2nd T20I: There Is Only One Way To Go, Says Samson After Aggressive 82-run Blitz
JSCA International Stadium Complex: Sanju Samson said his responsibility as an India opener was to provide the team with a strong start and insisted there was no room to change his approach despite a string of low scores, after his blistering 82 off 41 balls powered India to 249/5 against the West Indies in the second T20I at the JSCA International Stadium Complex here on Friday. Samson, who struck nine fours and four sixes, said he continued to trust his preparation and training while accepting that results in the shortest format were not always within a player's control. Being a professional cricketer playing for India, you definitely take care of the professional side of it. You do your preparation, you do your practice, you do your training, you do everything possible in your hands. But, to be very honest, we all know in this format the result is not in your hands, but there is only one way to go, Samson said after the innings. You can't say I've had three bad innings, so let's take some time, let's build my innings, and then we will see. No, there is only one way to go. I think the team comes first. My job is to just give a great start for my country, and I try to do that. I take responsibility when I get out also, so that's totally fine, and I'm taking the blame on me. I don't blame anyone else for not scoring runs. That's my job, and I try to do it every time I step out to the ground. Samson's knock set the platform for India's imposing total, with Ishan Kishan contributing 43 off 22 balls before being bowled by Roston Chase. The off-spinner also dismissed Shivam Dube for seven, while Shamar Springer ended Samson's innings when Kamil Pooran took a catch in the deep. Shreyas Iyer then provided the late impetus with a quickfire 40 off 18 deliveries, while Tilak Varma remained unbeaten on 44 off just 18 balls. The pair's aggressive stand helped India recover from a brief middle-order wobble and finish with a daunting total. Reflecting on the conditions, Samson said batting was not straightforward at the start, with the ball skidding through and occasionally staying low. That's the thing about playing at different venues. I got to bat yesterday in the centre, so we could understand a bit that the ball might skid a bit and stay a bit low. It was staying a bit low and skidding through, but we just had one wicket to go. I think we just had to go for it, and things came off nicely today, he said. Asked whether he picked specific targets after getting set, Samson said he preferred to react to the ball rather than plan shots. I just try to look at the ball and have a very positive frame of mind. If the ball is in my area, I definitely go for it. It doesn't matter if it's over cover or over long-on. It depends on where the bowler is bowling. I don't like to get a bit premeditated. I just like to be blunt, watch the ball and back my instincts, he said. Despite India's commanding score, Samson cautioned that the West Indies' powerful batting line-up could make the chase challenging. I just try to look at the ball and have a very positive frame of mind. If the ball is in my area, I definitely go for it. It doesn't matter if it's over cover or over long-on. It depends on where the bowler is bowling. I don't like to get a bit premeditated. I just like to be blunt, watch the ball and back my instincts, he said.

UK coastguard agency chief faces calls to resign over
Iran-based campaign used ChatGPT to plant articles in news outlets, OpenAI says
The bill will follow Americans beyond the fighting itself, an opinion piece in the Port St. Joe Star, a tiny Florida weekly newspaper, warned of the Iran war last month. The article ran under the byline Ervin Hoskins, which has also appeared on articles critical of the war in larger publications including Daily Kos and Middle East Monitor, which together have more than 3 million followers on Facebook. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. But ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Thursday that Hoskinss purported work was generated using its chatbot by users based in Iran as part of an influence campaign. The campaign placed about 100 fake articles across at least 20 news outlets, the company said. The author photo on the Hoskins column published by the Star was generated using OpenAIs artificial intelligence tools, according to the companys online verification tool. As artificial intelligence tools have become more powerful, some news outlets have been forced to delete AI-generated content published under fake bylines that initially went undetected by editors. Business Insider and Wired removed a series of articles last year that appeared under the byline Margaux Blanchard and appeared to be AI-generated. But while it was unclear who or what was behind the stories written by Blanchard and some other apparently fake personas, OpenAI said in a Thursday report on use of ChatGPT in political influence campaigns that Hoskins was part of an operation focused on seeding content about U.S. military action in Iran. Many of the articles highlighted negative impacts of the war on Americans. OpenAI said that Hoskins was among seven bylines that appeared on the series of AI-generated articles, made by users who sent instructions to the chatbot in Persian. The operations appeared to be run by a commercial outfit as a for-hire influence campaign, the company said. (The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI). David Adlerstein, publisher of the Port St. Joe Star, said in an email that the Hoskins column had caught his eye after it was pitched to him by a PeaceVoice, a small liberal think tank in Oregon, that had been sending the Star content for years. Gulf County, where Port St. Joe is located, has a population of about 15,000. Because were in a very red part of Florida, I usually dont run PeaceVoice columns, but this one struck me as thought-provoking and not a strident attack on Mr. Trump, which would be problematic for much of our readership, Adlerstein said. Due to his existing relationship with PeaceVoice, he did not feel a need to verify the origin or the column or the authors identity, he said. Tom Hastings, the founding director of PeaceVoice, said the organization beefed up its existing no-AI policy after OpenAI contacted him. OpenAI said it had banned the accounts behind the campaign and that it blocks access to ChatGPT from Iran. The overall activity appeared consistent with a commercial actor running a for-hire influence campaign, but we are unable to identify the particular actor involved, the company said in its report. We have shared information on this case with the relevant authorities. Middle East Monitor and Daily Kos said they had taken down the articles written by the fake bylines. The Daily Kos articles by Hoskins appeared on a community platform not subject to review by the outlets staff before publication. Markos Moulitsas, the sites founder, said in an email that such a campaign was incredibly corrosive to the platform and that he was examining how to prevent future incidents. We already struggle with community members accusing others of being bots or fake accounts simply because they disagree with them. An operation like this pours gasoline on that fire, he said. The very trust of our community is at stake. Articles written by authors OpenAI said were part of the Iranian campaign covered a range of topics in the Middle East but were often critical of the Iran wars effects on Americans. Many of the outlets were focused on policy and foreign affairs. After generating articles in English, the ChatGPT users in Iran prompted the chatbot to adjust the draft to fit submission criteria for a specific outlet and to generate a pitch email to send to an editor there. The purported authors of the articles were described as freelance writers, policy analysts and peace advocates. The Middle East Monitor, which brands itself as supportive of the Palestinian cause, had published at least 21 stories under bylines OpenAI said were fake including Hoskins, Michael Harrison, Jenny Williams and Alice Johnson. Some of the bylines, including Hoskins, also appear on social media accounts, and in one case a profile on blogging platform Medium, that shared a name and profile image with published articles. An email account apparently used to send the Hoskins article to PeaceVoice, and a LinkedIn account in his name with a photo that appeared with some bylines, did not respond to a request for comment. At least one other purported author, Ericka Feusier, used an AI-generated profile picture, according to OpenAIs tool that verifies whether images were generated using the companys technology. OpenAIs report on influence campaigns mounted using its technology also described a cluster of ChatGPT accounts in Russia that were banned after they were used to operate what appeared to be a fake think tank in Latin America. OpenAI said there was evidence the project may have co-opted real humans to work for the organization. The AI company said that it published the research to inform regulators, other companies and the public of how we see threat actors trying to leverage AI, and to shine a light on the vulnerabilities they try to exploit. The outlets impacted by the campaign vary in reach. But while they appear to have published AI-generated articles under fake bylines, real people have read them. Hoskinss column in the Star prompted a letter to the editor - a rare event for an opinion piece about a national topic, Adlerstein said. He added that he is now looking into introducing an explicit AI policy. Hastings, of PeaceVoice, said the article appeared to be genuine when he saw it. I found nothing remarkably pro-Iran in his work, which I would never publish, just a legitimate critique of Trumps war of choice. If Mr Hoskins sends in another I will simply require that we meet by Zoom to discuss, he wrote in an email. At least for now, thats the best I can do.
