Speak to Meta’s AI chatbot if you’re concerned that artificial intelligence is becoming too intelligent. BlenderBot, a conversational AI prototype that was introduced on Friday, can communicate on almost any subject, according to Facebook’s parent company. The public is welcome to communicate with the tool and provide developers with feedback on the demo website. Buzzfeed and Vice journalists have noted that the preliminary results have been quite intriguing.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and one of the most popular public figures, has acknowledged having a secret Instagram account. Ironically, Musk has 102.9 million Twitter followers while only having 54 followers on his personal Instagram account. During a podcast interview with the NELK lads, Musk discussed a variety of topics, including aliens and his failed Twitter venture. When the debate finally turned to social media, Musk acknowledged having an Instagram account that is hidden from his Twitter followers.

I found myself taking a lot of selfies and sh*t and I’m like ‘what the f**k man? Why am I doing this?’ Then it was a thing of getting more likes and doing selfies,” explained Musk. The video showing Musk discussing his Instagram account was circulated on Twitter by a number of users. Musk corrected a Twitter user who claimed he had no followers on the social media platform and indicated that he actually has close to 54 followers.

Musk did, however, make it clear that he exclusively uses Twitter to interact with people. He claimed that having a single focused outlet makes things easier to be more effective. More\ than 102 million people follow Musk on Twitter at the moment.&nbsp;

It’s interesting to note that just a few days earlier, Musk was negotiating a $44 billion agreement to buy Twitter. However, just as he was about to seize control of the website, Musk withdrew. He said that the microblogging site obscured information about spam accounts. Twitter later sued Musk for abandoning the agreement. Musk recently challenged Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to a debate in front of the public about the platform’s fake accounts.

WATCH | Elon Musk has secret Instagram account with 54 followers, says it is 'next level thirst trap'

Tuesday saw the departure of two more grain-carrying ships from Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port as part of an agreement mediated by the UN and Turkey for opening the nation’s ports. With some of the world’s poorest nations, like Eritrea in Africa, as consumers, the arrangement, which has established a safe corridor, was intended to help with food shortages worldwide. However, corn, which is frequently used as animal feed or to make the biofuel ethanol, has so far made up the majority of exports. But,&nbsp;some problems still persist.

No shipment of wheat yet&nbsp;

The agreement established a secure maritime route for exports from three Ukrainian ports, and its first focus has been on clearing a path for ships that have been stranded in the war-torn nation since Russia’s incursion in February. Approximately 370,000 tonnes of agricultural products, primarily maize, but also tiny amounts of soybeans, sunflower oil, and sunflower meal, have been exported thus far. Wheat has not yet been delivered in any shipments. It will probably take until mid-September to transport the estimated three million tonnes of grain now in ports.

But, will it alleviate the food crisis?

To make a significant difference in the world’s supplies, even higher volumes will need to be supplied. In addition to the expected additional 20 million tonnes of wheat that will be harvested this year, Ukraine has approximately 20 million tonnes of grain stockpiled throughout the nation. Three million tonnes can be sent per month through the three ports engaged in the agreement—Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi—and some believe this level of exports might be reached in October. However, a significant number of ships will be required to convey such a vast amount of grain, and some shipowners may be reluctant to enter a war zone due to the hazard posed by mines and the high cost of insurance.

Sea&nbsp;mines are a threat

The numerous naval mines that are currently floating in the Black Sea are being blamed on both Russia and Ukraine. One crew member on the first ship, the Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni, listed this as his greatest dread. They pose a serious hazard, he said on Monday. Military diving teams from Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey have been defusing mines that have wound up in their waters as the mines have drifted far from the coasts of Ukraine. There was not enough time before the grains deal went into effect to clear them because it could take months to do so.

Need for insurance

The long-awaited rules on the shipping route, which are intended to allay worries held by insurers and shipowners, were released on Monday by the Istanbul-based Joint Coordination Centre, which administers the agreement and is composed of Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, and U.N. officials. Insurance companies had previously stated that they would be willing to offer coverage if plans were made for international navy escorts and a defined sea mine response plan.

Crew stuck in the conflict zone

Another issue will be finding enough sailors ready to man both ships calling at Ukrainian ports as well as ships stranded inside Ukrainian ports. Around 2,000 mariners from all over the world were trapped at Ukrainian ports at the beginning of the crisis; today, that figure is down to 450.

Can it slow down global food inflation?

By raising the cost of both grains and energy, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked an increase in food prices. Russia’s natural gas supplies to Europe have decreased, and pipeline equipment is to blame, along with Western sanctions. Leaders in the West have charged Moscow with blackmail. The cost of farming, transporting, processing, and packaging food increases when fuel prices rise. It is commonly expected that the price of grains and oilseeds will fall globally if the strategy to export grains is successful. Despite this, supplies are still scarce, and because the conflict has damaged agriculture, this year’s harvest in Ukraine will be lower than last. Even if the agreement holds, the World Food Programme has issued a warning that food prices will remain high.

Explainer: How to crease out Ukraine grain deal to ease global food crisis

The monkeypox outbreak in the country is plateauing, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), and its rate of spread has reduced. Although the most current data indicates the outbreak's spread has slowed, Dr Meera Chand, director of clinical and emerging infections at UKHSA, warned against complacency.

As of August 4, there were 2,859 confirmed and highly probable instances of monkeypox in the UK, with over 99% of the cases affecting men, according to a statement from the nation's health authority. In addition, the UKHSA's recent investigation revealed that "monkeypox continues to be transmitted primarily in interconnected sexual networks of gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men."

In June, British authorities advised that gay and bisexual males who were more likely to contract monkeypox should be provided with a vaccine since the viral disease had begun to spread, primarily in Europe. On Tuesday, the United States supported injecting a smaller amount of the vaccine in between layers of the skin in order to deliver up to five consecutive doses rather than a single dose. The vaccine was made to be administered beneath the skin, into a layer of fat.

The so-called "dose-sparing" strategy has been tested with other vaccines, such as those for polio and yellow fever, but there isn't enough data to say whether it will be effective for monkeypox. The smallpox vaccine is being given to people who are more likely to come into touch with monkeypox, according to Dr Chand.&nbsp;

Monkeypox was classified as a "public health emergency of international concern" earlier this month by the World Health Organization, the organization's highest degree of notice. On Thursday, the United States also declared monkeypox a public health emergency, following the WHO's lead.

UK monkeypox outbreak shows 'early signs' of plateauing, expansion has slowed

In order to shield students from "challenging" literature, universities have added trigger warnings to more than 1,000 titles and begun deleting others from reading lists. Ten universities, including three from the prestigious Russell Group, have either removed or made optional texts in case they hurt undergraduates, according to a study.

Affected texts include August Strindberg's timeless play Miss Julie and Colson Whitehead's 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Underground Railroad. Trigger warnings have been placed on the writings of authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, and Agatha Christie.

The Times made over 300 freedom of information requests to all 140 UK institutions inquiring about trigger warnings and text removal owing to content issues.&nbsp;

A reading list for an Essex University course has been "removed permanently" from The Underground Railroad due to its "graphic description of violence and abuse of slavery." However, a spokesperson emphasised that the book was still accessible through the library and will continue to be on future lists.

Additionally, Miss Julie has been "permanently withdrawn" from an undergraduate literature course at the University of Sussex because of its discussion of suicide. This decision was made in response to student complaints about the material's possible "psychological" and "emotional effects."&nbsp;

The investigation found 1,081 instances of trigger warnings on courses around the UK, including Russell Group members Warwick, Exeter, and Glasgow.

Students studying literature from the 18th and early 19th centuries may choose not to read The History of Mary Prince because it involves "racism, slavery and extreme violence," according to the University of Exeter's FOI answer. A spokeswoman said they are "encouraged to contact the convenor to discuss alternatives," but none had done so as of yet.

'Trigger warning' on Shakespeare's writing? Elite Russell group wants more than 1000 texts withdrawn

On Monday, Google was unavailable to thousands of users, according to the outage monitoring website Downdetector.com. According to Downdetector, which analyses outages by compiling status updates from various sources including user-submitted faults on its platform, there were over 40,000 cases of users reporting problems with the largest search engine in the world owned by Alphabet Inc.

People in Singapore, Australia, and the United Kingdom also reported having problems with Google, according to CNBC. Users posted screenshots of error messages, which caused it to temporarily become trending on Twitter. The Google servers were displaying the 502 error when a search was being done. "502.

Google server down for thousands of users, more than 40K issues reported

Leandro Lo, the world jiu-jitsu champion, was shot and killed in So Paulo in a crime that stunned Brazil. Dozens of kimono-clad mourners have gathered to pay their respects. The 33-year-old boxer, who was shot in the head at a nightclub in Brazil's largest city and is regarded as one of the finest competitors in the history of the sport and has won eight world championship championships, was declared dead on Sunday. Friends and admirers&nbsp;attended Lo's wake and funeral on Monday in a cemetery in the south of So Paulo, including celebrity chef Alex Atala.

Leandro's mother, Fátima Lo, paid tribute to him on social media, writing, “You made me feel like the most loved mum in the world … I will miss you forever.”

More than 40 jiu-jitsu practitioners swarmed a local police station on Sunday night to demand that the military policeman charged with killing Lo be prosecuted.

What really happened? 
 
After an incident at a concert featuring Grupo Pixote, one of Brazil's most well-known samba pop groups, the officer, Henrique Otavio Oliveira Velozo, reportedly shot the jiu-jitsu champion once in the face. The murder has caused widespread outrage and, for others, acted as a reminder of the country's recent trend toward increased hostility as well as a warning about the risks associated with the alarmingly high number of firearms being purchased.

Since far-right gun advocate Jair Bolsonaro became president of Brazil in 2019, the country's gun restrictions have been significantly loosened and gun ownership has skyrocketed, with more than a million firearms reportedly entering circulation. Social media posts indicate that the man suspected of killing Lo, who turned himself into police on Sunday night, was a die-hard gun enthusiast.

Brazil: Outrage after world jiu-jitsu champion Leandro Lo shot dead by cop

IN PICS | Surfing dogs take to waves at World Dog Surfing Championship in California

In a highly contested election pitting Deputy President William Ruto against veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga, millions of Kenyans will cast their votes for a new president on Tuesday. Due to term limits, President Uhuru Kenyatta is not running, but he supports Odinga. There will also be elections for lawmakers and national leaders. Odinga led by 6–8 points in the final four surveys released last week, but Ruto rejected them as false and intended to manipulate the public.

What is at stake?

Kenya, one of the continent's most developed nations, houses the regional headquarters of multinational corporations like Alphabet and Visa and serves as a commercial gateway for East and Central Africa. Some of the most frequently traded assets on the continent by foreign investors include its equities, bonds, and shilling currency. Several election-related flashpoints are on the minds of investors. More than 1,200 people were killed after the 2007 election as a result of recent outbreaks of deadly violence.

The overall picture appears to be difficult: as an energy importer, Kenya has been hit hard by the rise in crude oil prices. Kenya's borrowing costs are growing, similar to those of other developing nations, as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other important central banks raise interest rates to curb inflation. The premium that investors demand Kenya's hard-currency debt over safe-haven U.S. Treasuries has decreased from over 1,400 basis points in mid-July, but it is still above 1,000 bps, which is considered to be dangerous.

What are the markets looking at?

Fiscal accounts, the balance of payments, and central bank reserves are being attentively examined by the markets. Kenya's financial situation has long been a source of vulnerability due to its current account and fiscal deficits. A strong partnership with the International Monetary Fund was essential, according to Societe Generale's emerging market strategist Gergely Urmossy, who claimed that Kenya could regain full access to global financial markets with a convincing plan.

Difference between Odinga and Ruto

The two leading candidates have made varying commitments about important policy concerns like addressing financial problems, creating jobs, and social expenditures. Odinga has promised to renegotiate debt arrangements in order to extend maturities and free up money for development and social programmes. According to Sthembiso E. Nkalanga of JPMorgan, the goal of restructuring debt to stretch maturities could be directed at domestic debt servicing, which has been greater than servicing of international debt. In order to spur economic growth and produce income, Ruto promises to cut back on borrowing and support small businesses.

What about the local investors?

The economic ideas of Odinga and Ruto are different, with Odinga arguing for stronger social safeguards and Ruto promising to support small businesses. Investors in the area are optimistic: In the central bank's July market perception poll, which included all corporate leaders, three-quarters of them expressed optimism, up from just a third in the survey conducted five years prior. This is a result of political stability brought about by outgoing President Kenyatta's March 2018 agreement with his bitter foe Odinga.

Explained: Ramifications of Kenya's elections for investors in commercial hub of Africa

In several areas of southern England, hosepipes are no longer allowed. Customers of Southern Water in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight were forced to make the change starting at 17:00 BST. This prohibits the use of hosepipes to irrigate lawns, wash vehicles, or fill swimming pools and ornamental ponds.

Three weeks are anticipated for the restrictions to apply. In Kent and Sussex, similar restrictions are being implemented following the driest July since 1935. A punishment of up to £1,000 might be imposed on anyone who violates the restrictions. The decision to enact the restriction, which is the first in England this year, was described by Southern Water as a "vital step" in protecting the habitats of the River Test and the River Itchen, from which it draws water.

The business reported last month that river flows were roughly 25% lower than they should have been for July. The company's head of risk and compliance, Alison Hoyle, told the BBC that she wanted to assure customers that there wouldn't be any limitations on using water for critical purposes. Portsmouth Water warned its customers not to waste water but did not impose a hosepipe ban. The company stated that it was constantly reviewing its stance and keeping an eye on the issue.

Customers of Thames Water have also been advised to use water "wisely." The business stated that the introduction of a temporary use ban, "which is likely to include hosepipes," would be the next step in its legally required drought plan.&nbsp;

According to a prior statement from Thames Water, water is being moved from north London to Berkshire to prevent the county from enacting a hosepipe ban. The National Drought Group elevated England to "prolonged dry weather" status, the last stage before a drought, after an emergency meeting conducted last month. About a million South East Water users in Kent and Sussex will be subject to restrictions starting on August 12.

Up to 200 Iranian government and local agents have sealed off the village of Roshankouh in the Mazandaran province, where a significant number of Baha'is live, and are using heavy earthmoving equipment to destroy their homes in a cruel escalation just two days after previous attacks on Baha'is throughout Iran.

The claims came a day after Iran claimed to have detained six Baha'is on suspicion of spying for Israel. It was the most recent example of the Islamic Republic intensifying its clampdown as a result of pressure from abroad for its broken nuclear agreement. The suspects were connected to the Baha'i centre in Israel, according to a statement from Iran's intelligence ministry, and they had transported and collected information there. The Baha'i sought their release and claimed that the Shiite theocracy in Iran has a long history of persecuting them.

Up to 200 Iranian officials reportedly cordoned off the Baha'i-majority village of Roushankouh in Mazandaran province on Tuesday, according to a statement from the Baha'i International Community.
