Someone on GitHub is providing a medically-tuned LLM where the readme says “This is an open-source project with a mission to provide everyone their own private doctor” with absolutely no mention of the risks and limitations. AI Ethics grade: F-

It looks like I was right the other day when I posted something about climate scientists leaving Twitter in droves and mentioned that other scientists are probably as well.

Most of them are apparently coming here - to Mastodon! 🙃 (Though I know of a few on Bluesky as well)

Impressive that Darij Grinberg posted the whole textbook made for the course “Introduction to graph theory” at Drexel Univ on arXiv.

Moreover, the textbook itself is under CC0 1.0 Universal license.

don’t let the book ban people know I found this in a drawer at the library

#Cybersecurity #DefCon #Bluetooth #iPhone: "Attendees at Def Con, one of the world’s largest hacking conferences, are used to weird shenanigans, such as a seemingly innocuous wall of computer screens that display people’s passwords sniffed over the conference Wi-Fi network. But at this year’s event, even conference veterans were confused and concerned when their iPhones started showing pop-up messages prompting them to connect their Apple ID or share a password with a nearby Apple TV.

As it turned out, these alerts were part of a research project that had two goals.

One was to remind people that to switch off Bluetooth on an iPhone, you have to dig into the Settings app and not just tap it off on the quick-access Control Center, which is displayed by swiping down from the top right corner of the iPhone.

The other was “to have a laugh,” according to Jae Bochs, the security researcher who said they walked around the conference triggering these pop-ups with a custom-made device."

J'ai terminé de trier les quelques 7000 clichés d'Islande sur mon téléphone, pris entre fin septembre dernier et cette semaine. Autant vous en lâcher quelques-unes de temps en temps.

On commence avec ce lever de soleil pris non loin de la route 52 qui mène à Akranes.

Photo prise le jour de Noël l'an passé à... midi !

@lightweight @Kay @MedievalMideast I will have to let my lovely therapist know. I think she will be horrified to learn private patient conversations are being used to train AI

It should maybe be illegal for a company to change the Privacy Policy on a product you already own/are using.

The policy changes are worded like "you agree to it if you keep using our product", but this is coersion.

If I bought a watch from you and you decide you want to sell my biometrics now, my choices are to throw away the money I spent or agree.

If I have all my digital life in your services and you change your policy like that, I have to somehow uproot all my data and possibly my business or how I connect with family or friends before the time expires, or you get to go mine all my data now because you said so?

This feels all very wrong.

Zoom's terms of service now include training GenAI with no ability to opt out

Mon plaisir du samedi : faire une recherche de jurisprudence et écrire un loooong message pour que mon beau-frère explique à sa banque qu'elle doit lui reverser les sous qu'il a viré à un arnaqueur téléphonique.

Pour éviter d'épuiser les avocats de votre entourage, on rappelle donc un principe de base : en cas d'appel de votre banque, assurance, notaire ou n'importe, à la première mention d'argent à verser, vous sortez un beau "BOUGEZ PAS JVOUS RAPPELLE" et vous rappelez AU NUMÉRO HABITUEL.

This earth is not enough.

Today we mark #EarthOvershootDay, the day when we have consumed all the resources that the Earth can provide in that same year.

It is a crucial reminder that we must act now to preserve our planet's assets. If we keep this pace, we will need the resources of 1.8 earths every year due to overexploitation of resources.

With the #EUGreenDeal, protecting our planet and future generations is at the core of our mission → https://europa.eu/!8bB4bR
