A recent report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has sent shockwaves around the globe, predicting that 92 million jobs will be lost worldwide by 2030 due to automation. The report, titled "The Future of Jobs," highlights the significant impact of technological advancements, geopolitical tensions, and the green transition on the job market. According to the report, 41% of employers plan to downsize their workforce by 2030, resulting in the loss of 92 million jobs. The fastest declining roles are those that can be automated, such as ticket clerks, administrative assistants, cashiers, bank tellers, and data entry workers. These jobs are expected to disappear in the next five years, replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) at a fraction of the cost. However, the report also highlights the creation of new jobs, with 78 million new roles expected to emerge by 2030. This change will offset the job losses, but it also means that workers will need to acquire new skills to remain ...

Los Angeles, California - As the devastating wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles, social media users have found an unlikely culprit: ChatGPT. The AI chatbot, known for its ability to generate human-like responses, has been blamed for the water shortage that exacerbated the wildfires. But is ChatGPT really responsible for the fires? To understand the situation, let's take a closer look at how ChatGPT works. The AI chatbot uses massive power-hungry servers to generate responses, which in turn require large amounts of water to cool. With 300 million weekly active users, ChatGPT's water consumption is substantial. However, experts say that ChatGPT is not the primary cause of the water shortage. The real issue lies in the city's infrastructure, which is poorly designed to handle the demands of fast-moving wildfires. The municipal water system is unable to keep up with the overwhelming demand, leading to fire hydrants running dry. While ChatGPT may not be directly respon...

In a shocking revelation, a recent report has exposed the harsh reality facing MBA graduates from top business schools. Despite the prestige and reputation associated with institutions like Harvard, Northwestern Kellogg, and Chicago Booth, a significant number of graduates are struggling to find employment. The report reveals that 23% of Harvard MBA students were jobless three months after graduating, a stark increase from 20% in 2023 and 10% in 2022. This trend is not unique to Harvard, as other top business schools in the US are facing similar challenges. At Northwestern Kellogg, for instance, 13% of graduates were jobless in 2024, triple the number from previous years.   So, what's behind this decline? Experts point to several factors, including the rise of artificial intelligence, an oversupply of MBA graduates, and a shift in demand towards specialization.   The increasing use of AI in various industries has led to a reduction in manpower requirements, making it chall...

In a shocking revelation, a recent report has exposed the staggering cost of visa rejections for Indian travelers. In 2024 alone, Indians lost a whopping ₹664 crore (approximately $77 million) due to visa rejections.

In a shocking move, the Saudi Arabian authorities canceled the visas of 264 Nigerian passengers who arrived at King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah on Sunday. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and concerns over discrimination against Nigerians and Africans in general.   According to reports, the passengers, who were traveling on a Nigerian airline, Air Peace, were denied entry into Saudi Arabia without any explanation. The Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia intervened, and after negotiations, the Saudi authorities agreed to allow 87 passengers to enter the country, while the remaining 177 were forced to return to Nigeria.   The reasons behind the visa cancellations are still unclear, but speculation is rife that the Saudi authorities may be trying to protect their national carrier from competition from Nigerian airlines. There are also concerns that the move may be motivated by discriminatory attitudes towards Nigerians and Africans. This incident is not isolated, as t...

  In a highly anticipated decision, the US Supreme Court has ruled against TikTok's challenge to a law that would force the app's sale or ban in the United States. The ban is set to take effect on January 19th, leaving 170 million creators and users in limbo.   At the heart of the controversy is TikTok's ownership by Chinese company ByteDance, which has raised concerns about national security and data sharing with Beijing. Washington has given the app an ultimatum: sell to a US-based entity or face a ban.   However, in a surprising twist, US President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his desire to save TikTok. Trump, who was instrumental in orchestrating the app's downfall, now plans to issue an executive order that could either hold or suspend the ban for 90 days. This move would give the new administration time to explore options to keep the app alive. Trump has also invited TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew to his inauguration, signaling a potential change of heart. Me...

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has sparked intense debate after announcing the planned execution of 170 prisoners on death row. The prisoners, convicted of armed robbery and urban banditry, are set to face capital punishment in a bid to curb the rising insecurity and violence in the country.   The Context: Congo's Insecurity Crisis The DRC has been grappling with severe insecurity and violence for decades, with over 100 armed groups operating in the country. The notorious M23 group, backed by Rwanda, has been a significant contributor to the chaos. Additionally, local urban gangs, known as "kolunas" or "urban bandits," have been wreaking havoc in cities across the country.   The Government's Response: Reinstating the Death Penalty In March 2024, the Congolese government announced the reinstatement of capital punishment, which had been abolished in 1981. The decision was made to combat escalating violence, gang-related rebellion, and collaborati...

In a bizarre series of events, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has accepted a challenge to fight Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The challenge came after Musk tweeted about Maduro's re-election, calling him a "dictator" and accusing him of rigging the election. Musk's tweets sparked a response from Maduro, who challenged Musk to a fight. Musk, never one to back down from a challenge, accepted the offer and even raised the stakes, saying that if he wins, Maduro must resign, and if he loses, he will give Maduro a free trip to Mars.   This is not the first time Musk has challenged a world leader to a fight. In 2022, he challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a duel, which Putin ignored. Musk also challenged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a cage match in 2023, but the two never made it to the ring.   So, why is Musk so obsessed with Maduro? It's likely because Maduro represents everything Musk dislikes about socialism. Musk has been vocal about his di...

The Chinese government has described the outbreak as a "pneumonia of unknown origin," but experts believe it may be related to the human metapneumovirus (HMPV).   The outbreak has been reported in multiple cities across China, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Inner Mongolia. While the exact number of cases is unknown, due to China's lack of transparency, the scale of the outbreak is believed to be massive.

Their investigations show that Covid 19 virus was caused by a lab leak.   The new virus called HMPV is a common and highly contagious virus that primarily affects children and adolescents. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, which can lead to severe...

According to officials, a Chinese hacking group has penetrated the US telecommunications system, gaining access to private text messages and phone conversations of Americans. The breach, known as the "Salt Typhoon Cyber Breach," has raised concerns about the security of sensitive information. Experts warn that hackers can use intercepted text messages to scam individuals out of money or steal personal data. To minimize the risk of hacking, the FBI and the Cyber security and Infrastructure Security Agency recommend using encrypted messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal. These apps offer end-to-end encryption, making it more difficult for hackers to intercept messages. In light of the breach, experts advise a...
