Image AI Generated A research team, led by eye surgeon Giuseppe Giannaccare from the University of Cagliari, conducted an experiment revealing a concerning aspect of AI, specifically ChatGPT.  The study integrated ChatGPT with a Python-based data analysis model to swiftly generate a set of convincing but fake data, aimed at comparing treatments for keratoconus, an eye disease.  The results provided fictitious support for one of the procedures, raising ethical and practical questions about the integrity of medical research. The study emphasizes the need for methods to detect fraudulent data, showcasing AI's potential as both a problem and a solution in scientific research ethics.  The discovery underscores the importance of responsible AI use and ethical considerations as society navigates the transformative power of these technological tools.  The potential misuse of AI to generate false data for financial gain in the medical sector is identified as a risk, urging ca...

Image AI Generated Mozilla has announced a significant update for Firefox on Android, allowing users to install extensions similar to the desktop version.  Starting from December 14, users can enhance their mobile browsing experience with a variety of extensions, totaling more than 400 options.  The process involves visiting the add-ons section, choosing from popular categories like ad blockers or productivity tools, and installing the selected extension.  Developers are encouraged to adapt their desktop extensions for Android, with Mozilla providing resources to support the transition.  This expansion aims to bring versatility and customization to Firefox for Android users.

Image AI Genreated Tumblr is discontinuing its Post+ feature, which allowed creators to monetize their content through subscriptions for exclusive access.  This change will be implemented starting December, with the removal of the option to enable Post+ on blogs.  By 2024, both the creation and access to such subscriptions will be eliminated. Importantly, existing posts under this subscription will not be deleted but will become private.  Creators can choose to make them public or delete them, while subscribers can continue viewing these posts until January 2024.  Users who subscribed via iOS need to manually cancel to avoid future charges, but others will be automatically unsubscribed without charges.

Image AI Generated Google is updating the web version of Drive to enhance user accessibility.  The new home page, replacing "My Drive," aims to simplify file access by displaying the most relevant items prominently.  While "My Drive" remains accessible, the revamped home page introduces features like personalized file suggestions based on user activity and Calendar events.  Users can opt for file or folder suggestions, accompanied by details on why the suggestions are made, ownership, and location.  Filters such as modification date, location, people, and file types are retained for efficient file organization.  For those preferring the traditional view, the option to maintain "My Drive" as the main display is available in Drive account settings.

Image AI Generated Ikea is expanding its range of smart home products by introducing three new affordable and discreet sensors: PARASOLL, VALLHORN, and BADRING.  These sensors are designed to manage and monitor homes globally, providing information on detected activities. PARASOLL is a motion sensor for doors and windows, VALLHORN activates lights with motion detection indoors and outdoors, and BADRING detects water leaks.  Ikea emphasizes affordability and ease of use, with the sensors seamlessly integrating with other smart Ikea products. To operate, these sensors need to be linked to the DIRIGERA center, enabling personalized control through the IKEA Home smart application.  While based on Zigbee software, they currently lack compatibility with the Matter standard, but Ikea plans to introduce support in the future. The release of these sensors is scheduled between January and April of the following year.

Image AI Generated "Plex, known for its evolution from a simple local media file management app to a comprehensive media platform, introduced the social feature 'Discover Together.'  However, this default-enabled feature has caused discomfort among users as it shares viewing history with family and friends.  Users report instances where certain compromising or sensitive content was revealed, causing tension in relationships. While the feature allows users to choose who can see their profiles and viewing history, it lacks a mechanism to filter out specific content.  Frustrated users have taken to platforms like Reddit to share their negative experiences. Currently, the only solution is to disable the sharing of viewing history, potentially undermining the social function.  Users have urged Plex to implement granular controls and filters to enhance the social experience.  Without such improvements, the social layer risks becoming a failure, regardless of upcoming ...

Image Credit AI generated Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have developed an advanced robotic system for evaluating stroke survivors' progress in medical rehabilitation. The system combines a robotic arm and a socially assistive robot to measure arm and hand mobility, addressing the common issue of "arm non-use" in stroke patients. This collaborative effort integrates expertise from computer science, biokinesiology, and physical therapy, resulting in a precise system that collects three-dimensional spatial data on patients' arm movements. Noteworthy features include the integration of machine learning for nuanced progress assessment and the use of a socially assistive robot for patient motivation. A study involving 14 stroke patients demonstrated the system's effectiveness in analyzing arm use probability, reach time, and success in hitting targets. Participants found the system easy to use and secure, with data analysis revealing conside...
