Mark Zuckerberg's AI Manifesto Is 6,500-Words--and Barely Says Anything

WIRED

AI is shifting the culture, from tech CEO manifestos to 1 am job interviews. Today on Brian Barrett, Zoë Schiffer, and Leah Feiger break down Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500-word AI manifesto and why it ultimately rings hollow. Plus, why are job seekers scheduling bot-run interviews at 1 am? WIRED's Andy Greenberg also joins to unpack the best findings from Black Hat and Defcon, from a hacked kids' smartwatch to a coin-sized device that can hijack a Boeing 737.

I thought it was fun. The dialogue was kind of whatever, beautiful shots of the Sicilian ocean. And I went with my husband who loves to remind me that he studied Latin and Greek in high school, and he actually liked it too. I think everyone who is complaining about it needs to stop.


McDonald's Built a 515-Page Dossier on Me. It Says I'll Never Stop Eating There

WIRED

McDonald's Built a 515-Page Dossier on Me. It Says I'll Never Stop Eating There I requested a copy of my data from McDonald's loyalty program and received an extensive, personalized report that algorithmically predicts my next purchase. When I first downloaded the McDonald's app years ago, I signed up for its loyalty program hoping to get better deals. Why not get some cheap French fries? While I understood that this would entail some type of data tracking, I didn't grasp how the information would be used to algorithmically predict my next purchase.

McDonald's boss on abuse claims: 'I don't want to talk about the past'

BBC News

McDonald's boss on abuse claims: 'I don't want to talk about the past' The boss of McDonald's UK and Ireland has said she doesn't want to talk about the past when asked about allegations of abuse at the fast-food chain. Lauren Schultz told the BBC what had happened in recent years was unacceptable but said we have drawn a line under it. A BBC investigation in 2023 heard from more than 100 McDonald's workers in the UK claiming they faced a toxic culture of sexual assault, harassment, racism, and bullying. Last year, staff said they still faced sexual abuse and harassment. The UK equality watchdog agreed tougher measures with the company to protect staff in November, including new sexual harassment training.

Catfishing a conman back on dating app days after jail release

BBC News

Within days of being released from his seventh prison term for romance fraud, Raymond McDonald was back on a dating app looking for his next victim. Over more than 20 years he had racked up 58 convictions, mostly for fraud and theft, while telling lies on an industrial scale and taking thousands of pounds from women for holidays and weddings which were never going to happen. This time when he went looking, the BBC was waiting. He thought he was having a date with Kaye, but instead found himself being approached by a BBC reporter and camera crew. He had met Kaye online and, calling himself Rob, told her he was a deep-sea diver looking for a wife.

We limit the target languages for this augmentation process to Arabic, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Hebrew, Thai,Danish,French,Italian,Dutch,Polish,andPortuguese. Interestingly,justaddingthislanguage code effectively changes the outputs as shown in Table 7. We further subsample 50% of the synthetically generated questions. During inference, we first retrieve top 15 passages using mDPR, and then feed the questions andconcatenated passages intothemGEN model, withlanguage tags.

Popular Science

Shadow or no shadow, the rodents have a special set of ecological skills. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Despite advances in meteorological technology, we still keep a close eye on a rodent's burrow every February 2 for a weather forecast. While groundhogs --also called woodchucks--have been associated with the end of winter and beginning of spring for centuries, there's more to know about our rodent friends than their amateur Al Roker'ing. Unlike bears, groundhogs are true hibernators.
