Numerous competitors to Twitter have sprung up following Musk’s $44 billion purchase of the social media platform last year, which was followed by a series of chaotic decisions that have alienated both users and advertisers. He said: “To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee – that’s just not a thing’.” Responding to the letter, Meta’s communications director, Andy Stone, wrote on Threads that there are no engineers on the team that used to work at Twitter. The letter reads: “With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat ‘Threads’ app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta’s competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter. Twitter claims Meta has poached dozens of former employees in the past year – which have “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information”. It says the company has ”serious concerns” that its platforms have ”engaged in systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property”. News website Semafor published a letter by a Twitter lawyer to Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding ”Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets” or ”other highly confidential information”. Twitter has threatened Meta over its new social media platform, according to reports. It has been bubbed as the “Twitter-Killer”, and was the top free app on Apple’s App Store in the UK and the US on Thursday. Threads racked up more than 30 million sign-ups within about 18 hours of its launch on Wednesday. We have social messengers, secret messengers. Meta has launched a new app, Threads, designed to rival Twitter as an ever-growing number of users become disillusioned with Elon Musk’s app. Communicating on your phone has gone far beyond simple SMS messages and voice calls. So, while Meta is reversing course in some ways by bringing messaging back to the Facebook app, it is also trying to keep up with its competitors.What is Meta’s new app Instagram Threads? Alison wrote that the goal is to allow people to share what they discover on Facebook via messaging "when, where and how it suits their needs, without needing to switch to another app." This is similar to how TikTok allows users to share videos they discover with their friends through built-in direct messaging. One reason why Meta is bringing messaging back to the Facebook app is to make it easier for people to share content with their friends. As Alison explained in the blog post, the company is trying to "make Facebook the best place for social discovery and sharing." Meta is trying to shift Facebook away from being primarily a social platform to more of an entertainment and discovery platform in an attempt to become more competitive with TikTok. The post seeks to assure people that "Facebook is not dead nor dying," as the platform now has more than 2 billion users. Meta's recent announcement was made in a blog post outlining the company's focus areas for 2023. ![]() ![]() However, cats also need prompt veterinary attention to improve their chances of survival if they encounter a venomous snake. In this study, the researchers felt that a combination of factors, such as differences in the frequency of fatal blood clot formation (more common in dogs), might account for differences in survival. However, a recent study from Australia showed that cats were twice as likely to survive an encounter with a venomous snake compared to dogs. There aren’t many statistics on venomous snake bites in cats. Factors that influence survival include the size of the dog, the duration of time between the bite and receiving emergency treatment, as well as the location of the bite. Statistics show that approximately 80% of dogs survive venomous snake bites with prompt care. It’s unknown how many nonvenomous snake bites occur, as these bites rarely show up at veterinary clinics. Knowing what to do if your pet encounters a snake – venomous or otherwise – can help keep them safe and out of the emergency room.Īpproximately 150,000 dogs and cats in the United States are bitten by venomous snakes each year. Although most snakes will quickly move away to avoid contact with unwanted playmates, they can and will strike if cornered or threatened. However, some “friends” that might not appreciate the special attention are snakes.

In this article, we outline some of the most promising use cases and offer steps executives can take to get started, as well as risks to keep in mind when doing so. (Many of these use cases also apply to the adjacent beauty and luxury sectors.) Within product innovation, marketing, and sales and customer experience in particular, the technology can have significant outcomes and may be more feasible to implement in the short term compared with other areas in the fashion value chain. These are still early days, but some clear use cases for generative AI in fashion have already emerged. It can input all forms of “unstructured” data-raw text, images, and video-and output new forms of media, ranging from fully-written scripts to 3-D designs and realistic virtual models for video campaigns. In the next three to five years, generative AI could add $150 billion, conservatively, and up to $275 billion to the apparel, fashion, and luxury sectors’ operating profits, according to McKinsey analysis. From codesigning to speeding content development processes, generative AI creates new space for creativity. True, this nascent technology became broadly available only recently and is still rife with worrisome kinks and bugs, but all indications are that it could improve at lightning speed and become a game changer in many aspects of business. While the fashion industry has experimented with basic AI and other frontier technologies-the metaverse, nonfungible tokens (NFTs), digital IDs, and augmented or virtual reality come to mind-it has so far had little experience with generative AI. and “ Generative AI is here: How tools like ChatGPT could change your business.” 2 Michael Chui, Roger Roberts, and Lareina Yee, “ Generative AI is here: How tools like ChatGPT could change your business,” McKinsey, December 20, 2022.)

These factors may affect the condition and prognosis of COPD patients through different mechanisms, such as increasing inflammation in the airways and lungs, damaging airway epithelial cells, stimulating airway smooth muscle contraction, reducing lung function and immunity, increasing cardiovascular risk and systemic inflammation levels, etc. Some factors that cause AECOPD have been identified, including respiratory tract infections, smoking, environmental pollution, prior exacerbations, non-adherence to treatment and associated comorbidities. A number of aggravating factors have been identified during the disease process, these factors can culminate in acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). As a chronic condition, COPD has been associated with significant morbidity and diminished quality of life for the affected individuals. The development of COPD has been linked to numerous risk factors, including tobacco smoke, air pollution, occupational exposures, and genetic predisposition, which can contribute to both onset and exacerbation of the disease. ![]() COPD presents a considerable global health challenge as it is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide and incurs significant healthcare costs for global populations. Clinicians should weigh the benefits and risks of each mode of mechanical ventilation when selecting a ventilation strategy.Ĭhronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating respiratory condition which is characterized by permanent airflow restriction and persistent inflammation in the lungs. However, further large-scale studies are necessary to confirm these findings and identify the best ventilation approach for patients experiencing an acute COPD exacerbation. The results showed that both VCV and PCV were effective in treating patients with acute COPD exacerbation, but PCV was associated with lower peak airway pressures and a significant decrease in barotrauma, indicating that it might be a safer ventilation method for this group of patients. This study compared the efficacy and safety of VCV and PCV in patients with acute COPD exacerbation and respiratory failure. Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) are two common modes of mechanical ventilation with different advantages and disadvantages. ![]() Core Tip: Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention for patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and respiratory failure. |
