Flaw in Intel Chips Could Open Door to Botnet Armies
A 7-year-old flaw in Intel chips could enable hijackers to gain total
control of business computers and use them for malicious purposes. The
Intel AMT vulnerability is the first of its kind, according to Embedi,
which released technical details about it last week. Attackers could
exploit the flaw to get full control over business computers, even those
turned off but plugged into an outlet.

Raspberry Pi Fans Can Build Their Own AI Voice Assistant
Google and AIY Projects have launched an open source DIY artificial
intelligence Voice Kit for Raspberry Pi hobbyists. The AIY Voice Kit
includes hardware for audio capture and playback, connectors for the
dual mike daughterboard and speaker, GPIO pins to connect low-voltage
components such as micro servos and sensors, and an optional barrel
connector for a dedicated power supply.

The Massive Unintended Consequences of Self-Driving Cars
Car residual prices are collapsing, based on an alert that crossed my
desk last week, and it struck me that we haven't considered much the
secondary impacts of having self-driving cars, and the changes that will
result from turning automobiles into four-wheeled elevators. Many
industry players are treating self-driving cars much like cruise
control: a nice-to-have option.
