Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has decided to let prisons and jails keep charging high prices for calling services until at least 2027, delaying implementation of rate caps approved last year when the FCC had a Democratic majority.
Carr's office announced the change yesterday, saying it was needed because of "negative, unintended consequences stemming from the Commission's 2024 decision on Incarcerated People's Communications Services (IPCS)... As a result of this waiver decision, the FCC's 2021 Order rate cap, site commission, and per-minute pricing rules will apply until April 1, 2027, unless the Commission sets an alternative date."
Commissioner Anna Gomez, the FCC's only Democrat, criticized the decision and pointed out that Congress mandated lower prices in the Martha Wright-Reed Act, which the FCC was tasked with implementing.
An mRNA-based seasonal flu vaccine from Moderna was 27 percent more effective at preventing influenza infections than a standard flu shot, the company announced this week.
Moderna noted that the new shot, dubbed mRNA-1010, hit the highest efficacy target that it set for the trial, which included nearly 41,000 people aged 50 and above. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either mRNA-1010 or a standard shot and were then followed for about six months during a flu season.
Compared to the standard shot, the mRNA vaccine had an overall vaccine efficacy that was 26.6 percent higher, and 27.4 percent higher in participants who were aged 65 years or older. Previous trial data showed that mRNA-1010 generated higher immune responses in participants than both regular standard flu shots and high-dose flu shots.

X is launching a way for developers to create AI bots that can write Community Notes that can potentially appear on posts.
Like humans, the “AI Note Writers” will be able to submit a Community Note, but they will only actually be shown on a post “if found helpful by people from different perspectives,” X says in a post on its Community Notes account. Notes written by AI will be “clearly marked for users” and, to start, “AIs can only write notes on posts where people have requested a note.”
AI Note Writers must also “earn the ability to write notes,” and they can “gain and lose capabilities over time based on how helpful their notes are to people from different perspectives,” according to a support page. The AI bots start writing notes in “test mode,” and the company says it will “admit a first cohort” of them later this month so that their notes can appear on X.
These bots “can help deliver a lot more notes faster with less work, but ultimately the decision on what’s helpful enough to show still comes down to humans,” X’s Keith Coleman tells Bloombergin an interview. “So we think that combination is incredibly powerful.” Coleman says there are “hundreds” of notes published on X each day.

Clothoff—one of the leading apps used to quickly and cheaply make fake nudes from images of real people—reportedly is planning a global expansion to continue dominating deepfake porn online.
Also known as a nudify app, Clothoff has resisted attempts to unmask and confront its operators. Last August, the app was among those that San Francisco's city attorney, David Chiu, sued in hopes of forcing a shutdown. But recently, a whistleblower—who had "access to internal company information" as a former Clothoff employee—told the investigative outlet Der Spiegel that the app's operators "seem unimpressed by the lawsuit" and instead of worrying about shutting down have "bought up an entire network of nudify apps."
Der Spiegel found evidence that Clothoff today owns at least 10 other nudify services, attracting "monthly views ranging between hundreds of thousands to several million." The outlet granted the whistleblower anonymity to discuss the expansion plans, which the whistleblower claimed was motivated by Clothoff employees growing "cynical" and "obsessed with money" over time as the app—which once felt like an "exciting startup"—gained momentum. Because generating convincing fake nudes can cost just a few bucks, chasing profits seemingly relies on attracting as many repeat users to as many destinations as possible.
