Sad to hear about the passing of @HenryCLee My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and colleagues. I had to chance to listen to him in person years ago at the @orlandoscience center, was an amazing source of knowledge and insight.

@DJSnM @johnkrausphotos @Apple What kind of bandwidth do you think they get for personal use for those phones? :) im thinking 4800 bps 😁

50 years ago @Apple was founded, today astronauts are using iPhones on their way to the moon

🚨 Stanford just analyzed the privacy policies of the six biggest AI companies in America. Amazon. Anthropic. Google. Meta. Microsoft. OpenAI. All six use your conversations to train their models. By default. Without meaningfully asking. Here's what the paper actually found. The researchers at Stanford HAI examined 28 privacy documents across these six companies not just the main privacy policy, but every linked subpolicy, FAQ, and guidance page accessible from the chat interfaces. They evaluated all of them against the California Consumer Privacy Act, the most comprehensive privacy law in the United States. The results are worse than you think. Every single company collects your chat data and feeds it back into model training by default. Some retain your conversations indefinitely. There is no expiration. No auto-delete. Your data just sits there, forever, feeding future versions of the model. Some of these companies let human employees read your chat transcripts as part of the training process. Not anonymized summaries. Your actual conversations. But here's where it gets genuinely dangerous. For companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon companies that also run search engines, social media platforms, e-commerce sites, and cloud services your AI conversations don't stay inside the chatbot. They get merged with everything else those companies already know about you. Your search history. Your purchase data. Your social media activity. Your uploaded files. The researchers describe a realistic scenario that should make you pause: You ask an AI chatbot for heart-healthy dinner recipes. The model infers you may have a cardiovascular condition. That classification flows through the company's broader ecosystem. You start seeing ads for medications. The information reaches insurance databases. The effects compound over time. You shared a dinner question. The system built a health profile. It gets worse when you look at children's data. Four of the six companies appear to include children's chat data in their model training. Google announced it would train on teenager data with opt-in consent. Anthropic says it doesn't collect children's data but doesn't verify ages. Microsoft says it collects data from users under 18 but claims not to use it for training. Children cannot legally consent to this. Most parents don't know it's happening. The opt-out mechanisms are a maze. Some companies offer opt-outs. Some don't. The ones that do bury the option deep inside settings pages that most users will never find. The privacy policies themselves are written in dense legal language that researchers people whose job is reading these documents found difficult to interpret. And here's the structural problem nobody is addressing. There is no comprehensive federal privacy law in the United States governing how AI companies handle chat data. The patchwork of state laws leaves massive gaps. The researchers specifically call for three things: mandatory federal regulation, affirmative opt-in (not opt-out) for model training, and automatic filtering of personal information from chat inputs before they ever reach a training pipeline. None of those exist today. The uncomfortable truth is this: every time you type something into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Meta AI, Copilot, or Alexa, you are contributing to a training dataset. Your medical questions. Your relationship problems. Your financial details. Your uploaded documents. You are not the customer. You are the curriculum. And the companies doing this have made it as hard as possible for you to stop.

AI agents are semi- or fully autonomous systems that can perceive, reason, and act independently, integrating with software platforms to complete multistep tasks with minimal human oversight. But there are a host of risks and challenges that companies need to be aware of as agentic AI matures. Learn more: bit.ly/4c1Gkri

Excited about our new strategic partnership with @OpenAI. Developers and companies of all kinds are eager to run services powered by OpenAI models on AWS, and our unique collaboration will provide a stateful runtime environment for them that’s powered by OpenAI’s frontier intelligence on Amazon Bedrock. OpenAI is also going big on our custom Trainium chips, which are 30-40% more price performant than comparable GPUs, to power their growth. Both the leading AI labs now have made significant commitments to Trainium, which is gaining a lot of momentum. We’ll be the exclusive 3P cloud distribution provider for OpenAI Frontier (which enables organizations to build, deploy, and manage teams of AI agents). And finally, we’re excited about our investment in OpenAI — it’s an extremely talented team with great products, IP, and vision for how they can continue to serve customers and enterprises. We think they’ll be one of the big winners in AI, we can help them grow, and we believe we’ll earn a strong return for Amazon over the long term. aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazo…

@ATT @ATTHelp : design suggestions: with the AT&T Voicemail Viewer App, why not have a function to report a phone number as spam?

Tomorrow at 10am PT legacy models (GPT-5, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini) will be deprecated in ChatGPT. openai.com/index/retiring…

@nbc @NBCSports @Olympics : NBC: the sound quality in the broadcast SUCKS. Why isn’t the music and voices of the singers in the stadium being broadcast?! It sounds like I’m listening through a tin can!

@PoShenLoh : enjoyed your presentation last night @ Satellite High School / @BrevardSchools . Had a question for you last night, but you ran out of time: there's been a resurgence of interest in traditional 'blue collar' jobs for younger people. You made a good joke about robots doing our laundry, cooking, cleaning...traditional blue-collar tasks. When AI-augmented robots come for the blue-collar jobs, and I think we can all say they will, what do we do then?

I'm ready to minimize my home. I got too much crap, so does my wife. We shouldn't need three small storage units to store stuff we never use or even look at. : (

@historydefined Adjusted for inflation since 1981, that would be around $740. Seems right for today's consoles.

Some kid had a great Xmas in 1981

@otokyo__ Yep! Line's been disconnected for a while, but from time to time I call it.

Does anyone who grew up before social media still remember their parents’ landline number??!
