Scientists at Stanford University Observe Sound Jumping Between Quantum States – swipe to learn more! (1/7) #quantumphysics #soundstudies #quantumcomputing #phonons #scienceandtechnology

A group of scientists wearing glowing white goggles crouch together in front of a table to look at a JBL smart speaker. On the table are a bowl of pretzels, a well-used cigarette ashtray, a butane lighter, a pack of Camel cigarettes, and a laboratory notebook. In the background, we see they are working in a 1970s American Midwest rec room with wood panelling and walls covered in psychedelic black light posters.

Our right to conversational privacy must include freedom from others using tech to document what we are saying without our clear opt-in consent. "Otherwise, people will self-censor, and conversation will lose its spontaneity and intimacy," EFF’s @adamdschwartz.bsky.social told @yahoofinance.com.

“There are a lot of reasons not to have hope in this moment, but seeing people from different political stripes being able to talk about whether there are datacentres … I think it’s a good and hopeful thing, actually.” I spoke to Ryan Priest at @computerweekly.bsky.social about data centres.

“There’s a lot of focus on the killer robots and the apocalypse that’s coming and not enough attention on the sort of real harms that we already know are happening,” EFF’s Corynne McSherry told Gray Media, explaining why AI regulation shouldn't be based on speculation.

The loudest sound in the world happened 140 years ago today, when the months-long 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia came to a climax, exploding 4 times, registering 172 decibels at 100 miles (161 km) from the source. (1/2)
