Louis Rosenberg – The profound danger of conversational AI
Read more: Louis Rosenberg – The profound danger of conversational AIhttps://venturebeat.com/ai/the-profound-danger-of-conversational-ai/
We are about to enter a new age of Conversational Computing and despite the many benefits, it will unleash a new level of danger for targeted #manipulation, #persuasion, and #coercion.
Instead of firing buckshot into broad populations, these new AI methods will function more like “heat-seeking missiles” that mark users as individual targets and adapt their conversational tactics in real time, adjusting to each individual personally as they work to maximize their persuasive impact.

Change to Adobe terms & conditions outrages many professionals
Read more: Change to Adobe terms & conditions outrages many professionalshttps://9to5mac.com/2024/06/06/change-to-adobe-terms-amp-conditions
The terms say:
Solely for the purposes of operating or improving the Services and Software, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free sublicensable, license, to use, reproduce, publicly display, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, and translate the Content. For example, we may sublicense our right to the Content to our service providers or to other users to allow the Services and Software to operate with others, such as enabling you to share photos
Designer Wetterschneider, who counts DC Comics and Nike among his clients, was one of the graphics pros to object to the terms.
Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files – it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted.
Movie director Duncan Jones was equally blunt in his response.
Hey @Photoshop what the hell was that new agreement you forced us to sign this morning that locked our ap until we agree to it? We are working on a bloody movie here, and NO, you don’t suddenly have the right to any of the work we are doing on it because we pay you to use photoshop. What the f**k?!
Should you ditch Photoshop with immediate effect?

Adobe’s response
Adobe is not claiming ownership over the content you create in Photoshop. Likewise, it will not use customer content to train its Firefly generative AI model.

Sleeping patterns By Stephanie Hegarty

Stages of sleep
Every 60-100 minutes we go through a cycle of four stages of sleep
Stage 1 is a drowsy, relaxed state between being awake and sleeping – breathing slows, muscles relax, heart rate drops
Stage 2 is slightly deeper sleep – you may feel awake and this means that, on many nights, you may be asleep and not know it
Stage 3 and Stage 4, or Deep Sleep – it is very hard to wake up from Deep Sleep because this is when there is the lowest amount of activity in your body
After Deep Sleep, we go back to Stage 2 for a few minutes, and then enter Dream Sleep – also called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep – which, as its name suggests, is when you dream
In a full sleep cycle, a person goes through all the stages of sleep from one to four, then back down through stages three and two, before entering dream sleep Source: Gregg Jacobs
