The British-Canadian computer scientist often touted as a "godfather" of artificial intelligence has shortened the odds of AI wiping out humanity over the next three decades, warning the [38]pace of change in the technology is "much faster" than expected. From a report: Prof Geoffrey Hinton, who this year was [39]awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his work in AI, said there was a "10 to 20" per cent chance that AI would lead to human extinction within the next three decades. Previously Hinton had said there was a 10% chance of the technology triggering a catastrophic outcome for humanity. Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme if he had changed his analysis of a potential AI apocalypse and the one in 10 chance of it happening, he said: "Not really, 10 to 20 [per cent]." apply tags__________ 175774747 story [40]NASA [41]NASA's Parker Solar Probe Reports Successful Closest Approach To Sun [42](nasa.gov) [43]5 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @11:40AM from the moving-forward dept. Following its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has [44]transmitted a beacon tone back to Earth indicating it's in good health and operating normally. NASA: The mission operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland received the signal just before midnight EST, on the night of Dec. 26. The team was out of contact with the spacecraft during closest approach, which occurred on Dec. 24, with Parker Solar Probe zipping just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface while moving about 430,000 miles per hour. The spacecraft is expected to send back detailed telemetry data on its status on Jan. 1. This close-up study of the Sun allows Parker Solar Probe to take measurements that help scientists better understand how material in this region gets heated to millions of degrees, trace the origin of the solar wind (a continuous flow of material escaping the Sun), and discover how energetic particles are accelerated to near light speed. Previous close passes have helped scientists pinpoint the origins of structures in the solar wind and map the outer boundary of the Sun's atmosphere. apply tags__________ 175774169 story [45]Crime [46]A Fake Nintendo Lawyer is Scaring YouTubers [47](theverge.com) [48]15 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @11:00AM from the stranger-things dept. A wave of fraudulent copyright takedowns on YouTube has [49]exposed vulnerabilities in the platform's content moderation system, enabling anonymous users to threaten creators' channels through false legal claims, The Verge is reporting. Several gaming content creators, including a channel with 1.5 million subscribers, received takedown notices from someone impersonating Nintendo's legal team. Though YouTube acknowledged the false claims, the company declined to explain how it verifies takedown requests or detail measures to prevent abuse of its copyright system. apply tags__________ 175774135 story [50]Businesses [51]Boom in US Retail Real Estate Defies Prediction of Ecommerce Apocalypse [52](ft.com) [53]18 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @10:20AM from the closer-look dept. Vacancies at open-air shopping centres in the US have [54]dropped to historically low levels [[55]non-paywalled source], defying forecasts of a retail apocalypse caused by the rise of ecommerce. From a report: Landlords of complexes anchored by big-box chains, discount merchants and supermarkets have gained power to raise rents as leases expire. New construction has been stymied by higher interest rates and soaring building costs. Scarcity in the market had disproved long-standing beliefs about retail real estate, said Brandon Isner, head of retail research at Newmark, a commercial property broker. "They would say, 'Retail is overbuilt. Retail is struggling. Ecommerce is going to take over brick-and-mortar retail.' And really none of that has ended up to be true," Isner said. Retailers plan to expand further in the years ahead, led by discount chains favoured by inflation-weary consumers seeking deals. Off-price clothing and decor chains Burlington Stores, Ross Stores and TJX, parent of the Marshalls and TJ Maxx store chains, have together added 339 US stores in the past year. Walmart intends to add 150 US locations over the next five years. apply tags__________ 175774085 story [56]EU [57]The USB-C Charging Mandate Arrives in the EU [58](theverge.com) [59]48 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @09:40AM from the about-time dept. From December 28th, a large percentage of the gadgets bought inside the EU are [60]required to charge via USB-C. From a report: The goal for Directive 2022/2380, known colloquially as the common charging solution, is to reduce e-waste and solve market fragmentation. You may recall Apple and the EU butting heads over this a few years ago. The requirement for USB-C is just the surface of this directive though. It also includes regulations on fast charging, unbundling charging bricks from retail devices, and the introduction of improved labelling -- and it has the potential to make life for gadget enthusiasts in the EU a whole lot simpler. If it works, of course. apply tags__________ 175774071 story [61]AI [62]OpenAI Plans Corporate Overhaul To Draw More Investment [63](openai.com) [64]11 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @09:00AM from the breaking-news dept. OpenAI plans to overhaul its corporate structure by converting its for-profit business [65]into a Delaware public benefit corporation, seeking to raise capital from investors who want conventional equity stakes. The Microsoft-backed AI startup will scrap its unusual hybrid model where a nonprofit controls a capped-profit entity. The restructuring aims to help OpenAI compete with tech giants pouring hundreds of billions into AI development, it said. Under the plan, OpenAI's nonprofit wing will receive shares in the new public benefit corporation at a valuation set by outside advisers. The nonprofit will pursue charitable work in healthcare and education while the corporation runs OpenAI's main operations. The startup, which launched ChatGPT in 2022 and claims 300 million weekly users, said its current structure hampers fundraising at the scale needed to advance artificial general intelligence development. The restructured business will maintain OpenAI's mission of ensuring AI benefits humanity as its legal mandate. apply tags__________ 175773707 story [66]Technology [67]'The Paper Passport Is Dying' [68](wired.com) [69]42 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @07:05AM from the times,-they-are-changin' dept. Facial recognition technology is poised to replace traditional passports globally, marking the biggest shift in travel documentation since World War 1. Airports across Finland, Canada, Netherlands, UAE, UK, Italy, US, and India are [70]testing passport-free systems, with Singapore already implementing the technology for its residents and departing visitors. The systems typically store passport data digitally on smartphones, using face recognition cameras at airports to match travelers against stored photos. Singapore officials report over 1.5 million people have used their system, while Finnish trials showed identity checks taking just eight seconds. apply tags__________ 175773505 story [71]Businesses [72]Video Games Can't Afford To Look This Good [73](nytimes.com) [74]54 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @05:45AM from the closer-look dept. Major video game studios' pursuit of ultra-realistic graphics has [75]led to diminishing returns and industry-wide layoffs, as younger players gravitate toward simpler, more social games, New York Times is reporting. Sony's Insomniac Games spent $300 million developing Marvel's Spider-Man 2, triple the budget of its predecessor, before laying off staff amid Sony's 900-person reduction in February. The industry has cut more than 20,000 jobs in the past two years. Meanwhile, games with basic graphics like Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite continue to dominate, particularly among younger players. Genshin Impact, a mobile game by Hoyoverse, generates approximately $2 billion annually through frequent content updates rather than cutting-edge visuals. The shift has forced studios to reevaluate their strategies. Warner Bros. Discovery lost $200 million on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, while Sony shuttered its Concord studio shortly after launch. Some industry figures see AI as a potential solution to reduce graphics development costs, the report adds, particularly in sports games. apply tags__________ 175773033 story [76]Japan [77]Japan's Megabank MUFG Suffers Online Banking Glitch, Hints At Cyberattack [78](kyodonews.net) [79]1 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @02:30AM from the PSA dept. Japanese megabank MUFG Bank says that its [80]internet banking service has been unstable, indicating that it may have been under a cyberattack. From a report: The glitch, which occurred from 2:47 p.m., originated from "massive influx of data," the main banking unit of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group said. There was no leakage of customer information, nor was any damage caused by computer viruses. apply tags__________ 175772491 story [81]China [82]Chinese Firm Trains Massive AI Model for Just $5.5 Million [83](techcrunch.com) [84]40 Posted by msmash on Friday December 27, 2024 @12:21AM from the bucking-the-trend dept. Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has [85]released what appears to be [86]one of the most powerful open-source language models to date, trained at a cost of just $5.5 million using restricted Nvidia H800 GPUs. The 671-billion-parameter DeepSeek V3, released this week under a permissive commercial license, outperformed both open and closed-source AI models in internal benchmarks, including Meta's Llama 3.1 and OpenAI's GPT-4 on coding tasks. The model was trained on 14.8 trillion tokens of data over two months. At 1.6 times the size of Meta's Llama 3.1, DeepSeek V3 requires substantial computing power to run at reasonable speeds. Andrej Karpathy, former OpenAI and Tesla executive, [87]comments: For reference, this level of capability is supposed to require clusters of closer to 16K GPUs, the ones being brought up today are more around 100K GPUs. E.g. Llama 3 405B used 30.8M GPU-hours, while DeepSeek-V3 looks to be a stronger model at only 2.8M GPU-hours (~11X less compute). If the model also passes vibe checks (e.g. LLM arena rankings are ongoing, my few quick tests went well so far) it will be a highly impressive display of research and engineering under resource constraints. Does this mean you don't need large GPU clusters for frontier LLMs? No but you have to ensure that you're not wasteful with what you have, and this looks like a nice demonstration that there's still a lot to get through with both data and algorithms. apply tags__________ 175772387 story [88]Microsoft [89]Microsoft Bundling Practices Focus of Federal Antitrust Probe [90](propublica.org) [91]6 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 26, 2024 @10:40PM from the broader-scrutiny dept. The Federal Trade Commission has launched a broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft's business practices, focusing on how the company [92]bundles its Office products with cybersecurity and cloud computing services. The probe follows ProPublica reporting that revealed Microsoft offered free temporary upgrades of federal agencies' software licenses to [93]include advanced cybersecurity features, leading to long-term contracts once the trial period ended. The strategy helped Microsoft expand its government business while displacing competitors in both cybersecurity and cloud computing markets. The investigation includes scrutiny of Microsoft's identity management product Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory. The FTC has issued a civil investigative demand compelling the company to turn over information. The probe represents one of FTC Chair Lina Khan's final moves before leadership changes under the Biden administration. Microsoft confirmed receiving the demand but called it "broad, wide ranging, and requests things that are out of the realm of possibility to even be logical." apply tags__________ 175771981 story [94]United States [95]Trump Transition Leaders Call For Eased Tech Immigration Policy [96]119 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 26, 2024 @08:27PM from the big-debate dept. [97]theodp writes: In 2012, now-Microsoft President Brad Smith [98]unveiled Microsoft's National Talent Strategy, a two-pronged strategy that called for tech visa restrictions to be loosened to allow tech companies to hire non-U.S. citizens to fill jobs until more American schoolchildren could be made tech-savvy enough to pass hiring standards. Shortly thereafter, [99]tech-backed nonprofit Code.org emerged (led by Smith's next-door neighbor Hadi Partovi with Smith as a founding Board member) with a mission to ensure that U.S. schoolchildren started receiving 'rigorous' computer science education instruction. Around the same time, [100]Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us PAC launched (with support from Smith, Partovi, and other tech leaders) with a mission to reform tech visa policy to meet tech's need for talent. Fast forward to 2024, and [101]Newsweek reports the debate over tech immigration policy has been revived, spurred by the recent appointment of [102]Sriram Krishnan as senior policy adviser for AI at the Trump White House. [103]Comments by far-right political activist Laura Loomer on Twitter about Krishnan's call for loosening Green Card restrictions were met with rebuttals from prominent tech leaders who are also serving as members of the Trump transition team. Entrepreneur David Sacks, who Trump has tapped as his cryptocurrency and AI czar, took to social media to clarify that Krishnan advocates for removing country caps on green cards, not eliminating caps entirely, aiming to create a more merit-based system. However, the NY Times reported that Sacks [104]discussed a much broader visa reform proposal with Trump during a June podcast ("What I will do is," Trump told Sacks, "you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country"). Elon Musk, the recently appointed co-head of Trump's new Dept. of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had Sacks' and Krishnan's backs (not unexpected -- both were [105]close Musk advisors on his Twitter purchase), tweeting out "Makes sense" to his 209 million followers, [106]lamenting that "the number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low," [107]reposting claims crediting immigrants for 36% of the innovation in the U.S., and [108]taking USCIS to task for failing to immediately recognize his own genius with an Exceptional Ability Green Card (for his long-defunct [109]Zip2 startup). Vivek Ramaswamy, who Trump has tapped to co-lead DOGE with Musk, [110]agreed and fanned the Twitter flames with a pinned Tweet of his own explaining, "The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born -- first-generation engineers over "native" Americans isn't because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy -- wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture." (Colorado Governor Jared Polis also [111]took to Twitter to agree with Musk and Ramaswamy on the need to import 'elite engineers'). And Code.org CEO Partovi joined the Twitter fray, echoing the old [112]we-need-H1B-visas-to-make-US-schoolchildren-CS-savvy argument of Microsoft's 2012 National Talent Strategy. "Did you know 2/3 of H1B visas are for computer scientists?" [113]Partovi wrote in reply to Musk, Loomer, and Sachs. "The H1B program raises $500M/year (from its corporate sponsors) and all that money is funneled into programs at Labor and NSF without focus to grow local CS talent. Let's fund CS education." The NYT also cited Zuckerberg's earlier efforts to influence immigration policy with FWD.us (which also counted Sacks and Musk as early supporters), taking note of Zuck's recent visit to Mar-a-Lago and Meta's $1 million donation to Trump's upcoming inauguration. So, who is to be believed? Musk, who [114]attributes any tech visa qualms to "a 'fixed pie' fallacy that is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking" and argues that "there is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation ['We should let anyone in the country who is hardworking and honest and will be a contributor to the United States,' [115]Musk has said]"? Or economists who have found that immigration and globalization is [116]not quite the rising-tide-that-raises-all-boats it's been cracked up to be? apply tags__________ 175771565 story [117]Bug [118]Windows 11 Installation Media Bug Causes Security Update Failures [119](bleepingcomputer.com) [120]61 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 26, 2024 @06:29PM from the stranger-things dept. Microsoft is [121]warning that Windows 11 installations using USB or CD media created with October or November 2024 security updates may be unable to receive future security patches. The bug affects version 24H2 installations made between October 8 and November 12, but does not impact systems updated through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. Microsoft advised users to rebuild installation media using December 2024 patches while it works on a permanent fix for the issue, which primarily affects business and education environments. apply tags__________ 175767669 story [122]Science [123]Scientists Explore Longevity Drugs For Dogs That Could Also 'Extend Human Life' [124](theguardian.com) [125]76 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 26, 2024 @01:24PM from the moving-forward dept. U.S. biotech startup Loyal plans to launch a lifespan-extending drug for dogs in early 2025, potentially offering insights into human longevity. The San Francisco-based company has secured $125 million in funding for LOY-002, a beef-flavored daily pill designed to extend canine lifespans by at least one year. The drug works by targeting age-related metabolic changes and insulin regulation, according to Loyal CEO Celine Halioua. Simultaneously, the Dog Aging Project is studying rapamycin, an immunosuppressant drug, which preliminary research suggests [126]could add three years to dogs' lives. Researchers believe these canine studies could accelerate human longevity research, though experts note the lack of standardized aging biomarkers remains a significant hurdle for human trials. apply tags__________ 175764515 story [127]Technology [128]Even Apple Wasn't Able To Make VR Headsets Mainstream in 2024 [129](theverge.com) [130]117 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 26, 2024 @12:22PM from the blurry-vision dept. Apple's [131]$3,499 Vision Pro headset has [132]failed to gain widespread adoption despite advanced technology, with consumers preferring discreet wearables like smartwatches. The Verge: Nearly a year from launch, though, Apple hasn't done enough to demonstrate why the Vision Pro should be a potential showcase of the future of computing. It's taking a long time to put together its immersive content library, and while those are great demonstrations of what's possible, the videos have been short and isolating. There aren't many great games, either. Yes, Apple keeps adding cool new software features. The wide and ultra widescreen settings for using a Mac display seem exceptionally useful. But those are pretty specific options for pretty specific use cases. There still isn't an immediate, obvious reason to buy a Vision Pro the way there usually is with the company's newest iPhones and Macs. If I bought a Vision Pro today, I wouldn't know what to do with it besides give myself a bigger Mac screen or watch movies, and I don't think either of those are worth the exorbitant price. apply tags__________ [133]« Newer [134]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [135]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Your main desktop OS at home is: (*) Windows ( ) Mac ( ) Linux ( ) Other (Whatever Cowboy Neal uses) (BUTTON) vote now [136]Read the 31 comments | 6074 votes Looks like someone has already voted from this IP.
