IIT graduate moves from Indian Railways to SpaceX, his LinkedIn profile goes viral

In a new investigation, it has been found that millions of users are using&nbsp;AI-powered&nbsp;chatbots&nbsp;on&nbsp;Telegram&nbsp;to create nude and explicit images of real people.

The users are allowed by the bots to alter photos with some clicks and create deep fakes which remove clothing from the image or fabricate sexual activity, according to a report published by Wired.

The report further stated that these chatbots have been utilised by as many as four&nbsp;million users every month to create deepfakes.&nbsp;

An alarm about the situation was raised by experts like Henry Ajder who noted that serious risks were posed by such bots, especially to young girls and women.

Ajder had found these explicit chatbots four years ago on the social media platform. He emphasised that the situation has been “nightmarish" considering the amount of people who have been actively using them.

"It is really concerning that these tools — which are really ruining lives and creating a very nightmarish scenario primarily for young girls and for women — are still so easy to access and to find on the surface web, on one of the biggest apps in the world," he explained.

<h2>Telegram becomes hub of harmful bots</h2>

Telegram, which is primarily known for translations and alerts, has turned into a hub for such harmful bots.

Wired claimed that when they reached out to the company, they did not receive any response, however, the bots disappeared from the platform.

As per the report, the deepfake bots had clarity about what they had to do. The names and descriptions of the bot clearly referred to nudity and removing women’s clothes.&nbsp;

“I can do anything you want about the face or clothes of the photo you give me,” Wired claimed one of the creators’ of one bot wrote. “Experience the shock brought by AI (Artificial Intelligence),” another said.

Telegram's AI chatbots are capable of creating nudes of anyone: Report

In a shocking event, a paraglider caught a bizarre scene of a dog roaming at the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza, leaving him and those who saw it in the video puzzled as to how the animal managed to climb such a height.

The jaw-dropping footage of the dog was shared on social media and it soon went viral. The visuals of the video showed that the canine somehow managed to scale what at one point in time was the tallest human-built structure for nearly 4,000 years.

The dog was caught by paraglider Alex Lang when he passed by the 455ft Great Pyramid, which is the largest among the three pyramids in Giza, Egypt on October 14.

Dog mysteriously climbs to top of 455ft Great Pyramid of Giza, gets captured by paraglider

The visitors were left stunned and angry when they found that the much-hyped giant whale shark was actually a robot in an aquarium in China.&nbsp;

This "deep-fake" incident happened at the Xiaomeisha Sea World in Shenzhen which had opened to the public on October 1 after undergoing a five-year renovation, reported Jam Press.

The aquarium had a week-long dry run and around 100,000 visitors came to the 645,000-square-foot ocean zoo. The visitors had to pay $40 to enter the wet wonderland.

Visitors were looking forward to the star attraction of the theme park which was the whale shark – the largest fish in the world – believed to grow to 60 feet in length.

<h2>Visitors feel cheated, aquarium authorities claim 'were adhering to laws'</h2>

After the visitors realised that the regal sea beast was actually a robot, they felt cheated.&nbsp;

As the outrage widened, Xiaomeisha also had to face criticism online.

“The venue isn’t large enough, and even the whale shark is artificial. By 3 o’clock, people were already demanding refunds," said a user.

“The most disappointing part was the whale shark exhibit,” wrote another user on the social media platform&nbsp;Xiaohongshu.&nbsp;

“When I heard the name, I was full of anticipation, but when I arrived, I saw a mechanical whale shark. It’s not interesting at all," commented a third user.

Addressing the criticism, the representatives of Xiaomeisha said that the robo-shark — which had cost millions of Chinese yuan — was created to adhere to laws which ban the trade of whale sharks and was not aimed at “catfish” visitors.&nbsp;

“Even though it’s for the sake of animal protection, I’d rather they didn’t have one at all than show a fake one,” said a user.

“The fish care was not professional enough. I noticed that some of the fish in the tanks had white spots,” wrote another user.

“Most people wouldn’t notice, but anyone who’s kept tropical fish knows that’s white spot disease. Some of the fish didn’t appear to be in good health," a third user stated.

Scientists have for the first time made a remarkable discovery of animal life beneath the seafloor at a depth of 2,500 metres. The discovery of animals close to the deep hydrothermal vent systems challenged the theory that just microbes inhabit the subseafloor region and suggested that more of Earth's crust is likely to harbour complex lifeforms.

Scientists have for the first time made a remarkable discovery of animal life beneath the seafloor at a depth of 2,500 metres. The discovery of animals close to the deep hydrothermal vent systems challenged the theory that just microbes inhabit the subseafloor region and suggested that more of Earth's crust is likely to harbour complex lifeforms. This discovery has proved that life begins to thrive even in the most extreme environments and has increased hopes for finding life beyond Earth. How did scientists find animal life beneath the seafloor? The macroscopic life was discovered by a team of researchers beneath the deep ocean's seafloor which is one of the most extreme environments of Earth. The study was published in Nature Communications and the remotely operated vehicle SuBastian was used on the research vessel Falkor (too) by the team to identify the animals. Also Read: An ancient sunk seafloor beneath Pacific is impacting Earth's interior. Here's how The investigation was carried out by the team around 8,250 feet (2,515 metres) beneath the sea across the eastern Pacific Ocean floor. “Our discovery shows us that animal life in the ocean is not restricted to what we see on the seafloor surface, but that animal life extends into the shallow ocean’s crust,” said study co-author Sabine Gollner, who is a researcher at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, while speaking to Gizmodo. “The extent of the subseafloor cavities—horizontally and how deep they reach—is not known yet. The subseafloor habitat could be also very important for the succession at hydrothermal vents, as the seafloor and subseafloor habitats are connected," Gollner added. What kind of animals were found by scientists? In the discovery, the scientists found animals like tubeworms which were wriggling through cavities in the subseafloor. The team specifically found the tubeworms R. pachyptila and O. alvinae and the mussels B. thermophilus besides polychaete worms and limpets.

The sun has now reached its "solar maximum period" in this solar cycle because of which there have been increased sunspots and solar activity in the star.&nbsp;

NASA’s&nbsp;Space Weather&nbsp;Programme head Jamie Favors said that solar maximum is a time when increased sunspots and solar activity are likely to have implications on the everyday lives of humans on Earth.

“This increase in activity provides an exciting opportunity to learn about our closest star — but also causes real effects on Earth and throughout our solar system,” explained Favors.

<h2>What is solar maximum?&nbsp;</h2>

Solar maximum is part of the 11-year cycle of the Sun in which it changes its magnetic activity.

The cycle reaches its peak amid a solar maximum in a way that sometimes the magnetic North and South poles of Earth switch their places every decade. There is a surge in solar activity because of this dramatic flipping.&nbsp;

When the Sun reaches its solar maximum, the surface is filled with more sunspots and releases more solar flares and solar material known as&nbsp;coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Sunspots appear like dark patches on the solar surface, they are cooler in comparison to their surroundings and are the hotbeds for solar eruptions.

<h2>How does solar maximum impact lives on Earth?</h2>

Sun's solar flares and CMEs lead to solar storms which belts Earth with charged particles. After reaching our planet, these flares interact with the magnetic field of Earth and cause geomagnetic storms.

The storms are capable of interrupting satellite communications and messing with radio and GPS signals and sometimes even power grids.

“This announcement doesn’t mean that this is the peak of solar activity we’ll see this solar cycle,” explained Elsayed Talaat, director of space weather operations at the&nbsp;SWPC.

“While the Sun has reached the solar maximum period, the month that solar activity peaks on the Sun will not be identified for months or years," she added, as reported by Earth.com.&nbsp;

Lead scientist at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas and co-chair of the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel Lisa Upton said, “Solar Cycle 25 sunspot activity has slightly&nbsp;exceeded expectations. However, despite seeing a few large storms, they aren’t larger than what we might expect during the maximum phase of the cycle.”

The archaeologists have made a rare discovery of 2,000-year-old skeletons and ‘Holy Grail’ cup in a secret tomb which was underneath the historical place Petra where the famous movie Indiana Jones was also shot.&nbsp;

Twelve bodies were found in the tomb and one of them had a chalice which resembled the&nbsp;mythical Holy Grail, from which Jesus is believed to have drank at the Last Supper.

The 2,000-year-old grave was excavated by the diggers after they found it through a sonic underground search.

In the tomb found in Petra, the archaeologists also discovered bits of bronze, iron, and other pieces of ceramic items.

Lead archaeologist Dr Pearce Paul Creasman said that they are hoping to make more recoveries as the excavation continues.

Creasman said that the grave has been dated by his team to the first century BC with the help of luminescence dating in which the last exposure of minerals to sunlight is tracked.

A lot of tombs have been discovered in Petra, however, it is rare to excavate skeletons.

Josh Gates, who was host of Discovery Channel’s Expedition Unknown and also participated in the excavation, said, "This is a hugely rare discovery — in the two centuries that Petra has been investigated by archaeologists, nothing like this has been found before. Even in front of one of the most famous buildings in the world … there are still huge discoveries to be made. It really was this awesome moment of history imitating art."

“They must be hugely important people, because where they’re buried is such prime real estate; it really is the main entrance to the city. I think learning who they are is really going to help unlock part of the story of the Treasury," he added.

<h2>Tomb to give rare insight into Nabataeans: Expert</h2>

Creasman said that even though human remains were found intact, they were very fragile possibly because of the humidity and seasonal floods along with porous sandstone which surrounded the tomb and entrapped moisture.

He added that the archaeological find is likely to give a rare insight into the Nabataeans.

“We were hopeful to find anything that might tell us more about the ancient people and place — human remains can be a really valuable tool in that regard. The burials in this tomb are articulated, so the bones haven’t been rummaged around and moved, so that’s exceedingly rare," Creasman said while speaking to CNN.

"The Nabateans were a multicultural trading society who only worked because they united as a people. I hope they might be able to teach us something today," he said.

The archaeologists have made a rare discovery of 2,000-year-old skeletons and ‘Holy Grail’ cup in a secret tomb which was underneath the historical place Petra where the famous movie Indiana Jones was also shot.

The archaeologists have made a rare discovery of 2,000-year-old skeletons and ‘Holy Grail’ cup in a secret tomb which was underneath the historical place Petra where the famous movie Indiana Jones was also shot. Twelve bodies were found in the tomb and one of them had a chalice which resembled the mythical Holy Grail, from which Jesus is believed to have drank at the Last Supper. The 2,000-year-old grave was excavated by the diggers after they found it through a sonic underground search. In the tomb found in Petra, the archaeologists also discovered bits of bronze, iron, and other pieces of ceramic items. Lead archaeologist Dr Pearce Paul Creasman said that they are hoping to make more recoveries as the excavation continues. Creasman said that the grave has been dated by his team to the first century BC with the help of luminescence dating in which the last exposure of minerals to sunlight is tracked.

Hidden 2,000-year-old skeletons and ‘Holy Grail’ cup found in secret tomb where ‘Indiana Jones’ was filmed

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express has spotted some remarkable mysterious features in the south polar region of the Red Planet.

The landforms, which are surrounded by darker than the icy realms, have earned the title of ‘cryptic terrain’.

The planet's seasonal polar caps are filled with carbon dioxide ice and have a touch of water ice.&nbsp;

As the spring arrives, the ice is known to sublimate at a good pace and quickly turn from a solid state to vapour because of which a considerable amount of gas gets freed into the thin atmosphere of Mars.

The process is known to reverse during autumn as the vapour condenses and the caps continue to grow. In this process, these mysterious landforms are formed out of the freeze-thaw cycle.

This landform has been found in Australe Scopuli, which was captured by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard&nbsp;Mars Express&nbsp;during spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

<h2>All about Australe Scopuli</h2>

The Australe Scopuli has layered deposits of ice which has different amounts of dust trapped beneath the smooth surface of the polar layered deposits.

In the centre of this region is the cryptic terrain, which is darker in comparison to the rest of the ice cap.

In the image captured, the dark centre stage was covered with different types of polygon shapes at various scales.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the polygon edges appear to be trapped in bright frost, which is a pattern found in the Arctic and Antarctic regions on Earth.

Such patterns generally indicate the presence of water ice in the ground. In the image are bright and dark fan-shaped deposits that appear in the direction of prevailing winds.&nbsp;

In early spring, sunlight permeates across the translucent carbon dioxide ice layer and leads to warming of the underlying surface, where pressure is built by pockets of trapped gases that cause the overlying ice to crack.

Through the surface, the jets of gas burst and carry dark dust from below. &nbsp;When the dust settles back, it falls in the direction of the prevailing wind patterns.

Millionaire Bryan Johnson, who is known for his age-reversing experiments, recently took to social media to brag about his “super clean” plasma.&nbsp;

The millionaire went through a total plasma exchange procedure after which he said that the lab technician was not able to throw it away.

Bryan Johnson&nbsp;has claimed to have decreased his epigenetic age by going through a comprehensive regimen which he called Project Blueprint.

Under this regimen, Johnson&nbsp;has been following a strict exercise and diet regimen and has spent more than $2 million every year to undergo various experimental and conventional treatments like total plasma exchange (TPE).

<h2>What is total plasma exchange?</h2>

Total plasma exchange or TPE is a medical procedure which is related to anti-aging treatments and regenerative medicine.

In this, the plasma of the patient is replaced either with donor plasma or a substitute fluid. Johnson replaced his plasma&nbsp;with albumin.

Taking to social media platform X, he said, “TPE removes all of my body’s plasma and replaces it with Albumin. The therapy objectives are to remove toxins from my body. The evidence is emergent."

Johnson said that a staffer called his plasma the “cleanest” he had seen in the last nine years he worked at the clinic.

“The operator, who’s been doing TPE for 9 years, said my plasma is the cleanest he’s ever seen. By far. He couldn’t get over it. When we finished, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it away. He was imagining all the good that it could do in the world,” Johnson wrote on X.

The millionaire said that his plasma is “liquid gold” and when a litre of it was added to his father's body, his ageing dropped by 25 years.

Johnson also posted pictures of himself carrying a bag with a straw-coloured liquid.

He has even used his 17-year-old son's plasma to replace his plasma last time. That was the “world's first multigenerational plasma exchange” carried out between a father and a son, whom he used to call “blood boy”.

In a shocking incident, a mother made her two young children sit on the outdoor air conditioning unit of their flat&nbsp;on the 23rd floor, to annoy her husband in central China.&nbsp;

A video of the incident was shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and went viral as users slammed the woman.

On October 10, residents in Luoyang, Henan province, said that they heard a little girl crying and found that she and her brother were sitting very dangerously, reported the news website Sohu.

They found the children's mother sitting on the adjoining windowsill,&nbsp;fighting loudly with her husband and not letting him approach the children, as per the viral video.

In the video, both the children were not seen wearing any protective gear and the girl appeared terrified as she sobbed while the boy remained comparatively calm.

“This woman is insane and horrible! She should receive serious judicial punishment,” said a third social media user.

“In this scenario, you should go soft first. You should comfort your wife and persuade her to stop her dangerous behaviour. That is the most important thing to do," commented the fourth user.

In this new age, Google Maps has become a place to make discoveries still not found by scientists.

Internet sleuths have time and again spoken about finding bigfoot sightings and “holes to the centre of the Earth” through the web mapping platform.

In a new discovery, someone has now come up with an image of a weird structure on the icy slopes of&nbsp;Antarctica that is claimed to be a purported secret giant door.
