[1872.04 --> 1873.08] That's what I'm trying to say!
[1873.08 --> 1873.64] Wait!
[1873.64 --> 1878.92] So they say the cost increase will not trickle down to the consumer, which is of course nonsense.
[1883.48 --> 1888.68] I think all that means is they're not adjusting the pricing of their current generation of boards,
[1888.68 --> 1894.28] but that doesn't mean that when they consider the BOM cost, the bill of materials, for their next generation,
[1894.92 --> 1899.08] that they won't consider that that's another two or three dollars or four dollars...
[1899.08 --> 1902.04] What do you mean? This could have been two dollars cheaper this whole time?
[1903.56 --> 1908.60] Um, okay, this was originally posted over on Gizmodo.
[1908.60 --> 1915.00] Um, it was posted on the forum by Pyrii, Pyrii? Pyrii, I think.
[1915.72 --> 1923.56] And dozens of employees have quit Google in protest against a military project, what is this, Project Maven.
[1923.56 --> 1924.36] Okay, wait a second.
[1925.16 --> 1926.44] A dozen, not dozens.
[1926.44 --> 1927.56] Yeah, sorry, a dozen.
[1927.56 --> 1928.44] A dozen, so far.
[1930.76 --> 1934.76] So, Project Maven is a project that Google's working on in collaboration.
[1934.76 --> 1935.80] Really a project.
[1935.80 --> 1938.20] They called it Project Maven and it's a project.
[1938.20 --> 1938.28] It's a project.
[1938.28 --> 1939.08] Wow.
[1939.08 --> 1940.12] It's an undertaking.
[1940.12 --> 1940.68] Wow.
[1940.68 --> 1941.08] Wow.
[1941.08 --> 1941.96] Okay, you do it.
[1941.96 --> 1942.68] Do tell me more.
[1942.68 --> 1943.24] No.
[1943.24 --> 1947.96] No, actually you have to do it because I'm checking on notes on the YouTube premium thing that you didn't
[1947.96 --> 1948.68] put in here.
[1948.68 --> 1953.08] Despite protests from employees, why would an employee ever protest?
[1953.08 --> 1953.64] Yes.
[1953.64 --> 1958.12] Google is charging ahead with the Department of Defense collaboration to produce machine learning
[1958.12 --> 1961.32] software for American military drones.
[1961.32 --> 1967.64] Project Maven aims to speed up the analysis of drone footage by automatically classifying images of objects and people.
[1967.64 --> 1974.44] And now a dozen people, Google employees, are resigning in protest over the company's continued involvement.
[1974.44 --> 1980.12] And this is in addition to about 4,000 employees who have voiced concern in a petition that was circulated internally.
[1980.12 --> 1981.48] Yeah.
[1981.48 --> 1991.24] So basically Project Maven is a way of using AI to identify targets in for and okay, it doesn't
[1991.24 --> 1997.16] say explicitly, but the assumption, so this is all like allegedly, but the assumption is
[1997.16 --> 2003.08] that the technology is going to be used to identify targets for drone strikes is ultimately what people
[2003.08 --> 2004.44] are mostly upset about.
[2004.44 --> 2011.64] Google has emphasized, though, Google claims it is only providing open source software to Project Maven, which means the
[2011.64 --> 2016.52] military would be able to still use the technology even if Google didn't accept payment or offer technical
[2016.52 --> 2019.88] assistance, and they have emphasized that its AI is not being used to kill.
[2020.44 --> 2027.40] The technology is used to flag images for human review and is intended to save lives and save people from
[2027.40 --> 2029.24] having to do highly tedious work.
[2029.24 --> 2035.32] And of course, I mean, you could see that the objections to this, their mission statement from the beginning was don't be evil.
[2036.52 --> 2039.64] Yeah, but that's nowhere in their documentation anymore, as far as I know.
[2040.44 --> 2047.56] But it's still baked into the company ethos and a lot of people who work there make, it's possible that you worked there for a long time.
[2047.56 --> 2051.48] And that was the mission statement when you were hired and for a large part of your career.
[2051.48 --> 2062.36] Second part of it is that Google, it's been argued that Google has, is mandated to protect all of its users and they have a global user base.
[2062.36 --> 2074.12] So this is, this project serves the interests of the US and the weaponry that's developed from it could be used to harm Google users who are not in the US.
[2074.12 --> 2076.52] So where does their responsibility lie?
[2077.64 --> 2078.36] This is great.
[2078.50 --> 2083.98] Fruntal in Twitch chat, deciding whether or not to kill someone equals highly tedious work.
[2086.48 --> 2086.92] Dang.
[2087.34 --> 2095.76] So there are other American companies, major tech companies, including IBM and Amazon that have refused to work with the US Defense Department.
[2099.36 --> 2101.40] But the counter argument to that is...
[2101.40 --> 2102.36] I don't think you read that correctly.
[2103.04 --> 2103.78] Sorry, what's that?
[2104.12 --> 2107.16] In addition to the petition circulating inside Google...
[2107.16 --> 2108.32] Oh, launched the petition.
[2108.46 --> 2108.60] Sorry.
[2108.72 --> 2115.96] There was another petition that tried to get other companies like IBM and Amazon to work together to refuse to work with the US Defense Department.
[2115.96 --> 2120.90] So the counter argument to that is like, well, don't you want the United...
[2120.90 --> 2126.72] Don't you want America to, you know, keep up with, you know, other countries?
[2126.90 --> 2128.24] Like, you know, is...
[2128.24 --> 2134.10] It's like, do you think that the engineers at Baidu are quitting because they don't want to do defense contracts?
[2134.10 --> 2135.30] From the Chinese government?
[2135.30 --> 2137.14] Do you think that's happening?
[2137.14 --> 2139.30] Do you think the engineers at Yandex in Russia?
[2139.30 --> 2144.58] Do you want the U.S. to be overpowered by other nations that get this kind of work done?
[2144.66 --> 2145.50] From the private sector.
[2146.34 --> 2147.62] Well, private sector.
[2148.58 --> 2151.26] I mean, is Baidu private sector technically?
[2151.40 --> 2151.74] I don't know.
[2152.88 --> 2153.88] Well, that's the other thing.
[2154.14 --> 2155.74] What happens to you if you protest?
[2156.18 --> 2157.12] I'm not even going there.
[2158.18 --> 2164.78] So if it's going to be happening anyway, then who do you want to hold this kind of technology?
[2164.78 --> 2177.16] I can see why you wouldn't want to be the one working on it, but you should probably understand that when you walk away, there's another engineer who's going to work on it.
[2177.88 --> 2184.98] And then if that engineer's not at Google, that engineer will be either from a different company in the U.S. or another company in a different country.
[2185.24 --> 2188.74] Baidu apparently not stayed owned as of this article from 2015.
[2188.96 --> 2192.20] I don't know if that's up to date, but I was just curious.
[2192.20 --> 2194.74] Oh, that's not what I thought you meant explicitly, but all right.
[2195.06 --> 2195.86] All right.
[2195.98 --> 2202.38] So let's move on then to YouTube Complete Dogs Breakfastium.
[2202.86 --> 2203.36] Oh, sorry.
[2203.46 --> 2203.94] Excuse me.
[2204.06 --> 2205.06] YouTube Premium.
[2205.54 --> 2207.92] So the original article here is from The Verge.
[2208.12 --> 2210.94] And basically, so how much do you know about YouTube Red?
[2212.00 --> 2212.80] Very little.
[2213.06 --> 2213.30] Okay.
[2213.64 --> 2222.76] So right now, okay, I'm just trying to, I'm trying to remember what YouTube music is.
[2223.26 --> 2223.60] Oh, yeah.
[2223.88 --> 2224.32] You're right.
[2224.78 --> 2225.04] Crap.
[2225.18 --> 2226.36] What is YouTube music?
[2227.40 --> 2227.68] Oh, man.
[2227.68 --> 2228.98] Google always does this.
[2229.30 --> 2229.86] I know.
