😳 AI CAN HEAR YOUR PASSWORDS!?
You read that right. A frightening new study suggests that AI models can figure out your password... FROM THE NOISE OF YOUR TYPING!
WTF! It sounds absolutely crazy, but apparently, it’s over 90% accurate at figuring your typing out, based on a laptop keyboard (desktop users, you might fare better).
A study reports how the researchers pressed each of the 36 keys on a MacBook Pro 25 times in a row, using different fingers and with varying pressure. The sounds were recorded both over a Zoom call and on a smartphone placed a short distance from the keyboard.
The team then fed part of the data into an AI which learned to recognise features of the acoustic signals associated with each key.

I didn’t think I’d be using a Taylor Swift GIF to represent AI, but here we are.
“This positional information could be the main driver behind the different sounds,” says the author of the study, Joshua Harrison.
The system was then tested on the rest of the data.
The results reveal that the system could accurately assign the correct key to a sound 95% of the time when the recording was made over a phone call and 93% of the time when the recording was made over a Zoom call.
Holy sh*t. Be careful on Zoom guys, it looks like hackers just went up a level.

💰 META DITCHES SCIENCE TO CHASE AI MONEY
Meta has decided to ditch scientific research in the name of… money!
They are ditching their protein folding division (used for medical research) and instead are looking to bolter AI which pays.
They have axed the team that used artificial intelligence to create the first database of more than 600mn protein structures, in a move that shows Meta is abandoning science for the sake of profits.

It’s a two-GIF kinda day.
The team consisted of twelve individuals who have lost their jobs, as Meta undergoes a “year of efficiency” according to Zuck.
Meta’s generative AI team has seen a huge influx of staff since Spring, as they race to catch up to OpenAI and Google. Race on!
