Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte discuss Microsoft's clarification about AI training data usage, a fascinating breakthrough in understanding autonomous vehicle vulnerabilities, and an urgent call for help from the Tor Network. The show culminates in an in-depth exploration of NASA's incredible Voyager 1 mission, which continues to communicate with Earth from nearly a light-day away despite increasing technical challenges.

• "Digital epileptic seizures" caused by flashing emergency vehicle lights can confuse automated driving systems, posing crash risks
• Tor Network issues urgent call for volunteers to run new WebTunnel bridges to circumvent censorship in Russia
• Zello asks its 140 million users to change passwords as a precautionary measure, hinting at a possible data breach
• FTC opens broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft's business practices across software, cloud, cybersecurity, and AI
• New Android scareware tactic simulates a seriously cracked and malfunctioning smartphone screen
• Steve argues it's likely safe to leave Wireguard VPN ports open, but he prefers not to out of an abundance of caution
• Research shows AI training on AI-generated content can lead to homogeneity and loss of diversity in outputs
• Australia passes world-first law banning children under 16 from social media, with hefty fines for non-compliant platforms
• NASA's Voyager 1 probe, nearly a light-day from Earth, resumes operations after a communications scare but faces mounting technical challenges as it nears the end of its life
