"Albania to speed up EU accession using ChatGPT".

Ok, I understood that sentence up to "using ChatGPT".

"The Albanian government will use ChatGPT to translate thousands of pages of EU legal measures and provisions into shqip (Albanian language) and then integrate them into existing legal structures, following an agreement with the CEO of the parent company, OpenAI, Mira Murati, who was born in Albania."

Oh wow, happened when Mira Murati was CEO. That was, like, a week?

So is ChatGPT the best translator for shqip because it's a smaller language? Why ChatGPT and not some other machine translation system?

"The model to be used by the Albanian government will translate into Albanian and provide a detailed overview of what and where changes need to be made to local legislation to align with EU rules. It will also provide an analysis of the impact of all measures and changes, which usually require many experts and a lot of time."

"Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said the move would eliminate 'an army of translators and a battalion of lawyers, costing millions of euros' and speed up the process."

So the idea is just to use ChatGPT as a translator. But is it really a good idea? Some of those "army of translators and battalion of lawyers" need to double-check all ChatGPT's work. ChatGPT is not always right.

Albanian Piano Music

There are two generations of Albanian composers represented on this invaluable guide to the country’s piano music. Simon Gjoni, Cesk Zadeja and Tonin Harapi belong to the first generation of professional composers from Albania, all born in the 1920s, studying abroad but returning to the capital and artistic hub, Tirane, to lead cultural life while the country suffered from comparative international isolation in the 1950s and 60s. It is to this later generation that Pellumb Vorpsi, Thomas Simaki and Vasil Tole belong.

Due to its extreme isolation the musical development in Albania kept its own pace and direction, independent of what was happening in other countries. This new recording presents a unique overview of the music by Albanian composers of the 20th century. From the 1950´s on the musical life received a new impetus in the development of musical education systems and the founding of several symphony orchestras, and composers were inspired to write in a new national style, which was rooted in the rich folk music tradition of the country.

This album marks the debut of Marsida Koni (b.1981) on Piano Classics. An Albanian native, she grew up in her home country and made her broadcast debut at the age of just nine, and her orchestral concerto debut two years later. Having graduated from the university in Tirane, she pursued further studies in Italy, where she now makes her career. She has a recorded partnership with the clarinettist Piero Vincenti, and she is artistic director of the Lazar Berman International Piano Competition in Camerino in the Marche region of northern Italy.

Composer: Thomas Simaku, Pëllumb Vorpsi, Kozma Lara, Feim Ibrahim, Cesk Zadeja, Simon Gjoni, Vasil Tole, Limos Dizdari, Tonin Harapi
Artist: Marsida Koni (piano)

Albania cuts ties with Iran

Back in July, the government websites of #Albania were knocked offline. Last month, security company Mandiant researchers revealed that Iranian hackers, working on behalf of #Tehran, were **likely **to be behind the attacks, which took out public services for hours. “These are disruptive attacks, which affect the lives of everyday Albanians who live within the #NATO alliance,” John Hultquist, Mandiant’s vice president of intelligence, told #WIRED when it published its findings.

This week, the government of Albanian took the unprecedented step to cut diplomatic ties with #Iran, accusing it of launching the #cyberattack. The country also ordered Iranian embassy staff to leave the country. “The deep investigation put at our disposal undeniable evidence that the cyberattack against our country was orchestrated and sponsored by the Islamic Republic of Iran which had involved four groups for the attack on Albania,” prime minister Edi Rama said in a statement. (Microsoft conducted the investigation for the Albanian government.)

While Iran denies the attack, the US National Security Council also said it concluded Iran was behind the attack. In a further response, the #US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security and minister for intelligence. “Iran’s cyberattack against Albania disregards norms of responsible peacetime State behavior in cyberspace, which includes a norm on refraining from damaging critical infrastructure that provides services to the public,” said Brian Nelson, the undersecretary of the Treasury for #Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

Afghan refugees in Albania

Albania, one of Europe’s poorest nations, has committed to taking in up to 4,000 refugees from Afghanistan, more than any other country. The 677 who have arrived, including about 250 children, are being housed in resorts along the Adriatic coast, a practice based on an emergency-response approach that Albania developed after a devastating earthquake in 2019, when people left homeless were put up in beach hotels.

“We don’t put people in camps. They are dehumanizing and where all the problems start psychologically,” the prime minister said. “We have been like them many times in our own history. They are just trying to escape from hell.”
