A simple Alexa command exposed my husband's sordid affair in graphic detail: Cheaters use 'sneak mode' to cover their tracks at home... but you can still uncover their hidden evidence

Daily Mail - Science & tech

'I found out because I bought a new Amazon Alexa and while setting it up realized this is linked via our family prime account,' the woman shared on Reddit. 'Found in history, 'Alexa play beautiful love songs,' followed by the sound of them having sex.' To find such recordings saved to an Amazon Alexa, open the Alexa app, tap More, go to Alexa Privacy, then select Review Voice History to see recordings by date or device. Users can play back clips, delete individual recordings or delete their entire voice history. If you own a Google Home, open the Google Home app and tap Activity to review recent home events, including camera, doorbell and device activity. To check Assistant recordings, go to your Google Account activity controls and review or delete Google Assistant activity.


Replace or Reshape: How AI Could Change the Way We Work

TIME - Tech

Christopher Marquis is a professor at the University of Cambridge and the author of The Profiteers. In 1930, in the depths of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes wrote a short essay called . It is often remembered for one striking prediction: by 2030, people in wealthy countries might only need to work about 15 hours a week. What Keynes imagined was a society advanced enough to solve what he called the "economic problem" of basic material provision. If technology kept improving, and societies kept growing richer, then fewer hours of human labor would be needed to produce the necessities and comforts of life.

Any suggestion that these craft have been recovered with non-human intelligences inside, dead or alive, stretches credulity to breaking point.



Image Empire – a new short film from Alan Warburton

AIHub

The film forms part of a research project undertaken by Alan Warburton which also includes a research paper and a series of satellite events. The film is based on doctoral research undertaken at Birkbeck's Vasari Centre for Art & Technology. It was commissioned by the National Videogame Museum in collaboration with the Open Data Institute (ODI) and Cambridge University's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence . The ODI hosted a webinar on 6 May to discuss the content of the film. The panellists explored what AI can and can't do, what effects a collapse of real and virtual could have on visual culture, and if we're living in a post-truth world.


CB-SLICE: Concept-Based Interpretable Error Slice Discovery

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Despite strong average-case performance, deep learning models often exhibit systematic errors on specific population groups, known as error slices. Identifying these groups and the root causes of their failures is critical for model debugging and bias mitigation. However, existing error Slice Discovery Methods (SDMs) typically generate explanations disconnected from the model's inference process, thus only approximating the underlying error source and may be inaccurate. We address this limitation by leveraging Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs), whose predictions are directly dependent on human-understandable semantic concepts. Since downstream task failures in CBMs commonly arise from concept mispredictions, concept representations provide a strong candidate for error slice identification, offering fine-grained explanations directly linked to the error source. Building on this insight, we introduce CB-SLICE, a concept-based SDM that groups samples with shared concept prediction failures and identifies the keyword concepts most responsible for each slice's failure mode. Across multiple benchmarks, we show that CB-SLICE outperforms state-of-the-art methods in uncovering well-known biases while providing richer and more faithful explanations of model errors.

Premier League predictions - how accurate were BBC Sport pundits?

BBC News

Premier League predictions - how accurate were BBC Sport pundits? Last summer, 33 BBC TV and radio pundits made their predictions for the Premier League season, picking their champions and their top four. Twenty-one of them thought Liverpool would win it, and none of them got more than two clubs right. Although six pundits correctly picked Arsenal as champions, and everyone had the Gunners and Manchester City in their top four, Matthew Upson was the only one to have the top two in the order they actually finished. Martin Keown, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sue Smith, Leon Osman and Jermaine Beckford were the other pundits who also backed Mikel Arteta's side.
