How to stop Meta training its AI using your Facebook data

Content shared on Meta’s social media platforms, like Instagram and Facebook, is being used for the company’s AI training.
Instagram and Facebook users should have recently received a notification informing them that their content, including posts and photos, will be being used to train Meta’s AI products and services. This is an automatic opt-in but users can opt out if they want.
“We also use information shared on Meta’s Products and services,” writes Meta on the Gen AI privacy page This information could be things such as posts or photos and their captions.”
“Even if you don’t use our Products and services or have an account, we may still process information about you to develop and improve AI at Meta.”
That means that, even if you don’t have a Facebook or Instagram profile, if someone else shares your image or information about you there, it will still be used to train Meta’s AI systems.
How to opt out of Meta’s AI training on Facebook
If you don’t want your information and data being used for Meta’s AI products, such as the recently launched Meta AI assistant, there is a way to opt out. If you got a notification about AI training on your Facebook profile, click through on the notification and then on ‘right to object’. Otherwise, you can also click directly through via this link.
From there, you need to fill out your country of residence, email, and the reason you don’t want Meta using your information for AI training. This can be as simple as writing: ‘I don’t want my data used.’
Once sent off, you should get a response from Meta confirming that the content you post won’t be used to train AI. Notably, this still doesn’t include when you appear anywhere in an image shared on Meta’s services by someone else or when you are mentioned in posts or captions that someone else shares.

Crypto Experts Predict Where The Ethereum Price Is Headed Next Following ETH ETF Approvals

The past week was monumental for crypto as the SEC approved Ethereum ETFs. Around the approval, the ETH price surged from around the $3,000 area to slightly below $4,000.
Let’s now explore what top crypto analysts think about the Ethereum price forecast.
Ethereum Price Prediction
At press time, the Ethereum price is trading around $3,850, down roughly 1.5% in the last 24 hours. Jelle, an analyst with over 84,000 followers on X, shared insightful analysis on the ETH price forecast against BTC. He believes the multi-year re-accumulation phase for Ethereum has concluded with the ETF approvals, signaling it’s time for the ETH price to skyrocket. In a chart, he compared Ethereum against Bitcoin, showing ETH bouncing off support near $0.05, with the current ratio around $0.057.

This took much longer than I anticipated, but people are finally seeing bull-market ethereum again.
3 years of re-accumulation completed, the ETFs have been approved.

It’s important to note that while approved, the Ethereum ETFs have not yet started trading. Some analysts predict they may not launch until July or August. _gabrielShapir0, another prominent analyst with over 40,000 followers, offered a different perspective.
He suggested the ETF approvals were only the first step, and full S-1 approvals might face delays due to political factors related to ESG rules.

alpha on why ETH isn’t mooning: –>only 19b-4s approved, not S-1s–>approval was by division of trading/markets on ‘delegated authority’–>means a commissioner can challenge in next 10 days (also means they are trying to hide the vote b/c it’s political)
what’s really going…

The momentum for Ethereum chart is bullish but showing signs of inflecting. While the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) line is still above the signal line, indicating positive momentum, the declining MACD histogram bars suggest that momentum may have peaked and could be nearing a downswing.
Currently, Ethereum’s price is neither overbought nor oversold based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) levels being between 30 and 70. The analyst identified the nearest support levels at $3,200 and $2,930, while the nearest resistance zones are at $4,000 and $4,800.
For Ethereum to continue its bull trajectory, it needs to break above $4,000, at which point the all-time high area from 2021 would be “in reach.”
Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy Now Amid Ethereum ETF Approvals
Amid the Ethereum ETF approvals, some experts are highlighting promising altcoin projects as potential investment opportunities. ClayBro, a YouTuber with 130,000 subscribers, recently posted a bullish video about Dogeverse, highlighting it as one of the best cryptocurrencies to invest in right now.
The Dogeverse pre-sale has generated tens of millions of dollars, with just six days remaining to participate. There is high interest and excitement surrounding the approaching end of the pre-sale. To avoid scams, ClayBro emphasizes using the official website link in the description.

Dogeverse aims to be the biggest new meme coin of 2024, though it faces competition from high-market-cap coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Unlike typical meme coins, Dogeverse aims to provide real utility through a multi-chain approach and high staking yields. It allows users to transfer assets between different blockchains without using centralized exchanges, focusing on building an ecosystem and providing actual utility beyond just being a meme coin.
The project has a rapidly growing community with significant social media engagement. The pre-sale ends on June 3rd at 6 a.m. Eastern Time, with the claim launch on June 5th at the same time. As an example of potential returns, ClayBro mentions buying 10 Ethereum worth of Dogeverse, which could yield significant gains. Additionally, Dogeverse offers 48% annualized interest for staking, with a seven-day waiting period for unstaking.
Another project worth mentioning is WienerAI, a new meme coin that combines the popular trends of AI technology and dog-themed meme coins. WienerAI raised over $3.2 million in its crypto presale.
Conclusion
All in all, while Ethereum’s price has seen a boost following the ETF approvals, analysts have varying perspectives on the Ethereum price forecast. Meanwhile, projects like Dogeverse and WienerAI are gearing up to potentially be one of the best altcoins to invest in now.

F1 24: Unfortunately, fans are right, the game is undriveable

The complaining is for real. F1 24’s handling is bad. To the point of undriveable. For me anyway.
But I’ve been driving this game on a gamepad for eight years, currently using no less than an Xbox Elite Series 2 to tune my inputs for maximum stability and smoothness. And it’s true, just being away from the game for a good two or three months requires me to almost re-learn how the car behaves, if I intend to drive at a high difficulty or set respectable lap times in Time Trial.
But whenever the game has thrown me a problem that seemed to me to be intractable, I’ve always reminded myself that millions play this series; that gamepad is the preferred method of play; that I’m not special in either talent or knowledge here, and I’ve always found a way to keep playing. Maybe it was a car setup or a calibration setting, but — as a point of pride — I still found a way to solve Baku’s inscrutable downforce demands or the Hotel Hairpin at Monaco.
That’s going to take a bit more work this time, if not one hell of a title update from Codemasters altogether. I am not the only one with this complaint.
Redditors are already pining for F1 23 — which I agree, is probably the best-handling game in the series, but I still had to spend time understanding it, and it was still a white-knuckle ride, especially in those all-out qualifying laps.

BREAKING: A post launch update for F1 24 is said to massively improve the game’s handling
According to sources who have tested an early access build of F1 24, the handling has been overhauled and greatly improved over the current state.#F124 #F124beta
— F1 24 News and Info (@F124News) May 27, 2024

In F1 24, the first lap I ran, at Bahrain International Circuit in Time Trial, I went off the course the first 12 times in the final corner of the out-lap. This is a corner I can take in my sleep. It’s not a double apex, but it has an early exit where you can really lay on the gas and get a huge head of steam to start your lap. After finally juddering out of it and down the straight to start my time, I barely saved the car from going off track to take turn 1. The resulting chicane sent me exploding into the barriers like Nikita Mazepin.
At Austria, I finally said the hell with it and put on the training wheels — steering assist, which I have never used, which also sets traction control and brake assist to full, which I have also never used in conjunction (usually one has been full, with the other off). That finally got me around the Red Bull Ring without a deleted time, it was just six full seconds slower than my fastest time in last year’s game.
I’m hardly the only one having this kind of experience. The YouTube Channel F1 Games Experience reported back in April that of 52 closed beta testers he’d contacted, all 52 of them said the game was undriveable.

Jarno Opmeer, an esports driver and a two-time Formula One Esports champion, called the handling “dogs**t” about four days ago, in a clip circulating widely among the game’s many unofficial social media channels and forum threads. Opmeer is also someone who has driven Formula One cars, with Renault Sport Academy.
Elsewhere there are complaints about vehicle and world physics turning some courses into drifting competitions while allowing more skilled drivers to take Silverstone’s fabled Maggots and Becketts at full speed, or Australia’s terrifying turns 11 and 12 by literally drifting through.
F1 24 needs to swallow a spoonful of hard medicine
Though this is not death-in-the-family level sadness, I am no less melancholy at the idea that driving F1 24 on a gamepad is so difficult as to bar me from what looks like a hell of a game elsewhere.
A preview event in April showcased a driver career (as opposed to a created team) that has gotten a lot of love and a lot of depth. Everyone japes at F1 World as a microtransactions hub, but you can have hours of fun there without spending a dime.
Mostly, I consider many of the conversations I’ve had with Codemasters developers over the years about this beautiful video game to be career highlights, so to level this necessary criticism at them makes me feel like a nickel. But guys, I can’t play your game; I can’t see all of your hard work.
I don’t know if the newer and more sophisticated physics are to blame but I’ve never driven cars so twitchy in any motorsports game. I don’t know if this is an accommodation for driving wheel peripherals that’s catching gamepad drivers in the blast; that seems unlikely, as dedicated wheel drivers are also complaining about the handling.
Meantime, I will keep trying. I’ll keep googling “F1 24 handling” and “F1 24 calibration gamepad” and “F1 24 brake throttle deadzones” in hopes someone in some forum found the key to free this game. Until then, I suggest Codemasters get to work bringing back F1 23’s handling however they can. I know that’s not as simple as swapping a busted wing at Zandvoort.
But absent any explanation or advice for how to make F1 24 driveable, if Codemasters wants us to see the rest of their hard work, this is the only shot they have.
