Ahmedabad. 28 April 2020, Tuesday

The easier it is to spread rumors and fake news on social media, the harder it is to monitor. But if the social media company wants to see it, it can curb it in the blink of an eye.

Fake news spread like wildfire on social media after the Corona virus spread around the world. WhatsApp then restricted message forwarding to one person, before any message could be forwarded to five people at once.

WhatsApp's trick to curb rumors has worked. Forwarded messages on WhatsApp have dropped by 70 per cent since the company's decision. WhatsApp has provided the information.

WhatsApp released a statement saying there was a 70 per cent drop in fast forwarding messages. What is special is that this change has been seen in just two weeks after the launch of the feature.

The World Health Organization also warned all countries around the world about the news going viral on social media. Let's say that if a message is forwarded more than five times, then WhatsApp considers it as a highly forwarded message.

It is to be mentioned that in the year 2018, WhatsApp first curbed forwarding, after which a message was forwarded to five people at a time. The decision to limit message forwarding to five was followed by a 25 per cent drop in viral messages. Two years later, the technique has reduced viral messaging by 79 percent.

Big breakthrough for scientists: AI will recreate dreams and put them on paper

Image
Tokyo, dt. 11 March 2023 Saturday Scientists have achieved great success in scanning the brain with the help of AI. Now what our brain will see even in dreams, AI will recreate it and put it on paper. Researchers Shinji Nishimoto and Yu Takagi from Japan's Osaka University have converted brain activity into high-resolution images using AI. Previously, AI was used to create facial images. For the first time text to image generation stable diffusion AI algorithm has been used. Previously, AI algorithms used to decode brain scans depended only on data sets. What are the benefits? This allows people's dreams to be recorded. Learning about people with paralysis can help. This can provide insights into how animals and birds see and understand the world. Why is scanning done?
