I’m Not Convinced Ethical Generative AI Currently Exists

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-06-10 13:30:00

Are there generative AI tools I can use that are perhaps slightly more ethical than others? —Better Choices No, I don't think any one generative AI tool from the major players is more ethical than any other. Here’s why. For me, the ethics of generative AI use can be broken down to issues with how the models are developed—specifically, how the data used to train them was accessed—as well as ongoing concerns about their environmental impact.

techcrunch.com Aisha Malik 2025-06-10 16:08:58

Twitch on Wednesday announced it will begin limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads, and will delete content if a channel exceeds the limit. The company said it’s introducing the change because highlights haven’t been effective in driving discovery or engagement, and because storage is costly. The storage cap goes into effect on April 19. The change applies to highlights, which are snippets edited from a channel’s past broadcasts, as well as other uploaded content. Clips and

Survey shows Elon Musk remains popular among Republicans, but both sides dislike Mark Zuckerberg

In a nutshell: Two of the most influential CEOs in the tech world, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have closely aligned themselves with President Donald Trump recently, but how has that affected the nation's view of these billionaires? According to a new survey, more people dislike the pair than like them. However, while Republicans understandably have a more favorable opinion of Musk, it seems almost everyone dislikes Zuckerberg.

I tested Oppo's super-thin foldable for a week, and it made my iPhone 16 Pro feel ordinary

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-06-10 19:00:17

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Obscura VPN – Privacy that's more than a promise

Unlike VPNs with a “no-logs” policy, Obscura is provably private by design. Even “no-logs” VPNs see both your identity and your internet activity, meaning you have to blindly trust their pinky-promise for privacy. This is exactly why some privacy-conscious folks will tell you not to use a VPN at all. Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets. It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.

Oppo's latest foldable, unveiled Thursday, is being marketed as "the world's thinnest book-style foldable when closed."
