Article malheureusement réservé au abonnés montre à quel point l’IA est farcie de biais : « La façon dont l’IA définit l’image d’une femme belle peut créer des ravages »
Ah, I wonder why Photoshop wants access to users work? 100% sure it's for training "AI" stuff. Just with more people tried alternative software, Adobe has such a huge monopoly, might be one of the worst cases in software.
"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."
Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.
Shout out to all the people just now learning that a US Sheriff, whose job is statistically safer than being a gardener, carpenter, or taxi driver, and that barely graduated high school, and whose job is mainly harassing and beating unarmed Black and Brown people... gets paid between 3X and 6X the salary of an active duty Navy Seal with 2 Masters degrees, on deployment in an active war zone.🙂🙃
6X. Not a typo.
Many of those sheriffs took time off of work to go act out at Jan 6. No SEALs did. 🤷🏿♂️
Aujourd'hui la flamme est en Vendée. Le Département a payé entre 150 000 et 300 000 € (le chiffre n'est pas clair). La Roche sur Yon, ville de passage, 80 000 € + le personnel municipal mobilisé, la sécurité, les plots, les ganivelles pour sécuriser toute la ville, le village de la flamme, les animations etc
Personnellement, j'ai dit à mon assistante de ne pas venir, elle ne pourrait ni s'approcher du bureau ni se garer. Je ne vais même pas ouvrir le cabinet je pense. La ville est verrouillée.
J'ai du mal à comprendre ce que les villes gagnent dans cette histoire, puisque les élus sont ivres de joie à l'idée de participer à un évènement historique 🤷🔥
Every time I see an unskippable ad anywhere I just close the app/website. Instagram won't be any different. I'm already wasting time by scrolling on Insta, if I'm not enjoying it might as well not do it at all. Thanks for taking care of my health, meta. 😝 https://mastodon.social/@verge/112554560791471664
For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
I hadn’t been aware until today of the external reaction to Recall. Holy shit. Tim Apple must be pleased.
Everything from media coverage to YouTube to TikTok is largely negative. All the comments are negative.
These videos have tens of millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments.
I knew it would be bad but.. it’s worse. I’ve spent hours looking at the sentiment and.. well, they probably would have got better coverage from launching an NFT of pregnant Clippy.
Three Copilot+ Recall questions that keep coming up.
Q. Can you alter the Recall history?
A. Yes. You can change the OCR database and change the screenshots as the logged in user or as software running as the local user. There is no audit log of changes.
Q. Are they snapshots, as Microsoft says, or screenshots?
A. They are just screenshots, jpegs.
Q. What is to stop apps on your machine accessing your Recall covertly?
A. Nothing. There is no audit log of access.
If anybody is wondering what Microsoft's reaction to any of the Copilot+ Recall concerns are, they're continuing to decline comment to every media outlet.
I've seen comments MS staff have been given for enterprise customers, which are nonsense handwaving.
Microsoft are making significant changes to Recall, including making it specifically opt in, requiring Windows Hello face scanning to activate and use it, and actually encrypting the database.
There are obviously going to be devils in the details - potentially big ones.
Microsoft needs to commit to not trying to sneak users to enable it in the future, and it needs turning off by default in Group Policy and Intune for enterprise orgs.
Obviously, I recommend you do not enable Recall, and you tell your family not to enable it too.
It’s still labelled Preview, and I’ll believe it is encrypted when I see it.
There are obviously serious governance and security failures at Microsoft around how this played out that need to be investigated, and suggests they are not serious about AI safety.
