Published: Jun 11 2024, 6 pmeznews.inThe rise of 'death capitalism' is enabling individuals to reconnect with deceased loved ones through artificial intelligence (AI), a phenomenon that has garnered attention from researchers and technologists. MIT professor Sherry Turkle highlights the historical quest for communication with the dead, from seances to modern AI innovations, exemplified by Apple's recent announcement of Apple Intelligence. A poignant case is Christi Angel, who used Project December to interact with a digital version of her late friend Cameroun, only to receive unsettling responses about being in "hell." This unpredictability, described by Project December creator Jason Rohrer as an AI "black box" problem, raises concerns about the emotional impact on users. The documentary *Eternal You* explores these themes, illustrating personal narratives like that of Jang Ji-sung, who sought closure through a digital recreation of her deceased daughter, underscoring the complex intersection of technology, grief, and human connection.
Published: Jul 27 2024, 11 ameznews.inBENGALURU: The shocking murder of 24-year-old Kriti Kumari at a Bengaluru hostel has sparked national outrage. The police have arrested Abhishek, the boyfriend of Kriti's roommate, who allegedly killed her after a series of escalating arguments over his unemployment.

Following a confrontation at the hostel, Kriti and her friend decided to move to another accommodation and ceased contact with him. This rejection reportedly incited Abhishek, culminating in the brutal attack captured on CCTV.

Published: Jul 27 2024, 10 ameznews.inChildren of Indian-American immigrants in the U.S. face potential deportation as they age out of dependent visa statuses upon turning 21. Approximately 250,000 children of legal immigrants, many of whom are Indian, are at risk of self-deportation if they cannot secure alternative residency options. The White House has attributed the legislative deadlock to Republican opposition to bipartisan proposals aimed at protecting these "Documented Dreamers." A coalition of 43 lawmakers recently urged the Biden Administration to take immediate action, highlighting the lengthy green-card backlog that leaves families waiting for years. Advocates, including the organization Improve The Dream, emphasize the need for urgent policy changes, noting that many of these young adults have grown up in the U.S. and contributed to society. Without intervention, they face separation from their families and the loss of their established lives in America, raising concerns about the economic and moral implications of such a situation.

The boycott was initiated by Tamil Nadu's MK Stalin and supported by leaders from Congress-ruled states and others, reflecting widespread discontent among the opposition.

Published: Jul 27 2024, 9 ameznews.inScientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have made significant progress towards creating element 120, the heaviest known element, by successfully producing two atoms of livermorium (element 116) using a titanium particle beam. This breakthrough, announced at the Nuclear Structure 2024 conference, marks a pivotal step in the quest for element 120. The experiment utilized the lab's heavy-ion accelerator, the 88-inch Cyclotron, with results set to be detailed in a forthcoming paper on arXiv. Jacklyn Gates, a nuclear scientist leading the research, emphasized the importance of this reaction, stating it had never been demonstrated before. While creating element 120 is expected to be an even rarer achievement, the success with livermorium suggests it may be attainable with further research, though experts estimate it could take ten times longer to synthesize than livermorium. Reiner Kruecken, director of the lab's Nuclear Science Division, expressed optimism about the feasibility of this goal.
