  • Ordinary WiFi can now identify people with near perfect accuracy

    Jump

  • From OPs linked article...

    In tests involving 197 participants, the researchers said the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy. The recognition remained effective regardless of viewing angle or how the participants walked.

  • Also, I tried plugging the patch cable directly into my own wifi router and nothing.

    The router would need to be explicitly configured to connect to your account on the network, which would require certain information provided by the ISP, which it sounds like they weren't going to provide.

    Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores

  • Yes, but also no. Plenty of people will buy and read these books and watch AI slop movies. Everyone can cook healthy meals at home, and many do, but there's still a big market for fast food restaurants and prepackaged microwave meals.

    OpenAI now wants ChatGPT to access your bank accounts

    Jump

  • Relevant Tangent:

    When you try to link two financial accounts (in the US) for the purpose of transferring money from one to the other, and the originating financial institution offers, or in many cases now outright insists you use Plaid (a third party company) to make the connection..

    YSK you're giving Plaid permanent access to all of your financial records on the target account. They can immediately download your entire history and go back whenever they want to get an update.

    Sometimes they obfuscate that they're even using Plaid, so here's how to tell.

    If they "inconveniently" ask for routing and account numbers, and tell you that they're going to make two small deposits into the target account and that you need to watch for those deposits in the next few days and then come back and enter how much those deposits were to verify that it's your account, then that is NOT Plaid. This is the version you want!

    If, however, they "conviently" jump to a window for you to log into the target account to instantly make the connection, THAT'S Plaid. Once you enter your login info, you've just given Plaid permission to paw through your account history and come back to rummage for more whenever they'd like.

    Canadian fiddler sues Google after AI deemed him a sex offender

  • “If a human spokesperson made these false allegations on Google’s behalf, a significant award of punitive damages would be warranted. Google should not have lesser liability because the defamatory statements were published by software that Google created and controls.”

    The only way you protect the data from a future wannabe authoritarian dictator is for the data to not exist in the first place.

  • That was just one example. There are many other topics worthy of serious investigative journalism. This was not one of them. This is just tabloid gossip "journalism."

    What an absolute waste of investigative journalism time and resources when everyone that's not in the Epstein files is screaming for those to be investigated and the DOJ to be pressured to properly release the properly redacted files.

  • Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

  • Because she works in the medical field, she decided to create a condition related to health and hit on the name bixonimania because it “sounded ridiculous”, she says. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term.”

    If that wasn’t sufficient to raise suspicions, Osmanovic Thunström planted many clues in the preprints to alert readers that the work was fake. Izgubljenovic works at a non-existent university called Asteria Horizon University in the equally fake Nova City, California. One paper’s acknowledgements thank “Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her kindness and generosity in contributing with her knowledge and her lab onboard the USS Enterprise”. Both papers say they were funded by “the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad”.

    Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.
