Instagram has spent the last few weeks trying to clean up harassment videos recorded using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The platform deactivated two pickup-artist accounts, each with over a million followers, after they were found to be posting videos of women recorded without their consent. However, a recent Business Insider investigation found that the crackdown hasn’t been going well, with dozens of similar videos still circulating on the platform. That failure to catch problematic videos isn’t limited to public harassment anymore. A report from Futurism reveals that teenage boys are using Meta’s smart glasses to record classmates and teachers at…

I like minimalist phones more in theory than I probably would in practice. I want fewer reasons to stare at a screen, but I also know I’m used to my phone doing ordinary things quickly and without putting up a fight. That’s why the Minimal Phone 2 interests me. It swaps the original model’s E-paper display for a smoother 90Hz AMOLED panel, alongside faster hardware, 5G, and better cameras. If I were buying one, I’d probably want most of those upgrades too. The problem is that once you add them all together, the Minimal Phone starts looking suspiciously like the…

LG Display says its new FLiPP OLED technology can make displays last 2.4 times longer than panels made with conventional fine metal masks under the same conditions. It also claims a 1.6x increase in brightness while cutting power use by 13%. LG Display plans to bring FLiPP to IT products such as monitors and tablets first, which gives the technology a fairly direct path from the lab to products people might actually buy. That puts OLED monitors near the front of the line for testing whether those numbers hold up once FLiPP moves into mass production. How FLiPP changes OLED…

OpenAI wants to get better at spotting people abusing its frontier AI models without asking privacy-conscious customers to give up Zero Data Retention. In an August 19 announcement, OpenAI introduced Private Safety Processing, a system designed to detect suspicious behavior across multiple interactions while preserving ZDR for eligible API customers. OpenAI says its existing ZDR safeguards evaluate requests individually, making patterns spread across several interactions harder to detect. Private Safety Processing is supposed to fill that gap without giving OpenAI employees access to the underlying prompts or responses. For now, the system is being tested with early customers. Axios reports…
