00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.040
at Google's launch event for their new pixel devices yesterday the company had

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.320
the courage to do a live AI demo after

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.960
using pre-baked videos at the last one causing this poor guy to probably want

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.760
to demo whoever made him stand up there praying for help from the demo Spirits

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.359
we'll get back to him for now look it's the new pixel phones there's the pixel 9

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:28.480
for 800 bucks 100 more than the pixel 8

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:30.880
the pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL they split

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:36.800
it into two sizes for 1,100 bucks respectively and the pixel 9

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.960
Pro fold for $1,800 they've all got this flat-sided

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:47.239
design whose turn it is to be the premium look but they do also have

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:51.640
notable upgrades 12 and 16 gig memory configurations underd display ultrasonic

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:57.879
fingerprint readers that are 50% faster than the pixel 8s not on the fold though

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.800
satellite SOS and the brand new tensor

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:06.439
G4 chip which is reported barely an upgrade over the G3 and still well

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:09.040
behind Qualcomm and Apple's phone chips

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:15.280
oh man look at that big old camera bump though epic there's lots of new AI stuff

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:20.479
but first the new pixel watch 3 has bigger and brighter displays 24-hour

00:01:17.759 --> 00:01:25.439
always on display battery life and 36 hours on battery saver and New Pulse

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:29.280
detection that calls Emergency Services when it can't find your pulse so make

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.040
sure it's got good contact with your wrist or you'll constantly be swatting

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:39.720
yourself that's what they said to save people right I don't feel so good call

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:42.799
the SWAT team then there's the pixelbuds

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:45.640
Pro 2 smaller lighter with better noise

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:53.680
cancelling thanks to a new tensor A1 chip that runs 90 times faster than the

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:57.039
speed of sound that's Mac 90 is it

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.479
actually running like a like a man now

00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:05.439
of course the phones have ai in them Magic editor lets you reimagine parts of

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:10.000
the photo with text prompts and the add me feature removes the need to ask a

00:02:08.119 --> 00:02:14.040
disgusting fleshy stranger to take a photo of you and your friends in

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:18.319
honestly one of the most useful Phone features I've seen in a while ah what

00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:23.680
else did they put AI into ah the new pixel weather app it can adapt to show

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:30.120
you what you prefer to see when you first open your weather app

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.640
which probably the weather

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:37.879
call notes will transcribe and summarize a phone call if you tell it to pixel

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.599
studio is an AI image generator app and

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:44.400
pixel screenshots seemed at first to be just an app to look at only your

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.440
screenshots which was weird but then I was like oh you choose to screenshot

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.959
stuff you want to remember and then the AI can help bring it up when you need it

00:02:51.959 --> 00:03:00.040
it's like Windows recall except not stupid Google's also upgrading Gemini

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.280
adding the chat gbt voice mode es Gemini

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:07.519
live and promising that it will actually be a useful assistant for real this time

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:13.239
working securely with your data across apps unfortunately this is where they

00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:17.440
had that live demo goof and gives me the information I'm looking

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:21.879
for oh looks like we had a little demo issue let me try one more time but they

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:29.200
eventually got it working to the extreme joy of someone in the audience there we

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.200
go all right

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:39.360
thank you demo spirits who are you cheering for the demo Spirits reviews of

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:43.400
AMD's ryzen 9000 Flagship processors the

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.519
950x and 9900x are live and while the

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:50.159
chips are indeed more powerful than the ryen 5 and 7 models launched last week

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:56.760
they haven't really done anything to wash a distinct Taste of me from PC

00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:59.200
Enthusiast mouths it's salty but it's

00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:03.599
also bitter Best of Both Worlds while the chips are definitely better in

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:07.439
professional apps that use AVX 512 instructions their comparative

00:04:05.239 --> 00:04:15.480
performance in other use cases like gaming is just okay thankfully it looks

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:20.120
like AMD's prepping a ryzen 5 5500 X 3D

00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:22.199
spotted by haruk Kazi 5719 on Twitter

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:27.600
which could be the most affordable chip yet equipped with 3D vcash the essential

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.720
mineral Gamers crave another rumor claims that AMD will release BIOS up

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:40.280
dates that will increase the TDP of the 9600 X and 9700x from 65 to 105 Watts

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:45.320
which should also make Gamers happy that info comes from a saucy tweet from Chile

00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:49.360
dog on Twitter look we're not proud about relying on vague tweets for this

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:55.400
but when the new ryons are this disappointing sometimes you got to dig

00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:57.720
deeper down to find some sunshine R I

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:01.440
feel like earth scientists would disagree sometimes the sunshine is is

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:07.160
under the ground that's where plants come

00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:09.919
from meta shut down a research tool

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:14.160
called crowd tangle today despite strong opposition from government officials

00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:18.919
researchers and journalists most tech Giants upset maybe one of those groups

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:23.919
but all three that's talent crowd tangle allowed the study of how information

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.639
spreads on Facebook and Instagram that made it useful for identifying

00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:33.280
misinformation and security threats notably during elections news of the

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:38.160
shutdown upset the European commission and even inspired a bipartisan Coalition

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:43.560
of US senators and members of Congress to write a letter kindly asking Mark

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:48.479
Zuckerberg to maybe not do this 3 months before a presidential election consider

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:54.240
it Executives at meta have responded to the outcry by saying crowd tangle wasn't

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:58.199
meant for research yeah when Facebook sent people to personally train

00:05:55.919 --> 00:06:03.479
academics like Alice marwick on how to use crowdtangle for for research I was

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.599
just like was just like a bit you know I was just

00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:11.919
like we were joking we're just having fun you took it way too seriously now

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:17.840
meta has introduced a replacement tool called meta Content Library but it's not

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:22.639
as good not only does it produce less usable data but researchers now have to

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:27.560
apply to use it and then wait for approval meanwhile journalists from

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:32.240
commercial organizations meaning most journalists are ineligible

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.319
more importantly have you tried our sponsor ODU it's good let's face it if

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:42.280
you have a business in this day and age you probably want a website fortunately

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:46.280
you can make one for free with ODU it's easy to use thanks to its simple drag

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:50.400
and drop elements and code free approach ODU even provides unlimited hosting

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:54.479
reliable support and a free custom domain for an entire year visit ODU at

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:02.280
the link in the description and create a website for

00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:07.039
free come on sh if we're very quiet the

00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:07.039
quick bits can't find us uh

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:16.319
oh Elon musk's other company named X xai

00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:20.759
has released its upgraded grock 2 language model in beta complete with a

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:25.440
new image generator that's willing to generate pretty much anything you want

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:30.479
which is so far leading to a good many edgy photos of Taylor Swift flying into

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:36.479
the Twin Towers but I'm I'm also not complaining about finally getting to see

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:38.680
Baro Obama in waiting years grock 2 is

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:44.319
so edgy and cool that it doesn't hesitate to depict real people and

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:46.720
copyrighted characters packing heat whoa

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:51.879
Pikachu I didn't know you played like that you can come around my crib anytime

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:57.280
anyways I'm sure this will bring all the advertisers back valve has confirmed

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:02.720
that they are adding third-party device support to Steam OS starting with the

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.560
Rog Ally valve designer Lawrence Yang gave a statement to The Verge after

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:11.319
support for extra Rog Ally Keys was spotted in the patch notes of the

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.520
Linux-based operating system though he noted that third party support isn't

00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:18.800
quite ready yet the company is also

00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:23.319
still working on making it possible to dual boot Windows on your steam deck

00:08:21.479 --> 00:08:26.879
perhaps by the time valve gets dual boot working Microsoft will have done the

00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:33.279
same for Windows 11 which is what we actually want zuda ludicrous wacky

00:08:30.159 --> 00:08:35.959
cousin now the open source AMD GPU

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:41.760
implementation of NVIDIA's Cuda was taken down last week but not by NVIDIA

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:48.000
it was actually AMD who funded the development of zuda who sent a takedown

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:50.399
request to developer Andre Yanik while

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.399
Yanik said AMD gave him permission to release the code in an email apparently

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:59.200
they changed their mind the company's legal department now claims the email is

00:08:56.839 --> 00:09:04.480
not legally binding oh what you thought the words that someone wrote to you

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:09.240
meant something it was clearly just a bit an open- source project has gone

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:14.920
viral for its ability to generate realtime deep fakes deep live cam

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:19.680
apparently only needs a single image of a person's face to successfully make you

00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:23.440
look like that person in live webcam video tools like this have existed in

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:28.920
the past but they couldn't do it with a single image so the results aren't exact

00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:34.000
but they do a pretty good job matching poses expressions and even the lighting

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:38.200
captured by your webcam illustrator Corey Brickley reminds us that it's time

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.920
to establish code words with your parents because your face and voice are

00:09:39.880 --> 00:09:46.399
no longer enough to verify your identity this has been the latest episode of

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:50.200
man-made Horrors beyond my comprehension and I'm just kidding there's more mit's

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:56.440
computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory has launched the

00:09:52.839 --> 00:10:00.160
AI risk repository which contains more

00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:02.320
than 700 AI risks the project was

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:07.600
prompted by concerns that AI implementation was outpacing the spread

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:11.440
of the knowledge of the risks associated with said implementation risks like

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:17.000
needing to establish code words with your loved ones probably that's number

00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:20.839
568 coincidentally in their quest to spread information about the many

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:25.720
threats of AI the repositories creators found that one of the least addressed

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:32.680
threats is misinformation sure we may not understand AI but thanks to AI we

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:34.399
don't understand anything so but if we

00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:38.519
did understand something it would be that you should come back on Friday for

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:42.079
more Tech news I mean it's how the weekend is meant to be

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:49.639
started did you guys hear about that attack news oh cool let's let's hang out

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.639
laughs an existential dread
