| Comma.ai founder George Hotz wants to free humanity from the AI simulation Posted: 09 Mar 2019 04:35 PM PST  What keeps George Hotz, the enigmatic hacker and founder of self-driving startup Comma.ai, up at night is not whether his autonomous car company will be successful or what other entrepreneurial venture he might embark on next. No, instead, Hotz says he's tortured by the possibility that all of us are in an advanced simulation observed by either an omnipotent extraterrestrial or supernatural being, or an artificial intelligence far beyond the realm of human conception and understanding. "There's no evidence this is not true," an animated Hotz told a crowd at his SXSW talk on Friday, aptly titled "Jailbrealing the Simulation" and billed on the festival's website as an exploration of whether breaking out of a simulated universe means we... |

| Facebook’s former chief of security says its privacy pivot is ‘punting’ on its hardest issues Posted: 09 Mar 2019 02:24 PM PST  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a bombshell announcement earlier this week that his company would pivot to a "privacy-focused communications platform" that prioritizes encrypted private messaging and groups over public-facing posts and the algorithm-driven News Feed. According to the company's former security chief, Alex Stamos, the move could mean that some of Facebook's toughest issues around moderating speech and curbing bad behavior effectively disappear. "Mark Zuckerberg decided he can't be in the middle anymore. The middle is where you lose continuously," Stamos told a crowd at Vox Media's SXSW event series in Austin, referring to Facebook's attempt to straddle a line between strictly controlling speech and behavior on its... |
| Google patent shows possible controller design for its game streaming service Posted: 09 Mar 2019 02:19 PM PST  Earlier this year, word broke that Google is exploring a game streaming service powered by Chromecast, and a newly-discovered patent shows off what could be the controller that service would rely on. Later this month, Google is hosting a mysterious event during the Game Developers Conference that very well could revolve around its the rumored streaming service, which in past reports has been likened to a "Netflix for games" and is said to be built on the technology Google developed for its Project Stream trial last year. The patent itself is for a notification system for the controller that notifies a player when a game is now available, that a user has received an invitation, a status chance on a leaderboard, or a chat request from... |
| Maryland Court reinstates Adnan Syed’s conviction Posted: 09 Mar 2019 01:17 PM PST  A court in Maryland has overturned a ruling that would have granted Adnan Syed, the subject of the podcast Serial, a new trial, The Baltimore Sun reports. The ruling is a setback for Syed and his legal team, who had hoped that a new trial would potentially lead to his freedom. In 2000, a jury convicted Syed of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, who had been found dead in a Baltimore park the year before. Serial brought a renewed interest in Syed's case, and raised the possibility that he might be innocent, or at the very least, might not have been properly represented by his attorney. The Maryland Court of Special Appeals granted Syed an appeal for his case, during which, his legal team was permitted to introduce new evidence —... |
| Amy Klobuchar suggests taxing companies making money off user data Posted: 09 Mar 2019 12:26 PM PST  Minnesota senator and presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar has floated the idea of taxing tech companies when they exploit user data. Platforms like Facebook "use us, and we're their commodity, and we're not getting anything out of it," Klobuchar said today during a SXSW interview with Recode co-founder Kara Swisher. "When they sell our data to someone else, well, maybe they're going to have to tell us so we can put some kind of a tax on it." Klobuchar acknowledged that she was simply floating an option, not putting forward a detailed policy prescription. And the idea isn't nearly as mainstream as passing privacy legislation or toughening antitrust policies, two areas Klobuchar also emphasized — saying she wanted to scrutinize whether... |
| Slack is rolling out a dark mode to iOS and Android beta users Posted: 09 Mar 2019 12:22 PM PST  Workplace collaboration app Slack is starting to test a dark mode for users, joining others, like the mail app for Windows 10 and Facebook Messenger. It's not available to everyone just yet, but it is rolling out to beta testers. 9to5Mac and 9to5Google spotted the iOS and Android updates, noting that the feature is currently being tested, and helpfully points out how to activate it for yourself. To get it now, you have to be part of Slack's beta testing program — something you can join. You can join by heading over to the app's settings, and scroll down to the "Join Beta" section, which prompts you to provide your name and e-mail address. Once approved and you update your app accordingly, you'll then have a toggle that will allow you to... |
| Jordan Peele’s Us turns a political statement into unnerving horror Posted: 09 Mar 2019 11:23 AM PST  Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special-event releases. This review comes from the 2019 SXSW Interacti ve Festival. When Jordan Peele's directorial debut Get Out hit screens in 2017, it was a revelation. Peele was known as an incisive comedian from his racially frank, wide-ranging sketch show Key and Peele, but nothing in his history suggested he had such a talent for crafting mesmerizing horror stories. Get Out is a startling, frightening film, but it's also meticulously crafted to make the audience politically and socially uncomfortable, with a candid, unflinching message about how black and white Americans interact, and an allegorical underpinning designed to make viewers... |
| I tried to get abs at SXSW but couldn’t handle the burn Posted: 09 Mar 2019 10:52 AM PST  The cosmetic procedure pop-up is as upbeat as I imagined. It's 80 degrees and humid in Austin, Texas today. It feels like a swamp, really, but all the women at RealSelf's house couldn't care less about the heat. They want their free beauty treatments, and I specifically came to get abs. RealSelf is a website and app that's been around for a decade. It provides people more detailed information about cosmetic procedures through user-generated reviews and photos, and it makes money through doctors' on-site advertisements. For SXSW, the company branded a house to offer people free consultations and treatments. Visitors can get their faces microneedled, have a breast augmentation... |
