Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has this week sounded the alarm on AI adoption speeds. Though self-described as an AI optimist, Jassy cautioned that this technological shift "may be quicker than other technology transitions in the past." Jassy pointed directly to [39]declining education quality as "one of the biggest problems" facing AI implementation, not the technology itself. He questioned whether schools are adequately preparing students for future tool use, including coding applications. apply tags__________ 177238453 story [40]AI [41]Nvidia and Anthropic Publicly Clash Over AI Chip Export Controls [42](cnbc.com) [43]5 Posted by msmash on Thursday May 01, 2025 @11:20AM from the how-about-that dept. Nvidia [44]publicly criticized AI startup Anthropic on Thursday over claims about Chinese smuggling tactics, just days before the Biden-era "AI Diffusion Rule" takes effect on May 15. The confrontation highlights growing tensions between AI hardware providers and model developers over export controls. "American firms should focus on innovation and rise to the challenge, rather than tell tall tales that large, heavy, and sensitive electronics are somehow smuggled in 'baby bumps' or 'alongside live lobsters,'" an Nvidia spokesperson said, responding to Anthropic's Wednesday blog post. The Amazon and Google-backed AI startup had called for tighter restrictions and enforcement, arguing that "maintaining America's compute advantage through export controls is essential for national security." Anthropic specifically proposed lowering export thresholds for Tier 2 countries to prevent China from gaining ground in AI development. Nvidia countered that policy shouldn't be used to limit competitiveness: "China, with half of the world's AI researchers, has highly capable AI experts at every layer of the AI stack. America cannot manipulate regulators to capture victory in AI." apply tags__________ 177238229 story [45]Facebook [46]Meta Now Forces AI Data Collection Through Ray-Ban Smart Glasses [47](theverge.com) [48]30 Posted by msmash on Thursday May 01, 2025 @10:45AM from the newer-name,-old-behavior dept. Meta has eliminated key privacy protections for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses users in a policy update that took effect April 29th. The company now permanently enables Meta AI with camera functionality unless "Hey Meta" voice commands are completely disabled, while simultaneously removing users' ability to [49]opt out of having their voice recordings stored in the cloud. These recordings are kept for up to a year for Meta's product development, with the company only deleting accidental voice interactions after 90 days. Users can manually delete individual recordings but cannot prevent the initial collection. apply tags__________ 177237731 story [50]XBox (Games) [51]Microsoft Hikes Xbox Console Prices By Up To $100, Games To Hit $80 [52](videogameschronicle.com) [53]45 Posted by msmash on Thursday May 01, 2025 @10:03AM from the everything-more-expensive dept. Microsoft is raising prices for Xbox consoles globally, with the flagship Series X jumping $100 to $599.99 in the US. The more affordable Series S will increase by $80 to $379.99, while game prices will [54]reach $80 later this year. The company cited "market conditions and the rising cost of development" in a statement, adding that it continues to focus on "offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players." apply tags__________ 177231769 story [55]AI [56]Study Accuses LM Arena of Helping Top AI Labs Game Its Benchmark [57](techcrunch.com) [58]7 Posted by msmash on Thursday May 01, 2025 @09:00AM from the jig-is-up dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: A new paper from AI lab Cohere, Stanford, MIT, and Ai2 accuses LM Arena, the organization behind the popular crowdsourced AI benchmark Chatbot Arena, of helping a select group of AI companies [59]achieve better leaderboard scores at the expense of rivals. According to the authors, LM Arena allowed some industry-leading AI companies like Meta, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon to privately test several variants of AI models, then not publish the scores of the lowest performers. This made it easier for these companies to achieve a top spot on the platform's leaderboard, though the opportunity was not afforded to every firm, the authors say. "Only a handful of [companies] were told that this private testing was available, and the amount of private testing that some [companies] received is just so much more than others," said Cohere's VP of AI research and co-author of the study, Sara Hooker, in an interview with TechCrunch. "This is gamification."

An anonymous reader writes: NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has announced that the NIH Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on December 31, 2025, will now be effective as of July 1. From [65]Bhattacharya's announcement: NIH is the crown jewel of the American biomedical research system. However, a recent Pew Research Center study shows that only about 25% of Americans have a "great deal of confidence" that scientists are working for the public good. Earlier implementation of the Public Access Policy will help increase public confidence in the research we fund while also ensuring that the investments made by taxpayers produce replicable, reproducible, and generalizable results that benefit all Americans. Providing speedy public access to NIH-funded results is just one of the ways we are working to earn back the trust of the American people. Trust in science is an essential element in Making America Healthy Again. As such, NIH and its research partners will continue to promote maximum transparency in all that we do. apply tags__________ 177228669 story [66]AI [67]Duolingo Doubles Its Language Courses Thanks To AI [68]30 Posted by [69]BeauHD on Thursday May 01, 2025 @06:00AM from the would-you-look-at-that dept. Just a day after announcing its shift to an "AI-first" strategy -- which includes [70]phasing out contract workers in favor of automation -- Duolingo revealed it is more than doubling its course offerings by launching 148 new language courses. The Verge reports: The company [71]said today that it's launching 148 new language courses. "This launch makes Duolingo's seven most popular non-English languages -- Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin -- available to all 28 supported user interface (UI) languages, dramatically expanding learning options for over a billion potential learners worldwide," the company writes. Duolingo says that building one new course historically has taken "years," but the company was able to build this new suite of courses more quickly "through advances in generative AI, shared content systems, and internal tooling." The new approach is internally called "shared content," and the company says it allows employees to make a base course and quickly customize it for "dozens" of different languages. "Now, by using generative AI to create and validate content, we're able to focus our expertise where it's most impactful, ensuring every course meets Duolingo's rigorous quality standards," Duolingo's senior director of learning design, Jessie Becker, says in a statement. apply tags__________ 177228483 story [72]Communications [73]Satellite Launches On Mission To 'Weigh' World's 1.5 Trillion Trees [74](cbsnews.com) [75]10 Posted by [76]BeauHD on Thursday May 01, 2025 @03:00AM from the eye-in-the-sky dept. The European Space Agency has [77]launched the Biomass satellite to study the world's forests [78]using the first space-based P-band synthetic aperture radar, aiming to accurately measure carbon storage and improve understanding of the global carbon cycle. CBS News reports: Forests on Earth collectively absorb and store about 8 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, the ESA said. That regulates the planet's temperature. Deforestation and degradation, especially in tropical regions, means that stored carbon is being released back into the atmosphere, the ESA said, which can contribute to climate change. There's a lack of accurate data on how much carbon the planet's estimated 1.5 trillion trees store and how much human activity can impact that storage, the ESA said. To "weigh" the planet's trees and determine their carbon dioxide capacity, Biomass will use a P-band synthetic aperture radar. It's the first such piece of technology in space. The radar can penetrate forest canopies and measure woody biomass, including trunks, branches and stems, the ESA said. Most forest carbon is stored in these parts of the trees. Those measurements will act as a proxy for carbon storage, the ESA said. [...] Once the radar takes the measurements, the data will be received by the large mesh reflector. It will then be sent to the ESA's mission control center. apply tags__________ 177231573 story [79]Businesses [80]Apple Must Halt Non-App Store Sales Commissions, Judge Says [81](yahoo.com) [82]42 Posted by msmash on Thursday May 01, 2025 @01:05AM from the noone-above-the-law dept. Apple violated a court order requiring it to open up the App Store to third-party payment options and [83]must stop charging commissions on purchases outside its software marketplace, a federal judge said in a blistering ruling that referred the company to prosecutors for a possible criminal probe. From a report: U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers sided Wednesday with "Fortnite" maker Epic Games over its allegation that the iPhone maker failed to comply with an order she issued in 2021 after finding the company engaged in anticompetitive conduct in violation of California law. Gonzalez Rogers also referred the case to federal prosecutors to investigate whether Apple committed criminal contempt of court for flouting her 2021 ruling. The U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco declined to comment. The changes the company must now make could put a sizable dent in the double-digit billions of dollars in revenue the App Store generates each year. The [84]judge's order [PDF]: Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court's Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, by design and in effect, maintain a valued revenue stream; a revenue stream previously found to be anticompetitive. That it thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the cover-up made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple. It Is So Ordered. apply tags__________ 177228181 story [85]Bug [86]Why Windows 7 Took Forever To Load If You Had a Solid Background [87](pcworld.com) [88]50 Posted by [89]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @11:30PM from the more-you-know dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from PCWorld: Windows 7 came onto the market in 2009 and put Microsoft back on the road to success after Windows Vista's annoying failures. But Windows 7 was not without its faults, as this curious story proves. Some users apparently encountered a vexing problem at the time: if they set a single-color image as the background, their Windows 7 PC [90]always took 30 seconds to start the operating system and switch from the welcome screen to the desktop. In a recent [91]blog post, Microsoft veteran Raymond Chen explains the exact reason for this. According to him, a simple programming error meant that users had to wait longer for the system to boot. After logging in, Windows 7 first set up the desktop piece by piece, i.e. the taskbar, the desktop window, icons for applications, and even the background image. The system waited patiently for all components to finish loading and received feedback from each individual component. Or, it switched from the welcome screen to the desktop after 30 seconds if it didn't receive any feedback. The problem here: The code for the message that the background image is ready was located within the background image bitmap code, which means that the message never appeared if you did not have a real background image bitmap. And a single color is not such a bitmap. The result: the logon system waited in vain for the message that the background has finished loading, so Windows 7 never started until the 30 second fallback activated and sent users to the desktop. The problem could also occur if users had activated the "Hide desktop icons" group policy. This was due to the fact that such policies were only added after the main code had been written and called by an If statement. However, Windows 7 was also unable to recognize this at first and therefore took longer to load. apply tags__________ 177228151 story [92]Crime [93]Alleged 'Scattered Spider' Member Extradited to US [94](krebsonsecurity.com) [95]18 Posted by [96]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @09:00PM from the brought-to-justice dept. Investigative journalist and cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs reports: A 23-year-old Scottish man thought to be a member of the prolific [97]Scattered Spider cybercrime group was [98]extradited last week from Spain to the United States, where he is facing charges of wire fraud, conspiracy and identity theft. U.S. prosecutors allege Tyler Robert Buchanan and co-conspirators hacked into dozens of companies in the United States and abroad, and that he personally controlled more than $26 million stolen from victims. Scattered Spider is a loosely affiliated criminal hacking group whose members have broken into and stolen data from some of the world's largest technology companies. Buchanan was arrested in Spain last year on a warrant from the FBI, which wanted him in connection with a series of SMS-based phishing attacks in the summer of 2022 that led to intrusions at Twilio, LastPass, DoorDash, Mailchimp, and many other tech firms. The complain against Buchanan is available [99]here (PDF). apply tags__________ 177228115 story [100]Transportation [101]Republicans In Congress Want a Flat $200 Annual EV Tax [102](arstechnica.com) [103]196 Posted by [104]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @08:20PM from the what-to-expect dept. New submitter [105]LDA6502 writes: The Republican chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is [106]proposing a new annual federal vehicle registration fee of $200 for full EVs, $100 for hybrid EVs, and $20 for combustion vehicles. The tax would be tied to inflation, would be collected by the states, and would expire in 2035. Critics of the proposal note that it could result in low mileage EVs paying a far higher tax rate than heavy ICE trucks and SUVs. Ars Technica notes that the bill "exempts commercial vehicles, which should see a rush from tax avoiders to register their vehicles under their businesses [...]." Farm vehicles will also be exempt from the tax. "The Eno Center for Transportation calculates that this new tax will contribute an extra $110 billion to the highway Trust Fund by 2035 but that cuts to other taxes and more spending mean that the fund will still be $222 billion short of its commitments -- assuming that this added fee doesn't further dampen EV adoption in the U.S., that is." apply tags__________ 177227901 story [107]Businesses [108]Microsoft Puts Brakes on AI Spending as Profit Increases 18% [109]7 Posted by [110]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @07:40PM from the putting-on-the-brakes dept. After 10 consecutive quarters of rising AI-related investment, Microsoft has put on the brakes, [111]spending over $1 billion less than the previous quarter (source paywalled; [112]alternative source). Despite the slight slowdown, Microsoft posted stronger-than-expected results with $70 billion in revenue and $25.8 billion in profit. The New York Times reports: In the first three months of 2025, Microsoft spent $21.4 billion on capital expenses, down more than $1 billion from the previous quarter. The company is still on track to spend more than $80 billion on capital expenses in the current fiscal year, which ends in June. But the pullback, though slight, is an indication that the tech industry's appetite for spending on A.I. is not limitless. Overall, Microsoft's results showed unexpected strength in its business. Sales surpassed $70 billion, up 13 percent from the same period a year earlier. Profit rose to $25.8 billion, up 18 percent. The results far surpassed Wall Street's expectations. "Cloud and A.I. are the essential inputs for every business to expand output, reduce costs, and accelerate growth," Satya Nadella, Microsoft's chief executive, said in a statement. apply tags__________ 177227145 story [113]Security [114]Apple Notifies New Victims of Spyware Attacks Across the World [115](techcrunch.com) [116]4 Posted by [117]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @07:00PM from the PSA dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Apple sent notifications this week to several people who the company [118]believes were targeted with government spyware, according to two of the alleged targets. In the past, Apple has [119]sent similar notifications to targets and victims of spyware, and [120]directed them to contact a nonprofit that specializes in investigating such cyberattacks. Other tech companies, like Google and WhatsApp, have in recent years also periodically sent such notifications to their users. As of Wednesday, only two people appear to have come forward to reveal they were among those who received the notifications from Apple this week. One is Ciro Pellegrino, an Italian journalist who works for online news outlet [121]Fanpage. Pellegrino [122]wrote in an article that he received an email and a text message from Apple on Tuesday notifying him that he was targeted with spyware. The message, according to Pellegrino, also said he wasn't the only person targeted. "Today's notification is being sent to affected users in 100 countries," the message read, according to Pellegrino's article. "Did this really happen? Yes, it is not a joke," Pellegrino wrote. The second person to receive an Apple notification is Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a Dutch right-wing activist, who posted on X on Wednesday. "Apple detected a targeted mercenary spyware attack against your iPhone," the Apple alert said, according to [123]a screenshot shown in a video that Vlaardingerbroek posted on X. "This attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are or what you do. Although it's never possible to achieve absolute certainty when detecting such attacks, Apple has high confidence in this warning -- please take it seriously." Reacting to the notification, Vlaardingerbroek said that this was an "attempt to intimidate me, an attempt to silence me, obviously." apply tags__________ 177226983 story [124]Security [125]Millions of AirPlay Devices Can Be Hacked Over Wi-Fi [126](9to5mac.com) [127]36 Posted by [128]BeauHD on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @06:20PM from the PSA dept. A newly revealed set of vulnerabilities dubbed AirBorne in Apple's AirPlay SDK could allow attackers on the same Wi-Fi network to [129]hijack tens of millions of third-party devices like smart TVs and speakers. While Apple has patched its own products, many third-party devices remain at risk, with the most severe (though unproven) threat being potential microphone access. 9to5Mac reports: [130]Wired reports that a vulnerability in Apple's software development kit (SDK) means that tens of millions of those devices could be compromised by an attacker: "On Tuesday, researchers from the cybersecurity firm Oligo revealed what they're calling AirBorne, a collection of vulnerabilities affecting AirPlay, Apple's proprietary radio-based protocol for local wireless communication. Bugs in Apple's AirPlay software development kit (SDK) for third-party devices would allow hackers to hijack gadgets like speakers, receivers, set-top boxes, or smart TVs if they're on the same Wi-Fi network as the hacker's machine [...] Oligo's chief technology officer and cofounder, Gal Elbaz, estimates that potentially vulnerable third-party AirPlay-enabled devices number in the tens of millions. 'Because AirPlay is supported in such a wide variety of devices, there are a lot that will take years to patch -- or they will never be patched,' Elbaz says. 'And it's all because of vulnerabilities in one piece of software that affects everything.'" For consumers, an attacker would first need to gain access to your home Wi-Fi network. The risk of this depends on the security of your router: millions of wireless routers also have serious security flaws, but access would be limited to the range of your Wi-Fi. AirPlay devices on public networks, like those used everywhere from coffee shops to airports, would allow direct access. The researchers say the worst-case scenario would be an attacker gaining access to the microphones in an AirPlay device, such as those in smart speakers. However, they have not demonstrated this capability, meaning it remains theoretical for now. apply tags__________ [131]« Newer [132]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [133]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll When will AGI be achieved?
