ایک طرف ہم پاکستان کی سفارتی کامیابیوں اور میزائل پاور پر بڑا فخر کرتے ہیں دوسری طرف عالمی بنک کی ایک تازہ رپورٹ میں انکشاف کیا گیا ہے کہ پاکستان خطے کے اُن ممالک میں شامل ہے جہاں خط غربت سے نیچے افراد کی تعداد میں بہت اضافہ ہو چکا ہے اور خطے کے غریب ترین افراد کی تعداد میں سے 48 فیصد پاکستان میں رہتے ہیں

Thank you @iamlaeeqahmad for raising this constructively. Rs195 per 1,000 views is a benchmark, not a final verdict.

❗️ A 16-year-old was misled by Anthropic's Claude onto a route far beyond his abilities, North Shore Rescue says.
The AI's directions put him on a climbing route known as the "Widowmaker", where he was stranded below a cliff until a helicopter hoisted him out.
considering the ad-hoc nature of super intelligence, previously known as artificial intelligence, its hallucinations should raise the same alarms as a biolab leak.
I can keep going but I'm not surprised that none of y'all is bothered by any of this...
