There would be at least thirty victims in Beijing and eighty thousand people evacuated due to torrential rain and the resulting floods and landslides that have also affected areas in northern China, with about three hundred thousand people impacted by the bad weather; authorities who have sent rescue teams often forced to intervene even by swimming in streets turned into rivers have stated that the country is in a critical period for flooding. To report changing the subject but staying on natural topics that many buildings along the coast in Alexandria of Egypt are facing security issues due to the rising Mediterranean Sea; in fact, water is infiltrating under the foundations and eroding them to the point where they could collapse, some are already leaving their apartments due to structural movements, and it is estimated that about seven thousand buildings are unsafe.

Development times of general artificial intelligence

There will probably be robots capable of learning and equipped with general artificial intelligence (AGI) that can surpass biological intelligence in about five years although some say that the time needed to develop these humanoids will have to be extended, nevertheless it is clear that sooner or later human intelligence will have to compete with artificial intelligence and then will most likely succumb as happened with the game of chess, considering the difference between brute calculation and the actual thoughtful thinking. This is a disturbing event that raises the question of whether it will be possible to keep this type of "soulless" technology under control, and then there is the unknown of which ethics will guide these humanoids and in what direction. The competition among superpowers to develop this technological sector is another problem to be addressed.

Regarding Greece meteorologists say that the heat index has reached nearly fifty-two degrees Celsius in Halastra Thessaloniki in which is described as one of the most intense heatwaves in fifteen years, although if not the worst; recently, in a central street of Athens the temperature measured with an electronic device on the roof of a parked car exceeded one hundred and fifty degrees.

Regarding Greece still grappling with the same African high-pressure system resulting in a heatwave there are mentions of peaks exceeding forty-three degrees in Thessaly and according to weather forecasts temperatures tomorrow could be even warmer, while the sea is generally very warm and jellyfish are becoming a problem for bathers. To report shifting the attention to China that the storm "Wipha" characterized by strong gusts of wind is affecting the country.

Greater attention to false A.I. images

The misinformation spread by false images produced with generative artificial intelligence poses increasing risks at least as indicated by a recently presented report in Geneva which emphasizes how companies should equip themselves with advanced tools to identify them in addition to locating the false content associated with them. Once shared the risks multiply on social platforms making it practically impossible to put a stop to it; therefore, it is necessary to act at the outset with appropriate tools. Recently there has been a discussion about the news that programmers of a well-known application supported by generative artificial intelligence are "teaching the algorithm to lie" although this raises the question of whether a machine can have consciousness, some kind of ethics, and how to understand what the appropriate direction to take in computing might be.
