The Top 10 Most Littered Plastic Items in the United States


Plastic when first appeared, it attracted attention as the miracle material. Plastics made it possible for man to reach moon, it modernized medicine, and helped make computers and cellphones possible.

Interpreting Google’s AI Ambitions


Anyone who has tested ChatGPT can get a sense of the potential of generative AI — even in the earliest stages of this technology.

 

The excitement around AI was rising throughout 2022, and has reached a fever pitch today.

 

We have seen hype cycles swell around specific technologies in the past. Exapmles include Blockchain, Metaverse, NFTs, and the list goes on.

Google is at front position of this movement which on the inside reoriented itself around AI years ago, so, so the recent letter published by Google CEO Sundar Pichai is significant.

 

After all, billions of people from around the world use Google Search for learning, and Alphabet is one of the world’s most valuable, powerful tech companies. But before we “read between the lines” of the letter, it is worth coming back to the larger context that this letter addresses.

In Which Countries Can You Buy Residence Permits?

 

There are many ways through which one can obtain citizenship of a country. Simplest ways are to be born in that country or being the descendent of one of its citizens. Other ways to get a permit is through marriage, adoption or naturalization - the latter of which is based on an application-related executive decision. Before the outburst of the Ukraine war, additional "citizenship by investment" (CBI) programs were also offered in the three EU member states of Cyprus, Malta and Bulgaria. These are more commonly referred to as "golden passports.” With investment of a certain amount of money, it becomes possible to obtain citizenship without the bureaucratic hurdles.
