When discussing humanity's role in a post-AGI/ASI world, @sama told me:

"Of course, I don't know – But I sincerely hope that AI will never go beyond augmenting humans."

It looks like some things from sci fi are coming very close to be reality soon

[Siqi Chen @blader]

okay so AI can literally read our minds now.

a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion.

first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data.

Johnny Lee famously hacked a Wii Remote to turn a 2D screen into a 3D window. We revived this trick in Chrome using a standard webcam.

Here’s how we did it. 🧵👇

Taking photos at night on your phone used to look terrible, but recent phones have much-improved capabilities. @julianchokkattu
, reviews editor at WIRED, explains how smartphone camera technology has gotten so much better.

The recent WhatsApp accounts takeover is simple and genius.

This is how it works:
You're sleeping.
A "hacker" tries to login to your account via WhatsApp.
You get a text message with a pincode that says "Do not share this".

You don't share it, yet you still get hacked.

How?

Most nowadays associate Alexa with the voice assistant. It was also the name of a 90s website ranking using browser extension data. Now DNS data is used-the commercial “phone book” DNS publishes who’s called most often. Better, and will remind some of root DNS servers importance.

Today, we are launching a new dataset called Radar Rankings, where we identify the top most popular domains that reflect how people use the Internet globally and per country. https://t.co/ftUferSCpb #CloudflareRadar #BirthdayWeek🎂

wondering what else smartphone sensors can pick up (or rather, what not)

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

New: A new proof-of-concept attack can steal data from air-gapped computers using a phone’s gyroscope from just a few meters away.

"Security"

[Simon @srehbach]

Interesting experiment that should let us think about where and how to use machine learning. By nature you can't explain how an ML model works once trained, and few think of this consequence.

[Adam J Calhoun @neuroecology]

You can plant an undetectable backdoor in any deep learning model

Thank you @Spotify ! i found the default shuffle weird on other albums, too. Should be on for playlists and off for albums.

[Adele @Adele]

This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry! We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended. Thank you Spotify for listening 🍷♥️
