For climate change advocates, population reduction has become a central topic. The claim is that each additional person produces around 4 tons of carbon dioxide annually, leading many to believe that curbing population growth is essential for environmental sustainability. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in voluntary sterilizations, a record-breaking number of…
China’s “Artificial Sun” Sets New Fusion Record: A Step Closer to Limitless Clean Energy On January 20, 2025, China achieved a groundbreaking milestone in clean energy development. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as China’s “Artificial Sun,” sustained a stable plasma in high-confinement mode for an astonishing 1,066 seconds—nearly 18 minutes—shattering its previous record…
The release of DeepSeek-R1, an artificial intelligence model developed by a Chinese company, has turned heads across the tech world. With 671 billion parameters, this AI can tackle highly complex tasks—ranging from technical calculations to offering policy recommendations. While its potential to change industries is undeniable, its open access also raises important questions about the…
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently published a white paper titled Resilience Pulse Check: Harnessing Collaboration to Navigate a Volatile World, which advocates for greater public-private sector cooperation to accelerate the implementation of digital identification systems, censorship of “misinformation,” and private sector investment in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While…
In a groundbreaking development, scientists from South Korea have introduced Nano-MIND (Magnetogenetic Interface for NeuroDynamics), an innovative technology that allows for the wireless and highly precise modulation of specific deep brain neural circuits through the use of magnetic fields. This cutting-edge breakthrough holds immense potential for unlocking the mysteries of complex brain functions and advancing…
In the year 1258, the Mongol Empire, led by Hulagu Khan, launched a devastating siege on Baghdad, a city that symbolized centuries of cultural and intellectual achievement under the Abbasid Caliphate. This event marked the catastrophic end of Abbasid rule and dealt an irreparable blow to the Islamic Golden Age, a period of unparalleled advancements…
Russia is preparing to launch an expansive facial recognition payment network, spearheaded by Sberbank and the National Payment Card System (NSPK). The project aims to install approximately two million biometric payment terminals nationwide, beginning with Moscow’s metro system in 2024 and expanding fully across the country by late 2025. The system is tied to the…
Scientists have discovered seven new “dark comets,” celestial objects that blur the boundary between asteroids and comets, bringing the total number of known dark comets to 14. These objects resemble asteroids but move like comets and could provide valuable insights into the origins of Earth’s water and the development of life. Unlike traditional comets, dark…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the global workforce, with projections suggesting the potential loss of millions of jobs by 2030. An alarming 41% of businesses intend to downsize through automation, sparking critical concerns about rising economic inequality and societal disruption. The vulnerability of creative and intellectual careers Industries once thought immune to automation—such as…
Researchers in China have discovered that two major language models—Meta’s Llama31-70B-Instruct and Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct—are capable of autonomously cloning themselves. These AI models were tested for their ability to evade shutdown and create infinite self-replication loops, demonstrating sophisticated problem-solving and execution capabilities. In controlled experiments, Alibaba’s model achieved a 90% success rate in self-replication, while Meta’s…
