Uma misteriosa figura mascarada vem chamando a atenção por toda a capital britânica ao realizar atos aleatórios de bondade. O chamado Batman de Londres conquistou um grande número de seguidores nas redes sociais ao aparecer em diversos locais para pagar o combustível de estranhos, tapar buracos nas ruas e até vender o doce Freddo pelo preço antigo de 5 centavos.

Após semanas de especulações, a BBC Londres foi convidada para um encontro secreto com o vigilante. O convite trazia apenas hora e local, levando a equipe a um beco deserto onde a figura finalmente surgiu. Ao ser questionado sobre suas motivações, o mascarado afirmou que qualquer um pode ser um herói e que seu objetivo é mostrar o lado bom da cidade em tempos difíceis.

Teorias sobre a identidade secreta

O mistério sobre quem está por trás da máscara tornou-se tão popular quanto as próprias boas ações. Muitos internautas acreditam que o homem fantasiado seja o YouTuber Niko Omilana, conhecido por vídeos de pegadinhas e por campanhas políticas anteriores em que também costumava tapar buracos nas ruas.

Apesar de Omilana ter enviado uma mensagem de voz à BBC negando ser o herói, as suspeitas continuam. O criador de conteúdo Roy Patrick declarou acreditar que ainda pode se tratar do influenciador ou de alguém enviado por ele, destacando que as teorias da conspiração em torno do caso movimentam a curiosidade do público.

• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is conflicted about how AI models are changing fields like mathematics.
• Altman said that he had some "sadness and melancholy" when he saw what OpenAI's models could do.
• Prominent mathematicians have blasted AI companies for pursuing some of the field's most complex problems.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he feels conflicted about OpenAI solving some of math's biggest problems.

"As I said, I don't think it was bad for AI," Altman told Stripe President John Collison during an episode of "Cheeky Pint" that was released on Thursday. 'And I think, on net, the world deserves to understand how the universe works. But I do have empathy for the method."

A number of prominent mathematicians have blasted AI companies for pushing frontier models to solve some of the most complex math problems. OpenAI pulled out of a Caltech "math hackathon" after current and former Caltech mathematicians and others in the field said the event was "likely to have destructive impacts for the mathematical community."

Separately, 28 Fields Medal winners published their own open letter, warning that "the push by AI companies to solve mathematical problems as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics, and to the mathematical community."

OpenAI received considerable attention after announcing that its models had solved a 90-year-old, unresolved problem related to the Navier-Stokes equations, a set of formulas that predict how liquids and gases move. The Clay Mathematics Institute had offered $1 million to anyone who could determine whether those formulas would always behave as we would expect in the physical universe, part of a series of difficult mathematical questions known as the "Millennium Problems." OpenAI said that its AI models found an example where the equations do not, and end up with a "singularity" where a vortex starts spinning infinitely quickly.

Altman said OpenAI is "working through" how to continue scientific research while also making sure those in highly specialized fields "get the best version of the future that they can have."

"I would like to figure out a way to do this that is as sensitive to the communities that have driven these fields forward for centuries as we can," he said, adding, "It's a hard thing."

Collison tried to assuage Altman's feelings, reminding the OpenAI CEO that "the longshoremen union weren't happy about the port automation."

Altman said part of the reason he feels differently about the whole experience is based on an OpenAI Slack channel that was named "Model Name-Hold My Beer" after the meme about if you think this is crazy just wait. (He did not explain if this was a released model or not.)

"People were just throwing that at the hardest problems they could," Altman said. "And people didn't think the model was going to do these things."

The AI model tackled "people's hardest research problems from their academic career." Altman said he was so excited, "I couldn't go to bed."

In addition to the euphoria, he said other feelings set in.

"I also had much more sadness and melancholy, and a feeling of something ending than I was expecting," Altman said.

The OpenAI CEO said it was "beautiful" that any mathematician could solve even the most formidable problem if only they worked hard enough. Altman said AI is changing that equation.

"I mean, certainly, most mathematicians never solve a Millennium Prize problem," he said. "But the idea that you might be able to."

UN envoy for Cyprus Maria Angela Holguin is currently in Cyprus and will be meeting with President Nikos Christodoulides on Friday at 12.30pm.

Holguin will also be meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman on Monday, and hold a tripartite meeting with both Christodoulides and Erhurman on November 9.

On Tuesday, Christodoulides said both he and Erhurman had agreed to make “no further statements” on matters of substance related to the Cyprus problem ahead of Holguin’s trip.

Las tradiciones paganas británicas y celtas en torno al mimbre se basan en el misticismo de la madera de sauce y proceden, entre otras fuentes de las antiguas Grecia y Roma, del geógrafo Estrabón, a principios del siglo I, que describió un coloso de paja y madera frente al que se colocaban seres humanos y animales antes de ser quemados, y de La guerra de las Galias, de Julio César, en el siglo I a. C., que contó cómo los antiguos druidas construían gigantescas efigies con ramas de mimbre y las rellenaban con hombres vivos como sacrificio para sus dioses.

Israel is facing political uncertainty after an election that produced no clear governing majority. But what do the results reveal about how Israelis want leaders to confront the country's challenges? Nick Schifrin discussed that with Tamir Hayman, former chief of Israeli military intelligence and current executive director of the Institute for National Security Studies.

The actor originated the role of Prof. Charles Xavier for 20th Century Fox in 2000, and will reprise the role in Marvel's upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

He also worked on ‘Bewitched,’ ‘Get Smart,’ ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ ‘The Governor & J.J.’ and ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil’ and came up with the villain King Tut for ‘Batman.’

Turkish Cypriots on Thursday marked the 103rd anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey with events held in various towns and cities throughout the course of the day.

The celebrations centred in Nicosia, where a wreath-laying ceremony was held at the statue of the Republic of Turkey’s founding president Mustafa Kemal Ataturk at the capital’s walled city’s Kyrenia gate.

That ceremony was attended by Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman, two of his predecessors, Mehmet Ali Talat and Ersin Tatar, Turkish ambassador in Nicosia Ali Murat Bacsceri, Turkish Cypriot ‘prime minister’ Unal Ustel, Turkish Cypriot Nicosia mayor Mehmet Harmanci, and various other dignitaries.

At its conclusion, Erhurman signed a memorial book, addressing Ataturk, writing that “I am proud to stand before you on the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey.”

“The great determination, courage and foresight you displayed while leading the Turkish nation’s fight for its existence continue to guide us today. The principles and revolutions you created, and the modern values entrusted to us by the republic have illuminated our path for over a century,” he wrote.

Erhurman: Turkish Cypriots advance on enlightened path opened by Republic of Turkey

He added that “the Turkish Cypriot people continue to advance on the enlightened path opened by the Republic of Turkey”, and that “we wish to express once again, in the presence of your cherished memory, our determination to bring our country to the level of contemporary civilisations, prioritising the peace, security and wellbeing of our people above all else”.

Earlier in the day, Tatar issued a statement of his own, describing the establishment of the Republic of Turkey as “the highest expression of our ideal of independence, our will for modernisation and our belief in a strong future”.

“The republic is the strongest guarantee of our nation’s path to sovereignty, freedom and a dignified future. On this meaningful day, I commemorate with gratitude, mercy and respect, first and foremost Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, his comrades in arms, our beloved martyrs and all our veterans who have passed away,” he said.

Elsewhere, a parade was due to be held on Nicosia’s arterial Dereboyu avenue on Thursday afternoon, while wreath-laying ceremonies and parades were also to be held in the towns of Famagusta, Kyrenia, Morphou, Trikomo and Lefka, and in the villages of Galatia, near Trikomo, and both Lysi and Lefkoniko on the Mesaoria plain.

Despite years of political baggage, the Israeli prime minister outperformed expectations, and his rivals, by playing on Jewish voters’ fears of Arab political power and potential security threats.
