‘People are creating and innovating': Why this man from one of the world's richest nations moved to India
A 17-year-old man, reportedly from Qatar has triggered an online debate after sharing his reasons for relocating to India, one of the world's most populous and diverse countries. Mohammad Jueitem, who describes himself as an 'international entrepreneur' on Instagram, recently posted a video explaining why he chose to leave behind the comfort and predictability of the Gulf for the challenges and energy of India.
'In our countries, life is comfortable and predictable,' Jueitem said in a video that has sparked a debate. 'But here, everything is different. Everyone is working tirelessly, and comfort doesn't seem to exist," he added.

He went on to praise what he called India's 'hustle culture,' recounting how locals spoke passionately about their dreams and worked long hours, often more than 10 hours a day, to build their businesses.
'This is persistence, passion, and discipline,' he noted. 'They are not just surviving, they are creating, innovating, and building.'
The young entrepreneur added that he and his team were in India 'to get inspired by that energy' and to work on a venture called 'COSMOS,' which he described as having 'a lot of room for growth' and potential to 'leave an impact.'

However, while some users appreciated the perspective and flooded the comments section with heart emojis and encouraging words, others didn't like his remarks.
The internet was sharply divided. While many lauded Jueitem for stepping out of his comfort zone and respecting India's hard-working ethos, others accused him of painting a skewed or condescending picture.
One comment read, 'Oh, so you left your 'rich and comfortable life' to move to India for business, and now you're filming trash like it's some shocking revelation? Bro, focus. You came here to make money not a documentary. no one's begging you to stay.'
Others expressed discomfort with what they saw as an outsider narrating India's struggles in a patronising tone. A user commented, 'Oh after white saviours we have arab saviours. Cool'
A user added, 'Show the best parts of India 🇮🇳. Britain looted our money. India is highly populous. We need time to improve standards. But people are generous.'
One user commented, "India is more comfortable for you because of White privilege "

Google Deepmind CEO says he will pay ‘thousands of dollars' to get rid of THIS! Would you do the same?
Artificial intelligence pioneer and Google Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis has said that he would pay 'thousands of dollars' to get rid of his daily emails as he gets too overwhelmed by them. Speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on Monday, June 2, the Nobel laureate said his team at Google Deepmind is working on an AI-powered mechanism that will address this exact issue and take over the tedious task of managing email inboxes. 'I would love to get rid of my email. I would pay thousands of dollars per month to get rid of that,' Hassabis said. The new system will be aimed at helping users managing their email inboxes, sorting through mails automatically and replying to regular messages. The tool will also ensure that the important messages do not go unnoticed. 'The thing I really want – and we're working on – is can we have a next-generation email?,' Hassabis said. He revealed that the new AI tool by Google will not only manage and filter emails but also send replies that match the user's writing style. The tool is currently under development. Demis Hassabis also said on Monday that greater international cooperation around AI regulation was needed but "difficult" to achieve 'in today's geopolitical context'. At a time when AI is being integrated across all industries, its uses have raised major ethical questions, from the spread of misinformation to its impact on employment, or the loss of technological control. Speaking at the SXSW festival on Monday, Hassabis, who has won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on AI, also addressed the challenges that artificial general intelligence (AGI) -- a technology that could match and even surpass human capability -- would bring. "The most important thing is it's got to be some form of international cooperation because the technology is across all borders. It's going to get applied to all countries," Hassabis said. "Many, many countries are involved in researching or building data centres or hosting these technologies. So I think for anything to be meaningful, there has to be some sort of international cooperation or collaboration and unfortunately that's looking quite difficult in today's geopolitical context," he said.

Yageo says it will protect technology if Shibaura purchase succeeds
By Wen-Yee Lee and Makiko Yamazaki TAIPEI/TOKYO: Taiwan's Yageo said it will implement strict controls to prevent technology from leaking if it succeeds in acquiring Japan's Shibaura Electronics , responding to concerns in Japan over what the deal could mean for national security. Chairman Pierre Chen told reporters in Taipei on Saturday that the company will meet with Shibaura in mid-June in Tokyo to discuss potential cooperation. Yageo, the world's largest maker of chip resistors, launched an unsolicited tender offer for Shibaura in February, seeking full control of the Japanese firm, which specialises in thermistor technology . Yageo offered to buy Shibaura at 4,300 yen per share, valuing the company at more than 65 billion yen ($450 million). Spurning Yageo's overture, Shibaura tapped Japanese components supplier Minebea Mitsumi as a white knight. Minebea and Yageo entered a bidding war, with the latter now offering 6,200 yen. The stock closed at 6,100 yen on Friday. "Our strategy is to inject resources and strengthen R&D for advanced technologies. We're also preparing to make larger investments to expand their facilities in Japan," Chen said. Asked about Japan's national security concerns, he said: "We will implement strict controls to ensure technology does not leak." Unsolicited takeovers were once rare in Japan, where companies often mounted elaborate defences. The Japanese industry ministry's M&A guidelines in 2023 cracked down on what it considered excessive defence tactics, de-stigmatising unsolicited buyouts and leading some of such deals to succeed. Chen said that negotiations with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry had been going smoothly. He said that if Yageo acquires Shibaura, the deal would address a gap in its portfolio of thermistors, making Yageo's offerings more complete for global customers and helping Shibaura expand its access to markets outside of Japan. Yageo said it aims to ease the burden of managing smaller component suppliers for its major clients, including Apple and Nvidia, by offering more comprehensive product portfolios and solutions. Yageo is also the world's number three manufacturers of multilayer ceramic capacitors and provides key components used in Apple's iPhones, Nvidia's AI servers, and Tesla's electric vehicles.
