A man documenting the start of his own auto dealership posted a viral TikTok showing the pitfalls of Facebook Marketplace car purchases. Anthony (@anthonyv299) begins his video with a recording of an auto shop. Inside the garage is a Toyota Sequoia hoisted high above a group of auto techs. They saunter around the vehicle as the TikToker issues a warning to his viewers. Emphatically, he highlights the car as a prime example of why folks should steer clear of Facebook Marketplace.  “This is why you never buy a car marketplace at a Walmart parking lot at 8 o’clock at night,” he says. Next, he continues with his story. “My mechanic sent me this video of a customer of his that came to the shop,” he says. At this point in the clip, the cameraman begins to inspect the Sequoia’s underbelly. On the right side of the car’s front axle, a broken component can be seen jiggling in place. Immediately, it appears that something is off, which Anthony confirms is the case.   » Read More

Facebook has been using your publicly available data, including your posts, photos, and comments, to train its AI since 2007, but now, Meta AI wants to access photos you haven’t even uploaded yet. Facebook users trying to use its “Story” feature are being asked to opt into “cloud processing” via a pop-up, TechCrunch reports. If you click “Allow,” Facebook will be able to generate and suggest new content based on what's inside your camera roll, including things like collages, recaps, AI restylings, or themes like “birthdays or graduations.” But approving the request will mean that Facebook will upload photos from your camera roll to Meta’s servers on an “ongoing basis” to be processed. According to Meta AI's Terms of Service, once you agree, Meta can analyze everything from the facial data of your friends and family to the location where your snaps were taken. At present, it appears the test feature is only available to users in the US and Canada. The change has already attracted a degree of backlash from some users on X and Bluesky,  » Read More

The feature is being suggested to Facebook users when they’re creating a new Story on the social networking app. Here, a screen pops up and asks if the user will opt into “cloud processing” to allow creative suggestions. As the pop-up message explains, by clicking “Allow,” you’ll let Facebook generate new ideas from your camera roll, like collages, recaps, AI restylings, or photo themes. To work, Facebook says it will upload media from your camera roll to its cloud (meaning its servers) on an “ongoing basis,” based on information like time, location, or themes.

PETALING JAYA: A PAS division leader has come under fire from political leaders for suggesting that Malaysia will have its first Chinese prime minister by 2058 following the appointment of Mejar Jeneral Datuk Johnny Lim Eng Seng as the first Chinese senior officer as Leftenan Jeneral.

PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, meanwhile, said Zaharudin’s statement was malicious in nature. “Something that should have been a source of pride, (has been) turned into a matter that could incite animosity and hatred. “Islam does not endorse such views. The prejudicial behaviour clearly shows how some views are so narrow and shallow, that only aims to stoke racial sentiments and hatred,” said Muhammad Kamil in a posting on X on Wednesday (June 25).
