Security News This Week: A Creative Trick Makes ChatGPT Spit Out Bomb-Making Instructions

WIRED 

After Apple's product launch event this week, WIRED did a deep dive on the company's new secure server environment, known as Private Cloud Compute, which attempts to replicate in the cloud the security and privacy of processing data locally on users' individual devices. The goal is to minimize possible exposure of data processed for Apple Intelligence, the company's new AI platform. In addition to hearing about PCC from Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, WIRED readers also received a first look at content generated by Apple Intelligence's "Image Playground" feature as part of crucial updates on the recent birthday of Federighi's dog Bailey. Turning to privacy protection of a very different kind in another new AI service, WIRED looked at how users of the social media platform X can keep their data from being slurped up by the "unhinged" generative AI tool from xAI known as Grok AI. And in other news about Apple products, researchers developed a technique for using eye tracking to discern passwords and PINs people typed using 3D Apple Vision Pro avatars--a sort of keylogger for mixed reality.
