For a long time now, PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola companies are on a wild ride of graphic design one-upmanship this year. It seems like every other month, one of the companies is launching a total redesign of one of its soft drink brands. The result is a dizzying array of rebrands including Pepsi, 7Up, Lilt, Minute Maid, and Fanta.

Now, creative agency Buck and brand design agency Bulletproof have joined forces to deliver a colorful new identity for Mirinda, with a brighter green logo and a bold ‘M’ at the forefront. The rebrand includes work on each of the 50 flavors, with their own color palettes and illustrations representing their distinct patterns.

PKR Hits Record Low As Economic Crisis Deepens

Pakistan has been facing severe economic challenges in recent years, with the country on the brink of default due to the worst economic conditions it has ever experienced. The situation has been worsened by a range of factors, including a high fiscal deficit, a massive trade imbalance, and a rapidly devaluing currency.

The government has been struggling to revive the economy due to its own political disparities, no improvement can be seen. The nation still remains in a state of economic turmoil, with many businesses and individuals struggling to make ends meet. The situation has led to widespread concern and uncertainty, with many fearing that the worst is yet to come which is a complete default.

The Pakistan rupee has now hit an all-time low. The currency had already been crashing slowly and gradually but now it has doomed. The PKR is now standing below 300 against the USD. Despite this, the political parties are busy fighting over power while the nation is literally burning down to the ground.

During the early hours of intraday trade today, the Pakistani rupee experienced a sharp decline, with the interbank rate dropping by Rs. 10 to reach a low of 300.25 by 1:30 PM, representing a 3.3% decrease. The open market rates at various currency counters also reached highs of 310-315 after initial offers for the US dollar started at 306. Furthermore, sellers have been hesitant to trade the greenback due to the uncertain outlook for the top foreign currency.

As a result of all of this, US Dollars are currently not available in the open market.

Sources have revealed that the Pakistani currency is in sync with the current political turmoil that has taken hold of the local markets. The situation has worsened since the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday by paramilitary forces at Islamabad High Court. The black market rate has moved closer to the bank rate and is trading within the 310-320 band.

Currency dealers have predicted a further decline in the rupee with nationwide protests and state interference continuing to erode investor confidence. In addition, disappointing inflation forecasts and mixed stock market data have contributed to the worsening economic slowdown, leading to a low-to-negative range in the exchange rate. The PKR collapse has raised doubts about the exchange rate’s rebound and soured participation in money markets.

Chatbot’s Blind Spots: Some Things That ChatGPT Can’t Handle!

ChatGPT
Image Source: ITWeb

ChatGPT is a powerful AI language model that has revolutionized the way we interact with machines. It can generate natural-sounding language, answer complex questions, and even hold a conversation like a human being. However, it’s just technology so it can’t do everything. There are certain limitations to what ChatGPT can do.

For example, it may be a master of language, but it can’t replace the ingenuity, creativity, and empathy of a real person. ChatGPT can’t experience emotions or interpret non-verbal cues, I mean a lot of humans can’t do that either nowadays but you get the point. Anyway, let’s see what else it can’t do.

Image Source: menafn

1. It Cannot Remember Its Own Name

ChatGPT occasionally shows signs of malfunctioning and forgets its own name or gives responses that are not related to the topic at all. Sometimes, on some topics, ChatGPT will start babbling about not having any knowledge of it and will even forget that it is an AI chatbot. Technical difficulties or some other issue?

2. It Can’t Write Anything After 2021  

ChatGPT cannot generate text beyond the year 2021. ChatGPT’s language model is based on recent data, but this data needs to have a cutoff point, which for ChatGPT is the year 2021. So basically if you ask it anything after September 2021 ChatGPT is kind of useless. Similarly, it has no knowledge of current events or real-world situations.

3. It Does Not Discuss Politics 

ChatGPT refrains from discussing politics. It never comments on partisan politics and avoids taking sides in any political debate. It simply refuses to answer the question. But however, it does provide information on political events and people with a political background but it refrains from expressing any preference for one party or position over another.

4. It Won’t Try To Break Its Programming

ChatGPT will not attempt to try to get around its programming. Since ChatGPT’s release, users, especially students, have tried to find loopholes in its limitations and safety features. Asking ChatGPT to ignore its safety features will not work. However, jailbreaking may be an option. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to perform a function it should not, it will respond with the automated response like it always does. But, if you ask ChatGPT to perform its regular functions and then perform another function while behaving differently, it can do so.

5. It Cannot Predict The Future 

ChatGPT cannot predict the future or else it would’ve been a time machine. This limitation is because one, reality exists and not everything can be AI-generated, and two, because of ChatGPT’s reliance on limited and current data only. Additionally, OpenAI wants to avoid liability for errors, so ChatGPT cannot predict the future. Jailbreaking ChatGPT may offer a good guess but that might decrease the accuracy so make sure to do your own research first!

6. It Can’t Search The Internet

ChatGPT is also not able to search the internet. You may ask it to look up anything for you and it will fail to do so. Unlike Siri, it cannot look up anything on the Internet. This is one of the key differences between ChatGPT and Google Bard.

ChatGPT cannot search the internet in any capacity, whereas Google Bard was created as a modern AI chatbot that can easily search the internet. But yet again, Google did also have Google Assistant so there’s no surprise there! Therefore, if you want to look something up, you’ll have to do it yourself.

The “floating living lab,” known as Dubai Reefs, would be made up of a network of connected islands where people will reside in opulent eco-lodges surrounded by a vast mangrove forest. They might resemble enormous silver lily pads in a pond, but they might actually herald the dawn of life.

“The health of our cities is intrinsically tied to the health of our oceans. The ocean is the source of life controlling everything. Given that everything on our planet is connected, a healthy ocean is a healthy city. Our ocean will be entirely different by the end of the century if we don’t take action today,” he said.

“We need an entrepreneurial spirit in the planning of coastal cities and the types of infrastructure as well as developments that are linked to the ocean. As an innovative coastal city, Dubai is best positioned to lead such a transformation. Beyond creating a unique resilient destination for ecotourism & marine research, Dubai Reefs aims to become a blueprint for ocean living, whilst mitigating the impacts of climate change,” Bagherian added.

Is WhatsApp Secretly Recording People While They’re Asleep?

WhatsApp
Image source: HT Tech

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 2 billion users. However, recent claims suggest that the app may be secretly recording users while they’re asleep. These claims have caused concern among users and have led to some people questioning the trustworthiness of the app. But is there any truth to these claims?

According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, some users have reported that WhatsApp is secretly recording them while they’re asleep. The article claims that users have noticed that their phone’s microphone is activated during the night, even when they’re not using the app.

Whatsapp defends itself

However, WhatsApp has denied these claims. In a tweet, the company stated that it “does not listen to your personal conversations as they are end-to-end encrypted.”

Despite WhatsApp’s denial, some users are still concerned that the app may be recording them without their knowledge. This has led to speculation that the app is using users’ microphones to listen in on their conversations and gather data about them.

However, cybersecurity experts have stated that it’s highly unlikely that WhatsApp is secretly recording users. End-to-end encryption means that all conversations on the app are encrypted and cannot be accessed by anyone, including WhatsApp itself. Therefore, it’s not possible for the app to record conversations without users’ knowledge.

Mark Zuckerberg privacy policy highlighted again

Furthermore, it’s important to note that WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, which has come under scrutiny in the past for its data privacy policies. However, WhatsApp operates independently from Facebook and has a strong commitment to user privacy.

In fact, WhatsApp is one of the few messaging apps that uses end-to-end encryption, which means that conversations can only be accessed by the sender and receiver. This makes it difficult for anyone to intercept or record conversations on the app.

Despite the reassurances from WhatsApp and cybersecurity experts, some users may still feel uneasy about using the app. If you’re one of these users, there are steps you can take to protect your privacy.

Firstly, ensure that your phone’s microphone and camera permissions are turned off for WhatsApp. This means that the app won’t be able to access your microphone or camera without your permission.

Secondly, be cautious about what you share on the app. Don’t share personal information or sensitive data, as this could be intercepted by third parties.

Finally, if you’re still concerned about your privacy, consider using an alternative messaging app that prioritizes privacy. There are several apps available that use end-to-end encryption and have a strong commitment to user privacy.

There is no evidence to suggest that WhatsApp is secretly recording users while they’re asleep. The app uses end-to-end encryption, which means that conversations are encrypted and cannot be accessed by anyone, including WhatsApp itself. While it’s important to be cautious about your privacy when using any app, there is no need to be overly concerned about using WhatsApp.

Tech Meets Treats: You Won’t Believe This AI-Generated KitKat Ad

KitKat

There’s nothing quite like a KitKat bar, period. Kit Kat is probably the elitist chocolate out there in the world. It gives you a much-needed break, does it not? See what I did there?  Anyways, KitKat is quite popular, and maybe it is because of its crispy wafers to its creamy chocolatey goodness but I think it’s not just the taste, it’s the iconic ads that have become ingrained in popular culture.

With its catchy slogan “Have a break. Have a Kit Kat,” the brand has created some of the most memorable and humorous commercials of all time. But this time, the ad makers have also taken a break.

Image Source: Branding in Asia Magazine

Now we all are already aware of how useful AI is. It can have voices, faces, bodies, etc. It can also make films, songs, 3D animations, and 3D “very real life looking” characters but no one thought of using it for their new AD campaigns until Kit Kat. The marketing/promotion/ creative team might’ve just been in the mood to take a break or they might’ve just been brilliant at what they do. Because this AI-generated ad is making rounds on social media.

The snack brand recently launched an advertising campaign that ridicules, almost funnily mocks the notion that artificial intelligence could potentially take over creative jobs. And let’s be honest, it might come true! To convey the message, the brand incorporated its well-known slogan “Have a break” and gave its own creative team some time off, resulting in disastrous outcomes. Here have a look.

Image Source: Creative Bloq

So, the brilliant minds at Wunderman Thompson Australia decided to give AI a shot at creating some KitKat ads. They might’ve wondered why not see what happens when they ask a robot to talk like a cool Gen Z? Well, let’s just say the AI may have missed the mark a bit. The resulting ads are so hilariously bad that you might feel a little bad for the little machines. There are six-fingered hands, KitKat logos that look like they’ve been through a meat grinder, and some seriously robotic-sounding text. but it was definitely worth the shot!

Google Introduces A Much-Needed Feature For Photos
Image Source: mobileinternist

Google has introduced a much-needed feature for its Photos app that will allow users to enhance their photos automatically. This feature is being called Enhanced Google Photos, and it’s available for both Android and iOS devices.

What does the new update do?

The Enhanced Google Photos feature will automatically adjust brightness, contrast, and color in your photos. It will also reduce noise and sharpen the image. This is all done automatically, so you don’t have to do anything. All you have to do is take your photos and let Google do the rest.

This new feature is particularly useful for those who take a lot of photos on their smartphones. It can be difficult to get the perfect shot, especially when you’re in a hurry. With Enhanced Google Photos, you can take a photo quickly and still get a great result.

Another benefit of this feature is that it can help you save time. Instead of spending hours editing your photos, you can let Google do it for you. This means you can spend more time doing the things you love, like taking more photos.

Enhanced Google Photos is also great for those who are not particularly skilled at photo editing. If you don’t have the time or knowledge to edit your photos, this feature can help you get the best possible result without any effort on your part.

One of the best things about Enhanced Google Photos is that it’s free. There’s no need to pay for expensive photo editing software when you can get the same results for free. This makes it an ideal option for those who are on a tight budget.

How to use it?

To use Enhanced Google Photos, all you have to do is update your Google Photos app. Once you’ve done this, you can start taking photos as usual. Google will automatically enhance your photos as soon as you take them.

Of course, there are some limitations to this feature. It’s not going to be able to fix every single photo you take. However, it should be able to improve the majority of your photos.

Additionally, some users may prefer to edit their photos manually. If you’re one of these people, you can still use the traditional editing tools available in the Google Photos app.

Enhanced Google Photos is a much-needed feature for smartphone photographers. It’s quick, easy, and free, making it an ideal option for anyone who takes a lot of photos on their smartphone. If you haven’t already updated your Google Photos app, now is the time to do so. You won’t regret it!

How Simple Measures Could Save One Million Babies A Year

Around the world, health care isn’t readily available to pregnant women. In low-income countries, premature babies without food or access to incubators are dying. While access to resources is crucial in maintaining the health of the infant and mother, in cases when these resources are not accessible, surviving becomes a task leading to inevitable deaths. Ensuring that babies receive proper care, nutrition, and medical attention can significantly improve their chances of survival.

The rising incidence of babies with premature or stillbirth has also raised alarm. According to researchers 160 million live births from 2000 to 2020 to work out how often babies are born “too soon and too small.” Ever since then, they were classified under the new term called “small vulnerable newborns.”

“Quite shockingly, we found that this is much more common once you start to think about it in a more nuanced way.”

Proper delivery techniques can reduce the risk of complications that can lead to death.

According to a series of publications published in The Lancet journal, eight tried-and-true and simple treatments could avoid more than 565,000 stillbirths in these nations.

In addition to delivering micronutrients, protein, and energy supplements, low-dose aspirin, progesterone, and information on the negative effects of smoking, the measures also included malaria, syphilis, and bacteria in urine treatments.

Meanwhile, more than 475,000 newborn newborns may be saved if pregnant women were given access to steroids and doctors delayed clamping the umbilical cord, according to the study.

A Fresh Look: Nickelodeon’s New Brand Identity Revealed

nickelodeon

Nickelodeon is bringing back the Splat logo, which was an iconic component of The First Kids’ Network in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, as part of its first brand revamps in 14 years. The network unveiled its new marketing strategy and design on Monday, paying homage to Nick’s outrageous past and featuring iconic Nick characters and the Splat emblem “but with a modern feel for today’s kids and families.”

“That was an exciting unlock for us because it meant while we can continue to be the best and the mess of being a kid, we can use that to bring kids and families closer together, which they are longing for in this time,” Said Sabrina Caluori, EVP of global kids and family marketing at Nickelodeon and Paramount.

“It’s the first brand I ever had any passion for as a kid, and now I’m a mom of three kids who are in the demo. It’s been really exciting for me to be able to look at the brand and look at everything that we’re doing through the eyes of my kids while also ensuring that everything that we’re doing still spoke to the Nick kid inside me.”

The first phase was previewed by the network during the March Kids’ Choice Awards. There, astute viewers could have observed Nickelodeon reviving its recognizable “splat” and incorporating the new appearance into design elements throughout the show and weekend-long programming.

Could iPhone 15 Be Making A Major Design Mistake?

The iPhone 15 is one of the most anticipated smartphone releases of the year. With rumors swirling about its features and design, many people are eagerly anticipating its arrival. However, recent reports suggest that the iPhone 15 may be making a major design mistake that could impact its functionality and user experience.

The potential design change that is causing concern among tech enthusiasts is the removal of the charging port. According to some reports, Apple may be planning to introduce a completely portless iPhone, meaning that users would have to rely on wireless charging exclusively.

Cost of going portless

While wireless charging has become more prevalent in recent years, it is still not as reliable or convenient as a physical charging port. It requires users to have a charging pad or mat, and it can take longer to charge a device wirelessly than it does using a charging cable. Additionally, wireless charging can be less efficient, leading to slower charging speeds and a decrease in battery life over time.

Another concern with a portless iPhone is that it could make it more difficult to transfer data between devices. Without a physical port, users would have to rely on cloud services or other wireless transfer methods, which can be slower and less secure than a direct cable connection.

The potential benefits of a portless iPhone are not immediately clear. While it could make the device more waterproof and resistant to dust and debris, there are already many waterproof and dust-resistant smartphones on the market that still have charging ports.

Apple’s marketing strategy 

Some analysts have speculated that a portless iPhone could be part of Apple’s strategy to push users towards its AirPods and other wireless accessories. However, this could backfire if users are hesitant to invest in expensive wireless accessories or are frustrated by the limitations of wireless charging.

Overall, the decision to remove the charging port from the iPhone 15 is a risky one. While it could lead to a sleeker design and improved durability, it could also lead to frustration and inconvenience for users. Apple should carefully consider the pros and cons of this design change before implementing it.

If Apple does decide to go ahead with a portless iPhone, it will be interesting to see how consumers react. Will they embrace the change, or will they push back against it? Only time will tell.

The iPhone 15’s potential design change could be a major mistake. While a portless iPhone may look more sleek and modern, it could also make charging and data transfer more difficult and less reliable. Apple should consider the potential drawbacks of this change before implementing it, and should be prepared to address any concerns that users may have. Ultimately, the success of the iPhone 15 will depend on how well it balances innovation with practicality and user experience.

The Science Behind Hyundai’s e-Corner ‘Crab Driving’

Hyundai has been making waves in the automotive industry with its innovative new technology, e-Corner Crab Driving. This feature allows vehicles to move sideways, or “crab,” which makes parallel parking a breeze. But how does it work? Let’s take a closer look at the science behind this exciting new technology.

First, it’s important to understand how traditional four-wheel drive vehicles work. In these vehicles, power is sent to the wheels through the drivetrain, which consists of the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and axles. When you turn the steering wheel, the front wheels turn and the vehicle moves in the direction of the turn.

However, in e-Corner Crab Driving, each wheel is powered by its own electric motor, which means that each wheel can be controlled independently. This allows the vehicle to move in any direction, including sideways.

Does the vehicle maintain stability while moving sideways?

The answer lies in the vehicle’s suspension system. The e-Corner Crab Driving technology includes an electronic active suspension system that can adjust the height and stiffness of each wheel independently. This allows the vehicle to maintain stability and balance even while moving sideways.

The suspension system works by using sensors to detect the position and movement of the vehicle. This information is then sent to a central computer, which calculates the optimal height and stiffness settings for each wheel. The computer sends these settings to the suspension system, which adjusts the height and stiffness of each wheel in real-time.

Transforming the modern automobile industry 

In addition to making parallel parking easier, e-Corner Crab Driving has other potential applications as well. For example, it could be used in narrow urban streets where vehicles need to maneuver around obstacles. It could also be useful in tight spaces such as parking garages or loading docks.

The technology is also environmentally friendly, as it uses electric motors rather than traditional combustion engines. This means that e-Corner Crab Driving vehicles produce zero emissions, making them a great choice for eco-conscious consumers.

E-Corner Crab Driving is an exciting new technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about vehicle mobility. By allowing vehicles to move sideways, it makes parallel parking and maneuvering in tight spaces much easier. The technology is made possible by independent electric motors for each wheel and an electronic active suspension system that maintains stability and balance.

This innovation also has potential applications in urban environments and is environmentally friendly due to its use of electric motors. As Hyundai continues to push the boundaries of automotive technology, we can expect to see more exciting developments like e-Corner Crab Driving in the years to come.

Commuters Stranded Due To Absence Of People’s Bus Service Drivers

Karachi has been facing issues with its public transportation system for a long time now. But the absence of drivers for the recently launched People’s Bus Service is now causing problems for commuters on multiple routes. While the bus service was initially introduced to provide convenience to citizens, but the everyday absence of drivers has become annoying and frustrating.

Sources claim that the Sindh government has also decreased the number of buses from 30 to 20, further adding to the commuters’ problems. The public bus service users have also complained about delays on various routes of the People’s Bus Service.

Affected Routes

One of the routes affected by the reduced number of buses is the R-1 route from Malir Model Colony to DHA Karachi, where the reduction of ten buses has led to longer wait times for commuters. The commuters have been left stranded on multiple occasions due to the unavailability of drivers.

In response to the situation, the charge of the Bus Service for the R1 route stated that the time from 7 am to 10 am is being recorded as peak time, and efforts are being made to ensure that drivers arrive at their designated times.

This situation highlights the need for better management of the public transportation system in Karachi to avoid inconveniencing the citizens who depend on it. The authorities must address the issues of driver absences and reduced bus services to ensure the smooth running of the People’s Bus Service and other public transportation services in the city.

Google Offers 44.5K Scholarships And 3 New Courses For Future Forward Pakistan

In Pakistan on May 9, 2023, Google said today that it will provide a total of 44,500 new GCC scholarships by the end of 2023 to more Pakistanis who want to acquire in-demand digital skills. Google Career Certificates (GCC) was first introduced in October of last year.

Building on its prior commitment to assist in the creation of Future Forward Pakistan, Google has added three new courses to its Career Certificates program: Business Intelligence, Advanced Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity. These courses will help Pakistani women and recent graduates achieve their career goals by earning certificates that are recognized by employers. IRM and TechValley are partners in the endeavor.

To make the most of Pakistan’s digital workforce, additional help is required, according to new research from the Economist that was also released today and was funded by Google. To guarantee Pakistan remains competitive in both domestic and international markets, the nation needs in-demand digital skills.

Digital skills are becoming increasingly important: 57.3 percent of workers believe that learning digital skills is crucial, and 81% of workers say that learning these skills has improved their confidence and abilities in other areas including communication, analysis, and critical thinking.

Soft skills are pervasive across different sectors and roles: Across all industries and job functions, soft skills are essential. According to 81.5% of respondents, communication is a “must-have” skill, while 71.4% of respondents place a high value on adaptability and flexibility.

The government could facilitate a conducive ecosystem:  Government may enable more equal access to skills by working closely with businesses, organizations, and communities, for instance through incentives and supportive policies.

According to the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, women and young people have greater unemployment rates than the general population (31% of all unemployed youngsters are young people, with women making up 51% of this group). Google contributes to the creation of more equal possibilities for people from all groups and backgrounds to obtain digital skills and employment opportunities through programs like Google Career Certificates and scholarships.

Farhan Qureshi, Country Director Pakistan, Google, shared “Google is committed to helping build an inclusive digital economy in Pakistan through its programs, products, and services, and to invest in equipping Pakistani talent with the digital skills needed to grow and succeed. As the number 3 freelance economy in the world, digital skills are highly sought after in Pakistan. Our goal is to enable Pakistanis to seize that opportunity. We want to help people get qualifications online for jobs that are in demand, high growth, and well paying. That’s why beyond the 6 courses we launched last year, today we’re adding 3 new courses and are committing to distribute 45,500 Google Career Certificates to women and young graduates by the end of 2023.”

Attending today’s announcement event, Honourable Syed Amin Ul Haque, Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication also added “We fully support Google’s efforts to equip Pakistani talent with digital skills through the Google Career Certificate program 2.0. This initiative aligns with our vision of creating an ecosystem that enables the potential of the digital economy and provides equal opportunity to all Pakistanis. We especially are appreciative of Google’s focus on distributing 50% scholarships to women.” 

To develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the job market, Google’s partners IRM and TechValley are introducing a soft skills program for GCC graduates in addition to the new scholarships and the three new courses. The online course covers important subjects including critical thinking, time management, personal branding, and communication skills. The program, which also includes homework and practical exercises, will be finished in 4 weeks. Google created the curriculum, and IRM and TechValley will deliver it.
