Of the ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery), a magazine called Communication of the ACM's edition releases 1 month before its stated release month. In the latest edition, regarding March 2021, of Communications of the ACM , Column Editor, Susan J. Winter wrote Computing Ethics: What To Do About Deepfakes . Regarding Winter’s desire to halt or hinder illegal or unethical deepfakes, a video technology like wearing a full body masking suit, Winter wrote, “Here are three areas where technical experts can make positive contributions to the development of synthetic media technologies: education and media literacy, subject defense, and verification” (Winter, March, 2021). Winter was saying actions such as teaching and having disruptive technology knowledge, researching professionally, and proving concepts are parts of deepfake experts’ calculus. But this much work specializes such that entry level, junior, work will probably be offered to overqualified professionals. Technic
On Telecoms Industry Challenges, a Seventeen Team Entry Point
Arti Mehta wrote, "At Digital Transformation Asia this week, 17 Catalyst teams demonstrated their solutions to common telecoms industry challenges." Demonstrating common telecoms industry solutions gives an industry entry point, and it is the least common challenge, but it is a demonstrated challenge: the problem is a university course topic.
On Catalysts, the Basics
Mehta reported: Catalysts are member- driven, concept-proving communications service providers (CSPs), suppliers, developers, etc. who assemble a quick and successive access solution. Mehta reported: many leading commerce deployments are a Catalyst assembly. Mehta reported: with sixty-plus companies, and a two hundred plus entry count, this event location was Malaysia. Mehta wrote: the project selection was artificial intelligence (AI), user experience (UX), and virtual intelligence (VI); but also blockchain; but 5G; but etc. Mehta wrote: thirteen industry experts judged each project.

The Industry Demands Change
In Scripture, the Apostle Saul sent his son, Timothy, an assurance message. Saul (NIV) wrote, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1:7). These Catalyst winners are a big project, but it defines overhead wrong: timid because the Play Store is not used, powerless because the consumer Google+ is shutdown and remembered, but hating people because 5G is a health hazard; but not disciplining itself because telcos data is put behind the ™ Forum instruction paywall.
