Microsoft makes very clear what data they are NOT using to train their AI models. What's a "Digital Epileptic Seizure"? What induces them? And why you don't want your self-driving car to have one! A public plea for help in the form of volunteer bridge servers from the Tor Network. If you are one of 140 million Zello users, heed their notice to change your password. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission opens a broad antitrust investigation into whether Microsoft has been naughty or nice. A new form of Android smartphone "scareware" simulates a seriously malfunctioning, cracked and broken screen. It's almost certainly positively and completely safe to leave Wireguard open and listening for incoming connections. Is "almost certainly positively and completely safe" safe enough? If the Internet fills with AI output, what happens when AI starts training on that? It seems we know. Last week, Australia passed the social media age restriction law. Now what?
