  3. Soooo I was sitting outside around 11pm, filming an approaching hedgehog, when I suddenly heard this very loud sound. Whatever it is doesn't sound happy. I've looked up the distress calls of hedgehogs and martens because both live around here. But this doesn't really sound like either.

    Does anyone have any idea what animal this could be? I'm in Europe btw.

    Machine vision is based on pattern-matching. A model is trained by exposing it to images, some of which contain lorries (or tanks, or aircraft) and some of which do not. Over zillions of exposures, the computer deduces rules that allow it to #identify the things its trainers want to teach it about. Because zebra-striped trucks are unlikely to appear in the training data, says Todd Humphreys, an engineer at the #University of Texas at Austin, an #AI that encounters one in the real world may not realise what it is looking at.

  6. VICTORY: #Meta Strips #FacialRecognition Code From #SmartGlasses App After Public Outcry

    Just days after a damning WIRED report exposed that Meta had quietly embedded facial recognition technology (#FRT ) code into millions of phones, the tech giant has quietly acquiesced in demands to reverse course.

    Last week, researchers identified code in #MetaAI , a companion app for its line of smart glasses, that could convert images of faces into unique #biometric signatures to #identify strangers in public. EFF’s Threat Lab verified these findings through static analysis, and reminded consumers to think twice before buying or using Meta’s #surveillance glasses.

  12. #FBI agent explains how easy it is to #ID people posting #AIporn without #consent

    The earliest arrests under the Take It Down Act ( #TIDA ) suggest that cops don't have to work too hard to #identify people illegally posting and selling #nonconsensual sexualized #deepfakes of women online.

    Last week, the FBI arrested two men after visiting #porn websites and clicking on hashtags like #AI #Deepfakes or video titles like "AI_tits" or "Ass_AI."

    Algorithms don’t just measure productivity — they refine extraction. They #identify who can be pushed harder, who will break, and who can be replaced. The #experiment runs 24/7.

  15. Identity? Hungry hungry Hummingbird...

    But it seems like a cross between an Ana's Hummingbird and a Rufous Hummingbird, to me.

    “Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the [DHS] […].”

    In the ad, the company previewed future surveillance of our streets: a world where #biometric #identification could be unleashed from consumer devices to #identify , #track, & locate anything — human, pet, & otherwise.

    The ad for Ring’s “ #SearchParty ” feature highlighted the #doorbell camera’s ability to scan footage across #Ring devices in a neighborhood, using #AI analysis

  23. #ColdCase Inquiries Stall After Ancestry.com Revisits Policy For Users - Slashdot

    Crime-scene #DNA submitted to #genealogy sites has helped investigators #identify suspects and human remains by first identifying relatives.

    The use of public records and family-tree building is crucial to this technique, and its main tool has been the genealogy site #Ancestry , which has vast amounts of individual DNA profiles and public records.
