🤖 San Francisco’s youngest billionaires are betting on a new kind of job boom

SF Standard

When I pressed Foody on his utopian vision, and why he thinks tech companies won’t hoard the spoils of the AI boom, he waved his hand and described a future in which everyone has $10 million in purchasing power, lives in a nice apartment, and works only if they want to.

Oh yeah, because every 22-year-old has vast experience of what it’s like at the workplace for all types of jobs across the country. Problem solved, everyone, you can now work when you want and buy anything you want! It’s getting ridiculous.

🤖 Prove this photo is real

Roc Camera

AI has blurred the line. Now, how we take, share, and create images has changed. Social media has made sharing images easy. Generative AI now creates any image we can imagine…By combining attested sensor data, zero-knowledge proofs, and a tamper-proof environment, we've built Roc Camera to capture verifiably real photos.

This is a technical solution for what I think is more of a social and cultural problem. It suggests a dystopian future where any form of media is assumed to be fake unless it is verified. I hope that trust and accountability can remain at the center

🤖 OpenAI buys Sky, an AI interface for Mac

TechCrunch

Sky is a product I actually thought could have some real utility. Security was always the issue though, and now that OpenAI controls them, I’m not sure I’d want OpenAI to be able to essentially see everything I do on my computer.

🏎️ Tesla makes it hard to get $50,000 Roadster deposit refunded after 8 years

Electek

Tesla charged between $50,000 and $250,000 in deposits for the Roadster, depending on whether customers opted for the “Founders Series” or not. Some people had placed that money in Tesla’s hands for eight years without the automaker delivering anything.

Wild that they can just hold on to your money for so long without delivering anything or refunding people without them having to waste a bunch of time going through the hassle of dealing with customer service. I’m sure they are putting all of that money to good use.

🧊 We’re suing ICE for its $2 million spyware contract

404 Media

On Monday 404 Media filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding the agency publish its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware that can remotely break into mobile phones without the target even clicking a link.

How much do you want to bet they’ve utilized this and targeted people without getting the appropriate warrants? 404 continues to do the work of our lord and savior, Charlie Kirk /s

đź’¬ Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase

Skyfall

Two days ago, Slack reached out to us and said that if we don’t agree to pay an extra $50k this week and $200k a year, they’ll deactivate our Slack workspace and delete all of our message history.

What a class act they run over at Slack and Salesforce. A week’s notice to go from $5k a year to $200k a year for a non-profit when it probably costs Slack pennies on the dollar to host their data.
