"Russia-Ukraine War First, we use Apple’s WPS to ana- lyze device movements into and out of Ukraine and Russia, gaining insights into their ongoing war that, to the best of our knowledge, have yet to be made public. We find what appear to be personal devices being brought by military personnel into war zones, exposing pre-deployment sites and military positions. Our results also show individuals who have left Ukraine to a wide range of countries, validating public reports of where Ukrainian refugees have resettled."

ACV001··on Is artificial consciousness achievable? Lessons from the human brain
We don't really need artificial consciousness. Actually, we should avoid it. We already have Artificial General Intelligence (contrary to common perception). Artificial consciousness will only complicate things. A lot. Better keep on enhancing the AGI we have and use it as a tool rather than having to deal with the emotional and ethical aspect of the AI in case it gets consciousness.

ACV001··on Battery-free self-powered sensor harvests magnetic energy
Are they omitting the fact that there are side effects? There is no free energy. So the energy they consume from the environment will either attenuate useful radio signals or will cause impedance in wires. It's not new anyway, you can listen to radio without any batteries by harnessing the energy from radio waves.

Bullshit for the insurance companies to charge more
ACV001··on Scammy AI-Generated Books Are Flooding Amazon
Remember - Amazon is a marketplace. They don't care what they sell as long as the sales go on. I stopped ordering books from amazon after I got some poorly printed (by amazon), blurry books. The problem is that amazon will not tell you if it is print on demand or a real book.

This is called cost of business. As long as the fines are smaller than the profit they made from this, it will continue in a form or another.
