During Tuesday’s presidential debate, former President Donald Trump repeated unfounded claims that Haitian immigrants “are eating dogs and cats … eating people’s pets” in Springfield, Ohio. “The fact that Donald Trump wants to double down on something so ridiculous just breaks my heart again,” Smith said. The rumor follows years of insults hurled at Haitians and Haitian Americans, including unfounded claims of cannibalism, and Trump’s hostility toward Haitian immigrants during his administration. “I work every day with Haitian immigrants, and no one works as hard as them,” he said. “It’s really unreal.”On social media, Haitians have expressed disgust about the depiction, while others “won’t even entertain something so crazy,” Smith said.

Read previewSome AI leaders are starting to ask themselves the question: should we be buying the hype? Almost a year and a half on from the launch of ChatGPT, the hype around the technology is seemingly everywhere. AI image generator Stability AI also lost its chief, Emad Mostaque, amid reports of financial pressure. Others though, like Google deep learning expert François Chollet, are keen to stress just how far off human intelligence today's AI models actually are. Until some real signs of money-making, human-level intelligence do emerge, expect more to call it all hype.

CNN —Fashion writer Patrick Mauriès first met Karl Lagerfeld in 1981, after he quoted the fashion designer in a short book he had written about contemporary fashion and culture. As Lagerfeld became more of a public figure in the 1990s and 2000s, he increasingly sought homes that could act as retreats, said Mauriès.

The more than 750 study participants were given real tasks, including "creative product innovation" assignments. The study found that people using AI faired much better than those working without it when it came to creative product innovation tasks. About 90% of the participants improved their performance when using AI for any task involving ideation and content creation. People's problem-solving skills far outweigh the help offered by AI, Candelon said. They will get replaced by humans using AI," he told the outlet.

Then, after a series of defeats in Egypt, Napoleon returned to France in 1799 and left many of the scientists stranded. At the time of Napoleon's invasion, travelers had long known of Alexandria, Cairo, and other parts of Lower Egypt. Just 21 and a botanist by training when he arrived in Egypt, Savigny collected invertebrates like worms, bees, spiders, snails, and flies. The Rosetta Stone helped Champollion discover how to decipher hieroglyphsFor centuries, no one could read hieroglyphs, the pictorial writing that covered many Egyptian monuments. When the French found the Rosetta Stone during their invasion, they knew it could serve as a kind of translation key.

In 1847, Louis-François Cartier opened a modest jewelry workshop in Paris where he sold crystal bracelets, strands of pearls and brooches with floral motifs. In 1914, Louis Cartier met Jeanne Toussaint, the Belgian French style icon who would become his muse and rumored lover. Often immaculately dressed in her signature turban and silk pajamas, she captivated Cartier, who recruited her to oversee the house’s handbags and silver accessories. When Toussaint was appointed the creative director of the brand’s jewelry department in 1933, she, too, found unlikely inspiration in utilitarian objects: gas hoses, bolts and even handcuffs. Now, Cartier is revisiting Toussaint’s archival designs in the form of a ring topped with an 8.92-carat cabochon-cut emerald encircled by rounded onyx, diamonds and turquoise accents.

"I think there is evidence out there that for the right transaction for the right reasons, investors will show up," said François Carrier, co-head of Desjardins Capital Markets. But not many dealmakers are expecting a rush of supply with an uncertain macroeconomic environment still keeping secondary equity markets volatile. The shares dropped well below their first-day high, potentially limiting a comeback in Canadian equity capital raisings and IPOs. "We do not have enough data to declare the IPO market open. Our own view is that we are still 12 to 18 months away from a robust IPO market," he added.

When the summer began, ChatGPT traffic suddenly fell. One hypothesis stood out: Millions of students went on summer break, so they didn't need ChatGPT to cheat — er, I mean research. Back when summer began, online search interest in Minecraft jumped, while ChatGPT interest declined. Mark Shmulik, a top internet analyst at Bernstein, made this point at the start of the summer, when usage fell. "This idea that if the ChatGPT drop-off is due to students on summer break, that implies a narrower audience and fewer use cases."

LILLE, France, Sept 12 (Reuters) - France head coach Fabien Galthie made 12 changes to the team who beat New Zealand in the World Cup curtain raiser as Anthony Jelonch is making a long-awaited comeback to face Uruguay in Lille on Thursday. "He needed a lot of willpower, a lot of fighting spirit to be here with us," Galthie told a press conference on Tuesday. Jelonch, who underwent surgery in March and will captain the team on Thursday, said he went through periods of 'doubt'. From the team who started at the Stade de France, only lock Cameron Woki, centre Yoram Moefana and winger Gabin Villiere will be on the Pierre Mauroy stadium field at kickoff.

Security concerns clash with supply-chain needs and national export ambitions, while state-aid spats gum up the works. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will struggle to find a way forward. Von der Leyen on July 31 criticised Beijing for its geopolitical stances, but she needs to keep trade flowing. But Washington’s subsidy-heavy Inflation Reduction Act may also drive the EU closer to China because of its protectionist bent. Von der Leyen’s challenge will be to avoid a trade war or subsidies race while also being mindful of security threats.

Sam Altman, chief executive officer of OpenAI, parent company of ChatGPT, warns AI poses risk of human extinction, and Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," cautions that AI can bring a dangerous future. These AI leaders and others support intervention from the federal government and other industry leaders before AI proliferates throughout society. With rapid growth, Palmer said companies of all sizes need to track AI efforts and disclose the information publicly. After a company has established metrics for tracking AI, or even while it's figuring that out, companies need to do a risk assessment for AI, Palmer said. "Within most companies, AI doesn't have an owner," Palmer said.

Both hiked interest rates a quarter point - but only the ECB said more was to come. Without committing to it, the Fed signalled a pause in its 13-month, five percentage point tightening campaign. Money markets do partly agree with Lagarde - seeing one more quarter point rate rise in the pipeline. They now see the so-called terminal ECB rate at 3.5% in September - still a chunky 175 bps below peak Fed rates if you assume that at 5.25%, those have now reached the end of the line. "The extent of policy tightening delivered by the ECB to date is already sufficient to cause a recession," said Fidelity International's Anna Stupnytska.
March 21 (Reuters) - Adobe Inc (ADBE.O) on Tuesday rolled out a tool aimed at helping marketing departments at e-commerce stores generate product images without having to pay for as many photo shoots. It is designed to allowing marketing professionals to come up with the images they need for web pages and marketing emails. The product straddles San Jose, California-based Adobe's longtime business of generating and editing images and its newer business of supplying technology tools for marketing and e-commerce. "Big e-commerce websites, they have hundreds of people" manually creating 3D renderings, Cottin said. In the case of a shoe, for example, an artist might create a 3D model of the basic model of the shoe.
A man who was stranded at sea in a sailboat survived on almost nothing but ketchup. Following his ordeal, Heinz, famous for its ketchup, wants to connect with Elvis Francois. His resourcefulness made headlines, focusing on how he lived on a bottle of ketchup, seasoning cubes and garlic powder. "Well, Heinz wants to celebrate his safe return home and help him buy a new boat… but we can't seem to find him." If Heinz gets in touch with Francois, the company said it hopes to help him get a new boat.
All five inmates who escaped from a Missouri jail this week were in custody as of Saturday morning, the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department said. The five escaped from St. Francois County Detention Center in Farmington early Tuesday night, they said.

Five inmates escaped from St. Francois County Detention Center in Farmington, Missouri, on Tuesday night, authorities said in a statement posted to Facebook. They subsequently made their way to the ground, St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Gregory Armstrong said. The group was last seen on camera driving southbound, according to the sheriff's department officials. All of the inmates were being held on felony warrants and three of the inmates — Tucker, Sebastian and McSean — are known sex offenders, authorities said. Authorities said that if members of the public spot the fugitives, they should not approach and they should call 9-1-1.
HSBC wrapped up the deal in just eights weeks after saying it was considering selling its Canadian business in early October. From its first contact, RBC, Canada's biggest lender, told HSBC it could close the deal quickly if selected, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. After the final bids went in around mid-November, RBC said it could turn everything around in a week, the person added. In the United States, deal timelines fell by almost 30% to 66 days this year from last year, where transactions took more than one day to close, the data shows. Deal announcements are one thing but getting all the regulatory approvals to close a deal are another matter altogether.
The British Museum in London is among the world’s greatest, alongside the Louvre in Paris and the Met in New York City. Like its peers, it’s sometimes embroiled in scandals over the provenance of its artifacts. This week’s scandal concerns the jewel in the British Museum’s curatorial crown, the Rosetta Stone. It contains a decree written in Greek, ancient Egyptian demotic script, and hieroglyphs. This allowed Jean-François Champollion to decipher the latter in 1822, after decades of cooperative (and competitive) effort by scholars across Europe—an achievement the museum is now marking with a bicentennial exhibition.
The euro zone is to discuss changing its fiscal rules - a task that could have market repercussions. Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe euro zone will soon reveal changes to its fiscal rules — a move that could have significant repercussions for government borrowing costs and the region's bond markets. At the same time, Germany and the Netherlands would blame the European Commission for not enforcing the rules with fines. "Interest burden on large public debt to GDP ratios is set to increase significantly in the years ahead. This means that in a optimal scenario, the fiscal rules will be changed from 2024 onward.
Rogers' launched the deal to buy Shaw in March 2021, but the competition bureau blocked it saying it would lessen competition in a market which has among the highest wireless prices in the world. He said since the competition bureau sits under the minister, it is a signal to the bureau to settle. The competition bureau did not reply to an email seeking comment. Champagne's announcement comes as the companies start a two-day mediation process starting Thursday at the Competition Tribunal. Competition bureau has said the sale of Freedom Mobile to Quebecor is not sufficient to overcome its concerns about market concentration.
Oct 18 (Reuters) - Adobe Inc (ADBE.O) on Tuesday released a set of new software tools designed to make it easier to create three-dimensional digital objects for marketing campaigns, video games and the metaverse. But in recent years Adobe has also invested in creating three-dimensional content, a field dominated by video-game centric firms like Unity Software Inc (U.N). Such content is expected to factor prominently in the metaverse, the virtual world that Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) and others are counting on for future revenue growth. "It's only with augmented reality and with 3D that you can do that," Cottin said. The second Adobe tool released Tuesday allows artists to switch between editing a three-dimensional object on a desktop computer to manipulating it with their hands in a virtual reality headset.
