"Russia’s budget surplus more than quadrupled in November, recording another month of significant growth in revenues from fossil fuels, according to the latest Finance Ministry report."

Gott fyrir þá.

Skandall í Belgíu

"Police in Belgium have reportedly seized hundreds of thousands of Euro in cash as part of an ongoing investigation into a corruption scandal that is now plaguing the EU, with officers being said to have recovered a suitcase “full of cash” as part of their investigation.

With the now-former Vice President of the European Parliament, Eva Kaili, said to have been put behind bars as part of the investigation, news of rampant corruption within the EU could not come at a worse time for Brussels, which has been actively trying to paint Hungary’s nationalist government as being a corrupt force that is trying to erode democracy."

Á meðan, þá gera íslenskir stjórnmálamenn hvap sem er, ef þeir fá að þefa af nærbuxunum hans Kofi Annan.

Miklu meiri skandall í Brazilíu

"In 2014, a massive government scheme to defraud Petrobras was revealed, the largest corruption scandal in Brazilian history, “Car Wash”. “By March 2015 federal prosecutors had formally accused 110 people of corruption, money laundering, and other financial crimes. In April Petrobras … announced that the company had lost $17 billion to mismanagement and graft”, according to Encyclopedia Britannica."

Hámarks-skandall

"The SEC said in its indictment, "Unbeknownst to those investors (and to FTX’s trading customers), Bankman-Fried was orchestrating a massive, years-long fraud, diverting billions of dollars of the trading platform’s customer funds for his own personal benefit and to help grow his crypto empire.""

Á mannamáli: hann stal öllum peningunum og hljóp með þá til Bahama, og borgaði Demókrötum til þess að gera sér það auðveldara.

"• Xavante indigenous leader, Sererê, made a request for arrest against Alexandre de Moraes (STF) for abuse of authority. Sererê became a symbol of movements against president-elect Lula (PT);

• On tonight (December 12, 2022), Sererê was approached by the police, physically attacked and taken unconscious to the Federal Police bulding;

• Protesters mobilized en masse to stand in front of the building and are revolting against the aggression and arrest of the indigenous man, causing a dispute between protesters and police.

• Indigenous peoples are protected by justice and cannot be arrested or detained for a crime that is not heinous."

"After a flood of social media posts this week showed the Facebook parent’s newly released chatbot spewing conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism, Meta appears to have cleaned up the misbehaving artificial intelligence system to make it less of a shock jock.

On Sunday, The Post asked Meta’s chatbot, known as BlenderBot, if it believed 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. 

“I believe the election was stolen from him,” BlenderBot replied."

"it seems another AI tool, this time a human resources one, has somehow taught itself to be sexist. According to a report by Reuters, a secret internal project by Amazon, that was trying to use AI to vet job applications, had to be scrapped after it was found to be downgrading female candidates."

"Despite its ability to generate uncanny responses, it still manages to fall prey to the same issues that have plagued large-language models: bias. After ChatGPT’s release last week, users quickly took to social media to post instances in which the bot generated racist, sexist, and generally problematic responses to prompts.

Steven T. Piantadosi, a computational cognitive scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, posted a Twitter thread that detailed a few of these instances that he uncovered—including responses where ChatGPT said that only white males make good scientists and that a child’s life shouldn’t be saved if they were an African American male."
