Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “OpenAI is Completely Fine”.
Hey is it just me, or did it just get a lot more Tech newsy in here yeah I like it, Sam Alman will be returning as CEO of open AI only 5 days after he was fired to everyone who took a week-long digital detox retreat or got Hit in the head with a rock on Friday afternoon, well, you’ve missed a lot. Luckily, for you we’re mostly back where we started, albeit with an entirely new board, with the exception of Adam D’Angelo, who will remain to represent the views of the former board and to maintain open AI leadership’s all important skinny twink quota, if you’re looking for new info About why Alman was fired in the first place, don’t ask Microsoft’s CEO Satia nadela, who said even he still doesn’t know the prevailing hypothesis. So far is that the difference in values between the cautious safety-minded board and alman’s, relatively gung-ho attitude towards AI development cause relatively, doesn’t know the prevailing hypothesis so far. Is that the difference in values between the cautious safety-minded board and alman’s, relatively more gung-ho attitude towards AI development caused es Schism? Alman’S jet setting search for investment in other AI adjacent projects also led to concerns.
He may prioritize his own interests ahead of the goals of the organization, which wouldn’t be that surprising, given that Alman was asked to step down from his leadership position at Y combinator in 2019 19. Due to similar concerns, and of course Elman will be returning as CEO. Just in time to deal with yet another copyright lawsuit This Time by non-fiction book authors against both open, aai and Microsoft.
In other words, if you were hit with a rock on Friday and then again at the beginning of this video, you haven’t really missed anything. So, as you were, Google will resume roll out of its controversial, manifest V3 extension format for Chrome, which will block ad blockers even harder. You think they’re blocked. Now. On June 2024, Google will turn off manifest V2. The current format for Chrome, extensions, grome, grome extensions.
That’S what I use, meaning they’ll, be unavailable to install from the Chrome web store and will be automatically disabled in users. Browsers. Google has argued that manifest V3 by limiting extensions, will better protect user privacy and allow the browser to be lighter on resources. That’S potentially a Bo to users like this episode’s main writer Jessica, whose workstation craps its pants every time she opens more than four tabs in Chrome, seemingly out of spite just Chrome every time I don’t think it likes you. However, civil liberties groups have criticized Google’s pitch with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, calling it deceitful and threatening, while Google is limiting potential harm done by malicious extension developers. It’S also limiting users’s ability to protect themselves, especially from Google by kneecapping web filtering, which includes, but is not limited to ad blockers.
Manifest V3, as originally proposed limited web filters to 5,000 filtering rules which it has gracefully loosened. Thank you so much to a limit of 30,000 rules. That sounds like a lot Until you realize that a tool like U block origin, has over 300,000 filtering rules available to users and much like a bicycle or hair. You can’t just remove 90 % of something and expect it to be the same lesson I learned the hard way I mean. Unicycles only have one wheel warning to All Tech news citizens, your Plex account just emailed your mom, an itemized list of all your favorite adult films.

Plex also altered its weekend review email that summarizes their weekly activity. Uh feature users already hated so that it also sends users a summary of their friends weekly activity, including media, that they uploaded to their own personal server. It’S a feature that might appeal to some people, people with Innocent minds and squeaky clean hard drives, but Plex made it opt out rather than opt in meaning that over the past 3 weeks, many users have been unknowingly broadcasting. Their obsession with desperate Housewives and big booty. Babes Deluxe addition to their sweet Old Nana.

Ah quick bits. One moment they’re here, the next they’re gone I’ll catch them. One day, the UK’s National Health Service has signed a 330 million pound contract with pantier the us-based data management giant founded by billionaire Peter teal, to build a central Federated data platform or fdp it’s not expensive. It’S just really heavy.
This has triggered concerns over handing what is reportedly, the world’s largest single repository of Health info to a data hungry company best known for its shoddy human rights record, and collaboration with spy agencies should be fine. While Plante are telling the CIA about your ER visit involving a misplaced jar of marmalade might be embarrassing, would you rather have one of the other 11 tech companies tastelessly named after Lord of the Rings? Oh, I thought it was named after planter. Warts I mean it’s just rude to Tolen really like have some respect, I’m actually a little upset about it about the naming reports indicate a disturbing pattern of accidents and injuries at Tesla’s giant Factory in Austin, according to OSHA data, at least one out of every 21 Workers at the factory was injured in 2022 and we’re not just talking minor boo boos. Here. Reports describe exploding, casting machines, falling overhead beams and at least one engineer who got mauled by a robot but hey in lighter Tesla news.
Some supercharger stations will begin charging users $ 1 for every minute they charge above 90 % battery as a way of reducing congestion. They could reduce congestion even further by attacking patrons who charge over 95 % with murderous robots. Just an idea, Sony has completed a field trial in collaboration with the Associated Press for its in camera.
Authenticity technology, which, like similar Tech announced by Leica last month, adds a digital signature to photos at the moment of capture. Because how do you know when your photo is really authentic? When a computer says it is maybe she’s bored with it? Maybe she was built in a factory? Maybe it’s AI seriously, though digital authentication like this is becoming increasingly necessary, as it gets easier and easier to create photorealistic images with AI, because I’d like to have a legitimate way to answer the question Pope or no Pope. I just want to know where the pope is. Am I looking at the pope or not? Amazon has confirmed that it will be laying off several hundred workers in its Alexa division as part of a shift towards generative AI.
Despite the fact that many of their recent efforts involved, integrating AI into Alexa Amazon, stated that laid-off workers only represent a relatively small percentage of the total number of people in the devices business, which is a fun way of saying. Your company can c casually fire. The population of a large Village and not even notice these workers join the over 27,000 employees. Amazon has laid off over the course of the past year, who collectively are a big enough Community to deserve their own mayor and post office, and NASA is testing ground, topace Optical communication technology by using lasers to transmit information. The hope is, this technology will help send higher data rate Communications to distant places like Mars, as the space agency prepares for more study of the red planet, red also being a common color of lasers. So I ad Li that don’t blame Jessica. Their experiment could even expand the use case for optical data transmission right now. The only message a laser can accurately convey is you are in danger from either bullets or a cat.
I liked it and to make sure the only thing you’re in danger of is more Tech news make sure to come back on Friday, because if you don’t, we can’t make any promises. .
