Trump signs USMCA, ‘ending the NAFTA nightmare’


A new Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement

Canada, the United States and Mexico signed a new North American trade agreement to replace NAFTA on November 30, 2018. The CUSMA (or USMCA in the U.S.) came into force in Canada in July 2020. This new agreement goes by a different name in each of the three countries that signed it. While known as CUSMA in Canada, it is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, south of the border. In Mexico, people call it T-MEC, reflecting the Spanish name of the treaty.

Many think of CUSMA as NAFTA 2.0—and with good reason. CUSMA and NAFTA are very similar agreements in terms of general concepts. CUSMA continues the work of NAFTA and was negotiated using NAFTA as a baseline. That said, the two agreements do differ in significant ways. It is not for nothing that CUSMA runs to 1500 pages—more than double NAFTA’s page count of 741.

Since July 1, 2020, NAFTA has been replaced by a new free trade agreement CUSMA. As an importer, exporter and manufacturer, for your shipments which will be customs cleared on or after July 1, 2020, you are no longer be able to claim the NAFTA preferential treatment in Canada, the United States or Mexico. From this date on, for products “originating” in North America, you will have to claim a preferential treatment under the new CUSMA treaty.

AS OF JULY 1, customs authorities (e.g. CBSA and U.S. CBP) will not accept a NAFTA Certificate of Origin to claim the CUSMA “duty-free” treatment. For your 2020 blanket certificates of origin, prepared according to NAFTA, these will apply up to June 30, 2020, only. Effective July 1, the product must be certified as an “originating” good per a CUSMA Certification of Origin.

Unlike NAFTA, the new agreement does not call for a prescribed form. Instead, CUSMA requires a Certification of Origin, which can be included on a commercial invoice or a separate document, insofar as this new Certification contains all the mandatory minimum data elements set out in Chapter 5 / Annex 5-A of CUSMA.

CUSMA Certificate of Origin - English

Previous sample of the trilaterally agreed upon form used by Canada, Mexico, and the United States to certify that goods qualify for the preferential tariff treatment accorded by CUSMA. The Certificate of Origin must be completed by the exporter.

To allow W2C to apply the “duty-free” treatment under CUSMA to your products that will be customs cleared on or after July 1, W2C must be in possession of a valid CUSMA Certification of Origin, included either on the commercial invoice, Canada Customs Invoice or Proforma Invoice; or included on a CUSMA Certificate of Origin template of any format that contains all of the prescribed minimum data elements.

See also additional information on the CUSMA Certification of Origin, as published by the CBSA.

W2C has developed a CUSMA Certification of Origin template which you can access via the “Resources” tab available on our website: https://w2c.ca/en/resources/.

Also be advised that the “Rules of Origin” (NAFTA vs. CUSMA) for several products (HS Codes), have changed. Before goods produced in Canada, the United States or Mexico can be certified on a Certification of Origin, they must qualify as an “originating” product under the “Rules of Origin” of the new CUSMA agreement. A product previously certified under NAFTA is not valid if imported/exported on or after July 1. Such a product must be re-qualified and re-certified under the new CUSMA rules.


Donald J. Trump‏ Verified account@realDonaldTrump  4:04 PM · Jun 9, 2018·

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy! –

Tesla and China: an electrifying automotive idyll

JUNE 22, 2023  $  July 6, 2023 $ July 7, 2024 $ July 30, 2024

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

For the premiere, Tesla cars were placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn. Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. July 5, 2024 For the premiere, Tesla cars are placed on a Chinese government procurement list, according to state media Paper.cn.

Tesla is the only rare electric vehicle brand listed on the procurement list released by the government of Jiangsu province in eastern China. Other brands mentioned include Volvo, the defunct Chinese Geely, and SAIC, the defunct state-owned company.

This means that government agencies and public groups in the province can buy them as service vehicles, which is the relationship between the Chinese entrepreneur and Elon Musk’s company.

The development may go viral on Chinese social media, with some users asking if the rare vehicles should be intended for use by the government.

The Jiangsu government intends to address these concerns by claiming that the Tesla Model Y is “a domestic, not imported car,” according to a report published by the National Business Daily, a state-owned company, citing a government employee.

Tesla, which has a giant footprint in Shanghai, will be manufacturing 947,000 cars in China by 2023, with most of them at its location.

The Jiangsu government did not respond to CNN’s phone calls. In the government’s procurement catalog, the Shanghai-made Tesla Model Y was priced at 249,900 yuan ($34,377).

China is becoming a major market for Tesla, as the country accounts for the majority of total global electric vehicle sales. Last year, Tesla accounted for a quarter of China’s total sales.

But the American carmaker is also facing a crush of Chinese rivals. BYD overtook Tesla in the last quarter of 2023 and is also a major seller of electric vehicles on the planet. Tesla regained its position in the first half of this year but is on the brink of collapse.

Tesla vehicles are now banned from accessing some government and military complexes in China due to spying and user security concerns.

These restrictions were imposed in April 2024, when a major automobile association announced that Tesla vehicles meet the security requirements of Chinese transporters. The announcement to this day that Musk returned to Beijing and met Premier Li Qiang, who hailed Tesla as a “success model” of collaboration between the United States and China.

EU border crossings More, on the borders, tensions between China and the West are intensifying.

The European Commission has confirmed that it is imposing additional double duties of 37.6% on imports of electric vehicles made in China.

The custom tariffs, announced for the premiere since its debut in June, are adopted as a necessary measure of the EU to deter a fleet of Chinese voitures bon marché built with the solution of the “unfair” government.

Tesla, a major exporter of electric vehicles made in China to Europe, has demanded a separate calculation of the partner rights, according to the Commission. The company is currently facing an additional double profit right of 20.8% within the framework of a group of cooperative companies with the EU survey.


TESLA BEHIND SCREEN OF UNCERTAIN NEW STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
7 24 24 – Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Ph.D.Said Cherkaoui Ph.D.

Times are starting to get tough for Tesla


1.85 Million Cars Recalled by Tesla 📉 stock fell in response, down 1.5% on open.

Tesla rolling out a software fix for 1.85 million vehicles in the U.S., which have been recalled for failing to alert the driver when the hood is unlatched. It’s the company’s largest recall since December 2024, when nearly all Teslas were recalled over issues with its Autopilot system. The concern this time is that an unlatched hood could fly open and block the driver’s view, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tesla has already started deploying a free over-the-air software update to address the issue, which affects recent Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y cars.


Tesla’s recent business performance has been closely watched.

In the second quarter of 2024, the automaker faced disappointing figures:

  • Production decline: Tesla built 418,831 electric vehicles, a decrease of 14.4% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • Slowing Sales: Tesla sold 443,956 electric vehicles in the same quarter, reflecting a 4.8% year-over-year decline.
  • Challenges: Despite Elon Musk’s influence, Tesla struggled with a small product line and a price war, particularly in China.
  • Excess Inventory: Interestingly, Tesla delivered more Model 3s and Model Ys than it produced, potentially eliminating excess inventory.
  • Solar Power Division: Tesla’s solar power and storage division had a good quarter, deploying 9.4 GWh of energy storage.
  • Musk’s Pivot: Elon Musk is now focusing on humanoid robots, a departure from the auto industry.

Tesla has lost its EV market majority. The company no longer makes most of America’s electric vehicles, according to data from research firm Cox Automotive.

Tesla’s market share fell to 49.7% in the second quarter, compared with 59.3% in the same period a year earlier.

With more than 100 EV models in the U.S. market, Tesla faces increased competition from established automakers. General Motors, Ford, Hyundai, and Kia have made inroads in the fast-growing segment. Total EV sales climbed 11.3% in the quarter, and 8% of all cars sold or leased were electric.

Tesla is at a crossroads. As demand for electric vehicles slumps and profits plunge by 45%, Elon Musk is betting on humanoid robots, autonomous taxis, and artificial intelligence to revive growth. This strategy may test investors’ patience. Despite Musk asserting on a post-earnings call Tuesday that “the value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy,” the timeline for the pivot is uncertain.

Tesla intends to unveil its Robotaxi in October, two months later than planned. Musk has also revised his robot timeline, saying they will “hopefully” be available to customers in 2026.

Tesla shares fell 11% on Wednesday.

The new timelines put “investors in something of a holding pattern,” writes Bloomberg, also noting that a factory project in Mexico is on hold until after November’s U.S. presidential election.

A bright spot for Telsa has been sales of batteries, which doubled to $3 billion in the last quarter.

While Tesla’s auto sales face challenges, Musk remains optimistic about growth.

Times are starting to get tough for Tesla. The electric vehicle automaker was growing, with quarter after quarter of successive growth and plenty of profits in the process. But of late, that success has been mainly due to a series of price cuts intended to entice customers to buy an aging range.

In March 2024, the company recorded its first quarterly decline since 2020. It now plans to lay off more than 10% of its workforce, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters . “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to examine all aspects of the business to reduce costs and increase productivity,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the employees in the note. Musk has pursued a strategy of relentless cost cutting, but all those price cuts have meant that Tesla’s once-envied profit margins are no longer anything special.

LG Energy Solution 

A unit of LG Chem, this South Korean battery supplier is neck and neck with CATL as the world’s leading supplier of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

While there has been some controversy along the way – LG Chem successfully sued rivals SK Innovations not long ago for stealing trade secrets – the future looks bright for the company, with LG Energy Solution starting production of 4680 cells in 2023, the same cells. which constitutes Tesla’s most advanced battery to date. 

Large-format 4680 cylindrical cells would increase power six-fold and energy five-fold, and increase the range of an electric vehicle by up to 54 percent. 

These 4,680 cells should also bring the price of Tesla electric vehicles down to around $25,000, according to Tesla founder Elon Musk.

The company also has a $303 million factory in Holland, Michigan, capable of producing enough cells per year to build between 50,000 and 200,000 batteries for hybrid manufacturers  like  Ford , General Motors, Hyundai,  Volvo ,  Renault  and  Chevrolet . 

By 2025, all factories in South Korea, North America, Europe and China will run 100% on renewable energy.

Beyond Dream – BYD

Formerly written off by Elon Musk, the Chinese   BYD  proved its detractors wrong by becoming the world’s leading seller of electric vehicles in July 2022, after having sold 641,000 vehicles in the first half of 2022, almost 80,000 more electric vehicles than Tesla .

On Monday, July 1, 2024, BYD reported EV sales of 426,000. That is 21% more than a year ago, as BYD continues to close the gap on Tesla. In the fourth quarter, BYD briefly passed Tesla in global EV sales.

Although it has gained a strong foothold in the electric vehicle market, BYD began life as a rechargeable battery manufacturer in 1995 and in 2021 built a new factory in Chongqing, China to produce its blade batteries, which are thinner and longer than conventional lithium batteries ion cells.

Blade batteries are also considered the safest EV batteries because they are much less likely to catch fire in the event of an accident. They are also 50% smaller than other battery packs, resulting in lighter, more efficient electric vehicles. 

There appear to be no hard feelings between the Chinese giant and Elon Musk: BYD Executive Vice President Lian Yubo now claims that BYD is “good friends” with Mr. Tesla and plans to supply his company batteries for electric vehicles.

Panasonic 

Panasonic is another one of the largest lithium-ion battery manufacturers in the world. The electronics giant has partnered with Tesla to build Giga Nevada – or Gigafactory 1, as it is also known – a $5 billion factory for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicle components. Dollars located in Storey County, Nevada. , which produces a Panasonic EV battery exclusively for Tesla’s Model 3, Model S and Model X SUVs. 

Panasonic reportedly invested $1.6 billion in Gigafactory 1 to become Tesla’s main supplier of electric vehicle batteries, with raw materials supplied by a mining company that extracts lithium from a site 200 miles from the factory.

Jointly designed and manufactured by Tesla and Panasonic, the “2170” battery has been mass-produced since January 2017, and the new and improved 4680 battery cell, which features significant capacity improvements, will enter production in 2023. 

Looking to the future, Shoichiro Watanabe, CTO of Panasonic Energy, says the company will achieve a 20% improvement in the energy density of its battery cells by the end of the decade. 

In the same way that Tesla has partnered with other electric vehicle battery makers in other international markets, Panasonic has also partnered with Toyota to build a lithium-ion battery factory in Japan that will supply batteries for Toyota electric vehicles.  Source:

Tesla will cut more than 10% of its global workforce or up to 14,000 employees

Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, is indeed planning significant workforce reductions. According to an internal email from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company will cut “more than 10%” of its global workforce. The move comes as Tesla grapples with slowing demand and challenges in the electric vehicle (EV) market around the world .



Here are the key points:

Number of employees: Tesla ended 2023 with more than 140,000 employees worldwide, meaning the cuts could affect more than 14,000 people .

Reasons for layoffs: The company’s decision to downsize is driven by the need to reduce costs and increase productivity. Tesla has warned investors that sales growth could be “significantly lower” in 2024 compared to its stated goal of 50% growth each year. Additionally, Tesla is currently between production cycles, with the expensive Cybertruck recently entering production and the popular Model Y entering its fourth year without significant updates.

Executive departures: On the same day as the layoffs, two high-level executives left Tesla. Drew Baglino, Tesla’s senior vice president of powertrain and energy, and Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy and business development, have both left the company. Baglino oversaw the engineering of the company’s powertrain and battery technologies, while Patel had experience in climate and energy policy. Their departures come as part of the company’s restructuring efforts.

In the memo, CEO Elon Musk writes that duplication of roles and the need to cut costs are behind the layoffs. The automaker had nearly doubled its workforce over the past three years by increasing production at several factories, but last month recorded its first quarterly drop in deliveries in four years. Tesla shares have fallen 31% this year, putting it among the worst performers in the S&P 500.

Elon Musk expressed gratitude for their contributions but emphasized the need to reduce costs and increase productivity as Tesla prepares for its next phase of growth. This situation reflects the challenges facing the electric vehicle industry and the need for companies like Tesla to adapt to changing market dynamics.

Overall electric vehicle sales slowed in the first quarter, increasing less than 3%, while hybrid sales increased 43%.

Tesla’s difficulties have largely contributed to the C’s lukewarm performance, since the company’s cars represent about half of the US electric market, according to research firm Motor Intelligence.

Tesla announced a significant reduction in its workforce following a disappointing first-quarter delivery report, following in the footsteps of traditional automakers and pure-play EV makers, according to an internal memo. Famed Tesla bull Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities warned that the layoffs were a negative sign for Tesla, as seen in Monday’s stock decline. Ives has a price target of $300 and a buy rating on the stock. “This is a worrying signal of tough times ahead for Tesla as Musk weathers this Category 5 storm,” Ives said in a comment to Yahoo Finance. “Demand has been weak globally, and this is unfortunately a necessary move for Tesla to reduce costs with a more moderate growth outlook.”

For decades, the UAW’s efforts to unionize large foreign auto plants in the American South failed. It now appears that this is about to change, with far-reaching consequences. I’ve traveled multiple times to Tennessee and Alabama to report on why the union is poised for a historic victory this week at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, and how it could bolster its efforts everywhere from Mercedes to Tesla. “When we started this campaign, you didn’t talk very openly about a union in the factory,” one of the hundreds of VW workers who sat on the union’s organizing committee told me. “Now that’s all we talk about.”

Executive exodus and 10% reduction in workforce at Tesla. We reported that Drew Baglino had resigned from  Tesla  . Baglino had worked at Tesla since 2006 and was senior vice president of powertrain engineering and energy. He was one of four executives named and integral to the work the company was doing in everything from electric vehicles to energy storage and next-generation 4680 cells. Drew posted on social media a few hours after our story to confirm his departure. Rohan Patel, Tesla’s head of public policy, also left the company, we reported. Factoring in the departure of key names from Tesla’s semiconductor team earlier this year and the departure of Zach Kirkhorn in August, that’s a lot of intellectual capital and experience. Still: I’m told things are going well – particularly in the energy division – and one of the reasons for Baglino’s departure is that he felt the place was in good hands. Last night, Musk told staff around the world that Tesla would cut 10% or more of its global workforce. The reasons are clear: continued cost reduction and productivity in a difficult environment. But Tesla has grown rapidly. And Musk cited the number of duplicate roles in his justification for the RIF. 10% of Tesla’s workforce represents approximately 14,000 people. It is therefore large in size, the largest RIF ever seen.

Lack of Intelligent Energy for Artificial Intelligence

Plagiarism, copyright, and other forms of industrial, research, and intellectual property are the next challenges.

Trademarks and intellectual property need to be redefined and refocused.

The notion of knowledge and job qualifications has also to be reinterrogated and reevaluated within every sector and every production.

The robotic side will have to be adapted to all these forms of definitions, including design, research, and development.

Competition,cookie-cutting, copycatting, and imitation will have to be reformulated as well as the reverse engineering procedures and processes.

Law schools will have to form new Artificially Intelligent competent Lawyers and Prosecutors as well as Judges.

One of these regulations is the consumption of electricity and the impact on the environment resulting from the multiplication of Data Centers.

While some of the most advanced, “hyperscale” data centers, like those maintained by Google, Facebook, and Amazon, have pledged to transition their sites to carbon-neutral via carbon offsetting and investment in renewable energy infrastructures like wind and solar, many of the smaller-scale data centers that I observed lack the resources and capital to pursue similar sustainability initiatives. Smaller-scale, traditional data centers have often been set up within older buildings that are not optimized for ever-changing power, cooling, and data storage capacity needs. Since the emergence of hyperscale facilities, many companies, universities, and others who operate their own small-scale data centers have begun to transfer their data to hyperscalers or cloud colocation facilities, citing energy cost reductions.


The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes.


According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report, if the entire Cloud shifted to hyperscale facilities, energy usage might drop as much as 25 percent. Without any regulatory body or agency to incentivize or enforce such a shift in our infrastructural configuration, there are other solutions that have been proposed to curb the Cloud’s carbon problem. Some have proposed relocating data centers to Nordic countries like Iceland or Sweden, in a bid to utilize ambient, cool air to minimize carbon footprint, a technique called “free cooling.” However, network signal latency issues make this dream of a haven for green data centers largely untenable to meet the computing and data storage demands of the wider world.” Source: The staggering ecological impacts of computation and the cloud

Oracle and Amazon Coming to Morocco and Africa: New Silicon Muslimetropolis in Morocco

These imbrications of the Data Centers as participants in the deficiencies of climate change have forced many providers to seek other skies and localisations in more welcoming regions in the United States and countries around the world such as Amazon and Oracle signing and moving new Data Centers to Morocco.

Artificial Intelligence comes with a hefty price tag – not just because of how expensive it is to actually train and run AI models, but also due to its considerable environmental impact.

Last week, Google revealed that its greenhouse gas emissions have jumped nearly 50% over the past five years — because the data centers it uses to power AI and other applications are using more power than ever before.

Emissions are just one part of the equation in AI’s soaring environmental costs. The technology is also known to have a voracious appetite for both energy and water. AI’s rapid growth could cause U.S. electricity consumption to “outstrip current supply in the next two years,” Bernstein analysts recently said. Meanwhile, a recent Goldman Sachs report found that the demand for power driven by AI applications is poised to increase 160% by 2030 – and also estimated that using ChatGPT for an answer sucks up to 10 times as much electricity as a basic Google search.

“That kind of spike in power demand hasn’t been seen in the U.S. since the early years of this century,” the Goldman analysts said in the report.

With AI only growing in scale and scope, and thereby getting more resource-intensive, tech companies, investors and startups are trying to balance its promises with its environmental footprint, investing in areas like renewable energy sources and energy-efficient processing.

“It’s a really important problem, given that models are only going to get bigger and how energy intensive they are,” New Enterprise Associates (NEA) partner Aaron Jacobson said in a recent edition of VC Wednesdays. “We owe it to the world to figure out how to run these as efficiently as possible.”

More clean and efficient data centers

One way stakeholders are trying to limit carbon emissions related to training and using AI is by using or designing data centers powered by cleaner energy sources like hydropower, wind, and even nuclear power — versus coal.

OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz seem to be part of this camp, with their backing of the startup Exowatt, which aims to meet such clean-energy needs by combining solar thermal tech with a thermal battery system in modules that can be stored and deployed near data centers.

Other tech companies are similarly trying to make their AI infrastructure more efficient by investing heavily in clean energy sources for their data centers.

Columbus’ data center boom may be running out of juice.

Why it matters: Ample, affordable electricity is part of what made the area so attractive to data centers and tech manufacturers in the first place, helping land mega-projects from IntelAmazonFacebook and Google.

  • But a 146% expansion of local data center inventory from 2012-2021 has gobbled up much of our excess grid capacity, per a new report by researchers at JLL, a commercial real estate firm that caters to the tech industry.
  • Threat level: The company is warning data center developers that the area’s grid capacity will be “constrained” over the next two to three years.

The big picture: Data centers are driving a surge in demand for electricity across the country.

  • The increase is fueled in part by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, which relies on especially power-hungry computing infrastructuret.
  • Utilities have doubled their estimates of how much additional electricity they’ll need in the near term, which notes the trend threatens U.S. climate change goals.

Zoom in: AEP Ohio warned PJM, the organization that operates the electric grid in the region, that it’s anticipating heavy new demands for electricity between new data centers and Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor plant.

Friction point: To meet that demand, the utility wants to build new transmission lines to New Albany for new Intel, Meta, Google, and Amazon facilities.

  • That’s drawn pushback from some residents, who complained the project will hurt their property values, per WCMH-TV.

What they’re saying: “The energy demand from these large users can be 100 times that of a typical industrial customer,” AEP Ohio spokesman Scott Blake told Axios. Source: Mar 25, 2024 –News

Earlier this year, LinkedIn parent Microsoft signed its biggest-ever corporate power purchase agreement to run its data centers on carbon-free power. Recently, Google made a major investment in BlackRock-backed Taiwanese renewable energy player New Green Power 永鑫能源 to power its data centers.

Just this week, Amazon said that it had reached a crucial climate goal by using electricity in its operations from sources that didn’t produce greenhouse gas emissions. The company claimed that it essentially offset its electricity use via its more than 500 solar and wind projects, but some critics argued that since those projects don’t directly power Amazon’s operations, the company may be offering “a misleading impression of its effect on the climate.”

“Advances in AI have depended on exponential growth in training data and thus computing power; as these power requirements grow in the era of deep learning, AI is spurring a boom in clean electricity,” said Izzy Woolgar, director of external affairs at the non-profit energy research institute Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group). “The race to invest in vast new data centers — and the green energy to power them — is on.”


Google invests $300M in ChatGPT rival

Google invested $300 million in AI firm founded by former OpenAI researcherstheverge.com • 2 min read

Anthropic’s short history is full of big players — former OpenAI researchers founded the startup in 2021 and raised $580 million in funding last April, mostly from the now-disgraced FTX.

Founded in 2021, Anthropic also conducts research into AI language models. The company has built its general-purpose chatbot, a potential rival to ChatGPT named Claude, but has yet to release it publicly.

Google has invested $300 million into an OpenAI and ChatGPT rival, officially joining the race to create the best generative AI. The tech giant is taking a 10% stake in Anthropic and its AI model Claude, The Financial Times reports. Anthropic’s short history is full of big players — former OpenAI researchers founded the startup in 2021 and raised $580 million in funding last April, mostly from the now-disgraced FTX. Google’s announcement comes weeks after Microsoft, LinkedIn’s parent company, invested $10 billion into OpenAI.

There’s been a real frenzy around #AI over the past few months. But I thought calling it an “AI arms race” was tad alarmist. Until now.

Google has invested $300 million into Anthropic — on the heels of Microsoft’s (LinkedIn’s parent) recent $10 billion investment into ChatGPT-creator OpenAI — it’s clear that the race for the future of AI has ramped up.

🚨 BREAKING: Google investing $300 million in OpenAI competitor Anthropic
Last week’s headlines saw Anthropic seeking $300 million in investment. We now know that Google will be the one to provide it.
In exchange, Google will be getting about 10% stake. Plus, Anthropic will be exclusively using Google for its computing resources.
This is similar to the original Microsoft/OpenAI deal, where Microsoft invested $1 billion for a similar tie-up in computing resources.

Times are really interesting to watch out in generative AI space. According to news reporting from the Financial Times, Google has invested $300 million in one of the most buzzy OpenAI rivals, Anthropic, whose recently-debuted generative AI model, Claude, is considered competitive with ChatGPT #google #ai. Results of Claude model are comparatively better than chatgpt.


Noorjahan Rahman• 3rd+Attorney | Writer | Artificial Intelligence Legal Risks

Anthropic‘s Claude does a decent job of translating Bengali text into English. ChatGPT failed this particular task. So did Google translate.

My dad Rehman Mehbubor has been writing op-ed articles in Bangladeshi newspapers recently. He sent me one of his articles today. Having grown up in the United States, I did not learn to read and write in Bangla, unfortunately. (Though I do speak it).

First I tried Google translate to help me read his article. It kept failing, stating that I exceeded the character limit. I kept reducing the text down and finally got it to work but felt that it was too cumbersome to do over and over again. Next I tried ChatGPT. I kept getting an error message. Finally, I tried Claude. And it worked! I’m glad I found a way to appreciate my dad’s work.

ChatGPT just turned 2 months old.
Isn’t it crazy to think that back in early November, we still searched for information on Google and wrote our own copy like a bunch of jackasses?
We were rosy cheeked cherubs when it came to AI back then.
Its fast growth lit a fire under every company in the AI space. And now they’re coming in hot.
In a few more months, the landscape will look very different.
What are a few AI contenders we should look out for?
VentureBeat article from today shed some light on it.

1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞
Created by former OpenAI researchers, it got $580 million in funding, and is about to raise $300 million more. A weird footnote to that is Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX bankrolled most of the first round, which isn’t a great association to have.
Still, the company is seemingly good. It’s in closed beta now, but said to potentially be an improvement on ChatGPT and is designed to not be evil at its core.

2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
This one is Google’s answer to OpenAI that takes a safer approach. It’s going slow because it wants to be able to cite sources and reduce risk.
It’s going to be in private beta sometime this year, and I’m here for it. Trusting data generated by AI is hard, and if it can make the data more trustworthy, that’s going to be massive.

3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐃𝐀
Google isn’t taking this lying down and they have another LLM competitor built on top of Google’s open-source Transformer architecture just like ChatGPT.
One of the researchers working on it got into trouble last year because he said it was sentient. So yeah, there’s that.
It should be the closest experience to ChatGPT of the bunch. It’ll be cool to compare the 2 tech behemoths once it’s out.

4️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈
Just like Anthropic was sort-of a descendant of OpenAI, Character AI is LaMDA’s. A couple of the original engineers that created Transformer and then LaMDA set out on their own.
Its technology lets users chat with AI-driven impersonations of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth or Shakespeare as well as fictional characters.
While that’s a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 specific use case, the technology is 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘥. I had an adventure with Mario to test it out and it was like playing an old-school text adventure game.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.
Are you excited for what’s next?

How do you see these tools working together? Or who will win?

Dangote African Carnegie and Rockefeller


Updated on 7/29/2024 – 3:43 PM

Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources, especially crude oil. It is at times the largest oil producer in Africa and one of the top ten in the world. However, the country’s refining capacity has consistently been inadequate to meet the demands of its population and growing economy.

Nigeria’s refining infrastructure is plagued by inefficiency, underinvestment, and corruption. The country has four state-owned refineries that have become dysfunctional due to poor maintenance, outdated technology, and operational inefficiencies.

This deficit requires importing many of its fuel needs, leading to a complex and often controversial reliance on foreign fuel sources.

The government often subsidizes fuel to make it affordable, creating a huge financial burden on the state. While these subsidies are intended to alleviate economic hardship, they have also led to corruption and mismanagement.

Efforts have been made to address these challenges. The government has worked on various reforms, including partially removing the subsidy to improve the efficiency of the oil and gas sector, attract private investment, and increase local refining capacity.

The most notable development is the $20 billion Dangote Refinery, owned by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, with a refining capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. However, as the refinery is not yet operating at full capacity, Nigeria still imports fuel.

Beyond the fight, if things go as planned, Nigeria will stop importing fuel by August, as Dangote said. In 2023, Nigeria’s largest gasoline imports came from Togo, totaling $109.3 million, followed by Tunisia with $104.35 million, according to data from Trade Map, a global database on international trade statistics.

“THE FIELD OF PETROL DREAM IN NIGERIA” – BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME AS TROUBLE-MAKERS

Dangote recently revealed that some employees of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil traders, which own a blending plant off Malta, and international oil companies refusing to supply crude to its refineries, are among its challenges.

Alhaj Aliko Dangote GCON, the Founder /Chairman of Dangote Industries Limited speaks on the challenges of building his refinery in Lagos with the CNN anchor and correspondent, Eleni Giokos.

Growing Support from Business Leaders for Alhaji_Aliko_DANGOTE

Several prominent Nigerians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and business mogul Femi Otedola, have voiced their support for Dangote. Otedola praised Dangote as a visionary who has made significant investments in Nigeria.

He highlighted Dangote’s achievements, including building the largest single-train refinery in the world, the second-largest sugar refinery, and the largest cement factory, among other substantial industrial projects.

“My brother, the Visionary, has built the largest single train refinery in the world, not in Kano, but in Lagos State. He is the owner of the second-largest sugar refinery in the world, also in Lagos State, and the largest cement factory in the world, not in Kano, but in Kogi State,” Otedola said.

“Additionally, he has established one of the second-largest fertilizer plants in the world, soon to surpass the biggest one in Qatar, also in Lagos State. Furthermore, he has built a fertilizer plant in Lagos that already exports globally. Aliko Dangote is a titan that God created especially for mankind,” he continued.

Among other things, Otedola noted Dangote’s role as the largest private sector employer in Nigeria and a significant taxpayer. He also noted that Dangote Group’s contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure projects, such as major roads in Lagos and Kogi states.

“His contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure, having built major roads such as the Apapa Oshodi-Owonrosoki Express Road, Wharf Road, and the Obajana-Kabba Road,” he recounted.

Otedola advised the federal government to emulate other countries by supporting local industries like the Dangote Group for the country to thrive.

President Bola Tinubu on Monday 7/29/2024 directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) to sell crude oil to the Dangote Refinery1 2. This decision came after Aliko Dangote, the owner of the refinery, expressed frustration over NNPC’s refusal to supply crude oil, which led him to consider selling his stakes in the refinery 3.

Key Points:

Presidential Directive:

President Tinubu ordered NNPC to sell crude oil to the Dangote Refinery in naira, aiming to stabilize the local currency and reduce the pressure on foreign exchange12.

The directive includes supplying 450,000 barrels of crude oil meant for domestic consumption to Nigerian refineries, using the Dangote Refinery as a pilot 4.

Dangote’s Concerns:

Aliko Dangote had threatened to sell his stakes in the refinery due to operational challenges and the refusal of NNPC to supply crude oil 3.

The refinery, which can process 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day, faced difficulties in securing adequate crude supplies 5.

Economic Implications:

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved offering 450,000 barrels, meant for domestic consumption, in naira to Nigerian refineries. Afreximbank will facilitate the trade, eliminating the need for international letters of credit and saving the country from making dollar payments. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy on Monday, 7/29/2024

The move to sell crude oil in naira is expected to reduce the need for international letters of credit and save the country billions of dollars used in importing refined fuel 4.

This decision is also seen as a way to support the local economy and ensure the smooth operation of the Dangote Refinery, which is crucial for Nigeria’s fuel supply 4.

According to wetin presidential aide Bayo Onanuga share wit tori pipo.

  • President Tinubu bin propose and di FEC agree make NNPC dey sell crude to di Dangote refinery and oda upcoming refineries for naira.
  • Di Dangote refinery currently need 15 shipments of crude oil annually, wey go reach total moni of $13.5 billion – NNPC promise to provide four of dis cargoes.
  • FEC don approve say di 450,000 barrels wey dey meant for domestic consumption, make e dey offered in Naira to Nigerian refineries, using di Dangote refinery as pilot. Di exchange rate go dey fixed for di duration of dis transaction.

Na Afreximbank and oda settlement banks for Nigeria go arrange di trade between Dangote and NNPC Limited.

Oga Onanuga tok for statement say di “game changing intervention go stop di need for international letters of credit and also save di kontri of billions of dollars wey dem dey use import refined fuel.”


The president of Nigeria ordered the NNPC – Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to sell oil to the Dangote Refinery, following the complain of the Owner Aliko Dangote about the refusal of the NNPC to sell to him crude oil and his decision to sell his stakes in the refinery and leave the oil refinery he has just built.

The directive from President Tinubu aims to address the operational challenges faced by the Dangote Refinery and support the local economy by stabilizing the naira and reducing foreign exchange pressures. This move highlights the importance of the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria’s energy sector and the need for cooperation between the government and private enterprises.

Dangote African Carnegie and Rockefeller in Modern Time and Present Dimensions

America’s emergence as an industrial power in the late 19th century relied largely on two substances: oil and iron. And two people played an important role in providing this material.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835 and his family moved to Pennsylvania when young Andrew was thirteen. John D. Rockefeller was born four years later in upstate New York, the son of a merchant who moved him to Cleveland when he was six.

Carnegie’s early work virtually traced the technological emergence of 19th-century America. He was a bobbin boy in a textile factory, a telegraph operator, and an engine supplier. He later worked on the railroads and oil wells. But at the age of 38, he established Keystone Iron Works, and he remained there until 1901. By that time, Keystone Iron had become American. Steel and Andrew Carnegie had become one of the richest men on the planet.

John D. Rockefeller went into business at the age of 20 and discovered his first oil well as a side hustle. He quickly understood that it was the right horse to ride. Even before automobiles and airplanes claimed a large share of oil, it had begun to replace coal in the electrical industries.

Carnegie and Rockefeller – both incredibly wealthy in the 20th century – came to give by two different paths: Even before reaching its peak, Carnegie wrote that a rich man’s life should take place in two stages: d First acquire wealth, then use that wealth to improve general well-being. And that’s what he did. He established the Carnegie Institute, the Tuskegee Institute, and many other schools. He became the patron saint of libraries. He created charitable foundations.

Rockefeller, on the other hand, began to relent when antitrust forces closed in on his Standard Oil Company. He also created charitable societies of all kinds to distribute excess money. He began by creating the University of Chicago. Whatever his motivations, Rockefeller gave birth to a dynasty of charitable giving that extends to the present day.

Andrew Carnegie is the best hero. After all, he was an integral part of the emerging technologies that shaped our country. And his gift flowed from a deeply held principle. Yet the Rockefeller clan took responsibility for public service. They became political leaders and professional donors: one of them died doing anthropological research in New Guinea.

Money creates responsibility. Sooner or later we realize that we can live in a decent world only when the money created by our technological foresight returns to increase the knowledge and beauty of this world.

Silver Screen Shot on the Projection of Inter-National and Inter-Cultural Lights

All the pleasure is for my definition of human relationships and joy as my first name indicates to offer you such a shortcut around the World of Business and Regional Human Cultures, which is in fact only the end of the Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.

My writing below is a “personalized” professional testimony conveying a multiplier dedication to adapting to the variety of operational references and responding to the diversity of opportunities and the human environment in which the local business conditions and regional and national practices of the predominant relational culture.

Thus, my roles and office functions were more and encompassed more of the single and simple honorable profession of an actor or director but embraced realistic and surrealistic aspects of global scope while identifying in the panorama of the territorial affairs of California and the United States of America – Designed in California and Made in the USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..

While the international scene and framework on which I continue to this day my stagings and performances remain direct, spontaneous, derived, and driven by my deep desire to lay foundations of rapprochement and bridges of communications between countries distant entities, neighboring entities, and distant organizations as well as individuals from various similar and non-identical backgrounds.

I contributed a lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce for decades both in San Francisco and in Oakland, California, with my work and my achievements on the international level during the period in which I been in the CITD and since then I continue to sail beyond the horizons of the Pacific and other shores in this time close in conjugation and distant in expression.

To conclude in style and combine business with pleasure, I am going to add more salt or spices to my international recipes simmered in English but fashioned in the style of Jacques (without any) Pépin and Paul Bocuse (not from Vaucluse) and where you can also taste the flavor of Senegal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} like other regions of the rest of Africa and this according to your choice first through and in the content of this link which can also give you more appetite for reading my other adjacent, corresponding and complementary publications in the staging of a constructive memory and a renovating present for intelligent solutions adaptable to current challenges, prospective requirements and potential risks, such is the destiny of my work and my contribution to this common destiny of existence.

Do not hesitate to share with me your impressions, remarks, initiatives, and opportunities for transatlantic and trans-African collaboration.

Best wishes to you for success.

Tout le plaisir est pour ma definition des rapport humains et de la joie comme mon prénom l’indique de vous offrir un tel raccourci autour du Monde des Affaires et des Cultures Humaines Régionales, qui n’est en fait que le bout de l’Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.

Mon écrit ci-dessous est un témoignage professionnel “personnalisé” véhiculant une dedication multiplicatrice s’adaptant à la variété des références opérationnelles et répondant à la diversité des opportunités et de l’environnement humain dans lequel s’est traduit et s’est imbibé des conditions locales des affaires [Business] et les pratiques régionales et nationales de la culture relationnelle prédominante.

Ainsi, mes rôles et fonctions d’office étaient plus et s’englobaient davantage de la seule et simple profession honorable d’un acteur ou de metteur en scène mais embrassent des allures réalistes et surréalistes de portée globale tout en s’identifiant dans le panorama des étendues d’affaires territoriales de la Californie et des Etats Unis d’Amérique – Designed in California and Made in USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..

Alors que la scène et la trame internationales sur laquelle je continues jusqu’à ce jour mes mises en scéne et performances demeurent directes, spontanées, dérivées et conduites par mon profond désir d’étaler des fondations de rapprochement et des ponts de communications entre les contrées lointaines, les entités voisines et les organisations distantes ainsi que les individus de divers horizons similaires et non identiques.

I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.

Pour conclure en beauté et joindre l’utile a l’agréable, je vais ajouter plus de sel ou d’épices à mes recettes internationales mijotées en Anglais mais façonnées a la Jacques (sans aucun) Pépin et Paul Bocuse (pas du Vaucluse) et oû vous pouvez aussi goûter la saveur du Sénégal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} comme des autres régions du reste de l’Afrique et cela selon votre choix en premier a travers et dans le contenu de ce lien qui pourra aussi vous donner plus d’appétit pour la lecture de mes autres publications adjacentes, correspondantes et complémentaires dans la mise en scène d’une mémoire constructive et d’un présent rénovateur pour des solutions intelligentes adaptables aux défis et courantes, aux exigences prospectives et aux risques potentiels, tel est le destin de mon labeur et de mon apport dans cette destinée commune d’existence.

N’hésitez pas de partager avec moi vos impressions, remarques, initiatives et opportunités de collaboration transatlantique comme transafricaine.

Bien a vous avec mes souhaits de réussite.

Case-Study of Investment Opportunity: Kingdom of Morocco

Like for any organizational service or foreign investment sought, TRI CK USA offers its client to conduct thorough research and consider factors like regulations, cultural nuances, and risk management which will provide updated lateral views and a horizontal panorama of the Investment Climate and Business Practices in Morocco

Sypnosis on the Kingdom of Morocco’s New Development Strategy for Investment

Morocco is setting a frame and components that can be multiple and diverse in their local content, and regional determinations like in their external and global objectives. This strategy is oriented by the selection of leading mining resources, industrial sectors, and technological and energy-based productions that are becoming the focus and reasons for international heated competition. These advanced areas of design and development are the topics and the objectives that differentiate the level of technological and self-sustainability masteries and sector productive leadership between nations in their drive to set new rules for governance as an alternative to the failed globalization which did not respond to local, regional, national, and “inter-nations” geostrategic interests” but impose more competitive and war-driven interventions as regulation of the flow of natural and primary resources needed to fuel such global expansion made without cushion and safety social nets and ideological and political remedies.

Morocco’s drive is a response to these interferences and moves to rejection and adhesion of nations in new identification of competitive forms. Morocco is positioning its economy and external alliances as a regional liaison, a conduit of dialogue, an ally interlocutor, and a business negotiator within balanced the weakness into forces between spheres of influence and clusters of changes.

Morocco has ratified 72 investment treaties for the promotion and protection of investments and 62 economic agreements, including with the United States and most EU nations, that aim to eliminate the double taxation of income or gains. Morocco is the only country on the African continent with a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, eliminating tariffs on more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods.

The Government of Morocco plans to phase out tariffs for some products through 2030. The FTA supports Morocco’s goals to develop as a regional financial and trade hub, providing opportunities for the localization of services and the finishing and re-export of goods to markets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Since the U.S.-Morocco FTA came into effect bilateral trade in goods has grown nearly five-fold.

The U.S. and Moroccan governments work closely to increase trade and investment through high-level consultations, bilateral dialogue, and other forums to inform U.S. businesses of investment opportunities and strengthen business-to-business ties.

Reflections of the Kingdom of Morocco in California

What are the Government measures to motivate or restrict investment in Morocco?

The new investment charter which was introduced in July 2016 as part of Law 60-16, and replacing a previous charter implemented in 1995, creates free-trade zones in each of the 12 regions of the country, recognizes indirect exporter status, and creates incentives for export-oriented and industrial companies. It also restructures investment promotion activities under the centralized Moroccan Agency for Investment Development and Export. A General Directorate for Trade, a General Directorate for Industry and an agency dedicated to developing the digital economy and e-government were also created under the new charter.

FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Figures

After a decline during the global recession, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows to Morocco increased in 2014 and 2015, exceeding USD 3 billion. In 2016, however, flows fell by 29% to USD 2.32 billion. The country’s stability should attract more investors. In addition, a vast project of economic modernisation has been launched to boost FDI. Casablanca in particular aims to become an international financial center. Traditionally, France, Saudi Arabia and Spain have been the three main investors. FDI is mainly concentrated in the real estate sector, followed by industry and tourism.

Foreign Direct Investment inflows by country and sector in Morocco

Foreign direct investment, net inflows (% of GDP) – Morocco

Here are some countries and sectors that have invested in Morocco through foreign direct investment (FDI): In 2022, the top investing countries by stock were France (30.8%), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (20.3%), Spain (8%), Switzerland (5.7%), and the United States (5%). In the first quarter of 2022, the leading investors were the United States, France, and the UAE.

Sectors that receive the most FDI are:

  • Industry: Almost one-fourth of FDI
  • Real estate: 20% of FDI
  • Communication: 12.4% of FDI
  • Tourism: 9.5% of FDI
  • Energy and mining: 6.4% of FDI
  • Banking: 5.7% of FDI 

The aim is to be considered as an alternative and reliable intermediary and as a hub of transfer and transformation of existing created and advanced researched values. The multiple participation of Morocco in international events, the signature of trade treaties and investment agreements, direct involvement in security, and strategic alliances are the institutional expressions for business integration, diplomatic acceptance, and cultural harmonization driven by the search for mutual benefits and complementary exchanges with a transfer of technological intelligence and operational know-how that Morocco is striving to materialize. A new model of development based on the production of clean energy remains the determining factor in conglomerating these similar but not identical factors of development.
