Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “YouTube Doubles Down”.
Good news: I have undergone an experimental operation to infuse Tech news throughout my entire body, bad news. My kidneys are now proprietary. Dark clouds appeared on the horizon for apps that allow adree viewing as YouTube published a memo indicating that they would be upping enforcement against third-party apps that violate YouTube’s terms of service, and, if that wasn’t clear enough, the next thing they say is specifically they’re. Talking about ad blocking apps, okay, I’m I’m sorry, it’s not clear whether YouTube will be complet completely blocking offending apps from using their API, but the company warned that these apps users might experience service issues like buffering, error messages and videos failing to load. Of course, these thirdparty clients could simply comply with YouTube’s terms of service and turn on ads, but I think we all know that ad blocking and free access to premium features is a significant part of the appeal for some of them.
For others, it’s just the culture. In their memo, YouTube emphasized the importance of ads in supporting creators and their content, which is an argument that I find at least somewhat persuasive, both as a Creator and a big fan of living indoors, at least somewhere, where the owner of the building knows that I’m There, the Chrome Store, however, doesn’t seem to have got the memo, seeing as it still offers several ad blocking thirdparty YouTube apps. That’S entrapment! Google, oh ad, blocking apps, so bad, so bad they’re, so bad, don’t use them. After over a decade, Boston Dynamics will be retiring. Its iconic yet terrifying human robot, human robot.
It was a human in there, the whole time, humanoid, robot Atlas and replacing it with an even scarier humanoid robot also called Atlas. That’S all for today see you later. The primary difference between the two models is that the OG Atlas used Hydraulics.
While the new Atlas is fully electric, has a fully rotating torso Limbs and head and moves like it’s been demonically possessed, that’s a feat: don’t worry, they haven’t added the firmware to make it eat babies. Yet nothing gets me excited for the robot future, like abject Terror. Why did they introduce it like that? I don’t know they introduced it like a villain in a horror movie over the course of its development.
Atlas has gone from barely being able to balance pathetic to performing ambitious Feats of athleticism, but we’ve yet to see popular adoption of these kinds of humanoid robots, primarily because this one wasn’t for sale. Tech companies clearly think we’re on the verge of a Tipping Point. Given the amount of investment there’s been in new Android Concepts from companies like figure and optronic, even though neither of them can spin their head like the chick from The Exorcist. This one can, though, the United Kingdom has passed a new law, criminalizing the creation of sexually explicit, deep fakes without consent in what appears to be a legal fur. First, offenders prosecuted under the law would most likely face a criminal conviction and a fine with jail time. As a possibility, if the offender also shares or distributes this now illegal material aspiring, adult filmmakers will still have the option of creating filth, featuring consenting people, fake people and, of course, popular serial mascots, I mean those options are great: oh man, non-consensual deep, fake pornography has Been been a problem for years, but the proliferation of deep fakes as AI technology becomes more and more sophisticated, has apparently brought the issue to the Forefront of the legislative agenda.
Uk officials are also apparently in the early stages of drafting legislation, to more closely regulate AI. In general, but I bet we could speed up the process significantly by sending our legislators AI generated photos of themselves. Robbing banks seem important now I weep for the AI future, but I also weep for the future where people see that and think it’s real all of our parliamentarians, the agriculture Minister, but you can Bank on having dry feet thanks to today’s sponsor vessie, they say their Shoes are 100 % waterproof thanks to their diatex technology.
You might find torrential downpours a bit sad, but your vessie shoes find them hilarious. Why do it’s nothing Spring weather can be unpredictable, but vess’s stormburst and weekend. Chelsea are ready for anything with the comfort of a sneaker and and the warmth and higher top of a boot, and when the skies clear up their Soho and everyday classic, sneakers are great for just wearing about, while still being ready to defend your feet against moisture Ingress with their lives, now that’s loyalty head over to vessie docomo in a long long time, 24 hours at least America’s Federal Communications Commission is a week away from voting on rules enforcing net neutrality.
The idea that internet service providers should have a neutral stance towards all Network traffic, treating it all equally, but critics say that while the proposed rules forbid isps from slowing down certain types of traffic, speeding up some traffic say gaming or streaming video by putting it in Fast Lanes would be allowed thanks to a feature of 5G networks called Network slicing. All internet traffic would still be equal. Some would just be more more equal than others.
The US has had net neutrality rules before they were first adopted in 2015 before being unadopted in 2018. I’M assuming because the FCC found out the child they’d welcomed into their home was actually Satan’s. Baby altstore pal, the first consumer, focused thirdparty, app Marketplace for iOS, has launched in the European Union opening up a new Avenue for iPhone users to discover countless new apps, it’s nice right now. Altstore has two apps. Oh, that’s not countless at all.
There’S Delta a rare Nintendo console emulator and clip a clipboard manager, both developed by the same guy, that made alt store Riley test it. It is a name with the EU investigating whether Apple’s new rules are Kosher or not. Apple’S alternative app store rules may change further, but should be fine Riley’s, just testing it out. It’S a different last name than mine tsmc has reportedly shared 200,000 kilowatt hours of energy from its backup power generators with the rest of the Taiwanese power grid to help prevent power. Outages Taiwan of course suffered a massive earthquake only two weeks ago, which caused eight of the country’s major power generators to fail tsmc, a critical part of the global semiconductor supply chain. Only paused work for a day to allow for safety inspections in part, because the company has prioritized earthquake preparedness ever since taiwan’s last major quake in 1999, they’re so prepared that their buildings offer earthquake protection, 25 % above the illegally mandated standard. Honestly, if the bombs ever do drop, the post-apocalyptic Wasteland is getting repopulated by tsmc workers who just happen to be on shift. Nasa is going to send a giant nuclear powerered, robot dragonfly to Saturn’s largest moon, just regular science things. It sounds like a plan. Someone came up with, will they or high it sounds like the next Spy Kids movie.
The rotorcraft is planned to be launched in 2028, though it won’t reach Saturn’s moon, Titan until 2034, because Titan is I’m, I’m told very far away. It’S also rich in organic molecules, which is why NASA is launching this mission. In the first place.
The complex chemistry of this Moon, reminiscent of pre-life Earth, could give scientists insight into the origin of life in the solar system. Its secondary objective is to make me feel way less cool about what I do for work, and I don’t appreciate it. I would love to fly a robot dragonfly. No one asks me and a startup called azit announced paint cam Eve, an AI powered security camera that can fire paint balls containing either UV paint or tear gas at Intruders, and you thought the last story started with a wild sentence.
The UV paint is meant to allow police to identify Intruders after the fact, while the tear gas is literally tear gas, I mean it’s self-explanatory makes them think of sad things. There are several models available with the higher-end versions, unlocking the ability to recognize animals and human faces. Like all great ideas, paint cam Eve will launch on Kickstarter on April 23rd. You’Ll have the chance to actively Advance the death of humanity by funding an AI weaponization campaign.
I love when Kickstarter campaigns are also military campaigns. The next generation of neighbor to neighbor Warfare, but you’ll have the chance on Friday to watch more Tech news H. Even better there will be a 0 % chance of tear gas .
