The metaverse is a (potential network of) 3D virtual world(s) on the internet. These worlds are typically designed to be highly social and require users to have virtual identities, often through avatars with specific attributes. These worlds can provide a sense of ownership over virtual items such as land, building and artwork, as they typically have their own virtual economy with their own currency. Examples of these worlds today include Second Life, Fortnite, Roblox, The Sandbox, Decentraland and Somnium.

The metaverse offers managers and allocators significant benefits, the most immediate being employee health. More generally, it reduces turnover (a Qualtrics survey shows that about four in ten millennials and Gen Zers say they’d quit their jobs if asked to come back to the office full-time), which in turn reduces expenses, ensures a stable corporate culture, and perpetuates corporate memory.
The metaverse also expands the talent pool because a manager can now hire candidates from around the world (including those whose disabilities might limit or prohibit their access to a physical office), improves productivity (work can get done in different ways with new tools), encourages social interactions between team members, and provides a new degree of flexibility (a manager can create different rooms to fit the changing needs of its business) while reducing fixed and variable costs (e.g., rent and travel) — all of which increases the likelihood of the manager creating better investment outcomes for its clients.

Software Freedom Conservancy announces a Committee On AI-Assisted Programming and Copyleft to develop recommendations and plans for a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community response to the use of machine learning tools for code generation and authorship. The ethics and morality of machine learning models, which are regularly being applied to many problems, are a serious concern to policy makers. This Committee will focus on the specific issue of AI-assisted programming using models trained with FOSS, such as we've seen with GitHub's Copilot product. Microsoft, through their GitHub subsidiary, argues, without evidence, that use of Copilot (which has been trained with a large body of FOSS) is “fair use” of that FOSS, and that all output of Copilot is solely copyrighted by its users. This conclusion focuses on the legal details of issues rather than ethics and morality, and Microsoft and GitHub have refused to provide backing evidence. This Committee will focus on the ethics and morality of their position, and consider the proper policy positions for the FOSS community and copyleft activists in the advent of AI-assisted programming.

Depuis plusieurs années, l’OTAN redoute que la Russie s’en prenne, un jour, aux câbles sous-marins, ces autoroutes de fibre optique reposant au fond des mers et qui assurent les communications intercontinentales. Or ces infrastructures sont essentielles pour l’Internet européen et le bon fonctionnement de son économie.

Ever since Star Wars first showed space wizards talking to holograms, calling someone and chatting with their 3D simulacrum has become a staple of science fiction. But based on a patent application published in January, it sure looks like FacebookMeta is trying to make 3D conversations a reality right now — even if not quite the way George Lucas envisioned it.
With the disclaimer that many patents never end up becoming an actual product, the patent does hint at how Meta envisions the future of communication.
What’s the patent about?
Meta, then Facebook, filed a Patent Application in 2020 titled 3D Conversations in an Artificial Reality Environment. Specifically, the application outlines a pipeline for capturing and transmitting 3D representations of callers, “allowing conversation participants to appear as if face-to-face.” Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=Hologram

The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has completed its test run of secure communication flows that could withstand attackers using quantum computing.
Konrad Wrona, principal scientist at the NCSC, told ZDNet that it is becoming increasingly important to create protection schemes against current and future threats.
"Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception," Wrona said.
"The trial started in March 2021. The trial was completed in early 2022. Quantum computing is becoming more and more affordable, scalable and practical. The threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' is one all organizations, including NATO, are preparing to respond to.

Pour amoindrir notre empreinte écologique, de nombreux experts parlent de sobriété numérique. Cela demande donc de réduire sa consommation bien sûr et aussi de cesser de jeter les anciens appareils "vétustes". Par la remise à neuf et le recyclage, cela diminuerait l'effet sur l'environnement.
