Scientists study asteroids to learn more about the early solar system and the conditions that existed when the planets were forming. Asteroids can also provide valuable resources such as water, metals, and other minerals. Research on asteroids is critical since it can provide valuable information on the early stages of the solar system and planetary development. Furthermore, these celestial bodies might contain useful resources such as metals and water, which may be utilized in forthcoming space missions. NASA, with the help of its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, has recently tracked the asteroid that is set to pass Earth today, December 15, and shed light on details such as its speed, distance of approach, and more.
Western monopoly in AI 'dangerous, and unacceptable', says Russia's Vladimir Putin
26.11.2023 - 01:33 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Vladimir Putin / Ai
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a plan to endorse a national strategy for the development of artificial intelligence, emphasizing that it's essential to prevent a Western monopoly.
Speaking at an AI conference in Moscow, Putin noted that “it's imperative to use Russian solutions in the field of creating reliable and transparent artificial intelligence systems that are also safe for humans.”
“Monopolistic dominance of such foreign technology in Russia is unacceptable, dangerous and inadmissible,” Putin said.
He noted that “many modern systems, trained on Western data are intended for the Western market” and “reflect that part of Western ethics, norms of behavior, public policy to which we object.”
During his more than two decades in power, Putin has overseen a multi-pronged crackdown on the opposition and civil society groups, and promoted “traditional values” to counter purported Western influence — policies that have become even more oppressive after he sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
Putin warned that algorithms developed by Western platforms could lead to a digital “cancellation” of Russia and its culture.
“An artificial intelligence created in line with Western standards and patterns could be xenophobic,” Putin said.
“Western search engines and generative models often work in a very selective, biased manner, do not take into account, and sometimes simply ignore and cancel Russian culture,” he said. “Simply put, the machine is given some kind of creative task, and it solves it using only English-language data, which is convenient and beneficial to the system developers. And so an algorithm, for example, can indicate to a machine that Russia, our culture, science, music, literature simply do not exist.”

He pledged to pour additional resources into the development of supercomputers and other technologies to help intensify national AI research.
“We are talking about expanding fundamental and applied research in the field of generative artificial intelligence and large language models,” Putin said.
“In the era of technological revolution, it is the cultural and spiritual heritage that is the key factor in preserving national identity, and therefore the diversity of our world, and the stability of international relations,” Putin said. “Our traditional values, the richness and beauty of the Russian languages and languages of other peoples of Russia must form the basis of our developments,” helping create “reliable, transparent and secure AI systems.”
Putin emphasized that trying to ban AI development would be impossible, but noted the importance of ensuring necessary safeguards.
“I am convinced that the future does not lie in bans on the development of

Tekken 8 Brings Back Classic Character Sergei Dragonov
As we get ever closer to the release of Tekken 8, gamers are intrigued by all the characters being shown off. Today, a familiar face made his return to the game via Sergei Dragunov. He’s the “White Reaper,” a serial killer who never says a word, and yet he’s one of the deadliest people you’ll find in the game. Outside of his lack of speaking, Sergei is known for embracing the Russian combat style to ensure massive damage to foes through brutal attacks. This is something that is made very clear in his reveal trailer, as he whoops multiple people with ease.

The devs of this 'freaky and grotesque' adventure game about a Russian Orthodox nun left Moscow after the invasion of Ukraine, and they're out 'to show that people and authorities are not the same thing'
Not many games have a story like Indika, a game about a 19th century Russian Orthodox nun journeying to the centre of her soul with an «unusual, horn-headed companion.» Drawing inspiration from Dostoevsky and Bulgakov and dripping with dark humour, Indika tells a tale of religion and authority, madness and belief. But also, not many games have a story like Indika, whose developer Odd Meter left Russia when the country invaded Ukraine in February last year. Calling the invasion an «insane crime» perpetrated to «satisfy the ambitions of an elderly, weak-minded dwarf,» game director and studio founder Dmitry Svetlow decided to up and move Indika's development—and the company behind it—out of Moscow to neighbouring Kazakhstan, even moving the «entire recording studio by truck.» And both of those stories make it, for me, one of the most fascinating games to grace this year's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted.

Last Train Home Review in Progress – Not your standard fare
For the Czechoslovak Legion in Last Train Home, the difficulties they face are very different from realising you’re not going to catch the 00:40 from London Victoria to Bromley and need to face up to an expensive as heck cab ride back. Instead, they face an almost impossible mission simply to survive, having to go thousands of miles away from their newly independent home of Czechoslovakia, charting passage between two sides of a cruel civil war on the way from Moscow to Vladivostok.
