The US has charged Huawei with stealing trade secrets, money laundering, and fraud. This escalates the already tense situation with China on a number of fronts.
An engineer does a Twitter thread on AI-created videos on YouTube. He describes how they are created, promoted, and selected for display in recommendations.

It could be that proximity-based security devices might need a trigger event (from the owner) before becoming active, like for mobile payments.
