Hacking devices are great.

Here are hacker tools you should know.

They are awesome.

1. Wi-Fi Pineapple

A Wi-Fi Pineapple is a neat gadget. It helps tech pros examine Wi-Fi networks for problems and improve their security.

A details Video:

2. USB rubber Ducky

A USB Rubber Ducky appears as a USB flash drive but functions as a keyboard when connected to a computer. It's favored by penetration testers and can also be used for malicious purposes 😏

Lenindhasan, or Lenin– as he is called – and his friends, are trying to replace modern rice varieties and resist mono-cropping. Their plan is to restore lost diversity. And to germinate a rice revolution.

It's a different kind of revolution, led by another kind of Lenin.

Lenin cultivates 30 varieties of rice. He sells another 15 raised by fellow farmers. And he conserves 80 types of paddy seeds. All this, in his family’s six-acre farm in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvanamalai district.

It seems as if he’s been farming and selling paddy for decades. But it’s only been six years.

Before he became a farmer, Lenin was a corporate employee in Chennai, with two degrees and a good salary.

@rpancost @ScientistsX When bodies like the @gmcuk shirk their moral/ethical duty to support the outstanding integrity, compassion and courage of individuals like Sarah Benn in face of existential threats, eg Climate & Ecological Crisis, 6th Mass Extinction, The Genocide, they betray us and our world.

@rpancost @ScientistsX @gmcuk @TheBMA @TheLancet @democracynow @JustStop_Oil @DoctorsXr @XRebellionUK @PlanB_earth @DefendourJuries @ChrisGPackham @NASAClimate The history of Medicine has seen individuals so dedicated to the safety and well being of humanity that, at great personal risk for themselves, they have embarked on novel, untested courses that had potential to save the lives of millions. Sarah Benn is among such special people.

𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 - 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗜

The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) has released the Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2024. The 500-page report details and analyzes the global AI landscape and includes national strategies, global usage, publications, patents, funding, AI startups, and AI education.

Here are the main takeaways:

𝟭. 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗔𝗜 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: While AI surpasses humans in tasks like image classification and language understanding, it needs help with complex endeavors such as advanced mathematics and visual commonsense reasoning.

𝟮. 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: Industries spearheaded AI innovation, producing 51 major machine learning models in 2023, overshadowing academia's 15. Collaborations between industry and academia peaked, yielding 21 significant models.

𝟯. 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: The investment needed to train cutting-edge AI models has surged, with OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini Ultra requiring an estimated $78 million and $191 million, respectively, in computing expenses.

𝟰. 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: The United States maintains its leadership in AI development, producing 61 notable AI models in 2023, surpassing other regions significantly.

𝟱. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The absence of standardized evaluations for large language models (LLMs) complicates comparing risks and limitations across different AI systems.

𝟲. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Despite a general decrease in AI investments, funding for generative AI technologies skyrocketed to $25.2 billion in 2023, almost eight times the previous year's figure.

𝟳. 𝗔𝗜'𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: Studies in 2023 suggest that AI can boost worker productivity and output quality, though concerns about declining performance without proper oversight persist.

𝟴. 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: AI's role in scientific discovery accelerated, with new applications in 2023 improving processes from algorithmic sorting to materials discovery.

𝟵. 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The U.S. witnessed a significant increase in AI-related regulations, with 25 new rules introduced in 2023, marking a sharp rise over the past five years.

𝟭𝟬. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀: Global awareness and apprehension about AI's impact are growing, with more individuals expressing unease about AI technologies and their potential effects on daily life.

@BurkhartRj @LiamFox Why not go to Christina direct, though?

In terms of Christina's focus and passion, this is what Perplexity suggests.

…

Her subject is #UrbanRegen, and she has useful connections to Estonia, a useful gateway to Europe for the UK.

#ProjectBridgesperplexity.ai/search/On-Twit

@BurkhartRj @LiamFox So here's a suggestion.

Given Perplexity can make sense of our digital publications, we have done enough to make connectivity possible and easy with other folk in a network production setting.

Here, we can clearly say yes about Christina Zhang.

And likely Liam Fox.

@BurkhartRj @LiamFox Exploring that, a second prompt:



Here we see Dr Fox has interest in Foreign Trade, but also water conservation.

Note, please, @BurkhartRj , how different the engaging conversation needs to be.

Talking of marketing: research / listening are key.perplexity.ai/search/On-Twit…

This is on all of you

For selling Kenyans short in, during all your cumulative years as leaders.
the-star.co.ke/news/realtime/…

You have all been in leadership positions since 1999 when the Kenya Disaster Risk Mgmt draft bill was first tabled in Parliament months after the 7th Aug 1998 bomb blast that prompted it.
As redress to the legal framework gap existing.

In your deliberate ignorance after the fact you continue pretending not to understand disaster risk or do anything to
1. Improve public awareness of, and engagement on, disaster risks and impacts
2. Identify and address data, information and resource gaps.

Income Tax Slabs during Indira Gandhi Times :

For 10 lakhs income, Tax was 9.33 Lakhs
For 5 Lakhs income, the tax was 4.45 Lakhs

This means whatever you earn belongs to the govt.

This was the foundation of the Black money generation.

The average inflation rate during Indira Gandhi's 15-year tenure was 20%.

Bank Interest rates were 18%

That is how the Dynasty ruled.

That is why they installed just 16 GW of power in the first 30 years of rule. Everything got taxed including Radio.
No jobs after passing out.

People looked to get scholarships & go abroad.
7 years wait to get a scooter, telephone, gas, phone.

Licence Raj was bolstering Crony Capitalism.

Inequality was widening to highest level.

A bag of cement used to cost Rs 200/- at that time.

Those were the Days of the Dynasty

The reaction to both the developments in the Gib-Europe relationship and the proposal by the Commission for youth mobility with the UK is instructive.

It is the Swissification of the UK-Europe relationship.

As @chrisgreybrexit points out, the end of the Gib negotiations is the end of the first phase of Brexit, the A49 and negotiations begun prior to leaving have finished.

The new phase is Swissification.

@chrisgreybrexit By Swissification, I don't mean that the UK is going to become very rich and productive overnight.

Nor is the UK going to be able to replicate some of the key features of the CH relationship (which is suí generis)

tomorrow Sheryl Sandberg is releasing her "mass rape" hoax documentary. Her star witnesses are:

Shari Mendes
Simcha Greinman
Chaim Otmazgin
Rami Davidian

All claimed they saw "insertion of objects and genital mutilation". The UN, CBS News and Haaretz confirmed all of them lied

to be honest, when Sheryl Sandberg announced her documentary months ago when they unfurled the "mass rape" hoax propaganda campaign at the UN, where Simcha was also a star "witness", I thought they might have something. No. They have literally nothing

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1775356305248559218

you're actually going to push the maximalist version of the "mass rape" hoax with Simcha Greinman, Shari Mendes, all the Zaka hoaxers, "knives and nails in vaginas", then mix in Amit Soussana with that? But that just destroys everything. It exposed everything for the hoax it is

"The entire panic about SBI a racist conspiracy theory that originated from 4chan's neo-nazis and has been spread by ragebait youtubers & others who deemphasized the 'Jewish puppetmasters' part of the fakeass racist conspiracy theory."

"crybully tactics are a means for an aggressor to undermine self-defense. When someone who has a right to self-defense against a bully fights back, the crybully falsely portrays the people acting in defense as a bully. That's what happened here."

"You're not allowed to mask racist dogwhistles as fake criticism. That's not criticism. That's manipulating your audience and the conversation to legitimize racism"
