North Korean Activity in the Casino and Gaming Sector: How Do Jurisdictions Respond?
Allison Owen and Chandana Seshadri 3 September 2024Long Read RUSI. READ FULL REPORT(PDF 687KB) https://static.rusi.org/north-korean-activity-in-casino-gaming-industry_0.pdf This paper outlines proliferation finance activity tied to the casino and gaming sector, as well as the emergence of new avenues of exploitation that authorities should analyse as part of their national risk assessment process. Criminal actors exploit under-regulated aspects of the casino and gaming sector to launder and move illicit assets across jurisdictions. This threat is further compounded by the reported involvement of cryptocurrency as a means to move and obfuscate criminal assets. As a result of this shift in design, a new global illicit marketplace has emerged … Continue reading North Korean Activity in the Casino and Gaming Sector: How Do Jurisdictions Respond?
Gen AI: Analysis, conclusion and some informed speculation
Summary of overall Gen AI Status Several key breakthroughs are suggested as necessary for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Productivity growth levels comparable to those seen during the Industrial Revolution through AGI development will likely require extensive interdisciplinary collaboration across multiple fields Analysis, conclusion and some informed speculation In the last two years Generative Artificial Intellligence (Gen AI) has experienced growth in several fronts but can be summarised as funding and technological advancement fronts. Funding has to a fair exent seen growth thrown at Gen AI exponentially, to the extent of … Continue reading Gen AI: Analysis, conclusion and some informed speculation
Crypto remains a solution in search of a problem – Krugman
By Paul Krugman Opinion Columnist NYT “Then there’s cryptocurrency, which isn’t quite like other parts of the technology sector. Whatever you think of Musk, Tesla produces a real product with real uses; so, in a different way, does PayPal, the initial source of Thiel’s vast wealth. Crypto, by contrast, remains a solution in search of a problem. But a couple of months ago, there was Bernie Moreno, the pro-crypto Republican candidate for Ohio’s other Senate seat, at a bitcoin convention asking, “Are you sick of these politicians who say bitcoin is for drug dealing and money laundering?” Actually, no: I’m sick of … Continue reading Crypto remains a solution in search of a problem – Krugman
The Intelligence Age – Sam Altman
Sam Altman is solidifying his position as a leader in AI and the shift towards to AGI, and ASI (Superintelligence). I must admit I have not seen tangible staps towards AGI indicated from Altman (more on that here coming at Bankwatch) but he is setting the tone and exemplifying the power in that belief which I share and appreciate, given the mantra of this blog. My belief is that AI is stuck in single use siloed basic automation of current processes. The missing and next level will see collaboration between domains of digitisation, physcology, science, expontelly larger language models, and … Continue reading The Intelligence Age – Sam Altman
Sam Altman Pitches Utopian impact of Accepting UAE Oil Money Funding
Sam Altman Pitches Utopian impact of Accepting UAE Oil Money Funding The future of AI is bright, it’s AGI of Sam Altman’s variety where the elites work together against our common enemies. MICHAEL SPENCER SEP 24, 2024 ∙ PAID “In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents.” – Sam Altman (in his latest Op-Ed). Hello Everyone, Things are getting weird in AI again, OpenAI thinks it’s worth $150 Billion while Anthropic thinks it’s worth $40 Billion, while Sam Altman penned an essay that feels like it was written by AI. Upgrade … Continue reading Sam Altman Pitches Utopian impact of Accepting UAE Oil Money Funding
