ANÁLISIS | ¿Cómo puede afectar la insurrección de Wagner a la contraofensiva ucraniana en macha?

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:01:36 GMT

(CNN Español) — Fueron casi dos días de tensión extrema en el corazón de Rusia: una columna insurrecta del grupo Wagner, con su propio líder Yevgeny Prigozhin a la cabeza, lanzada en dirección a Moscú, alejándose del frente en Ucrania, con objetivos no del todo claros aún.En el camino tomaron ciudades, como Rostov, presuntamente derribaron un avión IL-22 de la Fuerza Aérea rusa (el Kremlin lo niega) y forzaron una respuesta del presidente Vladimir Putin, quien prometió castigar a quienes “eligieron el chantaje y los métodos terroristas”. Y luego, casi tan intempestivamente como se inició, la insurección terminó: Prigozhin frenó la columna, dio marcha atrás y recibió un ofrecimiento para exiliarse en Belarús, aliado de Rusia.ANÁLISIS | 36 horas extrañas y caóticas en Rusia parecen el principio del fin para PutinLas fuerzas del grupo Wagner combaten en Ucrania desde el inicio de la invasión rusa de 2022, y han cobrado mayor notoriedad por su participación en el frent...

How to protect yourself from ‘deepfake’ AI robocall scams

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:01:36 GMT

A recent consumer survey by Transaction Network Services, a telecommunications service provider based in Reston, Virginia, found two-thirds of Americans are concerned about artificial intelligence-generated “deepfake” robocalls.These scam callers can use AI to mimic the voice of a victim’s friend or family member to gather personal information or ask for money.The AI technology to do that doesn’t take much.“It takes less than 10 seconds of video that could be scraped from a popular social media app that could be used to acquire the voice that gives enough information to do a replica of that voice,” said John Haraburda, director of product management at TNS.The AI robocall scams TNS has seen include those trying to acquire information, or those soliciting money directly.TNS reports 68% of those it surveyed say they never answer a phone call from an unknown number, but robocall scammers can mask their calls with caller ID numbers that are familiar —...

Book Review: Explosive debut novel ‘Fireworks Every Night’ is a bittersweet celebration of survival

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:01:36 GMT

“Fireworks Every Night” by Beth Raymer (Random House)C.C.’s isn’t your typical rags-to-riches story. She remembers growing up in a single-wide with her older sister, stay-at-home mom and car-salesman dad. But she also remembers when they moved to Florida after everything in the car lot burned down — including their home — launching them into a comfortable middle-class life and a fresh start in a state her dad proudly brags has fireworks every night.“Fireworks Every Night” is Beth Raymer’s debut novel, but not her first book. Following her 2010 memoir “Lay the Favorite,” she borrows from her life to create a deeply personal story of a dysfunctional family. Having grown up in West Palm Beach, Raymer puts her local knowledge to use as her protagonist — a resident of Loxahatchee, Florida — rattles off the schools she plays basketball against, and how worn down or rich they are. She’s familiar with the Baker Act and who’s been institutionalized through its use. She knows all the neighbor...

Supreme Court drops case concerning Trump hotel records

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:01:36 GMT

(CNN) — The Supreme Court on Monday dropped a case concerning a lower court opinion that allowed for a handful of members of Congress to sue a government agency for records related to the Washington, DC, hotel once owned by former President Donald Trump.The court’s move is likely because the lawmakers were no longer pursuing the case.It means the justices will save for another day the issue of whether it is ever appropriate for a minority of members of a congressional committee to be able to demand executive branch documents.The case raised questions about when members of Congress – and not a full committee – had the legal right to sue an executive agency for documents under a specific federal law, Section 2954.While most of the documents related to the Trump hotel deal had already been turned over, the dispute was expected to resolve whether challenges brought by lawmakers in the minority could go forward in future cases.The Biden administration argued that if the lower court rulin...
