Our paid AI futureToday, we're at the start of a similarly exciting new technology wave with generative AI. Even Google, the master of free online services, is considering paid subscriptions for some of its new AI offerings. So, why will generative AI offerings be paid from the start?

CNN —A hacker or hackers have accessed nearly seven million profiles of 23andMe customers, a spokesperson for the genetic testing firm told CNN on Tuesday, including in some cases users’ ancestry reports, zip codes and birth years. In addition, the hackers accessed a subset of family tree information on 1.4 million DNA Relatives profiles, the 23andMe spokesperson said in an emailed statement. In the case of 23andMe, the hackers reused old usernames and passwords from other websites to break into 23andMe customer accounts — a rudimentary but effective technique called credential stuffing. The 23andMe spokesperson, who declined to be named, did not respond to questions about who carried out the hack. “We have taken steps to further protect customer data, including requiring all existing customers to reset their password and requiring two-step verification for all new and existing customers.”

Priscilla Chan and husband Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to eradicate human disease by 2100. One researcher's excited by the potential, but said it'll likely take lots of time and money to complete. The data could be used to make new discoveries that completely eliminate human disease, Chan and Zuckerberg said in a statement. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the couple's LLC, told The Register that they plan to have their product running by 2024. "AlphaFold has sparked a wave of innovation by showing people what's possible," Chris Bahl, the chief scientist at AI Proteins, previously told Insider.

An Iowa school district asked ChatGPT if a list of books "contain a description or depiction of a sex act." In an effort to decide what books to ban from school libraries, an Iowa school district asked ChatGPT whether a list of books contained a description or depiction of an explicit act. When ChatGPT replied that 19 books did indeed contain such scenes, the school district banned 19 books, various news outlets reported this week. We asked ChatGPT the same question three times, and it gave us three very different answers. Of the 19 books removed by the Mason City school district, 17 have been reviewed by age-rating nonprofit Common Sense Media.

Cheaper streaming options with unique programming were luring viewers, leaving Netflix in a tough spot as it raised prices. Paramount+, started in 2021, is joining forces with sister Showtime to widen its offerings. Disney, Paramount and WBD also operate cable and broadcast networks, and don’t specify what portion of the expense is allocated to streaming. Its subscribers, worth $136 a year in revenue apiece, are also more valuable than those of its rivals. Warner Bros Discovery on May 23 rebranded its streaming service as Max, which will include HBO programming along with Discovery’s reality TV shows.

Социальная сеть Instagram ужесточила политику в отношении преследований в личных сообщениях. Instagram даст пользователям возможность блокировки как отдельного пользователя, так и любых новых учетных записей, которые может завести навязчивый собеседник. Тем не менее существует практика создания новых учетных записей. Он позволит скрывать в автоматическом режиме запросы сообщений, в которых имеются оскорбительные слова, фразы и смайлики. В одном из ближайших обновлений приложения для Android и iOS станет доступным новый функционал.

Lucrurile au luat o întorsătură mult mai rea în ultima perioadă, Google ajungând în punctul în care ameninţă că va părăsi Australia dacă legea va intra în vigoare. Conform The Sydney Morning Herald, citat de Engadget, Mel Silva, managing director al Google Australia, a avertizat Senatul că „dacă această versiune a codului va intra în vigoare, nu ne va mai lăsa o altă alternativă decât cea de a opri Google Search în Australia”. Însă, după ce au observat efectul pe care l-a avut pandemia asupra industriei media, guvernul a decis că plăţile vor deveni obligatorii. Într-un blog post, Google afirmă că este „dedicată încercării de a atinge un compromis şi a găsi o modalitate de funcţionare”. Nici Facebook nu este de-acord cu legea care ar impune plata ştirilor, dar reţeaua socială a anunţat că nu se va retrage din Australia, ci se va opri din a oferi ştiri utilizatorilor săi, scrie adevarul.ro.

Здесь нет ни сенсорного экрана, ни популярной ОС (в качестве платформы используется проприетарное ПО на базе Linux), ни работы с приложениями, передает ria.ruПравда, Xor Titanium отличается специфическими функциями. Цена на Xor Titanium составит 3900 долларов (примерно 300 000 рублей по текущему курсу).
