Transcripts
This Week in Tech has been a crazy one
and I'm going to keep you updated in
under 10 minutes all right let's just
get right into it by the way this is a
perfect video to watch if you know
you're enjoying your Friday afternoon
and you want to hear the latest tech
updates just put it on in the background
listen to the audio and then kind of
moldy task all right it was pretty busy
let's get right into
[Music]
it first up is around Hardware there has
been rumors swirling about what Apple
will announce this year and one thing
that Bloomberg has recently reported on
is that apple is planning to debut
completely redesigned Mac Minis that
will feature the M4 and M4 Pro Models
but I think why this is such a big deal
is it's important to note that the Mac
Mini will be the first major design
change to the machine since 2010 I mean
this is going back 14 years also it's
important to note that this is Apple's
smallest ever desktop computer now I've
tried many of Apple's different
computers and offerings you know I'm an
Apple fan and I'm actually really
excited for this this is something I
think I might look into getting what
about you all right now let's get into a
little bit more drama Tech if you will
starting with open Ai and I mean they've
been in the news for both good things
bad things recently recently it feels
like well it's kind of been imploding
now I know it hasn't been but when
you're a viewer looking from the outside
in a lot of the news articles around
open aai recently haven't been that
positive and I mean it really doesn't
help them with this recent news that
three of their Founders co-founders have
one has taken a break or an extended
leave and two have left the company in
particular one has left the company for
anthropic now anthropic is the founder
of Claude if you haven't used Claude in
my opinion you are missing out I use
Claude on a daily basis I don't even use
chat GPT anymore Claude is where it's at
I think so many people are feeling this
way based on social media what we are
seeing on the internet it just gives
such better and more accurate results
that's as someone who does uses it a lot
for coding writing creativity kind of
things now aside from open ai's Founders
leaving or some of the co-founders
leaving there's been some interesting
things I think open AI knows that it's a
little bit in trouble with a little bit
interest going to other areas especially
anthropic or Claude and here is what Sam
Alman recently tweeted about so he goes
I love summer in the garden now a lot of
people are speculating that this means
chat GPT 4.5 is coming out you can see
in the photo there are four what is it
four strawberries and another half
developed one so this is a sign people
are saying for GP T 4.5 I definitely
think this is the case I mean it's
otherwise it's an extraordinarily random
photo and there's always a backstory to
these photos now the anticipation over
the next iteration of Chachi PT has been
long awaited I'm really curious how they
will roll this out there is so much
expectation for them to perform I mean
they were the leader for so long I
really think they're kind of going down
if you will right now as a leader on one
hand I'm curious are they going to
really try and pull all their resources
together make this a massive launch
which might succeed might push the
boundaries a little too far or play it
relatively safe so here is some rumors
about the project they are saying
internal documents leaked apparently are
saying to the outlet described or the
the model described as strawberry it is
a model that Ena enables the company's
AI to not just generate answers to
queries but to plan ahead enough to
navigate the internet autonomously and
reliably to perform what open AI terms
deep research this would set itself
apart in so many levels that is one of
my biggest frustrations when I'm using
these different platforms is that it
can't just scour the internet uh readily
as we are having a conversation there
are so many times that I want it to be
in real time or uh you know plan ahead
if as they're saying and of course it's
trained on data to a certain point so if
they were able to pull this off I think
it would be a huge win I'm really
curious to see now some other outlets
for this are saying that strawberry
would be a breakthrough that's what this
GPT 4.5 is now being called in achieving
the first AGI artificial general
intelligence AGI we know it today is not
something that exists or that we are
aware exists uh and if they are able to
do that it definitely would put them
back on top of the leaderboard all right
coming in at number three is NVIDIA
Nvidia has been in the news a lot
recently for positive things but as of
this past week there's been some not so
positive things about it now to start
off with I love Nvidia it's probably one
of my favorite companies I think one of
their co-founders Jensen he is just
brilliant I I really love the company
and what they stand for but they are
having a little bit of issues right now
there are reports that they have delayed
their next AI chip due to a design flaw
so check this out Nvidia has reportedly
told Microsoft that its Blackwell b200
AI chips will take at least 3 months
longer than to produce than was
originally planned now they aren't
saying of course what this the reasoning
for this is or what is going on but it
is it does bring a lot of curiosity
around the company and I mean I don't
know where it's at as of this minute but
I know it did affect the stock a tiny
little bit so it's very interesting now
I've ever personally been to this next
one we're going to talk about what sorry
let me rephrase that I've been to this
company but I've never experienced I
it's more popular in the States from my
understanding whereas now they're
offering these companies are offering AI
drive-throughs and in particular Taco
Bell just recently announced that they
are looking to expand the use of AI
voice technology in its drive-throughs
now this has people very mixed in
reactions some people are saying wow
this is amazing you get really
personalized responses it's automated
we're using Tech in a good way the other
side no surprise is well it's affecting
jobs with AI being integrated into these
roles once it gets to a certain point
that it's good enough or I mean
apparently it already is as Taco Bell is
using it humans who are doing these jobs
won't be needed or at the very least
less of them will be needed now another
company that has been considering or
working through a lot of uh challenges
with using Ai and drive-throughs is
McDonald's and they are working in
partnership with IBM for a voice
ordering solution for a drive-thru so
this is really interesting to me I I
think it's at this really interesting
time in our lives in history where we're
seeing technology in particular AI
firsthand is something that is really
affecting all Industries I mean even a
few months ago even a year ago having
the idea of having an automated voice
system for when you go through fast food
drive-throughs we would have thought
that's terrible it's not going to be
personalized enough and now here we are
I'm curious to get your take though does
this bother you will you be impacted or
will you be frustrated when you go
through the drive-thru and you're
speaking to technology I do think it's
going to very quickly get to the point
where we won't even be able to tell all
right ending this video I want to give a
big shout out to a really interesting
GitHub repository I'm kind of been going
down a rabbit hole recently looking up
different GitHub repositories that I
find interesting to find you know
inspiration again build different things
the one I found this week which I think
is really cool to check out is called
Cog video Cog video x and what it does
is it's a model that you can download
start building with and it will turn
text to video and I've seen the results
of it I haven't tinkered around with it
fully yet but it looks super interesting
very easy to get started I'll link it
down below as well if you want to it's
not sponsored or anything like that I
just think it's really cool and I'll
make sure to always include a really
interesting get H repository at the end
of every Tech news video speaking of
which if you have any suggestions for
cool uh repositories leave them in the
comments and on that Tech news this week
is done let me know if you like these
style of videos and I'll see you all
