the welcome to tech stuff, a production from I heart, radio, the key there and welcome to tech stuff? I'm your host Jonathan Strickland, I'm an executive producer with iheart podcasts and how the tech are yet it's time for the tech news for third they november knife, twenty twenty three and let's start off this episode with a sincere get well soon for apple co. Founder Steve was niac reuters reports that, while in mexico city was niac, admitted himself to the hospital, they are actually conflicting reports as to what prompted this move. and in the absence of solid information, I think it just makes sense for us to say we hope you feel better, very dude, Mr Wozniak. For those of you who are not familiar with his name was the act was the other steve who created apple, the other one, of course, being steve jobs.

and between the two of them was. The act was really the big tech geek. He was the programmer. He was the phone free key It's the mischievous man who always wanted to know how stuff worked and he's been sort of this kind of beloved figure in the tech world. For several decades, and hopefully, he'll be writers. Rain very soon see Hence Brian Fung has a piece titled mark Zuckerberg personally rejected meadows proposals to improve teen mental health court documents allege as that headline indicates. This is pretty ugly stuff. So, according to these documents, these internal documents from mehta numerous people inside the company, including top executives like Adam Masri. These ceo of instagram repeatedly brought matters relating to teen mental health and wellbeing,

two Zuckerberg attention only to be shut down. The article really paints Zuckerberg as attack executive, unconcerned about what impact his company might have on its users. Are that really plays into this popular perception of Zuckerberg, a sort of an unfeeling, robotic sort of person who has a reputation for expecting his his staff to carry out his decisions without objections? Now one example that was cited in the article relates to the beach The filters on instagram, I'm sure most of y'all are familiar with these, but just in case you're. Not these are digital filters that apply some alterations to images. So you take an image with your phone. The filter changes them slightly and the whole goal is to make the final image appear more attractive, so The argument goes that, as teens encounter picture after picture of impossibly birth

people their own sense of self begins to suffer theirs a worry that these kinds of users will start to feel like there, an ugly outsider when all the folks on the phone seemed alive. Perfect lives have perfect skin and travel to, perfect places. Of course, any of you all who have actually interacted with an influence her. You probably have this all figured out there, just as messed up as the rest of us, sometimes even more so, I'm actually remit did of a recent walk. I took in a park. Where I saw a young person doing the whole influence or thing and working very hard to make a completely artificial seen appear to be something they just naturally happened upon. I can tell you the process to get to that final picture was anything but natural, but that's obviously just any

notable not really evidence the point, as it appears as those occur burg, has consistently and repeatedly scuttled any efforts to make changes to meadows various platforms out of a concern for the well being of users thou. I don't think we can go so far as to say that matter is accompany ruled by a person who is only can turned with that company or that all the other leaders in mecca are somehow these valiant warriors trying to do what's right. It's obviously way more complicated than that, but this is, as the kids used to say, not a good luck for Mr Zuckerberg. He added

The company are in an ongoing lawsuit suit. That's why these documents were even uncovered in the first place. It's all part of that law suit that was brought against the company by the state of massachusetts and will have to see how these revelations affect the case. Already beady at ziyadi net has an article titled. Microsoft reveals plans to protect elections from deep fakes and other information. So here on textile I've talked about concerns regarding, say, generative, ay I and deep fakes at other times maladies. They have the capacity to threaten the process of democracy, because when you get down to it you don't even really have to directly attack democracy in order to weaken it. You just have to show that it's possible to attack democracy because of people

convinced that nothing they see as reliable. They lose faith in the system and the whole thing starts to crumble. Now we're not quite there yet and that's why efforts to push back against technology that does pose a threat to fair elections and other democratic processes is important. Microsoft's approach is to institute what they call a five per plan to fight back now among those parts there's one that is about introducing a new kind of tool that they're calling the content credentials as a service tool. This would let someone who create some form of digital content sign that work did

Billy, and that digital signature would travel with the content wherever it happens to go. So if someone clicks through they'll see the person responsible for that piece of content is meant to ensure things like transparency and accountability. That's one little example of what microsoft is planning. As some other birds. The plan include assisting in educating various campaigns and candidates as they navigate a world. The now has this power or I enabled technology in it too. No surprise at all microsoft plan also includes a really voting being search as being the most reliable when it comes to presenting real information and weeding out your misinformation and a generator, stuff so we'll see how that goes, because so far beings command of web search has been. Let's call it. Underwhelming, although at the same time, Google is currently involved in a huge anti trust, lawsuit that implies

Art hinges on how google has used various measures, such as paying a nor sums to other companies like apple, in order to guarantee that google search would be a default option on lots of devices. Sir maybe in the future being, will have of a larger or of the market because Google will be forced to break up will have to see, if you're a lego fan- and you have an account on the online market- place brick link, then it's time to hit those bricks, because the company has detected a breach in its systems, and there has been some gordon glowed suspicious activity on the brick link online marketplace. So at this marketplace, folks can sell parts and accessories were lego. Other folks can obviously by them it's just an online exchange place for that kind of stuff and apparently some bad actor. Some hackers got unauthorized access to some seller,

accounts and started to sell stuff off at insane discounts and divert payments to themselves as opposed to the actual seller, who should have been in control the whole thing and the company says it's likely. that what happened was these hackers did some credentials stuffing they they found some compromised user names and passwords on the internet. They applied those over on brick lake and they found a few that worked and that that's what they ve been. Doing up. They did announce that the hackers had issued a ransom where demand from the company, but they said, there's no evidence that the hackers actually got access to any company system. So that's why they're saying like. We think that this is not an actual ransom where intrusion, but rather someone being able to use passwords to hack into accounts. So they do suggests that users who have a brick link account go in and up day their past

word to a strong password, that's unique just for that service. You should be doing that anyway. You should not be re using the same password over and over again just a bad idea, because all it takes is one thing to get compromised and then they have the skeleton key to all of your accounts. You don't want to do that, so just that that was interesting, but it was hitting the lego community. Now it should come as a surprise that amazon, Israel currently working on a massive artificial intelligence model. Of course it is it's a huge company and the other huge companies are likewise hard at work at creating language models. According to business inciter,

The amazon model currently has the code name olympus, which seems pretty darn humble I mean it's, the home of the gods and everything the information reports further, that amazon plans to integrate this large language model into lots of stuff that faces customers like its online store and in that smart speaker line of products that have that woman's name that I won't say just so. I dont acts we said any off near you, then reuters reports that olympus is actually a much larger large language model then even opened eyes, famous gb, tee in fact twice as large. That does not necessarily mean it's better, but it bigger rumour has it that amazon will be unveiling its plans for a I next month and that we might find out how this could be incorporated into amazon products moving

the word and whether accessing those features will require some sort of additional subscription or something on us. My related note, the hollywood strike with sag afterall has come to a close. Is the one that involved the union represented actors in hollywood, so that

strike is probably to a close, I should say, because the strike leaders were finally able to negotiate a deal with the a m. P t p, that's organization that represents like the producers and hollywood studios, but there are few components that need to happen like there has to be a full vote from the union to support this deal before it's well and truly in place of most folks seem to think that that is going to happen this week and there's some things in that deal that touch on tech, which is why I'm talking about it part of it, has to do with things like residual payments for stuff. That's on streaming services, as opposed to on more traditional media like film or television like there were really established way

to determine how much money an actor would receive from stuff. They had done continuing to perform well in movies or on tv or whatever, but there was there is less clarification in the streaming world, because that's a relatively new form of media so there are some elements of that in their there's also elements that have to do with generative, artificial intelligence, nike, I need details because so far the terms of the deal are undisclosed, but the union as a whole will vote to ratify the deal pretty soon and assuming that happens, business will be back to whatever passes. For normal in hollywood, okay, we're going to take a quick break when we come back. We've got some more tech news stories now

In that anti trust matter I mentioned earlier. The company is also pushing against apple over in the EU. Google, reportedly as petitioning lawmakers in the eu to force apple to stop gate keeping The infamous I message at the EU has a law called the digital markets act and Google argues that apples. I message is not in alignment with that law and that law says that

apple should allow. I message to integrate seamlessly with all other messaging platforms, and this really comes down to text bubbles and what color? They are right, like whether their blue agree it's crazy to me that that's what it really comes down to its even crazier that people would actually judged someone if their text bubble in a group chat. Was the court unquote wrong color than the old somehow there are not as good a person because they have a different kind of technology there. They don't have an iphone they're using an android phone. I guess I should Be surprised by that I mean, after all, I've seen the exact same sort of tribalism. Stick behavior in the gaming community forever right. You just ask a group of gamers: what's better playstation or xbox, then you watch the blood fly. So I guess it isn't that big a surprise. It's just kind of pathetic

if you ask me any way, apple says that it already meets the requirements of the digital markets act. So I guess we'll see of Google's push for this wins out or not. If it does, it may mean that we won't have those different colors of text bubbles in the future and we'll have to judge people on other things. You know like whether or not they're a good person. Meanwhile apple is potentially facing a big old tax bill in the E. U specifically the as of tax breaks, that the company got from ireland, so this matter has actually a very long history. The way it works as that several years ago, The government of ireland extended some hefty tax breaks apple to attract apple, to build a facility, in ireland to essentially make ireland its foothold for europe and other parts of the world, but these tax breaks were themselves according to

one court case, not entirely legal, so this whole mess goes to court, and originally the court agrees that the tax breaks were not legal. That apple therefore owed billions of dollars worth of back taxes, and then apple appealed this decision three years ago. Another court overturned the earlier judgment, and now a lawyer advising the european union says that the decision to overturn was itself incorrect, that it was guided by a bunch of legal errors, and the court made a mistake in overturning the original court's decision again apple and that apple should therefore end up forking over around thirteen billion. With a b euro worth of back,

access is at the heart of the matter is whether or not the tax breaks. Ireland offered to apple constitute what the EU defines as cordon quote: state aid, so every member state in the EU actually governs its own tax laws, but the eu as a whole has authority over matters where a government offers government backed aid to say a giant corporation. So, as obi wan would put it. It all depends upon your point of view. Obviously, apple reps argue that that interpretation is not accurate. The most recent court decision to overturn the the ruling against apple. really the right one and that one should stand. Ireland's government also protests being said that to have offered state aid to apple, ireland says: that's not what it did. It creates an incentive to bring

apple over to ireland. In order to turn ireland into a kind of a high tech hub for companies, must lee originating from the united states to have a a ace of operations for the rest of the european union- the whole Darren story is taxing. If you ask me speaking of tat, the authorities in ITALY say that airbus and be Andy landlords using air being be have not been paying taxes, at least not to the level that they should be and as such The italian authorities are getting ready to seize more than eight hundred thirty million dollars from airbus and be as a result, whether these authorities will also turn their wrath to the actual landlords. That remains to be seen. As so far, I have just seen mention of only it'd be so a lot of places around the world have been striking out against airbus. Be recently the city of new york has lots of other places

there are a lot of places that have issues with housing availability that have been really critical of air being be so. The complaint is that landlords or scooping up properties that should be going to residence and instead there using them for short term rentals. Meanwhile, you ve got an ongoing housing crisis in some. these places. Obviously, in ITALY The issue also involves failing to pay the appropriate amount in taxes on these rental agreements. airbus be rep, say, unsurprisingly, they are disappointed by the decision to go after their money. They also claimed that they have operated within the law? The company? has the right to appeal, which I can't imagine them not doing. I'm sure they will and seen in business indicates that the we'll process for the authorities to get this money.

It is not exactly straightforward. It's not it's not like it's easy to do so. It may be that this matter drags on for a very long time, but it really extends beyond tech into the political and financial rounds. I just thought there was worth talking about because, like a lot of other companies, particularly in silicon valley, airbus and be with us, then get the label of being disruptive, and I just think it's good to remember that some times when you're disrupt Sooner or later, the establishment hits back and it's usually much bigger than you are thus not saying that the right thing, but it's certainly something that can happen, and I think that's what we're seeing with airbus and be now does is see you bob eiger, addressed investors in a recent earnings. Call. One thing he mentioned is that starting next month. The company will roll out a beta test of streaming up that combines both disney bless and hulu into us.

Well service. This has long been rumored to be in the works and disney is currently in the process of acquiring comcast's. Thirty three per cent stake in hulu for around eight point: six billion dollars at least uygur, indicated that the plan is to roll out the service in full sometime next spring. So it sounds like only people who are currently subscribed both to disney plus and to hulu at the moment, are going to have access to this beta program in the short term, which means I'm out. I'm just on disney plus I haven't done hulu yet so I'll have to keep waiting, there's a bunch of stuff on hulu. I want to see, but I've been dragging my feet, because I was pretty sure that this thing was going to happen. and, lastly, I want to poor one out for amigo the online service. that would match strangers up in chats video chats online. So even if you know we used to make before I bet you can guess that alot of people took the opportunity to being randomly matched with a stranger

in a semi anonymous way to engage in behaviour. That lets say was questionable. There was never a shortage of stories about people on a legal harassing folks or using things like racist slurs or Exposing themselves that was one that was frequently mentioned, or attempting to groom young users really disturbing stuff like that, there are no short videos about that online to, but other folks made really creative artistic uses of o gold. There's some great compilation, videos on youtube of musicians. Who would delight strangers by playing like a personal concert for them just by being matched up to them. That kind of stuff, I think, is super awesome and I'm sorry that that's going to go, I love the idea of strangers being able to connect with each other and just have a conversation. You never know where that's going to go. The problem is the bad actors were right

really really bad and that overall gave a stain on omega.
