00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,319
I wanted to surprise you with a little gift today okay in this episode I'm

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:08,520
going to list all my favorite things about you number

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:15,839
one I guess we'll do Tech news telegram

4
00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:17,640
CEO pav durov was arrested last weekend

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:22,039
on suspicion of failing to moderate criminal activity on the messaging app

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,760
but on Wednesday that suspicion was upgraded to preliminary charges as jov

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,039
was released on bail and barred from leaving France pending further

8
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:36,200
investigation the moved seemed sudden but it makes some sense given that back

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,600
in March jov told the financial times he doesn't think they should be policing

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:46,680
the way people Express themselves unless they cross red lines which red lines

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,680
unclear although it seems like one red line he won't cross is being a tad more

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:55,559
specific and the specifics matter here especially concerning telegram's

13
00:00:53,359 --> 00:01:00,039
optional use of encryption which was implemented without proper declaration

14
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:03,879
according to a statement from French authorities that we translated into

15
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:08,920
English so hopefully we got that right a declaration that other encryption using

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:13,960
platforms like WhatsApp and Signal have apparently done properly and now they're

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:18,960
worried about telegram making them look bad by association debate over

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,799
encryption has been raging in the EU especially after they just passed all

19
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:27,200
these laws that let them boss Tech Giants around what are we going to let

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:31,920
encrypted platforms get a pass by just putting a sock on the door don't look in

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,759
here the EU is also investigating whether telegram deliberately

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,960
undercounted its users to stay under the

23
00:01:36,759 --> 00:01:42,759
45 million user threshold which would subject the service to stricter

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,799
regulation so we'll see how that goes all in all this is a weird story not

25
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:50,960
just because it's complex but also because while the EU has gotten serious

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,920
about holding companies responsible for Content hosted on their platforms that

27
00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:03,240
usually hasn't involved arresting the CEO Crossing red lines indeed a NCH the

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,880
website known for publishing in-depth technical reporting for 27 years is

29
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,840
shutting down according to a post from editor-in Chief Ryan Smith in the latest

30
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,959
example of written journalism just not making investors happy enough they just

31
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,080
see a wall of letters it means nothing to them they need Zoomin and Vine booms

32
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,640
keep them stimulated they're like incredibly wealthy toddlers I feel

33
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:28,920
insecure in my job a non Tech has been a

34
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,120
rock of the tech journalism world and one of the only reasons I had a shred of

35
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:39,120
understanding of what the hell I've been talking about for the past 10 years founder Anand L shimpy left work on

36
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,159
chips for apple back in 2014 but the site was left in good hands two of which

37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:48,720
were attached to Dr Ian cutus otherwise known as te Tech potato for reasons I'll

38
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:52,760
never understand because a non-tech isn't here anymore to explain it to me

39
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:58,560
thankfully the site itself will remain up for presumably as long as publisher

40
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,120
future PLC decides it wants to and some

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Anon Tech writers have moved moved over to their sister site named after a

42
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:09,440
different guy Tom's Hardware it's just not the same sounds

43
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:14,760
like a play You by 2x4s welcome to Tom's Hardware you want cedar or

44
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:17,120
Maple apple and NVIDIA are both in talks

45
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:21,760
to join forces with Microsoft in launching truck fulls of cash at open

46
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:26,000
aai who have apparently burned through a good chunk of their billions of dollars

47
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:30,680
of investment money it's a bit of a strange development given recent

48
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:35,680
speculation that AI hype is steadily descending from its peak into the trough

49
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:41,360
of disillusionment but it would make more sense if open AI is considering

50
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:46,879
removing its cap on investor profits as reported by the financial times but open

51
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:49,200
AI insists their for-profit company is

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,879
still controlled by the nonprofit company who will absolutely ignore their

53
00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:58,680
for-profit investors and refuse to release extremely capable models that

54
00:03:57,079 --> 00:04:03,799
threaten to turn the internet into a bubbling soup of AI slop yes they

55
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:10,959
released chat GPT that was one time with like four or five updates and actually

56
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,840
open aai is kind of backing that up with

57
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,799
an agreement also signed by anthropic to give the US government's artificial

58
00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:23,360
intelligence safety Institute as well as the UK's equivalent organization Early

59
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:29,919
Access to both companies newest models to conduct safety testing before their

60
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,080
released to the public I mean sounds

61
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,800
pretty good and it maybe explains why Sam Alman thought it was okay to disband

62
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,440
open AI safety team they're just Outsourcing it to the federal government

63
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,960
why do the work they' got time they're watching TV shows at their desk most

64
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,880
days anyway they might even be watching shows that are only available in a

65
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,520
different country if they're smart in using our sponsor private internet

66
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:56,400
access Pia hides your IP address and masks the location of your internet

67
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,160
connection through an encrypted tunnel concealing your browsing activity from

68
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,880
your internet provider and other weirdos who want to see it gross get out of here

69
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,360
with a single subscription you get an unlimited number of connections on

devices running Windows macOS Android Linux iOS and more on a vast network

71
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:19,840
spanning over 91 countries whoa plus Pia never records or

72
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:26,400
stores user data and if you're skeptical their app code is open source dig in get

73
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,199
in there and then get on to LMG Dogg Pia

74
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,360
TechLink or the link in the description to get an exclusive deal with a

75
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:36,440
risk-free 30-day money back guarantee okay I thought of something

76
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:39,440
you kind of like

77
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:49,280
computers okay here's a quick pits AMD has confirmed the existence of the long

78
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,120
rumored ryen 57600 x3d but you're only

79
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:56,479
allowed to be excited about it if you're American turns out the processor will be

80
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:02,319
exclusive to us retailer Micro Center which currently has 28 locations in some

81
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:05,720
of the 50 United States in a statement the chief merchandising officer for

82
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:10,360
Micro Center said the chip is a significant step forward in making high

83
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,680
performance cashr processors more accessible despite it being largely

84
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:18,120
inaccessible it's been 6 days since the

85
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:23,319
Port of Seattle was hit by a possible Cyber attack and the Seattle Tacoma

86
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Airport AKA SeaTac is still mostly offline with no clear timeline for

87
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:33,840
Recovery the airport's internet baggage routing and gate updates are all down

88
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:38,840
and staff have resorted to taping paper with flight numbers on them to the blank

89
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:40,560
screens by each gate luckily the TSA and

90
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:44,680
air traffic control are on separate systems from the rest of the airport

91
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:49,160
which is great news for fans of getting groped by the government and not dying

92
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:56,599
in a ball of fire Microsoft is rebranding its remote desktop app an

93
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:58,560
eminently googleable name to Windows app

94
00:06:56,599 --> 00:07:03,160
in an astounding Act of branding self-sabotage from the people who

95
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:08,080
brought you five different co-pilots the so-called Windows app was released in

96
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:13,800
preview under its stupid new name back in November of last year but yesterday

97
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:17,639
they confirmed this idiocy by adding a notification to the current APP and

98
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:23,199
their website we're just we're just being harsh we're being little

99
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:29,160
stinkers now you can say the completely true sentence the Windows app is

100
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,160
available for macOS iOS and iPad OS and

101
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,520
really confuse your grandma anyway I hope you don't run into technical

102
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:41,199
difficulties and wind up needing to Bing Windows app help anytime

103
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:47,039
soon just install the Windows app which one who's on voice scientists have

104
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:52,440
developed a chemical process to vaporize plastic that could be used to recycle

105
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:57,000
bags and Bottles indefinitely you see plastic is a polymer a substance with

106
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,800
very large molecules composed of repeating subunits a polymer is not and

107
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,159
this was news to me a fish person with multiple

108
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:14,440
partners that's a that's a polymer person polymer person by vaporizing

109
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:19,080
certain unfortunate polymers they can be reduced to their building blocks to make

110
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:24,720
new Plastics now does this solve the whole microplastics inside of us and

111
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,080
also the ocean and in our brains issue

112
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,880
probably not given that we're vaporizing them but Chinese researchers are having

113
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:36,000
success making a robust yet compostable

114
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,399
hard plastic out of bamboo and that

115
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,839
could help keep the ocean cleaner saving many non- monogamous fish people and mid

116
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:48,360
Journey the company behind AI image generator mid journey is getting into

117
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Hardware but they haven't been very forthcoming about what kind of Hardware

118
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:59,880
uh the company did hire engineer Ahmad abas back in February who previously

119
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:05,440
helped design the Apple Vision Pro mid journey is also continuing to develop AI

120
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,560
models to generate video and 3D

121
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:15,399
environments maybe the hardware will be a headset that generates 3D worlds or

122
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:18,000
maybe it's an orb back in January mid

123
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:24,079
Journey CEO David Holtz replied to a pondering my orb meme on Twitter by

124
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:28,000
saying we will make the

125
00:09:24,079 --> 00:09:31,200
orb we will we will make the orb what

126
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,160
does that mean I don't know but stay

127
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:39,320
tuned for orb the best way to stay tuned is to literally stay tuned by coming

128
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:42,760
back on Monday for more Tech news just kidding I made a horrible mistake we're

129
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:47,519
not actually uploading anything on Monday not a to link not a regular Tech

130
00:09:44,839 --> 00:09:51,560
link it's a holiday so believe it or not we're taking a holiday we're taking a

131
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:55,480
day off so come back on Wednesday for more Tech news please
