Here’s how I used AI to clone a 60 Minutes correspondent’s voice to trick a colleague into handing over her passport number. I cloned Sharyn’s voice then manipulated the caller ID to show Sharyn’s name with a spoofing tool. The hack took 5 minutes total for me to steal the info. https://t.co/bYUooZWOiH

ChatGPT is a statistical representation of things found on the web, which will increasingly include ITS OWN output (directly and second hand). You post something picked up from it & it will use it to reinforce its own knowledge. Progressively a self-licking lollipop. Enjoy #AI https://t.co/l7q0FhnurS

Supernova never fail to impress. This is a single star becoming visible for a week or so inside a galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars. There is a lot of energy available when gravity gets to work on clouds of hydrogen and helium. Great photo @xRMMike ! https://t.co/jyTriSHKH3

"After all, who would be deterred from an international vacation by the prospect of paying another 20% for it? Only those who might not be able to afford it." @peegeekay's alt take on India's virtually clownish 20% tax on foreign vacations. The Nutgraf 👉🏾https://t.co/voXFQwsP8E https://t.co/xSiLTKgg4u

What utter nonsense this is, @RBI ! You're losing total respect with everyone in India. This presumption that everyone is a criminal is not how a decent central bank is expected to behave. https://t.co/Uk9RRZCS6U

2000-Rupee notes are BEING WITHDRAWN from circulation. Please note this is NOT demonetisation of the notes. They remain legal tender . That means you can go to a shop and buy goods with it. Please spread this word, before people panic @RBI @CNBCTV18News 1/

A family of four travels abroad and only one earner. Retired people may have savings but no income. People travel for work - my first five years I barely had taxable income but needed three passports for the visas. Easily explains any difference, if there was thought put to it. https://t.co/kV7hBj9HT9

This is big. By removing rule 7, this changes the game. Every international credit card transaction, from today, made by an individual => will be under LRS limits. Means 5% TCS till July 1. And 20% Tax collected at source after that. (Can be adjusted against other taxes) https://t.co/kCzgoYpDa2

Quite legit actually. The Icelandic rabid explorer Erik the Red, who established the first settlement on Greenland, decided to name it so to scam Icelandic people into taking long, expensive, one-way trips to settle on the land. Half the people died before they reached Greenland. https://t.co/dgdmPy6XrE
