Byju's bankruptcy: Riju Raveendran petitions the NCLT to be included in the case

On Monday, Riju Raveendran, the brother of Byju Raveendran, the founder of the insolvent edtech company, and its largest stakeholder, went to the Bengaluru insolvency tribunal to request inclusion in the case. The tribunal, however, voiced concerns over his involvement in the proceedings.Before the tribunal, Riju's attorney begged for permission to defend himself against claims made by Byju's lenders—specifically, Glas Trust, a US-based lender—about where the Rs 158 crore that was first given to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pay its debts came from.Byju's US-based lenders had resisted the settlement, arguing that the funds utilized to reimburse BCCI were corrupted because they were included in the $533 million that was purportedly "missing." The tribunal, however, stated that determining the source of funds falls under the jurisdiction of the income tax authorities and the Enforcement Directorate. It directed the lenders to file objections to Raveendran’s plea and adjourned the hearing.However, the panel declared that the Enforcement Directorate and the income tax authorities had the authority to ascertain the source of funds. It postponed the hearing and instructed the lenders to oppose to Raveendran's plea.The appeal panel was earlier informed by Riju Raveendran, a board member of the business, that the funds paid to the BCCI were "clean." His attorney had maintained that the $533 million that the lenders said was "missing" did not include the payment to the BCCI. The US lenders and Byju's parent business, Think & Learn, are at odds over the missing funds.

A 90% loss in earnings is caused by Twitter India's declining ad income.

For the most recent fiscal year, Twitter Communications India, now a division of X Corp (previously known as Twitter), reported a sharp drop in both net profit and sales. According to an Economic Times investigation, this decline is mostly due to a sharp decline in advertising revenue when Elon Musk's new leadership fired the worldwide ad sales team.The company's net profit fell 90% to Rs 3 crore from Rs 30 crore the year before, according to regulatory records. In a similar vein, revenue dropped sharply by 90%, from Rs 208 crore to Rs 21 crore. In India, Twitter's primary revenue source is still advertising. The company responded to these difficulties by cutting employee benefit costs by 95%, from Rs 130 crore to Rs 6 crore, after firing almost all of its staff in India, which once had more than 200 workers. Consequently, overall costs decreased by 89%, from Rs 168 crore to Rs 19 crore.This dramatic drop in revenue has been caused in part by the removal of the ad sales staff and the withdrawal of international businesses from the platform, which is partly the result of continuous conflicts with Musk. Under Musk's direction, X Corp has even taken big marketers like Mars and Unilever to court over their boycott of the platform. According to Kantar research, 26% of marketers intend to reduce their X advertising budgets in 2025, which is the biggest decrease ever seen from any major international ad platform.

Odyssey Developing Hollywood-Level AI Text to Video Model to Take on Gen-3 Alpha and Sora

The artificial intelligence (AI) startup Odyssey, which was established last year, unveiled information on its inaugural AI product on Monday. The company disclosed that, similar to OpenAI's Sora tool, which the company has not yet released, it is developing an AI video model that can produce Hollywood-caliber visual effects. According to Odyssey's co-founder, the AI model will enable users to modify and manage the output at a fine level. The company is collaborating with many large language models (LLMs) to produce distinct layers of the output video that can be independently controlled.The Operation of Odyssey's AI Visual Model Odyssey CEO and Co-Founder Oliver Cameron announced in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) that the AI startup had raised $9 million (approximately Rs. 75.1 crores) in funding during its seed round, which was headed by Google Ventures. Odyssey was also developing a tool that would provide users with the ability to customize and edit high-quality video. In addition, Cameron provided information regarding Odyssey's AI technology, stating that it was intended to produce "Hollywood-grade" footage. Additionally, the CEO revealed that the business was teaching customers how to take "full control of the core layers of visual storytelling" using four generative models.Cameron drew attention to the issue with current AI text-to-video models, namely the deficiency of controls or editing choices for the output. You can't really control your setting or the behavior of your characters, nor can you refine the finer points of your shot till it's perfect as a storyteller. We need more potent models," he continued. The business is employing several AI models to create a single layer of the composite video in order to fix the issue. Cameron says that each of the four models will produce geometry, materials, lighting, and motion on its own. The final video will be presented by combining these four layers, which will be generated concurrently based on a single text prompt. According to the company, consumers would be able to customize every layer.  

How to make your Android phone connect to a 5G network by force

This method may guarantee 5G connectivity, but it may also shorten your phone's battery life.Nationwide deployments of 5G networks have been made by Airtel and Jio. 5G provides faster upload and download rates as well as reduced latency as compared to 4G. Activities like gaming and live streaming gain from this. In order to save battery life, the majority of smartphones intelligently switch between 4G and 5G. However, this can sometimes degrade network speed, particularly while doing data-intensive tasks.Your device can maintain a 5G connection with a straightforward trick, as long as coverage is available. Here's how to maintain your smartphone on 5G if you use Jio or Airtel 5G:You can force the option to use 5G on your phone by following the instructions listed later in this article, depending on your smartphone. But not every phone or provider lets you force 5G. If your alternatives are different from ours, bear that in mind. For instance, Samsung doesn't make this simple, as you can see below.If you have the option to force 5G, proceed with caution as doing so keeps your device from falling back to 4G even in situations when 5G isn't available. If you are unable to remain on a 5G network, you can still choose the 5G/4G or 4G-only option by following the same procedures. Despite significant advancements, 5G is still not as common as 4G and is still deficient in many places. At the same time, there may be times when a 5G network is so congested with devices (think concerts or athletic events) that switching to 4G will provide faster speeds. Either way, you might want to think about giving up on the network completely.Check out our guidelines below to locate the network settings on your phone; each Android manufacturer has a slightly different technique to control your 5G settings. Control your network mode and select a 5G and LTE option, depending on whether you want to use 4G, 5G, or a combination of the two. Your phone and provider will determine which choice is available. In relation to 4G, assess the strength of the signal on your Android device to identify any network or connectivity issues.It's easy to force Android to stick to one of the two networks, whether you want to force your phone to use 5G solely or to continue on the older LTE network. This is how phones from every big manufacturer should be set up.  

A survey reveals that audiences are wary of AI being used to produce news.

According to a survey, news consumers are primarily against using AI for sensitive areas like politics.According to a survey, the majority of news consumers in the US and the UK would find journalism generated mostly by artificial intelligence (AI) unsettling.According to a poll by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism released on Monday, only 23% of respondents in the US and 10% in the UK would feel comfortable with AI-produced news. Consumers are particularly wary of the technology being used for sensitive topics like politics and crime.AI-led news would make people uncomfortable, according to almost half of US respondents and 63 percent of UK respondents, respectively. Only 18% of respondents stated they would be neither comfortable nor uncomfortable.The use of AI to produce text-based content, illustrations, and stylized graphics was met with the least resistance from respondents, whereas the creation of realistic-looking images and videos was met with the strongest opposition.According to the institute's annual Digital News Report, which accompanied the study, "Our findings show audiences are most open to AI uses that are behind the scenes and areas where AI can help improve their experiences using news, providing more personalised and accessible information. "They feel less at ease with content intended for a broad audience, delicate or significant subjects, and computer-generated movies or images that could be mistaken for the genuine thing—areas where mistakes are thought to have the most impact. Most people agree that complete automation should not be allowed and that a human should always be involved.The results coincide with the global adoption of AI by newsrooms in the face of sharply declining revenue and widespread layoffs. AI tools are being used by many news organizations throughout the world for a variety of tasks, including research, interview transcription, and content development.Michael Miller, the executive chair of News Corp Australia, disclosed last year that the media organization was employing AI to produce over 3,000 pieces per week. When the German tabloid Bild unveiled a cost-cutting campaign last year worth 100 million euros ($107 million), it forewarned employees that it anticipated making additional cuts because of "the opportunities of artificial intelligence."
