Mark Zuckerberg's Wife Has Set Strict Limits on Their 11-Year-Old Daughter's AI Use (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For as long as we can remember, Meta has been the tip of the surveillance state spear. The company has amassed an unprecedented amount of intimate data about billions of people — and treated that invasive information with a well-documented level of carelessness. One of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s most beloved pet projects, the company’s camera-adorned and AI Glasses, has brought the company’s shoddy treatment of privacy into stark relief, from data labeler contractors in Kenya watching footage of user
Researchers Alarmed as GPS Readings Suddenly Veer Off by 33 Feet, Enough to Crash Self-Driving Cars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In November of last year, scientists warned of a “severe” solar storm, the strongest in over two decades, colliding with the Earth. Solar storms are the result of a surge in solar activity, with the Sun unleashing a barrage of charged particles that can trigger spectacular auroras — and wreak havoc with communications satellites and radio signals — when they reach the Earth’s magnetosphere. Beyond being ferocious enough to delay the launch of a Mars-bound NASA spacecraft, the storm wreaked absol
Alarming Study Suggests That Using AI Is Turning Humans More Robotic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now that AI models have officially passed the Turing Test, there’s no doubt that they’re capable of imitating human traits — at least in text form — to a degree that would have flabbergasted even an expert just few years back. After all, large language models are built by digesting copious amounts of human-authored content, making them little more than algorithms that mirror our behavior back at us. But the more we use AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, those tables are starti
Internet-Connected Pet Feeders Go Down, Leaving Kitties Hungry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It feels like an impossible task these days to purchase a “dumb” appliance that doesn’t need a constant internet connection and a slew of over-the-air updates — not to mention a completely unnecessary infusion of “AI.” And while most of the time the consequences of a broken update or server downtime are trivial, the stakes are considerably higher when it comes to feeding our pets. As The Verge reports, cat owners were horrified when they realized that their expensive smart pet feeders from the c
Bill Gates' Daughter Clearly Has a Traitor Inside Her Startup Who's Trying to Destroy Her (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, Bloomberg revealed that a startup founded by Bill Gates’ 23-year-old daughter, Phoebe Gates, had dabbled in some seriously questionable business practices. According to the reporting, Gates’ online affiliate marketing startup Phia used a shady technique called “cookie stuffing,” to collect commissions from online sales it had nothing to do with — a sneaky trick that’s landed previous affiliate marketers in federal prison. Then, last week, Bloomberg followed up with receipts that inte
