MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) — As New Hampshire voters prepare to cast their ballots in the state’s first primary on Tuesday, a robocall using the fake voice of President Joe Biden is circulating in the state urging Democrats to stay home. “It is important to save your vote for the November elections. . . . The call states that this Tuesday’s vote will only enable Republicans in their quest to re-elect Donald Trump. New Hampshire attorney general John Formella announced he is investigating what he called “an illegal attempt to disrupt the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election and suppress New…

For the past 20 years, the media’s working relationship with major tech platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter has been a Faustian bargain. Tech giants gained access to the largest audience in human history (I’m not exaggerating), and in return the media industry gave up ultimate control of its own destiny. Big tech controlled the media’s understanding of analytics, KPIs and editorial value, while also mediating its relationships with both audiences and advertisers. This tense relationship may be completely abandoned in the coming years. In the 1970s, environmentalists gave us the “Three Rs” (Reduce, Recycle and Reuse) as a guiding…

Social media company X’s platform has less antisemitic content compared with other applications, according to audits it has commissioned, X owner Elon Musk said on Monday at a conference on combating antisemitism. Musk visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau site of a former Nazi German concentration camp earlier in the day, before appearing at the conference in the southern Polish city of Krakow, which addressed the rise in antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas conflict started in October. The X platform has come under fire in recent months and has seen some major advertisers pause spending or flee since Musk late last year agreed with…

BOSTON (AP) — State-backed Russian hackers infiltrated Microsoft’s corporate email system and accessed the accounts of members of the company’s leadership team as well as employees on its cybersecurity and legal teams, the company said Friday. The attack began in late November and was discovered on January 12, Microsoft said in a blog post. He said the same highly skilled Russian hacking team was responsible for the SolarWinds breach. The company said a “very small percentage” of Microsoft corporate accounts were accessed and some emails and attached documents were stolen. A company spokesman said Microsoft had no comment on which…

Launching market-breaking innovations requires long-term thinking and acknowledging that most disruptive technologies take time to penetrate and change consumer behavior; the “value action gap” (as it is often called), particularly in the area of sustainability, where purchasing behavior continues to lag behind stated consumer values regarding environmental protection. Innovations often require significant behavioral changes, are a tough sell for most people, and often require a significant investment of time and training. Think solar panels or electric vehicles (EVs) or even the ubiquitous iPhone. None of these became widely adopted overnight, and only took off when they reached the inflection point…

Today, AI-powered synthetic voice cloning company ElevenLabs announced that it has closed its $80 million series B round. The new funding gives the two-year-old startup a valuation of more than $1 billion, up from $100 million last June.

Users can also enter text to have the voice read and load pre-existing voice samples to be cloned. CEO Mati Staniszewski claims…

In an Instagram video posted to her account last month, former Hype House member and influencer Tayler Holder sits on a stool wearing a T-shirt that reads “Jesus Loves You.” “A lot of you probably don’t know much about me,” he tells the off-screen audience. “You saw a small part of my life on screen and always knew me as the TikTok kid.” But the comments, as always, tell another story. “Suddenly your accent is showing,” wrote one user. “Wasn’t this dude trying to be a gangster like last year?” he added. Holder’s rebranding as a country singer has long…

Intel wants you to believe that its newest processors usher in a new era of personal computing. In the chipmaker’s words, this is the era of “AI Computing,” where specialized neural processors help run large language models, create works of art, and perform many other machine learning tasks. Intel believes that by powering on-device AI, we will see new applications that are either too costly or too privacy nightmare to run in the cloud. The company may be right, but it is not the first company to make this feature possible. Much of what Intel unveiled at this month’s CES…
