    🚨 Meta is rolling out new AI safety features for teens.

    Meta AI can now alert parents if it detects conversations suggesting self harm or suicide. Teen users will also get stronger default AI safety protections as the company expands its safety measures worldwide.

                  “The transformation element and the poster design appear to reference the politically charged sci-fi film They Live (1988), in which the main character encounters a pair of sunglasses that not only expose the extractive messaging of advertisements but reveal that humanity is being controlled, subdued, and exploited by a secret population of aliens masquerading as people. In the film, it’s later revealed that some humans have accepted monetary bribes to collaborate with the aliens.“

                      I thought at first the meta pervert glasses were a continuous connection, only to realize now that you need the meta AI app in order to export.

                      You need the ...Meta AI app... in order... to export...okayyy lol. Damn the user privacy really is zero; not to mention every other person's privacy in their sweep.

                      This is just an attempt to lock-in another market - now that their VR world is dead, and facebook/instagram is slowly dying, they're refocusing to another market that's dependent on wanna-be influencers and gross manosphere idiots.

                      I really was hoping meta would die off eventually but people keep taking the bait. Between flock cameras, waymo cameras, ring cameras, tesla cameras, meta glasses cameras., etc etc etc...we are really becoming quite a multi-perspective surveillance state.

                          The EU relaxes its replaceable batttery rules for smart glasses after US pressure.

                          Smart glasses are in European regulators’ and lawmakers’ crosshairs over privacy and surveillance concerns.

                          But the bloc’s batteries regulation also held up the EU rollout of Meta’s latest model in recent months because the glasses’ built-in batteries cannot be easily removed and replaced.

Водночас Meta збільшує інвестиції в свій мега-датацентр у Луїзіані до $50 млрд — сигнал, що гіганти продовжують ставку на ШІ, незважаючи на ринкову турбулентність.

                                                      Історично такі періоди невизначеності — коли геополітика (удари по Ірану) накладається на секторальний перегляд (AI trade) — часто створюють розрив між короткостроковою панікою та довгостроковими трендами. Meta, інвестуючи $50 млрд в інфраструктуру, грає на випередження: якщо AI попит справді зросте, ті, хто має потужності, отримають перевагу. Падіння SK Hynix — нагадування, що ланцюжок створення вартості в чіпах вразливий до переоцінки.

                                                      Для українського інвестора висновок простий: диверсифікація між оборонними активами (золото, кеш) та довгостроковими AI-темами залишається робочою стратегією, але з увагою до геополітичних тригерів.

                                                          Apparently now GitHub is trying to pull a Meta/Linkedin a la login walls.

                                                          Their argument is exploitation and excess AI load.
                                                          While both might be true, this might not be the entire argument and probably defies the purpose of the open access GitHub.

                                                            Always require CEOs who are younger than you are to have ethics equal or greater than yours --- if they don't have those ethics, then fire them. If they "cannot" be fired because they structured their company to control the majority of voting shares that should have been allocated to an independent Board of Directors, you KNOW you're dealing with a and he deserves every of bad karma heading his way.

Zentrales Element: In der Bildmitte liegt ein dicker, gestapelter Geldbündel aus US-Dollar-Scheinen, das mit einer Papierbanderole zusammengehalten wird. Das gesamte Bündel ist farblos (in Graustufen gehalten) und wirkt stark verschmutzt, abgewetzt und mit dunklen, fleckigen Brand- oder Dreckspuren übersät, um den Eindruck von „schmutzigem Geld“ zu verstärken.

Unterer Text: Im unteren Drittel steht in fetten, weißen serifenlosen Großbuchstaben der deutsche Satz: „10% UMSATZ MIT BETRUG!“.

Stil und Atmosphäre: Die Grafik nutzt einen harten Schwarz-Weiß-Kontrast mit der roten Linie als einzigem farbigen Akzent. Die düstere Ästhetik erzeugt eine anklagende, investigative und alarmierende Stimmung.

                                                                Interestingly, Meta has been implementing a "tune your algorithm" type of feature, which is surprisingly user-focused. You can select the topics you want to see more of and what you want to see less of, mute words, add your preferences... of course, Meta has their own agenda and wants you to get as hooked as possible so they can make money off you as a product, but I like the idea that it is not completely opaque.

                                                                I am building something similar in my Mastodon instance but truly without any monetary goal.

                                                                For algorithm haters out there, remember that reverse chronological order is an algorithm too. If you like getting video recommendations on YouTube, PeerTube, or music recommendations in a playlist, that is an algorithm too. I honestly do not understand all the algorithm hate when it is focused on the tech itself rather than commercialism.

                                                                The capitalist nature of algorithms is, of course, something to stand against, since it works by exploiting users. But if it is for user benefit without any rotten backstory, algorithms in my world are great.

Rumor is a new version of GLM is getting ready for release. Artificial Analysis (@ArtificialAnlys) Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 scores 51 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and is cost and token efficient compared to its peers Muse Spark 1.1 (xhigh) improves 8 points over Muse Spark 1.0 (43) in three months. It is effectively tied with GLM-5.2 (max), GPT-5.4 (xhigh), and GPT-5.6 Luna (max) at 51, three points behind Grok 4.5 (high, 54), with the leading edge at Claude Fable 5 (60), GPT-5.6 Sol (max, 59), and Claude Opus 4.8 (max, 56). The gains concentrate in Scientific Reasoning, coding, and knowledge; agentic knowledge work lags on GDPval-AA v2. @AIatMeta shared access with us ahead of public release for benchmarking. Congratulations to @AIatMeta, @finkd, and @alexandr_wang on the release! Key Takeaways: ➤ Muse Spark 1.1 gains substantially on the first Muse Spark release. This was driven in particular by gains in agentic knowledge work (GDPval-AA v2) and coding (SciCode, TerminalBench). On Humanity's Last Exam, it reaches 45%, within a point of Claude Opus 4.8 (max, 46%) and ahead of GPT-5.5 (44%) and Grok 4.5 (high, 40%) ➤ The most token-efficient of the models effectively tied at 51 and among the cheaper models to run. Muse Spark 1.1 used 94M output tokens to run the Intelligence Index, fewer than GPT-5.4 (xhigh, 109M), GPT-5.6 Luna (max, 125M), and GLM-5.2 (max, 141M).

                                                                      Sure, sneaky practices to normalise AI slop and the use of people's data without explicit consent aren't disappearing overnight, but this is a win regardless. It's also a reminder that "it's the future, it's inevitable, we should embrace it" is plain false.

                                                                      Nobody, even those who made AI Ghibli avatars or generate 2 sentence response emails through ChatGPT not knowing (or caring) about all the negatives, wants their images, and the faces of themselves and their family to be fair game and their privacy to be violated. Maliciousness on the internet is not a new thing, but features like that give bad actors new tools to spread false info, create revenge porn, discredit, humiliate and target anyone, especially women and marginalised groups. How we react to them sets a precedent for the future.

If we want people to stop using consumer surveillance tech, the strategy to use isn't regulation (though pass the laws too, I guess), it's hating the shit out of anyone who does use it. People will not use that stuff if doing so elicits reactions that make them ashamed to show their faces in public.

                                                                        "I saw all these comments about if you wear those glasses you're basically a predator or a creep, and I was like, 'oh, maybe it's not a good idea to have those,'" he told Engadget. But he says he understands why people have concerns. "I didn't really think that through all the way ... there are a lot of times where it's not appropriate to wear cameras on your face. And even though I would have no intention of do[ing] anything creepy with them, it didn't even occur to me [that] other people just assume that automatically."
