Daily Brief 


        In Busan, Korea, an elderly welfare facility was discovered to have embezzled 810 million won(around $577 thousand US) in subsidies using the personal information of the elderly. Their personal information were used to make over 2000 elderly appear to be participating in employment reserved for the elderly. They also used online shopping accounts using their personal information to order masks and jackets, received the government subsidies for them, and then cancelled the order. Furthermore, such orders were disguised to appear as if the elderly's work colleagues or family relatives had received the government subsidies, before redirecting the funds to the embezzler's account. A city official stated that to catch such embezzlement using personal information of other, the monitoring and reporting of welfare workers and fellow citizens is critical. 

        Korea's KISA (Korea Internet and Security Agency) have warned Korean airport websites that DDoS attacks by Killnet may occur, after Killnet attacked major US airport websites last month and posted messaged threatening further DDoS(Denial of Service) attacks on US airports amidst ongoing cyberattacks on major countries such as Japan and Europe.  KISA is also urging security updates on OpenSSL, which is a data security protocol (SSL/TLS) open source library used by many companies.

Seeking ChatGPT's Insight: Are the Biden Administration's 'Trump-Proofing' Efforts Legally and Morally Justifiable?

  Recently, polls indicate that former President Trump's chances for returning to Presidency have become increasingly likely. Given this, there have been rising attempts over the past year by the Biden administration to "Trump-proof" matters so that if Trump is re-elected, he will be unable to (or at least have difficulty in) reversing or nullifying the current policy and agreements.  I decided to ask ChatGPT on this topic because I was curious on whether these efforts by the Biden administration would be successful in restraining Trump, or even whether such actions were morally and legally viable. My doubts arose because actions taken to completely deny or restrain future Presidents from changing policy or agreements (generally speaking), especially if such measures came from Executive Orders, seem to be against the democratic spirit even if they are meant to protect against possible abuse of presidential power.  My question to ChatGPT: Do you believe that the Biden admi...

Unraveling the WGA’s MBA with ChatGPT: Expert Analysis or Algorithmic Bias Towards Legalese?

On Oct 9, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) overwhelmingly voted in favour of ratifying the 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), which will apply until May 1, 2026. While most news outlets have reported on this as a major win for the writers guild, I grew curious on whether there were any shortcomings in the agreement since the the entertainment industry’s capitulation seemed to come quite abruptly compared to their former hardline opposition to any concessions. Since I am not a legal expert on contract law, I turned to ChatGPT instead to see if it could provide a fresh perspective. Given that the WGA provided both the complete 2023 MBA as well as a summary, I chose to try inputting both into ChatGPT, focusing particularly on the Artificial Intelligence clauses. However, the results made me ponder whether ChatGPT’s analysis might be influenced by bias or randomness. ChatGPT’s analysis of the summary and the complete 2023 MBA: Upon analyzing the summary, ChatGPT initially gave off a ske...
