00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.319
I wanted to surprise you with a little gift today okay in this episode I'm

00:00:03.719 --> 00:00:08.520
going to list all my favorite things about you number

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:15.839
one I guess we'll do Tech news telegram

00:00:12.799 --> 00:00:17.640
CEO pav durov was arrested last weekend

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:22.039
on suspicion of failing to moderate criminal activity on the messaging app

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.760
but on Wednesday that suspicion was upgraded to preliminary charges as jov

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.039
was released on bail and barred from leaving France pending further

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:36.200
investigation the moved seemed sudden but it makes some sense given that back

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.600
in March jov told the financial times he doesn't think they should be policing

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:46.680
the way people Express themselves unless they cross red lines which red lines

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

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:55.559
specific and the specifics matter here especially concerning telegram's

00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:00.039
optional use of encryption which was implemented without proper declaration

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:03.879
according to a statement from French authorities that we translated into

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:08.920
English so hopefully we got that right a declaration that other encryption using

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:13.960
platforms like WhatsApp and Signal have apparently done properly and now they're

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:18.960
worried about telegram making them look bad by association debate over

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.799
encryption has been raging in the EU especially after they just passed all

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:27.200
these laws that let them boss Tech Giants around what are we going to let

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

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.759
here the EU is also investigating whether telegram deliberately

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:38.960
undercounted its users to stay under the

00:01:36.759 --> 00:01:42.759
45 million user threshold which would subject the service to stricter

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

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:50.960
just because it's complex but also because while the EU has gotten serious

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.920
about holding companies responsible for Content hosted on their platforms that

00:01:53.240 --> 00:02:03.240
usually hasn't involved arresting the CEO Crossing red lines indeed a NCH the

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.880
website known for publishing in-depth technical reporting for 27 years is

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:12.840
shutting down according to a post from editor-in Chief Ryan Smith in the latest

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:16.959
example of written journalism just not making investors happy enough they just

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.080
see a wall of letters it means nothing to them they need Zoomin and Vine booms

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.640
keep them stimulated they're like incredibly wealthy toddlers I feel

00:02:23.239 --> 00:02:28.920
insecure in my job a non Tech has been a

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

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

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

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:48.720
were attached to Dr Ian cutus otherwise known as te Tech potato for reasons I'll

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:52.760
never understand because a non-tech isn't here anymore to explain it to me

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:58.560
thankfully the site itself will remain up for presumably as long as publisher

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.120
future PLC decides it wants to and some

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.760
Anon Tech writers have moved moved over to their sister site named after a

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:09.440
different guy Tom's Hardware it's just not the same sounds

00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:14.760
like a play You by 2x4s welcome to Tom's Hardware you want cedar or

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:17.120
Maple apple and NVIDIA are both in talks

00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:21.760
to join forces with Microsoft in launching truck fulls of cash at open

00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:26.000
aai who have apparently burned through a good chunk of their billions of dollars

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.680
of investment money it's a bit of a strange development given recent

00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:35.680
speculation that AI hype is steadily descending from its peak into the trough

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:41.360
of disillusionment but it would make more sense if open AI is considering

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:46.879
removing its cap on investor profits as reported by the financial times but open

00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:49.200
AI insists their for-profit company is

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.879
still controlled by the nonprofit company who will absolutely ignore their

00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:58.680
for-profit investors and refuse to release extremely capable models that

00:03:57.079 --> 00:04:03.799
threaten to turn the internet into a bubbling soup of AI slop yes they

00:04:01.239 --> 00:04:10.959
released chat GPT that was one time with like four or five updates and actually

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.840
open aai is kind of backing that up with

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.799
an agreement also signed by anthropic to give the US government's artificial

00:04:15.799 --> 00:04:23.360
intelligence safety Institute as well as the UK's equivalent organization Early

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:29.919
Access to both companies newest models to conduct safety testing before their

00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:32.080
released to the public I mean sounds

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.800
pretty good and it maybe explains why Sam Alman thought it was okay to disband

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.440
open AI safety team they're just Outsourcing it to the federal government

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:44.960
why do the work they' got time they're watching TV shows at their desk most

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.880
days anyway they might even be watching shows that are only available in a

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.520
different country if they're smart in using our sponsor private internet

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:56.400
access Pia hides your IP address and masks the location of your internet

00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.160
connection through an encrypted tunnel concealing your browsing activity from

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.880
your internet provider and other weirdos who want to see it gross get out of here

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

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:19.840
spanning over 91 countries whoa plus Pia never records or

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

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:28.199
in there and then get on to LMG Dogg Pia

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:32.360
TechLink or the link in the description to get an exclusive deal with a

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:36.440
risk-free 30-day money back guarantee okay I thought of something

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:39.440
you kind of like

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:49.280
computers okay here's a quick pits AMD has confirmed the existence of the long

00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:51.120
rumored ryen 57600 x3d but you're only

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:56.479
allowed to be excited about it if you're American turns out the processor will be

00:05:53.520 --> 00:06:02.319
exclusive to us retailer Micro Center which currently has 28 locations in some

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.720
of the 50 United States in a statement the chief merchandising officer for

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:10.360
Micro Center said the chip is a significant step forward in making high

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:15.680
performance cashr processors more accessible despite it being largely

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:18.120
inaccessible it's been 6 days since the

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:23.319
Port of Seattle was hit by a possible Cyber attack and the Seattle Tacoma

00:06:20.520 --> 00:06:28.560
Airport AKA SeaTac is still mostly offline with no clear timeline for

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:33.840
Recovery the airport's internet baggage routing and gate updates are all down

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:38.840
and staff have resorted to taping paper with flight numbers on them to the blank

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.560
screens by each gate luckily the TSA and

00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:44.680
air traffic control are on separate systems from the rest of the airport

00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:49.160
which is great news for fans of getting groped by the government and not dying

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:56.599
in a ball of fire Microsoft is rebranding its remote desktop app an

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:58.560
eminently googleable name to Windows app

00:06:56.599 --> 00:07:03.160
in an astounding Act of branding self-sabotage from the people who

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:08.080
brought you five different co-pilots the so-called Windows app was released in

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:13.800
preview under its stupid new name back in November of last year but yesterday

00:07:11.080 --> 00:07:17.639
they confirmed this idiocy by adding a notification to the current APP and

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:23.199
their website we're just we're just being harsh we're being little

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:29.160
stinkers now you can say the completely true sentence the Windows app is

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:31.160
available for macOS iOS and iPad OS and

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:34.520
really confuse your grandma anyway I hope you don't run into technical

00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:41.199
difficulties and wind up needing to Bing Windows app help anytime

00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:47.039
soon just install the Windows app which one who's on voice scientists have

00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:52.440
developed a chemical process to vaporize plastic that could be used to recycle

00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:57.000
bags and Bottles indefinitely you see plastic is a polymer a substance with

00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:02.800
very large molecules composed of repeating subunits a polymer is not and

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:06.159
this was news to me a fish person with multiple

00:08:06.159 --> 00:08:14.440
partners that's a that's a polymer person polymer person by vaporizing

00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:19.080
certain unfortunate polymers they can be reduced to their building blocks to make

00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:24.720
new Plastics now does this solve the whole microplastics inside of us and

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:27.080
also the ocean and in our brains issue

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:32.880
probably not given that we're vaporizing them but Chinese researchers are having

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:36.000
success making a robust yet compostable

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:38.399
hard plastic out of bamboo and that

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:43.839
could help keep the ocean cleaner saving many non- monogamous fish people and mid

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:48.360
Journey the company behind AI image generator mid journey is getting into

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:54.600
Hardware but they haven't been very forthcoming about what kind of Hardware

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:59.880
uh the company did hire engineer Ahmad abas back in February who previously

00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:05.440
helped design the Apple Vision Pro mid journey is also continuing to develop AI

00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:07.560
models to generate video and 3D

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:15.399
environments maybe the hardware will be a headset that generates 3D worlds or

00:09:11.640 --> 00:09:18.000
maybe it's an orb back in January mid

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:24.079
Journey CEO David Holtz replied to a pondering my orb meme on Twitter by

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:28.000
saying we will make the

00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:31.200
orb we will we will make the orb what

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:34.160
does that mean I don't know but stay

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:39.320
tuned for orb the best way to stay tuned is to literally stay tuned by coming

00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:42.760
back on Monday for more Tech news just kidding I made a horrible mistake we're

00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:47.519
not actually uploading anything on Monday not a to link not a regular Tech

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

00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:55.480
day off so come back on Wednesday for more Tech news please
