[0.49] Whoa, [1.32]
[1.42] I've been swimming in tech news all morning [3.69]
[3.92] and I would say come on in the water's fine, [6.39]
[6.39] but It's not here. [9.05]
[9.05] Let me dry off [10.51]
[10.94] While Chinese AI company deep seek didn't fully burst the AI bubble [15.96]
[15.96] It did send Nvidia stock into a tailspin this week [19.21]
[19.21] as investors questioned the need for Nvidia GPUs [22.34]
[22.34] When DeepSeek's models are just so dang efficient [25.13]
[25.76] But maybe part of the reason they are so efficient [28.19]
[28.24] is because DeepSeek didn't spend any time developing jailbreak defenses [32.46]
[32.76] AI security researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Cisco [36.44]
[36.44] found that DeepSeek's reasoning model R1 Completely failed to protect itself [42.46]
[42.46] against a barrage of 50 popular chat bot jailbreak techniques [46.76]
[47.45] Which I'll admit sounds very disorienting [49.88]
[50.0] DeepSeek also apparently didn't devote any time [52.7]
[52.7] to protecting their internal database of user Chat histories and API key [56.85]
[57.52] which was found by security researchers from wiz [59.94]
[59.94] Just sitting there without even a password to protect it [63.65]
[63.65] between that and the whole sending data to China thing [66.47]
[66.47] multiple countries are banning Restricting or investigating the use of DeepSeek models [71.79]
[71.79] including Italy Taiwan South Korea France [74.16]
[74.16] and even Belgium Who's usually pretty chill [77.33]
[77.33] but DeepSeek hype remains high [79.36]
[79.36] and OpenAI had to do something [81.73]
[81.73] So they launched their o3-mini reasoning model [84.89]
[84.89] Which surpasses a one particularly in science math and coding performance [89.18]
[89.18] and also doesn't immediately tell you how to make cocaine and explosives when you ask nicely [95.03]
[95.03] or worse explosive cocaine [97.56]
[97.56] limited use of o3-mini is free through ChatGPT [100.98]
[100.98] But paid users can use it more [103.48]
[103.48] with $200 chat GPT pro subscribers getting unlimited use [107.32]
[107.87] Meanwhile Microsoft now offers Open AI's o1 model through the think deeper feature [112.9]
[112.9] in its Copilot assistant for free [114.84]
[114.84] And despite saying it's investigating [117.05]
[117.05] whether DeepSeek improperly used open AI models to train their own [121.0]
[121.0] Microsoft is also hosting DeepSeek R1 on its cloud services [126.65]
[126.65] But you know what they say [128.15]
[128.15] keep your friends close and your enemies safely contained in a server farm [132.18]
[132.44] NVIDIA wasn't kidding when it warned about stock shortages for the RTX 50 series cards [137.66]
[138.19] when they launched yesterday inventory for the RTX 5090 and 5080 [141.56]
[141.56] sold out in minutes [144.37]
[144.37] at retailers across the US, the UK, and probably elsewhere. [149.11]
[149.11] Sorry, I didn't check every country. [151.07]
[151.07] In some European countries, it almost seemed like stock was never there in the first place [156.25]
[156.25] thanks to the leak of a distributor order link. [159.4]
[159.4] And if you're thinking, wow, people are more passionate about top tier PC gaming than ever. [164.41]
[164.89] Oh, my sweet summer child. [167.65]
[167.65] This was reportedly due to incredibly low stock numbers and determined scalpers [173.54]
[173.54] with RTX 5090s being listed for as high as 9,000 USD on eBay. [179.37]
[179.37] YouTuber JayZtwoCents tweeted yesterday [182.48]
[182.48] that he spotted a 5090 he had just signed at a micro center launch event that morning [188.55]
[188.55] being listed on Facebook marketplace for $5,800. [192.35]
[192.35] Now all that, despite the RTX 5080 representing objectively bad value [197.8]
[197.8] compared to previous 80 series cards [200.12]
[200.12] as laid out. So clearly in this glorious graph [203.54]
[203.54] made by Paul's hardware for his recent video. [206.35]
[206.35] Paul, really knocked it out of the park with this graph. [210.17]
[210.17] It's a good graph, Paul. [212.3]
[212.3] But hey, it's not all bad news. [214.19]
[214.19] Nvidia also surprise dropped a new feature in its GPU driver called smooth motion, [220.33]
[220.33] a spatial frame interpolation feature, [222.73]
[222.73] which can bring less powerful frame generation to almost any game. [227.17]
[227.17] Kind of like AMD's fluid motion frames, [229.79]
[230.43] which would be cool if Nvidia didn't say that for now. It's exclusive to the RTX 50 series, [235.96]
[236.23] which is, you know, if you didn't catch it earlier, so out of stock, [240.39]
[240.39] stores are sending people home with paper vouchers just to feel like they got something. [244.71]
[244.71] [CUT] [285.19]
[285.37] I dried myself off, but I still feel like a sticky residue. [288.97]
[289.98] Oh, it's because there's still a quick bits. [291.47]
[291.47] Intel released their company financial results yesterday and [295.31]
[295.31] you can find the link in our news sources below [298.63]
[298.63] but I wouldn't [300.03]
[300.03] unless you just kind of want to feel sad. [301.81]
[301.81] Team Blue says Panther Lake laptop CPUs are coming later in 2025, [306.79]
[306.79] but Nova Lake, the successor to the truly depressing Arrow Lake [311.7]
[311.7] desktop chips aren't expected until 2026. [315.71]
[316.17] Intel also announced that rather than competing with Nvidia's AI accelerators, [320.67]
[320.67] they're canceling their Falcon Shores AI GPU for now, [324.51]
[325.02] giving off some real Eeyore energy. [327.37]
[327.37] It probably wouldn't have been any good. [330.79]
[330.79] But hey, it's not like Intel is done yet. [333.21]
[333.21] Microsoft just announced their existing Surface Pro and Surface laptop for businesses [338.13]
[338.13] can be configured with Intel Lunar Lake processors instead of Qualcomm Snapdragon X chips. [344.29]
[344.29] They'll just cost around $400 extra. [347.73]
[348.35] For the privilege of feeling like you've been Thanos snapped but you're disintegrating extra slowly. [353.82]
[354.35] Apple has filed a motion to delay proceedings in Google's antitrust trial [359.08]
[359.08] after a judge denied the company's request to intervene in the case. [364.53]
[364.53] It's a heartwarming story of massive tech giants sticking up for each other [368.62]
[368.62] because one wants to continue getting paid $20 billion a year [372.55]
[372.55] to have Google be the default search engine in Safari. [375.75]
[376.35] Wow. [377.65]
[377.65] I mean, without that money, Apple might have to cancel more projects [380.84]
[380.84] like the Mac-connected AR glasses, [383.9]
[384.23] which are no longer in development [385.7]
[385.7] according to master of Apple secrets, Neil Gurmstrong, [389.45]
[389.45] by which I mean Mark Gurman. [391.75]
[391.75] Don't worry, [392.25]
[392.25] Meta's Mark Zuckerberg told investors he plans on selling billions of AR glasses. [398.28]
[398.49] So there'll be lots to go around. [400.69]
[401.15] We'll just have little pairs where you just slap on babies right out of the womb. [404.62]
[404.62] And you know what? [405.27]
[405.27] Let's have some positive stories to round off this episode [408.64]
[408.68] After launching Spider-Man 2 on Steam this week, [411.67]
[411.67] Sony announced the game won't require players to sign in with a PlayStation Network account [416.49]
[416.49] and neither will God of War Ragnarok, [418.85]
[418.85] The Last of Us Part II Remastered [420.8]
[420.8] and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. [423.43]
[423.43] Okay. [424.31]
[424.64] Also the Video Game History Foundation opened digital access [428.45]
[428.45] to more than 30,000 files in its archive of game materials. [432.21]
[432.21] And there's no playable games, [434.17]
[434.17] but there's some cool art. [437.32]
[437.34] and if you're looking for a quick way to get a real search result [439.84]
[439.84] instead of Google's AI overviews, [442.49]
[442.49] just make your search sound more angry with some curse words. [446.04]
[446.35] It'll skip right to the good shit. [448.4]
[448.77] Fuck Yeah. [449.68]
[450.15] And you better be here on Monday for more tech news [453.48]
[453.48] or so help me, [454.55]
[454.55] I'll have some choice words for you. [457.16]
[457.85] Like, [458.41]
[458.41] I miss you. [460.1]
[461.13] Please [462.09]
[462.09] reconsider your decision. [463.2]
