At this point, Its a possibility. Maybe corporates don’t want humans to be intelligent enough to fight with AI like in Terminator. So they are making people forget coding and stuffs in the name of assisting and made us lazy to prevent AI ig.

Muscle loss is estimated to account for roughly 20% (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) of total weight lost through typical diet‑based weight‑loss methods—including GLP‑1 drugs. Popular phrases such as “Ozempic butt,” “Ozempic face,” “Ozempic arms,” “Ozempic feet,” and “Ozempic body” suggest that GLP‑1‑induced weight loss, as well as standard calorie‑deficit dieting, causes specific muscle groups to deteriorate. However, these estimates are derived from lean body mass (LBM) measurements, which do not (7) directly measure muscle tissue.

Compounding the inaccuracy is the fact that no study has ever accurately measured participants’ total muscle tissue before weight loss. As of this writing, no standardized protocol (8) exists to quantify total muscle tissue, and no baseline average exists for comparison. Without an approved measurement standard, it is impossible to determine:

*how much muscle a person was born with (genetic baseline),

*how much they added through resistance training or intense cardio (exercise‑induced hypertrophy),

*how much they lost before dieting due to diet, exercise, and lifestyle factors (pre‑existing atrophy), or

*how much they lost due to aging (sarcopenia).

LBM remains the current proxy standard—not a direct measurement of muscle.

The repression of activists from Hong Kong does not stop beyond its borders. The Hong Kong and Chinese governments use 'transnational repression' tactics to monitor, threaten and silence dissenting voices in the UK.

We have documented their surveillance and intimidation of overseas students, and how they put £100,000 bounties over the heads of 19 overseas activists. This year, a UK immigration officer, Chung Biu "Bill" Yuen was found guilty of using a Home Office database to track down activists and people from Hong Kong claiming asylum in the UK.

The UK is home to the largest Hong Kong diaspora community, and an important base of their activism. Add your voice below and call on the UK government to act now and protect Hongkongers in the UK.

Amnesty's Uncensored mapping and digital visualisation project compiles more than 800 media entries, offering a way to explore the different forms, contexts and patterns of censorship reported in Hong Kong and how they have unfolded over time. The mapping is not an exhaustive record of every act of censorship in Hong Kong during this period. Multiple media entries may relate to the same incident, so the number of entries does not represent a count of individual cases.

Hong Kong (AFP) – A Hong Kong court handed three Tiananmen vigil activists jail sentences of between five and seven years on Friday for national security crimes, following a trial that has drawn international condemnation.

Lee Cheuk-yan, 69, Albert Ho, 74 and Chow Hang-tung, 41 have been behind bars since they were charged in 2021. Their sentences are expected to include time already served.

The United Nations, rights groups and foreign governments have condemned their convictions under a national security law that Beijing imposed on Hong Kong.

A court ruled in August that the activists had breached the Chinese constitution by calling for an "end to one-party dictatorship".

Lee and Chow, who pleaded not guilty, were sentenced to seven years and seven years and three months respectively, AFP journalists in court heard.

Ho, a former lawmaker who pleaded guilty in January, got five years and two months.

The verdict read that although the case did not involve violence, and the defendants had not put forward a specific timetable to carry out an "end to one-party dictatorship", their offence was still of "a serious nature".

Chow, a barrister who represented herself, told a hearing last month that she had "nothing to repent for".

She raised both arms and waved at supporters as she was escorted out by officers.

Supporters outside court hugged her mother, Medina Chow Lau Wah-chun, who said her daughter had maintained high spirits during the trial.

"She is not a competent barrister. She is simply an outstanding defendant," her mother said.

Lee crossed himself, smiled and bowed at his wife Elizabeth Tang Yin-ngor and supporters, including high-profile activist Cardinal Joseph Zen, who stood outside gripping each others' hands.

"I'm really sad, and very angry," Tang told reporters, saying Lee would "definitely appeal".

Dozens of police swarmed around the court and set up cordons holding back crowds.
