Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Ok, NOW A.I. is Scaring Me”.
Tech news won’t keep you alive in a desert island situation, but it could give you more to think about, like maybe Nintendo was right to dmca everyone like that, and then you die Chachi BT was all the rage but get ready to hear more about projects based On auto GPT, a GitHub project posted two weeks ago that modifies large language models like open ai’s GPT to function as semi-autonomous agents. That means, when you give it a goal, instead of giving you a response and then waiting for a prompt number, two like a fun chat bot, it will give itself feedback based on its own performance and continue acting in pursuit of its goal until you shut it Down like a Terminator from the movie Terminator every time you use it, you have to put it into a molten metal, Auto GPT spawned many similar projects, many of which are trending on GitHub, including an official Microsoft Project called Jarvis, because it was the reference in case You didn’t quite understand these AIS act more like little humans than before, which is why researchers just published a study where 25 of them were put in a video game and when one of them was given the idea to throw a Valentine’s day, part. The agents autonomously sent out invites met new acquaintances, asked each other on dates to the party and then actually showed up, which is frankly much better than many humans could do. Why did the robots get love? So that’s one thing: another concerning AI thing is scammers, who are currently right now: tricking normal people into thinking. Their loved ones have been kidnapped, using voice cloning, Ai and caller ID spoofing. So it actually looks almost exactly like the scene from Taken, except you don’t have a certain set of skills, you’re, just Tammy just Tammy. Now we can look at things like the recently announced Dolly 2.0, an open source llam with promise as a chat, GPT competitor for the people as a cool democratization of AI Tech, but given how this Tech has gone from being future scary to scary right now, it’s We’Re scared about it.
Now we should be asking whether we need democratization or regulation, which is why the U.S government agency responsible for these things is currently seeking public comments to help it put together. Laws to protect us from the Eldritch Horrors literally every programmer is clicking up on their laptops. Right now, I need to calm down in lighter news uh. This fun leaked video has given us a glimpse of a new windows. Ui custom made for gaming handhelds like the steam deck or Rog Ally. So that’s that’s cool, hey! This is cool now, given that the handheld Windows mode is being made for an internal hackathon project, it’s unclear whether Microsoft is for sure going to release something like this.
I mean not doing so would lead more people on board the Linux gaming hype train, but maybe Microsoft is fine with that you know. We’Ve got so many people using Windows. It’S almost too many stop using Windows. So please, but one feature that Microsoft is officially working on, is a presence sensing mode which has shown up in a Windows.
11 preview build this uses various device sensors to tell whether you’re present at your PC, both physically and perhaps mentally. Frankly, I’d love my PC to sense when I’m getting distracted and do a little Riley are we present right now and Western Digital? No sooner got their my cloud service back up and running a week after being hacked, then those same hackers demanded the company pay to reclaim 10 terabytes of stolen data. I mean you, don’t send a ransom note right after you steal the thing: that’d be rude. Techcrunch reporters spoke to one of the hackers and were able to confirm that at least some of the stolen data was legitimate.
The hackers claimed to have personal info like email addresses, phone numbers and more of both WD staff and customers. If the company isn’t willing to pay the minimum eight-figure Ransom, the hackers say, they’ll start posting the data on the website of alphavi a hacking group that these hackers are not a part of, but who they know to be professional. You can’t just post things on like 4chan, I mean as an extortionist. There are just some things.
You don’t do now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by Videocon the app that makes it super easy to create exciting presentations and demonstrations, because most people find that it’s harder to get people to absorb what you’re saying after they’ve already fallen asleep. Please, wake up video comms got a bunch of features to spruce up your project like per slide webcam, embedding automatic Cloud saving and team collaboration tools. It’S never been more easy and intuitive to turn a drab PowerPoint presentation into an engaging experience that will leave the whole room smiling honestly, maybe a bit too much, don’t overdo it check out video com at the link below for free and use code Linus for 50 Off any paid subscription, oh you thought that stuff was Tech, news.
Wait till you see the quick bits which are also in that category. The FBI has arrested the 21 year old suspected of leaking a trove of classified U.S government documents on a Discord, server called Thug, Shaker Central, very cool. According to the Washington Post, the suspect is a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard who ended up posting screenshots of the documents, after growing frustrated that the members of his military-themed Discord group were ignoring the text-based post that he had spent hours typing up. It’S working. So hard markings and environmental clues in the photographed printouts helped investigators determine the man’s identity, but Discord has also said they are cooperating with law enforcement.
So are you guys I’m trying to give you sensitive note? Please pay attention so remember: Gamers, don’t make this guy’s key mistake. Joining the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Nvidia has released some helpful statistics claiming that 83 percent of Gamers with RTX 40 series cards, which is 0.68 of all steam users according to steam survey, turn Ray tracing on with 79 of the same group. Turning dlss on now, there’s two main questions.
This has brought up one if you flip on Ray tracing one time decide you don’t want it and then flip it off. Does that count the other question? Why are nearly 20 of these Gamers buying an RTX 40 series card and not using the RTX features? What are, did you put it in your mom’s computer? Why did you do that? Chunky three slot, RTX 2080 TI graphics cards have been showing up dead in greater numbers due to sagging in their pcie slots, which causes bending and uneven thermal stress. According to a video from German computer repair, technician chrisfix, specifically the solder points of memory chips nearest to the PCI socket are the most likely failure point. So you might want to check in on that.
If you’ve got a big card in your rig because look we all love a top of the line, chunky boy, but that chunk comes at a price. Hashtag chunk awareness, hashtag save that chunk. Twitter has announced a new feature where Twitter creators will be able to offer paid subscriptions where followers can access exclusive tweets and long form. Video, and you might be thinking hey.
That just sounds like super follows, but to that we say: no, it isn’t. It’S called something different now: the company hopes to include newsletters and other Twitter features as potential bonus content later down the line. Of course, Twitter already had a newsletter tool, but it was shut down three months ago in what is becoming just par for the course they had that feature, and then, and today the European Space Agency launched an unmanned spacecraft on a mission to determine whether the icy Oceans of Jupiter’s, largest Moon, moons, multiple Callisto, Europa and Ganymede. It’S not ganymedy whether they’re able to support life, not intelligent life, just a dumb kind, we’re insulting them already.
Some of you may know that Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus. While each of the moons is named after an ancient mythological hottie that Zeus consorted with fittingly, the initial launch was delayed due to risk of lightning. If the orbits Rock the moons are busy, how do you put a sock on a moon and we’ll put a sock on the channel until Monday? Because that’s when you should come back for more a fresh, hot batcha Tech news? That’S the thing about news.
It’S different! Every time we’re gon na figure out how to put a sock on the channel we haven’t figured that out yet also, you can still watch the videos of the weekend. I’M not gon na I’m not gon na stop. .
