Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:08 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Uber’s former chief security officer will serve three years of probation and pay a $50,000 fine for covering up a 2016 data breach involving 57 million users of the San Francisco-based ride-hailing service, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.A jury in October convicted 54-year-old Palo Alto resident Joseph Sullivan of obstruction of the Federal Trade Commission and misprision of a felony, or having knowledge that a federal felony was committed and taking steps to conceal that crime, prosecutors said in a statement Thursday.Sullivan could have received up to five years in prison for the first charge and up to three for the second.In a sentencing memorandum, prosecutors said Sullivan deserved at least 15 months in prison.“Instead of doing what he knew was the right thing, he engaged in a rigorous effort to ensure that the victims, the FTC, law enforcement and the public never learned that he and his cybersecurity team had made mistakes that allowed two hackers to ...

49ers notes: Deebo Samuel hates Eagles; Lynch knows ‘Seahawks are coming’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:08 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Long story short, here are quick thoughts, quotes and notes amid the 49ers’ offseason program, and ahead of next week’s rookie minicamp:—  “Most hated team is the Eagles right now — 100 percent,” Deebo Samuel told Complex. “I mean, hey man, we done wiped the Rams so many times. All the trash talk coming from the Eagles fan base and the players, you just get tired of that.”— Samuel re-iterated his offseason stance that the 49ers lost the NFC Championship Game “because we played with 10 people,” he told Complex in an interview posted Thursday. Samuel then noted that Brock Purdy is “still recovering from his surgery. Trey (Lance) is fully healthy. We went and got another quarterback in Sam Darnold. That was the only piece we were missing. If we had another quarterback, we would’ve been alright.”— Darnold is suiting up in No. 14, ideally resembling his USC days more than his washed tenures with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthe...

Could AI pen ‘Casablanca’? Screenwriters take aim at ChatGPT

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:08 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — When Greg Brockman, the president and co-founder of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, was recently extolling the capabilities of artificial intelligence, he turned to “Game of Thrones.”Imagine, he said, if you could use AI to rewrite the ending of that not-so-popular finale. Maybe even put yourself into the show.“That is what entertainment will look like,” said Brockman.Not six months since the release of ChatGPT, generative artificial intelligence is already prompting widespread unease throughout Hollywood. Concern over chatbots writing or rewriting scripts is one of the leading reasons TV and film screenwriters took to picket lines earlier this week.Though the Writers Guild of America is striking for better pay in an industry where streaming has upended many of the old rules, AI looms as rising anxiety.“AI is terrifying,” said Danny Strong, the “Dopesick” and “Empire” creator. “Now, I’ve seen some of ChatGPT’s writing and as of now I’m not terrified because Chat is a terrible ...

Trump is accused in court of rape. Will it matter in 2024?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:08 GMT

E. Jean Carroll testified in sometimes searing detail about the day she says Donald Trump raped her in a department store dressing room two decades before he became president, allegations the Republican has repeatedly and vehemently denied. Taking the witness stand in support of Carroll this week, two friends told jurors that they spoke with the former magazine columnist shortly after the alleged 1996 attack, and that they believe she is telling the truth. Other women testified about separate encounters; one said Trump grabbed and groped her while they were on a flight in the late 1970s, the other told jurors he forcibly kissed her at his Florida home in 2005. The accounts, shared during the civil trial on Carroll’s claims of battery and defamation against Trump, mark the first time that any of the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct against the former president have been heard in a court trial. Given a chance to rebut Carroll’s accusations on the witness stand, Tr...
