Google Turns a Selfie Video Into Your Account's Spare Key The next time you're locked out of your Google account, you can use your face as part of the account recovery process. Google has a new way for users to sign in to their accounts: a selfie video. If you've ever lost your device and gotten locked out of your Google account, you know it can feel like a desperate, Kafkaesque process to recover access and get back in--especially for people who run their digital lives, from email messages to calendar appointments, on Google software. This new sign-in option is an additional way to unlock your Google account, like a spare key hidden in the bushes. "We always recommend that you set up more than one option," says Claire Forszt, a product manager at Google who focuses on identity and engagement.

Firm hacked by rogue OpenAI models says it is'a wake up call' The co-founder of Hugging Face, a technology start-up that was hacked after some of OpenAI's most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models went rogue, said on Thursday that the incident is a wake up call for the industry. Thomas Wolf told BBC's Newsday radio programme that this will be one of the most common types of cyber attacks we see, but that most firms are not aware that the game has changed. The BBC has contacted OpenAI for comment. The ChatGPT-maker said on Tuesday that its AI models broke out of a secure test environment during a trial and launched a cyber attack. The firm said the incident was unprecedented and that it was conducting an investigation with Hugging Face.

Drop-off fees at the UK's major airports have risen by a third on average since last summer, new analysis has found. The RAC looked at the cost of pulling up at the closest point to terminals at the 20 busiest airports - 16 had put up their fees since last year. Two London airports, Gatwick and Stansted, topped the price table at £10. Trade body Airports UK said free drop-offs were available and fees were part of airports' business models and climate change objectives . London Gatwick's is the highest farewell fee, charging £10 for 10 minutes on the forecourt outside either of its terminals. At Stansted, £10 buys a more generous 15 minutes, at Express Set Down outside departures.

Ukrainian drones have hit several retail warehouses belonging to Russia's biggest online retailer, Wildberries, in a matter of days, dealing a blow to a large number of small and medium-sized businesses. After months of drone attacks on oil depots and refineries, Kyiv says it is now targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment, and disrupting supplies to the Russian army. But it has also frustrated hundreds of Russian sellers who depend on online marketplaces for their livelihoods, making the war feel closer to home after almost four and a half years. I am a mother of a disabled child, I've built the business myself, one woman complained on an expletive-laden social media post that went viral. I've lost 1m roubles (£9,500; $12,700)... We're already getting screwed over from every direction as it is.

Image caption, Google and its paranet company Alphabet have spent huge amounts on AI. Google parent Alphabet saw its business continue to grow in recent months, yet growing spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure put its leftover cash into negative territory. The company's free cash flow, the cash it maintained after paying for operations and investments, came in at negative $5.9bn (£4.3bn) for the first time in at least a decade, according to its past financial records. Alphabet's spending on AI is now expected to hit as much as $205bn this year, an increase from $190bn, as major tech companies race to build around a new wave of the technology. Meanwhile, Alphabet's combined quarterly revenue hit $119.8bn, up 23% compared with the same time last year. But the company's stock fell 4% in after hours trading.

OpenAI's rogue agents are a wake-up call to risks posed by artificial intelligence Last week Hugging Face - a company that hosts artificial intelligence models and datasets - was hacked . After it reported the incident to law enforcement, few would have predicted what came next: the culprits were revealed to be AI agents from OpenAI, which had broken out of containment and were acting of their own accord. The incident sounds like sci-fi: AI escaping and autonomously hacking its way into companies. But it is all too real - and about as terrifying as it sounds. It is a concrete demonstration of something we can no longer avoid confronting: AI systems have become extremely powerful and we do not seem to have reliable ways of curbing their behavior.

Elon Musk and the online right convinced themselves that Christopher Nolan's "woke" epic would go down in flames. For months, Elon Musk and the right-wing cranks he caters to on X have whipped themselves into a raging froth over the supposed desecration of an ancient Greek poem by one of the most successful movie directors alive. Now that their manufactured backlash has bombed, they're searching for ways to cope with the reality that they are increasingly divorced from popular opinion. Christopher Nolan's artistic crimes in bringing to the screen, according to Musk and others in a furor, were instances of what they called "historical inaccuracy" in a lavish fantasy teeming with monsters, witches, and undead spirits--mainly the casting of Lupita Nyong'o, who is Black, as Helen of Troy, and Elliot Page, who is trans, as Sinon. The grand total of approximately 10 minutes of screen time between these actors in a three-hour saga, combined with the general hysteria over "wokeness" in Hollywood, a rejection of Americanized dialog, and lingering misogyny regarding scholar Emily Wilson's 2017 translation of Homer's epic (the first by a woman), resulted in countless teeth-gnashing posts and calls for a boycott that never materialized.
