Data privacy and model accuracy are by far two of the most prominent issues we've come across when speaking with companies on their use of #GenAI solutions. This great article by @laurengoode.bsky.social at Wired explains it very well:

Just 34 misleading posts received over 37 million views. A lot of the accounts posting the misinformation were also verified, so they've paid Twitter/X $8 per month for the ‘blue tick’ *and* their posts are amplified by the platform’s algorithm www.wired.com/story/iran-i...
Fake Footage of Iran’s Attack on Israel Is Going Viralwww.wired.com Misleading posts including AI-generated videos, photos, and repurposed footage from other conflicts have been viewed millions of times.

Transparency advocates say that Eric Schmidt's pursuit of “personal” connections with AI companies in China represents a concerning conflict of interest. Great reporting from @willknight.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/eric-s...

What did I want to know about Jensen Huang when I first proposed this WIRED Big Interview last year? Basically everything. We've since discussed what’s next in AI, a post-Moore’s Law world, TSMC, the chip & AI cloud competitors that keep him up at night, and…tattoos. www.wired.com/story/nvidia...

The promise and peril of the internet is that it always remembers. Now that feature is coming to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which will auto-remember personal info you put in your prompts. Google and others are also working on long-term memory frameworks for AI. Latest in WIRED: www.wired.com/story/chatgp...

Okay I finally did a full write up of the event I went to just before Christmas at Meta’s offices in San Francisco in which they laid out their plans for integrating Threads with the Fediverse. It's very long and thorough. Love to get people's thoughts. plasticbag.org/archives/202...

NEW: OpenAI’s new app store borrows a page from Big Tech's playbook, incentivizing developers to build stuff for ChatGPT. But OpenAI still hasn't shared its payout plans, which means developers are taking a leap of faith that terms will be favorable www.wired.com/story/openai...

New from me in WIRED: Beeper's cofounder @ericmigi.com is still Real Mad about siloed messaging. "That’s the kind of out-of-touch Silicon Valley thinking I’m talking about here: Getting champagne at a bar in an airport. This is about people’s everyday lives." www.wired.com/story/iphone...

Yesterday was WIRED's 30th bday event so I was a bit busy and didn't get to share this BUT — this story about a well-known entrepreneur and OS advocate and a 16 y/o coder teaming up to reverse engineer iMessage was super interesting to report and I hope you'll read it www.wired.com/story/beeper...
Meet the 16-Year-Old Whose Code Is Jailbreaking iMessagewww.wired.com The new app Beeper Mini lets Android users send texts that show up as blue bubbles on iPhones. We talked to the 16-year-old high school student who wrote the code to make it possible.
