DEBRECEN, Hungary (AP) — The coach of Israel’s national soccer team says he is “standing behind my country” amid calls for the team to be suspended from international competition because of the war in Gaza, adding that “we are in a very complicated situation.”Israel “hosts” Italy in neutral Hungary in a World Cup qualifier Monday and the Italian Soccer Coaches’ Association said last month that it had written a formal letter calling for Israel to be suspended.“We have a super morale and amazing country,” Israel coach Ran Ben-Shimon said. “I trust my people. We are trusting our army and soldiers.…
These are heady times at Illinois, which is enjoying its most successful run of football in over two decades.The No. 9 Illini entered the top 10 of The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday for the first time since 2001. The 20 weeks they’ve been ranked since Bret Bielema took over in 2021 are the most over a five-season stretch in four decades.They’re on a six-game win streak heading into Saturday’s home game against Western Michigan.That Bielema’s team continues to ride the momentum it created during a 10-win season is really not a surprise. The Illini returned 16 starters, including…
Paul Graham, the cofounder of startup incubator Y Combinator, said on Saturday that students should think twice before launching their startups in high school.”The thing to do now is to learn new things and increase your skill at the things you already know,” Graham wrote in a post on X.”Startups are rarely the optimal way to do this. The point of a startup is to make something people want, not to learn,” he added.Representatives for Graham at Y Combinator did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.Graham said it probably isn’t the best idea for a high schooler…

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Quarterback Lamar Jackson regretted losing his cool by shoving a Bills fan in the end zone during a touchdown celebration.Running back Derrick Henry felt even worse for losing a fumble that opened the door for the Ravens’ improbable collapse. With Matt Prater hitting a 32-yard field goal as time expired, Baltimore squandered a 15-point lead in the final four minutes in a stunning season-opening 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.“I told my teammates after the game, put the loss on me,” said Henry, following an outing in which he set several milestones…
Geoffrey Hinton has long pioneered the development of artificial intelligence. Little did the AI godfather know that one day, his girlfriend would rely on it to break up with him.Hinton told the Financial Times in a wide-ranging interview on Friday that his now-former girlfriend asked the chatbot to explain why he had been “a rat” and delivered the AI-generated critique straight to him.”She got the chatbot to explain how awful my behaviour was and gave it to me,” he told the FT. “I didn’t think I had been a rat, so it didn’t make me feel too bad. I met…

Musk first runs afoul of Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.De Moraes asked X to remove over 100 accounts flagged as misinformation, hate speech, or attacks on democracy. The platform initially agreed, but Musk posted to X later that same day, saying the platform would not impose restrictions.Musk called the order “aggressive censorship” and told his 202 million followers that X would lift all restrictions.”We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to X in Brazil,” Musk wrote. “As a result, we will probably lose all revenue…
A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated. To illustrate the point, researchers say that when they asked “a widely used chatbot” about the title of Adam Tauman Kalai’s PhD dissertation, they got three different answers,…
How can startups and developers actually monetize their AI products? A startup called Koah, which recently raised $5 million in seed funding, is betting that ads will be a big part of the answer. If you spend any time online, there’s a good chance you’ve seen plenty of ugly, AI-generated ads — but few to none when interacting with AI chatbots themselves. Koah co-founder and CEO Nic Baird argued that will inevitably change. “Once these things get outside San Francisco, there’s only one way to make [them profitable] on a global scale,” Baird told TechCrunch over Zoom. “It’s happened time…
