Dogs comforting babies. AI. A Chihuahua joining a wolfpack.Fake. Not real. Bogus baby.That's a fake baby. One of the tricks that AI uses to pass as legit is to use a camera that has a kind of evidency type feel to it, like this trail camera that shows a Chihuahua getting adopted by wolves, or this CCTV style security camera with the date and time baked into the footage. And by the way, all three of these videos are dated within 9 days of each other.So that's a crazy coincidence, especially because everyone' ...

There's a reasonable case to be made that the entire Verge exists because of software piracy in Napster and Limewire because that's what radicalized me in college. Like I am the kid who was a freshman in college writing furious like sent to the entire school emails addressed to Greg Jackson, the director of IT services. Oh wow.About traffic shaping the network. So we couldn't run Napster. It just sent me to law school because I was fully righteous about it.And then I ended up at the end of all that uh worki ...

We've all pirated a song or two in our day. I feel like there's like the Napster kids, there's the Kazah kids, there's the Limewire kids, and then there's like the kids who don't know. Is that like a fair delineation of the generations, would you say.>> No, the kid the the kids who don't know are just the Torrent kids. >> Oh, that's fair.

It's the year 2000 and I have an app to tell you about. It's this one app that you download to your computer and you can access every song that has ever been recorded anywhere, all without paying a dime. No, to be clear, I'm not talking about Napster.Napster is in the middle of being sued absolutely out of existence. I'm talking about an app called Lime Wire, and Lime Wire is going to fix what went wrong for Napster. From the Virgin of Ox Media, this is Version History, a show about the best and worst and s ...

Disney is losing over $4 million a day in revenue on the YouTube TV blackout. So ABC, ESPN, it's gone on for two weeks. They've missed two Monday Night Football games. Sundar Pachai and Bob Iger are now personally involved in these negotiations. Bob Iger is saying we have a deal on the table with Google. That is the same deal that everyone else gets and Google is saying no. Here's my theory of the case. Google runs YouTube. >> What do we know about Google's attitude towards YouTube creators? You can go. Goo ...

It sounds like you're in love with a controller. >> Yeah, it definitely does. >> The controller itself also has touchpads on it.Two of them. Big wonderful touch pads that you can use like mouse cursors, like track balls in any game you like. There's a gyroscope in it.Not just because we think we need a gyroscope for an occasional flick of your wrist, but so that you can move the cursor or the crosshair if you're playing a shooter game around incredibly precisely just by swinging the controller a little bit. ...

The console wars are back on. This week, Nilay Patel sits down with Jake Kastrenakes, Sean Hollister, and special guest Joanna Stern, senior columnist at The Wall Street Journal, to talk about Valve's return to the living room gaming race with the Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame VR headset. Then, Joanna discusses her time putting the Neo robot to the test and seeing whether it's capable of loading a dishwasher. Finally, it's time for the Lightning Round, where the crew is talking the YouTub ...

This is the Steam Frame. It might look like a Black Meta Quest, but it's from Valve, makers of HalfLife, Team Fortress, and Portal. And this engineering prototype is just built different.I brought my own Quest 3 to compare. The wands are larger with a full set of face buttons, triggers, and bumpers because they aren't just for VR. The frame can play Windows games on its ARM chip, too, like a Steam Deck for your face.It's smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than the Quest 2 with incredibly plush fabric. w ...
