Microsoft is [43]removing its built-in Microsoft Teams client in Windows 11. "The Chat functionality will be replaced with the more flexible free version of Microsoft Teams that's also available as an app for Windows 10," reports The Verge. The changes were [44]announced in a new Windows 11 test build this week. From the report: The original Teams integration in Windows 11, named Chat, was deeply woven into the operating system. Enabled by default, the Chat app was pinned to the taskbar and you'd have to dig into Settings to remove it. Chat offers consumers a way to use Microsoft Teams to contact friends and family. It was weirdly limited to just consumers though, making it useless for the vast majority of Microsoft Teams users that use the work version of the app. Windows 11 users could also end up with two confusing versions of Teams installed to handle work calls and personal ones. Up until today, Microsoft had been continually adding new features to Chat inside Windows 11, with improved video calling features in October and Discord-like communities and an AI art tool earlier this month. The built-in Chat functionality in Windows 11 was based on the Microsoft Teams 2.0 client, which served as the foundation for the new Microsoft Teams app that's rolling out to businesses at the moment. apply tags__________ 171174356 story [45]AI [46]EU Votes To Ban AI In Biometric Surveillance, Require Disclosure From AI Systems [47]19 Posted by [48]BeauHD on Friday June 16, 2023 @03:00AM from the strict-regulations dept. European Union officials have voted in favor of stricter regulations on artificial intelligence, [49]including a ban on AI use in biometric surveillance and a requirement for AI systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT to disclose when content is generated by AI. Ars Technica reports: On Wednesday, European Union officials voted to implement stricter proposed regulations concerning AI, according to [50]Reuters. The updated draft of the "[51]AI Act" law includes a ban on the use of AI in biometric surveillance and requires systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT to reveal when content has been generated by AI. While the draft is still non-binding, it gives a strong indication of how EU regulators are thinking about AI. The new changes to the European Commission's proposed law -- which have not yet been finalized -- intend to shield EU citizens from potential threats linked to machine learning technology. The new draft of the AI Act includes a provision that would ban companies from scraping biometric data (such as user photos) from social media for facial recognition training purposes. News of firms like Clearview AI using this practice to create facial recognition systems drew severe criticism from privacy advocates in 2020. However, Reuters reports that this rule might be a source of contention with some EU countries who oppose a blanket ban on AI in biometric surveillance. The new EU draft also imposes disclosure and transparency measures on generative AI. Image synthesis services like Midjourney would be required to disclose AI-generated content to help people identify synthesized images. The bill would also require that generative AI companies provide summaries of copyrighted material scraped and utilized in the training of each system. While the publishing industry backs this proposal, [52]according to The New York Times, tech developers argue against its technical feasibility. Additionally, creators of generative AI systems would be required to implement safeguards to prevent the generation of illegal content, and companies working on "high-risk applications" must assess their potential impact on fundamental rights and the environment. The current draft of the EU law designates AI systems that could influence voters and elections as "high-risk." It also classifies systems used by social media platforms with over 45 million users under the same category, thus encompassing platforms like Meta and Twitter. [...] Experts say that after considerable debate over the new rules among EU member nations, a final version of the AI Act isn't expected until later this year. apply tags__________ 171174970 story [53]Power [54]World's Largest Fusion Project Is In Big Trouble, New Documents Reveal [55](scientificamerican.com) [56]86 Posted by [57]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @11:30PM from the record-setting-disaster dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Scientific American: It could be a new world record, although no one involved wants to talk about it. In the south of France, a collaboration among 35 countries has been birthing one of the largest and most ambitious scientific experiments ever conceived: the giant fusion power machine known as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). But the only record ITER seems certain to set doesn't involve "burning" plasma at temperatures 10 times higher than that of the sun's core, keeping this "artificial star" ablaze and generating net energy for seconds at a time or any of fusion energy's other spectacular and myriad prerequisites. Instead ITER is on the verge of a record-setting disaster as accumulated schedule slips and budget overruns [58]threaten to make it the most delayed -- and most cost-inflated -- science project in history. The ITER project formally began in 2006, when its international partners agreed to fund an estimated [$6.3 billion], 10-year plan that would have seen ITER come online in 2016. The most recent official cost estimate stands at more than [$22 billion], with ITER nominally turning on scarcely two years from now. Documents recently obtained via a lawsuit, however, imply that these figures are woefully outdated: ITER is not just facing several years' worth of additional delays but also a growing internal recognition that the project's remaining technical challenges are poised to send budgets spiraling even further out of control and successful operation ever further into the future. The documents, drafted a year ago for a private meeting of the ITER Council, ITER's governing body, show that at the time, the project was bracing for a three-year delay -- a doubling of internal estimates prepared just six months earlier. And in the year since those documents were written, the already grim news out of ITER has unfortunately only gotten worse. Yet no one within the ITER Organization has been able to provide estimates of the additional delays, much less the extra expenses expected to result from them. Nor has anyone at the U.S. Department of Energy, which is in charge of the nation's contributions to ITER, been able to do so. When contacted for this story, DOE officials did not respond to any questions by the time of publication. apply tags__________ 171174870 story [59]Social Networks [60]Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit 'Was Never Designed To Support Third-Party Apps' [61](theverge.com) [62]124 Posted by [63]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @09:00PM from the standing-their-ground dept. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says he is [64]refusing to undo the company's decision to increase prices for third-party app developers, despite thousands of subreddits [65]pledging to keep their subreddits private or restricted in protest. "It's a startling change for many members of the Reddit community, but it's one that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman tells The Verge that he's fine with making," writes The Verge's Jay Peters. "Those third-party apps, in his eyes, aren't adding much value to the platform." From the report: "So the vast majority of the uses of the API -- not [third-party apps like Apollo for Reddit] -- the other 98 percent of them, make tools, bots, enhancements to Reddit. That's what the API is for," Huffman says. "It was never designed to support third-party apps." According to Huffman, he "let it exist," and "I should take the blame for that because I was the guy arguing for that for a long time." Huffman now takes issue with the third-party apps that are building a business on top of his own. "I didn't know -- and this is my fault -- the extent that they were profiting off of our API. That these were not charities." I asked him if he felt that Apollo, rif for Reddit, and Sync, which all plan to shut down as a result of the pricing changes, don't add value to Reddit. "Not as much as they take," he says. "No way." "They need to pay for this. That is fair. What our peers have done is banned them entirely. And we said no, you know what, we believe in free markets. You need to cover your costs," he says. Apollo developer Christian Selig [66]recently did the math for us on The Vergecast, though, and suggested that covering Reddit's asking price with only 30 days' notice would have been nigh-impossible. Huffman didn't have an answer for why the deadline was so short, beyond wanting there to be a deadline. "We're perfectly willing to work with the folks who want to work with us, including figuring out what the transition period will look like. But I think a deadline forces people, us included, to negotiate that." I also asked if Huffman truly believes that the blackouts haven't impacted his decision-making around the API pricing changes at all. "In this case? That's true," says Huffman. "That's our business decision, and we're not undoing that business decision." apply tags__________ 171175188 story [67]IT [68]Alphabet Selling Google Domains Assets To Squarespace [69](bloomberg.com) [70]21 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @08:20PM from the tough-luck dept. Alphabet is [71]winding down its Google Domains business and selling its assets to Squarespace, according to a statement Thursday. From a report: Squarespace is acquiring the assets associated with the business for about $180 million, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked to not be identified because the financial details of the transaction aren't public. The assets include "10 million domains hosted on Google Domains spread across millions of customers," according to the statement, confirming a Bloomberg News report. "We are exceptionally proud to be chosen to serve the customers of the Google Domains business," Anthony Casalena, founder and chief executive officer of Squarespace, said in the statement.

Mercedes is [77]adding OpenAI's ChatGPT to its MBUX infotainment system. "U.S. owners of models that use MBUX will be able to opt into a beta program starting tomorrow, June 16, activating ChatGPT functionality," reports TechCrunch. "This will enable the highly versatile large language model to augment the car's conversation skills. You can join up simply by telling your car 'Hey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program.'" From the report: Mercedes [78]describes the capabilities thusly: "Users will experience a voice assistant that not only accepts natural voice commands but can also conduct conversations. Soon, participants who ask the Voice Assistant for details about their destination, to suggest a new dinner recipe, or to answer a complex question, will receive a more comprehensive answer -- while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road." If you're worried about privacy, you should be. Although Mercedes loudly expresses its concern over user data, it's clear that it retains and uses your conversations: "The voice command data collected is stored in the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud, where it is anonymized and analyzed. Mercedes-Benz developers will gain helpful insights into specific requests, enabling them to set precise priorities in the further development of voice control. Findings from the beta program will be used to further improve the intuitive voice assistant and to define the rollout strategy for large language models in more markets and languages." apply tags__________ 171174134 story [79]Businesses [80]Recipient of Europe's Largest Ever Seed Round Doesn't Even Have a Product [81](theregister.com) [82]29 Posted by [83]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @07:00PM from the all-you-need-is-AI-in-the-name dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Register: The French recipient of Europe's largest ever seed round [84]doesn't have a product and was founded four weeks ago. The few employees it has only started work in the last few days. All the same, Mistral AI hoovered up [$113 million] from lead investor Lightspeed Venture Partners with contributions from Eric Schmidt, French telecoms billionaire Xavier Niel, and state-backed investment bank Bpifrance. The clue as to why the Paris-based startup is now valued at [$259 million] could be as simple as its name. New AI companies in the US inhaled [85]as much as $25 billion from venture capitalists in the first three months of 2023, and with the artificial intelligence bubble centered on the States, Europe has yet to respond in kind. There is also the small matter of personnel. Mistral AI chief exec Arthur Mensch used to be a researcher with Google DeepMind and founded the new company with Meta alumni Timothee Lacroix and Guillaume Lample. Presumably these credentials, combined with the promise of a homegrown European AI, are all it takes for investors to part with millions these days. Lightspeed partner Antoine Moyroud sure seems to think so. He [86]told the Financial Times "There's a pool of 80 to 100 people globally who have the level of experience they have. Right now, for better or for worse, the capital requirements in compute and top-tier talent make [launching an AI startup] quite a capital-intensive game." The promise of Mistral as it stands four weeks after it first emerged blinking in the daylight is another "large language model." That's it. This is the same type of technology that underpins OpenAI's ChatGPT -- a neural network of tens of million to billions of parameters trained on large quantities of unlabeled text using self-supervised learning or semi-supervised learning. That is all we know of the untold riches held in the minds of Mistral's power trio. Its [87]website, a minimalist single-page affair, says little other than: "We're assembling a world-class team to develop the best generative AI models." It also provides an email address, asking for candidates with "a strong background as a researcher, software engineer or product developer in AI." Mensch said: "There is a rising awareness of the fact that this technology is transformative and Europe needs to do something about it, both as a regulator, as a customer and an investor." Tech investment tracker Dealroom.co pegged the seed round as Europe's largest, which is indicative of the hope that AI will positively transform entire industries by taking humans out of the equation -- computer programs don't eat, sleep or unionize. So while venture capitalists are feeling FOMO and paying high prices to get a foot in the door of the latest tech gold rush, Europe is also pretty desperate, with only $4 billion stuffed into AI businesses this year compared to $25 billion in the United States. [...] Now you don't even need a product, or even the promise of something groundbreaking, just a handsome CV and "AI" in the company name. What we on the outside do know, however, is that at least one person on the Mistral team knows some HTML. apply tags__________ 171174056 story [88]Advertising [89]Video Ads Are Coming To All Your Uber Apps [90](businessinsider.com) [91]41 Posted by [92]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @06:20PM from the brace-yourselves dept. According to the [93]Wall Street Journal, Uber plans to [94]introduce full-length video ads across a variety of its platforms for the first time this week. Insider reports: Riders will encounter ads that are up to 90 seconds long on Uber's app while waiting for pickup and during rides. Similar to New York City taxis, which introduced TV screens in 2007, select Uber cars will have tablets that auto-play ads as well, the WSJ reported. Video ads will also be incorporated across Uber Eats and Drizly, an alcohol delivery service acquired by Uber for over $1 billion in 2021, the WSJ reported. On Uber Eats, ads will display while customers wait for their deliveries, and on Drizly, ads will play on search results pages. While this development is not exactly out of the blue -- Uber announced it would launch an advertising division to connect brands with customers in October -- the move to begin implementing them so swiftly shows how serious the company is about its goal of growing its advertising business to more than $1 billion in sales by 2024. Part of Uber's pitch to brands is its cache of user data. The company has information on where its users go, how often they travel to their destinations, and how long they spend in the car. "We have two minutes of your attention," Mark Grether, vice president and general manager of Uber Technologies' advertising division, told the WSJ. "We know where you are, we know where you are going to, we know what you have eaten." Grether added that Uber can use all of that data "to then basically target a video ad towards you." apply tags__________ 171174030 story [95]IOS [96]iOS 17 Gives You 72 Hours To Undo An iPhone Passcode Change [97](macrumors.com) [98]15 Posted by [99]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @05:40PM from the absent-minded dept. In iOS 17, iPhone users who change their passcode will be [100]able to reset it within 72 hours using the previous passcode. However, users can choose to expire the previous passcode immediately in the Settings app to increase security. MacRumors reports: If you enter an incorrect passcode, tapping on "Forgot Passcode?" at the bottom of the screen will lead to another screen with a "Try Passcode Reset" option. Tapping this option allows you to enter the iPhone's previous passcode and create a new passcode. As a safeguard, an option in the Settings app lets you expire the previous passcode immediately so that it cannot be used to reset the new passcode. As of the first beta of iOS 17, it is still possible to change an Apple ID account's password with an iPhone's passcode, despite a Wall Street Journal report in February highlighting instances of thieves spying on an iPhone user's passcode in public and then stealing the device in order to gain widespread access to the device. In [101]an interview with Daring Fireball's John Gruber last week, Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi said Apple has continued to "look at other ways to address this," but no changes have been made as of yet. apply tags__________ 171173986 story [102]Security [103]US Government Agencies Hit In Global Cyberattack [104](cnn.com) [105]16 Posted by [106]BeauHD on Thursday June 15, 2023 @04:58PM from the latest-developments dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: Several US federal government agencies have been [107]hit in a global cyberattack that exploits a vulnerability in widely used software, according to a top US cybersecurity agency. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency "is providing support to several federal agencies that have experienced intrusions affecting their MOVEit applications," Eric Goldstein, the agency's executive assistant director for cybersecurity, said in a statement on Thursday to CNN, referring to the software impacted. "We are working urgently to understand impacts and ensure timely remediation." It was not immediately clear if the hackers responsible for breaching the federal agencies were a Russian-speaking ransomware group that has claimed credit for numerous other victims in the hacking campaign. Agencies were much quicker Thursday to deny they'd been affected by the hacking than to confirm they were. The Transportation Security Administration and the State Department said they were not victims of the hack. CISA Director Jen Easterly told MSNBC on Thursday that she was "confident" that there will not be "significant impacts" to federal agencies from the hacks because of the government's defensive improvements. But the news adds to a growing tally of victims of a [108]sprawling hacking campaign that began two weeks ago and has hit major US universities and state governments. The hacking spree mounts pressure on federal officials who have pledged to put a dent in the scourge of ransomware attacks that have hobbled schools, hospitals and local governments across the US. The new hacking campaign shows the widespread impact that a single software flaw can have if exploited by skilled criminals. The hackers -- a well-known group whose favored malware emerged in 2019 -- in late May began exploiting a new flaw in a widely used file-transfer software known as MOVEit, appearing to target as many exposed organizations as they could. The opportunistic nature of the hack left a broad swath of organizations vulnerable to extortion. Progress, the US firm that owns the MOVEit software, has also urged victims to update their software packages and has issued security advice. apply tags__________ 171173574 story [109]Youtube [110]YouTube Tells Open-Source Privacy Software 'Invidious' to Shut Down [111](vice.com) [112]35 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @03:55PM from the how-about-that dept. YouTube has sent a [113]cease-and-desist letter to Invidious, an open-source "alternative front-end" to the website which allows users to watch videos without having their data tracked, claiming it violates YouTube's API policy and demanding that it be shut down within seven days. From a report: "We recently became aware of your product or service, Invidious," reads the letter, which was posted on the Invidious GitHub last week. "Your Client appears to be in violation of the YouTube API Services Terms of Service and Developer Policies." The letter then delineates the policies which Invidious is accused of having violated, such as not displaying a link to YouTube's Terms of Service or "clearly" explaining what it does with user information. Invidious is open-source software licensed under AGPL-3.0, and it markets itself as a way for users to interact with YouTube without allowing the site to collect their data, or having to make an account. "Invidious protects you from the prying eyes of Google," its homepage reads. "It won't track you either!" Invidious also allows users to watch videos without being interrupted by "annoying ads," which is how YouTube makes most of its money. apply tags__________ 171170728 story [114]Security [115]Mandiant Says China-backed Hackers Exploited Barracuda Zero-Day To Spy on Governments [116](techcrunch.com) [117]31 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @02:40PM from the closer-look dept. Security researchers at Mandiant say China-backed hackers are [118]likely behind the mass-exploitation of a recently discovered [119]security flaw in Barracuda Networks' email security gear, which prompted a warning to customers to remove and replace affected devices. From a report: Mandiant, which was called in to run Barracuda's incident response, said the hackers exploited the flaw to compromise hundreds of organizations likely as part of an espionage campaign in support of the Chinese government. Almost a third of the targeted organizations are government agencies, Mandiant said in a report published Thursday. Last month, Barracuda discovered the security flaw affecting its Email Security Gateway (ESG) appliances, which sit on a company's network and filter email traffic for malicious content. Barracuda issued patches and warned that hackers had been exploiting the flaw since October 2022. But the company later recommended customers remove and replace affected ESG appliances, regardless of patch level, suggesting the patches failed or were unable to block the hacker's access. In its latest guidance, Mandiant also warned customers to replace affected gear after finding evidence that the China-backed hackers gained deeper access to networks of affected organizations. apply tags__________ 171171226 story [120]Earth [121]Chipmakers Race To Curb Emissions as Demand Surges [122](ft.com) [123]24 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @02:01PM from the closer-look dept. A greener future is not necessarily a lower-tech future. On the contrary: policy experts at the International Energy Agency and World Economic Forum see smart, data-driven energy systems as crucial to hitting net zero greenhouse gas emissions. But the chips at the heart of all that clean tech -- found in everything from wind turbines to electric vehicles and smart grids -- [124]come with a big carbon footprint. From a report: According to Harvard research published in 2020, chip manufacturing, not energy consumption, accounts for most of the carbon output from electronic devices. Take water use: a chip fabrication plant can use tens of thousands of cubic metres a day, with each cubic metre creating over 10 kilogrammes of carbon emissions through transportation and purification. Record growth in chip demand in recent years also means more energy is used by manufacturers. Emissions increase with the size of production plants, meaning the carbon footprint gets larger as companies rush to build out capacity. The problem is most pronounced in Asia-Pacific, which dominates the world's semiconductor industry, with regional revenues of $330bn in 2022, more than half the global total. South Korea and Taiwan are home to the most advanced chipmakers and, although both countries are aiming to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, their semiconductor giants currently have carbon footprints to match. For example, in 2020, emissions from Taiwan's TSMC -- from its own operations (so-called Scope 1) and from the energy it purchased (Scope 2) -- were about 10mn tonnes, not far off the levels for Taipei City. South Koreaâ(TM)s Samsung emitted 15.6mn tonnes in 2021. apply tags__________ 171171194 story [125]Youtube [126]Why YouTube Could Give Google an Edge in AI [127](theinformation.com) [128]27 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @01:20PM from the shape-of-things-to-come dept. Google last month upgraded its Bard chatbot with a new machine-learning model that can better understand conversational language and compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. As Google develops a sequel to that model, it [129]may hold a trump card: YouTube. From a report: The video site, which Google owns, is the single biggest and richest source of imagery, audio and text transcripts on the internet. And Google's researchers have been using YouTube to develop its next large-language model, Gemini, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The value of YouTube hasn't been lost on OpenAI, either: The startup has secretly used data from the site to train some of its artificial intelligence models, said one person with direct knowledge of the effort. AI practitioners who compete with Google say the company may gain an edge from owning YouTube, which gives it more complete access to the video data than rivals that scrape the videos. That's especially important as AI developers face new obstacles to finding high-quality data on which to train and improve their models. Major website publishers from Reddit to Stack Exchange to DeviantArt are increasingly blocking developers from downloading data for that purpose. Before those walls came up, AI startups used data from such sites to develop AI models, according to the publishers and disclosures from the startups. The advantage that Google gains in AI from owning YouTube may reinforce concerns among antitrust regulators about Google's power. On Wednesday, the European Commission kicked off a complaint about Google's power in the ad tech world, contending that Google favors its "own online display advertising technology services to the detriment of competing providers." The U.S. Department of Justice in January sued Google over similar issues. Google could use audio transcriptions or descriptions of YouTube videos as another source of text for training Gemini, leading to more-sophisticated language understanding and the ability to generate more-realistic conversational responses. It could also integrate video and audio into the model itself, giving it the multimodal capabilities many researchers believe are the next frontier in AI, according to interviews with nearly a dozen people who work on these types of machine-learning models. Google CEO Sundar Pichai told investors earlier this month that Gemini, which is still in development, is exhibiting multimodal capabilities not seen in any other model, though he didn't elaborate. apply tags__________ 171171354 story [130]Businesses [131]Ticketmaster, SeatGeek Commit To All-In Pricing After 'Junk Fees' Criticism [132](hollywoodreporter.com) [133]58 Posted by msmash on Thursday June 15, 2023 @12:40PM from the how-about-that dept.
