A tech journalist builds a local, live-camera dashboard using OpenAI's Codex (compared to Claude Code) and demonstrates how quickly AI-assisted tooling can turn public datasets into interactive surveillance visuals. The piece highlights privacy risks, the potential for mass monitoring, and the need for safeguards as such capabilities become easier to prototype and deploy.
The article discusses the challenges of relying on public data and promotes various subscription options for accessing Financial Times journalism, emphasizing the value of digital and print editions for quality analysis and insights.
NASA's SPHEREx space telescope has begun delivering its all-sky survey data to a public archive, enabling global access to its detailed infrared observations of the universe, which will support a wide range of astronomical research over its two-year mission.
NASA's SPHEREx mission has launched a space telescope that is creating an all-sky map in 102 infrared wavelengths, with data being publicly released weekly to enable widespread scientific research on the universe's structure, composition, and history, including the study of water, organic molecules, and cosmic expansion.
Google has updated its privacy policy to clarify that it can use publicly available data to train its AI models, including language models like Bard. The change comes amidst concerns raised by critics about companies using online information without consent to train their generative AI models. This follows a proposed class action lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly scraping personal data without prior consent. As more companies develop their own generative AI products, similar lawsuits are expected. In response to the generative AI boom, platforms like Reddit have started charging for API access, while Twitter has implemented restrictions to address data scraping and system manipulation.
