    Pakistani films struggle after Maula Jatt’s success

    The Pakistani filmà industry, which once thrived with creative storytelling and captivated audiences, is now facing tough times. It is struggling to recreate the magic of its golden era.

    Since the release of ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt,’ which earned over 121 crore at the box office and worldwide, it has earned 400 crore.

    There are some films like Money Back Guarantee, Daghabaaz Dil, and the recent releases Umro Ayyar, Na Baligh Afraad, and Abhi that have all made attempts to capture the audience’s attention and achieve similar financial success.

    However, none of these films have been able to surpass the 15-crore business locally.
    Films are usually released in Pakistan on Eid, when audiences are oomore inclined to visit cinemas. During theseotimes of high demand, producers and directors want to make the most money possible.

    The future of Pakistani cinema holds promise, but it requires continuous effort and innovation to achieve the same level of success.Fans are eagerly waiting for the next big hit that will break records and captivate audiences nationwide.

  • Godfather of AI resigns from Google, issues warning on dangers of AI development

    Godfather of AI resigns from Google, issues warning on dangers of AI development

    Geoffrey Hinton, known as “the Godfather of AI,” has spent most of his career promoting the benefits of artificial intelligence, but now he is concerned about its potential dangers. He recently spoke to the New York Times about his decision to leave Google, where he co-founded Google Brain, a research team developing AI systems, citing concerns about the difficulty of preventing bad actors from using the technology for malicious purposes. Hinton is not alone in his apprehension about AI’s future, as other AI pioneers have expressed similar concerns.

    One of Hinton’s primary concerns is the spread of misinformation enabled by AI, such as deepfakes and AI-generated fake news, which can confuse people and blur the lines between reality and fiction. He worries that people will no longer be able to distinguish what is true from what is not.

    Hinton is also concerned about the rapid pace of AI technology advancement, which has been fueled by competition among major tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He is worried that the technology will become more advanced than the human brain, something he once believed was decades away from happening.

    Now 75, Hinton is dedicating the rest of his life to ensuring that the technology he helped create won’t lead to the destruction of civilization. He acknowledges the possibility that others would have developed AI had he not done so, but he still feels a sense of responsibility to help mitigate the potential negative consequences of its use.

  • Four skills that are in super high demand in future workplaces

    Researchers have identified the four abilities that are most in demand in evolving workplaces by analysing hundreds of millions of recent job listings in the US.
    The report How Skills are Disrupting Work was developed in collaboration with the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF), education publisher Wiley, and the Burning Glass Institute.

    • Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)
    • Cloud computing.
    • Product management.
    • Social media.

    One of these skill sets was included as a necessity in one out of every eight job listings, according to the researchers.
    The report states that, “AI/ML, Cloud Computing, Product Management, and Social Media together exemplify skills disruption and serve as a laboratory for understanding the broader trend. The five-year growth rate for these four skill sets was 122% in 2021, compared with a 10% growth rate for the average skill over the same period.”

  • Wife steals frozen human bodies after fighting with husband

    Wife steals frozen human bodies after fighting with husband

    A woman raided her ex-husband’s cryogenics lab and stole frozen dead bodies and brains of people who paid thousands of pounds with hopes of being brought back to life in the future.

    As per reports, the incident happened in Moscow, Russia. The 59-year-old, Valeria Udalova, and staff of her company stole the remains of dead bodies that were stored in her ex-husband Danila Medevdev’s lab. Some of the corpses were from Britain and the US.

    They took out the liquid nitrogen from giant flasks containing frozen bodies and took them along with some detached brains.

    The cops managed to capture the cargo of human remains preserved by “Frankenstein” technology offering humans the chance to “come back to life” in the future.

    “The police could not catch Valeria. She took someone’s brain from the storage and escaped. The brains of our neuro-patients were kept separately, in special metal medical boxes,” Medvedev told the media.

    Both Medvedev and Udalova claim to be the legitimate owners of the human remains.

    The police is investigating the claims of both parties while demanding them to guarantee the “integrity” of the frozen human remains and bodies of dozens of cats and dogs.
