| Apple hires Google’s former AI boss to help improve Siri Posted: 03 Apr 2018 05:01 PM PDT  John Giannandrea, Google's former head of search and artificial intelligence, is joining Apple. The hire, first reported by The New York Times, comes one day after the executive announced he was stepping down from his role at Google, itself a surprise move amid a broader executive reshuffle that now makes much more sense in hindsight. Giannandrea, a machine learning expert who joined Google back in 2010, is a huge get for Apple, which has struggled for years to make progress in fast-moving and increasingly important AI fields like computer vision and natural language processing. Giannandrea will report directly to CEO Tim Cook as the leader of "machine learning and AI strategy," according to the Times. Both Facebook and Google, and to... |
| Facebook suspends 273 accounts and pages linked to Russian misinformation agency Posted: 03 Apr 2018 03:22 PM PDT  Facebook says it has suspended 70 Facebook accounts, 138 Facebook pages, and 65 Instagram accounts controlled by the Internet Research Agency. Chief security officer Alex Stamos announced the news today, posting a handful of sample ads and pages that it says were run by the Russia-linked disinformation outfit. "The IRA has consistently used inauthentic accounts to deceive and manipulate people," writes Stamos. "It's why we remove every account we find that is linked to the organization — whether linked to activity in the US, Russia or elsewhere." Facebook has also removed any ads linked to these accounts. According to Stamos, finding the pages took "months of work" by Facebook. Around 95 percent of the pages with language-specific... |
| A YouTube manager’s Twitter account was hacked to spread fake news during shooting Posted: 03 Apr 2018 03:04 PM PDT  As Twitter users searched for news about today's shooting at YouTube headquarters, hackers were actively compromising a verified employee account to spread misinformation. In the midst of the attack, an unknown hoaxer hijacked a verified Twitter account belonging to Vadim Lavrusik, a product manager at YouTube, and used the high-profile account to implicate a YouTube broadcaster in the shooting. The account hijacking seems to have taken place while Lavrusik and his colleagues were still near the scene of the attack: Lavrusik reported himself safe at 2:36pm PT, and the hoax tweets began posting just 20 minutes later. "PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY FRIEND I LOST HIM IN THE SHOOTING," one fake tweet read, linking to a picture of Keemstar, a... |
| Facebook says it will not extend GDPR privacy protections beyond EU Posted: 03 Apr 2018 02:53 PM PDT  Facebook has no plans to extend the user privacy protections put in place by the far-reaching General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, law to users of its social network around the globe, according to Reuters. CEO Mark Zuckerberg told the news agency in an interview that Facebook would like to make such privacy guarantees "in spirit," but would make exceptions. Zuckerberg declined to explain those exceptions, according to Reuters. "We're still nailing down details on this, but it should directionally be, in spirit, the whole thing," Zuckerberg said of which GDPR protections Facebook would not apply worldwide. He added that many of the protections provided by the GDPR are already part of his company's privacy settings, including the... |
| Snapchat lets Giphy back onto its platform after racist GIF incident Posted: 03 Apr 2018 02:46 PM PDT  Snapchat has allowed Giphy back onto its platform after it was removed when users found a racist GIF on the database earlier this month, Snapchat parent company Snap Inc. confirmed to The Verge. Instagram and Snapchat had both pulled Giphy from their platforms, but Instagram reinstated Giphy last week, with stricter moderation. Snapchat confirmed today that it would bring Giphy back since it has upgraded its moderation. The GIF initially appeared when users searched "crime" on the Giphy database, and it showed a white announcer celebrating the death of people of color while using a racial slur. Giphy has since apologized for the slip-up, and the company says it has combed through its database several times to detect any other problematic... |
| Spotify’s IPO was both a success and an uncertain forecast for the future of music Posted: 03 Apr 2018 01:51 PM PDT  Spotify's initial public offering today was both a success and a tepid forecast for the future of music streaming. The company's shares closed today at $149.60, up 12 percent from the initial reference price of $132, but down from a high of $165.90 when shares debuted on the New York Stock Exchange this morning. That gives the Swedish company a market valuation of around $26.6 billion. According to Reuters, Spotify shares slid from the opening high due to lackluster confidence in Spotify's business model, which itself is a symbol of the future economics of the music industry. Spotify's unique IPO approach, called a direct listing and one typical of smaller companies in industries like biotech, involves selling shares direct to the... |
| Neo Cab is an emotional survival game about the last ride-share drivers Posted: 03 Apr 2018 01:16 PM PDT  In the quiet, dreamy world of the recently announced game Neo Cab, gig workers are a dying breed. Technology has evolved past the need for flesh-and-blood drivers behind the wheel. Those who remain offer a different kind of service: human contact. "[Riders] want to talk to another human being and connect with them and share their story," says creative lead Patrick Ewing. "There's that taxi cab confessions angle that fascinated me — like anybody could get in this car." Lina, the protagonist of Neo Cab and a newcomer to the fictional city of Los Ojos, has managed to keep her job because of her empathetic abilities. She knows when to hold her tongue with a rude customer, when to offer encouragement before a first date, or commiserate about... |
| Facebook launches bulk app removal tool to clean up your privacy settings Posted: 03 Apr 2018 01:15 PM PDT  Facebook now lets you bulk remove third-party apps, and any and all posts those apps may have published on your behalf, a welcome privacy change that should make it easier to strip access to your profile from services you no longer use. The change, precipitated by the ongoing Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, is part of a series of sudden changes Facebook is making to mitigate fallout from the revelation that third-party developers have had generous access to users' data and could use it in ways Facebook had little to no control over. Facebook confirmed the bulk removal option to TechCrunch today, after The Next Web's Matt Navarra publicly commented on the policy change on Twitter. Now, when you go to the Apps portion of your... |
| Shooting at YouTube headquarters leaves suspect dead and several injured Posted: 03 Apr 2018 01:12 PM PDT  At least four people were shot at YouTube's headquarters in San Bruno on Tuesday, according to a police spokesman. Three victims were taken to local hospitals. A fourth person died at the scene, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said during a press conference Tuesday afternoon. Shooting victims included a 36-year-old male in critical condition, a 32-year-old woman in serious condition, and a 27-year-old woman in fair condition, according to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital spokesman Brent Andrew. Another woman present at the shooting was treated for a twisted ankle at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center, a spokesman said. The shooting suspect was a woman, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini... |
| Watch this Russian postal drone smash into a wall on its inaugural flight Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:45 PM PDT  Following in the steps of a DC-based security robot that ran into a water fountain is a Russian postal drone that crashed into a building mere seconds after its inaugural liftoff, as reported by Reuters. The test, which occurred in the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude, was meant to carry a package to a nearby village in order to demonstrate a new way to deliver mail. Video captured by Reuters shows the drone taking off from a launchpad, with the package emblazoned with the Russian Post's blue-and-white logo. Everything seems initially fine, and then it can be seen tipping sideways. It's the beginning of a r/nononono moment. It then careens at full speed into a three-story residential brick building. There's an audible "GAH!" from someone in the... |
