Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “What Will Intel Do Now?”.
Tech stuff happens, so we’re here doing a video about it. It’S like it’s like a company fires off an email, and now I have to work. How does this make sense? This is Raja kaduri, Chief Architect of Intel’s, discrete graphics cards is leaving the company because, if his previous post as head of amd’s Radeon gpus as any indication launching new products that failed to live up to the hype, is kind of his ammo. Hey, that’s not nice. Okay seriously, we needed Intel Arc gpus, but they still need some work and he’s moving on. So we can joke right. Okay, we can be still friends, friends make jokes anyways raja’s off to form his own gaming startup focused on what else AI it’ll apparently focus on.
Creating generative AI tools for movies games and other media that are compatible with basically any processor, not just chips from Nvidia. It’S only fair that kaduri is taking the risk of going independent. Now, having worked directly for Apple AMD and Intel, I mean how old is he 55 yeah? That’S that’s, Prime midlife crisis territory.
Again this is not. He seems nice, I’m not trying to it’s just middle-aged man. Something happens up here.
Okay, so to Mr kadiri’s credit. Under his leadership, while Intel’s arc graphics card suffered delays and initially lagged behind the competition in terms of performance, that Gap has started closing significantly as Intel releases improve drivers. It was the first time that a major player entered the dedicated graphics Market in years, making it a qualified success for Intel, which has otherwise had a pretty rough year, not rough as in sandpaper rough as in getting dragged along the highway with your ankle caught in A tow rope, okay, I didn’t write that one. That was it.
She did. The windows, 11 Snipping Tool and Windows, 10, snip and sketch have a bug where it may be possible to recover and view the original screenshot after it has been cropped or censored. Now, if that sounds familiar, it might be because, basically, the same issue was patched on the Google pixel earlier this week, despite the fact that Microsoft and Google built these tools entirely separately, they appear to have made the exact same error when the newly cropped image saves. It saves over the original image, but that new image is smaller than the original image and much like a large man and a tiny thong. It doesn’t cover everything. What this means is that if you had something in a picture that you didn’t want people to see like say, photo ID or important documents or genitalia that information may be recoverable, and by that information I mean quite possibly an uncensored photo of your social insurance number And or penis what, if it’s, my social insurance number written along with me? What, if that’s, where I keep it even worse, given the widespread use of a screenshot editor on literally the world’s most popular OS, it may be possible to unredact sensitive information released by reporters whistleblowers and government agencies, so Julian Assange might still be locked up, but I Think we about to learn some stuff. Is he locked up? Oh, he is in prison. Yes fantastic.
I mean that’s not fantastic, but okay and Google is opening early access to its AI chatbot Bard and the reviews are in it’s just okay. I mean it’s a chatbot. There’S been like a million of these things at this point and I’m starting to get their names confused like a forgetful Uncle who never calls for a long time.
Google was the big dog in the AI space, but Tech personalities like Marquez, Brownlee and Luke lafrenier have given this experimental version of Bard a resounding. If anything, Bard feels extremely cautious compared to everything else. We’Ve seen in recent months, perhaps understandably so, given past hiccups, Bard’s page is covered in disclaimers and caveats warning users that its output may not be fully trustworthy and the wait list is currently restricted to users, 18 and older. Just in case you might want to get into some Saucy search engine role play a lot of people. Do that.
One interesting addition to the AI chatbot formula is that Google hasn’t has included an option to look at alternative drafts of Bard’s responses, allowing users to contrast and compare unlike Bing. It doesn’t always cite its sources which led to it answering a question from a Tom’s Hardware. Writer with information taken word for word from a Tom’s Hardware article. When the writer then asked if Bard had just committed plagiarism, the AI fully agreed. You got me they’re still working on me so yeah. So, even if the best thing we can say about Bard right now is that it’s just as eloquent as Microsoft’s new Bing.
It’S also never threatened anyone accused them of murder or tried to convince them to leave their spouse, yet give it time now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by the Corsair Xenia on Flex, bendable gaming monitor, which does just make you choose sides in the Culture, war between flat and curved, monitor people. It’S rough out there developed by the OLED experts at LG, the display bends from completely flat to an 800 R curve allowing for a fully customizable viewing experience and its 45 inch 240 hertz 3440x1440p display immerses. You right in the action of maybe a fake War, where real tweets can’t hurt your feelings. Take your gaming to the next level and check out the Corsair Xenia on Flex at the link below.
They call me the quick bit kid and I’m the quickest bit in the west. No one’s really checked, though so Adobe has launched the beta of firefly a set of generative AI tools, which Adobe says have been trained without stealing the copyrighted work of artists. Only the freshest locally sourced organic stock photos Adobe will automatically tag content developed with firefly as AI assisted and is developing a do, not train metadata tag for artists who don’t want their work used to train AI art systems. It’S like one of those do not disturb signs that stop hotel, maids from stealing guests Underpants and then combining them into a massive underwear database than procedurally generating remarkably similar Underpants without proper attribution. It’S a real problem in the hotel industry step profit at some point. Dp Review, one of the world’s best resources on cameras is being shut down because they’re owned by Amazon, a company that infamously does not care about the quality of consumer reviews.
Dp Review has been providing detailed, comprehensive reviews on cameras for the past 25 years. Serving the Enthusiast Community with invaluable information, something that didn’t change when they were subsumed by Amazon’s amorphous mass in 2007., no lunch breaks get in the happy box, but Amazon needs to make cuts and clearly the best place to start is a successful Enthusiast resource with a Powerful brand and hundreds of thousands of fans I have to don’t even don’t really need them valve suddenly announced this morning that Counter-Strike 2 will arrive this summer as a free update to CS go complete with overhauled visuals volumetric smoke, grenades and what valve calls subtic update Architecture, meaning that the speed of players actions won’t rely on their tick rate, we’ll have to wait to hear about more features which will be announced closer to launch, but since the sequel took 23 years to come out a few months. So what is too bad? Is EA de-listing, Battlefield 1943 and both bad companies from digital stores in advance of their online services, shutting down in December sure we could change the game so that you can buy it and play the single player without requiring it to call our servers first, but honestly, We’Re kind of warming up to the whole piracy thing is probably what they’re thinking I have to imagine.
That’S the only it’s the only thing that makes sense. Hackers have stolen one and a half million dollars worth of digital dash from cryptocurrency ATMs due to an unusual, zero day, vulnerability. The terminals allowed customers to exchange various cryptocurrencies.
That part makes sense, or they could also for some unclear reason, upload videos to the ATM. It’S just for Rick Rolling the hacker used this system to upload and execute a malicious program which then drained several hot wallets, which are like regular, wallets, except they’re, connected to the internet, and they are incredibly sexy. What’S a cold wallet, then it’s where you put your Bitcoin in a USB drive and hide it under your mattress. That’S actually just not a joke, that’s just what it is, and scientists have found a key compound for the formation of organic life in samples taken from an asteroid. The compound in question is uracil, one of the four nucleobases that form RNA and not actually medication for people with incontinence. That’S that’s where I well.
I thought it was. This is the strongest evidence yet discovered of a theory known as panspermia, which means exactly what it sounds like, While most scientists believe life on Earth arose from a warm mixture of organic compounds that started getting uppity one day, it’s possible that those compounds originated somewhere other Than Earth and traveled here on meteorites, it’s also possible that the sample may have been contaminated somehow or altered by its Passage through the atmosphere. But let me dream my possibly extraterrestrial dreams. Okay, I want to believe I always thought I was different and you don’t have to dream about getting more Tech news if you just show up on Friday when we post another episode, I keep telling you this.
