TikTok's New Algorithm for US

TikTok is developing a separate algorithm for its US users. This new version will work independently from its Chinese parent, ByteDance.

TikTok's recommendation engine, developed in China, is crucial to its popularity. The split might affect its performance in the US.

Hundreds of engineers are working to separate millions of lines of code. This includes removing any links to Chinese users. The process is expected to take over a year.

The goal is to address concerns from American lawmakers. The US passed a law in April that might force TikTok’s US operations to be sold.

Make $500,000 Managing a Walmart?

Walmart store managers could now earn up to $530,000 a year. The goal is to improve retention.

Previously, Walmart struggled with high attrition rates among its managers.

The increase in departures came after Walmart cut management ranks in the late 2010s. This left remaining managers with more work and longer hours.

The new compensation plan includes significant pay raises, stock grants, and bonuses.

Operation Endgame

International forces, led by Europol and Eurojust, dismantled a ransomware network. Four suspects were arrested, and over 100 servers and 2,000 domains were seized.

The operation, named "Endgame," involved coordinated efforts in the US, Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Ukraine.

Authorities targeted malware "droppers" like IcedID, Pikabot, Smokeloader, Bumblebee, and Trickbot. These droppers spread malware through emails, causing widespread damage.

The suspects earned around €69 million by renting out this criminal infrastructure. This network caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

OpenAI's Fight with AI Manipulation Campaigns

OpenAI revealed how it disrupted five covert influence operations utilizing its AI technology. The bad actors from Russia, China and Iran aimed to manipulate public opinion and political outcomes.

To combat such threats, OpenAI formed a Safety and Security Committee led by CEO Sam Altman.

This move addresses growing concerns about AI misuse influencing global events.
