RIP Google Domains… and 5 big tech stories this week

it is June 16 2023 and you are watching the code report as we Edge closer and closer to the singularity more and more crazy stuff is going to happen in Tech in today's video I have five crazy stories to share with you about things you should know about as a developer this week let's get started with some bad news Google domains is shutting down or more accurately being sold to Squarespace this announcement came out of nowhere and was pretty shocking to me as a Google domains Customer because Google rarely kills its own products except for stadia Hangouts Duo Google Plus android things loon angularjs and a few hundred others in addition just a few weeks ago they announced a bunch of new top level domains like dot dad and dot zip and I'm the proud owner of kung da Foo but apparently you guys didn't do your part and buy enough of these domains to make the platform viable for Google and that means I now have to call myself a Squarespace developer that's pretty bad but it's nothing compared to what Russia's killnet is about to do to the global banking system they teamed up with Anonymous Sudan and a few other friends to make these extremely cheesy videos letting the world know about their upcoming attack while in advance within 48 hours we are launching This Global company nothing will save you and this is not a warning I am just informing you have never seen such problems before we are killing it now there were some actual cyber attacks on U.S government infrastructure yesterday but as of right now the banking system is still intact we knew stuff like this was going to happen because our friends at the world economic Forum have been worrying about it for the last few years the frightening scenario of a comprehensive Cyber attack the covid-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison and as expected it's playing out like a Hollywood movie while simultaneously we have aliens landing in people's backyards I told you 2023 was gonna get weird now lately I managed to restrain myself from talking about artificial intelligence but open AI just released a really cool new feature called functions which allows gpt4 to format responses that could execute your own back-end code basically it allows gpt4 to Output Json in a more deterministic way as a developer you provide an array of functions that it can call which allows it to format the responses in Json with the correct arguments and data types and that makes it far easier to build chat Bots that execute your own code speaking of AI versel just released a brand new npm package called AI I tried it out myself and it's by far the quickest and easiest way to build an AI chatbot I'll have a full tutorial on my second Channel soon so make sure you're subscribed over there but what makes it so cool is that that it provides helpers for streaming text responses that allow you to recreate that typing effect that you get in apps like chat GPT in addition it integrates with all the major llms on platforms like anthropic cohere hugging face and of course open AI next we have an update on Reddit which is still currently on fire there's still close to 5 000 subreddits in private mode which has been extended from 48 hours to indefinitely until Reddit provides Fair API pricing Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is prepared to die on this hill and a leaked internal email showed him downplaying the impact of the protest which made people even more angry and that means we may never get our beloved programmer humor subreddit back at least until they kick out the mods and reopen it manually this has been the code report thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one
