Is Apple training its AI with media content?

Is Apple training its AI with media content?

The media's response to Apple's proposal has apparently been mixed. It appears that some publishers are concerned about liability that may arise from their content being used by Apple's systems. Apple, on the other hand, has apparently been vague about its plans for generative artificial intelligence. However, some media executives are optimistic about working with Cupertinos.

The New York Times says that Apple executives have been talking to each other for some time about how to get the necessary information for productive AI-based products. The company apparently doesn't want to pull its data from the Internet because that approach raises the possibility of "illusions" in artificial intelligence.

Until now, Apple has been silent in the field of productive artificial intelligence and, unlike competitors such as Google and OpenAI, has not introduced a product in this field. The company has only mentioned the use of features such as improved auto-correction of texts in iOS 17 using Transformer models.

However, for some time there have been reports about the development of a generative artificial intelligence model called Apple GPT in this company. As a result, we can expect to hear more news about AI-based products from Cupertinos in the coming year.

Apple apparently wants to partner with the media to train its AI

 The New York Times reports that Apple is in talks with major media publishers to get permission from them to use their news archives and content to train its generative AI models. Negotiations are reportedly underway for a multi-year contract worth at least $50 million.

Canalys: End of free Windows 10 support will retire 240 million PCs

 Analyst firm Canalys estimates in a new report that after October 2025, when Microsoft plans to end free support for Windows 10 , 240 million PCs could be retired forever. Microsoft will continue to provide paid support for Windows 10 until October 2028, but upgrading to Windows 11 will likely be a much cheaper option.

Microsoft announced when Windows 11 was released that computers must support TPM 2.0 for added security to run this operating system, but many computers from the pre-Windows 11 era do not support this feature, so their operating systems cannot be upgraded. With this in mind, Canalys estimates that 240 million PCs will go out of business, potentially increasing electrical waste as well.

Reuters quoted Canalis in its report as saying that the electronic waste of these computers can weigh about 480 million kilograms, which is equivalent to 320,000 cars.

Of course, many of these PCs could still be around for years after free Windows 10 support ends, but Canalys warns that demand for devices that don't receive security updates could be low.

Windows 10 update with payment!

Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced that it plans to continue providing Windows 10 security updates until October 2028, but after free support ends, it will be for an annual fee. While it's not yet clear how much that would cost, Canalis noted that upgrading to newer PCs would probably be more cost-effective.

In recent times, many reports have been published about the next generation of Microsoft's operating system or Windows 12. Last month, it was said that Microsoft might release Windows 12 in June 1403 , and another report pointed to the development of an artificial intelligence version of Windows for release in 2024.

The 18-year-old hacker of GTA, Nvidia and Uber studio was sentenced to life imprisonment in the hospital

 A teenage member of the hacking group $Lapsus , which leaked a lot of information about the development of GTA 6 last year and also caused damage to other companies, including Uber and Nvidia , has now been sentenced to life in hospital.

BBC News reported that a British judge has sentenced 18-year-old Arion Kurtage, who has autism, to life imprisonment in a hospital for hacking GTA game maker and leaking videos related to the anticipated game GTA 6. . Arion Kurtaj

In its decision, the court announced that Kurtaj had violent reactions while in custody, so he will remain in a secure hospital for the rest of his life, unless doctors determine that he is no longer a danger. Another interesting point is that this hacker, while under police protection, hacked Rockstar Studio using only the hotel TV, his mobile phone and an Amazon Firestick device.

The crimes of the teenage hacker of the GTA game

Arion Kurtaj, 18, carried out a solo cyber attack in September 2022 while out on bail for previous crimes. He first attacked the financial company Revolut, stealing the information of about 5,000 of its customers, and two days later he targeted Uber, causing it almost $3 million in damage. The teenage hacker then hacked Rockstar Games, the developer of the GTA games, and warned them that he would release the source code of GTA 6.best-free-virtual-machine-software-for-windows-10-and-11-in-2023/

Kurtage also hacked Nvidia in February 2022, during which about a terabyte of data was stolen. About 80 gigabytes of the company's data were then released by him, and the 18-year-old hacker also threatened to release the rest.

Google is likely to replace some of its employees with artificial intelligence

 Google is reportedly planning to lay off sales staff whose jobs have been automated by the company's new artificial intelligence tools or move them to other positions. More than 30,000 people are working in Google's sales and advertising department, and Google has told them that it will do "reorganization" in this department.

AdvertisingTetherland

According to The Information , it is not yet clear how many employees will ultimately be affected by Google's decision. Earlier this year, Google started advertising based on artificial intelligence. As part of this initiative, Google is trying to use artificial intelligence technology to automatically serve advertising content on landing pages.

Replacing artificial intelligence with human power in Google

Google has reportedly told its employees that it will reorganize its advertising business. Although the wording is not explicit, it could lead to artificial intelligence replacing these employees. About 45 percent of the 30,000 advertising employees work on projects that AI can now easily handle. This means that a Bard or a Gemini can take over almost half of these people's jobs.

While artificial intelligence is not as smart as a human in some ways, in other ways it has the ability to do things much faster than a human; This is what creates the fear of unemployment in many people.

Of course, Google is not the only company that seeks to replace artificial intelligence with human power; Earlier this year, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna also said the company would suspend and not hire jobs that could be filled by artificial intelligence .

The US Department of Justice and the FTC are investigating Apple's handling of the Beeper Mini

 After Beeper's conflict with Apple for the last few weeks and the company's admission of defeat against Apple , now there is good news for "Beeper". The US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are reportedly set to launch an investigation into Apple's alleged anti-competitive behavior. This investigation takes place following the recent letter of a group of Congress representatives who asked the Ministry of Justice to conduct an investigation on this matter.

AdvertisingTetherland

According to the New York Times , the Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a preliminary investigation into Apple's blocking of the Beeper Mini application. This application provided access to iMessage for Android users. It appears that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is also evaluating Apple's actions.

Apple and Beeper conflicts

The Federal Trade Commission has said in a statement about monitoring the conditions of competition in the market:

"In response to concerns about anticompetitive behavior, companies may advance privacy and security reasons to refuse to have their products and services interact with other companies' products and services. As the agency that enforces both competition and consumer protection laws, the Commission is charged with evaluating privacy and data security claims that affect competition."

Beeper Mini was released in mid-December and brought iMessage to Android. Companies have been trying to bring this service to Android for years. Most of these apps lack security and also require you to sign in with your Apple ID to a Mac mini you don't have access to. But the Beeper Mini performed differently. Beeper was able to reverse-engineer iMessage on Android, allowing you to send messages to iMessage servers without the need for an Apple ID.

However, following Apple's actions and blocking it for a few days, the company had to change its procedure and other Android users could not register in it with their contact number and must have an Apple ID. Apple quickly blocked this way as well. Finally, Beeper Mini stopped offering iMessage on Android altogether.

Apple recently announced that it will introduce RCS support in 2024 to satisfy the European Union. However, providing this feature will not solve the problem of iMessage exclusivity on the iPhone. Messages for Android users will still be sent as green bubbles. Also, next year's RCS version will be a basic version and will not provide all RCS features.

Google is likely to provide battery health display functionality in Android 15

 We know that the battery capacity of phones decreases over time, and the ability to display battery health can be useful to inform the user of the battery status of his device. Now Google is working on this feature so that Android users, like iPhone users, can know the health of their phone's battery. Also, the new battery health setting will show you whether the phone battery needs to be replaced or not. Android 15 will probably support this new feature.

AdvertisingTetherland

According to a report by Android Authority , Android 14 laid the groundwork for tracking battery health information, but Android 15 is likely to show this information to users; The latest version of Settings Services in Android will have a new page called Battery Health; Of course, Google has not yet activated this page.

Show battery health on Android

Android phones are getting more software updates now than ever before. In addition, the manufacturers have provided the possibility of repairing the parts so that you can repair your device in case of a problem. One of the parts that will need to be replaced over time is the battery.

Batteries degrade over time and their capacity decreases with each charge. Knowing when to replace your phone's battery can be difficult; Because there is no easy way to measure residual capacity. Some apps can provide a rough estimate, but to get an accurate measurement you'll need to collect phone usage data over days or even weeks.

nft-trading-has-lost-almost-all-its-appeal/

Currently, the Android operating system collects a lot of battery-related statistics - right from the first time the phone is used - in the background; So it does a better job of delivering battery capacity than third-party apps installed on the device after months or years. Last year, in Android 14, Google laid the groundwork for tracking battery health information; But it seems that this information and battery health can be accessed in Android 15.

Features of version 6 of Midgerni artificial intelligence

Features of the new version of MidJourney AI include things like using longer commands, more control over color and shadows, the ability to add text, and fine-tune the output through conversations with MidJourney. This version also performs better in interpreting and understanding user commands and, for example, can now understand subtle differences in punctuation and grammar. The image below shows how this artificial intelligence adds text to the photo:

The image below also shows the output produced by MidJourney v5.2 (left) and MidJourney v6 (right). A single command is used to create these images, and while version 6 shows more detail, version 5.2 focuses more on character.

Unlike DALL-E, Midgerni can also create images of well-known people. In the next test, the AI ​​was asked to produce an image of Elon Musk riding a unicorn. Version 5.2 (left) produced a cartoonish image, while the output of version 6 (right) is more realistic.4-main-reasons-for-the-failure-of-traders/

Finally, it should be announced that like all previous versions of this artificial intelligence, version 6 of Midjourney is also available through Discord.

MidJourney was first made available in beta in July 2022 and has made rapid and significant improvements in image quality and accuracy with each release. There are now competitors such as DALL-E 3 for Midgerni, and Meta also offers free tools that offer more control over the image production process.

By changing the logo, Bluesky unveiled the possibility of viewing posts without a user account

 Bluesky, which is an alternative to X, has changed its logo from a blue sky with some clouds to a blue butterfly. Also, "Jay Graber" , the CEO of Bluesky, has said that now it is not necessary to log in to a user account to see the posts on this platform; You can view posts from both the web and the BlueSky app.

AdvertisingTetherland

According to the Verge report , although all users can now see your posts even without an account, you can disable such a possibility in your account settings so that posts are visible only to those who have an account. Bluesky says that changing your account status won't make your account completely private, and other apps may not honor your request in some way.

In the settings section, under the option to disable others from viewing your content, BlueSky says: “BlueSky is an open and public network. This setting only limits the visibility of your content on BlueSky's app and website, and other apps may not respect this setting." According to Jay Graber: "Posts on Bluesky have always been public in the developer tools and other applications." is-it-possible-to-design-a-logo-without-a-computer/

Bluesky unveiled its new logo

Also Bluesky now has a new logo which is a blue butterfly. The previous logo of this app was a blue sky with clouds. According to the company's CEO, users usually used the butterfly emoji to represent blue sky. He also said: "The butterfly somehow refers to our mission to transform social networks into something new."

With social networks like Threads switching to the ActivityPub protocol and connecting it to other social networks , Bluesky, which is built on its own AT protocol, should probably look for a change. However, this application is always attracting new contacts and is growing rapidly. It should be noted that you still need an invitation to register in Bluesky.
