Instagram's teen accounts don't work

1 week ago | komando.com | Kim Komando

Instagram’s teen accounts don’t work: A group of testers created fake profiles to see what the algorithm would push. Instead of the so-called protection enabled by default, they were still shown sexual reels, eating disorders, drugs or worse (paywall link). Meta’s clapback? The report is flawed and most of the content is “PG-13” at worst. Sure. Tags: accounts, drugs, Instagram, Meta, report
Faulty AI detectors

✍️ Faulty AI detectors: More students are being accused of using tools like ChatGPT when they didn’t. Like Leigh, who got a zero on her assignment after Turnitin said it was bot-written (paywall link). She appealed, but now records herself working. Others even track their keystrokes to avoid false positives. What a mess. Tags: Link, Now, students, tools, track

đź¤– Smarter than any human alive: Google cofounder Sergey Brin and DeepMind boss Demis Hassabis popped up like your weird cousins at Thanksgiving to say: AGI might land â€śright before or after 2030.â€ť Brin thinks smarter algorithms matter more than horsepower, Hassabis says we need a few big breakthroughs. Nobody knows what â€śthinkingâ€ť machines will do, though. Sleep well.Â Tags: algorithms, Google, matter, Sleep, Thanksgiving

Days of hanging out drinking coffee are ending: Cafes across the country are cutting off Wi-Fi or banning laptops altogether. Why?

Life savings wiped

đź’¸ Life savings wiped: Think these scams only happen to older adults? A 26-year-old lost over $30,000 after getting a fake text from â€śWells Fargoâ€ť about a $1,300 charge. He replied no, got a call and scammers convinced him to transfer his money to a new account. Poof, all gone. FYI: Banks will never ask you to move your money to stop fraud.

Meetings now come with surveillance

Chat GPT It doesn’t bother me anymore, but it used to. Maybe it’s happened to you. You’re in a Zoom call, wearing pajama bottoms, and someone casually says, “Oh, my AI assistant is taking notes of everything everyone is saying.”Wait, what?! There’s a digital stenographer silently documenting every sigh, awkward pause and half-baked idea you mutter? AI meeting assistants like Otter.ai, Fireflies, Notion and others are the new must-have workplace tool.

đź”ž Forget the days of finding Dadâ€™s Playboy under the bed: If you have teens, talk to them about this. Teens are romancing bots and AI on apps. Some bots have filters, others barely try. The risk isnâ€™t just sexting, itâ€™s warping emotional development in a world where your â€śgirlfriendâ€ť never says no and always texts back. Speaking of â€¦ Years ago, a monk was selling flowers on the Playboy Mansion grounds, and no one but Hef could get him to leave.
Android vs. phone thieves

Android vs. phone thieves: Starting later this year, if your phone’s setup wizard gets skipped post-theft, the OS forces a second reset and locks down the phone until it gets proof of life, aka your old screen lock or Google login. Next up: Android yelling, “WHO SENT YOU?!” after every reboot. Tags: Android, Google, login, screen, setup
