Electric Vehicles: batteries discharged

The end of internal combustion engines is scheduled for 2035 in the EU and Switzerland, yet electric cars sales are not taking off mainly due to their steep prices as well as drivers’ apprehensions surrounding the sparse recharging infrastructure. The mounting skepticism toward electric vehicles has cost Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr his position, last week, as he had heavily invested in electric vehicles only to reverse course. Apple has also recently halted its electric vehicle project after sinking USD 1 bn into it. For those who take the step, the preference goes to affordable Chinese models. China’s BYD has already overtaken Tesla becoming the world's largest EV manufacturer. In the face of this Chinese wave, western manufacturers are struggling to keep pace, and Tesla’s profitability has been declining due to the massive price reductions it has been making. In light of this shifting landscape, a question arises: should Europe and Switzerland reevaluate their strategy and consider easing or postponing their ban on combustion engines cars?

With the right prompt fine-tuning, everyone can create seemingly real images or make the voices of prominent political or economic figures and entertainers say anything they want. While creating a deepfake is not a criminal offense on its own, many governments are nevertheless moving towards stronger regulation when using artificial intelligence to prevent harm to the parties involved.

LinkedIn plans to add gaming to its platform

LinkedIn is breaking into a totally new area: gaming. TechCrunch has learned and confirmed that LinkedIn is working on a new games experience. It will be doing so by tapping into the same wave of puzzle-mania. App researchers have started to find code that points to the work LinkedIn is doing. One of them, Nima Owji, said that one idea LinkedIn appears to be experimenting with involves player scores being organised by places of work, with companies getting “ranked” by those scores. A spokesperson for LinkedIn has confirmed that it is working on gaming, but said there is as yet no launch date. “We’re playing with adding puzzle-based games within the LinkedIn experience to unlock a bit of fun, deepen relationships, and hopefully spark the opportunity for conversations,” the spokesperson said in a message to TechCrunch. “Stay tuned for more!” source : techcrunch
