Science/Technology / Despite The Expansion Of Chatgpt, Investors In Openai Perceive Additional... by Benbay2233: 1:21pm On Nov 10, 2023
The recent announcement from OpenAI regarding artificial intelligence “apps” does not signal the end for emerging startups working on AI products, according to two investors associated with OpenAI who spoke at a Helpleak NEXT conference on Thursday.


These investors emphasized that there is still a keen interest in discovering new AI products that can enhance user interactions with technology and tackle profound technological challenges, such as brain-computer interfaces.

OpenAI, the creator of the widely used ChatGPT chatbot, recently introduced a marketplace enabling users to access customized AI “apps” for various tasks, including teaching math or creating stickers.

The announcement raised concerns among founders of AI startups who fear they might face challenges in competing with OpenAI, as the company endeavors to establish an AI empire with offerings targeting both consumers and enterprises.

Konstantine Buhler, a partner at Sequoia Capital, reassured at the conference, stating, “There’s still ample space for ongoing innovation in AI. We’re in a transitional phase within a revolution that spans decades. You can play a significant role in shaping how this evolves.”

Sequoia Capital made an investment in OpenAI, the creator of...

Science/Technology / Apple And The US Reach A $25 Million Settlement Over Apple’s Hiring Of Foreign.. by Benbay2233: 1:13pm On Nov 10, 2023
Apple and the US reach a $25 million settlement over Apple’s hiring of foreign workers

Apple Inc has agreed to a $25 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, resolving allegations that the company unlawfully prioritized immigrant workers over U.S. citizens and green card holders for specific positions, as announced by the agency on Thursday.

The Justice Department stated that Apple failed to actively seek out U.S. citizens or permanent residents for roles covered by a federal program permitting employers to support immigrant workers in obtaining green cards. This contravened a federal law prohibiting discrimination based on citizenship.

This settlement marks the Justice Department’s largest-ever resolution regarding claims of citizenship-based discrimination, with Apple agreeing to pay $6.75 million in civil penalties and $18.25 million to an undisclosed number of impacted employees.

In response, Apple issued a statement acknowledging that it had inadvertently deviated from the DOJ’s standards. The company expressed its commitment to rectifying the situation, citing the implementation of a comprehensive remediation plan aimed at...

Science/Technology / Google And Meta Prevail In Court Against The Austrian Online Content Regulation by Benbay2233: 12:31pm On Nov 09, 2023
Alphabet’s Google, Meta Platforms, and TikTok received support from Europe’s highest court in their battle against an Austrian law that mandates the removal of hate speech or potential fines of up to $10.69 million. This Austrian law, implemented in 2021, compels major tech companies to issue regular reports on illegal content, coinciding with global concerns regarding the proliferation of hateful posts.

The European Union has also introduced the Digital Services Act (DSA), which imposes stricter responsibilities on major online platforms to combat illegal and harmful online content, with potential fines of up to 6% of their annual revenue.

Google, Meta, and TikTok contested the Austrian law in an Austrian court, arguing that it contradicts an EU regulation stating that online service providers are only bound by the regulations of the country where they are headquartered, while countries where they offer their services must abstain from enforcing their own laws.

These three corporations, which have their European headquarters...

Science/Technology / Meta Will Demand Disclosures For Political Advertisements Generated By AI And... by Benbay2233: 1:48pm On Nov 08, 2023
Meta will demand disclosures for political advertisements generated by AI and modified

Meta Platforms announced on Wednesday that starting in 2024, advertisers will be mandated to indicate when artificial intelligence (AI) or other digital techniques are employed to modify or fabricate political, social, or election-related advertisements on Facebook and Instagram.

As the world’s second-largest digital advertising platform, Meta explained in a blog post that it will make it obligatory for advertisers to reveal whether their modified or fabricated ads depict actual individuals as engaging in actions or uttering statements they never did, or if they digitally generate a lifelike person who is non-existent.

The company will also request advertisers to reveal whether such advertisements depict events that never occurred, manipulate real event footage, or represent real events without employing the genuine image, video, or audio recording of the actual event.

These policy amendments, which follow Meta’s previous declaration of prohibiting political advertisers from utilizing generative AI ad tools, are being introduced about a month after the Facebook parent company disclosed its plans to extend advertisers’ usage of AI-driven advertising tools that can rapidly produce backgrounds, adjust images, and create different versions of ad copy based on simple text prompts.

Google, the largest digital advertising firm under Alphabet, recently unveiled comparable generative AI ad tools for customizing images. They also expressed their intention to maintain a political filter for their products, preventing the use of certain “political keywords” as prompts.

U.S. legislators have expressed apprehension over the utilization of AI in fabricating content that falsely portrays political candidates in advertisements, aiming to influence federal...

Science/Technology / Nintendo Is Creating A "Zelda" Film As Pat Of A Recent Entertainment Push by Benbay2233: 1:39pm On Nov 08, 2023
Nintendo announced on Wednesday its plans to create a live-action film based on the enduring franchise "The Legend of Zelda." This move by the Kyoto-based company represents its ongoing efforts to expand beyond its core gaming business.

Nintendo achieved significant success with its animated film "Super Mario Bros" earlier this year, highlighting the commercial appeal of video game adaptations and contributing to increased demand for its aging Switch console.

Nintendo's shares experienced a 6% surge following the company's announcement that it had sold 6.84 million Switch units during the first half of the fiscal year. This strong performance was bolstered by incremental hardware enhancements and game titles featuring Nintendo's beloved characters.

The upcoming "Zelda" film will be produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of "Super Mario," and Avi Arad, a seasoned producer known for films like "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." While both individuals have been collaborating on a "Zelda" adaptation for an extended period, it is anticipated that the production of the movie will require some time, as suggested by posts on Nintendo's social media accounts.

The production of the "Zelda" film will be jointly funded by Nintendo and Sony (6758.T). Sony has been enjoying success in adapting game franchises as well. The movie will be directed by Wes Ball, known for his work on films like the upcoming "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes."

Nintendo also reported on Tuesday that it had sold 19.5 million copies of the latest "Zelda" game by....

A new study claims that the mutated virus causing monkeypox is “spreading widely” and posing a threat to public health

A recent study reveals that, in the past, the monkeypox virus could only be transmitted from rodents to humans, but it can now spread among people.

Researchers are expressing concerns regarding the evolving nature of the monkeypox virus and its outbreak management.

Historically, the initial cases of monkeypox in humans were documented in the 1970s.

In recently peer-reviewed research, the authors highlight that the virus has undergone 42 genetic substitutions within a relatively short period of three to four years, a surprisingly high number.

In March 2022, a global outbreak of human monkeypox occurred, although it received less attention than the COVID-19 pandemic.

The authors point out that monkeypox has been spreading extensively across Europe and, subsequently, worldwide.

It is now estimated that the monkeypox virus has been circulating among humans since 2016, underscoring the urgent need for an updated approach to its viral management.
The monkeypox virus is undergoing genetic changes and branching into new lineages due to ongoing interactions with the human immune system, which marks a departure from its previous status as solely a zoonotic disease.

According to the study’s authors, the sustained transmission of monkeypox virus represents a significant shift in how we understand its epidemiology, moving away from the traditional view of...

Health / Dr. Sara Outlines Three Indicators That Your Cough Requires Medical Attention by Benbay2233: 11:37am On Nov 07, 2023
To determine whether your cough is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, it is advisable to consult your general practitioner (GP). Dr. Sara Kayat offers guidance on distinguishing between the two.

As temperatures drop and individuals gather indoors, viruses and various infections thrive and circulate among the population. Whether you’re on a bus or perusing the aisles of your local supermarket, the sounds of coughing have become increasingly prevalent in public spaces.

Many individuals experience chest infections during this season, which can be of either viral or bacterial origin. Typically, these infections are viral, allowing you to employ home remedies and over-the-counter medications for relief, as advised by Dr. Sara Kayat. However, the doctor also cautions about three signs that may indicate the need to consult a general practitioner for your cough
The television physician clarified that viral coughs typically resolve within a span of three weeks and usually do not necessitate a doctor’s appointment.

During an appearance on ITV’s program “This Morning,” she pointed out, “You can identify it as a viral infection when you experience symptoms like a runny nose, a possible headache, and elevated temperatures. Additionally, with an infection, you may frequently experience...

Health / A Father Of Three Passed Away Shortly After Being Diagnosed With Cancer by Benbay2233: 12:36pm On Nov 06, 2023
Two deeply saddened sisters are of the opinion that their brother should have received more comprehensive care to prevent the spread of cancer in his body. They have chosen to share their story during Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month with the intention of preventing such a situation from recurring for anyone else.

Gareth Andrew Weston, a resident of Mountain Ash, passed away at the age of 37, leaving behind three children just four months after his initial medical appointment. His sisters, Hayley Civit and Emma Weston, believe that more should have been undertaken to provide assistance to their brother during the months leading up to his unforeseen death due to cancer.

The sisters asserted that Gareth received three different cancer diagnoses before a scan eventually revealed that the disease had spread throughout his body, leading to his tragic passing the following day.

Following the concerns raised by the family, both the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and University Hospitals Birmingham are conducting...

Health / A Recent Survey Reveals That 2/3 Of Today’s Students Experience Anxiety by Benbay2233: 12:25pm On Nov 06, 2023
In a study encompassing almost 12,000 students in 15 different countries to assess their mental health, it was observed that 62% of UK students had encountered daily episodes of anxiety. This percentage ranked fourth globally, following the United States, Brazil, and Australia.

According to “The Global Student Survey in the Age of AI,” conducted by education company Chegg.org, less than half (49%) of UK students express feelings of optimism, which is the lowest percentage among the surveyed countries. Around two-thirds of UK students (66%) report inadequate sleep, and more than half (56%) indicate experiencing academic burnout. Additionally, 43% of UK students state they have difficulty meeting people or making friends, ranking fourth globally after Australia, the United States, and South Africa.

These findings are based on an in-depth opinion poll involving over 11,816 undergraduate students aged 18-21 years, including 1,000 students from the UK.

Heather Hatlo Porter, the head of Chegg.org, remarked, “Our survey reveals that students worldwide are dealing with stress, sleep deprivation, and social challenges. There is a critical need for robust mental health support to empower learners to maximize their educational experience...

Science/Technology / AI Safety Summit, According To Elon Musk, Seeks To Create A “third-party Referee by Benbay2233: 1:37pm On Nov 02, 2023
During the first AI Safety Summit held in the United Kingdom, Elon Musk proposed the creation of an external oversight entity that could monitor AI development companies and raise warnings in case of concerns.

Musk explained, “Our primary goal here is to establish a structure for transparency so that there exists an impartial third-party referee capable of monitoring the activities of leading AI companies and raising concerns if necessary.” The billionaire entrepreneur made these remarks while speaking to journalists at Bletchley Park, located in central England.

“I may not be certain about the precise definition of fair rules, but it’s crucial to commence with gaining a comprehensive understanding before implementing oversight,” Musk stated.

Science/Technology / Unexpectedly, The New Samsung Galaxy Phone Is A Throwback To Android by Benbay2233: 10:49am On Nov 01, 2023
The new blue flip phone pays tribute to Samsung's original phone, which featured an integrated antenna.

Flip phones have made a comeback, primarily due to advances in folding screen technology, and Samsung is at the forefront with its Z Flip 5, which we praised as "the ultimate flip phone" in our review on Helpleak.

For those who appreciate the retro charm of flip phones, the limited edition Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro might pique your interest. This new version of the phone is now available for purchase in the UK.

Samsung has crafted the phone with an indigo blue and silver color scheme, drawing inspiration from the Samsung SGH-E700, a flip phone introduced 20 years ago in 2003. What set it apart was that it was the first Samsung phone with a built-in antenna, eliminating the need for an external protruding antenna, a common feature on phones of that era.

At a price of £1,199, the brand new Z Flip 5 Retro is a premium offering, surpassing the cost of the standard model, which is priced at £1,049.

The Retro Flip includes a special presentation box featuring a transparent case and cards that allow users to insert various Samsung logos from different eras. It also includes a collector's card engraved with a unique serial number, indicating the limited availability of this phone....

Science/Technology / Canada Is Upbeat About The Us-canada Digital Services Tax Agreement by Benbay2233: 8:54am On Nov 01, 2023
Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland expressed cautious optimism on Tuesday regarding the resolution of a dispute with the United States over Ottawa's proposed digital services tax (DST) targeting large technology companies.

The digital services tax proposal is designed to tackle the issue of taxing digital giants such as Alphabet and Amazon.com that can record their profits in countries with low tax rates.

The U.S. government has consistently raised objections to Canada's proposed tax, arguing that it unfairly targets American firms and has called on Ottawa to abandon the plan.

"I was in Washington last week, and we had productive discussions about the DST, both at the official level. I am cautiously hopeful that we can come to an agreement with our American counterparts," Freeland informed reporters in Ottawa...

Science/Technology / Samsung Plans To Extend Output Cuts As Necessary And Anticipates Chip Recovery by Benbay2233: 10:32am On Oct 31, 2023
Samsung Electronics announced its intention to persist with production reductions in order to alleviate an oversupply of chips, with a focus on preparing for 2024. In that year, the company anticipates that the industry will pivot towards heightened investment and production of high-end chips for generative artificial intelligence.

Samsung has scaled down its chip production throughout this year as a response to an unparalleled downturn in the industry. The company has also indicated its plans for further adjustments in production, particularly for NAND flash memory chips, as the market begins to rebound.

During an earnings call, Jaejune Kim, the Executive Vice President of Samsung’s memory business, revealed that the company has received purchase inquiries from server customers looking to secure components. This interest has grown as awareness spreads that the industry has reached its low point. Kim stated, “Considering the normalization of inventory levels, we expect the market to recover, particularly in PC and mobile memory.”

Samsung, the world’s largest memory chip and smartphone manufacturer, anticipates a surge in demand for DRAM chips, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), in 2024. This surge is expected due to the proliferation of on-device AI functions.

Samsung faces competition in the field of memory chips for AI from...

Science/Technology / Alibaba Relies On Its Aggressive Singles Day Pricing Strategy To Boost Sale by Benbay2233: 10:13am On Oct 31, 2023
The Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is exerting pressure on merchants to provide highly discounted prices on its online platforms during this year's Singles Day extravaganza, according to three industry insiders. This move is part of Alibaba's efforts to increase sales and counter a decline in its market share.

The sources, who assist numerous brands in managing their stores on Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao platforms, reported that they received instructions to offer the most attractive prices of the year for the upcoming major shopping event. Failure to do so could result in a loss of the traffic and support typically provided to participants in the event.

Alibaba's declaration of providing 80 million products at their most reduced prices for this year's extended Singles Day event, starting from late October and continuing until November 11, is coupled with an unconventional push to compel merchants to comply with its directives, according to the sources.

This approach indicates Alibaba's response to competition from platforms like Douyin and Pinduoduo, a subsidiary of PDD Holdings (PDD.O). These competitors have significantly altered the landscape of Chinese e-commerce by consistently offering discounted and lower-cost items throughout the year, leveraging techniques like live-streaming. Their methods have diminished the exclusivity of significant events like Singles Day...

Science/Technology / Cryptoverse: Is It Worth It All? Bitcoin Etfs With A Focus On The US Market by Benbay2233: 9:58am On Oct 31, 2023
Bitcoin, the pioneering digital currency challenging the traditional financial system, is making a significant move toward mainstream acceptance through the introduction of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to mirror its price. However, the question remains: will this endeavor prove to be lucrative?

The largest cryptocurrency globally surged by 28% in October, as investors anticipate that regulatory approval for a bitcoin ETF in the United States is imminent. Such approval is expected to ignite a fresh surge in demand.

The potential financial influx that this ETF could attract, though, remains uncertain.

Well, providing a precise prediction is challenging, given the wide array of forecasts offered by market participants, spanning from an initial valuation of $3 billion on its debut to potentially reaching $55 billion within a five-year period.

Dave Mazza, the Chief Strategy Officer at ETF provider Roundhill Investments, drew a parallel to the transformation seen in the gold market when spot ETFs received approval. He anticipates that the initial introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs will trigger a substantial surge in demand, similar to the launches of the first-ever gold ETF in the U.S. back in 2006 or the bitcoin futures ETF in 2021.

Prominent players in the investment world, including industry giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, as well as companies specialized in cryptocurrency like Grayscale, have submitted requests for spot bitcoin ETFs. The chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosed that they are currently reviewing eight to ten applications for new spot bitcoin offerings, though specific decision timelines were not provided.

On the flip side, skeptics within the traditional investment community, who have long been cautious about cryptocurrency, maintain their reservations and express their reluctance to embrace these new investment instruments.

“This is what happened to my health after drinking lemon and ginger tea for two weeks.”

Health reporter Fiona Callingham conducted an experiment to evaluate the immunity-boosting advantages of this warm beverage.


As we approach the winter months, which is inevitable, many of us, including myself, often experience seasonal illnesses. After a recent period of poor health, which involved a positive Covid test and recovering from keyhole surgery, I became even more committed to safeguarding my health and well-being against the cold weather.

A few weeks ago, I decided to try turmeric tea to see if it could alleviate some of the post-surgery bloating I was dealing with. Although the results were not particularly clear-cut, this got me thinking: are there other hot beverages I could experiment with to enhance my health?

With many of my friends currently dealing with colds and the flu, I decided to explore ways to boost my immune system. After consulting with a few experts, they recommended a combination of lemon and ginger to help ward off unwanted illnesses.

Matt Durkin, a vitamin expert at Sealions, explained that both lemon and ginger are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which can contribute to strengthening the immune system. He emphasized that vitamin C plays a crucial role in the production of white blood cells...

Huawei Technologies experienced a marginal increase in revenue during the initial three quarters of 2023. The company attributed this growth to the expansion of its digital power and cloud divisions, along with the enhanced competitiveness of its vehicle components segment.

In contrast to the modest revenue increase, profit surged by 177.8% during this period, reaching 73.05 billion yuan, as calculated by Reuters.

Fireboy DML - Airplane Mode Lyrics

Airplane Mode Lyrics By Fireboy DML

Yeah yeah ouuu
So many things wey dey bother man stress from friends and family and
Brotherman
Man living like an animal
When a problem goes
Life comes with another one
But I'm a god, I'm a stronger man
I be different breed, my kind no be normal one
I'm not trynna be the number one
So many legends dey
I'm just trynna be another one

Chorus
But sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya oh
All the pressure and the wahala oh
E dey be like say I don tire
Sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya oh
All the pressure and the wahala oh

I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone Nothing dey do me, you should know I just feel like i should do this on my own
I just wanna be alone.....
