They may all be coming back starting next week (except for Alex Jones of course, the only one that as far as I know has been specifically excluded... Well, the Nazis are happy about this at least. :^p |

Will Elon be silly enough? Could a Tesla smartphone be on the cards? Elon Musk says he’ll have no choice but to make one if Google and Apple kill the Twitter app. But then again he's been pretty good at throwing $'s away of late. |

It was all about nothing (or just in Elon mind). Musk suddenly backflips on ‘war’ threat to Apple. But the E.U. does have a beef. The EU has warned Elon Musk of astronomical fines or a potential ban if Twitter doesn’t follow Europe’s new rules. Elon really should kick that Diet Coke habit of his. [edit] OMG. Musk pledged to put a computer chip in his skull as he announced that Neuralink is “ready for use in humans”. ...The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) called out the company for causing “extreme suffering” for its test subjects. A statement put to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), claims monkeys “had their brains mutilated in shoddy experiments and were left to suffer and die”.:-O |

Musk pledged to put a computer chip in his skull as he announced that Neuralink is “ready for use in humans”.Ah, over voltage and over current. That explains him. |

Yes... Elon may thrive on 100-hour working weeks. However, that is completely incompatible with healthy working for everyone else who also have a life outside of work... Good sense needed all round!

A mom was barred from seeing the Rockettes after she was flagged by facial recognition technology. A mom who went to see the famed Rockettes perform at New York's Radio City Music Hall with her daughter and the child's Girl Scout troop was kicked out when facial recognition technology flagged her as being blacklisted. |

... Yes... That story has hit the news in a few media outlets... Is this time to look again at the laws surrounding arbitrary adverse/selective listings acting against people?

No unexpected surprises here: Study finds AI assistants help developers produce code that's more likely to be buggy wrote: ... Worse still, they found that AI help tends to delude developers about the quality of their output... What are those old sayings about tools and about computers?... Keep searchin'!

reminds me of a cartoon I saw decades ago of the Devil sweating like crazy over code as someone sold their soul for 1000 lines of bug free code. |

Just another reason to NOT have connected, always on Internet of things in your home. Watch out for the "hidden spies"... Report: Your Roomba May Put Pictures of Your Family Using the Bathroom on the Internet According to a recent report from the MIT Technology Review, a woman’s Roomba robot vacuum cleaner recently took photos of her on the toilet and somehow the photos ended up on Facebook, shared by gig workers in a foreign country. Reminds me of the saying "What is on the internet, stays on the internet" |

At this day in future be warned, do not update your Samsung phone until further notice (unless you want a brick). Thousands of Aussies have reportedly had their smartphones wiped after hitting go on a run-of-the-mill software update. Poor testing going on yet again? Thankfully they finally got me a clock to read at the top pub. :-D |

All a greedily profitable 'game': Smart appliances could stop working after two years... wrote: Smart appliances could stop working properly after just two years because manufacturers are failing to provide tech [software/firmware] updates...

No surprise here: Appliance makers sad that 50% of customers won’t connect smart appliances 'Strangely' enough... None of my 'smart' devices are allowed out to the big bad internet... Strange at all? What is surprising is that up to 50% of users are too dumb to realise, or are otherwise happy, about being exploited... To be or not to be The Product. Enjoy!

Deepfake 'news anchors' appear in pro-China footage on social media, research group says. Chinese state-aligned actors are using AI-generated deepfake news broadcasters to peddle pro-China propaganda videos for social media platforms, a new research report claims. |
