If a business opts in to the program and calls an AT&;T wireless customer‚ its brand name and logo will pop up on the receiving phone. It’s the latest attempt at stopping the proliferation of robocalls in the US. Complaints about telemarketing calls to the Federal Trade Commission have skyrocketed over the past decade. Now‚ a major US wireless carrier is partnering up with a credit reporting agency to give businesses a way to differentiate themselves from the deluge of spam. It’s the latest attempt at stopping the proliferation of robocalls in the US “Our customers will be able to connect... Continue reading…

Apple's generative AI testing follows as we expect significant changes for iOS 18. According to news aggregator yeux1122‚ Apple's internal codes suggest that the company is working on a Siri Summarization feature‚ showing "Please summarize the given text" and "Please answer this question" lines. The news aggregator suggests that Siri Summarization will also work with the Messages app for both iMessage and SMS texts. More recently‚ Google and Samsung announced several AI features for their Pixel 8 and Galaxy 24 phones‚ including summarizing articles‚ messages‚ and more through AI. In addition‚ it seems Apple is already testing four AI models in iOS 17.4 code. Two of them are AjaxGPT‚ Apple's proprietary large language model‚ while also using ChatGPT and Google's FLAN-T5. Ultimately‚ Apple aims to improve and integrate its LLMs into iOS. According to the news aggregator‚ Apple is comparing its test results with ChatGPT with FLAN-T5 with both on-device and online processing. Since Apple believes privacy is a "fundamental human right‚" it's likely that the company is aiming at the most AI features to run locally‚ which would include reading the user's messages. Other than that‚ this could threaten the user's privacy. Over the past few months‚ BGR heard several reports about Apple's AI efforts regarding this Ajax language. Previously‚ it was believed that Apple would focus on B2C applications‚ such as AppleCare chats or internal development tools. But as its competitors keep focusing on AI‚ Apple is being pressured to do the same. Thankfully‚ iOS 18 is already rumored to be the most important software update the iPhone has ever received. If that's the case‚ we should expect Artificial Intelligence usage‚ but most importantly‚ running on-device. Recently‚ we reported on a paper showing that Apple discovered how to make large language models fit into an iPhone memory‚ which is the main challenge for the company's competitor. With WWDC 2024‚ we'll finally discover if Apple's AI plans succeeded.

With Apple Vision Pro sales starting this Friday‚ February 2‚ some journalists and influencers got a chance to review this product before it's officially out. Apple put its first spatial computer under a veil of mystery‚ but finally‚ customers can understand a bit more of this product without the information being tailored by Cupertino. The Verge‚ for example‚ highlights how heavy this device feels on your face: "Since you’ll mostly experience the Vision Pro in there‚ the most noticeable thing about the hardware after a while is that it’s just… heavy. You’re supposed to wear this thing on your face for long stretches of computer time‚ and depending on which band and light seal you use‚ the headset alone weighs between 600 and 650 grams. (...) Other big headsets like the Quest Pro (722 grams) have elaborate headbands to balance out their weight‚ but the Vision Pro just rests it all on the front." In its review‚ CNBC highlights how easy it is to use Apple Vision Pro‚ as it reminds the journalist of the first iPhone. "Navigation is easy once you get the hang of it. This reminds me a bit of the iPhone moment when Apple launched its multitouch display that changed how we interact with phones that had largely been navigated with a stylus‚ touchpad‚ or keyboard. (...) It’s incredibly accurate. You just look where you want to go and then tap your thumb and index finger to select a button or app." CNET talks about the Apple Vision Pro external battery‚ although it doesn't specify much about it: "The battery cable to the Vision Pro is odd – it's a locking‚ unique circular attachment that needs to be slotted in at an angle and then turned to lock in place. It's to prevent losing power when using Vision Pro‚ but it also means you can't use a regular USB-C cable to power up or charge the headset unless you route it through the Vision Pro's large‚ heavy battery‚ which weighs about 0.75-pound. I just put the battery beside me‚ and sometimes tuck it in my pocket. The fabric-covered cord to the battery‚ which isn't removable‚ is long enough to tuck nearby but not long enough to snake across a room."

These kids need to be smacked with a frying pan. Not that I’m approaching AARP age‚ but in my day‚ when you were an intern or entry-level employee‚ the task was simple: do your job and keep your mouth shut. The latter applies double for interns—you’re meant to be seen‚ not heard. On the Hill‚ we’ve seen scores of Biden staffers revolt against their bosses in the aftermath of the Israeli invasion of Gaza. Bloomberg wrote about a new trend: unelected staffers pushing back against their bosses‚...

The Senate is poised for a border showdown with the House as it gets ready to move ahead with legislation‚ despite Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) warning that it is likely dead on arrival in the lower chamber. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and his allies aren’t ignoring Johnson‚ but they’re betting if the legislation passes the Senate with strong Republican support‚ Johnson will come under heavy pressure to put it up for a vote in the lower chamber....

In the hours following Hamas’ Oct. 7 assault on Israel‚ American officials rushed to determine if terrorist groups planned to attack troops and diplomats abroad. They immediately struggled. The U.S. had spent years pulling back intelligence and military resources from the Middle East and shifting focus elsewhere‚ believing Russia and China posed greater threats. That shift was now being felt more acutely than ever. Analysts whose work had been focused on other regions were forced to...
