Claude reaches Brazil: a new chatbot pledges to offer more authentic texts compared to ChatGPT.

The Artificial Intelligence market in Brazil is expanding, especially with the introduction of Claude, a chatbot created by Anthropic. Claude aims to rival ChatGPT by producing more human-like and fluid texts for users.

What sets Claude apart?

ChatGPT is recognized for its structured text, which may appear rigid. In contrast, Claude is known for its flexibility in writing style, resulting in more human-like texts that are not limited by standard formats. This quality can enhance interactions with AI, making them more enjoyable and comprehensible.

After a year of testing in the US, Anthropic opted to broaden Claude’s reach to other areas such as Brazil. Initially, Claude’s performance in Portuguese lagged behind that in English. Nevertheless, recent technological advancements have addressed this issue. Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram and product director at Anthropic, conveyed that the team dedicated significant effort to enhance Claude’s proficiency across various languages.

Claude is already accessible in approximately 175 nations. In Portugal, where it debuted in May of this year, the AI was lauded for its writing capabilities, drawing from trustworthy sources and providing clear explanations. These qualities suggest the potential for Claude to deliver a top-notch service in Brazil as well.

Is there no cost?

Claude currently provides a complimentary version for users to try out its newest AI model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which has been described as outperforming GPT-4 and Gemini in language and reasoning assessments but struggles with mathematical problems.

Anthropic provides paid plans starting at R$ 100 for users seeking enhanced access, which is seen as a reasonable cost for those interested in experiencing the benefits of this innovative technology. Additionally, Claude is conveniently accessible through Android and iOS apps, as well as its web platform, ensuring easy access across various devices.

Xiaomi will not make it easy to turn off advertisements on your cell phones.

Xiaomi has built a large following by introducing smartphones at affordable prices with impressive features, but many customers are frustrated by the advertisements on the phone’s interface. Disabling them can be difficult, and it appears that the company is not focused on making this process easier for users.

No alterations

Xiaomi is reportedly considering adding a feature to the settings menu that would allow users to turn off system ads completely, although it may not be included in HyperOS right away.

The company acknowledged its intention to enhance user experience by decreasing the number of pre-installed apps and content display entry pages, as stated to the Android Authority website.

The statement clearly stated that they are not considering adding a tool to easily disable ads because only a few users would find and use it.

Users currently need to locate the “MSA” application in the system settings and access the specific settings for each app like “File Manager”, “Music”, and “Downloads” in order to disable ads.

Excluding a basic button from the menu interface is a choice that will likely disappoint numerous users, particularly given the complexity of the process required to disable all ads.

US Justice Department accuses Google of engaging in an unlawful monopoly.

A federal judge in the US ruled on Monday that Google has unlawfully established a monopoly in two sectors: search and text advertising. The case, initiated by the government in 2020, alleged that Google maintained its dominance in the search market through barriers to entry and a feedback loop that reinforced its position, thus violating the Sherman Act’s Section 2 against monopolies.

Judge Amit Mehta from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia accused Google of protecting its monopoly. The Justice Department and a bipartisan coalition of 38 states and territories, spearheaded by Colorado and Nebraska, brought forth comparable antitrust cases in 2020, which were consolidated for preliminary rulings. Google faced antitrust allegations in Europe as well in 2017, resulting in a €2.42 billion fine for distorting search results.

Attorney General Merrick Garland described the ruling as a significant win for the American public, underscoring that no corporation can evade legal consequences. The ruling centered on Google’s exclusive search agreements on Android and Apple devices, asserting that they reinforced anticompetitive practices and Google’s control over the search industry.

The court decided that Google functioned as a monopoly in general search services and text advertising related to searches. Nonetheless, the ruling stated that general-search advertising does not form a market, thus monopoly control is not possible.

Kent Walker, the president of global affairs at Google, stated that the company plans to challenge the ruling, emphasizing the excellence of Google’s products. Alphabet’s shares dropped by more than 4% on Monday due to a broader global decline in stocks.

Research suggests that Venezuela is experiencing a significant surge in hacker attacks following the elections.

Venezuela’s recent presidential elections in July were marked by a disputed outcome, leading to the current president claiming victory and the opposition seeking international assistance. Amidst the street demonstrations, a significant conflict emerged in the digital realm, indicating a notable shift in Venezuela’s cyber landscape.

Research indicates a rise in cyber attacks in Venezuela.

ASERT NETSCOUT was among the first to notice a notable shift in Venezuela’s online landscape following the elections. Just one day after the vote on July 29, internet traffic to the country surged by 109 Gbps, marking a 16% rise from the day before. This abrupt uptick in traffic signaled that political unrest was manifesting in the digital realm.

ASERT NETSCOUT observed a significant rise in DDoS attacks, which surged by ten times on July 29 amidst increased online traffic. This spike reflects a trend of utilizing such attacks for online protest or political activism, particularly targeting Venezuelan networks to disrupt them.

Most DDoS attacks in Venezuela involve UDP reflection and amplification, with the majority utilizing DNS reflection/amplification. These attacks mainly target a specific telecommunications provider hosting online infrastructure for a political party claiming election victory.

The DDoS attacks that were witnessed did not involve large amounts of data, but their frequency and timing made them significantly disruptive. ASERT NETSCOUT emphasized the necessity of establishing strong DDoS defense systems to safeguard networks from such seemingly minor attacks that could lead to significant disruptions.

Conclusion

Internet traffic has risen sharply, leading to a surge in DDoS attacks. This shows that political conflicts now extend to digital security, highlighting the need for strong cyber protection measures, particularly during challenging times, to maintain online service stability.

Venezuela prohibits social network X (previously known as Twitter) following Maduro’s prosecution.

Venezuela has chosen to prohibit the social media platform X (previously known as Twitter) following a decision made by President Nicolás Maduro. The ban, requested by the Venezuelan leader, is set to last for 10 days. Maduro accused Elon Musk, the platform’s owner, of playing a role in a cyber attack against the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela. Alongside the ban, the current president also expressed disapproval of the entrepreneur.

Nicolás Maduro prohibits X in Venezuela and censures Elon Musk.

Maduro criticized the entrepreneur for violating platform rules and promoting hatred and conflict in Venezuela, leading to the immediate blocking of the social network X by the country’s telecommunications regulatory body.

The France-Press agency (AFP) reported that starting at 9 p.m. on Thursday, access to social network X in Venezuela is now limited to VPNs due to a temporary 10-day blockade imposed by the government as part of a series of recent actions against social networks.

Maduro recently accused other platforms of encouraging violence in the country and recommended that citizens switch to apps like Telegram and WeChat instead of WhatsApp.

Maduro and Musk have had public disagreements before, especially since the Venezuelan elections, with both exchanging accusations on social media platform X.

Countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia currently do not acknowledge Maduro’s win in the elections and are requesting the publication of electoral records, which is heightening global pressure on the Venezuelan administration.
