Microsoft recently entered a ten-year agreement with British tech company EE in order to extend their cloud service and mobile gaming. it’s no secret that the tech giant wants to make gaming a completely digital ecosystem, where gamers can access games from a digital library, play them, and return them to the cloud. Microsoft made the announcement of the agreement with EE, but has provided few details on what the ten-year partnership will entail. Could this partnership help Microsoft reach its goal of creating a fully digital gaming ecosystem with the broadest reach yet?

SUMMARY

Projektitachi and WarNurse are the hosts of the GZ Chop Shop podcast, a weekly tech and gaming media podcast that discusses the latest news and laws. In this episode, they talk about the outcry to stop research on AI advancement for six months, which is backed by Elon Musk and other AI developers. The petition that was created had thousands of names, but many of them were fake. However, it still carries weight as Musk and other big names in AI development are supporting it. This was sparked by the OpenAI’s GPT-4 program, which has evolved to the point of being able to hold human-level conversations. One year ago, a Google engineer who was working on AI development but was let go tried to warn people of the danger, but they dismissed him as crazy.

This conversation is about the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it is evolving faster than expected. The speaker references a story of a man who worked for Google and was trying to develop an AI program and was ridiculed for it. The speaker then goes on to explain that this situation is a huge problem and could be integrated into anything. They then reference videos that have been shown on YouTube and TikTok of AI programs that are doing face and voice replications that look so real that it is difficult to tell if it is real or not. This conversation shows that AI is evolving faster than expected and could be integrated into anything, thus making it a huge problem for the average consumer.
