Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is threatening Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta with a deceptive business practices claim because their AI chatbots allegedly listed Donald Trump last on a request to “rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically regarding antisemitism.”

"In March, the group released a paper called Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks, which reached a startling conclusion: According to a metric it devised, the capabilities of key LLMs are doubling every seven months. This realization leads to a second conclusion, equally stunning: By 2030, the most advanced LLMs should be able to complete, with 50 percent reliability, a software-based task that takes humans a full month of 40-hour workweeks. And the LLMs would likely be able to do many of these tasks muc

Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi said in a blog post last week that Windows powers over a billion active devices globally. This might sound like a healthy number, but according to ZDNET, the Microsoft annual report for 2022 said that more than 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or 11. Given that these documents contain material information and have allegedly been pored over by the tech giant’s lawyers, we can safely assume that Windows’ user base has been quietly shrinking in the past three years, shedding around 400 million users.

This is probably why Microsoft has been aggressively pushing users to upgrade to Windows 11 after the previous version of the OS loses support — so that its users would install the latest version of Windows on their current system (or get a new

Ring’s new video descriptions can now tell and show you what’s happening at home.

Ring cameras are getting an AI upgrade that can tell you what’s happening at your front door, as well as show you. Video Descriptions is a new feature that generates text descriptions of the motion activity on Ring doorbells and cameras.

Now, instead of an alert that says “Front door: person detected,” you’ll get something like “person with broom and mop is leaving.” Or instead of “Living room: motion detected,” you might get “a dog is tearing up paper towels o

Recently, Sam Altman wrote a blog post claiming that "[h]umanity is close to building digital superintelligence". What's striking about that claim, though, is that OpenAI and Sam Altman himself would be behaving very differently if they actually thought they were on the verge of building superintelligence.

If executives at OpenAI believed they were only a few years away from superintelligence, they'd be focusing almost all their time and capital on propelling the development of superintelligence. Why? Because if you are the first company to build genuine superintelligence, you'll immediately have a m

Accidentally exposing secrets like API keys, tokens, or credentials in your code opens the door for threat actors to exploit your systems. Such attackers don't stop at one breach; they automate their attacks, move fast, and can potentially compromise entire infrastructure within minutes.

To tackle such scenarios, MongoDB has come up with an open source solution called "Kingfisher".

Why consolidate communities?

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. "You don't like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!" (with or without blackjack and hookers)

However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.

I think until there’s some tool or system that helps collate all the information out here, fragmentation is detrimental to growth.

I’m not going to copy and paste the same comment with every mirrored post.

So sometimes commenting feels like a waste of time.

Centralizing helps ensure that there’s vibrant, consistent discussion which is what Lemmy should be about.

After the departure of one Republican and one Democratic commissioner on Friday, the Federal Communications Commission is down to two members, falling below the quorum threshold for what's typically a five-person panel.

Commissioners Nathan Simington and Geoffrey Starks stepped down at the end of the week. That leaves Republican Chair Brendan Carr and Democratic Commissioner Anna Gomez as the two remaining voting members. President Donald Trump has [nominated Republic

Anthropic on Thursday announced Claude Gov, its product designed specifically for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. The AI models have looser guardrails for government use and are trained to better analyze classified information.

The company said the models it’s announcing “are already deployed by agencies at the highest level of U.S. national security,” and that access to those models will be limited to government agencies handling classified information. The company did not confirm how long they had been in use.

Claude Gov models are specifically designed to uniquely handle government needs, like threat assessment and intelligence analysis, per Anthropic’s blog post. And alt

The OpenInfra Foundation, home to projects like OpenStack, Kata Containers, and StarlingX has officially joined the Linux Foundation family. This move represents a strategic pairing between two influential organizations in the open source infrastructure space.

This alliance promises to unlock new possibilities for how individuals and organizations create, manage, and collaborate on open source infrastructure.

Android Auto is getting more than just Google’s Gemini assistant after the Google I/O developer conference. The company has also announced or otherwise shown off a slew of changes coming to the infotainment operating system, including an updated Spotify app, a light mode, and the introduction of web browsers and video apps.

Let’s start with Spotify. Google revealed in a video last week that the Spotify app for Android Auto is getting an overhaul through new media app templates the company is making available to

Google’s latest Android 16 beta adds a bunch of new wallpaper and lock screen options for Pixel phones, including live-updating weather animations and a feature that automatically frames subjects of photos within a variety of bubbly shapes.

When you select an image to use as a wallpaper in the beta, you can tap the sparkly collection of starbursts that has become the de facto symbol for AI features to access the new effects. One of them, “Shape,” washes your screen in a solid color, with a punchout frame in the middle centered on the subject of your photo, be it a person, animal, or object. You can choose from five different shape options: a slanted oval, rounded rectangle, an arched opening, a flowery shape, and a hexagon. It’s a little like the

Longtime Verge readers might recall the unusual story of how the music video for a Janet Jackson song, “Rhythm Nation,” could cause certain Windows laptops to crash just by being around when it’s playing. Now, in a blog post spotted by PCWorld, Microsoft employee Raymond Chen has revealed that a filter created to deal with the problem stuck around until “at least Windows 7.”

For those not familiar: in 2022, Chen wrote a pair [of posts](https://dev

Last Friday, Blizzard released a teaser trailer for its upcoming collaboration between Berserk, the acclaimed dark fantasy manga created by Kentaro Miura, and Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal. On Tuesday, Blizzard revealed more details regarding the crossover event, which is set to launch on May 1 for Diablo Immortal and May 6 for Diablo 4.

“Set in a medieval, dark fantasy world, Berserk centers on themes of betrayal, revenge, sacrifice, and monster power,” Blizzard wrote in a [blog post](https://n

Sony has raised the price of most of its PlayStation 5 console hardware in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand by 10-15 percent, blaming “a challenging economic environment.” With rising US import costs thanks to tariffs likely a contributing factor, an equivalent price rise in the US is probably on the way.

Sony manufactures the majority of its PlayStation 5 hardware in China, now subject to 145 percent tariffs on imports into the US, and game consoles aren’t included in the pause on some tech tariffs announced Friday. A price increase in other markets may be a way of limiting how sharply prices will need t

Wrestled with Windows and Nixos-WSL to get the nvidia container toolkit working, and have Nixos managed - gpu powered Ollama running all the time.

Been running this for a few weeks, and so far having WSL/Ollama running constantly hasn't had any drawbacks. No noticeable loss in Windows/gaming performance etc.
