The Kremlin has accused the United States of orchestrating the drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Kremlin, which it claims was carried out by Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that “decisions on such attacks are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington,” and that the Kremlin is increasing security in Moscow ahead of Victory Day celebrations. The White House National Security Council, however, denies any involvement in the reported incident. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also denied any involvement, stating that they “fight on our territory.” Russia claims that the Vatican has no detailed plans for resolving the conflict in Ukraine, despite Pope Francis’ consistent calls for peace. Meanwhile, Mr Zelensky has visited the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which in March issued an arrest warrant for Mr Putin for alleged deportation of children from Ukraine.

Dr Rupert Sheldrakes Investigations into the Inherent Nature of Memory and the Limitations of Artificial Intelligence
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake has dedicated his career to investigating the inherent nature of memory, which he believes is a fundamental aspect of nature itself. In his view, artificial intelligence (AI) has limitations, despite its impressive ability to perform tasks such as playing chess, recognizing faces, and other impressive feats. Sheldrake contends that digital computers lack consciousness and true intelligence. To find these qualities in the computer world, Sheldrake suggests starting afresh with analog computers, which are inherently holistic and can incorporate indeterminism. Similarly, Quantum Computing, which involves probabilistic processes, is seen as promising for developing true intelligence in machines. John Coates, however, believes that digital systems can simulate probabilistic processes by simply adjusting temperature. Overall, Sheldrake’s investigations into memory and the limitations of AI offer valuable insights into the potential of analog and quantum computing to achieve true intelligence.
Google Turns Defensive to Protect Its AI Leadership and Future Amidst ChatGPTs Rise

Nordstrom Closes All San Francisco Stores Due to Citys Soaring Crime Rates and Changing Dynamics
Nordstrom has made the decision to close all of its San Francisco stores due to the city’s “changed dynamics” and soaring crime rates. The Westfield Mall location will close by the end of August, while the Nordstrom Rack across the street will close by July 1. Other major retailers, including Whole Foods and Office Depot, have also closed their San Francisco locations due to the deteriorating situation in the downtown area. In response to the rampant crime, Target has implemented security measures, such as locking up their entire stock behind glass, in an effort to deter shoplifters. Nordstrom’s chief stores officer, Jamie Nordstrom, attributed the reduced foot traffic and inability to operate successfully in San Francisco as reasons for the closures. The decision to close all San Francisco stores will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the city’s retail industry.

Texas Regulators Crack Down on Fake Elon Musk Coin and AI Investment Scam
The Lone Star State is taking action against scammers who are targeting unsuspecting investors with fake Elon Musk coins and AI scams. In a bid to crack down on fraudulent activity, Texas regulators have filed an emergency cease and desist order against Horatiu Charlie Caragaceanu, The Shark of Wall Street, and Hedge4.ai, demanding the termination of an “Artificial intelligence investment scam” that promotes TruthGPT Coin using fake animated avatars and images of Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. The Texas State Securities Board is proactively investigating trendy offerings that may pose a threat to the public, and TruthGPT Coin and its creator came to their attention during routine market surveillance looking into various artificial intelligence offerings. The TruthGPT Coin and Elon Musk AI Token were launched in March as a new digital asset investment campaign, and the tokens are being marketed online through avatars portraying Elon Musk endorsing TruthGPT Coin and comparing it to ChatGPT, with the claim that purchasers can earn up to 1,000 times their investment. Texas regulators are raising the alarm over scammers capitalizing on the massive popularity of AI tools, and are taking every step possible to protect investors from fraudulent activities.
Unsuccessful Smear Campaign Megyn Kelly Addresses Latest Attempts to Destroy Tucker Carlson and Fox News
Megyn Kelly recently spoke out on the ongoing smear campaign against Tucker Carlson and Fox News, highlighting the failed attempts to destroy Carlson through leaked texts and videos. Despite the relentless efforts to tarnish his reputation, Fox News continues to stand by Carlson, reinforcing the importance of holding the media accountable in the age of smear campaigns.

As Kelly questions whether Carlson’s fans will eventually return to Fox, it is clear that the importance of standing by trusted journalists in the face of baseless attacks cannot be understated.
Kremlin Claims Drone Attack on Moscow Ukraine Denies Involvement
On Wednesday, the Kremlin claimed that it had been hit by a drone attack, while Ukraine has denied any involvement. President Putin’s office has pledged to retaliate against Ukraine following the drone attack. The timing of the attack was tied to the upcoming Victory Day parade, which is a significant holiday in Russia. However, the way that the Kremlin announced the apparent attack raises questions about its authenticity. The Kremlin released footage of the drones on fire, apparently intercepted electronically. However, analysts dispute this claim, as some footage shows an aerial object exploding and shedding debris over the roof of a building. Furthermore, Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, has questioned how a drone that the Kremlin’s defenses were able to detect was first able to penetrate Russian territorial airspace.
Despite the inconsistencies in the Kremlin’s claims, Moscow banned all drone flights in the capital following the announcement. Putin’s office has since stated that events on Victory Day will proceed as planned, although it reserves the right to retaliate against Ukraine when and where it sees fit. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has denied any involvement and has stated that Ukraine is fighting on its territory to defend its villages and cities.
Exploring the Controversial Theory of Dr Rupert Sheldrake Memory as an Inherent Property of Nature and the Potential of AI to Exhibit True Consciousness
In this article, we delve into the fascinating and controversial theory of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, who believes that memory is an inherent property of nature. Dr. Sheldrake has spent the last forty years of his career investigating slippery, esoteric phenomena, and we explore his findings in detail. We also examine the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to exhibit true consciousness, a topic that has sparked lively debate in recent years. While Dr. Sheldrake is skeptical of AI’s ability to truly replicate human consciousness, there are engineers who claim that these systems are already capable of exhibiting true intelligence and consciousness. However, understanding the limitations of AI is crucial when discussing this topic. We examine the differences between digital, analog, and quantum computing, and explore why some experts believe that analog and quantum computing systems may hold more promise for achieving true consciousness. Finally, we offer insights from an engineer who has developed technology highly dependent on AI. John Coates explains how setting the temperature of the model simulates probabilistic processes in these digital AI systems to exhibit true intelligence consciousness. By exploring diverse perspectives on this complex topic, we hope to offer readers a more nuanced understanding of the potential and limitations of AI and the nature of consciousness itself.
