0:17
we are going to talk about the tech news we're going to talk about it hard yeah
0:21
we might not talk hard but we're going to make talking about it look hard
0:26
last night the friendly spirit of the gaming industry jeff keely hosted the
0:29
fifth annual game awards which has become kind of less about actual awards and more about
0:36
the ridiculous number of announcements and trailers that get released at the
0:40
same time like we've got roundups of the biggest news and the news source is down
0:43
below but here are some of the highlights the creators of ark survival
0:47
evolved are making atlas a vaguely
0:50
pirate-themed mmo that also has monsters
0:54
dragons and who knows what else
0:57
obsidians the outer worlds is kind of like fallout in space
1:02
but with more jokes yeah fallout's not very funny ps4 exclusive journey is
1:08
coming to the pc via the new epic games store far cry new dawn is a
1:13
post-apocalyptic sequel to far cry 5 a rare sequel for the series mind you
1:18
they're all kind of well they're numbered but not sequels and
1:21
mortal kombat 11 is a thing we gotta we also got a new oh my goodness this is

1:54
those games with all the free time i have
1:57
the world's talking about huawei right now and not in a particularly good way
2:02
japan and british telecom bt have announced that they are following the us
2:07
australia and new zealand in banning the
2:10
chinese tech giant's 5g networking equipment because of fears that the
2:14
chinese government is using huawei as a tool for espionage which is a fancy word
2:20
for spying never mind the fact that just shortly
2:24
after announcing their ban the australian government introduced a bill
2:28
that would allow themselves to take user data from tech companies at will leading
2:34
to backlash from facebook google and
2:37
others they were like no this is our
2:40
stuff to take from people at will to complicate matters even further the
2:44
canadian government just arrested huawei's chief financial officer also
2:50
the daughter of the company's founder here in vancouver like literally like 40
2:55
kilometers that way on charges of violating u.s sanctions
3:00
against iran so china has demanded her
3:04
release and now the whole situation is just
3:07
generally pretty messed up it looks like huawei is going to be like at the center
3:10
of tensions between china and the west which is kind of a shame because the
3:14
mate 20 pro it's cool fun great phone cool fun
3:17
but you know maybe it's fine because we're all going to get killed by robots
3:20
before anything really bad happens anyway deepmind the company behind the
3:25
ai alphago which became famous last year for beating one of the world's best go
3:30
players has announced that alphago has amassed enough energy to evolve to a
3:34
higher plane of existence alpha zero is an ai that teaches itself
3:40
how to play games rather than learning from human players using that strategy
3:45
allows alpha zero the zero is for zero
3:48
humans required anymore to develop what its creators call
3:53
creativity and intuition it took three days for alpha
3:58
zero to teach itself how to beat the reigning chess ai champ stockfish and
4:03
deepmind wants to take alpha zero's creativity and apply it to human
4:08
problems that matter a little bit more they took oh come on chess is cool chess
4:12
matters but we best be careful or we might get
4:15
more incidents like the recent one involving an amazon robot inadvertently
4:19
opening up a sealed can of bear mace sending 24 warehouse workers to the
4:24
hospital now that is a creative way to
4:28
get some time off that's not funny they had to go to the

where you can buy drones to protect your property really the bee
7:04
a drone funny made by sunflower lads oh oh i
7:09
love i love these guys already lives in a base station in your yard and
7:14
periodically leaves to survey the grounds sending a 1080p video stream to
7:19
your phone in the event that it detects something
7:22
so okay maybe it won't actually protect
7:25
your property but if you wanted a more high-tech
7:29
version of a small yappy annoying dog
7:33
that breaks down you are now covered okay to be clear
7:37
okay i don't know that it'll break down it might be amazing speaking of things
7:40
that might be amazing but might also break down the beta and launch of
7:45
fallout 76 may go down as one of the worst game launches in history and
7:49
remember this is a history where like
7:53
man what's what are some really bad game launches like e.t the extraterrestrial
7:57
okay exists the latest scandal in the news is that bethesda has accidentally
8:03
released players private information including type of credit card email and
8:09
home address the issue is apparently fixed now
8:13
but still i mean at this point it's not clear whether bethesda is trying to make
8:17
a fallout game or turn the world into a
8:20
post-apocalyptic wasteland they're getting there they're getting there i
8:24
said elliptic but i meant post-apocalyptic i know how that word
8:28
works you guys have been watching the show a long time you know i know what that word is and you know
8:34
and if you don't know then make sure you subscribe so that next time you can hear
8:38
me say it correctly oh okay yeah that was a good segue
8:42
i like that one i'm just gonna take my shirt off
8:45
give the people what they want
8:49
okay i don't even know if that was a good i liked it episode okay
