In France, the number of individuals utilizing generative artificial intelligence is notably small, with fewer than 50 users in the country. This statistic is presented alongside a disparate collection of other news briefs.

One brief focuses on the pilots of Canadair aircraft, often referred to as "firefighters of the sky." These elite aviators risk their lives each summer battling wildfires, yet their salaries reportedly fall far short of commercial aviation standards. The article notes that only a handful of pilots in France fall into this category.

Another item reports on Elon Musk's significant financial downturn. After his net worth surpassed $1 trillion for the first time in June, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO experienced a substantial decrease in his fortune, losing $650 billion.

Additionally, the article mentions a cyberattack that impacted the French supermarket chain Intermarchรฉ. The security incident resulted in a data leak affecting nearly 300,000 customers of its Drive service, compromising personal information such as names, phone numbers, and addresses.
