MELINDA GATES TO RESIGN FROM GATES FOUNDATION (NBCNEWS.COM) 4

Posted by BeauHD on Monday May 13, 2024 @07:20PM from the end-of-an-era dept.
Melinda French Gates announced today she is stepping down from the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, three years after announcing her separation from
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. With her departure as co-chair, the foundation
will change its name to Gates Foundation and Bill Gates will be its sole
chairperson, said CEO Mark Suzman. NBC News reports: In a statement posted on
her Instagram account, she said that as part of her agreement to step down from
the foundation, she will retain $12.5 billion that she plans to put toward her
ongoing work supporting women and families. "This is not a decision I came to
lightly," French Gates wrote. "I am immensely proud of the foundation that Bill
and I built together and of the extraordinary work it is doing to address
inequities around the world." In a separate statement, Bill Gates said, "I am
sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her
future philanthropic work."

Now worth $75.2 billion, the Gates Foundation has over the course of its
three-decade lifespan made $77.6 billion worth of grant payments, making it one
of the largest donor organizations in the world, with a focus on health and
developmental goals. It is one of the largest contributors to the World Health
Organization, and played a key role in efforts to address the Covid pandemic.
"After a difficult few years watching women's rights rolled back in the U.S. and
around the world, she wants to use this next chapter to focus specifically on
altering that trajectory," Suzman said of French Gates.

"I want to reassure you that the millions of people our work serves and the
thousands of partners we work alongside can continue to count on the foundation.
The foundation today is stronger than it has ever been."

"I know we all wish Melinda the best in her next chapter," he added, noting that
French Gates "will not be bringing any of the foundation's work with her when
she leaves."

AI HITTING LABOUR FORCES LIKE A 'TSUNAMI', IMF CHIEF SAYS (YAHOO.COM) 7

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @06:41PM from the tough-luck dept.
AI is hitting the global labour market "like a tsunami" International Monetary
Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Monday. AI is likely to
impact 60% of jobs in advanced economies and 40% of jobs around the world in the
next two years, Georgieva told an event in Zurich. From a report: "We have very
little time to get people ready for it, businesses ready for it," she told the
event organised by the Swiss Institute of International Studies, associated to
the University of Zurich. "It could bring tremendous increase in productivity if
we manage it well, but it can also lead to more misinformation and, of course,
more inequality in our society."

APPLE AND GOOGLE INTRODUCE ALERTS FOR UNWANTED BLUETOOTH TRACKING 5

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @06:00PM from the shared-battles dept.
Apple and Google have launched a new industry standard called "Detecting
Unwanted Location Trackers" to combat the misuse of Bluetooth trackers for
stalking. Starting Monday, iPhone and Android users will receive alerts when an
unknown Bluetooth device is detected moving with them. The move comes after
numerous cases of trackers like Apple's AirTags being used for malicious
purposes.

Several Bluetooth tag companies have committed to making their future products
compatible with the new standard. Apple and Google said they will continue
collaborating with the Internet Engineering Task Force to further develop this
technology and address the issue of unwanted tracking.

'ROARING KITTY' TRADER RETURNS, CAUSING GAMESTOP SHARES TO JUMP MORE THAN 70%
(CBSNEWS.COM) 10

Posted by BeauHD on Monday May 13, 2024 @05:20PM from the king-has-returned
dept.
GameStop shares surged over 72% on Monday after Keith Gill, also known as
"Roaring Kitty," returned to social media following a three-year hiatus. Gill
gained notoriety for his role in the 2020 meme stock frenzy, where he encouraged
amateur investors to buy GameStop shares, significantly driving up the stock
price and challenging hedge funds. From a report: He resurfaced on X, Sunday
night, with an image of a sketched man leaning forward in a chair, marking the
end of a roughly three-year hiatus. He followed that post with several others
featuring various comeback-themed videos featuring movie clips and charged
music.

GameStop had experienced declining sales amid an industrywide pivot from game
cartridges to video game streaming and digital downloads, but with the help from
meme stock investors, last March the company turned its first profit in two
years. Before then, the company had posted seven straight quarterly losses. This
January, GameStop reported its first annual profit since 2018. Roaring Kitty's
post helped bump GameStop's share price to $28.25 on Monday. GameStop's all-time
high stock price is $120.75 in January 2021.

FIRST PERSON TO RECEIVE A GENETICALLY MODIFIED PIG KIDNEY TRANSPLANT DIES
(NPR.ORG) 14

Posted by BeauHD on Monday May 13, 2024 @04:40PM from the
helping-to-advance-science dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CBS News: Richard "Rick" Slayman, the
first human to receive a genetically modified pig kidney transplant, has died
almost two months after the procedure. Slayman, who had end-stage kidney
disease, underwent the transplant in March at Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston at age 62. The hospital said in a statement on Saturday that there was
"no indication" that his death was the result of the transplant. The transplant
surgeon had said he hoped the transplant would function for at least two years.

"The Mass General transplant team is deeply saddened at the sudden passing of
Mr. Rick Slayman," read the hospital statement. "Mr. Slayman will forever be
seen as a beacon of hope to countless transplant patients worldwide and we are
deeply grateful for his trust and willingness to advance the field of
xenotransplantation." The surgery was a milestone for the field of
xenotransplantation -- the transplant of organs from one species to another --
as a way to alleviate the organ shortage for people who need transplants. The
effort to genetically modify animal organs is in hopes that the human body will
not reject the foreign tissue. NPR notes that there are more than 100,000 people
in the U.S. on the waitlist for organs.

MICROSOFT PLACES USES AI TO FIND THE BEST TIME FOR YOUR NEXT OFFICE DAY 25

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @04:01PM from the how-about-that dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft is attempting to solve the hassle
of coordinating with colleagues on when everyone will be in the office. It's a
problem that emerged with the increase in hybrid and flexible work after the
recent covid-19 pandemic, with workers spending less time in the office.
Microsoft Places is an AI-powered app that goes into preview today and should
help businesses that rely on Outlook and Microsoft Teams to better coordinate
in-office time together.

"When employees get to the office, they don't want to be greeted by a sea of
empty desks -- they want face-time with their manager and the coworkers they
collaborate with most frequently," says Microsoft's corporate vice president of
AI at work, Jared Spataro, in a blog post. "With Places, you can more easily
coordinate across coworkers and spaces in the office."

META EXPLORES AI-ASSISTED EARPHONES WITH CAMERAS (THEINFORMATION.COM) 19

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @02:49PM from the
shape-of-things-to-come dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Meta Platforms is exploring developing
AI-powered earphones with cameras, which the company hopes could be used to
identify objects and translate foreign languages, according to three current
employees. Meta's work on a new AI device comes as several tech companies look
to develop AI wearables, and after Meta added an AI assistant to its Ray-Ban
smart glasses.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has seen several possible designs for the device but
has not been satisfied with them, one of the employees said. It's unclear if the
final design will be in-ear earbuds or over-the-ear headphones. Internally, the
project goes by the name Camerabuds. The timeline is also unclear. Company
leaders had expected a design to be approved in the first quarter, one of the
people said. But employees have identified multiple potential problems with the
project, including that long hair may cover the cameras on the earbuds. Also,
putting a camera and batteries into tiny devices could make the earbuds bulky
and risk making them uncomfortably hot. Attaching discreet cameras to a wearable
device may also raise privacy concerns, as Google learned with Google Glass.

MICROSOFT IS FINALLY CHANGING WORD'S ANNOYING DEFAULT PASTE BEHAVIOR
(PCWORLD.COM) 47

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @02:08PM from the national-nightmare
dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: The default pasting behavior of Microsoft
Word is a nightmare, and has been forever. If you want to add a text or image
using the standard option, you can easily mess up the entire formatting in the
text if a completely different font suddenly appears. After many years of
complaints, Microsoft is finally listening to user feedback and changing the
default behavior when pasting in Word.

From now on, the source's formatting will no longer be automatically retained.
Instead, "Merge formatting" will be the new default for everyone, as Microsoft
explained in a blog post this week. This means that after the update, newly
pasted text will take on the font size, font type, and color of the text written
in Word. However, special features such as lists or italicized elements will be
retained. If you want these elements to be automatically adapted to the Word
text, you must select the option "Keep text only."

SOLAR STORM KNOCKS OUT FARMERS' TRACTOR GPS SYSTEMS DURING PEAK PLANTING SEASON
(404MEDIA.CO) 71

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @12:48PM from the concerning-episodes
dept.
mspohr shares a report: The solar storm that brought the aurora borealis to
large parts of the United States this weekend also broke critical GPS and
precision farming functionality in tractors and agricultural equipment during a
critical point of the planting season, 404 Media has learned. These outages
caused many farmers to fully stop their planting operations for the moment. One
chain of John Deere dealerships warned farmers that the accuracy of some of the
systems used by tractors are "extremely compromised," and that farmers who
planted crops during periods of inaccuracy are going to face problems when they
go to harvest, according to text messages obtained by 404 Media and an update
posted by the dealership.

The outages highlight how vulnerable modern tractors are to satellite
disruptions, which experts have been warning about for years. "All the tractors
are sitting at the ends of the field right now shut down because of the solar
storm," Kevin Kenney, a farmer in Nebraska, told me. "No GPS. We're right in the
middle of corn planting. I'll bet the commodity markets spike Monday."
Specifically, some GPS systems were temporarily knocked offline. This caused
intermittent connections and accuracy problems with "Real-Time Kinematic" (RTK)
systems, which connect to John Deere "StarFire" receivers that are in modern
tractors and agricultural equipment. RTK systems use GPS plus a stream of
constantly-updating "correction" data from a fixed point on the ground to
achieve centimeter-level positional accuracy for planting crops, tilling fields,
spraying fertilizer and herbicide, etc.

US KICKS OFF AI SAFETY TALKS WITH CHINA (AXIOS.COM) 18

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @12:02PM from the finding-common-grounds
dept.
The United States is heading to Geneva this week to start a series of diplomatic
talks with the Chinese government about artificial intelligence safety and risk
standards. From a report: The U.S. and China are in tight competition to
dominate the AI market, both in the private sector and within their own
governments. However, the two world powers have yet to agree on what it means to
safely use the technologies they're developing.

The United States and China will meet in Switzerland on Tuesday, senior
administration officials told reporters during a briefing Friday. Officials from
the White House and State Department will lead the U.S. delegation in the talks,
while China will bring a delegation co-led by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and National Development and Reform Commission. The talks will primarily focus
on AI risk and safety "with an emphasis on advanced systems," one official said.
Officials from the U.S. and China also plan to discuss the work they're doing in
their own countries domestically to address AI risks.

MICROSOFT SET TO FACE EU COMPETITION CHARGES OVER TEAMS SOFTWARE (FT.COM) 26

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @10:43AM from the
shape-of-things-to-come dept.
The European Commission is set to issue new antitrust charges [non-paywalled
link] against Microsoft over concerns that the tech giant is undermining
competitors to its videoconferencing app Teams, according to FT. The move comes
after Microsoft offered concessions last month, including a global plan to
unbundle Teams from other software such as Office, in an attempt to avoid
regulatory action.

The EU officials remain concerned that the company's efforts do not sufficiently
ensure fairness in the market, the newspaper said. Rivals worry that Microsoft
will make Teams run more compatibly with its own software compared to competitor
apps, and that the lack of data portability makes it difficult for existing
Teams users to switch to alternatives. The case, which originated from a formal
complaint submitted by Slack (now owned by Salesforce) in 2020, is now
escalating with the Commission's impending formal charge sheet against
Microsoft.

SQUARESPACE TO GO PRIVATE IN $6.9 BILLION DEAL WITH PERMIRA 32

Posted by msmash on Monday May 13, 2024 @10:02AM from the breaking-news dept.
Squarespace said on Monday it has agreed to be taken private by private equity
firm Permira in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $6.9 billion. Under the
terms of the agreement, Squarespace stockholders will receive $44.00 per share
in cash, representing a premium of about 29% over the company's 90-day volume
weighted average trading price.

Upon completion of the transaction, Squarespace will become a privately held
company. Founder and CEO Anthony Casalena will continue to lead the business and
be one of the largest shareholders following the deal. "Squarespace has been at
the forefront of providing services to businesses looking to establish
themselves online for more than two decades. We are excited to continue building
on that foundation, and expanding our offerings, for years to come," said
Casalena in a statement.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Permira on this new leg of our journey,
alongside our existing long-term investors General Atlantic and Accel, who
strongly believe in the future of Squarespace," he added.

HOW MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES PRESSURED THE COMPANY OVER ITS OIL INDUSTRY TIES
(GRIST.ORG) 90

Posted by EditorDavid on Monday May 13, 2024 @07:34AM from the act-locally dept.
The non-profit environmental site Grist reports on "an internal, employee-led
effort to raise ethical concerns about Microsoft's work helping oil and gas
producers boost their profits by providing them with cloud computing resources
and AI software tools." There's been some disappointments — but also some
successes, starting with the founding of an internal sustainability group within
Microsoft that grew to nearly 10,000 employees: Former Microsoft employees and
sources familiar with tech industry advocacy say that, broadly speaking,
employee pressure has had an enormous impact on sustainability at Microsoft,
encouraging it to announce industry-leading climate goals in 2020 and support
key federal climate policies.

But convincing the world's most valuable company to forgo lucrative oil industry
contracts proved far more difficult... Over the past seven years, Microsoft has
announced dozens of new deals with oil and gas producers and oil field services
companies, many explicitly aimed at unlocking new reserves, increasing
production, and driving up oil industry profits...

As concerns over the company's fossil fuel work mounted, Microsoft was gearing
up to make a big sustainability announcement. In January 2020, the company
pledged to become "carbon negative" by 2030, meaning that in 10 years, the tech
giant would pull more carbon out of the air than it emitted on an annual
basis... For nearly two years, employees watched and waited. Following its
carbon negative announcement, Microsoft quickly expanded its internal carbon
tax, which charges the company's business groups a fee for the carbon they emit
via electricity use, employee travel, and more. It also invested in new
technologies like direct air capture and purchased carbon removal contracts from
dozens of projects worldwide.

But Microsoft's work with the oil industry continued unabated, with the company
announcing a slew of new partnerships in 2020 and 2021 aimed at cutting fossil
fuel producers' costs and boosting production.
The last straw for one technical account manager was a 2023 LinkedIn post by a
Microsoft technical architect about the company's work on oil and gas industry
automation. The post said Microsoft's cloud service was "unlocking previously
inaccessible reserves" for the fossil fuel industry, promising that with
Microsoft's Azure service, "the future of oil and gas exploration and production
is brighter than ever."

The technical account manager resigned from the position they'd held for nearly
a decade, citing the blog post in a resignation letter which accused Microsoft
of "extending the age of fossil fuels, and enabling untold emissions."
