🧠 Microsoft is reintroducing Recall in Windows 11 — a feature that captures screenshots every 3 seconds of your activity to create an AI-powered memory. What could go wrong?

It now includes:
🔐 Opt-in only
📍 Local device processing
🧑‍💻 Windows Hello authentication

But many still ask: is it a productivity boost or a privacy liability? 😳
Even with safeguards, the idea of your system quietly watching everything you do raises serious concerns about digital trust.

🚨 Crosswalk buttons in three California cities were hacked to play AI-generated deepfake voices of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

The result?
🎭 Fake Musk begging for friendship and Cybertruck deals
🧠 Fake Zuck joking about AI dominance and democracy
⚠️ Messages disrupted accessibility features for the visually impaired
📹 Videos went viral across social media

This bizarre breach is more than a prank — it raises serious questions about infrastructure security and AI misuse in public spaces. Thoughts?

Some numbers. $2,500 is left on our fundraiser. We're halfway. I'd freaking love to hit that.

But if we can't, bare-bones I need $300 for a generator rental (we are off-grid and fully self-powered. More funds and I'll do bigger solar this gear), $100 for educational decor, and I pulled $700 from my (meager) savings for poorer campers already.

$1,100 would do a LOT.

Watermarks are coming to ChatGPT-4o image generation—for some.

OpenAI is reportedly testing watermarking on images created by free-tier users of ChatGPT-4o. This change could:

📌 Differentiate free vs. paid outputs
🧠 Add trust & transparency to AI art
🛠️ Prepare the model for broader API integration

With ChatGPT’s image model gaining traction for creating stunning visuals, watermarking may help curb misuse—but could also shape how businesses and creatives use the tool.

Developers, marketers, and designers: this is one to watch.
