The other day I made a small post comparing Friston from Arknights to the Master of the Crypt from the manga version of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It's time for the sequel: the Seaborn and the Ohmu (again, huge spoilers for both series).
At the beginning I thought it was mostly surface similarities: all the insects from the Sea of Corruption share a hive mind and can feel the pain and suffering of their kin, caring about their own to the point that swarms of insects go into a frenzy and attack humans if they hurt any of them, which is enough to compare them with Seaborn on a very basic level, probably shared by many such creatures in fantasy and sci-fi. But as the story goes on, the Ohmu start sharing more and more points with the Seaborn's deeper lore.
Let's start with the big stuff: it's revealed that the Ohmu were created by the super-advanced science of the old world, and their main goal is to spread the Sea of Corruption, a huge forest able to purify all the poisons and toxins present in the very earth itself and over the course of millennia restore the post-apocalyptic planet of Nausicaä to an uncontaminated paradise. The way they do spread the Sea of Corruption is with their death: their carcasses become food for the fungi while also acting as the forest floor for the plants to take root, thus they are "eaten" by the fungi which are in turn "eaten" by the trees. Not only is this form of progression and proliferation of life through consumption very Seaborn-core, the end result resembles what we see in the 4th Ending for Mizuki & Caerula Arbor.
While not as bad as the world of Nausicaä, a major component of Arknights' wordbuilding is that Terra is overall a very inhospitable place to mankind, plagued by catastrophes and the never-ending threat of Originium corrupting everything and everyone it touches. Yet the sea not only resists its powers (fun fact: the titular Valley of the Wind is also said to be safe from the toxins due to the clean winds coming from the sea), the Seaborn have been shown to be capable of completely neutralizing it, which is a big deal since finding a cure for Oripathy is Rhodes Island's ultimate objective. And in the hypothetical ending where the Seaborn expand their dominion to the land, forcing humanity to live isolated and secluded to escape them (just like in Nausicaä), at the end of their evolutionary cycle they heal the entire world, just like the Sea of Corruption aims to do, leaving a paradise for the remnants of humanity to live in. In both cases it's at the same time a symbol of "nature" (with all the good and bad it entails for the human race) prevailing on the technology that had doomed the world and a sign of hope for the remnants of civilization that reached a good ending after so many years of suffering and resisting.
But even without delving into the hypotheticals of IS3, a thematic connection can be seen as soon as Stultifera Navis. Despite its more antagonistic nature, the Church of the Deep shares a similarity with the Forest People who chose to live amidst the Sea of Corruption and renounced civilization, with the insects seemingly extending their concept of kinship to them, even allowing the Forest People to eat some of their eggs to survive; the same way in which the Seaborn allow humans to become their kin, going as far as letting themselves or parts of themselves be eaten by them. Nausicaä herself, despite being a kind person with endless love and compassion for her fellow humans, feels extremely close to the Ohmu and is able to communicate with them, seeing them as nobler than mankind. Which is understandable, considering that despite the hostility of the earth itself, the world she lives in is still plagued by wars and all the violence humans insist on inflicting on each other, with the foolishness of war being a core theme of the manga. And not only does Arknights share the same message, it's very likely the reason why Amaia chose to side with the Seaborn, and in general why so many humans side with them: in the sea there are no boundaries, no nations, no classes, no categories. The level of kinship acquired by the Seaborn is something mankind envies, no matter how much of a danger they pose to us, and indeed forming some kind of instinctual hive mind or deeper connection between individuals in order to stop such conflicts is a desire that has manifested in Arknights in many forms, ranging from Dorothy's Transmitter to the Law of Laterano to the Black Crown, and is also Arturia's ultimate objective.
TL;DR I want to see how someone like Nausicaä would choose to interact with the Seaborn, since they're a much more active threat to humans compared to the Ohmu despite sharing so many things with them.

I COULDN’T HELP BUT WONDER…
How the Hell Did Dating Become So Dump-Friendly?
An essay by Nery Sommers
Introduction
Dating in the 21st century has undergone a significant transformation. The traditional dynamics of romance have given way to a more casual, disposable approach, leaving many to wonder how and why dating has become so dump-friendly. In this essay, we will explore the factors contributing to this shift, including the rise of dating apps, changing societal values, and the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships.
The Rise of Dating Apps
One of the key factors responsible for the shift towards dump-friendly dating is the proliferation of dating apps. The advent of technology and the accessibility of smartphones have made it easier than ever to connect with potential partners. While this convenience can be a blessing, it also encourages a disposable attitude towards dating. Users can quickly swipe through profiles, discard matches that don't meet their immediate expectations, and move on to the next without investing much time or effort.
The "Paradox of Choice"
Psychologist Barry Schwartz coined the term "paradox of choice" to describe the overwhelming impact of having too many options. Dating apps offer a plethora of potential partners, but this abundance often leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and an endless quest for someone better. In this quest, people are more likely to give up on a current partner or connection, leading to a dump-friendly culture where it's easy to walk away in search of an elusive "perfect" match.
Changing Societal Values
The values and expectations surrounding dating have also evolved over time. In the past, relationships were often approached with the intention of finding a lifelong partner. Today, the emphasis has shifted towards personal fulfillment and self-discovery. People are more likely to enter relationships with the attitude of "I'm in it for myself" rather than "I'm in it for us." This self-centered approach can make it easier to end relationships when they no longer serve one's immediate needs.
Commitment Phobia
Commitment phobia has become more prevalent in modern dating. The fear of settling down and the allure of endless possibilities drive individuals to keep their options open, leading to a lack of commitment in relationships. This commitment-averse mindset contributes to the dump-friendly nature of modern dating, as people are less inclined to work through challenges and instead opt for an easier way out.
The Impact of Technology
The role of technology in shaping dump-friendly dating cannot be overstated. Online communication, which often lacks the depth and intimacy of face-to-face interactions, has made it easier to disconnect and break up with someone through a text message or a few clicks. This depersonalized approach further desensitizes individuals to the emotional consequences of ending a relationship.
Conclusion
The evolution of dating into a dump-friendly culture is the result of a complex interplay of factors, including the rise of dating apps, changing societal values, the paradox of choice, commitment phobia, and the impact of technology. While modern dating offers many conveniences, it also comes with a challenge: balancing the pursuit of personal fulfillment with the ability to build meaningful, lasting connections. Understanding these factors can help individuals navigate the dating world more consciously and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

“While disinformation, fake news, and propaganda have been around since the beginning of time, today, new technologies are helping it proliferate online, often drowning out responsible voices. Nowhere is this truer than in Ukraine.
Bot technology, which was developed in the earliest years of the internet, has more recently been put to nefarious uses. Unscrupulous actors are using social media algorithms to raise the popularity of particular kinds of inflammatory content and to spread propaganda.
For more than a decade, former Soviet bloc countries have played an important and disturbing role in developing bot and troll farms. Russian and pro-Russian Ukrainians, many working for the Russian Federal Security Service, have launched well-functioning bot factories, creating chaos, distractions, anger, and fear via numerous disinformation streams that now pose an integral challenge everywhere, in countries as different as Venezuela, Colombia, the United States, and the U.K. - not just in Ukraine.
This is how it works. We are spending more and more time online, reading posts, watching videos, and consuming more information than ever. We share them with our friends and tweet about them. Many people rely on social media for all their news. In this way we have created entirely new information ecosystems outside the traditional systems that include fact-checking procedures.
Bots pretend to be a person online. They take advantage of our already established social media networks and spread like wildfire on them, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and instant messaging apps. The messages they push out are simple, precise, unambiguous, and convey a single thought. They are calibrated to produce the strongest emotions possible and elicit fear and confusion, creating havoc and causing considerable psychic damage to each of us, our loved ones, and people all over our country.
After Zelenskyy became president, it didn’t take long for him to understand how dangerous these bot farms are and the peril they posed to Ukraine: “These are the challenges of today, and we must be prepared for them,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine in February 2020. “In Ukraine, this is now a real business, a very serious business. Bot farms are a problem, whatever they are: for white or black, there is no difference. Because those who stand up for good, such as Ukraine’s independence, in social media today may be against it tomorrow. Therefore, we must fight against such things. For the independence of the country, the independence of the individual, human rights must be fought in any way.”
At that moment, Zelenskyy was speaking more broadly, meaning that not only Ukrainians but the whole world must learn to distinguish the line where freedom of speech ends and disinformation begins. To me, it seemed a very crucial point, because if we cannot decide on what is allowed on social media now, we will be unable to deal with even greater challenges in the future.
Bot farms were used to supplement and reinforce the methods used on the oligarch-owned television networks. They helped amplify the message of pro-Russian puppets brought to power by Moscow in different countries, influencing their politics and media. For Russia, the internet has been an important source of contemporary propaganda, and its use of the internet is analogous to the methods the Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebels developed in the 1930s on the radio and in newspapers. As he once said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Nonsense remains nonsense in the singular. But when someone sends hundreds and thousands of nonsensical posts and commentaries to people’s phones and computer screens, people begin to believe what they see.
Here is but one outrageous example in Ukrainian media: to undermine government land reform policies, an endless number of absurd stories appeared about Chinese people digging up and shipping out the famously fertile Ukrainian soil. The usual chauvinistic and racist Russian-style propaganda outlets promulgated and published these stories. Their purpose was to create doubt about these needed land reform measures – such as lifting the moratorium on the sale of Ukraine’s agricultural land and investing in irrigation systems – which would help rid the agricultural sector of fraud and abuse and boost Ukraine’s economy. In the same vein, other stories trumpeted that Zelenskyy was a pro-Russian president or controlled by oligarchs – anything that could undermine people’s trust in him. By repeating such garbage over and over again, some were seeking political dividends. This fake news contributed to an oppressive political atmosphere and increased Ukrainians’ disenchantment with their institutions.”

Google's true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance
https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-research-grants-for-mass-surveillance
I thought I'd remind people of this old article from 2017 on the CIA/NSA origins of Google and how it was specifically designed to make the tracking and surveiling of internet users as easy as possible.
From its very inception, the programs and capabilities that make Google such a powerful search engine were created using CIA/NSA research funds passed along through unclassified NSF (National Science Foundation) grants to develop the technologies necessary to closely track American citizens and foreign users of the internet. Even the internet itself was created as part of a DARPA research program.
So should it come as a surprise to anyone that Google is filled with US and NATO propaganda today? Now I know that's not what this article is specifically referring to, however I think it's a continuation of the same kind of processes for surveillance and information space control between tech giants like Google and the CIA.
An example of what I mean would be any attempts search Google about its record of displaying Western propaganda. You can make the search as specific as possible, specifically referencing US and NATO propaganda or even specific incidents, but your search results will always display endless articles about how Google is supposedly filled with Chinese and Russian propaganda. No mention at all of US or NATO propaganda, even though I can name probably a dozen or so articles I've read over the years about just that. None of them show. Just the articles about how Chinese and Russian propaganda are proliferating online.
Yet, when I search for any kind of contested incidents where it's generally accepted that no one knows whether the incident was caused by Russia or the US, only the articles with the US Govt narrative will show. Again, even though I know of at least a few specific English-language articles about the issue from the Russian perspective. Those articles cannot be found in a simple search and I must go to the source site to find the articles. Only the US government narrative shows on Google.
And you can repeat this pattern for various contentious issues where the US Govt's propaganda dominates search engines like Google and alternative views must be sought directly from their source sites.
So it should come as no surprise that Google itself was created thanks to CIA/NSA grants passed along through the NSF. Similar to how the CIA/NSA passes along grants to promote Western Propaganda outlets in foreign countries using the National Endowment For Democracy or the NED.

How AI Is Used in Business - B.Tech at Arya College
Companies across industries are loaded with information, so it’s challenging to gain insights from the deluge of knowledge into actionable intelligence. That is where the applications of artificial intelligence in business comes into the picture. This intelligence drives major and minor industries by providing students of top engineering colleges in Jaipur with the leverage to experiment with new concepts that cater to what the market wants.
There are several areas where Artificial Intelligence in business is being applied including personalised apps, security applications or more popular applications in data analytics within recent times. The opportunities are endless given that businesses and institutions are capturing an increasing amount of data across their processes, due to the proliferation of data across the globe.
Different types of analytics
There are four major applications of data analytics, which can be classified as follows:
1. Prediction - Predictive analytics uses machine learning algorithms to sift through the data obtained to predict potential outcomes. Predicting the price of a stock in the stock market based on the growth, profits, news etc. are interesting examples.
2. Prescription - Given a set of conditions, the algorithms give the best set of decisions that can be taken. The efficacy of these algorithms depends on the quality of the data obtained.
Popular apps that offer medical advice to the students of engineering colleges on the basis of the patient’s inputs is a relevant example. The outcome of these apps is a list of possible illnesses based on the symptoms, with recommendations and precautions to avoid the illness becoming worse.
3. Diagnosis - Identification of the problem at hand is crucial for many companies. In the instance of profit margins spiraling down for a company, they will need a thorough analysis of their operations, sales and marketing data to understand the factors that are influencing the decline so that the company can take steps to correct it.
4. Description - Describing the current market scenario, for instance, is an example of the same. Sentiment analysis gives information about the tonality and image of a company in the market. Finding the factors that lead to the right positioning and marketing is done through descriptive algorithms.
How will AI affect business outcomes?
The impact of Artificial Intelligence in business has immense potential, but there is still a long way to go. Traditional business analytics requires high IT involvement as businesses
generate a large number of data points. It is tough for a common man to navigate through a large number of data points. With AI-driven analytics, businesses can automate data preparation and reveal hidden patterns through sensible data discovery and interactive
exploration. These technologies are enabling businesses to foresee outcomes, thus letting students of BTech colleges act at the right instant when the opportunity strikes.
Instances of AI applications in business
There are various emerging companies that offer data analytics and AI services for a nominal amount. They enhance the company’s business prospects by identifying key areas of action.
The user interface and the natural language capabilities of these systems improve the ease with which managers in companies can leverage large amounts of data. The scope of Artificial Intelligence in business has the potential to be vastly impactful. Results obtained are simplified and additional personalized insights and necessary set of actions and recommendations are captured. Users utilize the services by searching through keywords in the form of queries.
How far has machine learning come?
In development for several years, machine-learning algorithms will “learn” over time through the increasing volume of data input, developing the flexibility to detect hidden patterns and generate predictions. Machine learning is associated with the trial and error-driven sub-field of AI with roots in applied mathematical modelling. When students of best engineering colleges in Jaipur try to intellectually code a real-time system, the complexity with which the world works is way beyond the level that we as humans can conceptualize and convert into a logical set of statements. Therefore, it permits systems to find out and improve following prolonged exposure to information while not being programmed explicitly.
What technologies are propping up the rise of AI and ML?
The role of IoT and 5G is going to be huge, as the process of data collection is going to grow both in terms of speed and size. 5G is being prepared to be ML ready and thus high bandwidth interfaces allow the handling of large ML model execution and thus lead to real-time analytics accessible from the simplest of an internet-connected edge device. Companies with more than 100 years’ worth of data which is well documented in the form of papers, can utilize the services that autonomous analytics systems provide. It is ideal for non-technical industries to invest in such services as there is no up-front cost, and neither do they have to employ anyone to do the same. The existing employees can use these interfaces and come up with insights.
How can companies leverage AI?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach for applying artificial intelligence in business. Formulate a holistic and long-term data strategy, not just a tactical road map for disparate projects. Doing so requires an assessment of business objectives along with a clear definition of success criteria and the data maturity of the enterprise. Students of private engineering colleges in Jaipur must evaluate such variables as existing legacy applications, workload placement, agility and time to market, security, compliance, capacity, legal/regulatory requirements, workforce skills, and maturity of offerings from cloud solutions providers. Identify use cases with a high return on investment that are tied to business goals and objectives, which will help demonstrate initial proof points and benefits. An important part of this exercise is to identify the foundational data that will drive such use cases.

The Rise of Sports Betting and Virtual Casinos in South Sudan
In recent years, South Sudan has witnessed a significant transformation in the realm of entertainment and leisure, particularly with the emergence of sports betting and virtual casinos. This burgeoning industry has not only revolutionized the way South Sudanese engage with sports and gaming but has also contributed to the socio-economic landscape by fostering a new form of entertainment and providing potential revenue streams. The adoption of digital platforms has facilitated this growth, making it easier for locals and foreigners alike to partake in gambling activities from the comfort of their homes or on the go.
The allure of sports betting and virtual casinos in South Sudan lies in their convenience and accessibility. With just a few clicks, enthusiasts can dive into a world of endless betting possibilities or immerse themselves in virtual casino games that range from slots and poker to blackjack and roulette. The integration of advanced technology and high-quality graphics has recreated the authentic casino experience, making it appealing to both seasoned gamblers and novices. As a result, these platforms have seen a surge in users, looking to test their luck or enjoy a modern form of entertainment.
The proliferation of sports betting and virtual casinos has also been driven by the global trend towards online gambling, coupled with South Sudan's growing internet penetration. Mobile technology, in particular, has played a crucial role in this expansion, allowing users to access betting services and virtual casino games through smartphones and tablets. This ease of access has opened up the gambling industry to a broader audience, making it a popular pastime among the youth and contributing to its rapid growth in the country.
The Legality of Sports Betting and Virtual Casinos in South Sudan
Navigating the legal landscape of sports betting and virtual casinos in South Sudan can be complex, given the country's evolving regulatory framework. As a relatively new nation, South Sudan is in the process of establishing and refining its laws regarding gambling and online activities. Currently, the legality of sports betting and virtual casinos operates in a somewhat gray area, with regulations being developed to address this modern sector.
The government of South Sudan recognizes the potential economic benefits of a regulated gambling industry, including job creation, tourism attraction, and increased revenue. Therefore, efforts are being made to create a legal framework that can accommodate the growth of sports betting and virtual casinos while ensuring responsible gambling practices. This includes setting age restrictions, licensing requirements for operators, and measures to prevent problem gambling among citizens.
For operators and participants alike, it is crucial to stay informed about the latest legal developments in South Sudan's gambling sector. Engaging in sports betting and virtual casino activities through licensed platforms is advisable to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, it is expected that clearer guidelines and robust regulatory mechanisms will be established to support the sustainable growth of the gambling industry in South Sudan.
Understanding the Basics of Sports Betting
For those new to the world of gambling, understanding the basics of sports betting is essential before diving in. Sports betting involves placing a wager on the outcome of a sports event, with the possibility of winning money if the prediction comes true. It's not only about luck but also requires a fair amount of strategy, knowledge of the sport, and analytical skills.
The first step in sports betting is to familiarize yourself with the odds, which represent the probability of an event occurring. Odds determine the potential return on a bet and can vary significantly across different betting platforms. They are usually presented in fractional, decimal, or American formats, each providing the same information in a different style. Understanding how to read and interpret these odds is crucial for making informed betting decisions.
Another fundamental aspect of sports betting is knowing the different types of bets available. From simple wagers like 'win or lose' to more complex bets involving specific scores or events during a game, the variety is vast. Each type of bet comes with its own set of rules and ways to win, making it important for bettors to explore and understand these options to increase their chances of success.
Exploring Different Types of Sports Bets
Sports betting offers a wide array of wagering options, each with its unique appeal and level of complexity. The most common type of bet is the straight bet, also known as a win bet, where you simply bet on the outcome of a game or event. If the team or individual you bet on wins, you win your bet.
Beyond straight bets, there are several other types of sports bets that offer different ways to engage with the games and potentially win money. Parlays, for example, involve combining two or more picks into a single bet, requiring all selections to win for the bet to pay off. While parlays offer higher payouts due to their increased risk, they are a popular choice for those looking for bigger rewards.
Other popular types include prop bets, which are wagers on specific events or outcomes within a game that do not necessarily relate to the final score. Futures bets involve predicting the outcome of a championship, series, or award long before the event concludes. Each type of bet provides a different way to experience the excitement of sports betting, catering to a wide range of interests and strategies.
Tips for Successful Sports Betting
Succeeding in sports betting requires more than just luck; it demands a strategic approach, discipline, and an ongoing willingness to learn. One of the most crucial tips for bettors is to manage their bankroll wisely. Setting a budget and sticking to it prevents the risk of significant financial losses and ensures a more enjoyable betting experience.
Another key strategy is to specialize in specific sports or leagues, allowing bettors to gain in-depth knowledge and insights that can inform their betting decisions. Understanding team dynamics, player conditions, and other relevant factors can provide an edge over the bookmakers.
Lastly, successful bettors understand the importance of shopping for the best odds. Different bookmakers offer varying odds for the same events, and finding the most favorable terms can significantly impact your returns over time. Combining these strategies with patience and a clear understanding of the risks involved sets the foundation for a potentially rewarding sports betting experience.
In conclusion, the world of sports betting and virtual casinos in South Sudan offers an exciting and dynamic arena for those looking to engage in gambling activities. From understanding the legal landscape to mastering the basics of sports betting, there is much to explore and learn. By approaching sports betting with strategy, knowledge, and responsible gambling practices, enthusiasts can fully enjoy the thrill of the game and the excitement of winning big.

Economic Impact and Revenue Generation
The economic implications of streaming platforms in the Asian gaming market are substantial. Streamers generate revenue through various means, including advertisements, subscriptions, and viewer donations. Successful streamers often enter into lucrative sponsorship deals and partnerships with game developers and brands, further monetizing their influence. Moreover, the rise of professional streamers and esports athletes has created new career opportunities in the gaming industry. This professionalization of gaming has contributed to the overall growth and sophistication of the video game market in Asia.Â
Cultural Shifts and Entertainment Evolution
Streaming platforms have not only influenced the market but also instigated significant cultural shifts within the gaming community. Streamers have attained celebrity status, with top personalities boasting millions of followers. This phenomenon has transformed gaming from a solitary activity into a spectator sport and a form of mainstream entertainment. The integration of streaming and esports has further blurred the lines between gaming and traditional sports.

Additionally, innovations in streaming software and mobile streaming capabilities have democratized content creation, allowing anyone with a smartphone to become a streamer.Â
Challenges and Controversies
Despite the numerous benefits, streaming platforms in Asia face several challenges. Regulatory scrutiny and censorship are significant issues, particularly in markets like China, where content is closely monitored. Streaming platforms must navigate these regulations while ensuring compliance and maintaining user engagement. Content moderation is another critical challenge, as platforms must manage inappropriate content and toxic behavior to create a safe and welcoming environment for all users. The mental health of streamers, often subjected to the pressures of maintaining a constant online presence, is also a growing concern.
Future Trends and Predictions
Looking ahead, interactive streaming and virtual reality (VR) streaming are poised to revolutionize the gaming landscape further. Interactive features that allow viewers to influence gameplay and real-time engagement are gaining traction, offering a more immersive experience. VR streaming, though still in its early stages, holds immense potential for creating highly engaging and immersive content.

Designing for Emerging Technologies: The Internet of Things
The world is rapidly evolving, and technology is at the forefront of this transformation. One of the most promising and revolutionary advancements is the Internet of Things (IoT). This interconnected network of devices, sensors, and systems is reshaping the way we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. As designers, we have a pivotal role to play in shaping this emerging technology, ensuring it enhances our lives while adhering to principles of usability, accessibility, and sustainability.
Understanding the IoT Ecosystem
The Internet of Things is a vast and complex ecosystem, encompassing various technologies and applications.

Transparent data policies, granular user controls, and clear communication about data collection and usage are essential for building trust with end-users. Additionally, designing for security by default, incorporating encryption and authentication mechanisms, can mitigate the risk of cyber threats and data breaches.
Fostering Interoperability and Open Standards
The true potential of the IoT lies in its ability to connect diverse devices and systems, enabling seamless data exchange and collaboration. However, proprietary standards and closed ecosystems can hinder this interoperability, leading to fragmentation and compatibility issues.
As designers, we must advocate for open standards and interoperability, ensuring that our solutions can integrate with existing and future technologies. Embracing open-source platforms and APIs can facilitate collaboration and foster innovation within the IoT community.
Sustainable and Ethical Design
The Internet of Things has the potential to significantly impact our environment and society. As designers, we have a responsibility to consider the ecological and ethical implications of our creations.
Incorporating principles of sustainability, such as energy efficiency, resource optimization, and responsible material sourcing, can reduce the environmental footprint of IoT devices and systems. Additionally, addressing issues of digital inequality, accessibility, and inclusivity can ensure that the benefits of the IoT are distributed equitably across diverse user groups.
Collaboration and Co-creation
Designing for the Internet of Things is a multidisciplinary endeavor, requiring collaboration between designers, engineers, developers, and domain experts. Fostering a culture of co-creation, where stakeholders from different backgrounds contribute their expertise, can lead to more innovative and user-centric solutions.
Moreover, involving end-users throughout the design process through participatory design methods can provide valuable insights and ensure that the resulting products and services truly meet their needs and expectations.
Embracing a Future-Proof Mindset
The rapid pace of technological change means that the IoT landscape is constantly evolving. As designers, we must embrace a future-proof mindset, anticipating and adapting to emerging trends and technologies.
Designing for scalability, modularity, and flexibility can ensure that our solutions can accommodate future advancements and remain relevant in a constantly changing landscape. Continuously learning and staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the IoT domain is essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
Conclusion
The Internet of Things is a transformative force, reshaping our world in profound ways. As designers, we have the unique opportunity to shape this revolution, creating experiences that seamlessly blend technology into our daily lives. By embracing a user-centric approach, prioritizing privacy and security, fostering interoperability, and adhering to principles of sustainability and ethics, we can unlock the full potential of the IoT while ensuring it benefits society as a whole.
Designing for emerging technologies like the Internet of Things is a challenge, but it is also an exciting frontier that demands our creativity, innovation, and commitment to creating a better future. Embrace this opportunity, and let's shape the connected world of tomorrow together.

OpenAI's Sora: Exploring Societal Impact and Ethical Considerations
OpenAI recently announced their newest AI creation, Sora, a cutting-edge system that brings text prompts to life through short videos. While Sora isn't yet available to the public, the sneak peeks of its capabilities have sparked excitement.
The sample videos shared by OpenAI, directly generated by Sora, showcase its remarkable abilities. What's truly fascinating is how these videos, with their lifelike textures, dynamic scenes, and smooth camera movements, can easily pass off as human-made creations at first glance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, even shared some user-requested prompts on social media, demonstrating Sora's versatility and creativity firsthand.
Overall, Sora's debut has left us eagerly anticipating its future impact and the endless possibilities it holds for transforming our digital experiences.
How Does Sora Operate?
Sora operates through a unique approach called a "diffusion transformer model", combining elements from text and image generating tools. This model is based on transformers, a type of neural network introduced by Google in 2017 and commonly used in language models like ChatGPT.
Unlike traditional diffusion models employed in AI image generators, Sora introduces a twist by utilizing the transformer architecture to establish connections between frames in a video. Instead of analyzing text tokens, Sora focuses on tokens representing small patches of space and time, allowing it to create a coherent and consistent narrative throughout the video sequence.
Effect on Relevant Industries
Media and Journalism
Sora's ability to generate realistic videos from text prompts could challenge traditional journalism ethics by blurring the lines between authentic footage and manipulated content. This may lead to increased scrutiny and skepticism towards video-based news reporting.
Entertainment
Sora has the potential to revolutionize the entertainment industry by offering new tools for content creation and storytelling. However, it could also raise ethical concerns regarding the authenticity of video content, especially in areas like documentaries and historical reenactments.
Advertising and Marketing
Sora could assist marketers with innovative ways to create engaging video content for advertising campaigns. However, it may also contribute to the proliferation of deceptive advertising practices through the creation of hyper-realistic but fabricated videos.
Legal and Justice Systems
The emergence of Sora and similar technologies may pose challenges to the legal system, particularly in terms of authenticating video evidence and identifying deep-fake content. This could impact legal proceedings and the administration of justice.
Creative Industries
Sora's potential to generate high-quality videos from text prompts could impact various creative industries, including filmmaking, animation, and visual effects. It may offer new opportunities for content creation but also raise concerns about intellectual property rights and the originality of generated content.
Societal Risks and Ethical ConcernsÂ
The emergence of tools like Sora raises significant societal and ethical concerns. In a world already grappling with the spread of disinformation, these tools have the potential to exacerbate the problem.
The ability to produce realistic videos based on text descriptions could be exploited to disseminate convincing fake news or cast doubt on authentic footage. This could have far-reaching consequences, from undermining public health measures and influencing elections to burdening the justice system with fabricated evidence. Moreover, the creation of deep fake videos, especially of a pornographic nature, poses direct threats to targeted individuals and their families, potentially leading to severe repercussions.
In addition to these risks, there are also issues surrounding copyright and intellectual property. Generative AI tools like Sora require vast amounts of data for training, and the source of Sora's training data has not been disclosed by OpenAI. This lack of transparency has raised concerns about potential misuse of copyrighted materials.
Similar concerns have been raised about large language models and image generators, leading to legal action in some cases. Despite these challenges, the rapid advancement of technology often outpaces regulatory frameworks. While OpenAI has announced safety measures for Sora, including collaboration with experts in misinformation and the development of tools to detect misleading content, the broader ethical implications of such technologies remain a subject of ongoing debate and concern.
In short, OpenAI's Sora introduces revolutionary technology that generates realistic videos from text prompts, sparking excitement across industries. While it promises innovation, its emergence also raises significant ethical concerns regarding disinformation, authenticity, and copyright. As Sora prepares for public availability, it emphasizes the importance of responsible AI development and regulation.

Advertising Opportunities Explode as Streaming Services Surge
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, the rise of streaming services has completely revolutionized the way we consume content. From binge-watching our favorite shows to discovering new music, streaming platforms have become an integral part of our daily lives. But beyond entertainment, the streaming boom has also opened up a world of exciting opportunities for advertisers looking to connect with their target audiences in more meaningful ways.
The Streaming Revolution
Streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ have experienced exponential growth in recent years, with millions of subscribers worldwide. This surge in popularity can be attributed to several factors, including the convenience of on-demand content, the proliferation of smart devices, and the increasing availability of high-speed internet connections.
As consumers continue to cut the cord and move away from traditional cable TV, advertisers are following suit, shifting their advertising dollars to digital platforms where audiences are spending the majority of their time. This shift has created a goldmine of advertising opportunities for brands looking to reach consumers in the streaming era.
Targeted Advertising
One of the most significant advantages of advertising on streaming platforms is the ability to target specific audiences with precision. Unlike traditional TV advertising, which relies on broad demographic data, streaming services collect a wealth of user data, including viewing preferences, search history, and even location data.
This wealth of data allows advertisers to create highly targeted ad campaigns that resonate with their target audience on a personal level. Whether it's serving ads based on a viewer's favourite genre or recommending products based on their recent searches, targeted advertising on streaming platforms ensures that brands are reaching the right people at the right time.
Interactive Ad Formats
In addition to targeted advertising, streaming platforms also offer a variety of interactive ad formats that engage viewers in more immersive ways. From interactive overlays to shoppable ads, these innovative formats allow brands to create interactive experiences that capture the viewer's attention and drive engagement.
For example, a cosmetics brand could create a shoppable ad that allows viewers to browse and purchase products directly from the streaming platform, without ever leaving the app. Similarly, a car manufacturer could use interactive overlays to allow viewers to explore different features of a new vehicle or schedule a test drive.
Data-Driven Insights
Another benefit of advertising on streaming platforms is the wealth of data-driven insights that advertisers can access to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns. Streaming services provide advertisers with detailed analytics and reporting tools that track key metrics such as impressions, clicks, and conversions in real-time.
These insights allow advertisers to optimize their campaigns on the fly, making adjustments based on what's working and what's not. Whether it's tweaking targeting parameters, adjusting creative elements, or reallocating budget to top-performing channels, data-driven insights empower advertisers to maximize the ROI of their streaming ad campaigns.
The Future of Streaming Advertising
As streaming services continue to evolve and innovate, the future of advertising in the streaming era looks brighter than ever. With advancements in technology such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and programmatic advertising, advertisers have an unprecedented opportunity to create personalized, interactive ad experiences that captivate audiences and drive results.
From personalized recommendations to immersive brand experiences, the possibilities for advertising on streaming platforms are endless. As brands continue to embrace the streaming revolution, we can expect to see even more creative and innovative advertising strategies that blur the lines between content and commerce, delivering value to both advertisers and viewers alike.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the surge in popularity of streaming services has created a wealth of exciting opportunities for advertisers looking to connect with their target audiences in more meaningful ways. With targeted advertising, interactive ad formats, data-driven insights, and advancements in technology, advertisers have the tools they need to create personalized, engaging ad experiences that drive results.
As streaming platforms continue to evolve and innovate, the future of advertising in the streaming era looks brighter than ever. By embracing the streaming revolution and staying ahead of the curve, advertisers can position themselves for success in this dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape. So let's ride the wave of streaming advertising and unlock the full potential of this exciting new frontier in digital marketing.
