Posts falsely claim viral video shows flooded bridge in Nepal
A viral video claiming to show a flooded bridge in Nepal is debunked by Nepal Check, revealing it actually depicts a flood in Swat Valley, Pakistan, from over a year ago.

Remote Work Statistics Survey Reveals Insights into Home Office Habits and Productivity
The article discusses the findings of TalentLMS' Remote Work Statistics Survey, which asked 450 full-time remote workers about their work habits and environments. It reveals that 70% of remote workers receive company-provided training, with 87% receiving regular training, mostly online. Despite this, 67% would like more training. The survey also highlights that 31% have a dedicated home office, and 79% do not find background noise to be a problem. Communication tools like Skype, WhatsApp, and Google Hangouts are frequently used to maintain contact with teams and supervisors. Contrary to skepticism about remote work, 90% of respondents feel more productive working remotely. The article suggests that remote work is not vastly different from traditional office work and encourages companies to invest in training for remote employees to enhance productivity.

This trend is observed in various countries, including the US, UK, Germany, Poland, Tunisia, China, and South Korea. The divide is attributed to economic resentment and cultural differences, influenced by social media and extremist content. Despite this, overall support for gender equality is increasing.

OpenAI Suspends ByteDance's Account for Illicit Use of Its AI
ByteDance faced a suspension of its account by OpenAI after a report by The Verge revealed the Chinese giant was using OpenAI's technology to develop its own large language model (LLM), violating OpenAI's terms of service. Despite being aware of the restrictions, ByteDance relied on OpenAI's API for every stage of its 'Project Seed' model development, including training and evaluation. Internal communications suggested employees knew about the misuse and discussed data desensitization to hide evidence. The suspension occurred after Chinese regulators approved ByteDance's chatbot Doubao, and the company had instructed employees to cease using OpenAI's API for LLM development, although it was still used for performance evaluation. OpenAI's spokesperson Niko Felix stated that ByteDance's API use was minimal but the account was suspended pending further investigation, with potential demands for changes or account closure if non-compliance was found.

Putin Nominated for 2024 Election Amidst Suppression of Opposition
The article reports on the nomination of Vladimir Putin as a presidential candidate for the 2024 election by a group of pro-Putin celebrities. The nomination is seen as a formality in Putin's anticipated landslide victory in an election where genuine opposition is suppressed, and voting is expected to be heavily manipulated. Alexei Navalny, Putin's main opponent, is imprisoned and barred from elections. Concerns for Navalny's safety have increased since his location has been concealed by the Kremlin. The article also mentions a failed assassination attempt on Navalny by the FSB using Novichok. The group nominating Putin includes figures like Mikhail Kuznetsov and Andrey Turchak, as well as pro-Kremlin celebrities. The article touches on the 2020 constitutional amendments that allow Putin to run for additional terms, effectively granting him the potential to be a dictator for life, and cites election specialist Alexander Kireyev's analysis of the rigged votes.

Tech jobs: the UK IT sector is growing, but employs less women
The UK technology sector has seen an increase in employment, with 1.534 million people employed between April and June 2023, despite recent layoffs from companies like BT. However, the number of women in tech has declined, with 485,000 women employed in the sector compared to 488,000 in the previous quarter. In contrast, male employment in tech has increased. The number of tech job vacancies is also falling faster than in other industries, with a 31.5% year-on-year decrease. Experts highlight that while there was a surge in women entering the tech workforce post-pandemic, the industry has struggled to maintain this progress. The return to office policies by major tech firms like Google, Apple, and Microsoft may further impact women's participation in the sector. The UK government acknowledges the challenges and aims to support tech companies through initiatives like the Digital Markets Bill.

Snapchat’s AR is still a work in progress in the eyes of marketers
Snapchat's augmented reality (AR) advertising is seen as a work in progress by marketers. While retail advertisers are keen on using Snapchat's AR ads, the platform's AR capabilities are not yet considered essential for all advertisers. The closure of Snap's enterprise AR division has raised concerns, but there is still optimism for future investment in AR. Big brands like OPI, Disney, and Tiffany&Co have found success with AR campaigns on Snapchat, and the platform claims significant user engagement with AR features. However, the perception of AR as an experimental ad format persists, and its effectiveness varies by client and industry. Snapchat is reevaluating its AR strategy, aiming to demonstrate its full-funnel potential and drive conversions. The platform's appeal to Gen Z and younger millennials makes it a viable option for certain niches, particularly retail.
