Millions in Ukraine spent the weekend in the dark

Millions in Ukraine spent this weekend in the dark, as temperatures there remained below zero.

It follows one of the most devastating waves of missile strikes from Russia last week, that’s once again targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

The mayor of Kyiv, former professional boxer Vitali Klitschko, hit back on Sunday at criticism by Ukraine’s president over measures to help residents withstand power cuts, describing disputes as “senseless” amid Russia’s military campaign.

Klitschko said 430 “warming centres” were helping residents cope with the effects of Russian attacks on power stations and more than 100 more were planned in case of extreme conditions.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy noted last week there were a lot of complaints about measures adopted in the capital.

“I do not want to become involved in political battles, particularly in the current situation,” Klitschko said in a video posted on Telegram.

“That is senseless. I have things to do in the city.”

Klitschko, who had been mired in several disputes with Zelenskiy before the invasion, said the president’s allies had engaged in “manipulation” about the city’s efforts, including “incomprehensible photos” posted online.

“To put it mildly, this is not nice. Not for Ukrainians or for our foreign partners,” Klitschko said. “Today, like never before, everyone must unite and work together. And here we have some sort of political games.”

Zelenskiy has in the past week promoted the efforts of thousands of “invincibility centres” set up throughout Ukraine to provide heat, water, internet and mobile phone links.

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!

The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.

 
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.

Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.

The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.

Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.

UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.

According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
