Googbye Goodle. To mitigate possible security risks, Google will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for two years. The deletion will thoroughly wipe out all vulnerable data on Gmail, YouTube, and Google Drive/Docs/Photos/Calendar. The policy will not affect business or school-associated accounts, just personal ones. To keep your account active, you need to log in. Even logging in through a third-party site or app will work.
We doubt most of us will notice this change. It will mostly remove the extra Gmail accounts grand parents create when they forget their Facebook password.
Battle Bots! (not that one). The ongoing conversation about the safe implementation of AI is... well... ongoing. Recently OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman met with Congress and suggested AI developers should be required to get a license from the government to release each model (including updates to existing models). While many can agree an unregulated AI industry could get nasty in a hurry, experts see this solution as a threat to competition in the market since these additional requirements may remove small companies from the conversation.
“Nasty in a hurry” may be a great name for a Funk album, but it is a terrible plan for the future of robot human relations.
Superior-Soaker Redux. It's no secret that water guns are dope, and kids got no money, SO if making excellent water guns is your passion, you gotta make them for people who can afford them. Two companies, China's Mijia Pulse and a German startup called SpyraThree, are creating ultra-powerful electric water guns that fire like automatic weapons. Each shot delivers nearly a shot glass of water up to 50 feet away and takes just 10 seconds to reload. Before you ask, each costs under $200.
At least if AI does try to take over we will have water guns to short circuit them?
