WEBVTT

00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.280
yes

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:11.639
ooh bam

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:15.200
sucker yeah AMD has finally properly

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:17.760
unveiled their new Radeon RX 970 and 970

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:22.199
XT graphics cards and honestly I'm glad they waited this long The Vibes were off

00:00:20.279 --> 00:00:26.519
at CES and going through NVIDIA's dumpster fire of an RTX 50 Series launch

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.840
in the meantime really makes you appreciate this launch more because the

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:36.200
RX 970 will start at

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.399
$550 with the 970 XT starting at600

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:43.960
although it's pretty apparent that even after a 2-month delay AMD was still

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:48.840
unsure about the Final prices their presentation stream has obvious audio

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:55.600
Replacements anytime they mention it by rdna 4 is able to deliver fantastic

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:58.840
performance for $150 less but that price

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:02.840
means that despite the 970 XT performing

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:05.920
about 2% worse than the RTX 570 TI with

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.920
Team Red's card you get 23% more

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.280
performance per dollar and there are

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:16.280
overclocked versions that perform much better which will be available for way

00:01:14.119 --> 00:01:21.520
more than 600 bucks but listen these aren't like NVIDIA's melty gpus okay

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:28.119
they'll all use standard 8 Pin power connectors although the sapphire 97 XT

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.439
Nitro plus has a 12vt 2x6 plug in the

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:34.759
back okay that one uh gets get its Freak on a little bit okay but the rest are

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:40.040
normal according to AMD's benchmarks and slides and whatnot their new FSR 4

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:46.360
upscaling Tech is way better and will work with more than 30 games at launch

00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.799
although it is exclusive to the new rdna

00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:51.680
4 based 90 series cards boo but there's

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:57.079
lots to be excited about here better encoding better rate tracing better AI

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:02.119
capabilities and both cards come with a healthy 16 GB of vram check out the LTT

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:06.680
video I guess for a more thorough breakdown and sit tight for proper

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:12.560
reviews before the 90 series actually launches next Thursday March 6th and

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:18.000
also maybe sit tight for an RX 9960 because as spotted by video cards

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:23.920
with a z AMD reps said during their Chinese launch event that card will be

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.200
coming in Q2 and I had Dennis confirm it

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:30.239
h do I trust him also there might be a higher-end XTX model we're getting

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:34.640
carried away here okay let's calm down open AI finally launched the heavily

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:40.480
teased GPT 4.5 but despite being their biggest

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:46.120
model ever the company described it as not a Frontier Model before removing

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:51.560
that from the official documentation AI people are kind of struggling to Gro

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:58.400
this release because in some math and science benchmarks GPT 4.5 does worse

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:02.000
than xi's grock 3 the new model doesn't

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.440
seem very good on paper but some users

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:10.120
are agreeing with Sam alman's claim that it's more emotionally

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.280
intelligent it's about The Vibes man in

00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.799
the race to build a hyper intelligent machine God right now we're at the stage

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.840
where we build a chatbot that's comfortable passing the duy upon the

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:26.480
left hand side okay but really Sam what gives why

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:29.519
the low numbers his answer straight up

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:31.400
we're out of GP use we uh we don't know

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:37.200
where they went and other AI companies are giving excuses too in a memo to

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.920
employees Google co-founder Sergey Brin

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:44.599
wrote that we could totally have artificial general intelligence or AGI

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:49.360
if you guys just worked 60 hours a week he called it The Sweet Spot of

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:55.200
productivity Brinn went on to say don't work more than 60 hours a week but also

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:59.879
make sure you don't work less or you could end up demoralizing your

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:05.280
co-workers and then we definitely won't make it to AGI a term that Google Deep

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:10.560
Mind boss Demis hassabis just admitted is becoming kind of a meaningless term

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:12.439
while still somehow remaining very

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.720
important I don't know there's just a Vibe about it Mozilla has once again

00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:21.759
changed language in their terms of service that really makes it sound like

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:27.440
the company owns and will sell the personal data of Firefox users why would

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.680
anyone think that when all they did was delete an explicit promise to never sell

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:36.479
sell users personal data you know what I see it now this

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.639
isn't the first time that language in mozilla's documentation has caused

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.199
concern but as in previous instances it

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:49.800
seems like Mozilla might just be really bad at doing words good in responses on

00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:55.120
forums and to news outlets the company has tried to clarify that they don't own

00:04:52.560 --> 00:05:00.840
Firefox user data they aren't selling personally identifiable information and

00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:03.199
the non-exclusive royaltyfree worldwide

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:09.080
license to information gathered through Firefox is necessary for basic

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:14.400
functionality but many users remain skeptical somewhat justifiably given all

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.319
that language why does this keep happening why is it so hard to

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.280
understand what's really going on and that's where our sponsor ground news

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.919
comes in look the media landscape is pretty wild right now but ground news

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:32.240
wants to help you break free from toxic algorithms and understand just what the

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:36.240
heck is actually going on out there they collect and compare articles covering

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:41.039
the same story from around the world breaking down the political leanings and

00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:45.680
ownership of each news source so you can understand why they may report the way

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:50.080
they do and find out what they or you may be missing take the recent story

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.960
about the UK basically forcing Apple to drop their best encryption feature

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:58.240
normally right leaning sources only account for about 15% of tech news

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.120
coverage but for this story that jumped up to 40% which makes sense when you

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:08.319
look at the bias comparison and see that the left and right broadly agree that

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:14.160
this isn't great for user privacy and safety see it is possible often stories

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.000
may only have coverage from one side of the political Spectrum but with ground

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:23.240
news blind spot feature you can learn about Stories the algorithm might not be

00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:28.160
showing you so get the transparency and understanding you deserve from the news

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.120
and save 40% on ground news Vantage plan

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:35.440
by using our Link in the description oh you already thought it was good and

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:42.240
then quick bits threw the hoop for the buzzer beater overtime

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.440
snack yeah Instagram res users were

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:50.199
surprised this week when many of their feeds turned into a NeverEnding scroll

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.520
through gruesome videos of violence and

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:57.520
dead bodies after enough people were traumatized meta revealed that this

00:06:54.599 --> 00:07:03.199
wasn't a fun takeover collab with forchan but an error for which the tech

00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:08.800
giant apologized in a statement given to 404 media and other outlets

00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:13.360
oopsies hope your kid didn't grab your phone that day what the Microsoft has

00:07:12.039 --> 00:07:22.199
announced they're shutting down venerable video calling app Skype for

00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:24.039
good oh well anyway meta oh they're back

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:29.120
uh they've shown off a second gen prototype of their ARA smart glasses

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:34.879
which could lead to nextg meta Ray bands with state-of-the-art sensors including

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.440
six degrees of freedom slam cameras I

00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:42.160
don't know what those are I just knew I wanted to say slam cameras at some point

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.759
today but meta could face competition

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:49.199
from an AI company called Sesame who's creating their own smart glasses to host

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:53.599
their own voice assistant which is currently blowing journalists Minds with

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:59.520
how natural it sounds and how much it wants to hear more about what they

00:07:56.039 --> 00:08:02.080
think easily pleased this week Warner

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:06.240
brothers shut down monolith Productions the studio behind the Shadow of Mordor

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:11.560
franchise which was loved for its Nemesis system that generated unique orc

00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:16.280
villains that actually remembered how you freaking embarrassed them in front

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:21.199
of their orc buddies multiple times but rather than let other Studios use that

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:27.400
system WB just locked it behind a patent until 2036 for the sake of contrast EA

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:31.879
just released the source code for four classic Command and Conquer games

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:37.959
because you know they're insecure and need to hear Praise you're not tricking

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.000
me and someone has invented tasto Vision

00:08:37.959 --> 00:08:45.399
yet again a team of international researchers published a study showing

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:48.760
their prototype device called what else

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:51.480
easte it could could successfully

00:08:48.760 --> 00:08:55.560
reproduce complex flavor combinations by dispatching gels through an

00:08:53.279 --> 00:09:01.680
electromagnetic pump this could allow you to try menu items before you order

00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:05.399
or taste the ocean salt off of Mario's

00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:07.920
torso ah what ah I'm ah I'm I'm sorry

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:11.959
that image just never left my brain why did Nintendo do that look just come back

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:16.440
on Monday for more Tech news and let's just forget I ever said anything okay

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:20.519
any of it as far as anyone else is concerned we just both stood here and

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:20.519
made facial

00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:25.399
expressions there are some really good ones
