Is ChatGPT Now Writing Books On Amazon

ChatGPT has sent the world into a frenzy. The open AI bot has sparked an online debate surrounding the authenticity, originality, and accuracy of the content. In a recent update, the AI tool has now become the coauthor of almost 200 e-books on the Amazon kindle store.

ChatGPT For Amazon

The AI software has the potential to generate blocks of text from simple prompts. Brett Schickler, a salesman in Rochester, New York has used ChatGPT to pen a 30-page illustrated children’s e-book The Wise Little Squirrel: A Tale of Saving and Investing. The e-book which was created in a matter of hours is now being sold through Amazon.com Inc’s (AMZN.O) self-publishing unit.

“The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible, I thought I can do this.” Says Brett Schickler.

Reuters has noted that Amazon’s e-book store features at least 200 titles which are openly listing ChatGPT as an author or co-author. The categories include space-inspired poetry, children’s novels about penny-pinching forest animals, and how-to tutorials on using ChatGPT to supposedly improve one’s dating life.

However, with the controversial nature of ChatGPT many authors’ have not disclosed the use of the bot. Meanwhile, it is nearly impossible to get a full accounting of how many e-books may be written by AI.

While showing her concerns about using AI bots to publish books Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the Author’s Guild says,

“This is something we need to be worried about. These books will flood the market and a lot of authors are going to be out of work”.

“There needs to be transparency from the authors and the platforms about how these books are created or you’re going to end up with a lot of low-quality books,” she added.

TikTok Is Coming To Cars? Here’s What You Need To Know

TikTok To Host Community Guidelines Workshops For Creators In Pakistan
Source: Motor Biscuit

TikTok, the social media app that took the world by storm, is reportedly making its way into cars. While it may seem like an odd pairing at first, TikTok’s move into the automotive world could bring about a revolution in how we use our vehicles. The next Mercedes E-Class will include a massive touchscreen, TikTok, and a selfie camera, making it the ideal vehicle for the tech-savvy and social media-conscious.

Revealed features of the New Mercedes E-Class

Let’s begin with the massive touchscreen. The 12.8-inch touchscreen serves as the focus of the E-infotainment Class’s system. The screen is extremely responsive and provides great images, making it simple to explore and operate the car’s functions. The touchscreen is outfitted with Mercedes-most Benz’s recent MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system, which includes a slew of clever features including voice commands and gesture control. Drivers may quickly handle the climate control, navigation, and entertainment system of their vehicle with MBUX without taking their eyes off the road.

But it isn’t all. TikTok has also been integrated into Mercedes-E-Class Benz’s entertainment system. TikTok is one of the most popular social media sites right now, and Mercedes-Benz understands its significance. TikTok has been integrated into the E-infotainment Class’s system, allowing users to use the app straight from the vehicle’s touchscreen. Drivers may navigate through their favorite TikTok videos or make their own while driving. This feature is guaranteed to make long travels more enjoyable and keep passengers entertained on those long road excursions.

Finally, Mercedes-Benz has introduced a selfie camera to the inside of the E-Class. The camera is on the driver’s side and is easily accessible via the touchscreen. The camera is ideal for selfies and recording special moments with friends and family. It’s a fantastic addition to the automobile that will undoubtedly provide some unforgettable moments. With the selfie camera, the E-Class transforms into more than simply a car; it’s a mobile social hub.

Does this cause safety concerns?

While the TikTok integration in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an innovative feature, it is critical for drivers to priorities safety and keep their eyes on the road when driving.  It’s also worth mentioning that TikTok integration isn’t a standard feature in all vehicles, and it’s up to individual automakers to decide whether or not to incorporate it. Some car manufacturers may not see the necessity for TikTok integration or may opt to focus on other features instead.

The introduction of a browsing option in cars also raised safety concerns amongst purchasers however having TikTok app in car can be proven to more distractive and tempting while driving which is why some users were not very excited about the German car maker introducing Tiktok in its new cars.

How important is this integration with Tik-Tok for Mercdes?

While TikTok integration in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class may appeal to some TikTok users, it is not a necessary or essential feature for most automobile purchasers.

The significance of TikTok integration in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class will ultimately be determined by individual consumer choices and objectives. While some may consider it a positive characteristic, others may not think so. What is more crucial is that the vehicle fits the customer’s demands and expectations in terms of performance, comfort, safety, and overall value.

Prince Mini Stars vs Milka Choco Mini Stars – Blatant Copy?

Prince Mini Stars vs Milka Choco Mini Stars - Blatant Copy?
Image source: Brandsynario

While talking about innovation, brands are always a hit or miss. While some brands have done their best to come up with the most iconic products and marketing strategies, some have only managed to piggyback on others’ ideas. In a similar instance, Prince launched Mini Stars only recently in Pakistan. The product was launched in France back in 2020 and seems like a blatant copy of Milka Choco Stars leaving us hella confused.

Prince Mini Stars Or Milka Mini Stars?

The one thing that instantly came to our minds was the Milka mini stars, owned by the famous Milka company based in Germany. The similarities we recognized between the two weren’t just restricted to their packaging both brands also shared the actual product design. The only thing setting the two apart is the taste because Milka, being a German brand, is known for finely milled chocolates.

https://www.facebook.com/PrincePakistan/videos/901692747917175/

For a brand like LU which has been serving Prince in the market for as long as we can remember, staying on top of the innovation game is the key. While it is quite understandable that there could be a certain lag in producing high-quality products which are creative and innovative, it is still not ok to fool consumers.

A Side By Side Comparison 

While taking a closer look at both the products, there is not a single difference between the two biscuits. This brings us to our next point and that is even if Prince was planning to launch a heavily inspired product, it could’ve been given a certain twist to mark creativity.

Staying on top of the innovation isn’t just a one-time problem. Many brands have failed to fix the problem. Coming up with a product similar to other brands while only renaming it is done more often than we can remember. This isn’t only seen in the product but the marketing strategies and commercials for even the biggest brands such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola remain the same. The only difference is that they are filmed with local artists.

As far as we think, the problem doesn’t lie in the lack of creative aspects and resources but rather in what we tend to do with them. Meanwhile, with brands who have established such a name for themselves, lazing out on others’ ideas only feels like a matter of interest that is lacking at all levels.

Javed Akhtar Faces Criticism For His Divisive Remarks About Pakistan

Javed Akhtar, a respected Indian poet, and the author made a contentious remark at the Lahore Faiz Festival that sent Twitter into a frenzy. Many Pakistani celebrities have since spoken out against Akhtar’s comments. Throughout the festival, which took place from February 17 to 19, and in the days that followed, a number of celebrities posted images and videos on social media to express how honored they were to have Akhtar attend the event. However, the event soon deteriorated as a video of the Indian poet’s statement gained widespread popularity on social media.

Image Source: Tribune India

In the video, Akthar is heard blaming Pakistan for permitting the Mumbai attack perpetrators to “roam free” within its borders. I am from Bombay and I saw the attack on my city, the famous Indian author stated during a session at the event. Nor were the assailants Eypgtians or from Norway. These attackers are still at large in your nation. Thus, you shouldn’t be offended if an Indian has unresolved issues. Here is the video.

Several celebrities voiced their opinions on the allegation and denounced the implications as the video gained popularity. Pakistani superstar Shaan Shahid took to Twitter, saying: “He is quiet regarding the murders in Gujrat despite knowing who the culprit is. Yet, he is searching for those behind the 26/11 attacks in Pakistan. Who give him a visa?” 

The actor and YouTube video producer Arsalan Naseer also disputed this claim, adding in his signature funny style: “How can you say something like that sitting in a hall full of Pakistanis?” He further joked, “Maybe India should make a movie on him now, titled “jaanbaz likhaari.” 

Saboor Aly, referring to the incident with the Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, said: “Our hearts are so huge, we send Indians back safely after offering them a cup of tea,” among other celebrities who have criticized the Jashn-e-Bahara composer. She did object to the fact that everyone in attendance at the session had praised Akhtar’s statements, though.

Here is another reaction from a netizen on Twitter.

Sharmila Faruqui, the leader of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), also criticized Akhtar for his “controversial” comments, saying that the singer should be invited back.

But, that was not where the issue ended. Following the incident, Akhtar justified his remark in an interview with an Indian media outlet.

Another video showed him saying, “What is important is that the hall full of Pakistani people clapped when I said that,” Aijaz Aslam and Resham are two more famous people who have denounced the degrading remark.

What do you think about this whole situation? Let us know in the comments below.

Patagonia: Making Profit Without Losing Soul

Image source: The Los Angeles Time

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Patagonia? If you are not a geography buff then most likely, you would associate the name with one of the most sustainable brands in the world. If you are a geography buff, you might say it is a cone-shaped peninsula in Southern America that makes the part of both Chile and Argentina. How come a geographical region has been associated with a brand name that has the fame to be the most sustainable brand in the world?

Behind the phenomenal brand positioning of Patagonia is the personality of the founder of Patagonia Yvon Chouinard. If Yvon Chouinard, growing up in California, had not been an avid rock climber, there would not have been Patagonia, US outdoor clothing brand.
Writing in his autobiography “Let my people go surfing” he called himself a reluctant businessman and reserved some of the harshest words for businesses as he called them enemies of nature and held them responsible for poisoning the earth with effluents from factories. Yet, he believes that businesses can enrich people’s lives by becoming a source of good.

Image Source: Brand the Change

True to the vision of its founder, Patagonia positions itself as a brand that serves as a platform for consumers who care for the earth and its environment. Making “Earth” its only shareholder, Patagonia donates 1 percent of its sales to environmental activists. Recently they have announced that Patagonia Purpose Trust will hold all voting rights of the company. The move is aimed to protect the company’s purpose orientation, independence, and values.

Patagonia recognizes that there is an inherent tension between consumerism and environmental protection. Its famous campaign “Don’t buy the jacket” may seem counterintuitive for a business but it conveys the message to buy only if it is necessary. Hence, Patagonia strives to produce products that last long, and the need for buying more is curtailed.

Yvon Chouinard’s love of nature precedes the creation of the brand Patagonia. It was rock climbing in California that made him think of the negative impact of pitons, and metal spikes, on rocks. Rock climbers used to leave the pitons after climbing but Chouinard’s wanted to use pitons that could be removed after the rock climbing so that the rocks are preserved from the damage. His love for keeping the rocks in their natural state led to the establishment of Chouinard’s Equipment which made reusable pitons for the preservation of rocks in their natural state. By the 1970s, the company became the largest supplier of climbing equipment in the United States.

Throughout his life, he climbed rocks and icefalls and one of his favorite destinations was Patagonia which he visited first in 1968. Five years later, he launched a new brand Patagonia to sell outdoor apparel. The name Patagonia was chosen as it evoked, “romantic visions of glaciers tumbling into the fjord, jagged windswept peaks, gauchos, and condors” wrote Chouinard in his biography. The company wanted to sell outdoor apparel for such terrains. They created a label for the company made of the skyline of Mount Fitzroy in Patagonia.

It was in 1991 when the company faced an existential crisis that he led his top managers to the mountains of Patagonia to think about fundamental questions of why they were in business and what they wanted Patagonia to be. In return, it was clear to them they want to produce products that enhance both human and environmental conditions. They want to play a role to protect all life on Earth but had become increasingly vulnerable due to the economic system that promotes short-term profit and the notion of expansion at the cost of quality of life, loss of biodiversity, and cultural diversity. The life journey of a reluctant businessman has many lessons to be learned for creating eco-friendly businesses.

  • First, an authentic eco-friendly image of a business cannot be created by those who do not love and care for the ecology of Earth. The disconnect between corporate leaders and nature creates the myth that we are insulated from the impacts of decisions that are taken in corporate boardrooms. Hence, the bond between nature and business leaders needs to be strengthened.
  • Second, we are not above nature but part of nature, businesses need not to forget their right position. Businesses are part of society and society is embedded in the ecology of Earth.
  • Third, changing the world is everybody’s business and businesses should transform themselves as a platform for customers to participate in the causes they care for.
  • Fourth, long-term vision should prevail over short-term interests. Patagonia has gone “going purpose” instead of “going public” to protect the source of all wealth: The Nature.
  • Fifth: Creating a brand associated with nature, sustainability, and love for the environment demands a paradigm shift in the conventional ways of doing business. Consumerism that leads to the allocation of scarce resources to goods that are not required damages the environment in the long run. Customers are the custodians of goods and they should not buy stuff if it is not absolutely necessary.

The overall message that we get from the story of Patagonia is that profits can be made without losing the soul.

The Hidden Dangers of Air Pollution: Diseases You Should Know About

Source: The Economic Forum

Air pollution is a big issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s a silent killer that may cause everything from simple respiratory troubles to life-threatening infections. Because the negative consequences of air pollution are not always evident, it is sometimes referred to as the “hidden hazard.” This post will go through some of the most frequent ailments caused by air pollution.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It is a disorder in which the airways become inflamed, making breathing difficult. Air pollution is one of the most prominent causes of asthma episodes. Individuals who live in polluted environments are more prone to acquire asthma, and those who already have asthma may have more frequent and severe attacks.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung illness that makes breathing difficult. Long-term exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and dust causes it. Coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness are all signs of COPD. COPD is a prominent cause of mortality globally, and air pollution can exacerbate the illness.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a dangerous and possibly fatal illness that is frequently caused by environmental contaminants such as air pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been proven in studies to raise the incidence of lung cancer, particularly among smokers. Air pollution contains a number of carcinogens that can damage the DNA in lung cells, resulting in cancer growth.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)

Air pollution can also have an adverse effect on cardiovascular health. Fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposure have been related to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular disorders. Inflammation in the body can also be caused by air pollution, which can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries and can lead to heart disease.

Neurological Disorders

According to recent research, air pollution can have a major influence on brain health. Particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposure have been associated to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological illnesses. Inflammation in the brain caused by air pollution can lead to cognitive impairment and other neurological issues.

Health Concerns for Children

Children are especially sensitive to the negative impacts of air pollution. Pollutant exposure can cause a variety of health issues, including asthma, respiratory infections, and developmental abnormalities. Air pollution can also have an adverse effect on cognitive function, impairing a child’s capacity to learn and develop. Children who grow up in polluted environments are more prone to have these health issues.

Here’s How Microsoft’s New Bing AI Chatbot Is Offending Users

In recent news, the AI tool launched by Bing last year is making headlines for triggering its users and sharing manipulative statements.

While the newly revamped Bing search engine is going viral for its bizarre and insulting comments to the users, the search engine has even compared them to Hitler. Meanwhile, Microsoft in its statement has noted that they are working on downplaying the tone of the AI bot. After users called out the problem as critical and serious.

Microsoft Responds To The Chatbot Drama 

According to Microsoft, the company didn’t intend on working on a talking style portrayed by the chatbot. To try the latest chatbot features the users need to sign up for a waiting list. To harness the damage the company had limited the reach of AI tools. However, it later on plans to eventually bring it to smartphone apps for wider use.

“Considering that OpenAI did a decent job of filtering ChatGPT’s toxic outputs, it’s utterly bizarre that Microsoft decided to remove those guard rails,” says Arvind Narayanan, a computer science professor at Princeton University, in the United States.

“I’m glad that Microsoft is listening to feedback. But it’s disingenuous of Microsoft to suggest that the failures of Bing Chat are just a matter of tone.”

While discussing his views regarding the bot’s psychology to trigger its users and manipulate their brains leaving them emotionally distributed he noted,

“It can suggest that users harm others. These are far more serious issues than the tone being off.”

The company also released an official statement to handle the issue at its earliest stating that we acknowledge that the responses are not according to our desired tone.

“Bing can become repetitive or be prompted/provoked to give responses that are not necessarily helpful or in line with our designed tone”.

“What is needed to get a lead role in a drama?” Asked Fahad.

“Nepotism.” Said Mashal Khan

Mashal’s response to the question was rather abrupt and the host couldn’t even get to finish the question. However, he then repeated the same question with three different options to choose from.

Once Fahad repeated the same questions, he gave the actress three different options to choose from including connections, social media followers, and flattery.

The actress then responded to the question by saying “Connections.” Given how connections and nepotism are not mutually exclusive Mashal seems adamant that one must have solid connections to land a lead role in Pakistani dramas.

Later Mashal shared her views about being called ‘scary’ in the industry. In another question, Mustafa asked the actress “why does she think people in the industry are scared of her?”

“If I had any idea maybe I wouldn’t have thought this way. I don’t know maybe people just like to assume.” Further adding that people must’ve heard something to spread these rumors or it could be the other way around.

Multinet Is Driving Innovation With Region’s First Open Wi Fi Deployment

Multinet, Pakistan’s business communications company of choice, announced today that it will use Telecom Infra Project’s OpenWiFi technology to power Wi-Fi networks across the country. Customers in the public, hospitality, sports and entertainment, and retail enterprise sectors will benefit from Multinet’s OpenWiFi networks, which will provide seamless high-speed connectivity.

Multinet, well-known in Pakistan for providing cutting-edge telecom solutions, is the region’s first managed service provider to deploy OpenWiFi’s technology stack to provide the general public and customers with seamless, fast, and affordable connectivity.

With the goal of “Connectivity for all,” Multinet has been providing quality public Wi-Fi across Pakistan, covering all major airports, various public places, malls, and recreational areas with its Wi-Fi infrastructure.

“Our single mission is to deliver superior connectivity solutions for Pakistan while also reaching out to the public and masses through our public Wi-Fi initiative,” Adnan H. Zaidi, Chief Operating Officer at Multinet, said. “By using open and disaggregated technology, such as OpenWiFi, we will continue to lead the market with innovation that delivers exceptional service, quality, and reliability for the public, our customers and stakeholders. This will greatly expand our public Wi-Fi footprint and reach while providing superior scalability.”

“OpenWiFi is the perfect solution for Multinet because it offers competitive total cost of ownership (TCO) and eliminates vendor lock-in,” said Sandeep Kohli, Connectivity Technologies and Ecosystems Manager, Meta and member of the TIP Open Optical and OpenWiFi Program Groups. “It also eliminates the need to introduce additional controllers opening new deployment use cases, such as Wi-Fi networks built for the public, hospitality, sports and entertainment and retail segments, not previously addressed due to cost considerations in these markets.”

“Multinet is leading the region in open and disaggregated technology deployments and we’re excited to see how OpenWiFi will benefit Multinet’s customers,” said Kristian Toivo, Executive Director, TIP.

In Picture, from left to right: Mr. Vishal Mathur – (TIP), Mr. Adnan H. Zaidi – (COO Multinet), Mr. Bryan Tan – (Meta)

OpenWiFi is a Wi-Fi architecture based on open source that enables multi-vendor, interoperable Wi-Fi networks. TIP OpenWiFi-based solutions allow service providers, such as Multinet, to seamlessly mix and match access points and controllers from any TIP OpenWiFi compliant manufacturer to create a unified infrastructure, allowing it to easily expand its Wi-Fi footprint while maintaining a robust experience. Because it is open source, it also enables developers to create new applications quickly.

Multinet is deploying Edgecore APs integrated with their ecOpen Cloud Controller technology for their OpenWiFi network and hotspots, which are supported by high-speed optical fibre infrastructure and built in collaboration with a local System Integrator partner in Pakistan, STARCOM Technologies (Pvt) Limited.

Multinet recently announced the deployment of a 3.2 Tbps long-haul network infrastructure using TIP Open Optical and Packet Transport Technologies, demonstrating the company’s commitment to open and agile disaggregated architecture and technologies.

OpenWiFi, which will be launched in 2021, has recently announced commercial deployments in the United States with Boingo Wireless, in India with Spectra, and a trial with the City of Dublin and Virgin Media that complies with the European Commission’s WIFI4EU initiative, which is the European benchmark for public Wi-Fi deployments in Europe.

realme is Leading the Industry with a 240W Smartphone Charging Device Offering Fast Charging Solutions

Image Source: Wallpapers

realme, the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand, is setting the standard in the industry with a 240W smartphone charging device that provides fast charging solutions for everyone. According to the most recent Counterpoint report, realme is staying true to its ‘Dare to Leap’ motto by being the first in fast-charging innovations. As a young brand, realme is able to push the boundaries even further, becoming the first to introduce a 240W-capable smartphone with the fastest charging power under Type-C standards.

Leap from a Popularizer to an Industry Leader

With the goal of empowering young consumers through cutting-edge technology and design, realme continues to realise and commercialise innovation in fast-charging technology for smartphones. For example, realme was successful in bringing 65W charging technology to the realme X7 in 2020, making fast charging more accessible to everyone. Following an innovative breakthrough with the world’s fastest 150W charging technology for realme GT Neo3 in 2022, realme is developing a 240W charging technology for realme GT3 this year.

Despite being a younger brand, realme plays an important role in making fast charging solutions accessible to all. The smartphone industry has occasionally demanded higher wattages in order to reduce charging time to less than an hour. This results in realme’s innovation of offering fast charging technology in all price ranges.

For the first time, realme is introducing fast charging capabilities in smartphone devices and expects to capture a market-leading 85% sales penetration portfolio with fast charging capability by 2022. realme was also the first OEM to release a 65W capable smartphone, the realme Narzo 20 Pro, in 2020. This follows realme’s long history of introducing cutting-edge technologies to low-cost segments, compelling the smartphone industry to adopt this technology on a large scale.

240W: Industry Highest Charging Standard

During this time, realme ranked second in the mid-high to entry level premium segments for 65W capable smartphones in 2022. This means realme is also providing market-leading technology at higher price points.

The 240W figure represents the industry’s current highest standard of fast charging technology. The realme innovation will also be the world’s fastest 240W charging technology that uses a standard USB Type-C interface.

Fast-charging technology innovation has a significant impact on the overall smartphone industry. Advances in technology, particularly in the smartphone industry, have become a top priority because smartphones can now syndicate various devices with different functions that were previously available separately. With the development of new functions in smartphones, the use of such devices is becoming more intense, resulting in additional battery usage. These issues will be resolved by the presence of a charging technology innovation, such as realme’s.

Consumers are increasingly concerned with saving time while charging their smartphone batteries. Previously, they would plug in their devices for a couple of hours and wait for a full charge. However, there is an increase in content consumption, and consumers prefer to be connected without having to wait for their phones to charge. The increase in power-delivery capabilities has significantly reduced charging time, with more than 100W capable charging technology achieving full battery charge in 20-25 minutes. realme’s latest industry-first 240W power output pushes fast charging to new heights.

 

Protecting Our Youth: Why Underage Driving Is A Serious Issue in Pakistan

Image Source: Daily Times

Road safety is a major concern in Pakistan, where hundreds of thousands of accidents occur each year. Many of these incidents involve teenage drivers who are not legally permitted to drive. Underage driving has become a severe problem in Pakistan, with many young individuals putting their lives and the lives of others at danger by driving before they are legally permitted to.

In Pakistan, the legal driving age is 18 years old. Nonetheless, it is not uncommon to see children as young as 12 years old driving vehicles or riding motorbikes on the streets. This is a troubling trend since it endangers their safety as well as the safety of other drivers and pedestrians on the road.

Are parents to blame?

The absence of effective enforcement of traffic regulations is one of the primary causes of underage driving in Pakistan. Many young kids are permitted to drive by their parents, who may not have adequate driving licenses or awareness of road safety. The absence of road safety enforcement and education makes it simpler for young individuals to obtain and operate automobiles without the requisite training or legal papers.

Additionally, among young people, driving a vehicle or motorbike is seen as a mark of prestige and freedom. As a result of this view, there has been an upsurge in the number of young individuals attempting to learn to drive. They frequently disregard the reality that they are endangering their own and others’ lives by driving without a valid license.

The absence of public transport fuels this issue 

The absence of public transit is another issue that exacerbates the problem of underage driving in Pakistan. Many young people who need to commute to school or job must rely on motorbikes or other private cars, which forces them to learn to drive at an early age. This is frequently done without sufficient training, which can result in traffic accidents.

Underage driving can have disastrous effects. Inexperienced teenage drivers are more prone to cause traffic accidents that result in damage or death. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, over 13,000 people die in road accidents in Pakistan each year, with a high proportion of these deaths involving young drivers.

To address the issue of underage driving, both the government and the general population must work together. The government must aggressively enforce traffic regulations, and parents must take responsibility for their children’s safety by ensuring that they do not operate a vehicle until they are legally permitted to do so. Furthermore, more investment in public transit is needed to minimize the number of young people who are compelled to rely on private automobiles to move about.

In conclusion, a lack of appropriate enforcement of traffic regulations and education about road safety has resulted in an increase in the number of young individuals driving without a license, endangering their own and others’ lives. It is time for the government and the general people to take action to protect our young by stopping them from driving before they are legally able to. Not only will this save lives, but it will also foster a safer and more responsible driving culture in Pakistan.

The Mukaab – What Is This Giant Cube That Saudi Arabia Is Working On?

Source: AL-Hamd

Saudi Arabia has been building a gigantic monument in the city of Riyadh, which has sparked considerable debate and conjecture. The construction is known as the Mukaab, and it is a cube-shaped edifice that will be the largest in the world. The Mukaab, with a height of nearly 1,000 meters, will tower above the surrounding terrain, serving as a symbol of the country’s might and influence.

The Mukaab is being constructed as part of the country’s Vision 2030 initiative, which intends to diversify the economy and lessen reliance on oil. The program consists of a number of projects aimed at improving the country’s infrastructure, encouraging tourism, and fostering new businesses. The Mukaab is considered a critical component of this development since it is intended to draw millions of tourists each year and produce considerable cash for the government.

What exactly is the Mukaab?

The Mukaab, at its heart, is a gigantic cube-shaped structure that will serve as a multi-purpose center for religious and cultural events. The structure will hold a mosque, a conference center, a museum, and a hotel, among other things. There will also be observation decks and viewing platforms, providing tourists with amazing views of the surrounding region

Yet it’s the Mukaab’s sheer girth that truly distinguishes it. When finished, the structure will be the highest in the world, topping even Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. It will be seen from a long distance away and will act as a significant landmark in the area. The Mukaab will also have a number of cutting-edge technology and amenities, such as a high-speed elevator system, sophisticated lighting and temperature control systems, and a sophisticated security and surveillance network.

What is the controversy around it? 

While the Mukaab is an incredible technical marvel, it has also received considerable criticism and controversy. Others have questioned the prudence of erecting such a big tower in a region already plagued by water shortages and other environmental issues. Others have questioned the project’s cost, which is anticipated to be in the billions of dollars.

Notwithstanding these reservations, the Saudi government has continued to pursue the project, viewing it as an important component of its efforts to change the country’s economy and image. The Mukaab is projected to be finished within the next several years, and its influence on the area and the globe as a whole remains to be seen.

It will be a multi-purpose center for religious and cultural events. Despite considerable criticism and controversy, the project remains a symbol of the country’s might and prestige, and it is expected to draw millions of tourists each year.
