Then they dig into the new Surface products from the Microsoft event and David explains why the move to ARM is such a big deal. To close it out they talk about a feature that Rivian is adding to its cars and a different feature Tesla is removing from its cars. Enjoy!

    David is mistaken, before the Surface Pro X there were 3 Windows on Arm PCs that ran on a Snapdragon 835. There was the Asus NovaGo, Hp Envy 2x, and the Lenovo Miix 630. Aside from Surface RT dreams... the Pro X was not the first time they tried and OEMs tried also (Nokia made an RT tablet) it always just sucked.

    That's because with earlier attempts at ARM PCs there were no options. Everything was phone processors. In fact the surface pro x had a modified Qualcomm 855 processor with added PC necessities like extra PCIe lanes. It wasn't until Qualcomm acquired Nuvia and the key leaders and chip designers behind the M processors that they had a serious chip for PCs.

    I wouldn’t have a problem with recall if it were opt-in. Having it be opt-out is a massive security risk.
    Imagine forgetting to opt-out of a certain website or app with sensitive data, and now you have loads of images of that data stored on your computer. Even if it is encrypted the private key will still have to be kept locally, which means malware will be able to access it. It’s just another attack vector for hackers.
    Also public computers will likely have this enabled by default, which means that everything you do will be recorded, and anyone that knows about the feature can access a log of everything you did.

    39:54 The surface pro X was not the first attempt by Microsoft to run Windows on arm, it's not even the first surface to do it. They actually tried it in 2012 (!) with Windows RT (a version of Windows 8.1).
    I know this because my brother and father each bought one not knowing how limited the OS was and absolutely hated it.
    My brother now has a Intel surface pro and absolutely loves it. I'm not touching this attempt at Arm until maybe a year or so down the line when others have really tested it.

Also, the Sky voice was released last year, prior to Sam reaching out to scarjo. Horribly dumb optics (did they not pay attention to the hollywood strike last year?) but I really don't see how OpenAI ends up getting in legal trouble here. that said, its been absolute 🍿 watching how far people have twisted this story on social media.

    Hot take: the voice of Sky is based on a fictional character in the movie “Her” which happens to be played by Scarlett Johansson.
    Johansson should not be able to prevent someone else from creating a parody based off of that fictional character based on the fact that it is flirty and takes form as a similar technology to the one in the film.
    While the inflections are similar in many cases, the voice is clearly voiced by a different actor. Any expert could tell you the same.

      Parody or satire might be fair use. But this is not parody. It is commercial use. That the AI is voiced by a different actor is not a good defense. The AI is modeled on Johansson's performance for commercial purposes. This cannot be done without her permission or without compensating her. The producers of the film might also have a case.

      ​@@brachiator1Parody law extends to commercial use, at least in entertainment. Weird Al made a career of it. You may be right that it wouldn't extend outside of entertainment. That said, I don't think parody is what OpenAI is angling for anyway.
      If I were OpenAI's attorney and OpenAI were being sued by Johansen I would argue that Johansen's performance in Her doesn't really do anything unique that can be copywritten outside of the actual visual and audio recording made on set. She certainly doesn't doesn't own the rights to be flirtatious and girly. The implications of Johansen winning such a case would severely limit the capability of AI/Human interfaces to imitate personality at all.
      Even in the case where OpenAi hired a different voice actor (which they allegedly did) and asked her to reference Johansen's performance in Her I believe they should be completely within their rights to do so. I'd be surprised to learn of any US laws that would actually prevent OpenAI from acting in this way.
      I bet the writer/director of Her would have a better legal claim, although it's interesting to note that they probably ripped the concept from Siri.

      ARM and X86 devices have fundamentally different chips, they are physically different. In order to run MS Windows on ARM, it basically had to be re-written to work, and every program you run on Windows ARM will have to either be modified or go through a "conversion" of types to run.
      Think of it like diesel vs gas/petrol cars. From the outside they're both internal combustion engines, but they're fundamentally different in how they work.
      While Apple has already moved their range of macbooks etc over to ARM with the M series SoC's, and has conversion at a hardware level, MS Windows has less control over the hardware it is installed onto. MS Windows must also support X86 Intel products etc. It's another huge layer of complexity and goes against the KISS principle in engineering design.
