Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

I think this is a good precautionary analysis but I’d bet huge amounts of money against a relevant quantum computer by 2029 or even 2035.

Comparison showing £1,443 yearly extra earnings on the real Living Wage versus the Government’s National Living Wage, covering months of food, transport, and entertainment costs.

Someone paid the real Living Wage earns £1,443 more a year than someone on the government’s 'National Living Wage'💰

That extra £1,443 gives people choices, dignity and the ability to fully participate in society.🌟

AI chatbots often validate delusions and suicidal thoughts, study finds Stanford researchers analysing 391,000 messages warn conversational technology may reinforce psychological vulnerabilities

Very nice obituary. I had the good fortune to go to a lecture by Tony at Oxford in the early 2000s.

AI toys for young children need tighter rules, researchers warn In first study of its kind, Cambridge researchers found AI toys could misread some children's emotions.

"When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed." "

Impressed by the new zerodayclock.com effort/collective/call highlighting that the window between vuln and exploit now must be assumed as t=0.

The call to action is solid, though sadly nothing terribly new. Secure by design, adapt policies and practices. Liability, eridacate classes of vulns.

Children's Toys Are Shipping With Adult AI Inside Them Despite banning minors from using their chatbots, AI companies are happy to let their models be used in children's toys.

New report “suggests that leading AI companies are doing little to police how developers who pay for access to their AI models are using them. One consequence, the group warns, is that AI toymakers can ship products to children that are powered by AI models that are only intended for adults.”
