Google today [37]unveiled Project Mariner, its first AI agent capable of autonomously navigating web browsers, operating through a Chrome extension that controls cursor movements and form-filling to replicate human interactions online. The Gemini-powered prototype, developed by Google's DeepMind division, is initially available to a select group of testers. During demos, the agent performed tasks like creating shopping carts on grocery websites, though with noticeable five-second delays between actions. The system captures browser screenshots and processes them through Gemini in the cloud to generate navigation commands. It operates only in Chrome's active tab, requiring users to observe its actions rather than running in the background. Project Mariner achieved an 83.5% success rate on the WebVoyager benchmark for web-based tasks. The agent has built-in limitations, including inability to complete purchases, accept cookies, or agree to terms of service. Google Labs Director Jaclyn Konzelmann described the project as a "[38]fundamentally new UX paradigm shift" that could transform how users interact with websites. The company said it is engaging with web ecosystem stakeholders as development continues. apply tags__________ 175638547 story [39]The Military [40]'Modern War Cannot Be Won Without Software,' Palantir Executive Says [41](calcalistech.com) [42]32 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @11:00AM from the new-world-order dept. Software has become essential for winning modern wars, a senior Palantir executive told a defense conference in Israel this week. "[43]Modern war cannot be won without software," said Noam Perski, executive vice president at the data analytics company. "Seeing software as a defense system, as a weapon system, and the most malleable weapon system we have, is really important as we build the next generation's capabilities." Speaking at Tel Aviv University's first DefenseTech Summit, Perski said human factors still determine military success. apply tags__________ 175638411 story [44]Security [45]Researchers Uncover Chinese Spyware Used To Target Android Devices [46](techcrunch.com) [47]17 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @10:06AM from the more-you-know dept. Security researchers have uncovered a new surveillance tool that they say has been used by Chinese law enforcement to [48]collect sensitive information from Android devices in China. From a report: The tool, named "EagleMsgSpy," was discovered by researchers at U.S. cybersecurity firm Lookout. The company said at the Black Hat Europe conference on Wednesday that it had acquired several variants of the spyware, which it says has been operational since "at least 2017." Kristina Balaam, a senior intelligence researcher at Lookout, told TechCrunch the spyware has been used by "many" public security bureaus in mainland China to collect "extensive" information from mobile devices. This includes call logs, contacts, GPS coordinates, bookmarks, and messages from third-party apps including Telegram and WhatsApp. EagleMsgSpy is also capable of initiating screen recordings on smartphones, and can capture audio recordings of the device while in use, according to research Lookout shared with TechCrunch. A manual obtained by Lookout describes the app as a "comprehensive mobile phone judicial monitoring product" that can obtain "real-time mobile phone information of suspects through network control without the suspect's knowledge, monitor all mobile phone activities of criminals and summarize them." apply tags__________ 175637953 story [49]United Kingdom [50]UK Low-Carbon Renewable Power Set To Overtake Fossil Fuels For First Time [51]28 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @09:00AM from the encouraging-feedback dept. Rising renewables, low demand and cheaper power imports all helped [52]reduce fossil fuel use in the UK power system to record lows. From a report: For the first full year wind, solar, and hydropower will generate more electricity than all fossil fuels combined. Homegrown UK renewable power will cross a significant threshold in 2024, overtaking fossil fuel generation for the first full year. Wind, solar and hydropower are set to generate a combined 37% of UK electricity in 2024 (103 TWh), compared to 35% from fossil fuels (97 TWh). Just 3 years ago, in 2021, fossil fuels generated 46% of UK electricity, while low-carbon renewables generated 27%. Including biomass, renewables overtook fossil fuels in the UK in 2020, fell below fossil power the following year as biomass production fell, and again overtook in 2023. However, Ember's analysis raises concerns about biomass being categorised as clean power in the UK, given the significant emissions risks and lack of domestic pellet production. Bioenergy, which includes biomass and biogas power, is set to provide 14% of UK electricity in 2024. Fossil generation in 2024 has fallen by two-thirds since 2000, with the long awaited phase-out of coal power, and gas increasingly displaced by cheaper, cleaner power sources. Coal started to decline rapidly from 2012 and since 2020, coal power has made up only 2% of generation in the UK, dropping to zero by October 2024. Gas has seen a gradual decline since 2016. Across 2024 there has been a large decrease in fossil gas power, which provided 30% of electricity in 2024 (85 TWh), down from 34% in 2023 (98 TWh). apply tags__________ 175637327 story [53]AI [54]AI App Gold Rush Floods Apple Store With Low-Quality Offerings [55](theverge.com) [56]11 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @07:30AM from the gold-rush dept. AI-powered apps have [57]flooded Apple's App Store, with AI-branded tools dominating top rankings across multiple categories, particularly in graphics and design. An investigation by The Verge reveals significant quality concerns among these applications. Turkey-based developer HUBX controls three of the top 10 graphics apps, including DaVinci AI, which offers limited free features while charging up to $30 annually for full access. The app produces low-quality images and forces watermarks on paid users' downloads, The Verge writes. According to Sensor Tower data, four of the top 10 most downloaded iOS graphics apps in the U.S. this year include "AI" in their titles. While established photo editing apps like Photoshop Express saw downloads drop 21%, AI-focused app Photoroom's downloads surged 160% year-over-year. Professional creative apps continue to dominate iPad and paid iPhone categories, suggesting the AI app trend primarily targets casual users seeking free alternatives to paid creative services. apply tags__________ 175636069 story [58]Transportation [59]Cruise Employees 'Blindsided' By GM's Plan To End Robotaxi Program [60](techcrunch.com) [61]41 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @03:58AM from the blindsided dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: The news [62]came by Slack message. Cruise CEO Marc Whitten, who took the top post in June, posted a message Tuesday afternoon in the company's announcements channel along with a link to a press release entitled "GM to refocus autonomous driving development on personal vehicles." GM, which acquired the self-driving car startup in 2016, [63]would no longer fund the company, ending a mission that hundreds of Cruise engineers had worked on for years. Minutes later, during an all-hands meeting, Cruise employees learned a few more details. The self-driving car company would be absorbed into parent company GM and combined with the automaker's own efforts to develop driver assistance features -- and eventually fully autonomous personal vehicles. Whether their jobs would be safe or cut was, and still is, unclear. That meeting was short and unsatisfactory, according to one source, who noted that the senior leadership team was also surprised by this turn of events. Whitten, president and chief technology officer Mo Elshenawy, and chief administrative officer Craig Glidden, led the all-hands. Several Cruise employees who spoke to TechCrunch on condition of anonymity said they were "surprised" and "blindsided" by the decision. One source told TechCrunch that employees learned about GM's plans the same time the media did. apply tags__________ 175633975 story [64]The Courts [65]WordPress Parent Company Must Stop Blocking WP Engine, Judge Rules [66](theverge.com) [67]38 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @02:30AM from the escalating-tensions dept. WP Engine just won a preliminary injunction against WordPress.com parent company Automattic. On Tuesday, a California District Court judge ordered Automattic to [68]stop blocking WP Engine's access to WordPress.org resources and interfering with its plugins. From a report: The preliminary injunction comes after WP Engine, a third-party WordPress hosting service, [69]filed a lawsuit that accused Automattic and its CEO, Matt Mullenweg, of "multiple forms of immediate irreparable harm." It later asked the court to stop Mullenweg from restricting WP Engine's access to WordPress.org. Mullenweg waged a public campaign against WP Engine in September, accusing the service of misusing the WordPress trademark and not contributing enough to the WordPress community. After blocking WP Engine from WordPress.org's servers, Automattic took control of WP Engine's ACF Plugin. apply tags__________ 175633965 story [70]Google [71]Google Asks FTC To Kill Microsoft's Exclusive Cloud Deal with OpenAI [72](theinformation.com) [73]13 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @12:00AM from the tussle-continues dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: Google recently asked the U.S. government to [74]break up Microsoft's exclusive agreement to host OpenAI's technology on its cloud servers, according to a person who has been directly involved in the effort. The conversation took place after the Federal Trade Commission, one of the primary federal antitrust enforcement agencies, asked Google about Microsoft's business practices as part of a broader investigation, this person said. Firms that compete with Microsoft in renting out cloud servers, including Google and Amazon, want to host OpenAI's artificial intelligence themselves so their cloud customers don't need to also tap Microsoft servers to get access to the startup's technology, this person said. apply tags__________ 175633939 story [75]Businesses [76]Amazon is Officially in the Online Car Sales Business [77](techcrunch.com) [78]25 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @10:30PM from the aggressive-expansion dept. Amazon expanded Tuesday into online car sales with the launch of Amazon Autos, an e-commerce business that lets customers [79]find, order, and buy new cars, trucks, and SUVs from dealerships. From a report: Amazon is kicking off the new endeavor with Hyundai in 48 U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. The launch comes a little more than a year since the e-commerce giant announced plans to start selling vehicles on its website in the second half of 2024. Amazon said it will add more cities and additional auto manufacturers in 2025. Amazon Autos will function, in many ways, like the rest of the broader Amazon e-commerce ecosystem. Shoppers will be able to search for available vehicles from participating dealers by model, trim, color, and features. Notably, customers will also be able to secure financing and e-sign paperwork via the Amazon Autos site. Once the payment is finalized, customers can schedule when to pick up their vehicle from that dealership. When vehicles go on sale at Amazon, the local dealer (for now just Hyundai dealers) will be the seller of record. Amazon Autos will even handle trade ins. apply tags__________ 175633927 story [80]Australia [81]Investigation Launched Into Queensland Lab Breach, With Vials of Deadly Viruses Missing [82](abc.net.au) [83]46 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @09:42PM from the PSA dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: Nearly 100 live samples of the deadly Hendra virus have been [84]lost in a biosecurity bungle at a state-run Queensland laboratory. An investigation has been launched after it was revealed 323 virus samples went missing from Virology Laboratory in 2021 in a "major breach" of biosecurity protocol, Health Minister Tim Nicholls announced on Monday. The material, which included samples of Hendra virus, lyssavirus and hantavirus, appears to have gone missing after a freezer storing the samples broke down. Mr Nicholls said the breach was uncovered in August 2023. The lab has been unable to say whether the materials were removed or destroyed. "It's this part of the transfer of those materials that is causing concern," Mr Nicholls said. apply tags__________ 175633271 story [85]Programming [86]Open Source Maintainers Are Drowning in Junk Bug Reports Written By AI [87](theregister.com) [88]70 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @08:00PM from the state-of-things dept. An anonymous reader [89]shares a report: Software vulnerability submissions generated by AI models have ushered in a "new era of slop security reports for open source" -- and the devs maintaining these projects wish bug hunters would rely less on results produced by machine learning assistants. Seth Larson, security developer-in-residence at the Python Software Foundation, raised the issue in a blog post last week, urging those reporting bugs not to use AI systems for bug hunting. "Recently I've noticed an uptick in extremely low-quality, spammy, and LLM-hallucinated security reports to open source projects," he wrote, pointing to similar findings from the Curl project in January. "These reports appear at first glance to be potentially legitimate and thus require time to refute." Larson argued that low-quality reports should be treated as if they're malicious. As if to underscore the persistence of these concerns, a Curl project bug report posted on December 8 shows that nearly a year after maintainer Daniel Stenberg raised the issue, he's still confronted by "AI slop" -- and wasting his time arguing with a bug submitter who may be partially or entirely automated. apply tags__________ 175633239 story [90]Science [91]Livestock Antibiotic Use in Asia Dwarfs European Levels Amid Resistance Fears [92](ourworldindata.org) [93]32 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @07:01PM from the troubling-signs dept. Global antibiotic use in livestock varies dramatically across regions, with some Asian countries [94]using up to 80 times more antibiotics per kilogram of meat than European nations, according to new research published by Our World in Data. Thailand leads global antibiotic consumption in livestock, while Norway reports the lowest usage rates. The study found that around 70% of global antibiotics are administered to farm animals rather than humans, raising concerns about antimicrobial resistance. Several European countries have successfully reduced veterinary antibiotic sales by more than half between 2011 and 2022 through stricter regulations, including requiring prescriptions and imposing taxes on sales. The Netherlands saw a 54% decrease in pig farm antibiotic use between 2004 and 2016 without negative impacts on animal welfare or farm economics. Researchers suggest global livestock antibiotic use could fall by two-thirds if consumption were reduced to 50 milligrams per kilogram of meat produced. apply tags__________ 175633207 story [95]Transportation [96]GM Exits Robotaxi Market [97](cnbc.com) [98]38 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @06:17PM from the end-of-road dept. After spending more than $10 billion on its robotaxi unit, General Motors is [99]abandoning its Cruise driverless ride-hailing service. From a report: The Detroit automaker on Tuesday said it will no longer fund its Cruise division's robotaxi development and will instead fold the unit into its broader tech team. "Cruise was well on its way to a robotaxi business -- but when you look at the fact you're deploying a fleet, there's a whole operations piece of doing that," GM CEO Mary Barra said on a call Tuesday. Barra said GM would instead focus on the development of autonomous systems for use in personal vehicles. GM cited the increasingly competitive robotaxi market, capital allocation priorities and the considerable time and resources necessary to grow the business as reasons for its decision. apply tags__________ 175631833 story [100]Linux [101]Linux Mint Dethrones MX Linux As the Most Popular Distro On DistroWatch [102](betanews.com) [103]74 Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @12:54PM from the new-twists-and-turns dept.

Cable industry lobbyists have urged the Federal Communications Commission to [110]avoid regulating data caps and overage charges, comparing broadband plans to restaurant menus in a filing last week. NCTA - The Internet & Television Association argued that usage-based pricing benefits low-income consumers by providing cheaper options, pushing back against advocacy groups who say data caps disproportionately harm price-sensitive users. The group likened different pricing models to restaurants offering tasting menus, buffets, or unlimited soup and salad. Consumer advocates, including Public Knowledge and Free Press, countered that low-income households often have no choice but to accept data caps since lower-priced plans typically include usage limits. They cited examples of users like Gloria Simmons, a Georgia retiree who pays $60 monthly for internet service plus $10 for every 50 gigabytes over her data allowance. apply tags__________ [111]« Newer [112]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [113]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Do stories about Bitcoin cause you to feel anger?
