AI, and its place in cybersecurity Now more than ever, AI is proving to become an integral ingredient for enhancing the defensive capabilities of a set of unprecedented threats.

Several developments in artificial intelligence, hardware innovations and sustainable technology are shaping the tech industry of 2024:

1. Generative AI, Multimodal AIGenerative AI has attracted significantly high funding volume for its use case in text generation (think GPT-2 from OpenAI), image synthesis and even video creation. Another significant trend is multimodal AI, which can provide more-natural ways for users to interact with virtual agents. For example, apps like Be My Eyes are experimenting with image recognition and AI to improve the interaction capacity of visually impaired people 7 [source]8[source].

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
