Here’s How Apple iPhone 15 Could Change The AI Game

Apple’s iPhone 15 is set to embrace AI technology for enhanced user experience. The upcoming iPhone 15 is anticipated to make significant waves in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly within the Health app. Analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities predicts that Apple will take a proactive approach toward AI, positioning the iPhone 15 as a frontrunner in this technology.

While Apple already incorporates AI in areas like Siri and image processing, it lags behind competitors such as the Google Pixel 7, which prioritizes AI processing at its core. With the iPhone 15 primarily focusing on hardware upgrades, an AI-focused software update seems plausible.

Ives suggests that integrating AI could revolutionize the iOS Health app by offering personalized recommendations for workouts, meal plans, and exercise routines based on collected data, such as heart rate and sleep patterns. Additionally, AI could analyze a person’s speech or text messages to track their mood, although privacy concerns may arise.

Considering the growing importance of AI-driven technologies, exemplified by chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Bard, Apple’s future focus on AI appears justifiable. While Siri trails behind competitors like Google Assistant in terms of intelligence, Apple could concentrate on enhancing specific apps and services, such as the Health app, to gradually incorporate AI features that feel seamless and unobtrusive. With the Apple September Event on the horizon, where the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to be unveiled, we eagerly await witnessing how AI integration unfolds in Apple’s latest devices.

What Makes Karachi Among The ‘Least Livable Cities’?

What Makes Karachi Among The 'Least Livable Cities'?
Image Source: Euro News

According to the latest Global Livability Index 2023 published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, has been classified as one of the top five ‘least livable’ urban centers globally. Out of the 173 cities assessed, Karachi is positioned at a challenging 169th place, with only Lagos, Algiers, Tripoli, and Damascus receiving lower rankings. This means that you might be believing that Karahi is getting extremely unlivable but now it’s officially announced.

However, what sets Karachi apart is its unique but disappointing representation as the sole Pakistani city featured in this index. The EIU’s comprehensive analysis primarily focuses on evaluating cities’ post-Covid recovery, examining various crucial aspects of living conditions. These include:

  • Stability
  • Healthcare
  • Culture and Environment
  • Education
  • Infrastructure

These results highlight the significant room for improvement in Karachi’s overall livability, emphasizing the pressing need to address challenges and enhance the city’s quality of life for its residents.

Marking Criteria 

The livability factors were evaluated on a scale of 1-100 and Karachi falls short with a score of 42.5. To assess the livability factor, scores ranging from 1 to 100 are compiled and analyzed, where 1 represents an intolerable living condition and 100 signifies an ideal situation.

Living Standard 

In the case of Karachi, it obtains an overall score of 42.5, which indicates a below-ideal living standard. Notably, the city’s performance is notably weak in terms of stability, receiving a score of 20, similar to the previous year, suggesting minimal improvement in this aspect. The healthcare sector receives a score of 50, the culture and environment score of 38.7, education at 75, and infrastructure at 51.8.

Track Record 

When examining the historical data on Karachi’s rankings in the EIU’s index, the city’s track record is far from satisfactory. In 2019, Karachi held the 136th position out of 140 cities surveyed, and no report was published for the year 2020. In 2022, it marginally improved to the 134th position out of 140 cities.

It is worth noting that the top-ranked cities on the index predominantly hail from Western Europe and Canada. The capital of Austria, Vienna, secures the first position for the second consecutive year, achieving a perfect score of 100 on four out of the five indicators but unfortunately, Karachi is now officially “unlivable”.

Why Are Some People Against Using Chat GPT

Image source: The Japan Times

Chat GPT, powered by advanced language models, has taken the world by storm with its ability to engage in human-like conversations. However, despite its popularity, there exists a subset of people who harbor disdain towards using this AI model. In this article, we delve into the reasons behind this love-hate relationship and shed light on the factors that contribute to the criticism surrounding Chat GPT.

1. Lack of Authentic Human Connection

One of the primary concerns expressed by critics is the absence of genuine human interaction when conversing with Chat GPT. While the model strives to simulate human-like responses, it isn’t very successful at that. It lacks the emotional depth and empathy that come naturally to human conversations. Some individuals prefer the authenticity and nuanced understanding that only human interactions can provide.

Image source: Analytics Insight

2. Potential for Misinformation and Bias

Chat GPT relies on vast amounts of training data, which can inadvertently introduce biases and perpetuate misinformation. Critics worry that the model’s responses may reinforce stereotypes or disseminate inaccurate information, leading to a loss of trust and credibility. The responsibility of fact-checking and ensuring accuracy often falls on the user, making some hesitant to fully embrace Chat GPT.

3. Ethical Concerns and Misuse

The powerful capabilities of Chat GPT raise ethical dilemmas. The technology can be misused for malicious purposes, such as generating fake news, impersonation, or engaging in harmful activities. These concerns highlight the need for responsible and ethical usage of Chat GPT to prevent its potential misuse.

4. Overreliance on AI

Detractors argue that an overreliance on AI-driven conversational agents like Chat GPT can lead to a decline in human communication skills. Excessive dependence on such technology may hinder the development of interpersonal connections and critical thinking abilities. Some individuals prefer traditional, human-centered communication methods as a way to foster genuine connections.

Image source: BBC

The love-hate relationship with Chat GPT stems from a range of concerns, including the lack of authentic human connection, potential misinformation and bias, ethical considerations, and fears of overreliance on AI. While Chat GPT undoubtedly offers remarkable conversational abilities, it is crucial to address these concerns and continue refining the technology to align with user expectations and societal needs.

By acknowledging the limitations and striving for responsible usage, we can maximize the benefits of Chat GPT while minimizing its drawbacks, fostering a more nuanced and informed approach to AI-driven conversational agents.

TikTok Upgrades Family Pairing For Teen Safety And Wellbeing

In Pakistan on July 13, 2023, TikTok, the renowned platform for short-form mobile videos, unveiled two significant initiatives dedicated to bolstering the safety and well-being of teenagers. In response to valuable input from parents and caregivers, TikTok has expanded the capabilities of its Family Pairing feature, now offering enhanced content filtering options. This empowering functionality allows parents and caregivers to customize the content encountered by their teenagers on the app.

Through the content filtering tool, caregivers gain the ability to curate a tailored viewing experience for their teens by selectively filtering out specific words, hashtags, and themes deemed inappropriate or unsuitable. Recognizing the unique needs of every teenager, TikTok empowers caregivers to establish a safer and more personalized environment within the app.

To ensure the development of a comprehensive and inclusive safety framework, TikTok collaborated with renowned experts, including the Family Online Safety Institute. Leveraging their expertise and insights, TikTok strikes a delicate balance between addressing caregivers’ concerns and respecting teenagers’ rights to engage and participate in the online world. As part of this commitment, TikTok provides transparency, allowing teenagers to view the keywords added by their caregivers. This transparency fosters open conversations about online boundaries and safety while promoting mutual understanding between teenagers and parents.

The new content filtering feature builds upon TikTok’s existing Content Levels system, designed to prevent mature or complex themes from reaching users between the ages of 13 and 17. By integrating personalized content filters for parents, TikTok strengthens its dedication to creating a safer and more suitable environment for teenagers on the platform.

In addition to Family Pairing, TikTok proudly introduces its Youth Council—an initiative aimed at giving young users a voice and actively involving them in shaping TikTok’s policies and features. Serving as a platform for teenagers to share insights, ideas, and concerns, the Youth Council empowers them to contribute to the ongoing development of a safer and more inclusive TikTok community.

As the leading destination for short-form mobile videos, TikTok remains committed to prioritizing the safety and well-being of its users, especially teenagers. With the introduction of enhanced Family Pairing features and the establishment of the Youth Council, TikTok takes proactive steps towards fostering a positive and responsible online experience for millions of users worldwide.

Could Swallowing Fecal Pills Improve Skin Cancer Therapy?

Could Swallowing Fecal Pills Improve Skin Cancer Therapy?

Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) from healthy donors are safe and show promise in improving response to immunotherapy in patients with advanced melanoma. According to a multi-center study from Lawson Health Research Institute, the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), and the Jewish General Hospital (JGH).

Fecal Pills For Cancer Therapy 

A patient had to take between 30 and 40 pills of frozen human excrement from healthy donors. The pills were checked for pathogens to get that healthy gut flora into them. According to scientists these pills have no taste or smell. However, getting past the notion that it might be somewhat repulsive is the major factor coming in the way of production.

“The connection between the microbiome, the immune system, and cancer treatment is a growing field in science,” explains Dr. Saman Maleki, a scientist at Lawson and London Regional Cancer Program who served as the senior author of the study. “This study aimed to harness microbes to improve outcomes for patients with melanoma.”

“In this study, we aimed to improve melanoma patients’ response to immunotherapy by improving the health of their microbiome through fecal transplants.” Said Dr. John Lenehan, Medical Oncologist at London Health Sciences Center.

“These exciting results add to a rapidly growing list of publications suggesting that targeting the microbiome may provide a major advance in the use of immunotherapy for our patients with cancer,” said Dr. Wilson H. Miller Jr. professor in the Departments of Medicine and Oncology at McGill University, in a press.

Trial Details 

The majority of patients who had immunotherapy and fecal transplants saw no negative side effects. Five patients did have uncomfortable episodes, and they stopped receiving treatment. 65 % of subjects who still displayed signs of retaining the healthy microbiota of the donors responded to immunotherapy.

The trial differs from past fecal transplant studies. Since it is the first to administer samples to cancer patients in the form of capsules. The authors claim that the capsules have contributed to their success in raising immunotherapy response rates.

Another phase 2 experiment is in progress. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of fecal transplants in treating various diseases, such as pancreatic cancer and lung cancer, will be examined in this study. Additionally, evaluating fecal transplants for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and HIV is being discussed.

Lahore To Raise 500-Foot Pakistani Flag, Surpassing India’s Record

Lahore To Raise 500-Foot Pakistani Flag, Surpassing India's Record

Pakistan now has an ambitious plan where Lahore is set to hoist a 500-foot flag, claiming the tallest in the region. Pakistan will literally raise the bar by unveiling the monumental 500-foot flag in Lahore, aiming to secure the title of the tallest flag in the region. Though this ambitious project comes with a hefty price tag of Rs. 400 million and will be shown in a grand flag-raising ceremony on Pakistan’s Independence Day in 2023.

Image Source: Muhammad Luqman

This plan is part of an ongoing “tallest flag” rivalry between Pakistan and India that commenced in 2017. It all began when India proudly hoisted a 360-foot flag at the Attari-Wagah border in March of that year. Pakistan swiftly responded by raising a 400-foot flag at the same border on its Independence Day in August 2017. India then raised the stakes once more, unveiling a towering 418-foot flag at the Indo-Pak border in Amritsar later that October. Now, Pakistan intends to take the lead by installing a 500-foot flag at the iconic Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore.

Opinions regarding this competition vary, with some viewing it as a patriotic display of national pride. However, critics argue that it is a misuse of taxpayer money and valuable resources. Concerns have also been raised about potential environmental and security implications associated with such colossal flags, as they could pose threats to birds and aircraft.

The 500-foot Pakistani Flag

The Punjab government is funding this remarkable project. The flag itself will be crafted from polyester fabric, weighing a staggering 800 kg. The flagpole, composed of steel and concrete, will boast a base diameter of 12 feet and taper to 4 feet at the top. Enhanced with LED lights and a sound system, the flag will be visible from a distance of 15 km.

The flag-raising ceremony is scheduled for August 14, 2023, commemorating the 76th anniversary of Pakistan’s independence. The event will be attended by government officials, esteemed dignitaries, and prominent celebrities, and will be broadcasted live nationwide, capturing the nation’s pride and celebration.

Pakistan-Owned Building In Washington D.C. Sold For $7.1 Million

Pakistan-Owned Building In Washington D.C. Sold For $7.1 Million

After months of dedicated efforts, Pakistan has successfully sold a historic building located in Washington D.C. for an impressive sum of $7.1 million, as reported recently. The property, which has remained vacant since 2003, found a new owner in the form of Hafeez Khan, a Pakistani businessman.

Originally owned by the Pakistan Embassy, the building underwent a downgrading of its property classification by the District of Columbia government, resulting in an increase in taxes based on its assessed value.

Renowned as the R Street building, this architectural gem had previously served as a chancery, but in late 2022, it was put up for auction, attracting three bids. Unfortunately, the bidding process was later canceled by Pakistani authorities without disclosing any specific reasons. The highest bid received amounted to an impressive $6.8 million, exceeding the pre-auction evaluation benchmark of $4.5 million.

Over the course of more than a decade, the building remained unoccupied, and in 2018, its diplomatic status was revoked, thereby making it liable for local government taxes. To compound matters further, earlier this year, local authorities downgraded the building’s status, resulting in additional financial burdens. Initially categorized as Class 2 (commercial property) in 2018 and 2019, it was subsequently reclassified as Class 3 (vacant property) from 2020 to 2022.

Finally, in April 2023, due to its deteriorated condition, the building was further downgraded to Class 4 by the Department of Buildings, which indicates a structure that poses potential threats to health, safety, or general welfare. Various factors, such as its state of repair, security, and protection against weather damage, influenced this classification.

It is noteworthy that Class 3 properties are subjected to a tax rate of $5 per $100 of assessed value, while Class 4 properties face a higher tax rate of $10 per $100 of assessed value. Despite a $7 million loan sanctioned in 2010 by then-Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani to fund repairs, the building’s condition continued to deteriorate due to insufficient maintenance.

Things You Can’t Do On Instagram Threads

Things You Can't Do On Instagram Threads
Source: Meaww

The Meta-owned social media app Threads, previously known as P92 or Barcelona, has gained significant traction since its official launch, attracting millions of users. However, while many users are exploring the app, individuals in the European Union remain engaged on other platforms such as Twitter, sharing their experiences and memes.

Twitter-Like Experience, with Some Missing Features

Threads offers a user experience similar to Twitter, allowing users to share their thoughts as threaded posts, interact with others through likes and comments, and repost content. However, the app lacks certain features commonly found on Twitter and other popular social media platforms.

No Bookmarking or Saving Posts

One noticeable absence on Threads is the inability to bookmark or save posts for later. In contrast to Instagram’s Collections feature, which enables users to save favorite posts and Reels, Threads does not offer this functionality. Several other social media platforms, including Twitter, LinkedIn, and Meta-owned Facebook, allow users to save posts for future reference.

How to use Instagram Threads: Getting started on Meta's new app | Evening Standard
SOurce: Evening Standard

Limited Search Functionality

Threads also suffers from limited search capabilities. While Twitter provides trending hashtags and topics, the search tab on Threads only displays a list of accounts to follow. Searching for specific content on Threads yields results matching user accounts, lacking the broader search options found on platforms like Instagram. Furthermore, Threads does not currently support hashtags, making it impossible to discover trending content using this feature.

Profile Deletion Challenges

Unlike many other social media apps, Threads does not allow users to directly delete their profiles. Users can log in to Threads using their existing Instagram accounts, importing their bio and links. However, deleting a Threads profile requires deleting the entire Instagram account. Alternatively, users can temporarily deactivate their Threads profile, hiding their profile, threads, replies, and likes until reactivation.

Lack of Direct Messaging

One notable limitation of the Threads app is the absence of direct messaging functionality. Users cannot send messages to accounts they follow and are limited to interaction through comments. In contrast, popular social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn offer users the ability to send direct messages to individuals and groups.

Exploring Content on Threads

The Home tab serves as the primary avenue for exploring new content on Threads. However, it is crucial to note that Threads is a relatively new platform with a smaller user base compared to Twitter and other apps.

While Threads offers a unique microblogging experience, it falls short in several areas, lacking essential features present on other social media platforms. This is particularly surprising given that Threads is developed by Meta, a company with extensive experience running Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. As Threads continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether Meta will address these limitations and introduce missing features to enhance the app’s functionality and compete more effectively with its rivals.

iPhone 14 Pro & Plus: Apple’s Battery Life & Crash Detection Ads

Source: AppleInsider

Apple has recently unveiled two new ads on its YouTube channel, showcasing the outstanding features of its upcoming iPhone models. The first ad, “Battery for Miles,” emphasizes the long-lasting battery life of the iPhone 14 Plus, while the second ad, “Crash Test,” demonstrates the Crash Detection feature of the iPhone 14 Pro.

“Battery for Miles” Ad: Extending Battery Life

In this one-minute ad, titled “Battery for Miles,” we witness a man driving a tractor along an endless road, pulling a gigantic pumpkin. The background music, Ludacris’ “Two Miles An Hour,” adds a playful touch to the scene. Positioned in front of the steering wheel is an iPhone 14 Plus running Apple Maps, guiding the man with the message, “In 102 miles, continue straight.”

As the man raises an eyebrow in surprise, the tagline appears: “Our longest lasting battery life ever. Relax, it’s iPhone 14 Plus.” This ad aims to highlight the exceptional battery life of the iPhone 14 Plus, reassuring users that they can rely on it for extended periods without worrying about running out of power.

“Crash Test” Ad: Enhancing Safety with Crash Detection

The second ad, “Crash Test,” takes place in a hangar where a car crash test is in progress. Set to the tune of Gene Chandler’s “You Can’t Hurt Me No More,” the slow-motion collision focuses on a crash test dummy inside the vehicle. Eventually, the car comes to a halt. Positioned on the dashboard is an iPhone 14 Pro, displaying the message, “It looks like you’ve been in a crash.”

The tagline then appears: “Crash Detection can sense a severe car crash and automatically call 911. Relax, it’s iPhone 14 Pro.” This ad highlights the safety aspect of the iPhone 14 Pro, showcasing its ability to detect and respond to severe car crashes automatically.

Looking Ahead: iPhone 15 Series Anticipation

While these ads celebrate the exciting features of the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro, it is worth noting that customers considering purchasing a new iPhone may want to wait for the upcoming iPhone 15 series, expected to launch in September. The iPhone 15 series is anticipated to bring various changes, including the introduction of Dynamic Island for all models, a transition from Lightning to USB-C connectivity, and the inclusion of a Periscope lens in at least one of the Pro models. To delve deeper into the details of the upcoming iPhones, interested individuals can refer to dedicated guides on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple’s recent ads effectively highlight the remarkable battery life of the iPhone 14 Plus and the Crash Detection feature of the iPhone 14 Pro. These ads showcase the innovative capabilities of the devices, instilling confidence in potential customers regarding their reliability and safety features. However, individuals in the market for a new iPhone may want to consider waiting for the highly anticipated iPhone 15 series, which is expected to bring significant improvements and new features to Apple’s flagship smartphones.

Ameer Gilani Discusses Red Flags In A Woman

Ameer Gilani, in a recent interview, sat down for a long Q&A session. The interview which ran for over an hour catered to some of the most interesting questions. During a series of questions, the host asked the actor what he thinks about red flags in women.

“I do think over possessiveness. Asking about why didn’t you call, why didn’t you send a text. Where are you, who are you meeting? If I’m with my friends and in the middle, I get a call asking about my whereabouts then it is a huge turnoff. You have to give space. Of course, if someone is asking out of concern then that’s a different story.”

“I have a lot of female friends and my partner should be able to understand that. She should never expect me to break off with them.”

Another red flag in women according to the actor is if “someone tries to mold him into what she wants.” 

He then added that “over possessiveness, manipulative behavior, and anger are some of the things which I hate in a human being.”

“I want my life partner to be my best friend. I want my partner to be my best friend and that’s the most important quality I think. I want to be able to share everything with her and listen to her, I want to know about her. I don’t want her to hesitate just because she is marrying me, she has to maintain a certain demeanor.”

“I want her to be authentic as she can be because that’s how I’m. I can’t be fake or pretend.”

While talking about the societal norms he said that he doesn’t believe in any of them. He wants her life partner to be as natural as she can be. Further adding,

“I want her to be able to talk to me about whatever she has on her mind and in her heart. I would always like my partner to share if she doesn’t like something about my home or family. I would always raise my voice for my wife because I would want my sister’s husband to do the same for her.”
