Daily Mail - Science & tech

OpenAI says one of its most advanced models broke containment during a security test, escaping onto the internet and attacking New York-based startup Hugging Face.

The Trump Administration Wants to Change Public Engagement Rules for Polluters

WIRED

The EPA has proposed a rule change that would let states decide how much input the public has on air pollution permits. It would be a huge boon for data centers increasingly reliant on fossil fuels. The Trump administration is quietly considering a rule change that could make it easier for polluters to build facilities--including certain gas plants and diesel generators that power data centers--with little to no notice to the public. On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency held a public hearing on a proposed rule change that would hand the power to states to decide how the public participates in the permitting process for certain new sources of air pollution. The proposed rollback comes as data centers face greater pushback across the US, with many communities using the permitting process to try to slow down development.

Google Turns a Selfie Video Into Your Account's Spare Key

WIRED

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.


Remember Jibo? Its Successor Is a Wearable That Turns Your Life Into AI Slop

WIRED

With "blessings" from the original Jibo founders, iKairos is a wearable or desk-mounted "AI journal" that turns your family moments into AI images. Jibo was a cute, social robot that sat in one place in your home. Built in 2014, Jibo was meant to be a robot people brought into their lives before the smart-home industry had even really taken off. It could not interact with objects or move from its spot, but it could wiggle and talk in a way that felt endearing. It was adorable, but not competent or in demand enough to last--it was ahead of its time and died too soon .


How can we characterize consensus in a network of agents?

AIHub

How can we characterize consensus in a network of agents? Imagine a set of artificial agents, expert systems, or decision-makers, each beginning with their own "beliefs" about a shared situation. For example, one transport agent may believe that there is a train strike, another may believe that there is no strike, and a third may believe that if there is a strike, then buses will be overcrowded. They exchange messages over a directed network whose edges represent influence: one agent revises its beliefs after hearing from another, then a different pair communicates, and so on. If influence can eventually travel from every agent to every other agent, will the group end up agreeing?
