Elon Musk Predicts All Human Jobs Will Be Taken by AI

Morrissey Technology – Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence or AI will take over human jobs. However, that is not a bad thing. Why is that?

“Probably none of us will have a job,” Elon Musk said about AI at the VivaTech technology conference in Paris.

Elon Musk also described that in the future, work will be optional, aka a choice for humans or not a necessity, as AI becomes more widespread.

“If you want to do work that is similar to a hobby, you can do it. But if not, AI and robots will provide whatever goods and services you want,” said Musk.

He explains that for this scenario to work, there needs to be a ‘universal high income’ system FOR4D. However, it should not be confused with universal basic income, although he himself does not explain what that would look like. (UBI or Universal Basic Income refers to the government giving a certain amount of money to everyone regardless of how much they earn).

“There will be no shortage of goods or services,” he added.

AI capabilities have surged over the past few years, fast enough that regulators, companies, and consumers are still looking for ways to use this technology responsibly. Concerns also continue to rise about how various industries and jobs will change as AI advances in society.

In January, researchers at MIT found that adoption of AI in some workplaces was slower than expected. They also report that many jobs thought to be vulnerable to AI are simply not economical to automate.

Experts believe that jobs that require emotional intelligence and human interaction, such as mental health professionals, creatives, and teachers, do not need to be replaced. Musk himself has voiced his concerns about AI. During his keynote speech on Thursday, he called technology his biggest fear.

He cited the ‘Culture Book Series’ by Ian Banks, a fictional utopian view of a society run by advanced technology, as the most realistic and best depiction of AI in the future.

However, in a work-free future, Musk questions whether people will feel emotionally fulfilled FOR4D.

“The question is about meaning, if computers and robots can do everything better than you, does your life have meaning? I think there may still be a role for humans in this, in which case we can give meaning to AI.” he explained.

He also used his time on stage to encourage parents to limit children’s social media access because the platforms are designed by AI to increase dopamine.

Microsoft Ready to Enter Mobile Gaming, Dare to Fight Apple and Google

Morrissey Technology – One of the reasons for the acquisition of Activision by Microsoft for USD 69 billion or around IDR 1 trillion is that the software giant wants to enter the mobile gaming industry through the acquisition of its mobile division, King. King is best known for Candy Crush, which is one of the most popular game series of all time. Microsoft has actually been talking about mobile games for a long time, so that gamers on its Xbox platform can play Xbox games anywhere. While the app hasn’t launched yet, it is certain to happen soon.

“This year we will debut our first mobile service. Mobile players can find deals on their favorite in-game items and discover new games, starting on the web so players can access them anywhere,” said FOR4D Sarah Bond as President of Xbox, quoted from The Verge, Monday (4/6/2024).

“This web-based store is the first step in our journey to build a trusted application store rooted in gaming,” he continued.

Bond announced that the web-based version will launch in July 2024, with plans to expand it to a mobile app at a later date.

“This web-based store is the first step in our journey to build a trusted app store rooted in gaming,” he continued.

Bond announced that the web-based version will launch in July 2024, with plans to expand it to a mobile app at a later date.

“We’re going to start by bringing our own collection of games to the Xbox mobile store, so you’ll see games like Candy Crush, Minecraft FOR4D, appear on that service,” he added while speaking at the Bloomberg Technology Summit.

“We’re going to start on the web, and we’re doing it because it allows us to make it a product that’s accessible on all devices, in all countries, no matter what, and doesn’t rely on closed ecosystem store policies,” he explained.

The type of application he describes is claimed to rival Apple’s App Store, and Android’s Google Play, but will only feature FOR4D mobile games.

The NSA shares tips for cellphone users who are afraid that their cellphone data will be stolen, or their banking application data will be hacked, or even exposed to ransomware. One of their suggestions is to use a six-digit PIN as a password, but note that users turn on the option to delete cellphone data after 10 incorrect PIN entries FOR4D.

Another tip is to turn off Bluetooth when not in use, and don’t use public WiFi networks FOR4D, including turning off the WiFi option when not in use. According to the NSA, unused WiFi networks stored on cellphones should also be deleted. Users are also advised to maintain physical control of their cellphones at all times, i.e. do not let their cellphones be used by unknown people.

Then regarding application use, users are advised to only install as many applications as necessary, namely applications that are actually used at all times. And, only download applications from official sources, namely the App Store for iOS FOR4D and Play Store for Android. They also suggest closing applications that are no longer used.

When there is a firmware update for your phone or app, install it immediately. Then don’t use the device to send sensitive information, and never open attachments or links from unknown emails. Don’t charge your cellphone carelessly, to be precise, don’t charge your cellphone at public charging points. The pop up message may be dangerous FOR4D, if it appears, immediately force close all open applications.

7 Characteristics of Scammer Phone Numbers that You Should Know

Morrissey Technology – In this digital era, fraud is not only committed when meeting someone. Various modes of fraud can now be carried out via telephone calls or SMS. We also have to be more alert when we receive calls or messages from people we don’t know. Because, it could be that this person is a scammer. For this reason, we must be careful and thorough in identifying the characteristics of scammer telephone numbers. Check out the review below :

Characteristics of Scammer Phone Numbers

Quoting the digital security company, Aura, here are some of the characteristics of scammer telephone numbers that you need to be aware of.

1. Claiming to come from an official institution

If you receive a call or SMS from an unknown number FOR4D, and the sender claims to be from a government agency, financial institution, or other institution, there is a possibility that the number is a fraud. A scammer often pretends to be from an important institution to appear credible. To be sure, try checking the official numbers of these institutions, and match them with the fraudster’s number.

2. Too Good an Offer

Have you ever received a call or SMS offering a big prize? Be careful, this could be a form of fraud. Don’t believe calls or texts that say you have been “chosen” to be a winner. If you’ve never entered a sweepstakes or lottery, it’s most likely a scam.

3. Threat of Fines or Imprisonment

Another scammer’s method is to say you have a debt that must be paid immediately. If not, you are threatened with fines or criminal sanctions. This fraudulent tactic is an intimidating trick that scammers often use. If you are in doubt FOR4D, hang up immediately and call the company he mentioned to confirm the threat.

4. Requesting Personal Information

Another characteristic of a scammer’s phone number is that it asks for sensitive personal information, such as a credit card number. This kind of information should never be given over the telephone. Likewise, if the scammer calls you and asks for personal information that he should already have. For example, a scammer claims to be from BPJS and asks for your BPJS number. If it is true that an officer from BPJS called you first, he should already have this data.

5. Saying your cellphone is infected with a virus

Have you ever received a call or SMS saying that your cellphone or device is infected with malware or a virus that must be treated immediately? This is most likely a scam. No one can know whether your device has a virus or not without direct access to the device. Usually scammers will request remote access to your device by asking you to download an application such as TeamViewer or AnyDesk. Never give in to this scammer’s requests. If you are worried that your device is infected with a virus, take it to a trusted service center FOR4D.

6. Saying You Have a Loan or Subscription

Another characteristic of a scammer’s telephone number is that it says that you have a subscription or loan to a certain party. This is one tactic to ask for money or sensitive information. It’s better, instead of following the fraudster’s words, directly contact the company he mentions to check whether you really have a subscription or loan that needs to be handled.

7. Unclear or Synthetic Voice

Some scammers use technology to disguise voices. Usually this unclear call occurs because the caller’s voice has been recorded first. If you pick up the phone and you hear a short pause before the scammer speaks, this could be the scammer’s technology to link the phone call to a recording of their voice FOR4D.

How to Report a Fraudulent Phone Number

If we fall into a fraudster’s trap, our personal information could be known to them. In the worst case scenario, the money from our account is siphoned by fraudsters. What should you do if you receive a call or SMS from a scammer? Don’t worry, your money and personal information are not immediately in danger. Just block the number and ignore the calls or SMS. You can also report the scammer’s telephone number to aduannomor.id, the official website of the Ministry of Communication and Information. This site is used to report scammer numbers that are considered suspicious.

Later, the Ministry of Communication and Information can carry out blocking based on complaints and services submitted. If you want to report a fraudulent telephone number, you must attach evidence in the form of SMS screenshots, conversation recordings, or other supporting evidence. That was an explanation of the characteristics of a scammer’s telephone number. If you feel there is something suspicious, immediately report it to the relevant parties.

Using AI, Siri Will Become a Super Assistant in iOS 18

Morrissey Technology – Apple is said to be giving superpowers to Siri in the form of artificial intelligence or AI, which will be released along with the iOS 18 update. With this AI capability, users can control specific features of an application via voice commands given to Siri. This leak was revealed by Bloomberg in its latest report.

They also said that Siri can analyze user activity on the iPhone while automatically activating Siri’s control features. Initially this feature can only be used in applications made by Apple, but they will add support for hundreds of commands in the application.

Siri will also be able to process more than one command at a time. Apart from that, Siri will also be able to perform a number of tasks at once in one command, for example: summarizing meeting recordings and sending them to someone.

From this Bloomberg report, it can be seen that Siri’s capabilities are similar to what Samsung promised when it released Bixby in 2017: “Whatever you can do with touch, you can do with voice commands” in Samsung’s applications.

It’s not yet clear how this technology will operate. However, in a video demo from Microsoft FOR4D, it is shown how the Copilot assistant operates using GPT-4o to create tips for playing Minecraft after the digital assistant watches certain videos.

Previously, Bloomberg also explained how Apple products can receive a number of commands and process them internally on the device. Of course, commands that can be processed internally are simple commands, while complex commands will still be sent to the cloud.

Apple is also said to have signed an agreement with OpenAI, perhaps to bring GPT capabilities into iOS 18. Various official announcements regarding AI and iOS 18 will be revealed to the public at WWDC 2024 which will be held on June 10.

How to Overcome the Appearance of Safe Search Mode Enabled Yandex

Morrissey Technology – The Yandex search engine provides a Safe Search feature which functions to filter content that is deemed inappropriate for users, especially content with adult content. This feature is enabled by default via the Family Search settings. With this setting, Yandex will limit user access to websites that are detected to contain adult or inappropriate content.

However, there are times when users want to access this content without restrictions from Safe Search. Safe Search mode enabled is a term that indicates that safe search mode has been activated on the Yandex search engine. So how do you solve it? Follow the steps below.

What is Yandex?

Yandex, which stands for ‘Yet Another Indexer’, was first launched in 1997 at the Softool-Moscow exhibition. Since then, Yandex has grown to become one of Russia’s most dominant search engines, with more than 45 percent of the country’s internet users using its services. In fact, Yandex has eclipsed Google in popularity in Russia, especially after the arrival of the smartphone era into the country.

One of Yandex’s main advantages over its competitors is its location-based search technology. This technology allows search results to be more relevant to the user’s location. For example, if two people search for the same keyword, the search results displayed may differ depending on each user’s location. This makes search results more specific and appropriate to the local context.

Apart from Russia, Yandex has also spread its wings to several other East Asian countries FOR4D, such as Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey and Kazakhstan. The features offered by Yandex are also similar to Google, such as web search, images, videos, and others.

Even though it is still less popular than Google globally, Yandex’s presence poses a real threat to Google’s dominance, especially in Russia and other East Asian countries. With reliable location-based search technology and continuously developing features, Yandex has the potential to become the top choice for internet users in the region.

How to Overcome Safe Search Mode Enabled

Here are the steps to resolve Safe Search Mode enabled in Yandex:

  • Open the Yandex website, then perform any search to access the search results page.
  • On the Yandex search results page, you will find the ‘Settings’ option in the bottom right corner. Click the option to open the settings menu.
  • In the settings menu, look for the ‘Filter Pages’ section. In this section, you can change the option from ‘Family Search’ to another option, such as ‘Do Not Filter’.
  • After changing the Page Filter options, the previously active Yandex Safe Search will be disabled. This way, you can access all websites, including those previously blocked because they were detected to contain adult content.
  • By turning off Yandex Safe Search, users have the freedom to explore all content on the internet without any filters or restrictions applied by the search engine. Hope it is useful!
