Scientists once hoarded pre-nuclear steel, and now we’re hoarding pre-AI content

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-14 04:15:46

Former Cloudflare executive John Graham-Cumming recently announced that he launched a website, lowbackgroundsteel.ai, that treats pre-AI, human-created content like a precious commodity—a time capsule of organic creative expression from a time before machines joined the conversation. "The idea is to point to sources of text, images and video that were created prior to the explosion of AI-generated content," Graham-Cumming wrote on his blog last week. The reason?

On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former senator from Georgia and current administrator of the SBA, participated in a ceremony where a new flag of the United States was raised over the agency’s headquarters.

Lawyers Just Discovered Something About Meta's AI That Could Cost Zuckerberg Untold Billions of Dollars

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-15 15:09:59

A legal expert found that Meta's AI is able to spit out entire portions of books verbatim — and if he's right, it could be seriously bad news for the company and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. First, a quick primer. All the AI that's commercially buzzy at the moment, like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Meta's Llama, is trained by feeding in huge amounts of data. Then researchers do a bunch of number crunching using algorithms, basically teaching the system to recognize patterns in all that data so thoroughly th

Last week I rented a BMW from Sixt (Italy). The default rental driver profile had Bluetooth disabled, so I created my own BMW ID, paired it with the car, removed the existing profile, and even triggered software updates. When returning the car, I told the Sixt representative that I had linked my BMW ID — they assured me that the vehicle would be reset. Today — just before deleting the “My BMW” app — I checked out of curiosity. Surprise: I still had full remote access: - live location tracki

"Microsoft Locked My Account – I Lost 30 Years of Photos and Work"

I’m beyond frustrated. Microsoft randomly locked my account after I moved 30 years' worth of irreplaceable photos and work to OneDrive. I was consolidating data from multiple old drives before a major move—drives I had to discard due to space and relocation constraints. The plan was simple: upload to OneDrive, then transfer to a new drive later. Instead, Microsoft suspended my account without warning, reason, or any legitimate recourse.

'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified. Cue the unimaginative plot, vapid characters and uninspired cinematography, and that is the bulk of these money-making ploys. But the How to Train Your Dragon remake from DreamWorks, in theaters now, admittedly left me awestruck.
