The weakening of the role of the dollar as a global reserve currency is likely without geopolitical and economic shocks, according to a report by the Swiss bank Credit Suisse. Floating rates, the desire of central banks to reduce sanctions risks, as well as the availability of currency swap lines will affect the weakening of the dollar’s position. @banksta

The Supreme Court recognized as “null and void” a loan agreement executed by third parties through an Internet bank using an SMS code. Bank customers have a real chance to challenge remotely issued loans issued to them by fraudsters. Previously, in such cases, the courts usually sided with the bank. Experts admit that banks may have to reconsider their approaches to protecting customer transactions. @banksta

About ChatGPT. The future has already arrived, here it is the moment when AI surpassed humans in the office routine. Where once AI service responses were simple or stupid, ChatGPT has surpassed the “average knowledge worker” in every area: writing letters, programming, creating stories, images, and more. (for reference: ChatGPT is an AI-based service from the Open.AI team, it uses the GPT-3.5 language model, the 4th version will be released soon, which will be even an order of magnitude better). This is the fastest growing project in the history of all startups. The service has attracted more than 1 million users in less than 5 days since its launch (in December 2022), and investors have already valued ChatGPT at $29 billion, just a month later. Now there are rumors that the project will be bought by Microsoft. Everyone who is associated with intellectual work and office work: entrepreneurs, programmers, products, copywriters, marketers, bloggers and everyone else – simply must start using ChatGPT and apply it in their work. Otherwise, you will simply lose the competition and feel like diggers in a world where everyone has already switched to excavators. Product University starts next week an 8-week product management program with a focus on creating and using AI products for business, ChatGPT and more. You can make AI-based chatbots and apply them in your work and business. The course is taught by some of the strongest experts on the market in this topic (see for yourself, see the landing page). Details, program and payment at the link: #chatgpt

The owner of the Shokoladnitsa chain of coffee houses, Gallery-ALEX LLC, filed a petition with the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal to involve him in the case of the demolition of a production cluster on the territory of the Timiryazevsky food technopark in the capital. Unauthorized demolition of supposedly unauthorized buildings, as previously reported, was initiated by the State Inspectorate for Control over the Use of Real Estate in Moscow (GIN). The owner of “Shokoladnitsa” announced his intention to act in the dispute on the side of the defendant – the owner of “Timiryazevsky” JSC “Adapt Invest”. As stated in the petition, “Gallery-ALEX” has been renting a building at ul. Pryanishnikova 23A. It houses a production site that provides products to the entire Moscow Shokoladnitsa chain, including Yandex and DeliveryClub marketplaces, as well as VkusVill, Samokat and others. The company also fulfills contracts with the Moscow Department of Health to provide food for hospital staff. 900 jobs have been created in the building, equipment worth hundreds of millions of rubles has been placed. In the event of the demolition of buildings, “the operation of the Shokoladnitsa network will be significantly hampered, the organization will suffer significant losses.” Previously, it was already reported about the risks for the food security of Moscow in the event of the demolition of the Timiryazevsky buildings, as well as the fact that all buildings can be recognized by the court as legal. However, there is evidence that the GIN is in a hurry to demolish them before the court’s verdict. For his part, the owner of Timiryazevsky suspects the presence of a corruption component in the actions of the GIN. Law enforcement agencies – the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office – filed applications about attempts at unauthorized demolition of the technopark buildings, either by a one-day company from Sakhalin, or with the involvement of the Lipetsk LLC Liquidator. The latter company has already managed to demolish the humanitarian aid collection point for Donbass residents on the territory of the technopark and outraged the Russian flag by tearing it off the roof of the trailer. This fact is being checked in the TFR. There is also information that structures seeking to build apartments on the territory of the technopark are interested in the demolition of buildings. Director of “Timiryazevsky” Vadim Krishchenko stated that he had repeatedly received frank offers to sell buildings on the cheap until they were demolished. Earlier, information appeared that the so-called “GIN captures” often become the reason for proceedings in law enforcement agencies. It is possible that, following the Shokoladnitsa, other large companies that do not want to go under the bucket of corruption and suffer billions in losses may be involved in the case. In particular, a large site in Timiryazevsky is rented by Azon LLC, a system integrator that is included in the TOP solution providers for the public sector and ranked 11th in the Tadviser rating of the largest IT solution providers from the domestic software register. Also, the tenant is the Farsh Factory of the brothers Alexander and Viktor Linnikov, domestic food producers of the Miratorg network. In total, more than a hundred enterprises operate on the territory of the technopark. “I have been saying for a long time that interest in our technopark is connected either with ordinary corruption in the GIN, or with sabotage, which is much more serious,” Vadim Krishchenko confesses. – Eliminate thousands of jobs in the capital, stop food production for hundreds of points, stop supplying food to medical institutions in Moscow, destroy the business of the largest IT companies in the public sector – all these tasks can be solved with one excavator bucket, the only question is in whose interests. It is unlikely that the mayor of Moscow knows about this; rather, this is an initiative exclusively at the GIN level.” @banksta

Switzerland is not against the transfer of Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine, but banksters are against it. Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis expressed support for the idea of ​​transferring assets, but Swiss banks strongly oppose such a position. The thing is that the decision will hit the financial sector hard, and the confiscation of assets is contrary to the laws of the country. Now Switzerland has frozen 7.5 billion francs ($8.2 billion) of Russian assets, and changing the law on their confiscation will require a referendum. @banksta

It seems that it is already known what top IT specialists will do on Monday after work (after 18.30, to be exact). Tinkoff will host the first IT skating rink, where about 6,000 specialists from the country’s main IT companies are expected to attend. Yandex, Sberbank, Ozon, Avito, VTB, MTS, Kaspersky Lab, National Research University Higher School of Economics and many others have already confirmed their participation. By the way, today Tinkoff bears appeared at the offices of the largest IT companies. Such an action is not accidental, Tinkoff has long set itself the goal of rallying the IT community, and it’s definitely better to do it on the ice than in stuffy conference rooms or, even more so, online. Banksters have prepared unusual entertainment formats like an IT quest on ice. It will also be possible to learn how to skate or play hockey, that is, you can come without any skills at all. Previously, the event was held only for employees, and such a large-scale ice skating rink will be held for the first time. An excellent initiative against the backdrop of an unstable information field around the Russian IT sector. @banksta

The US Treasury allowed a global financial crisis with a default in the country. The inability to pay the national debt will lead to a recession in the US economy and is likely to cause a global financial crisis. The downgrade of the debt rating will undermine the role of the dollar as a reserve currency, according to the US Department of the Treasury. @banksta
