										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is the tech world facing an epidemic of &#8216;AI Psychosis&#8217;? Andrej Karpathy thinks so, and he’s not alone. In a recent essay, he highlighted a troubling perception gap surrounding artificial intelligence, particularly among developers.</p>
<p>Karpathy asserts that the rapid advancements in AI models are causing significant distress in the developer community. He notes, &#8220;Developers are not the exception. They are the preview,&#8221; indicating that the challenges they face may soon affect a broader audience.</p>
<p>Recent data backs up his claims. A survey revealed that 31% of Gen Z now expresses anger towards AI, a notable increase of 9 percentage points from last year. This sentiment is echoed by a Gallup poll showing that 54% of Americans are growing tired of hearing about AI.</p>
<p>The impact of AI is not just emotional; it’s economic. Goldman Sachs estimates that AI is eliminating approximately 16,000 net U.S. jobs each month. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, 78,557 tech workers were laid off, with nearly half of these job losses attributed directly to AI advancements.</p>
<p>Karpathy&#8217;s concerns come amid revelations from Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Mythos Preview, which has identified and exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in major operating systems. This raises questions about the safety and reliability of AI systems.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Meta has been tracking employee productivity through an internal dashboard that ranks users by AI token consumption. The results show that top users are achieving high productivity, but at what cost to the workforce?</p>
<p>As the AI landscape evolves, the developer community is feeling the effects first. The convergence of AI capability, expertise, and domain knowledge is creating a perfect storm of challenges.</p>
<p>What remains uncertain is how the industry will address these issues moving forward. With rising frustration and job losses, the conversation around AI&#8217;s role in society is more critical than ever.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed about how companies plan to mitigate these impacts, but the urgency for solutions is clear.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The lotus trend is making waves in both the fashion world and the stock market, with Gen Z leading the charge in Thailand.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Reaction from the field</h2>
<p>The lotus trend is taking center stage, with significant implications for both the fashion industry and the financial landscape. In Saint-Tropez, the buzz surrounding lotus flowers is palpable, especially among Gen Z, who are increasingly adopting these blooms as fashion statements. This shift is not just aesthetic; it reflects deeper cultural values and economic realities.</p>
<p>Lotus Chocolate Company Ltd is facing a crisis, rated a <strong>Strong Sell</strong> as of March 20, 2026. The company&#8217;s financial struggles are alarming, with a <strong>Debt to EBITDA ratio</strong> of <strong>3.28</strong> times, indicating severe leverage issues. Over the past year, its stock has plummeted by approximately <strong>-33.6%</strong>, and the operating profit has contracted at an annual rate of <strong>-181.48%</strong> over the last five years.</p>
<p>Net sales have also taken a hit, declining by <strong>-16.71%</strong>, while interest expenses have surged by <strong>95.85%</strong> in just nine months, reaching ₹<strong>12.73</strong> crores. This financial turmoil has led to a staggering <strong>41%</strong> drop in stock value over the last six months, and with <strong>29.23%</strong> of promoter shares pledged, the risk of forced selling looms large.</p>
<p>Amidst this financial chaos, the lotus flower is blossoming in a different context. Influencer @imokvatchara recently sparked a trend by showcasing pink lotuses, emphasizing their beauty and local significance. &#8220;Thai lotuses were beautiful and that there was no need to spend large sums on imported flowers,&#8221; they stated, highlighting a growing preference for local over foreign.</p>
<p>As the trend gains traction, influencers are creatively styling their outfits to complement the lotus bouquets. Some are even donning white outfits that contrast strikingly with the pink flowers, enhancing the visual impact. This fashion movement is not just about aesthetics; it&#8217;s a cultural statement, reflecting a shift towards valuing local heritage.</p>
<p>The lotus flower, traditionally associated with purity and devotion in Buddhist worship, is now becoming a symbol of modernity and self-expression for the younger generation. The juxtaposition of its historical significance with contemporary fashion trends illustrates a fascinating cultural evolution.</p>
<p>As the lotus trend continues to grow, the financial fate of Lotus Chocolate Company Ltd remains uncertain. With its stock in freefall and significant debt challenges, the company&#8217;s future hangs in the balance. Meanwhile, the popularity of lotus flowers among Gen Z in Thailand suggests a vibrant cultural shift that could redefine fashion norms.</p>
<p>Details remain unconfirmed regarding the potential impacts of these trends on the broader market and cultural landscape. As both the financial and fashion worlds navigate these changes, observers will be keenly watching for further developments.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Balen Shah has officially taken office as Nepal's youngest prime minister, following a historic election victory. His party, the Rastriya Swatantra Party, secured a commanding majority.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Key moments</h2>
<p>Balen Shah has been sworn in as Nepal’s prime minister on March 27, 2026, making history as the youngest leader at just 35 years old. His ascension follows a decisive victory for the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which captured 125 of the 165 first-past-the-post seats in parliament.</p>
<p>This political shift comes on the heels of a Gen Z-led uprising that ousted former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The protests, which began in 2025, were sparked by a controversial social media ban and widespread concerns over corruption. Shah&#8217;s rise is viewed as a direct response to the demands of a younger electorate seeking change.</p>
<p>Shah previously served as the mayor of Kathmandu, and his leadership is expected to bring a fresh perspective to governance. The RSP, formed only four years prior to his election, has quickly established itself as a formidable force in Nepali politics. With a two-thirds majority, Shah&#8217;s government is poised to implement significant reforms, particularly in anti-corruption measures.</p>
<p>The Karki Commission has been instituted to investigate the violence and property damage during the Gen Z movement, reflecting Shah&#8217;s commitment to accountability. His administration aims to prioritize transparency and address the wealth of senior officials, a move that has been welcomed by many.</p>
<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Shah following his election, signaling a potential strengthening of ties between the two nations. However, the relationship between Shah and Rabi Lamichhane, the party chairman, will be closely scrutinized as they navigate their shared power dynamics.</p>
<p>Political analysts are optimistic about Shah&#8217;s mandate, with Bishnu Sapkota stating, &#8220;There is so much excitement with the heavy mandate. This is a historical and unprecedented opportunity for him to execute his agenda because his party is likely to have close to a two-thirds majority.&#8221; Meanwhile, Shishir Khanal expressed surprise at the overwhelming support, saying, &#8220;We were expecting just over a 50 percent majority, but a two-thirds mandate was beyond our expectations.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Shah embarks on this new chapter, the streets may play a significant role in opposition, as noted by Yujan Rajbhandari: &#8220;With the RSP’s large majority, parliamentary opposition will be weak. So the streets will play a major role as opposition.&#8221; The next 100 days will be critical for Shah&#8217;s administration as it seeks to fulfill voter expectations and address governance challenges head-on.</p>
