How funky tortoiseshell glasses can beat facial recognition | Technology | The Guardian - 1 views

  •  
    "Where the researchers struck gold was by realising that a large (but not overly large pair of glasses) could act to "change the pixels" even in a real photo. By picking a pair of "geek" frames, with relatively large rims, the researchers were able to obscure about 6.5% of the pixels in any given facial picture. Printing a pattern over those frames then had the effect of manipulating the image."

Want to save the Earth? Then don't buy that shiny new iPhone | John Naughton | The Guardian - 0 views

  •  
    "But it isn't. As I write, I have a Fairphone 3+ on the desk beside me. It's a very capable, nicely designed, dual-sim Android phone. In just seconds, I snap off the back of the case with a fingernail and remove the battery. Other modules of the phone, including the camera, can be removed and replaced without elaborate tools or expertise. And once it's done you snap the case shut and press the power button. And you can buy it online for £399. Over in the US, the Framework laptop has just come on to the market. It's a thin, lightweight, high-performance 13.5in notebook that can be upgraded, customised and repaired in ways that no other notebook can. It's even available as a kit of modules that users can change and assemble themselves, installing only the modules they want as plug-in units. Think of it as Lego for geeks."

    ""If these systems aren't used to create propaganda and misinformation yet, I don't know what certain governments are doing with their time," ex-Google engineer Blake Lemoine said. "We're letting the engineering get ahead of the science. We're building a thing that we literally don't understand.""

AI And The Copyright Problem. Making Sense Of Generative AI Copyright… | by Paul DelSignore | Geek Culture | Mar, 2023 | Medium - 0 views

  •  
    "Just like Napster forced legal music streaming to advance, popular tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E2 will force us to establish AI best practices and ethical guidelines. The IP for Generative AI will continue to be debated in the culture and in the courts, and we will collectively come to agreements. The only issue is whether regulation will ever be able to keep up with the rapid pace of AI."
