☆ AI is killing the grand bargain at the heart of the web. 'We're in a different world.'

AdvertisementAdvertisementAI is undermining the web's grand bargain, and a decades-old handshake agreement is the only thing standing in the way. Now, though, generative AI and large language models are changing the mission of web crawlers radically and rapidly. Without a supply of potential consumers, there's little incentive for content creators to let web crawlers continue to suck up free data online. It's also open to manipulation, especially given the voracious appetite for quality AI data. Because robots.txt is voluntary, web crawlers can also simply ignore the blocking instructions and siphon the information from a site anyway.

The US Copyright Office is taking a big step toward new rules for generative AI. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe US Copyright Office is inching closer to creating new rules and regulations around generative AI and how the technology uses the work of authors and other creators. In the government rule-making process, a public comment period typically happens before a final rule is proposed and adopted. The major tech companies behind these generative AI tools use the crawled data to train their models without paying the creators who produced the original content. More online businesses are slowly becoming aware of the degree to which the web is being scraped for the benefit of generative AI.

☆ A hidden Tesla feature nicknamed 'Elon mode' is under scrutiny from regulators after a hacker discovered a way to get rid of a prompt to drivers to keep their hands on the wheel

Auto regulators ordered Tesla to hand over data about a hidden Autopilot mode that lets drivers stay hands-free. It reportedly removes a prompt telling drivers to put their hands on the wheel, and was discovered by a software hacker. Typically, if a driver using Tesla's Autopilot or Full Self-Driving feature takes their hands off the wheel, a visual symbol blinks on the car's touch screen. Tesla's manual says that, when using Autopilot, drivers should "keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times." AdvertisementAdvertisementElon Musk said last December that a software update would let some Tesla drivers disable the "nag," but that hasn't yet been implemented.

A traffic jam in the Panama Canal could take at least 10 months to clear up, new data shows. Holiday shopping will likely be impacted, with higher prices and out-of-stock items. Since ships are taking much longer to move through the body of water, delayed shipments will likely screw up holiday shopping plans. Either way, higher prices for the ships likely mean higher prices for the items they're bringing to your area, Slagle explained. The Panama Canal traffic jam can be chalked up to unprecedented conditions in Panama.
