But let's be real: 99% of the articles you encounter on this musty ol' web of ours aren't exactly awe-inspiring. They're a means to an end. The same is true for most videos, too. And in any such scenario, you aren't in it for the pleasure of reading or viewing and being entertained. You just want to get the gist of what's happening without wasting any time wading your way through unimaginative drivel.

We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well. How do we allow young people to build, communicate and hang out together? How do we build the future of communication at the same time? So we, you know, we've been, I think in a good way, working on this ever since we started. And when we were--this was almost 18 or 19 years ago--when we first launched the company and we had just four of us sitting in a room, we were literally the moderators, like we would rotate all the time.

A new wave of AI-powered gadgets on the market aims to integrate artificial intelligence into our daily lives like never before. Some of these AI wearables-including necklaces, rings, and wristbands, as well as portable devices- serve as productivity tools, while others claim to act as friendly companions listening to your everyday thoughts. Even OpenAI is working on a compact AI companion device.

Engineering YouTuber Dave Jones noticed this week that he had been opted into a set of new Workspace smart features without ever being asked. According to Google's help page for the features, the point of the on-by-default settings is to add its Gemini AI across Workspace in order to suck in all your Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Drive, and Meet data so that it can all be cross-referenced.

Non-disclosure states limit public access to real estate sales data. Home prices in these states are not publicly recorded, meaning buyers, sellers, and appraisers must rely on private data sources. The policy protects privacy, influences property taxes , and reflects state-level traditions and policy preferences. Home value estimates are still available through real estate professionals and platforms like Redfin, which use verified data sources.

On Tuesday, the city's leaders voted down a $2 million contract with Flock Safety, the company that operates Oakland's existing camera systems, after hundreds rallied against the threat of immigration authorities and other federal law enforcement spying on residents, bypassing the city's sanctuary policies. The issue has grown so contentious that two members of the local Privacy Advisory Commission resigned last week - and one subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department.

The world's largest online retailer says this amounts to "computer fraud" when not disclosed. The clash between the two companies offers "an early glimpse into a looming debate" over "agentic artificial intelligence." Perplexity is among several tech firms, including Google and OpenAI, racing "to rethink the traditional web browser around AI," with automated agents that can complete tasks like emailing or shopping.

Children and teens are surrounded by technology, and it is imperative to set them up for success. Developing digital literacy among youth is a critical part of child-rearing today. Digital literacy, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO; 2018) is "the ability to access, manage, understand, integrate, communicate, evaluate and create information safely and appropriately through digital technologies." There are many areas of competence within digital literacy, one of which is safety (UNESCO, 2018).

Jamie Siminoff founded Ring, a video doorbell and home security company. He prefers the title chief inventor rather than CEO. He published a book titled Ding-Dong: How Ring Went from Shark Tank Reject to Everyone's Front Door. And I have to admit that it is a great title for a doorbell company.

If you've been around, you might've noticed that our relationships with programs have changed. Older programs were all about what you need: you can do this, that, whatever you want, just let me know. You were in control, you were giving orders, and programs obeyed. But recently (a decade, more or less), this relationship has subtly changed. Newer programs (which are called apps now, yes, I know) started to want things from you.

They're asking ChatGPT how to handle behavioral problems or for medical advice when their kids are sick, USA Today reports, which dovetails with a 2024 study that found parents trust ChatGPT over real health professionals and also deem the information generated by the bot to be trustworthy. It all comes in addition to parents using ChatGPT to keep kids entertained by having the bot read their children bedtime stories or talk with them for hours.

Something general and meaningless can help divert small talk such as this. Oh, not sure or Enjoying it, I hope or This and that. These are empty-calorie phrases that keep the ball in the air without forcing you to divulge anything you don't want to divulge. It's also helpful to keep the context of these questions in mind. These people aren't prying. As you said, they're trained to make small talk so that customers feel comfortable. Depersonalizing the ask can help.

The use of conversational AI for customer service and sales is rapidly increasing, according to a new report from Twilio, which found 63% of organizations in either the final or complete stages of development, and 85% of consumers reporting interactions with an AI agent within the past three months. The report, "Inside the Conversational AI Revolution" (no registration required), also found that 99% of organizations anticipate their conversational AI strategy will change in the next 12 months.

The Department of Homeland Security says the revamped system can help enforce laws that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, although experts worry that it threatens Americans' privacy and could potentially disenfranchise legitimate voters. New DHS regulatory documents detail how the network gathers information from various government datasets, including passport records, driver's license databases and Social Security files.

"The camera eats first." A decade ago, that phrase might have been a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's a shorthand for how every corner of life-dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief-can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

We live in a time where privacy is something we actually have to work to enjoy. Achieving a level of privacy we once had takes work, and you need to start thinking beyond a single desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone -- all the way to your LAN. Also: Beware the 'Hi, how are you?' text. It's a scam - here's how it works Before I scare you all off, understand that this begins on the desktop and works its way out to the LAN.

The groups argued that KlammereFyr removed the artistic context and immorally sexualized actors, sometimes by cropping scenes or "changing the lighting to accentuate certain features," TorrentFreak reported. To groups, it seemed clear that KlammereFyr was violating a rarely tested part of copyright law that protects artists' "integrity" by shielding their "moral rights." In Denmark, the "right of integrity means that even in cases where you are allowed to make use of a work, you are not allowed to change it

The house is positioned on the site with the aim of responding in a relatively simple way to two central questions: How can it capture a panoramic view of the horizon, which also brings us the presence of the sea? How can it embrace outdoor spaces that simultaneously protect the residents' privacy from neighbors' views and ensure comfort on days of strong wind?

When you married into your husband's family, they welcomed you as one of their own. If I read your letter correctly, they view you as a family member, and your family as blended into their own. Because you need more privacy and boundaries than you have been able to establish, you may need your husband to help you get the message across in a way they can accept without becoming offended.

When I was a teenager, I arrived at a friend's house and she accidentally texted me instead of her then boyfriend. "Saoirse is here," she wrote, "we're heading to the shop, OK?" You can imagine my bewilderment when I received the text, and again when I asked if she had meant to send it to her dad or something, and was told that no, her boyfriend just likes to know where she is to make sure she's safe.
