海外TECH	Engadget	Add Taylor Swift to the list of famous people who don't like their private jets being tracked	https://www.engadget.com/add-taylor-swift-to-the-list-of-famous-people-who-dont-like-their-private-jets-being-tracked-163326648.html?src=rss	It looks like Elon Musk isn t the only billionaire who doesn t like having their private jet tracked Pop star Taylor Swift has threatened legal action against a Florida student who set up multiple social media accounts that release real time information as to the whereabouts of her personal aircraft according to The Washington Post This is eerily reminiscent of the whole ElonJet scandal of late in which Twitter banned an account that was tracking Musk s jet As a matter of fact the student facing legal action by Swift s team is the same guy who ran that account Jack Sweeney runs various social media pages that log the takeoffs and landings of aircraft owned by billionaires politicians and of course pop stars Back in December Swift s attorneys wrote Sweeney a cease and desist letter that said the pop star would have no choice but to pursue any and all legal remedies if he did not stop publishing details as to her jet s whereabouts likening it to stalking and harassing behavior The letter went on to say that Sweeney s actions had caused Swift and her family direct and irreparable harm as well as emotional and physical distress and had heightened her constant state of fear for her personal safety It s worth noting that Swift has had numerous stalkers and harassers throughout her career Just last month a man was arrested for stalking her at home on several occasions While this may be a game to you or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame it is a life or death matter for our client the legal team wrote The letter added that there is no legitimate interest in or public need for this information other than to stalk harass and exert dominion and control Tree Paine a spokesperson for Swift made a direct line from Sweeney s social media accounts to Swift s harassers saying that the pop star s team couldn t comment on any ongoing police investigation but can confirm the timing of stalkers suggests a connection Sweeney told The Washington Post that this is just an attempt to scare him away from sharing public data noting that all of his jet tracking accounts draw location information from the Federal Aviation Administration and volunteer hobbyists Aircraft regularly broadcast their locations via transponders so air traffic controllers can see what s going on Anyone on the ground can pick up these signals by using a device called an ADS B receiver which are widely available online This information is already out there Sweeney said Her team thinks they can control the world Swift s team wrote that Sweeney is notorious for disregarding the personal safety of others in exchange for public attention and or requests for financial gain citing an incident in which he asked Elon Musk for to take down the ElonJet account Facebook and Instagram banned Sweeney s accounts that track Swift s air travel late last year but they re still live on Bluesky Mastodon Telegram and other social media sites His live tracking accounts have been banned on X but he s allowed to post location data with a hour delay In addition to the world s biggest pop star Sweeney also tracks people like Donald Trump Jeff Bezos Kim Kardashian and Mark Zuckerberg It doesn t look like Sweeney s planning to stop tracking the pop star s jet anytime soon He s lawyered up to defend himself from legal action This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-02-06 16:33:26

cutting costs for a while including shutting down Stadia but it took those efforts one step further in late January when it said it would lay off employees CEO Sundar Pichai wasn t shy about the reasoning Alphabet had been hiring for a different economic reality and was restructuring to focus on the internet giant s most important businesses The decision hit the company s Area incubator particularly hard with the majority of the unit s workers losing their jobs Sub brands like Intrinsic robotics and Verily health also shed significant portions of their workforce in the days before the mass layoffs Waymo has conducted two rounds of layoffs that shed people or eight percent of its force Amazon layoffsAmazon had already outlined layoff plans last fall but expanded those cuts in early January when it said it would eliminate jobs most of them coming from retail and recruiting teams It added another people to the layoffs in March and in April said over gaming employees were leaving To no one s surprise CEO Andy Jassy blamed both an uncertain economy and rapid hiring in recent years Amazon benefited tremendously from the pandemic as people shifted to online shopping but its growth is slowing as people return to in person stores Coinbase layoffsCoinbase was one of the larger companies impacted by the crypto market s downturn and that carried over into the new year The cryptocurrency exchange laid off people in mid January just months after it slashed roles This is one of the steepest proportionate cuts among larger tech brands ーCoinbase offloaded about a fifth of its staff Chief Brian Armstrong said his outfit needed the layoffs to shrink operating expenses and survive what he previously described as a crypto winter but that also meant canceling some projects that were less likely to succeed IBM layoffsLayoffs sometimes stem more from corporate strategy shifts than financial hardship and IBM provided a classic example of this in The computing pioneer axed jobs in late January after offloading both its AI driven Watson Health business and its infrastructure management division now Kyndryl in the fall Simply put those employees had nothing to work on as IBM pivoted toward cloud computing Microsoft layoffsMicrosoft started its second largest wave of layoffs in company history when it signaled it would cut jobs between mid January and the end of March Like many other tech heavyweights it was trimming costs as customers scaled back their spending particularly on Windows and devices during the pandemic recovery The reductions were especially painful

of its team or roughly people PayPal layoffsPayPal has been one of the healthier large tech companies having beaten expectations in its third quarter last year Still it hasn t been immune to a tough economy The online payment firm unveiled plans at the end of January to lay off employees or seven percent of its total worker base CEO Dan Schulman claimed the downsizing would keep costs in check and help PayPal focus on core strategic priorities Salesforce layoffsSalesforce set the tone for when it warned it would lay off employees or about percent of its workforce just four days into the new year While the cloud software brand thrived during the pandemic with rapidly growing revenue it admitted that it hired too aggressively during the boom and couldn t maintain that staffing level while the economy was in decline SAP layoffsBusiness software powerhouse SAP saw a steep percent drop in profit at the end of and it started by laying off staff to keep its business healthy Unlike some big names in tech though SAP didn t blame excessive pandemic era hiring for the cutback Instead it characterized the initiative as a targeted restructuring for a company that still expected accelerating growth in Spotify layoffsSpotify spent aggressively in recent years as it expanded its podcast empire but it quickly put a stop to that practice as began The streaming music service said in late January that it would lay off percent of its workforce people worked at Spotify as of the third quarter alongside a restructuring effort that included the departure of content chief Dawn Ostroff While there were more Premium subscribers than ever in the company also suffered steep losses ーCEO Daniel Ek said he was too ambitious investing before the revenue existed to support it Wayfair layoffsAmazon isn t the only major online retailer scaling back in Wayfair said in late January that it would lay off team members or percent of its global headcount About of those were corporate

海外TECH	Engadget	Meta plans to ramp up labeling of AI-generated images across its platforms	https://www.engadget.com/meta-plans-to-ramp-up-labeling-of-ai-generated-images-across-its-platforms-160234038.html?src=rss	Meta plans to ramp up its labeling of AI generated images across Facebook Instagram and Threads to help make it clear that the visuals are artificial It s part of a broader push to tamp down misinformation and disinformation which is particularly significant as we wrangle with the ramifications of generative AI GAI in a major election year in the US and other countries According to Meta s president of global affairs Nick Clegg the company has been working with partners from across the industry to develop standards that include signifiers that an image video or audio clip has been generated using AI Being able to detect these signals will make it possible for us to label AI generated images that users post to Facebook Instagram and Threads Clegg wrote in a Meta Newsroom post We re building this capability now and in the coming months we ll start applying labels in all languages supported by each app Clegg added that as it expands these capabilities over the next year Meta expects to learn more about how people are creating and sharing AI content what sort of transparency people find most valuable and how these technologies evolve These will help inform both industry best practices and Meta s own policies he wrote Meta says the tools it s working on will be able to detect invisible signals ーnamely AI generated information that aligns with the CPA and IPTC technical standards ーat scale As such it expects to be able to pinpoint and label images from Google OpenAI Microsoft Adobe Midjourney and Shutterstock all of which are incorporating GAI metadata into images that their products whip up As for GAI video and audio Clegg points out that companies in the space haven t started incorporating invisible signals into those at the same scale that they have images As such Meta isn t yet able to detect video and audio that s generated by third party AI tools In the meantime Meta expects users to label such content themselves While the industry works towards this capability we re adding a feature for people to disclose when they share AI generated video or audio so we can add a label to it Clegg wrote We ll require people to use this disclosure and label tool when they post organic content with a photorealistic video or realistic sounding audio that was digitally created or altered and we may apply penalties if they fail to do so If we determine that digitally created or altered image video or audio content creates a particularly high risk of materially deceiving the public on a matter of importance we may add a more prominent label if appropriate so people have more information and context That said putting the onus on users to add disclosures and labels to AI generated video and audio seems like a non starter Many of those people will be trying to intentionally deceive others On top of that others likely just won t bother or won t be aware of the GAI policies In addition Meta is looking to make it harder for people to alter or remove invisible markers from GAI content The company s FAIR AI research lab has developed tech that integrates the watermarking mechanism directly into the image generation process for some types of image generators which could be valuable for open source models so the watermarking can t be disabled Clegg wrote Meta is also working on ways to automatically detect AI generated material that doesn t have invisible markers Meta plans to continue collaborating with industry partners and remain in a dialogue with governments and civil society as GAI becomes more prevalent It believes this is the right approach to handling content that s shared on Facebook Instagram and Threads for the time being though it will adjust things if necessary One key issue with Meta s approach ーat least while it works on ways to automatically detect GAI content that doesn t use the industry standard invisible markers ーis that it requires buy in from partners For instance CPA has a ledger style method of authentication For that to work both the tools used to create images and the platforms on which they re hosted both need to buy into CPA Meta shared the update on its approach to labeling AI generated content just a few days after CEO Mark Zuckerberg shed some more light on his company s plans to build general artificial intelligence He noted that training data is one major advantage Meta has The company estimates that the photos and videos shared on Facebook and Instagram amount to a dataset that s greater than the Common Crawl That s a dataset of some billion web pages that has been used to train other AI models Meta will be able to tap into both and it doesn t have to share the data it has vacuumed up through Facebook and Instagram with anyone else The pledge to more broadly label AI generated content also comes just one day after Meta s Oversight Board determined that a video that was misleadingly edited to suggest that President Joe Biden repeatedly touched the chest of his granddaughter could stay on the company s platforms In fact Biden simply placed an I voted sticker on her shirt after she voted in person for the first time The board determined that the video was permissible under Meta s rules on manipulated media but it urged the company to update those community guidelines This article originally appeared on Engadget at	2024-02-06 16:02:34
