[39]Wi-Fi Jamming To Knock Out Cameras Suspected In Nine Minnesota Burglaries
[40](tomshardware.com) [41]33

   Posted by [42]BeauHD on Wednesday February 14, 2024 @05:00AM from the
   way-too-easy dept.
   Mark Tyson reports via Tom's Hardware: A serial burglar in Edina,
   Minnesota is [43]suspected of using a Wi-Fi jammer to knock out
   connected security cameras before stealing and making off with the
   victim's prized possessions. [...] Edina police suspect that nine
   burglaries in the last six months have been undertaken with Wi-Fi
   jammer(s) deployed to ensure incriminating video evidence wasnâ(TM)t
   available to investigators. The modus operandi of the thief or thieves
   is thought to be something like this:
   - Homes in affluent areas are found - Burglars carefully watch the
   homes - The burglars avoid confrontation, so appear to wait until homes
   are empty - Seizing the opportunity of an empty home, the burglars will
   deploy Wi-Fi jammer(s) - "Safes, jewelry, and other high-end designer
   items," are usually taken
   A security expert interviewed by the source publication, KARE11,
   explained that the jammers simply confused wireless devices rather than
   blocking signals. They usually work by overloading wireless traffic
   âoeso that real traffic cannot get through,â the news site was told.
   [...] Worryingly, Wi-Fi jamming is almost a trivial activity for
   potential thieves in 2024. KARE11 notes that it could buy jammers
   online very easily and cheaply, with prices ranging from $40 to $1,000.
   Jammers are not legal to use in the U.S. but they are very easy to buy
   online.

[45]Chrome Engine Devs Experiment With Automatic Browser Micropayments
[46](theregister.com) [47]61

   Posted by [48]BeauHD on Wednesday February 14, 2024 @02:00AM from the
   technology-of-the-future dept.
   The Chromium team is [49]prototyping Web Monetization to allow websites
   to automatically receive micro payments from visitors for their
   content, bypassing traditional ad or subscription models. The Register
   reports: Earlier this month, Alexander Surkov, a software engineer at
   open source consultancy Igalia, [50]announced the Chromium team's
   intent to [51]prototype [52]Web Monetization, an incubating community
   specification that would let websites automatically receive payments
   from online visitors, as opposed to advertisers, via a web browser and
   a designated payment service.
   "Web monetization is a web technology that enables website owners to
   receive micro payments from users as they interact with their content,"
   Surkov wrote in [53]an explanatory document published last summer. "It
   provides a way for content creators and website owners to be
   compensated for their work without relying solely on ads or
   subscriptions. Notably, Web Monetization (WM) offers two unique
   features -- small payments and no user interaction -- that address
   several important scenarios currently unmet on the web."
   "Open Payments API is an open HTTP-based standard created to facilitate
   micro transactions on the web," wrote Surkov. "It is implemented by a
   wallet and enables the transfer of funds between two wallets. It
   leverages fine-grained access grants, based on [54]GNAP (Grant
   Negotiation and Authorization Protocol), which gives wallet owners
   precise control over the permissions granted to applications connected
   to their wallet." The basic idea is web users will get a digital
   wallet, provided by Gatehub and Fynbos presently, and web publishers
   will add a link tag to their site's block formatted like so: .
   Thereafter, site visitors who have linked their digital wallet to their
   browser will [55]pay out funds to the requesting publisher, subject to
   the browser's [56]permissions policy.

[58]Tech Companies Plan To Sign Accord To Combat AI-Generated Election
Trickery [59](go.com) [60]37

   Posted by [61]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @10:30PM from the
   it's-a-start dept.
   At least six major tech companies, including Adobe, Google, Meta,
   Microsoft, OpenAI and TikTok, plan to sign an agreement this week that
   [62]details how they'll attempt to stop the use of AI-generated
   election misinformation and deepfakes. ABC News reports: "In a critical
   year for global elections, technology companies are working on an
   accord to combat the deceptive use of AI targeted at voters," said a
   joint statement from several companies Tuesday. "Adobe, Google, Meta,
   Microsoft, OpenAI, TikTok and others are working jointly toward
   progress on this shared objective and we hope to finalize and present
   details on Friday at the Munich Security Conference."
   The companies declined to share details of what's in the agreement.
   Many have already said they're putting safeguards on their own
   generative AI tools that can manipulate images and sound, while also
   working to identify and label AI-generated content so that social media
   users know if what they're seeing is real.

[64]AMD's CUDA Implementation Built On ROCm Is Now Open Source
[65](phoronix.com) [66]19

   Posted by [67]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @08:25PM from the
   exciting-projects dept.
   Michael Larabel writes via Phoronix: While there have been efforts by
   AMD over the years to make it easier to port codebases targeting
   NVIDIA's [68]CUDA API to run atop HIP/ROCm, it still requires work on
   the part of developers. The tooling has improved such as with HIPIFY to
   help in auto-generating but it isn't any simple, instant, and
   guaranteed solution -- especially if striving for optimal performance.
   Over the past two years AMD has quietly been funding an effort though
   to bring binary compatibility so that many NVIDIA CUDA applications
   could run atop the AMD [69]ROCm stack at the library level -- a drop-in
   replacement without the need to adapt source code. In practice for many
   real-world workloads, it's a solution for end-users to run CUDA-enabled
   software without any developer intervention. Here is more information
   on this "skunkworks" project that is [70]now available as open-source
   along with some of my own testing and [71]performance [72]benchmarks of
   this CUDA implementation built for Radeon GPUs. [...]
   For those wondering about the open-source code, it's dual-licensed
   under either Apache 2.0 or MIT. Rust fans will be excited to know the
   Rust programming language is leveraged for this Radeon implementation.
   [...] Those wanting to check out the new ZLUDA open-source code for
   Radeon GPUs can do so [73]via GitHub.

[75]Firefox Maker Mozilla Is Cutting 60 Jobs After Naming New CEO [76]52

   Posted by [77]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:45PM from the
   latest-layoffs dept.
   Less than a week after [78]naming Laura Chambers as interim CEO,
   Firefox's maker Mozilla said it is [79]cutting about 60 jobs, or 5% of
   its workforce. The cuts are primarily in the product development
   organization. Bloomberg reports: "We're scaling back investment in some
   product areas in order to focus on areas that we feel have the greatest
   chance of success," Mozilla said in a statement. "We intend to
   re-prioritize resources against products like Firefox Mobile, where
   there's a significant opportunity to grow and establish a better model
   for the industry."
   Mozilla last cut a significant number of jobs four years ago at the
   height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The not-for-profit company, which
   competes with Alphabet Inc.'s Google Chrome, Apple Inc.'s Safari and
   Microsoft Corp.'s Edge, has been grappling with sliding market share of
   its Firefox web browser in recent years. So far in 2024, the tech
   sector has [80]cut 32,000 jobs.

[82]F-Zero Courses From a Dead Nintendo Satellite Service Restored Using VHS
and AI [83](arstechnica.com) [84]7

   Posted by [85]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:02PM from the
   nearly-lost-to-time dept.
   An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Nintendo's
   [86]Satellaview, a Japan-only satellite add-on for the Super Famicom,
   is a rich target for preservationists because it was the home to some
   of the most ephemeral games ever released. That includes a host of
   content for Nintendo's own games, including F-Zero. That influential
   Super Nintendo (Super Famicom in Japan) racing title was the subject of
   eight weekly broadcasts sent to subscribing Japanese homes in 1996 and
   1997, some with live "Soundlink" CD-quality music and voiceovers. When
   live game broadcasts were finished, the memory cartridges used to store
   game data would report themselves as empty, even though they
   technically were not. Keeping that same 1MB memory cartridge in the
   system when another broadcast started would overwrite that data, and
   there were no rebroadcasts.
   As reported by Matthew Green at [87]Press the Buttons (along with
   [88]Did You Know Gaming's informative video), data from some untouched
   memory cartridges was found and used to re-create some of the content.
   Some courses, part of a multi-week "Grand Prix 2" event, have never
   been found, despite a $5,000 bounty offering and extensive effort. And
   yet, remarkably, the 10 courses in those later broadcasts were
   reverse-engineered, [89]using a VHS recording, machine learning tools,
   and some manual pixel-by-pixel re-creation. The results are "north of
   99.9% accurate," according to those who crafted it and exist now as
   [90]a mod you can patch onto an existing F-Zero ROM. [...] Their work
   means that, 25 years later, a moment in gaming that was nearly lost to
   time and various corporate currents has been, if not entirely restored,
   brought as close as is humanly (and machine-ably) possible to what it
   once was.

[92]OpenAI CEO Warns That 'Societal Misalignments' Could Make AI Dangerous
[93]43

   Posted by [94]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @06:20PM from the
   heed-thy-warning dept.
   Speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai on Tuesday, OpenAI
   CEO Sam Altman warned that "very subtle societal misalignments"
   [95]could make artificial intelligence systems wreak havoc. The
   Associated Press reports: "There's some things in there that are easy
   to imagine where things really go wrong. And I'm not that interested in
   the killer robots walking on the street direction of things going
   wrong," Altman said. "I'm much more interested in the very subtle
   societal misalignments where we just have these systems out in society
   and through no particular ill intention, things just go horribly
   wrong." However, Altman stressed that the AI industry, like OpenAI,
   shouldn't be in the driver's seat when it comes to making regulations
   governing the industry. "We're still in the stage of a lot of
   discussion. So there's you know, everybody in the world is having a
   conference. Everyone's got an idea, a policy paper, and that's OK,"
   Altman said. "I think we're still at a time where debate is needed and
   healthy, but at some point in the next few years, I think we have to
   move towards an action plan with real buy-in around the world." [...]
   For his part, Altman said he was heartened to see that schools, where
   teachers feared students would use AI to write papers, now embrace the
   technology as crucial for the future. But he added that AI remains in
   its infancy. "I think the reason is the current technology that we have
   is like ... that very first cellphone with a black-and-white screen,"
   Altman said. "So give us some time. But I will say I think in a few
   more years it'll be much better than it is now. And in a decade it
   should be pretty remarkable."

[97]Waymo Recalls and Updates Robotaxi Software After Two Cars Crashed
[98](techcrunch.com) [99]25

   Posted by [100]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @05:40PM from the
   latest-developments dept.
   Sean O'Kane reports via TechCrunch: Waymo is [101]voluntarily recalling
   the software that powers its robotaxi fleet after two vehicles crashed
   into the same towed pickup truck in Phoenix, Arizona, in December. It's
   the company's first recall. Waymo chief safety officer Mauricio Pena
   described the crashes as "minor" in a [102]blog post, and said neither
   vehicle was carrying passengers at the time. There were no injuries. He
   also said Waymo's ride-hailing service -- which is live in Phoenix, San
   Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin -- "is not and has not been
   interrupted by this update." The company declined to share video of the
   crashes with TechCrunch.
   Waymo said it developed, tested, and validated a fix to the software
   that it started deploying to its fleet on December 20. All of its
   robotaxis received that software update by January 12. "This voluntary
   recall reflects how seriously we take our responsibility to safely
   deploy our technology and to transparently communicate with the
   public," Pena wrote.
   The crashes that prompted the recall both happened on December 11. Pena
   wrote that one of Waymo's vehicles came upon a backward-facing pickup
   truck being "improperly towed." The truck was "persistently angled
   across a center turn lane and a traffic lane." Pena said the robotaxi
   "incorrectly predicted the future motion of the towed vehicle" because
   of this mismatch between the orientation of the tow truck and the
   pickup, and made contact. The company told TechCrunch this caused minor
   damage to the front left bumper. The tow truck did not stop, though,
   according to Pena, and just a few minutes later another Waymo robotaxi
   made contact with the same pickup truck being towed. The company told
   TechCrunch this caused minor damage to the front left bumper and a
   sensor. (The tow truck stopped after the second crash.) Last week, a
   Waymo autonomous vehicle was [103]vandalized and burned by a crowd of
   people in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Rival operator Cruise
   [104]suspended its operations while it investigates an incident where
   one of its robotaxis ran over a pedestrian who had been hit by another
   vehicle driven by a human.

[106]OpenAI Gets Some of Sarah Silverman's Suit Cut in Mixed Ruling
[107](bloomberglaw.com) [108]54

   Posted by msmash on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @05:00PM from the
   tussle-continues dept.
   OpenAI must face a claim that it violated California unfair competition
   law by [109]using copyrighted books from comedian Sarah Silverman and
   other authors to train ChatGPT without permission. From a report: But
   US District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin on Monday also [110]dismissed
   a number of Silverman and her coplaintiffs' other legal claims,
   including allegations of vicarious copyright infringement, violations
   of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, negligence, and unjust
   enrichment. The judge gave the authors the opportunity to amend their
   proposed class action by March 13 to fix the defects in the complaint.
   The core of the lawsuit remains alive, as OpenAI's motion to dismiss,
   filed last summer, didn't address Silverman's claim of direct copyright
   infringement for copying millions of books across the internet without
   permission. Courts haven't yet determined whether using copyrighted
   work to train AI models falls under copyright law's fair use doctrine,
   shielding the companies from liability. Although Martinez-Olguin
   allowed the unfair competition claim to advance, she said the claim
   could be preempted by the federal Copyright Act, which prohibits state
   law claims that allege the same violation as a copyright claim.

[112]Estate Agents Embrace AI To Stage Rental Listings [113](vice.com)
[114]11

   Posted by msmash on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @04:20PM from the
   how-about-that dept.
   Estate agents are increasingly using AI tools to [115]digitally furnish
   empty rental flats, a practice known as "virtual staging," to make them
   look occupied in listings. While virtual staging has existed for years,
   AI advancements have made the process faster and cheaper. One major UK
   estate agency already offers AI staging services to customers, Vice
   reported this week. Industry insiders cited by Vice said AI virtual
   staging is likely to become more widespread as costs fall. The
   unrealistic furniture from AI staging can be noticeable, such as bunk
   beds with overlapping ladders. But the technology continues advancing
   in quality. The story adds: Although some agents have experimented with
   using popular AI image generators like Dall-e and Midjourney to "fix"
   property pictures, the results are usually pretty bizarre, like in this
   example, where the AI has envisioned bookcases in every corner of the
   living room and put a hob at perfect height for a toddler. Companies
   like Virtual Staging AI, ModelProp and Gepetto, which describes itself
   as like "Pinterest on steroids," are now taking this technology and
   tailoring it specifically to virtual furnishing.

   According to the [121]Wall Street Journal, Walmart is in talks to buy
   TV manufacturer Vizio for more than $2 billion. Shares of Vizio jumped
   36% after the report, while Walmart's shares were down about 1%. From
   the report: Walmart, including its Sam's Club chain, has historically
   been Vizio's largest customer. Vizio is historically the largest
   television brand sold at Walmart by sales. The deal talks demonstrate
   the importance of consumer data and ad space for major retailers as
   they build out their ad businesses and compete with Amazon. In addition
   to being an e-commerce behemoth, Amazon is among the biggest ad players
   in the U.S. behind Google parent Alphabet and Facebook owner Meta
   Platforms. Amazon has also been building its own smart TV business.

   Posted by msmash on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @03:42PM from the
   shape-of-things-to-come dept.
   FTC chair Lina Khan is [126]hunting for evidence that Microsoft, Google
   and Amazon require cloud computing spend, board seats or exclusivity
   deals in return for their investments in AI startups. From a report: At
   a Friday event, Khan framed today's AI landscape as an inflection point
   for tech that is "enormously important for opening up markets and
   injecting competition and disrupting existing incumbents." The FTC
   chair offered Axios' Sara Fischer new details of how she's handling a
   market inquiry into the relationship between Big Tech companies and AI
   startups, in an interview at the Digital Content Next Summit in
   Charleston, S.C.
   In handling the surge in AI innovation and its impacts on the broader
   tech and media landscape, Khan said she aims to tackle monopoly "before
   it becomes fully fledged." She said the FTC is looking for chokepoints
   in each layer of the AI tech stack: "chips. compute, foundational
   models, applications." Khan said she's also paying close attention to
   vertical integration -- when players look to extend dominance over one
   tech layer into adjacent layers -- or when they attempt acquisitions
   aimed at solidifying an existing monopoly. That includes any potential
   integration between Sam Altman's nascent chip project and OpenAI,
   though she said she welcomes chip competition.

[128]Apple's iMessage Avoids EU's Digital Markets Act Regulation
[129](macrumors.com) [130]18

   Posted by [131]BeauHD on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @03:02PM from the
   avoiding-regulations dept.
   An anonymous reader quotes a report from MacRumors: Apple's iMessage
   will [132]avoid regulation requiring interoperability with other
   messaging platforms under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), following
   the conclusion of an investigation by the regulator (via
   [133]Bloomberg). The probe concluded that the iMessage platform and
   Microsoft's Bing do not hold a dominant enough position to be brought
   under the DMA's strict rules for services provided by big tech's
   so-called digital "gatekeepers," which include Apple, Meta, Google,
   Amazon, and TikTok, according to the EU.
   The EU has been working on legislation under the DMA that would have
   required Apple to make changes to iMessage to make it available on
   other platforms. The interoperability rules would have meant that Meta
   apps like WhatsApp or Messenger could request to interoperate with
   Apple's iMessage framework, and Apple would have been forced to comply
   within the EU. However, the EU probe found that iMessage falls outside
   the legislation because it is not widely used by businesses. The
   reprieve for Apple is part of a five-month market investigation by the
   European Commission. It's not all good news for Apple, though. The DMA
   is still forcing the company to implement updates that will allow
   iPhone and iPad users to download and install apps outside the App
   Store through alternative app marketplaces. The changes [134]will
   arrive with iOS 17.4 in March.

   tough-luck dept.
   New York City's public schools chancellor said the city [139]did not
   pass Tuesday's remote learning "test" due to technical issues. From a
   report: "As I said, this was a test. I don't think that we passed this
   test," David Banks said during a news briefing, adding that he felt
   "disappointed, frustrated and angry" as a result of the technical
   issues. NYC Public Schools did a lot of work to prepare for the remote
   learning day, Banks said, but shortly before 8 a.m. they were notified
   that parents and students were having difficulty signing onto remote
   learning.
   This is the first time NYC Public Schools has implemented remote
   learning on a snow day since introducing the no snow day policy in
   2022. The district serves 1.1 million students in more than 1,800
   schools. Banks blamed the technical issues on IBM, which helps
   facilitate the city's remote learning program. "IBM was not ready for
   primetime," Banks said, adding that the company was overwhelmed with
   the surge of people signing on for school. IBM has since expanded their
   capacity and a total of 850,000 students and teachers are currently
   online, Banks said. "We'll work harder to do better next time," he
   said, adding that there will be a deeper analysis into what went wrong.

[141]Sam Altman's $7 Trillion Chip Dreams Are Way Off the Mark, Says Nvidia
CEO [142](businessinsider.com) [143]20

   Posted by msmash on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @01:40PM from the
   how-about-that dept.
   Jensen Huang took an indirect jab at Sam Altman when he said $7
   trillion can buy "apparently all the GPUs." From a report: The Nvidia
   CEO made the quip at the World Governments Summit in Dubai on Monday
   when asked how many GPU chips that much money could buy. Altman, the
   OpenAI chief, is reportedly [144]trying to raise trillions to boost
   supplies of the chips needed for AI processing. Huang told the United
   Arab Emirates' AI minister, Omar Al Olama, that developing AI wouldn't
   cost as much as the amount Altman is seeking to raise. The Nvidia CEO
   said AI infrastructure costs would be [145]considerably less than the
   $5 trillion to $7 trillion Altman is reportedly trying to raise because
   of expected advances in computing.
   "You can't assume just that you will buy more computers. You have to
   also assume that the computers are going to become faster and therefore
   the total amount that you need is not as much," Huang said. He also
   suggested that the cost of building AI data centers globally would
   amount to $2 trillion by 2029. Huang said: "There's about a trillion
   dollars' worth of installed base of data centers. Over the course of
   the next four or five years, we'll have $2 trillion worth of data
   centers that will be powering software around the world."
