what the freak is up mother truckers there's so much crazy shoot happening in
Tech today you might just pee-pee yourself with excitement Heck if you're
wondering what that was all about YouTube has innovated yet another way to
make the platform worse for its creators a large number of creators in The Gaming
Community right now are upset with recent changes to the platform in
November YouTube updated their ad guidelines surrounding violence and
inappropriate language stating that standard gameplay where gory injuries
are present must occur after the first eight seconds of a video or it may be
demonetized you also can't use profanities within that oddly specific
time frame but hey hell and damn aren't
swear words anymore hell yeah man wouldn't it be weird if YouTube
specifically stated they were allowing for profanity in the first 30 seconds of
a video as recently as April 2021 oh they did YouTube's gonna be so upset
when they hear what YouTube said now YouTube has made policy changes like
this before but what makes this update particularly egregious is how quietly it
was rolled out no one really knew about it until their videos started getting
demonetized after reaching out to YouTube about a recent video that was
age restricted Daniel Condren of RT game
said multiple videos including at least one from 2020 and a private video from
11 years ago were subsequently Mass
flagged as well this stealth rollout has
become quite a bit of a trend since YouTube's experiments with upping the
number of ads on a video and locking 4K behind a premium subscription I mean
better ask for forgiveness than ask for permission but they didn't ask for
either of those an issue with the computer system caused
all U.S flights to be grounded because flights getting screwed up is a pretty
popular meme right now also they said a No-No word to their mom you can't come
out for two weeks earlier this morning the FAA announced their notice to air
missions which alerts Pilots of potential hazards along flight routes
suffered some kind of malfunction and ordered a pause on all domestic
departures until 9 A.M eastern time the White House stated officially on Twitter
that there was no evidence of a Cyber attack stop thinking about it the
computers that we depend on to make sure jet propelled tuna cans packed full of
people cans can continue to travel safely through the air they're just bad
computers they're bad sorry the flight tracker FlightAware
listed that over 17 000 flights were delayed which isn't
actually that strange based on the number of delayed flights from Sunday
man air travel sucks but if you look at the number of delays within into or out
of the United States today it uh it is almost twice as high as normal and the
number of cancellations is 10 times as high truly this is a terrible time for
air travel but a great time for airport liquor stores
USA let's bring and Microsoft is going cuckoo for Cocoa
Puffs the Coco Pops in this scenario is AI the company has developed a new
neural codec language model called Val e
that can mimic someone's Voice using only a three second sample of that
person talking like it always makes them sound like they're asking a question oh
it doesn't oh Valley that's very good
Valley can even preserve the speaker's emotional tone and simulate their
acoustic environment her face was against his breast we have
to reduce the number of plastic bags number 10. fresh Nellie's waiting on you
good night husband the demonstrations they've made public alternate between
sounding like a voice changer from a spy movie and bad video game voice acting but when
it works it very works the tech uses meta's n
codec audio compression Tech which compresses high quality audio to very
small sizes using AI apparently it's
this Tech that allows Microsoft to make text-to-speech synthesis that sound more
realistic with very short voice samples and that's really cool when you aren't
thinking of the terrifying ramifications the software giant has even more plans
for AI though According to some insiders Microsoft is planning on incorporating
open ai's GPT into some Windows
applications apparently they want to use the model to make Outlook search results
more accurate or you could just make your spam recognition better so actual
emails are easier to find

checked your butt what Windows 7 and 8.1
are officially on their own in the update lists wildlands both operating
systems stopped receiving security updates yesterday and in a few days they
won't even get updates to Microsoft Edge which I'm sure will affect many person
official support for Windows 7 ended three years ago but businesses could pay
for up to three years of additional support while they transitioned from 10

infrastructure to allow for gigabit broadband but only in England hey Scotland
Northern Ireland and Wales I guess Rishi sunak doesn't know you exist yet have
you tried being rich I hear that gets his attention never fails you flip your
kilt and it's just money underneath Mercedes is officially the first
automaker to offer level 3 self-driving in the U.S as Nevada has approved the
company's Drive pilot system level 3 self-driving in case you forgot means
the machine can pilot the car at speeds
of under 37 miles per hour and on suitably traffic dense motorways
motorways like what are we in Europe I had assume that owners would have to
battle their self-driving cars for control of the vehicle and that the level meant how much harder the fight
would be but this is an Alden ring it isn't cool I guess yet Yoshi p a
producer for the upcoming Final Fantasy 16. and also Yoshi's rap name the P
stands for producer doesn't understand why people think that a PC version of a
game will be coming out during a live stream you she claimed but nobody said
anything about a PC release that he didn't know why people thought one would
be coming out six months after the PS5 release he's completely right other than
the trailer that said the game would also be available on PC and the trailer
that said the game would be available on non-ps5 platforms six months after the
launch nothing has been said about a PC release six months after the game's
launch Yoshi doesn't know why you would think that what's wrong with people
that's why he's the big p and some mad lad decided to build a meme search
engine said lad going by I am mandatory
on Twitter I thought that said I am mad ladenatory but anyways uh took time out
of his busy schedule of teaching underprivileged youth how to skateboard
to build a tool that would allow people to search for those memes they only half
remember the system is looking for contributors to upload memes that are
missing so if you're looking to dedicate yourself to a Divine cause I think you
found it move over priesthood embrace the teachings of the memes and you
should embrace our teachings on Friday when we upload another episode from the
church of TechLinked our communion is computer chips it hurts your teeth
