  • Federal judge blocks DOGE from accessing sensitive Treasury records
    www.theverge.com
    A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musks DOGE from accessing Treasury Department records containing personal information like Social Security numbers early this morning, reports Inner City Press.The order is in response to a lawsuit filed yesterday in New Yorks Southern District Court. The suit alleges that the administration exceeded its authority, broke the US Administrative Procedures Act, and violated the US Constitutions separation of powers doctrine when it granted DOGE access to the Treasurys federal payments system.District Judge Paul A. Engelmeyers order now prohibits the Trump administration from granting access to all political appointees, special government employees, and government employees detailed from an agency outside the Treasury Department, to any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees.Engelmeyer also orders that those prohibited from accessing the records must immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Departments records and systems since January 20th, 2025. A hearing is scheduled for February 14th.RelatedIn a press release announcing the lawsuit Friday, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who filed the lawsuit, explained:President Trump does not have the power to give away Americans private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress. Musk and DOGE have no authority to access Americans private information and some of our countrys most sensitive data.Attorneys General from these other states joined James in the lawsuit: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.The lawsuit is one of several levied against Trumps administration since he took office, including a separate one over DOGEs access to Treasury records filed on February 3rd. Responding to other legal action, federal judges have also blocked Trumps executive order targeting birthright citizenship, with one calling it blatantly unconstitutional.See More:

  • Apple is reportedly developing AirPods with cameras: Heres what that means
    9to5mac.com
    According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, Apple is prototyping a version of AirPods with integrated cameras. This tech is unlikely to make an appearance in AirPods Pro 3, which are expected to debut this year but nonetheless, its in the pipeline. The bigger question is: why?Visual Intelligence integrationWith the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple introduced Camera Control. This new button is great for taking photos and adjusting camera settings, but it also unlocked a new feature: Visual Intelligence.Visual Intelligence is a powerful tool that helps users learn about the world around them, and allows users to take action based on the physical context around them. You can add an event flyer to your calendar, for example, or tap into the power of ChatGPT or Google to help learn about something you dont understand.According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, Apple wants to bring similar integration with AirPods, mainly in an effort to bolster its position in the AI race:Apple isworking on a new versionof the AirPods Pro that uses external cameras and artificial intelligence to understand the outside world and provide information to the user. This would essentially be the smart glasses path but without actual glasses.With this integration on AirPods, you could possibly ask Siri about your surroundings, without even needing to take your iPhone out of your pocket.Improved spatial audioSupply chain analyst Ming Chi Kuo has also floated the idea of Apple using these cameras as a means of integration with other products. Specifically, they could be used for better spatial awareness while listening to audio with Apple Vision Pro:The new AirPods is expected to be used with Vision Pro and future Apple headsets to enhance the user experience of spatial audio and strengthen the spatial computing ecosystem. For example, when a user is watching a video with Vision Pro and wearing this new AirPods, if users turn their heads to look in a specific direction, the sound source in that direction can be emphasized to enhance the spatial audio/computing experience.This suggestion in particular is a bit odd, but given Kuos credibility, its worth mentioning. He also mentioned that its possible that these cameras could enable in-air gesture control for AirPods.When to expect themAccording to Bloomberg, Apple wont debut this tech until 2027 at the earliest, likely alongside AirPods Pro 4:Into 2027, the team is considering launching smart glasses on par with the Meta Ray-Bans, as well asAirPods with cameras. The idea is to salvage the billions of dollars spent on the Vision Pros visual intelligence technology, which can scan the environment around a user and supply useful data.My favorite iPhone accessories on Amazon:Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

  • UnitedHealthcare Threatens Legal Action Against Doctor Who Says They Interrupted Her in the Middle of Surgery
    futurism.com
    Gaslight AnthemFeb 8, 12:00 PM EST/byNoor Al-SibaiUnitedHealthcare Threatens Legal Action Against Doctor Who Says They Interrupted Her in the Middle of Surgery"Your claims are false. You clearly know they are false."Feb 8, 12:00 PM EST/Noor Al-SibaiImage by Elisabeth PotterDevelopmentsIn the aftermath of its CEO's stunning assassination, UnitedHealthcare is now threatening legal retaliation against those who criticize the insurance giant online.Last month, Texas plastic surgeon Elisabeth Potter posted on TikTok and Instagram that she had just been interrupted in the middle of a procedure for a breast cancer patient with a supposedly "urgent" call.On the other line was a UHC representative, who asked her if it was absolutely necessary that her patient stay overnight post-surgery a question that appalled the doctor and most everyone who saw the video.A month after going viral, Potter made an entirely different social media post explaining that she had been contacted by UHC, accused of libel, and subjected to thinly veiled threats of legal retaliation if she didn't comply with the company's demands.In the letter, the surgeon was told that UHC had never asked her to step out of surgery and only called her because the company believed that her request for her patient's overnight stay a claim that was eventually denied was made in error.Furthermore, the company accused Potter of knowingly sharing "misinformation" and hosting threats against the company's executives because people made references to Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin of UHC CEO Brian Thompson, in the comments of her videos."Your claims are false. You clearly know they are false. You falsely laid the blame for your office's error on UnitedHealthcare publicly, unleashing a firestorm of dangerous misinformation," the letter, which Potter posted in full on her Instagram, reads. "We expect you to promptly correct this publicly by removing your videos and posting a public apology."This "gaslighting and harassment," as the surgeon calls it, has only strengthened her resolve to speak out about healthcare inequities and she's going to need it.AsBloomberg reported around the same time that Potter posted the cease and desist letter, UHC had hired preeminent defamation law firm Clare Locke the one that got Dominion Voting Systems a nearly $800 million settlement in 2023 in its defamation case against Fox News to handle its case against Potter.Along with taking Potter to task, Clare Locke also sicced the Securities and Exchange Commission on billionaire investor Bill Ackman after he shared the surgeon's video on his own X account."I would not be surprised," Ackman wrote in since-deleted post, "to find that the companys profitability is massively overstated due to its denial of medically necessary procedures and patient care."Share This ArticleImage by Elisabeth PotterRead This Next

  • OpenAI Seems to Be Low Key Panicking
    futurism.com
    Chinese AI startup DeepSeek shocked the tech industry with its extremely cost-effective AI model, trained at a fraction of the cost of its far more resource-intensive rivals in the US.DeepSeek turned out to be a force to be reckoned with, triggering a more than $1 trillion selloff, with spooked investors wondering whether they had grossly overpaid the likes of OpenAI and Meta for years.And while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has since congratulated DeepSeek for its "impressive" R1 reasoning model, he also promised investors to "deliver much better models."But considering the big changes the ChatGPT maker is planning, as Bloomberg reports, OpenAI seems genuinely shaken, not just invigorated by a "new competitor," as Altman termed DeepSeek. In fact, it seems a lot like the company is quietly panicking as it tries to deliver a worthy retort to DeepSeek's foundations-shaking offering.For one, OpenAI executives revealed the company would mimic DeepSeek's R1 by showing more of its AI models' "reasoning steps," according to Bloomberg.There's also the question of pricing. It made its o3-mini reasoning model free for all users last month, in another apparent attempt to compete with DeepSeek.The company is also reportedly reconsidering its approach to open source. Despite its misleading name, OpenAI has become a largely for-profit, closed-source company that keeps its cards extremely close to its chest. By contrast, DeepSeek's R1 is an open-source model.During a Reddit AMA earlier this week, Altman said that he thinks "we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy.""Not everyone at OpenAI shares this view, and it's also not our current highest priority," he added.And it's not just OpenAI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also addressed the topic during a recent earnings call."I think that theres a number of novel things that they did that I think were still digesting," he told investors last month, admitting that Meta is hoping to "implement" some aspects of DeepSeek's tech "in our systems.""And thats part of the nature of how this works, whether its a Chinese competitor or not," Zuckerberg said.Other executives are openly hoping that US protectionism will save them. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also called for US lawmakers to implement new restrictions on AI chip exports to stop China from catching up too quickly.Still, the US AI industry hasn't changed its plan to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into expanding infrastructure. At the heart of this movement is president Donald Trump's OpenAI-backed Stargate initiative, which aims to raise a whopping half a trillion dollars in four years. (Whether it'll be successful in doing so remains to be seen.)DeepSeek,meanwhile, has ironically become a victim of its own success, limiting access to its AI models due to shortages in server capacity.In other words, even with its extremely efficient reasoning model, scaling up the operation to meet demand remains an ongoing issue which could offer OpenAI at least a little bit of breathing room.Share This Article
