OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Feature Collecting User Keystrokes, Raising Privacy Concerns

OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Feature Collecting User Keystrokes, Raising Privacy Concerns

OpenAI has launched a new feature for ChatGPT's desktop application on macOS, named 'Computer History,' which tracks user clicks, keystrokes, and other interactions. This feature is designed to enable ChatGPT to learn from user activity on their computer, thereby fine-tuning its AI model. According to Ari Weinstein, an OpenAI product and engineering manager, 'Computer History' allows the AI to create a timeline of user actions, which it can then use to understand work patterns, complete tasks, and suggest automations. A demonstration by OpenAI's Dominik Kundel showed the AI recalling the last Google Doc viewed and checking Slack history for shared documents. OpenAI states the feature is opt-in, automatically ignores incognito mode content, and allows users to blacklist apps from tracking. Users can also view and remove data from the AI's 'memory.'

NanoClaw Project on GitHub Lists WeChat Among Supported Messaging Platforms

NanoClaw Project on GitHub Lists WeChat Among Supported Messaging Platforms

The GitHub project 'nanocoai/nanoclaw' describes a lightweight alternative to OpenClaw, designed to run securely in containers. This AI assistant framework connects to multiple messaging applications, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, iMessage, Matrix, Google Chat, Webex, Linear, GitHub, and WeChat, as well as email via Resend. The project emphasizes flexible isolation, allowing each channel to connect to its own agent for privacy or sharing agents across channels for unified memory. It also features per-agent workspaces, scheduled tasks, web access, container isolation for sandboxing agents in Docker, and credential security through OneCLI's Agent Vault. The project aims to be easily understandable and customizable, with a focus on security and user control over their AI agents.

MIT Researchers Find AI Models Lose Source Attribution with Scale, Complicating Regulation

MIT Researchers Find AI Models Lose Source Attribution with Scale, Complicating Regulation

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), Zheng Dai and David K Gifford, have published a paper titled "Outputs of Generative Diffusion Models are Often Unattributable," which will appear in Nature Communications. Their findings indicate that as generative diffusion models, such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, grow larger and are trained on more data, their outputs become increasingly difficult to attribute to specific source material. This phenomenon, termed 'attribution decay,' suggests that the more data a model processes, the less it 'remembers' the origin of its generated content. The researchers tested this by removing specific training data, like images of the Mona Lisa or all of Leonardo Da Vinci's work, and found that very large models could still reproduce similar images or styles. This challenges the notion that AI models merely copy their training data, suggesting a form of creativity.

AI Tools Exploit Social Media Holiday Photos for Sophisticated Fraud Attempts

AI Tools Exploit Social Media Holiday Photos for Sophisticated Fraud Attempts

A new and sophisticated scam is emerging where artificial intelligence (AI) tools are being used to exploit holiday photos posted on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Fraudsters are leveraging AI to accurately detect the precise location where a photo was taken, even from seemingly indistinct images. New research conducted by McAfee, a prominent anti-virus software producer, demonstrated that common AI tools can identify photo locations with over 90% accuracy by analyzing subtle details such as background architecture, signage, and ambient light. This advanced capability allows criminals to create highly convincing fraud attempts, such as text messages or emails claiming 'unusual activity' on a bank card while the user was in a specific, AI-identified location. The scam relies on the credibility lent by knowing the victim's travel details, prompting them to click on malicious links and inadvertently divulge sensitive financial information, making it difficult for victims to recognize the ...
