    Revealed: the huge growth of Myanmar scam centres that may hold 100,000 trafficked people

    Jump

  • Sorry Guardian. It's been long known around the world about these scam centers. Only the Guardian and its reporters may have been the ignorant ones. There are also massive centers in Cambodia. Chinese crime syndicates have been setting these up in other parts of South East Asia and Africa as well.

  • AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools

    Jump

  • Large companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August.

    Someone explain to me how I am to see this "rate" as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it's declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?

  • You and the Argentinian courts are misinformed. Did you know that UNLIKE other countries, the military, and the ministries of defense, police and border guards do not answer to the head of state or the head of civilian government but the chief of the military? That's the way it was written into the constitution which was created by the military. The military is a completely independent political entity in Myanmar and does not answer to anyone but its leader. The chief of the military back when the Rohingya happened was Min Aung Hlaing, the current head of the junta and still chief of military who staged a coup in 2021 when the military's political party didn't win the general elections at the end of 2020.

    The military's political strategy is ultranationalism cloaked in religious extremism, borrowing heavily from the success of BJP in India. So Rohingya were a political tool for them, using the campaign in Arakan to further their political cause back in 2017.

  • Thai Move to Let Myanmar Refugees Work a ‘Historic Step’ Says TBC Director

    Jump

  • There are anywhere from100-150k Myanmar refugees in Thailand. This figure surprised me. However there are about half a million stateless persons, many of them likely descendents of Burmese refugees. These figures do not include estimated 3.5-5m Burmese migrant workers in Thailand. Since the British colonial days, Thailand has been the destination of choice for Burmese exiles and refugees. Thailand hosted hundreds of thousands of Burmese refugees during British colonial era. These refugees were the source of a large Burmese independence army that trained and marched back into Burma during WWII.
