oh thank God you're here I've been
absorbing Tech news all day and my head
is starting to feel like a balloon
filled with concrete but now I can let
it all out Come Share in my pain Google
is reportedly considering charging users
for AI powered searches once the tech
giant presumably comes up with a better
name than search generational experience
it has to be good if it's going to
endure the year and a half before Google
kills it the report came from the
financial times and Google has not
denied that it entertains those thoughts
partially due to the rise of other AI
powered conversational search tools
which make it a lot harder to plunk
misleading sponsored Links at the top of
search results just how pay Walling
Google's AI search would stop users from
turning to other AI tools that skim
regular Google search results isn't
clear and neither is the answer to
whether open AI used YouTube videos to
train its wildly impressive video
generator Sora Youtube CEO Neil Mohan
said says if they did that would break
YouTube's rules a clarification it was
necessary for him to make after open AI
CTO Mera moradi told the Wall Street
Journal she's actually not sure about
whether Sora was trained on YouTube
videos but not before taking a full 3
seconds to gift the internet with a new
reaction phas for all the AI Zoomers in
other AI news courtesy of the king of
Apple rumor dispersion Mark
German near rhym's not bad now that
Apple's accepted that the Apple car
isn't happening it's begun research on
an AI powerered home robot that could
follow its user around their home so Tim
Cook can see what you're up to oh you're
going to make a cup of tea now that's oh
no it's
coffee I love that such an ey robot
which I think legally could not be its
name May benefit from Apple's recent
extensive research into optimizing
language models to run on low powerered
Hardware like iPhones I don't have a
transition into this last AI story but
guess what weo autonomous cars are now
delivering food to Uber Eats customers
in Phoenix Arizona because AI is
supposed to have taken all our jobs by
now we got to speed this up Windows is
being ditched in favor of Linux by sches
Holstein one of Germany's 16 States and
probably the name of a bottle drink you
can't afford the state government's
approximately 30,000 employees will be
joining the Linux Legion and replacing
their use of various other Microsoft
services like SharePoint and Outlook
with open- Source options like nextcloud
and Mozilla Thunderbird Ascend my
children join me the state already
announced plans to switch from Microsoft
Office to Libra office back in 2021 and
it looks like their resolve has only
been strengthened since probably thanks
to Microsoft Edge continuing to act like
the browser version of Legend of Zelda's
Navi with ADHD
Hey listen hey this isn't the first time
a German region has tried to quit
Microsoft though the city of Munich
switched to Linux back in 2003 but
eventually came crawling back in 2017
open source software has come a long way
though so to the state government
employees of sches Holstein allowing us
to say this to you feel cluke Microsoft
announced a breakthrough in Quantum
Computing error correction that could
crucially allow quantum computers to
actually be used to compute things
instead of what they're used for now
which is generating esoteric press
releases by pairing Microsoft's new
Cubit virtualization system with ion
trap Hardware made by a company called
quanum I'm assuming as a joke
researchers from the two companies were
able to run more than 14,000 individual
experiments without a single error and
they even diagnosed and corrected
logical cubits without destroying them a
development that gave Microsoft's VP of
quantum Computing Goosebumps and I think
gave me a second headache I mean it does
sound kind of dope though it sounds
great in all seriousness though as far
as my puny mind can tell this is a big
step forward for this technology and
Jacob says it is too and so he knows
about space I mean I only stud I study
astrophysics it's such a big step that
Microsoft is announcing the industry is
now moving from level one foundational
to level two resilient Quantum Computing
a proclamation that for me kind of
skirts the line between the George Bush
Mission Accomplished banner and Google
declaring Quantum Supremacy back in 2019
like the tech giant version of Michael
Scott a much better thing to declare is
that this video is brought to you by War
Thunder the free-to-play and
comprehensive vehicular combat game War
Thunder's realism goes beyond just
Graphics write down to how it feels to
Pilot the vehicles or how it feels to
tear a tank apart with your bear hands
not except for the hand part and now
there's over 2500 different war machines
all throughout history for you to choose
from get started free today on PC and
consoles simply by clicking the link
below what are quick bits for the answer
look deep inside your
mind not that deep that's oh oh God Roku
the Portland Main of smart TV makers
apparently wants to become the bond
villain of smart TV makers by showing
ads on the company's TVs even when
you're just using it to play Xbox or PS5
Roku filed a patent for a system that
would allow Roku TVs to detect when a
device connected to it via HDMI has
paused at which point the TV can display
an ad I mean what you're not using it
you might as well the patent also
explores ways to determine what content
you are interacting with of course so
they can display more relevant ads it's
not just evil it's boring evil this is
why Amazon Amazon and Google are beating
you you could be evil but like be
interesting you know that's all I'm
saying YouTube is experimenting with a
new feature called Jump Ahead among a
limited group of YouTube premium
subscribers they say the feature will
skip right to what its algorithm thinks
you're looking for based on a user's
behavioral data they also said AI a
whole bunch which has got to be a
compulsion of some kind how it works is
that after a user double Taps on mobile
to skip forward 10 seconds they'll be
given a button that lets them Jump Ahead
to whatever the computer thinks is the
next best moment for you which is
probably when Riley Murdoch whips out
his Tim Cook impression haha he is so
funny that Riley Jessica you really
think I'm
funny no Sony has announced a new medium
format image sensor with a whopping
247 megapixels in a package
approximately the same size as the 150
megapixel sensor in Hassel blood's h6d
series cameras break that down for me Ry
dog that's exciting isn't it Andy Y and
while it's true that photographers and
videographers are so over the megapixel
race it's unquestionably noteworthy that
a medium format sensor could produce an
image with a resolution of
19,200 by
12,800 pixels 19k by 12 you just bought
an 8K TV you look so stupid right now to
be fair according to Sony's website this
sensor is for industrial use in visual
inspection devices but such sensors have
found their way into consumer cameras
before so this was definitely worth
telling you about a San Diego startup
has designed a new chip architecture
that can run CPU GPU and AI workloads
simultaneously on the same cores startup
X silicon Inc hopes their C GPU platform
will be heavily adopted in segments with
strict powerto performance ratios like
the automotive and embedded Computing
markets the startups work joins the
likes of Libra s so an open- source
project that apparently had its funding
pulled in February oh that's that's too
bad hopefully X silicon won't have that
issue since they're making cgp open
standard it's like open source except
that it's very different and you get to
make money and nothing the tech company
has announced two upcoming nothing
earbuds on the nothing website by which
I mean
however it seems that following the
nothing ear 2 they've decided to go the
valve route and give up on trying to
count any higher they've thus announced
the nothing ear and the lower end
nothing ear Open Bracket lowercase a
closed bracket all right according to
nothing they've removed the numbers in
order to focus on the product and the
unique experience it delivers which is a
bit like admitting you can't walk and
chew gum at the same time time it's hard
but I can thank you for watching at the
same time as I tell you to come back on
Monday for more Tech news it's not
actually true because I did that
sequentially
but come relative
