I am honoured to announce that the historic ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ has been electronically signed today between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Memorandum has been signed by honourable Presidents of both the countries and also endorsed by me as the mediator. The signing of this agreement at the highest level of the respective governments demonstrates the commitment of both sides to a diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Islamabad MoU shall enter into force with immediate effect and as a first step, Islamic Republic of Iran will instantly reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the United States of America will immediately lift the naval blockade.
I offer my heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump whose steadfast commitment to diplomacy and preference for peaceful resolution have once again helped end a conflict that could have led to devastating consequences for the region and beyond. I also commend the dedication and tireless efforts of the United States negotiating team, including J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for their invaluable contributions to this achievement.
I express my profound respect and appreciation to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and President Masoud Pezeshkian for their wisdom, foresight and statesmanship in embracing the cause of peace. I also wish to recognize the efforts of the Iranian negotiating team, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi and Eskandar Momeni, whose patience, perseverance and commitment to constructive engagement were instrumental in bringing this agreement to fruition.
I would especially like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and constructive engagement of the leadership of the State of Qatar in helping reach this point. I also highly commend the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Türkiye and the Arab Republic of Egypt for their indispensable role and invaluable contributions in this regard.
I would also like to make special mention of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, whose tireless efforts, selfless dedication and instrumental role were critical in facilitating this breakthrough and advancing the cause of peace and regional stability.
May this Memorandum of Understanding serve as an enduring foundation for greater understanding, mutual respect and shared prosperity for the complete region.

@mBongo@clemenjes@KennedyMmari@Afruturist I understood.
The issue is we dont think he can use AI to do those things, essentially saying he is lying or the atleast exaggerating his experience with AI or that an average CPA can do those things better than AI?
He put on a list of specific things based on his experience.
@mBongo@clemenjes@KennedyMmari@Afruturist Going back to the accounting and CPAs with AI. Are we really comparing the amount of knowledge, on accounting that AI can be exposed to, to an average CPA holder? Are we really doing that?
@mBongo@clemenjes@KennedyMmari It's an evolving discussion, so long as we dont get out of the main topic I say we are well within the program. I am not looking to win a debate or convert you, hence me conceding a point on hallucinations. Just here for different takes on a very interesting and important topic.
@mBongo@clemenjes@KennedyMmari@Afruturist Come on bro. You have no idea/opinion on where AI is heading? Am not asking you for a prophecy, just your take given the current available information on AI. But it's okay, if you say it's impossible to tell then who am I to suggest otherwise.
@Afruturist Kaka eventually there is going to be somekind of replacement. Yes, people are worried, and get uncomfortable thinking about it and their feelings are hurt when you say it aloud BUT that's where the ball is rolling and there is no stopping it. Humans are still going to be humans.
@mBongo@clemenjes@KennedyMmari I will give you that. I agree. But what conclusions are we trying to make from that then?
At the dawn of Internet, would you have drawn similar conclusions based on the its "limitations" at the time (lots of people did). Look where are today.
@clemenjes@KennedyMmari Google the meaning of hallucinations first. Words have specific meaning, you can't just decide what they mean just because you feel like it.
@Afruturist@AndreAden70@mBongo With amplified abilities, business will do what business always do, cut off excess fat. Hapo ndo tunakuja kwenye "replace" where the discussion becomes a bit emotional. If work load of 5 CPAs can suddenly done by 2 CPAs, is that replacement? 🤔
@AndreAden70@mBongo@Afruturist Yes, but its a bit nuanced. Just like with farming, when machinery (AI) can do most of the heavy lifting, you dont need a lot of people to work the same land. The world will need CPAs but with a slightly different skill set added. And possibly, not as many for the same workload.
@mBongo Physical verification? Regulatory filings? Ethics in conflict of interest? Are you really telling me these things have not been automated? You are framing this as if its an issue of CPAs vs AI but am telling you its about CPAs vs AI enhance CPAs. In a place of 5, only 2 would do
@mBongo@Afruturist Accountants (as an example), aren't going to be competing with AI. They are going to be competing with other accountants who use AI. That's correct way of looking at things.
@mBongo@Afruturist If at the moment, AI can do just 50%, of "accounting" even if imperfectly, that is a enough for people in that industry to realignment themselves accordingly.
