<p>What would you do if you could modify your body to add mechanical parts? If you could just go up to a shop and ask for cyborg arms or legs? What would the society look like? This scenario does seem like something straight out of a science fiction comic. However, it is the reality that has been made possible by a Japan-based researcher and his team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Masahiko Inami and his team have come up with robotic arms that can be worn by a user and can move in tune with a human.</p>

<h2><strong>Jizai Arms</strong></h2>

<p>The technology named "Jizai Arms" takes inspiration from 'The Arm', a quasi-horror traditional Japanese story by novelist Yasunari Kawabata. The short story revolves around an ageing man who becomes obsessed with a beautiful young woman and borrows one of her arms for the night.</p>

<p>As per Reuters, Inami and his team. are further developing a series of technologies, all rooted in the idea of "jizai". The Japanese term, as per Inami, roughly relates to autonomy and an individual's freedom to do as he pleases.</p>

<h2><strong>Why develop cyborg arms?</strong></h2>

<p>As per the researcher, the aim behind developing 'Jizai arms' is to foster a relationship similar to music and instrument between machine and man.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Lying somewhere between a human and a tool, like how a musical instrument can become as if a part of your body," is how the University of Tokyo researcher describes it.</p>

<p>He says that rather than replace humans, the technology aims to "support us" and "unlock creativity".</p>

<p>"This is absolutely not a rival to human beings, but rather something that helps us do as we please, like a bicycle or e-bike. It supports us and can unlock creativity," said Inami.</p>

<h2><strong>What can the robot arms do?</strong></h2>

<p>If you're wondering how it would feel to wear the cyborg arms and whether it'll feel bulky or weighed down. Inami has revealed that many wearers actually grow attached to the arms.</p>

<p>While testing the technology, researchers discovered that "Taking them off after using them for a while feels a little sad. That's where they're a little different to other tools."</p>

<p>In a promotional video of the "Jizai Arms" ballet dancers can be seen performing a dance routine with the robotic arms strapped to their backs and torso. The humans and the machine can be seen moving in concert. The aesthetic dance routine ends with the two dancers embracing as their cyborg arms also envelop each other.</p>

<p>Francesca Gino, a prominent Harvard Business School (HBS) professor known for her studies on honesty, has been accused of data fraud. Allegations against Gino surfaced in recent weeks, with claims that she falsified results in several behavioural science studies.</p>

<h2><strong>How did her lies come to light?</strong></h2>

<p>As per the Guardian, Harvard informed Max Bazerman, an HBS professor and co-author of a 2012 paper with Gino, that it believed one of the studies overseen by Gino had falsified results.</p>

<p>The paper&nbsp;in question was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and later retracted. It focused on an experiment involving participants filling out tax and insurance paperwork.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It claimed that participants who signed truthfulness declarations at the top of the page were more honest than those who signed at the bottom.</p>

<p>"Many written forms required by businesses and governments rely on honest reporting. Proof of honest intent is typically provided through signature at the end of, eg, tax returns or insurance policy forms. Still, people sometimes cheat to advance their financial self-interests at great costs to society. We test an easy-to-implement method to discourage dishonesty: signing at the beginning rather than at the end of a self-report, thereby reversing the order of the current practice," said the study's abstract.</p>

<p>According to a report in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Bazerman, Harvard, provided "compelling evidence" of data falsification, including the findings that someone accessed a database and added and altered data.</p>

<h2><strong>More proof?</strong></h2>

<p>In response to the allegations, a blog called DataColoda, run by three behavioural science academics, published a series of posts detailing extensive evidence of alleged fraud in four academic papers co-authored by Gino.</p>

<p>The blog authors shared their concerns with Harvard Business School in 2021 and believe that many more papers authored by Gino may contain fake data.</p>

<p>"We discovered evidence of fraud in papers spanning over a decade, including papers published quite recently (in 2020)," wrote blog authors, ESADE Business School's Uri Simonsohn, University of California, Berkeley’s Leif Nelson, and University of Pennsylvania’s Joseph Simmons.</p>

<p>They said,&nbsp;"In the fall of 2021, we shared our concerns with Harvard Business School. Specifically, we wrote a report about four studies for which we had accumulated the strongest evidence of fraud. We believe that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data. Perhaps dozens."&nbsp;Francesca Gino's HBS profile indicates that she is currently on administrative leave.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to push the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. Its remarkable prediction capabilities have captured widespread attention. From predicting stock market trends to diagnosing diseases, the technology has demonstrated an uncanny ability to analyse vast amounts of data and make accurate forecasts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, new research conducted by a team of researchers from Denmark and Sweden suggests that artificial intelligence may be able to predict a person's political views based on their appearance, posing potential privacy concerns.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Study findings</strong></h2>

<p>The study found that the AI model accurately predicted the political affiliations of people in around 61 per cent of cases.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the research published in the journal Nature, variations in facial expressions were linked to political views. The model concluded that, due to their smiles, "both male and female right-wing composites appeared happier than their left-wing counterparts",&nbsp;while liberal candidates displayed more neutral expressions.</p>

<p>Women who exhibited a facial expression of contempt — neutral eyes and one corner of the lips lifted — were associated with more liberal politics by the model.</p>

<p>The researchers also observed a correlation between a candidate's level of attractiveness and their political ideology.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per Business Insider, women deemed attractive by their beauty scores were predicted to have conservative views, although there was no similar correlation found between men's attractiveness and right-wing leanings.</p>

<p>"Politicians on the right have been found to be more attractive than those on the&nbsp;left," states the study.</p>

<h2><strong>What data set was used?</strong></h2>

<p>The study aimed to demonstrate the privacy threat resulting from the combination of deep learning techniques and easily accessible photographs. For this purpose, the researchers used a dataset of 3,233 images of Danish political candidates and employed facial recognition and predictive analytics to assess facial expressions and attractiveness scores.</p>

<h2><strong>How is this ability a threat?</strong></h2>

<p>The findings raise concerns about how AI can perpetuate stereotypes and biases. AI models trained on preconceived notions of beauty standards and gender can reinforce existing stereotypes, potentially leading to biased outcomes in various domains, including hiring decisions.&nbsp;</p>

Research suggests AI can predict political views based on facial analysis, raising privacy concerns

<p>Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has once again stirred&nbsp;a new controversy. A video of the Pakistan leader who is in France to attend the two-day New Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris is going viral on Twitter. Here's why it is causing a controversy on social media.</p>

<p><br />
Upon Shehbaz Sharif's landing and the subsequent arrival at Palais Brogniart to attend the summit, it was raining in Paris.</p>

<p>To receive the Pakistani Prime Minister, a lady protocol officer was waiting for him with an umbrella. Once Sharif exited the car, the two started walking towards the venue.</p>

<p>They can then be seen having a word, following which the Pakistani leader takes the umbrella from the female protocol officer and paces ahead with it. The female officer follows the Pakistan PM, walking in the rain just a few steps behind him.</p>

They can then be seen having a word, following which the Pakistani leader takes the umbrella from the female protocol officer and paces ahead with it. The female officer follows the Pakistan PM, walking in the rain just a few steps behind him.

While some people are calling it a "good gesture", others are calling the behaviour an "embarrassment", yet others have labelled Sharif's conduct as "impolite". However, many have also jumped to his defence. One user posted a screenshot from the video and wrote, "There are many others so she could have used another female officer's umbrella 🤷".

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif is visiting Paris to attend the two-day summit, on the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. As per an Radio Pakistan report, the Pakistani PM earlier met with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in a last-ditch effort to get a much-needed loan to aid Pakistan through its financial troubles. The South Asian nation has also asked the United Stes to play a role in reviving the stalled International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, reported IANS. However, the US is reportedly more interested in finding out what Paksitan will do to cope with the economic challenges, in case the IMF funding falls through. WATCH WION LIVE HERE

<p>In South Korea, a teenager has been arrested for attempting to open an aeroplane emergency door mid-flight. As per a News 8000 report, after an investigation by the Incheon Airport police, the 19-year-old tested positive for drugs.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>On June 19th, a red-eye flight en route from the Philippines to Seoul, South Korea, became the scene of 'turbulence' after a 19-year-old Korean man tried to open the plane's door.</p>

<p>The man boarded the flight from Cebu in the Philippines. One hour into the flight, he began "acting strangely" due to which the flight crew moved him to the front of the plane — closer to the exit door — to keep an eye on him, reported CNN.</p>

<p>As per officials from Jeju Air, the passenger also complained of feeling "pressure" on his chest.</p>

<p>Soon after, he attempted to open the plane's door. Talking to reporters, he later claimed that he "felt I was being attacked".</p>

<p>As per a statement by the airlines, he was "immediately subdued by the crew, who used a lasso rope and tie wraps to keep him controlled for the rest of the flight".</p>

<p>Due to their timely action, the door to the plane stayed closed, and the plane landed undamaged. Furthermore, none of the 180 passengers aboard the plane were hurt.</p>

<h2><strong>The investigation</strong></h2>

<p>The man was handed over to the police at Seoul’s Incheon Airport at 7:30 am. Following that, with the passenger's consent, a simple drug test was run, which found he was under the influence of drugs.</p>

19-year-old on drugs tries to open plane door mid-flight; Flight crew uses lasso to 'subdue' passenger

<p>In today's world of instant gratification where you can connect to someone via a voice call, a message, or a video call instantly, police in this Indian state are holding on to a flock of carrier pigeons for their communication needs. Police in the Eastern Indian state of Odisha are preserving carrier pigeons for use in scenarios where a disaster might compromise communication links.</p>

<h2><strong>A colonial legacy</strong></h2>

<p>Today, the carrier pigeon service in Odisha has over 100 Belgian Homer pigeons, carefully maintained for their historical significance and to ensure their existence for future generations.</p>

<p>Satish Kumar Gajbhiye, an inspector-general of police in the district of Cuttack as per Reuters, said: "We have kept the pigeons for their heritage value and to preserve them for future generations."</p>

<p>The tradition of using carrier pigeons dates back to the era of British colonial rule when police stations relied on these birds to exchange messages.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Have the carrier pigeons proven themselves useful in recent times?</strong></h2>

<p>These pigeons have proven to be a lifeline on at least two occasions over the past four decades. During a powerful cyclone in 1999 that caused communication lines to fail and devastating floods in 1982, the pigeons played a vital role in maintaining communication.</p>

<p>To transmit messages, lightweight onion paper is used, upon which the message is written. The paper is then inserted into a capsule and tied to the pigeon's leg. The pigeons possess impressive flying abilities, capable of covering distances of up to 500 miles (800 km) in a single journey at speeds of 55 kph (34 mph).</p>

<h2><strong>How are the pigeons trained?</strong></h2>

<p>The training process for the carrier pigeons as per Reuters begins when they are around five to six weeks old.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Parshuram Nanda, a caretaker of the birds, they "start training the birds at five to six weeks old, when they are placed in a crate and put in their shelter."</p>

<p>As they grow older, they are gradually released from increasing distances. Guided by their instincts, the pigeons find their way back to the shelter, accomplishing return flights of approximately 30 km (19 miles) within ten days, explained Nanda.</p>

<p>"Even in the unlikely event that every mode of communication breaks down tomorrow, the pigeons will never fail," says Historian Anil Dhir, who as per the report collaborates with the police.</p>

<p>As per him, studies indicate carrier pigeons possess the remarkable ability to detect magnetic fields and navigate accurately over vast distances.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Historical use of carrier pigeons</strong></h2>

<p>Carrier pigeons have a rich history of delivering important messages throughout the ages. They carried news of the conquest of Gaul to Rome and announced Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in England. They were also extensively used as messengers during both World Wars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, in modern times, with the advent of advanced communication technologies, the Indian carrier pigeons primarily serve ceremonial pu.rposes during national holidays like Independence Day and Republic Day, remarked Gajbhiye.</p>

<p>In Colombia, a police officer had to be hospitalised after swallowing a wad of banknotes. The policeman reportedly did this to avoid getting caught in the middle of an extortion case.</p>

<p>As per a report in The Guardian, in return for not arresting his victim on false charges, the police officer had demanded a bribe from a businessman.</p>

<p>However, unknown to him, the businessman had already reported the shakedown to Colombia's anti-kidnapping and extortion unit.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'Hungry Hungry' <s>Hippos</s>&nbsp;</strong><strong>police officer</strong></h2>

<p>When anti-corruption investigators arrived at the scene of the shakedown&nbsp;in the suburb of Soacha near the capital, Bogotá, the officer hastily swallowed the cash in an attempt to destroy the evidence.&nbsp;</p>

In Colombia, a police officer had to be hospitalised after swallowing a wad of banknotes. The policeman reportedly did this to avoid getting caught in the middle of an extortion case.

In Colombia, a police officer had to be hospitalised after swallowing a wad of banknotes. The policeman reportedly did this to avoid getting caught in the middle of an extortion case. As per a report in The Guardian, in return for not arresting his victim on false charges, the police officer had demanded a bribe from a businessman. However, unknown to him, the businessman had already reported the shakedown to Colombia's anti-kidnapping and extortion unit. 'Hungry Hungry' Hippos police officer When anti-corruption investigators arrived at the scene of the shakedown in the suburb of Soacha near the capital, Bogotá, the officer hastily swallowed the cash in an attempt to destroy the evidence.

Colombian police officer sparks meme fest after swallowing money he had extorted. Watch viral video here!

<p>Visitors at&nbsp;Destin's beach on Sunday were taken aback by the amazing sight of a young black bear cub playing in the waters to cool down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Social media users shared videos of the amazing sight of a bear taking a cool dip in the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The young&nbsp;cub surprised beachgoers by making its way from the deep water to a packed beach, generating a flurry of internet activity.</p>

<p>The young&nbsp;bear's amazing swimming abilities are seen in one video, which led an onlooker to jokingly comment, "I guess he's on vacation, too!" The cub joyously splashes about in the knee-deep water as it approaches the shore while curious onlookers watch in awe. People in the throng are clearly shocked as they shout, "It's a bear!"</p>

<p>On Facebook, Jennifer Majors Smith, who now calls Nashville home but was on vacation with her family in the Florida Panhandle, posted many videos of the amazing experience. "Never have I ever...seen a black bear swim up out of the Gulf Coast and onto the beach," she wrote, "and I'm from Pensacola."</p>

Watch | Bear beats the heat, takes a dip in Florida beach

<p>A bewildering video of a deer munching on a snake was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on the social media platform, which went viral. Deers are known to be herbivores and plants are considered as their main diet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, a rare sight of a deer eating a snake was captured by a passerby in a car. In the video, a deer is captured standing by the roadside in a forest area and munching on a snake. The person, who was recording the video, can be heard exclaiming in the background, "Is he eating a snake?"</p>

<h2><strong>Can deer eat flesh?</strong></h2>

<p>As per National Geographic, deer can pursue flesh because they face a lack of minerals like calcium, salt and phosphorous, especially in the winter season when the life of plants is scarce.</p>

<p>The viral video was accompanied by a caption that read, "Cameras are helping us understand Nature better. Yes. Herbivorous animals do eat snakes at times."</p>

<p>The video was earlier posted by a page titled Science Girl.</p>

<p>Explaining the animal's unusual behaviour, the post of the caption on the page read, "Deer are herbivores and classified as ruminants because of their rumen, which helps them digest tough plant matter like cellulose. But if food is scarce or they lack minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, they may eat meat Watch this one eat a snake."&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Social media users react to the strange video</strong></h2>

<p>Since the video was posted, it garnered more than 1 lakh views on Twitter and also received a number of comments.</p>

<p>A user stated, "Really, very strange, no sir?"</p>

<p>Another user commented, "Nature is full of incredible and sometimes unexpected interactions, and this video showcases one such instance. It serves as a reminder of the vast diversity of animal behaviour and the unique ways in which different species adapt to survive."</p>

A bewildering video of a deer munching on a snake was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on the social media platform, which went viral.

A bewildering video of a deer munching on a snake was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on the social media platform, which went viral. Deers are known to be herbivores and plants are considered as their main diet. However, a rare sight of a deer eating a snake was captured by a passerby in a car. In the video, a deer is captured standing by the roadside in a forest area and munching on a snake. The person, who was recording the video, can be heard exclaiming in the background, "Is he eating a snake?" Can deer eat flesh? As per National Geographic, deer can pursue flesh because they face a lack of minerals like calcium, salt and phosphorous, especially in the winter season when the life of plants is scarce.

Herbivorous animals do eat snakes at times. pic.twitter.com/DdHNenDKU0 — Susanta Nanda (@susantananda3) June 11, 2023 × The video was earlier posted by a page titled Science Girl. Explaining the animal's unusual behaviour, the post of the caption on the page read, "Deer are herbivores and classified as ruminants because of their rumen, which helps them digest tough plant matter like cellulose. But if food is scarce or they lack minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, they may eat meat Watch this one eat a snake." Social media users react to the strange video Since the video was posted, it garnered more than 1 lakh views on Twitter and also received a number of comments. A user stated, "Really, very strange, no sir?" Another user commented, "Nature is full of incredible and sometimes unexpected interactions, and this video showcases one such instance. It serves as a reminder of the vast diversity of animal behaviour and the unique ways in which different species adapt to survive." WATCH | Gravitas: Bizarre footage emerges from Canada "Certainly.

<p>A California family has stumbled upon a surprising treasure hidden within the basement crawlspace of their Los Angeles house: over a&nbsp;million pennies. They made the remarkable discovery when they began cleaning out their father's former home in Pico-Union, Los Angeles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The discovery has left the family with an intriguing dilemma, a champagne problem&nbsp;to say — what to do with such an enormous amount of money.</p>

<h2><strong>It's raining pennies</strong></h2>

<p>John Reyes, a realtor hailing from the Inland Empire area, and his wife, Elizabeth, were cleaning out the house that belonged to Elizabeth's father.</p>

<p>The house, dating back to the early 1900s, was believed to have once served as a bed-and-breakfast establishment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Previously occupied by John's father-in-law, Fritz, and his brother — both German immigrants— the property had been a home for several decades. Following Fritz's passing and his brother's departure, the Reyes family took on the arduous task of clearing out the historic residence, intending to renovate it for future generations.</p>

<p>As they delved deeper into the basement's cluttered recesses, John and Elizabeth unearthed loose pennies, old paper rolls disintegrating with age. However, the discovery didn't stop there. They stumbled upon crates, boxes, and numerous bank bags, containing more than a million pennies accumulated over decades.</p>

<p>The assortment of bank bags revealed intriguing details, with some labelled with names of defunct banks or ones unfamiliar to the Reyes family. The significance of their find gradually sank in, and they realized they were facing hundreds of thousands of pounds of copper pennies.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How many pennies are there exactly?</strong></h2>

<p>The pennies are copper and not the more common zinc variety introduced in the 1980s.</p>

<p>To estimate the full extent of their find, the family performed rough calculations, weighing the bags and extrapolating their contents. The conclusion was staggering — they conservatively estimated possessing at least 1 million pennies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the challenge they confronted was deciding how to manage such an enormous collection effectively.</p>

<h2><strong>What are they going to do with all the pennies?</strong></h2>

<p>As per a Fox 5 report, initially, the idea of cashing out the pennies and putting the matter to rest seemed tempting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The thought of utilising a Coinstar machine crossed their minds, but they swiftly discarded the notion due to the associated 8 per cent fee and the logistical challenge of transporting such an immense quantity of coins back to their home in Ontario.

<p>Their efforts, however, were met with unexpected obstacles. Wells Fargo, one of the banks they contacted, refused to accept the sizable influx of pennies, citing space constraints and expressing disbelief at the scale of the collection.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Finally, John Reyes decided to list the coins on OfferUp, a prominent online resale platform, setting an asking price of $25,000. If their estimate of 1 million pennies held true, the face value of the coins comes up to around $10,000.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The asking price of the collection thus surpasses the face value by more than double. "The value is in the uniqueness," says Reyes who believes that taking less than their full value would be a disservice to the ideals and principles that guided his father-in-law throughout his life.</p>

Viral moment: Women head for a girls' night out in wedding dresses | WATCH

<p>After spending an impressive 100 days living underwater, university professor Dr Joseph Dituri aka "Dr Deep" resurfaced on Friday, finally raising his face to the sun for the first time since March 1.&nbsp;The&nbsp;University of South Florida professor achieved a remarkable feat by setting a record for the longest duration of living underwater without the need for depressurisation.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Sleeping with the fishes&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Jules' Undersea Lodge, a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers served as Dr Deep's home during this extraordinary endeavour.</p>

<p>The lodge, submerged 30 feet (9.14 metres) lies beneath the water's surface in a Key Largo lagoon.</p>

<p>A diving explorer and medical researcher, Dituri surpassed the previous record of 73 days, two hours, and 34 minutes set by two professors from Tennessee in 2014, who also stayed at the same lodge.</p>

<h2><strong>What motivated Dr Deep to stay underwater for 100 days?</strong></h2>

<p>For Dituri, the main motivation behind his underwater stay, which earned him the nickname "Dr Deep Sea," was not about breaking records but rather about pushing the limits of human endurance in an underwater environment characterised by confinement and isolation.</p>

After record 100 days underwater, Florida's Dr Deep resurfaces. Here's why he achieved the amazing feat

<p>Doctors are held in high regard across the globe. Their hard work and drive to save the patients are&nbsp;the source of awe, and in some cultures, they are even revered as 'living' gods. However, not even they can predict a patient's chances of death. However, a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed by a team at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine claims to hold the capability to do just that.</p>

<p>As per a report by the news agency AFP, the AI-based tool has shown promising results in reading physicians' notes and accurately predicting patients' risk of death, readmission to the hospital, and other important outcomes related to their care.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>NYUTron</strong></h2>

<p>The software, known as NYUTron, is currently being used by NYU's affiliated hospitals in New York. The team behind this amazing tool hopes that one day it will become a standard component of healthcare practices.</p>

<p>A study published in the journal Nature highlights the predictive capabilities of this AI tool.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/ai-attempts-to-bring-dead-back-to-life-give-people-closure-601951">AI attempts to bring dead back to life, give people closure</a></strong></p>

<p>Talking to AFP, lead author Eric Oermann, a neurosurgeon and computer scientist at NYU, explained that while predictive models in medicine have existed for some time, they are not widely used due to the challenges of organising and formatting the required data.</p>

<p>However, the team realised that physicians consistently write detailed notes about their clinical observations and patient interactions. This, as per the team, can be a valuable source of data for building predictive models.</p>

<p>"One thing that's common in medicine everywhere, is physicians write notes about what they've seen in clinic, what they've discussed with patients," said Oermann.</p>

<p>"So our basic insight was, can we start with medical notes as our source of data, and then build predictive models on top of it?"</p>

<h2><strong>How did they achieve this feat?</strong></h2>

<p>NYUTron is basically a large language model. To train it, researchers used millions of clinical notes from the health records of 387,000 patients treated at NYU Langone hospitals between January 2011 and May 2020.</p>

<p>These notes encompassed various types of records written by doctors, including progress notes, radiology reports, and discharge instructions, resulting in a massive corpus of 4.1 billion words.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Using this data, the software made predictions which were then evaluated against real outcomes retrospectively.</p>

<p>One of the significant challenges the software faced was interpreting the diverse natural language used by physicians, which often includes unique abbreviations and variations.</p>

<h2><strong>The results?</strong></h2>

<p>Overall, NYUTron exhibited impressive performance, correctly identifying 95 per cent of patients who died in the hospital before discharge and predicting 80 per cent of patients who would be readmitted within 30 days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, NYUTron accurately estimated the actual length of stay for 79 per cent of patients, correctly identified 87 per cent of cases where insurance coverage was denied, and accurately recognized 89 per cent of cases where patients had additional conditions accompanying their primary disease.</p>

<p>It surpassed the predictions made by most doctors and outperformed non-AI computer models currently in use.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Can artificial intelligence&nbsp;replace doctors?</strong></h2>

<p>Interestingly, no. The tool was outperformed by the most experienced physician in the study, who achieved results exceeding the model's predictions.</p>

<p>As per Oermann, "the most senior physician who's actually a very famous physician, he had superhuman performance, better than the model."</p>

<p>Oermann emphasised that AI can never replace the physician-patient relationship. Instead, AI tools like NYUTron aim to "provide more information for physicians seamlessly at the point of care so they can make more informed decisions."&nbsp;He remarked that "the sweet spot for technology and medicine isn't that it's going to always deliver necessarily superhuman results, but it's going to really bring up that baseline."</p>

Groundbreaking AI tool predicts patients' chances of death. Can it replace doctors?

<p>The race to the White House has gotten murkier. Republican candidate Ron DeSantis has elevated his war of words with&nbsp;opponent Donald Trump to the next level with deepfake technology and AI-generated scandalous images. In a video released by the DeSantis War Room, the former US president can be seen hugging and even kissing&nbsp;the nose of his anathema, the former US chief medical adviser Dr Anthony Fauci.</p>

<h2><strong>Did Trump really kiss Fauci?</strong></h2>

<p>No, these images published by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' rapid response team are fake. They are generated using artificial intelligence technology and are as fake as the photos of Trump being arrested that went viral a couple of months back.</p>

<p>You can see them here:</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/ai-generated-images-of-donald-trumps-arrest-go-viral-take-a-look-574490">AI predicts what Donald Trump's arrest would look like. Take a look at the viral images!</a></strong></p>

<h2><strong>What is the DeSantis War Room video all about?</strong></h2>

<p>The video is a criticism of Trump's failure to fire Fauci, who was the United States' top infectious disease specialist at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, back when he was the president.</p>

<p>Fauci's push for Covid restrictions, as per Reuters, worked to turn him into a "boogeyman" for many Conservatives. Among those criticising Fauci's policies was Trump. In October 2020, the politician went as far as calling Dr Fauci a "disaster" that has been around for "500 years".</p>

<p>However, in spite of the often public thrashing, Trump refrained from firing Fauci.</p>

<h2><strong>Is the video completely fake?</strong></h2>

<p>As per Reuters, the video apparently includes some real footage of the former US president's press conferences and interviews.</p>

<p>However, the fake AI-generated content is shown with impudence at the 25-second mark. Here, around five seconds of the 35-second video display six images of Fauci and Trump. In three of them, the two men can be seen hugging or kissing.</p>

<h2><strong>How do we know these images are AI-generated?</strong></h2>

<p>Talking to Reuters, Matthew Stamm, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Drexel University, said that as per an analysis of traces left behind by synthetic image generators, the three images of Trump and Fauci kissing and hugging are likely AI-generated.</p>

<p>"Our results consistently output a decision that these images are fake," he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Did Trump use AI? Is this retaliation?</strong></h2>

<p>It could be retaliation. Talking to Reuters, a person with knowledge of Ron DeSantis' campaign operation claimed that the Trump side had been "continuously posting fake images and false talking points to smear the (Florida) governor."</p>

<p>As per the news agency, Trump, however, has primarily shared "obviously fake" content that anyone can see isn't real. For instance, he shared an image of DeSantis riding a rhinoceros. This, according to Reuters, was a suggestion that Ron DeSantis is a "Republican in Name Only" (RINO).</p>

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<h2><strong>Why is this problematic?</strong></h2>

<p>The video fails to disclose any potential AI use. While generating someone's AI images for slander purposes is immoral in all scenarios, the use of such images in the campaign of leading candidates makes it even more problematic.</p>

<h2><strong>Are other political campaigns using&nbsp;AI-generated content?</strong></h2>

<p>In the ongoing US Presidential Election race, so far the only high-profile political ad generated by artificial intelligence was by the Republican National Committee. The 30-second ad was released in April. It used fake images to suggest that if President Joe Biden is re-elected, a cataclysmic scenario with China invading Taiwan and San Francisco being shut down due to crime can happen. However, the RNC disclosed that the entire thing was generated using AI.<br />

The video is a criticism of Trump's failure to fire Fauci, who was the United States' top infectious disease specialist at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, back when he was the president. Fauci's push for Covid restrictions, as per Reuters, worked to turn him into a "boogeyman" for many Conservatives. Among those criticising Fauci's policies was Trump. In October 2020, the politician went as far as calling Dr Fauci a "disaster" that has been around for "500 years". However, in spite of the often public thrashing, Trump refrained from firing Fauci. Is the video completely fake? As per Reuters, the video apparently includes some real footage of the former US president's press conferences and interviews. However, the fake AI-generated content is shown with impudence at the 25-second mark. Here, around five seconds of the 35-second video display six images of Fauci and Trump. In three of them, the two men can be seen hugging or kissing.

Talking to Reuters, Matthew Stamm, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Drexel University, said that as per an analysis of traces left behind by synthetic image generators, the three images of Trump and Fauci kissing and hugging are likely AI-generated. "Our results consistently output a decision that these images are fake," he added. Also read | In Pics | AI creates images of world leaders as toddlers Did Trump use AI? Is this retaliation? It could be retaliation. Talking to Reuters, a person with knowledge of Ron DeSantis' campaign operation claimed that the Trump side had been "continuously posting fake images and false talking points to smear the (Florida) governor." As per the news agency, Trump, however, has primarily shared "obviously fake" content that anyone can see isn't real. For instance, he shared an image of DeSantis riding a rhinoceros. This, according to Reuters, was a suggestion that Ron DeSantis is a "Republican in Name Only" (RINO). × Why is this problematic? The video fails to disclose any potential AI use. While generating someone's AI images for slander purposes is immoral in all scenarios, the use of such images in the campaign of leading candidates makes it even more problematic. Are other political campaigns using AI-generated content? In the ongoing US Presidential Election race, so far the only high-profile political ad generated by artificial intelligence was by the Republican National Committee. The 30-second ad was released in April. It used fake images to suggest that if President Joe Biden is re-elected, a cataclysmic scenario with China invading Taiwan and San Francisco being shut down due to crime can happen. However, the RNC disclosed that the entire thing was generated using AI. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Car rams into lamp post, flips over; CCTV video of unfortunate driving test goes viral. Watch!

<p>Loss unites humanity as nothing else can. We've all lost someone we loved, and their deaths have left a space nothing and no one can fill. However, many startups are using the new technological capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to try to do just that. As per an AFP news report, these firms use AI to allow you to talk to your deceased loved ones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For someone dealing with the grief that comes with loss, this technology can be a boon, but it also raises ethical questions.</p>

<h2><strong>Re-animating the deceased</strong></h2>

<p>Nothing can bring back the people we've lost. However, this technology tries to capture a part of their essence, which can help provide you with some semblance of comfort.</p>

<p>There are many startups offering the service. One such company called DeepBrain AI has a programme called "Rememory".</p>

<p>As per the AI firm's head of development, Joseph Murphy, they create a digital replica of the deceased using hours of video.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/real-terminators-synthetic-self-healing-skin-likely-to-create-killer-robots-on-battlefield-601382">Real Terminators? Synthetic self-healing skin likely to create killer robots on battlefield</a></strong></p>

<p>"We don't create new content," says Murphy. The company says that it only tries to replicate what the person would say when alive.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company's "Rememory" programme&nbsp;adheres to a policy of not generating new content. This includes sentences or statements that the deceased individual would not have uttered or written during their lifetime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'll call it a niche part of our business. It's not a growth area for us," he said as per AFP.</p>

<p>Another company, StoryFile,&nbsp;follows the same idea.</p>

<p>The company's head, Stephen Smith, said, "Our approach is to capture the wonder of an individual, then use the AI tools."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's a very fine ethical area that we're taking with great care," he added.&nbsp;StoryFile, claims several thousand users already use its Life service.</p>

<p>Yet another similar service is called 'Replika'. It is developed by Russian engineer Eugenia Kyuda.</p>

<p>A few years back in 2015, Kyuda lost her best friend Roman to a tragic car accident. To deal with the grief, she developed a chatbot named 'Roman'. This chatbot was trained using thousands of text messages that her deceased friend had sent to loved ones.</p>

<p>After two years, Kyuda introduced Replika, a platform that provides highly advanced personalised conversational bots.</p>

<p>However, according to a spokesperson, Replika, unlike its predecessor Roman, "is not a platform made to recreate a lost loved one."</p>

<h2><strong>Is it only chatbots?</strong></h2>

<p>No. There are companies that are developing virtual clones.</p>

<p>One such company, Somnium Space, wants to create virtual clones of people while they are still alive. These clones would exist in a different world after the person passes away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a YouTube video announcing his product, Live Forever, CEO Artur Sychov acknowledged that this concept "It's not for everyone". He acknowledged that individual choices are involved.</p>

<p>"Do I want to meet my grandfather who's in AI? I don't know. But those who want that will be able to."</p>

<h2><strong>The ethical challenges</strong></h2>

<p>Thanks to regenerative technology, these AI avatars can say things the person never said in real life.</p>

<p>According to Joseph Murphy from DeepBrainAI, "These are philosophical challenges, not technical challenges".</p>

<p>"I would say that is a line right now that we do not plan on crossing, but who knows what the future holds?" he added.</p>

<p>Candi Cann, a professor at Baylor University who is studying this topic in South Korea, suggests that interacting with an AI clone of a person can be helpful for achieving closure, especially in "complicated" situations.</p>

<p>"I think it can be helpful to interact with an AI version of a person in order to get closure&nbsp;— particularly in situations where grief was complicated by abuse or trauma," said Cann.</p>

<p>Mari Dias, a professor of medical psychology at Johnson &amp; Wales University, asked her bereaved patients about their thoughts on virtual contact with their deceased loved ones. She revealed, that the&nbsp;most common answer is 'I don't trust AI. I'm afraid it's going to say something I'm not going to accept'. They express concerns and a lack of trust in AI. They fear that the AI avatar might say something they cannot accept, and they feel they have no control over the avatar's actions.</p>

AI attempts to bring dead back to life, give people closure

<p>A BBQ restaurant in China has sparked controversy after it exhibited a banner with a troubling message. A photograph from inside a restaurant in north-western China's Shaanxi province displays a picture of a woman in revealing clothes. Next to the figure, the tagline reads, "Get yourself drunk to give him a chance."</p>

<p>According to the South China Morning Post, a woman who works at the restaurant informed the Chinese online media outlet Gongfu Caijing that the phrase was only a "joke".&nbsp;She added that the banner had been up for years and had never received any criticism. “It depends on how you think about it. You don’t have to take it seriously,” she said.</p>

<p>The ad and the woman's response have sparked a debate. Some individuals on Chinese social media criticised the restaurant's motto for "not just being a bad influence, but instigating people to commit crimes," according to the SCMP.</p>

<p>According to Chinese criminal law, having sexual relations with drunk women without their consent constitutes rape, and the perpetrator can face imprisonment from three to 10 years.</p>

<p>Chinese media outlet Qihuan Video reported on May 30 that the local food agency had intervened in the matter. The restaurant removed the advertisement.</p>

<p>This is hardly the first instance of offensive promotional material being shared in China. Last month, Five Doctors, a women's wellness tonic firm, attempted to advertise its products by portraying hysterical women shrieking at potential consumers. The clip was criticised for including stereotypes of women being overly concerned about their ages.</p>

<p>"I will be a year older soon, so I'll drink this!" and "You all forced me to drink this!" were some of the phrases chanted by the women in the Five Doctors campaign.</p>

<p>According to a report in the Global Times, Five Doctors’ product has not been registered as a health food. This means that the company could be charged for false advertising. If the advert is found to be discriminating against women or insulting them, the companies involved could be fined as much as 1 million yuan ($143,713), as per a law firm.</p>

‘Drunk girl can give chance to a man’: A poster outside Chinese restaurant sparks debate

<p>If there is one social media handle that’s always on top of trends, it’s of the Mumbai Police. The department knows exactly how to garner attention and spread its message through its own spin on various things. This time, it was Spider-Man that caught the Mumbai Police’s interest. The movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was released in India on June 1 and from their latest post, it seems that Mumbai Police are a fan of the masked superhero.</p>

<p>Mumbai Police dropped a clip from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that pointed out how having too many riders on two-wheelers can be dangerous. The video showed Marvel comics villain Spot, talking to what appears to be a family of four commuting in one bike. Spot addresses the commuters and says, “That’s very dangerous”.</p>

<p>Mumbai Police shared the video with the caption, "No matter which multi-verse you are in, safety is always the canon." At the end of the clip, they included a pun that read, "Sp(r)ider safety".</p>

<p>The post was a hit, just like most things concerning Spider-Man are on the internet. The official account of Sony Pictures wrote, “And that's how you put rule breakers on the Spot.”</p>

<p>Some praised the dedication of the Mumbai Police to use unique ways to spread awareness. “The admin is on the next level,” a comment read.</p>

<p>One commented, “Wow multiverse”.</p>

<p>Some accused the police officers of giving away spoilers by revealing the scene. One person wrote, “Spoilers! Not fun.”</p>

<p>Many people also reprimanded the Mumbai police for obtaining the tape from the movie, which is currently playing in theatres, through illegal means. “Mumbai police is also using a pirated video clip of the movie and they say pirated movies download is crime,” a person commented.</p>

<p>Some defended the action of the police department using the clip from Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse. “For everyone who is commenting about media piracy, they have literally given Video Credits to Sony Pictures (it’s in the bottom left corner). In fact, Sony Pictures have themselves commented under this post as well,” an individual explained.</p>

If there is one social media handle that’s always on top of trends, it’s of the Mumbai Police. The department knows exactly how to garner attention and spread its message through its own spin on various things.

If there is one social media handle that’s always on top of trends, it’s of the Mumbai Police. The department knows exactly how to garner attention and spread its message through its own spin on various things. This time, it was Spider-Man that caught the Mumbai Police’s interest. The movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was released in India on June 1 and from their latest post, it seems that Mumbai Police are a fan of the masked superhero. Mumbai Police dropped a clip from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse that pointed out how having too many riders on two-wheelers can be dangerous. The video showed Marvel comics villain Spot, talking to what appears to be a family of four commuting in one bike. Spot addresses the commuters and says, “That’s very dangerous”. Mumbai Police shared the video with the caption, "No matter which multi-verse you are in, safety is always the canon." At the end of the clip, they included a pun that read, "Sp(r)ider safety". The post was a hit, just like most things concerning Spider-Man are on the internet. The official account of Sony Pictures wrote, “And that's how you put rule breakers on the Spot.” Some praised the dedication of the Mumbai Police to use unique ways to spread awareness. “The admin is on the next level,” a comment read. One commented, “Wow multiverse”. Some accused the police officers of giving away spoilers by revealing the scene. One person wrote, “Spoilers! Not fun.” Many people also reprimanded the Mumbai police for obtaining the tape from the movie, which is currently playing in theatres, through illegal means. “Mumbai police is also using a pirated video clip of the movie and they say pirated movies download is crime,” a person commented. Some defended the action of the police department using the clip from Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse. “For everyone who is commenting about media piracy, they have literally given Video Credits to Sony Pictures (it’s in the bottom left corner). In fact, Sony Pictures have themselves commented under this post as well,” an individual explained.

Mumbai Police's latest post has a Spider-Man connection; check it out

<p>A woman allegedly attempted to hire a hitman to murder the wife of a man she met on an online dating application. Melody Sasser, a 47-year-old environmental compliance specialist in the United States, stands accused of trying to get the wife of her hiking partner killed.</p>

<p>Sasser met with David Wallace on an online dating service, Match.com, around 2020. The two were close and even trekked together in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, southeast of Knoxville. Their relationship deteriorated last year when Wallace moved with his then-fiancée, Jennifer, to Prattville, Alabama.</p>

<p>“I hope you fall off a cliff and die,” Melody Sasser stated when she got to know about David Wallace's intention to marry Jennifer.</p>

<p>Sasser joined the Online Killer market website in December. The scam website, which is now defunct, claimed to offer services such as "kidnapping, extortion, disfigurement by acid attack, and sexual violence," in addition to straight-up murder.</p>

<p>On January 11, Sasser, who worked for truck stop chain Pilot Flying J, sent the website $9,750 (Rs 8,05,570.84) in Bitcoin in exchange for Jennifer's details. Sasser tracked her information from a fitness app where Jennifer would update her details. This later tipped off the police about her.</p>

<p>Melody Sasser wrote to the site administrator to speed up the work.&nbsp;“Waiting for 2 months and 11 days and the work is not done. 2 weeks ago you said that on this. The work has been done and will be completed in a week," the user Cattree wrote on March 22. Jennifer Wallace has alleged that Sasser used this nickname online while trying to post a hit on her. "The work is still not completed. Is it necessary to delegate this task to someone else? Will it be finished? What is the reason for the delay, and when will it be completed?" the post added. &nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The hitman later turned down the assignment because it was "too risky".<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sasser no longer works for Pilot Flying J. “This is a personal matter that has nothing to do with Pilot Company's business," company spokeswoman Stephanie Myers said. “We are taking all necessary steps and cooperating fully with law enforcement in this matter." All further enquiries should be made to the appropriate authorities’’.</p>

<p>On April 27, the Department of Homeland Security was notified of the threats against Jennifer Wallace. Investigators worked with the couple to offer safety and find down the person who wanted her dead. Sasser was apprehended and detained on May 18. She is being held in custody, pending a court appearance on Thursday. If convicted of murder-for-hire, she faces up to ten years in prison.</p>

<p>Delving into her Instagram feed, one can easily depict Jiwon’s love for everything Indian, including the country’s cinema, cuisine and much more. She appears to be a fan of Bollywood movies and songs. She is also learning Hindi to connect well with the people here in India.</p>

<p>Earlier, the influencer visited Rishikesh. Expressing her excitement to visit the pious place, Jiwon wrote, “First day in Rishikesh. I wore New kurti and made a vlog after a long time.. I loved the places a lot !!!I’m so excited for tomorrow as well. Good night, beautiful people.” In the picture, she is in a traditional suit for her temple visit.</p>

<p>If you are a space enthusiast, the Milky Way Photographer of the Year might just be the thing you need to see. The competition features photos from all over the globe capturing the beauty and complexity of the night sky. The photos were taken in locations like Namibia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Hosted by photography blog Capture the Atlas, this year’s images were revealed on Wednesday. All we can say is that the 25 winning images can leave you stunned by the magnificence present in the universe.</p>

<p>“Modern cameras can capture vibrant details and colours in the night sky beyond what our eyes can see. However, what really matters in any great image is the photographer behind the camera, who provides the idea, plan, and creativity to bring the image to life,” Capture the Atlas stated on its blog.</p>

<p>The first photo in the set is from Yemen’s Socotra. The stars are captured from between the trees. The sky is coloured in hues of pink and purple. The image will surely leave you awestruck.</p>

<p>The second picture is from Argentina’s Cafayate Desert. The vast emptiness adds a stark contrast to the brightly lit sky.</p>

<p>The other photos similarly capture the Milky Way in all its glory. All the photos can be found at Capture the Atlas’s website.</p>

<p>If you are a space photography fan, Capture the Atlas blog also has some tips to capture the Milky Way on your camera. This includes keeping the aperture to the widest possible setting. Make sure that the exposure is between 3200 and 6400. “Generally, the best time of day to see the Milky Way is between 00:00 and 5:00 on nights with a new moon during the Milky Way season,” the blog stated. Other important factors to consider are the sunrise/sunset time, Milky Way visibility and the phase of the moon.</p>

<p>A man in China was sacked from his job for spending excessive time in the toilet during work. The employee used to spend up to six hours a day in the restroom citing health issues. He challenged his employer’s decision in a court which called the termination justified, reported South China Morning Post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The employee, having the surname Wang, joined the company in 2006 and wasn’t on a fixed-term contract since 2013. Wang’s frequent visits to the loo began in December 2014 when he underwent a medical treatment for an anal problem. The employee’s treatment turned out to be successful but, according to him, the pain did not end and he was compelled to use the bathroom after short intervals, the report added.</p>

<p>Soon after getting the treatment, Wang started spending three to six hours in the restroom every day. His company’s records revealed that Wang visited the loo two to three times a shift between September 7 and September 17, 2015. This brought his total visits to the toilet during the period to 22.</p>

<p>Wang would spend anywhere between 47 minutes to over three hours in the washroom, which eventually led to his termination in September 2015. The company ended Wang’s employment due to reasons including early departures and unauthorised absence from work, said the report.</p>

<p>Disgruntled after losing his job, Wang knocked the doors of the court in a bid to get reinstated. But Wang’s efforts went in vain when the court ruled that his termination was beyond reasonable physiological needs. The court also said that the employer’s decision of firing Wang was legal and justified.</p>

<p>The incident elicited a lot of reactions on Chinese social media where one user said that “being sick deserves sympathy” but a person should not use it as an excuse. Another commented, “It’s like being paid to use the loo”, according to the report.</p>

<p>One person said that no employer would tolerate such behaviour if the employee spends “fours out of an eight-hour working day in the lavatory”.<br />

<p>An online fraud scheme run via WhatsApp link and a fraudulent app fuelled by a rumours promising substantial profits from buying virtual animals, like pigs, ducks etc., has cost hundreds of thousands of rupees to villagers in India's state of Bihar. As reported by Boom Decode, the scheme had lured people to invest&nbsp;in pigs and other livestock online through a game, with the expectation of high returns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here's all you need to know:</p>

<h2><strong>How it all started</strong></h2>

<p>The origins of the online scam can be traced back to a WhatsApp message that circulated in Bihar, claiming that purchasing animals online could yield profits of up to thousands of rupees within a few months. The message propagated the idea that an online game called ‘Smile Rancher’ helped a middle-aged man win big by "investing" in the online purchase of livestock. As per the claims, the man won INR 20 lakh or $2 million.</p>

<h2><strong>The scheme</strong></h2>

<p>The report quotes an 18-year-old victim of the scheme,&nbsp;Suraj Kumar who revealed that people had to create an account by entering a six-digit password. Once that was done, they would find pictures of dozens of animals which they could buy.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/bird-flu-fowls-the-mood-kills-nearly-9000-marine-creatures-in-chile-france-develops-vaccine-for-ducks-596812">Bird flu 'fowls' the mood, kills nearly 9,000 marine creatures in Chile, France develops vaccine for ducks</a></strong></p>

<p>After paying for the purchase, all they had to do was log in everyday and click on the animal. This would result in them getting paid a certain amount in the app's wallet.</p>

<p>"The most expensive was the peacock, which cost Rs 50,000. It would earn Rs 3,000 a day. Duck was the cheapest one which cost Rs 5,000 rupees, the app claimed to offer Rs 400 for it every day," said Kumar.</p>

<p>"One had to log in every day and click on the animal or bird that was bought. The earnings on the animals would come in the wallet of the account which was created in the app," he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Could this money be withdrawn?</strong></h2>

<p>Yes, but most times people would receive a server error.</p>

<p>The maximum limit for withdrawal from the application wallet was Rs&nbsp;3000,&nbsp;however, people who purchased and bred these virtual animals said they would very often get error messages on attempting to withdraw money.</p>

<p>However, some people successfully withdrew small amounts of money. This only helped give people false hope.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the word spread, more individuals became interested in investing and many people borrowed money or sold assets to enter the market.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But one day the app just stopped working.</p>

<h2><strong>Who owns ‘Smile Rancher’ and why haven’t app stores like Google Play Store or Apple App Store taken any action?</strong></h2>

<p>As per transaction details accessed by Decode, the money people would spend on these virtual animals would go to the account of Sewing SKY India Pvt Limited — an unlisted company which according to the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs website deals in fabrics and is registered in Telangana Hyderabad and belongs to Gangadhar Pathri and Ajay Kumar Pathri.</p>

<p>Application stores like Google Play Store or the Apple AppStore have been unable to take any action because the application is not available on these platforms. People downloaded the application via a specific link shared on WhatsApp.</p>

<p>The app is now defunct.</p>

<h2><strong>Who sent them the message?</strong></h2>

<p>As per the villagers, a man called Bhishma Pratap&nbsp;spread these rumours. They say that Pratap claimed that his uncle was the one who won Rs 20,00,000 ($24,190).</p>

<p>For those interested in earning extra money, Pratap created a WhatsApp group named "Ranchers no. 1".&nbsp;As the admin of the group, he started adding more and more villagers, he then sent the forwarded application&nbsp;link to the group, which had more than 60 members. Pratap left the group the same day the application stopped working.</p>

<h2><strong>How did so many people fall for the scam?</strong></h2>

<p>The application called itself a "breeding management investment company from the United States."&nbsp;</p>

<p>It noted that was involved in "offline investment promotion for major breeding pastures and looking for investors who work part-time in the breeding industry".</p>

<p>It further claimed that after 2020, i.e., the pandemic, the company&nbsp;started doing its business online and started seeking people from all over the world to join the breeding industry and "make money together".</p>

<p>For residents of the small Bihar village of Maulanagar, this seemed like a good idea to earn some extra money. Most of the village residents belong to a socially marginalised community called the Musahars.</p>

<h2><strong>Has anyone filed a complaint?</strong></h2>

<p>Kasim Khan, a self-proclaimed victim of the scam, reportedly took action against the fraudulent company by filing a complaint with the Consumer Complaints Court on July 22nd 2022. In his complaint, Khan stated that he had invested Rs 55,000 in&nbsp;the scheme and attempted to withdraw the amount after two days, but was unsuccessful despite multiple attempts. He alleges that the company, Breeding Management, had now ceased operations and had deceived thousands of individuals through their online scam.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Was it just the one Bihar village that got duped?</strong></h2>

<p>Unfortunately no, the app has reportedly spread far from Bihar and has reached Assam.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The people of the small Bihar village got duped in February 2022, and in early July last year, a gym trainer in Guwahati Assam also received the link to that game. He and his colleagues invested in the app and lost thousands of rupees.</p>
