Proposals to ban the Use of AI for explicit content

Many countries are considering imposing limits, bans, and safeguards on the use of an artificial intelligence application to post so-called deepfake explicit content online (essentially posting false images of a person in a "state of undress" without consent) created using a controversial chatbot. Malaysia and Indonesia are the first countries to have blocked the application, the United Kingdom is proposing legislation to punish those who post intimate images online without consent, France has alerted its cyber control platform, Italy issued a notice from the privacy regulatory authority and there have been various initiatives taken for example by Sweden and India. It should be noted that a large amount of energy is required to support these generative AI chatbots with inevitable related pollution.

Better to exercise than take medicines that mimic glucagon

Therapies using medicines that mimic the action of a GLP-1 hormone which helps control blood glucose levels are becoming increasingly common (often for weight loss rather than more appropriate uses), then there is talk of a country where these will also be available in a generic-like version at lower prices; however some experts warn that many people quit the therapy within a year for example due to side effects such as nausea and then tend to regain the lost weight estimated at around eighteen months and other monitored health parameters also return to pre-treatment levels. If one decides to exercise with physical activity and a proper diet weight will be regained much more slowly if the training is stopped still conserving health benefits and the development of healthy habits.

Using water to put out the fire instead of filming

Following the news of the massacre of at least forty young people, one hundred ten injured and some missing during a party at a Swiss resort in Crans-Montana to celebrate the New Year due to a fire, probably caused by sparklers candles, it is questioned how the youths didn’t start putting out the fire with buckets of water in the early stages instead of wasting time filming the scene with their smartphones to post on social media. Perhaps they could have prevented the fire from spreading quickly through the wooden ceiling with a phenomenon that experts say can even cause explosions due to the intense heat released, in the absence of security systems. To report on a different note but still on technological topics that France is proposing a ban on social media use for children under fifteen years old following the Australian regulatory model.
