals in even more fact the New York Times approached
openai to make a licensing deal but negotiations fell apart back in August
ah so that's the the reason for all this
hopefully this lawsuit can finally answer the question of whether chat GPT
is alive you know who's definitely not alive virtual influencers created by
marketing agencies using AI image generators and disdain for the ineffable
quality of the human soul the financial times spoke to the founders of Barcelona
based Ad Agency the clueless which is
just perfect they've been partnering hot
brands with clueless virtual hot girl influencers my Al Lima and itana Lopez
after being taken aback by the skyrocketing rates human influencers
charged these days what's a poor fashion
brand like H&M to do pay famous humans
and even greater multiple of the pennies they pay to the non-f famous humans who
make their clothes no the answer according to an analytics report from
Instagram is to create a campaign with famous people that don't even exist that
makes these campaigns 91% cheaper per impression because people that don't
exist don't need to be paid as much they still need a little though virtual

California you may be entitled to a portion of a 3 million doll payout as a
result of a now settled class action lawsuit brought against the TV company
for advertising its TV's 120 Herz and
240 HZ refresh rates which were in many
cases just 60 HZ plus motion smoothing a
feature known in the land of the Nerds as Geeks Bane the individual payouts
won't be enough to buy a new TV but it should do something to offset your labor
of changing the settings at your parents house again you did it last year it
keeps turning itself back on what Google may be planning to add maps driving mode
to its ever laring graveyard according to code strings discovered by 95 Google
because the only thing Google does better than building things is
destroying them like a toddler making a tower out of blocks it's going down as
soon as it's done 95 Google believes the strings in question indicate driving
mode will be deprecated in February of this year which is 2024 in case you
forgot more than a year after Google shut down the similar but different
Google Assistant driving mode which also followed the perishing of Android auto
for phone screens hey maybe just stop trying to make special maps driving
modes only to immediately kill them maybe just maybe just stop you're
already making another one okay hey want some fun science news a team at Michigan
State University have made progress in developing a living building material
that can self-heal clean pollution from
the air and only rarely absorb nearby
people to implant their eggs in pretty good intended for use with special 3D
printers the material is a microb ink of
sorts created from agricultural waste or the parts of plants that farmers can't
sell also a major ingredient in my grandma's signature stew which is why
I'm so strong when Mr Beast asked his exf followers which sounds like I'm
saying former followers which is why I'll keep saying Twitter until they make
me stop anyways when Jimmy asked his followers to go watch his new video on
YouTube Elon Musk agreed with a reply from a crypto guy telling senior Beast
to upload the vid on Twitter Beast Wars replied that this platform's
monetization wouldn't fund a fraction of the millions of dollars his videos cost
to make essentially telling the world's richest man he can't afford
him gotcha perhaps thinking Mr Beast was missing something crypto guy replied
post on both perfectly explaining why he's into crypto and a number of
creative Works have entered the public domain including Mickey Mouse but don't
get too excited the only version of Mickey that's now free to use is the
original character as depicted in the 1928 Steamboat Willie cartoon this is
already being taken advantage of by creators like cor or digital who
straight up re-uploaded Steamboat Willie cuz why the heck not but also by the
creators of just announced horror game infestation 888 featuring a creepy
zombified Mickey another entry in the same weird tradition that brought us the
groundbreaking film Winnie the Pooh blood and honey we're finally free to
use these characters to make things that are lame and bad but you'll never be
lame and bad in my eyes as long as you show up on Wednesday again for more Tech
news I'm just kidding I'll love you no matter where you are on Wednesday as
long as you're here on time
