Comment Purpose and time (Score 1) 162

As it is currently, I only use my windows 10 bootup to play games, and do personal/social media stuff on. I do all my real work and "computer usage" on a Linux distro. The surface area for getting exploited is fairly small given what I'm using windows for, no good reason to switch until I absolutely have to, and even then it is likely to be at least a generation past windows 11 and timed when I eventually do age off my hardware.

Comment Biggest issue (Score 1) 121

I tried the "new teams" last month and the biggest pain was the changed the direction of the posts with newest on top, with no setting to show this the default way. The biggest question is WHY, why change something that everyone is used to, and is consistent with all other collaboration apps. Personally I'm staying on old teams until this is at least a configurable option.

Comment Training bias + modern media (Score 5, Insightful) 98

This is a really simple case of the majority of images are slanted towards societies perspective on beauty and sex. As well as the training for the AI being targeted at making useful results. When you take that training bias and then tell it to generate things with "negative weight" you are essentially asking for it to move away from all previous tags and attractors in the network. It's not surprising that it ends up in related spaces often.

Submission + - Gizmodo publishes massive new leaked trove of internal Facebook papers (gizmodo.com) 1

DevNull127 writes: Big scoop from Gizmodo today: for the first time, "We are publishing the Facebook papers"

As part of an ongoing project to make these once-confidential records accessible to the general public, Gizmodo is today—for the first time—publishing 28 of the documents previously exclusively shared with Congress and the media.

We have undertaken this project to help better inform the public about Facebook’s role in a wide range of controversies, as well as to provide researchers with access to materials that we hope will advance general knowledge of social media’s role in modern history’s most troubling crises...

Today’s release is the first of a series of posts from Gizmodo to be published in tandem with legal and academic partners. Our goal is to minimize any costs to individuals’ privacy and any furtherance of other harms while ensuring the responsible disclosure of the greatest amount of information in the public interest possible...

Future releases will be added to this page, a directory, that will eventually offer our readers links all of the leaked internal documents we have published.... Click here to read all the Facebook papers we've published so far.

Exactly, I suspect that this grant was the result of a support reachout from Zoom. Zoom noticed they couldn't do something they wanted and contacted Apple and likely after discussing the security and needs of the request, the grant was given. This was likely not secret just not advertised, other products with the same requirements and willingness to work with Apple with the security ramifications would likely be afforded the same permissions. This "story" feels like clickbait trying to apply nefarious underpinnings to something actually quite standard.
