<p>SEOUL, March 31 (Reuters) - K-pop group Blackpink's Jisoo became the last member to make a solo debut with her EP "ME" released on Friday.</p>
<p>Having debuted in 2016, Blackpink has become one of the biggest girl groups in the world, breaking records such as having the most subscribers on YouTube as an artist.</p>
<p>Local media reported this week that the group would put on a joint performance with pop star Lady Gaga at a state dinner U.S. President Joe Biden will host for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in late April.</p>
<p>"We have our concerts and Coachella in April as a group. We have great things coming up." Jisoo told fans in an online news conference.</p>
<p>Many meetings and a lot of thought went into her first record, she said, before adding that she was not nervous about her solo debut.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YudHcBIxlYw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jennie, another member of Blackpink, released her first solo work in 2018. Rose and Lisa also made their solo debut in 2021.</p>
<p>The group embarked on a world tour "Born Pink" in Seoul in October which is scheduled to continue until June.</p>
<p>YG Entertainment said pre-orders for Jisoo's debut album surpassed 1.31 million copies as of Thursday.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the K-pop superstars also became the most-streamed female band on streaming app Spotify, according to Guinness World Records.</p>
<p>Their songs had a whopping 8,880,030,049 individual streams, overtaking British pop group Little Mix, Guinness World Records said at that time.</p>

<p>Dupri shared the 2019 stage with Grammy-winning songbird Mariah Carey, rapper Lil Jon and others.</p>

<p>The band boasts about a new production with a some new songs added to the setlist and a few surprises that members won&rsquo;t reveal, the product of plenty of time to think about the way the tour looks and sounds.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We do constantly try and keep ourselves interested because it&rsquo;s nice to change the show around, even in small ways,&rdquo; says drummer Roger Taylor. &ldquo;Obviously we do some sort of deep cuts whilst at the same time keeping the big hits that everybody knows. People want to see what they know. But it&rsquo;s nice to spice it up with a few things they might not expect.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The tour will make 14 stops throughout the U.S. and Canada, including shows in Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Denver, Boston, Toronto, Chicago and Dallas, before closing out in Los Angeles in November. The concerts are being billed as a continuation of Queen&rsquo;s 2017-2019 Rhapsody Tour.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />It&rsquo;s the first time the band has toured North America in four years, because of the pandemic, and guitarist Brian May &mdash; who was recently knighted by King Charles III &mdash; says he, Taylor and singer Lambert have deepened their bond. &ldquo;For a long time we were sitting there thinking, &lsquo;What the hell do we do?&rsquo; But when we came back to it, it was very fresh, which is probably a nice thing,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I think we learned all over again how to interact with each other. So I think we are on a different level.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The band is riding a wave of respect following the 2018 release of the Oscar-winning &ldquo;Bohemian Rhapsody,&rdquo; the biopic of lead singer Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It brought in a younger audience and younger people are what you feed on, in a sense,&rdquo; says May. &ldquo;The energy of young people is what we&rsquo;re about. We&rsquo;ve always been about that. So it&rsquo;s been fantastic for us that a whole new generation understand what we&rsquo;re about and come and want to really rock.&rdquo;</p>

<p>While the band won&rsquo;t reveal the setlist, it isn&rsquo;t too hard to predict &ldquo;Bohemian Rhapsody&rdquo; will be played. The complex song that no one thought would be a radio hit has emerged as one of their top tracks, in large part because of 1992&prime;s &ldquo;Wayne&rsquo;s World,&rdquo; where it played during a key scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;That one took us really into another league,&rdquo; says Taylor, who calls it a &ldquo;game-changer.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Expect also to hear &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t Stop Me Now,&rdquo; which Taylor says started as a medium hit and has emerged as a top Queen request and &ldquo;Who Wants to Live Forever,&rdquo; which May says Lambert takes &ldquo;to a different place&rdquo; live.</p>
<p>The time away has also given members a chance to appreciate finding Lambert, who impressed with a Queen song when he auditioned for &ldquo;American Idol&rdquo; during the 2009 season. Lambert started performing with Queen in 2011.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Our material, our songs, are very eclectic and the plain fact is that Adam is a truly great singer, and there are not many singers that could cover that range of material as wonderfully as he does,&rdquo; says Taylor.</p>

<p>May agrees, calling Lambert &ldquo;kind of a gift from God&rdquo; who combines a powerful voice with a stage presence and emotional interaction with the audience.</p>
<p>&ldquo;He ticks every single box that we could possibly want and he&rsquo;s quite a nice chap, too,&rdquo; May says.</p>
<p>Lambert, who earlier this year put out &ldquo;High Drama,&rdquo; an album of covers from such hitmakers as Duran Duran, Bonnie Tyler and Culture Club, says he always tries to keep Mercury at the forefront.</p>
<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no replacing Freddie Mercury. That&rsquo;s impossible. And so I think we&rsquo;ve made it a real priority to sort of honor him every night, every show we do. It&rsquo;s a celebration that includes Freddie. And I think the audience feel that,&rdquo; he says.</p>
<p>As for his knighthood, May jokes his bandmates need to adjust to a new reality.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I have the sword now,&rdquo; he says, laughing. &ldquo;They have to be much more respectful.&rdquo;</p>

<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/MZzW6pc/121231-12.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit: </strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Originally Persian, Bastani is a Middle Eastern ice cream. Made from eggs, sugar, rosewater, vanilla, pistachio, milk, and saffron, and has a sorbet texture.</p>
<p>During the Persian empire, this dish was sweetened with honey and chilled in the snow.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Doum</span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="https://i.ibb.co/qCY8Jfz/121231-13.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Doum comes from a tree found in Africa and upper Egypt and has many medical benefits.</p>
<p>It is known that Doum juice treats stress, cools the body, and improves digestion.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Kolak</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/371cC5n/121231-14.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Kolak is an Indonesian dessert that is the highlight of Indonesian Iftar parties. This sweet dish is made of coconut milk, palm sugar, bananas, and sweet potatoes.</p>
<p>Not only is this sweet dish a sugary delicacy, but it is also very nutritious because of the bananas and sweet potatoes in it, which makes it a quintessential Ramadan dessert.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Nishalo</strong></span></p>
<p>Nishallo is a traditional Ramadan dessert in Uzbekistan and neighboring Central Asian countries.</p>
<p>The sweet dish is made of sugar, whipped egg whites, water, and licorice roots. This dessert is eaten with naan bread and is suitable for Iftar because its high sugar content boosts energy levels and it is very light and fluffy, therefore it is not heavy on the stomach</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Layali lebnan</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/d77S7xj/121231-15.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="600" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Lebanese nights or Layali Lebnan is a Lebanese semolina pudding often flavored with orange blossom, rose, and vanilla.</p>
<p>Layali lebnan is topped with a thick layer of whipped cream and crunchy pistachios. It can be garnished with fruits such as cherries and strawberries.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Abri</strong></span></p>
<p>It is one of the main drinks on a Sudanese table, as it gets prepared even before the start of Ramadan. It is made of white corn sprayed with water until it blossoms then left under the sun. Corn is then minced and mixed with sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger. It is mixed and left for fermentation and subsequently shaped into circular slices heated on stoves and put away until Ramadan. It helps those who are fasting resist thirst.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Qamar Al Din</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/YynYgx8/121231-16.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>It is said that the origin of Qamar Al Din dates back to 1400 AH in Syria which was famous for making it. It is believed that Al Waleed bin Abdel Malik, the Umayyad caliph, used to order the drink to be distributed to the people to celebrate Ramadan.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Umm Ali</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/vPp2LwQ/121231-20.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>The dish, which is traced back as far as medieval Egypt, the 1200s is named after the wife of ruler Ezz El Din Aybek who asked all Egypt's cooks and women to compete and come up with the most delicious dessert that they could create in the form of celebration.&nbsp;The cause of celebration at the time varies from story to story.</p>
<p>It has spread to the Arab world with minor variations, such as the addition of orange blossoms or rose water.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Basbousa</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="https://i.ibb.co/PCNfD8j/121231-19.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Its origins go back to the revani of Turkish cuisine, a classic cake from the Ottoman Empire. The Arabic name stems from the verb &ldquo;bas&rdquo;, meaning blend, as basbousa is prepared by blending semolina flour with margarine.<br />revani was baked for the first time by Ottoman pastry chefs to celebrate a conquest in the sixteenth century.<br />Also known as harissah and namoura, basbousa is available in every corner of the Arab world from North Africa and the Levant to the Gulf.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Kunafa</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Ws1kYrP/121231-18.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="600" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>Sweet, rich, crunchy, and creamy, Kunafa has it all. A mouth-watering and hearty dessert with numerous traditional variations, Kunafa&rsquo;s origins are purely Arabic, not Turkish as many think.</p>
<p>It was first served in Ramadan during the Umayyad dynasty when the Caliph Muawiyah ordered his cook to prepare a rich dish to help him endure the fast.</p>
<p>Kunafah is made of thin, noodle-like dough, which is layered in a tray with a filling of either stretchy cheese such as Nabulsi, clotted cream, or just toasted nuts and raisins. The top and bottom are crunchy on the outside thanks to pan-frying or baking.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Baklava</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://i.ibb.co/0mzhXJh/121231-17.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong>Shutterstock</p>
<p>historians differ on the origin of this dish and whether it emerged from the Turkish or Greek culture.</p>
<p>It is said that Turkey learned about the dish for the first time during the time of Mohamed the fourth. It was said that he loved his wife and wouldn't eat food made by anyone but her, so she invented a new dish for him, which was &ldquo;baklava,&rdquo; and when he tasted it for the first time, he said it was not like anything he has tasted before, so the name was then used.</p>

<p>Maram also spoke about how this edition of the summit is different saying, &ldquo;RiseUp Summit is actually the largest entrepreneurship event in Africa and the middle east, so there are so many things happening simultaneously at the same time from talks, workshops, and this year we&rsquo;re introducing something called &ldquo;Speaker Circles&rdquo; where you can actually be sitting in a circle and interacting directly with some of the top speakers, from the top companies worldwide&rdquo;. Then she added, &ldquo;And how to make the best out of this is simply go to the website <a href="https://www.riseupsummit.com/home">www.riseupsummit.com</a>, and you can find the agenda in there, and see all the topics, all the speakers, be prepared one step ahead to see what&rsquo;s most interesting in which days&rdquo;.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Significance of RiseUp Summit</strong></span></p>
<p>She also elaborated on the significance of the event, saying &ldquo;The entire purpose of this event is connecting startups with the most relevant resources from funds, investment, knowledge, markets, and introducing them to different people who could be interested in their products, however, how we do that is through people talking on 3 different stages, on 3 different topics like capital, technology, and the creative sector as well&hellip;we have more than 250 speakers coming, and we&rsquo;re expecting this year 40000 attendees. Anyone literally can attend RiseUp, not just entrepreneurs who are interested in connecting their startups with relevant resources, but anyone who is willing to have some eye-opening experience&rdquo;.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The 3-Day Experience</strong></span></p>
<p>When she was asked if people should come all 3 days of the event, she answered, &ldquo;Ideally, yes. It&rsquo;s not obligatory that you should come all 3 days, but it&rsquo;s best experienced if you come all 3 days because there&rsquo;s so much happening, and so much you could learn from. There&rsquo;s also one very interesting feature we&rsquo;re introducing this year, which is talent matchmaking for all the people who are looking for jobs in startups. We&rsquo;re actually opening all vacancies of the startups that are exhibiting in RiseUp, so more than 100 startups, plus also all the partners and sponsors of RiseUp Summit will be opening their jobs and people can easily check them out and apply, also the link for applying for these jobs is available on the website&rdquo;.</p>

<p>The Chief of Staff at RiseUp Summit also talked about how the event is not limited to entrepreneurs and startups but anyone who is interested in attending, saying&rdquo; RiseUp Summit is basically targeted at everyone who is interested in entrepreneurship and the startup world, but aside from that, more or less literally everyone who is interested in getting acquainted with what is up and new with technology, of course, the creative industry from art, culture, design and all the different branches of the creative industry, and media who can also promote their businesses and spread the word about it. While it&rsquo;s mainly focused on startups and entrepreneurs, it&rsquo;s open for everyone to attend&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Take Your Idea To The Next Level At RiseUp Summit</strong></span></p>
<p>Maram Ayman shared with Nile FM how can someone with an idea for a startup benefit from the summit, saying, &ldquo;Whatever your idea is you could find someone relevant that you could talk to afterward and get their advice on your project, and there are also different entities who are accelerators and venture capital funds, like people who are interested in investing and growing such ideas that you could also meet and talk to&hellip;We have more than 100 startups exhibiting at the RiseUp Summit, so you could also talk to people who already have startups now, and know about their challenges, journey, and how they grow their startup to that level so far&rdquo;.</p>

<p>Adam commented on how diverse his acting career has been with his characters varying drastically from &ldquo;Newton&rsquo;s Cradle&rdquo; to &ldquo;Magnoon Beek&rdquo; to &ldquo;Monaataf Khatar&rdquo;, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot of scripts that come up&hellip; I look for what&rsquo;s the best step for me, what&rsquo;s next for me, and then try to position myself as best as possible...I&rsquo;m at a stage in my career, it would be better for me to position myself next to big stars like Youssra and Asser Yassin&hellip; just because they already got so much history&rdquo;.</p>
<p>El Sharkawy discussed his role in &ldquo;Monaataf Khatar&rdquo;, &ldquo;It was a cool experience, I really liked the script, and the director had fresh ideas&hellip; As a director, I loved that he was able &hellip; to do what he wanted to do&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amun Starr introduced herself, saying, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a recording artist who loves to travel and explore cultures, energy, frequencies", and when she was asked why did she pick Amun Starr as her name, she replied &ldquo;Actually, it came to me, I think I was searching for a name for a long time to label myself. and when I visited the pyramids it came to me that I would call myself Amun Starr&rdquo; She continued, &ldquo;it started to make sense in my life, of all the things I&rsquo;ve done, and who I am today&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Starr also talked about her first experience visiting the pyramids, saying &ldquo;my first experience was like a coming home feeling, I was really surprised by it cause I didn&rsquo;t know that I even liked Egypt&hellip;There was something very homecoming about it, even the way I was welcomed, all the tourists were treated so well but there was something a little special when I was there, and that made me come back again and again&rdquo;.</p>

<p>The award-winning artist also talked about shooting a music video inside the pyramid saying, &ldquo;Breathing was very difficult inside the pyramid, and it was very dark&rdquo;, however, she said that she entered the pyramid almost 60 times, and one of those times she stayed for 30 minutes, it was terrifying in the beginning, but after a while, she started to enjoy it.</p>
<p>She also mentioned her plans to have a live concert at the pyramids saying, &ldquo;Of course, I&rsquo;m gonna have a live concert at the pyramids&rdquo; and she said that it is scheduled to take place this year.</p>
<p>When Starr was asked if she visited the sea in Egypt since she is originally from California, she said that she did and that Dahab is her favorite place to visit, she also opened up about the most inspirational places that she went to in Egypt saying, &ldquo;Each temple has its own energy, but I love Dahshur&rdquo;.</p>

<p>BERLIN (AP) &mdash;&nbsp;King Charles III&nbsp;arrived in Berlin on Wednesday for his first foreign trip as Britain&rsquo;s monarch, hoping to improve the U.K.&rsquo;s relations with the European Union and show he can win hearts and minds abroad, just as his mother did for seven decades.</p>
<p>Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, landed at Berlin&rsquo;s government airport in the early afternoon. The king, dressed in a black coat, and his wife, in a light blue coat and a feather-trimmed teal hat worn at a jaunty angle, paused at the top of their plane&rsquo;s stairs to receive a 21-gun salute as two military jets performed a flyover.</p>
<p>The royal couple said in a joint statement, released on their official Twitter account, that it was a &ldquo;great joy&rdquo; to be able to develop the &ldquo;longstanding friendship between our two nations.&rdquo;</p>
<p>An hour later, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Buedenbender, welcomed them with military honors at the German capital&rsquo;s historic Brandenburg Gate.</p>
<p>Soldiers hoisted the British and German flags as the national anthems were played. Steinmeier and Charles then strolled past the cheering, flag-waving crowd, shaking hands and chatting briefly with people.</p>

<p>Some took close-up pictures on their phones as Charles and Camilla approached, while others gave them flower bouquets. One woman handed Charles a gift bag. Journalists and security personnel trailed the royal couple and their German hosts as they made their way back to their motorcade.</p>
<p>Charles, 74, who ascended the throne after the&nbsp;death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, is set to be&nbsp;crowned on May 6. As Britain&rsquo;s head of state, the king meets weekly with the prime minister and retains his mother&rsquo;s role as leader of the Commonwealth.</p>
<p>He had initially planned to visit France before heading to Germany, but&nbsp;the first leg of his trip was canceled&nbsp;due to massive protests over the French government&rsquo;s efforts to raise the country&rsquo;s retirement age by two years.</p>
<p>Billed as a multi-day tour of the EU&rsquo;s two biggest countries, the trip was designed to underscore British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak&rsquo;s efforts to&nbsp;rebuild relations with the bloc&nbsp;after six years of arguments over Brexit and highlight the countries&rsquo; shared history as they work together to combat&nbsp;Russian aggression in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Now everything rests on Germany, where the king faces the first big test of whether he can be an effective conduit for the &ldquo;soft power&rdquo; the House of Windsor has traditionally wielded, helping Britain pursue its geopolitical goals through the glitz and glamour of a 1,000-year-old monarchy.</p>
<p>Highlighting the diplomatic importance of the trip, Charles was accompanied by Britain&rsquo;s Foreign Secretary, James Cleverley.</p>
<p>Charles, a former naval officer who is the first British monarch to earn a university degree, is expected to insert heft where his glamorous mother once wielded star power.</p>
<p>During an afternoon reception and again at a white tie evening banquet at Palace Bellevue, the German president&rsquo;s official residence, Steinmeier remarked on the significance of Charles&rsquo;s first visit taking him to Berlin, calling it &ldquo;a wonderful personal gesture and at the same time an important sign for German-British relations.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Steinmeier noted that Britain began the tortuous process of leaving the EU on March 29, 2017.</p>

(Wolfgang Rattay/Pool via AP)</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;For me personally, this was a sad day,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Today, exactly six years later, we open a new chapter.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Steinmeier paid tribute to Charles&rsquo; mother Elizabeth, stressing how much she had done to foster German-British ties.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Your family stands for continuity, for stability, particularly in times of change,&rdquo; he said, noting that Charles, too, had visited Germany more than 40 times as a prince.</p>
<p>It was a subject picked up by Charles, who said the countries&rsquo; friendship was of great importance to his mother, who enjoyed immense popularity in Germany.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The relationship between Germany and the United Kingdom matters greatly to me too,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I am more convinced than ever of its enduring value to us all.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It means so much to us that my wife and I could come to Germany for this very first overseas tour of my reign,&rdquo; said Charles. &ldquo;I can only assure you that throughout the time that is granted to me as King, I will do all I can to strengthen the connections between us.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Switching from English to near-flawless German, Charles insisted: &ldquo;Our ties will become even stronger, I&rsquo;m convinced of that, if we work together for a sustainable future in prosperity and security.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The banquet was attended by guests including former Chancellor Angela Merkel and scientist Ozlem Tureci, who co-founded the German company BioNTech that developed the first widely approved coronavirus vaccine.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the king is scheduled to give a speech to the Bundestag, Germany&rsquo;s parliament. He will also meet Chancellor Olaf Scholz,&nbsp;talk to Ukrainian refugees,&nbsp;and meet with British and Germany military personnel who are working together on joint projects. In the afternoon he will visit an organic farm outside of Berlin.</p>
<p>The royal couple plan to go to Hamburg on Friday, where they will visit the&nbsp;Kindertransport&nbsp;memorial for Jewish children who fled from Germany to Britain during the Third Reich, and attend a green energy event before returning to the U.K.</p>
<p>The king was urged to make the trip by Sunak, who during his first six months in office negotiated a&nbsp;settlement to the long-running dispute over post-Brexit trading rules for Northern Ireland&nbsp;and&nbsp;reached a deal with France to combat the people smugglers&nbsp;ferrying migrants across the English Channel in small boats. Sunak hopes goodwill created by a royal visit can help pave the way for progress on other issues, including Britain&rsquo;s return to an EU program that funds scientific research across Europe.</p>
<p>Britain&rsquo;s senior royals are among the most recognizable people on the planet. While their formal powers are strictly limited by law and tradition, they draw attention from the media and the public partly because of the historic ceremonies and regalia that accompany them &mdash; and also because the public is fascinated by their personal lives.</p>
<p>Elizabeth&rsquo;s influence stemmed in part from the fact that she made more than 100 state visits during her 70 years on the throne, meeting presidents and prime ministers around the world in a reign that lasted from the Cold War to the information age.</p>
<p>Politicians were eager to meet the monarch for tea, if for no other reason than she&rsquo;d been around so long.</p>

<p>SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO, Argentina (AP) &mdash; Lionel Messi scored a hat trick and surpassed 100 career goals for Argentina with three in the first half of Tuesday&rsquo;s international friendly against Curacao. The World Cup winners beat the Caribbean side 7-0 in their second match since clinching the trophy in December.</p>
<p>The 35-year-old Messi opened the scoring against Curacao in the 20th minute with a right-foot shot from the edge of the box to reach the 100-goal milestone. Nico Gonzalez added another three minutes later with a header from close range.</p>
<p>Messi then scored his 101st for Argentina in the 33rd minute with a crossed shot to the right of the goalkeeper and his 102nd in the 37th after an easy run to score. Two minutes earlier he had assisted Enzo Fernandez&rsquo; blast from the edge of the box.</p>
<p>The Argentine captain trails only two players on the list of most goals scored for national teams in official matches; Portugal&rsquo;s Cristiano Ronaldo, with 122, and Iran&rsquo;s Ali Daei, with 109.</p>

<p>Egypt increased their score to 9 points to top Group D, while Guinea came second with the same score, followed by Ethiopia third with 3 points, and Malawi fourth and last with also 3 points.</p>
<p>It's worth noting that the Egyptian team won the previous round against Malawi 2-0.</p>

<p>In an effort to achieve the resolutions that were passed during the COP27 UN Climate Change Conference in Sharm El Sheikh, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced recently that Luxor will host a climate conference entitled &ldquo;The loss and damage climate conference&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The loss and damage climate conference is part of the lead-up to COP 28, which will take place in the UAE next November.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s worth mentioning that COP 27 took place in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt last November, and it discussed various issues such as establishing a dedicated fund for loss and damage, maintaining a clear intention to keep 1.5&deg;C within reach, and mobilizing more financial support for developing countries.</p>

<p>Attorneys are expected to call Polly Grasham and Shae Herath to the stand and question them about the broken ribs and lasting brain damage that their father Terry Sanderson claims he sustained after he and Paltrow crashed at one of North America&rsquo;s most upscale ski resorts seven years ago.</p>
<p>Neurologist Richard Boehme and Paltrow herself could also be called to testify on either Thursday or Friday.</p>
<p>Sanderson is suing Paltrow for $300,000, claiming she recklessly crashed into him while the two were skiing on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. In a counterclaim, Paltrow is seeking $1 and attorney fees. The amount of money at stake for both sides pales in comparison to the typical legal costs of a multiyear lawsuit and expert witness-heavy trial.</p>

<p><br />During the first two days of trial, Sanderson&rsquo;s attorneys and expert medical witnesses have described how injuries were likely caused by someone crashing into him from behind. They attributed noticeable changes in Sanderson&rsquo;s mental acuity to that day&rsquo;s injuries.</p>
<p>Paltrow&rsquo;s attorneys have worked to paint Sanderson as a 76-year-old whose decline followed a normal course of aging rather than resulted from crashing into their celebrity client. They have not yet called witnesses of their own to testify, but in opening statements previewed for jurors that they plan to call Paltrow&rsquo;s husband Brad Falchuk and her two children, Moses and Apple.</p>
<p>They have thus far attempted to poke holes in testimony from Sanderson&rsquo;s team of experts and are expected to question his two daughters about their father mentioning Paltrow&rsquo;s fame and an email alluding to footage recorded on a Go Pro camera that hasn&rsquo;t been found or included in evidence. Her team has previously accused Sanderson of suing to exploit Paltrow&rsquo;s wealth and celebrity. She is the Oscar-winning star of &ldquo;Shakespeare in Love&rdquo; and founder-CEO of the beauty and wellness company Goop.</p>

In March 2023, Bad Bunny&rsquo;s ex&ndash;girlfriend is suing the superstar for at least $40 million over a well-known voice recording she provided the singer before he became famous. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)</em></p>
<p>SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) &mdash; Bad Bunny&rsquo;s ex&ndash;girlfriend is suing the superstar for at least $40 million over a well-known voice recording she provided the singer before he became famous.</p>
<p>Carliz De La Cruz Hern&aacute;ndez, whose breathy &ldquo;Bad Bunny, baby&rdquo; recording was included in two of the artist&rsquo;s songs, claimed in a lawsuit filed this month in a Puerto Rico court that her voice and the phrase she came up with are being used without her permission.</p>
<p>The lawsuit, which was first reported by online Puerto Rico news site Noticel, notes that the phrase was used in the &ldquo;Pa Ti,&rdquo; song, which has more than 355 million views on YouTube and more than 235 million reproductions on Spotify. It also was used in the &ldquo;Dos Mil 16&rdquo; song, which has more than 60 million views on YouTube and 280 million reproductions on Spotify.</p>
<p>The lawsuit states that De La Cruz&rsquo;s &ldquo;distinguishable voice&rdquo; also has been used without her consent for songs, records, promotions, worldwide concerts, television, radio and social and musical platforms.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Since then, thousands of people have commented directly on Carliz&rsquo;s social media networks, as well as every time she goes to a public place, about the &lsquo;Bad Bunny, baby.&rsquo; This has caused, and currently causes, that De La Cruz feels worried, anguished, intimidated, overwhelmed and anxious,&rdquo; the lawsuit states.</p>
<p>Also sued is Noah Kamil Assad Byrne, manager for Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Mart&iacute;nez Ocasio.</p>
<p>Assad and representatives of Bad Bunny did not immediately respond to a message for comment.</p>
<p>De La Cruz and Mart&iacute;nez first became a couple in 2011. A year later, they began studying at the University of Puerto Rico in the north coastal town of Arecibo while also working at a nearby grocery store. The lawsuit stated that during that time, Mart&iacute;nez was constantly creating songs and rhythms and would seek opinions from De La Cruz, who also was in charge of scheduling his parties and handling invoices and contracts.</p>
<p>The birth of the phrase, &ldquo;Bad Bunny, baby,&rdquo; came about in 2015, and Mart&iacute;nez asked De La Cruz to record herself saying it. She did so in a bathroom one day while staying with a friend because that&rsquo;s where it was least noisy and then sent it to him, the lawsuit stated.</p>
<p>On Jan. 1, 2016, Mart&iacute;nez asked De La Cruz to marry him, and they made plans to do so in July 2016. But in April 2016, Rimas Entertainment signed Mart&iacute;nez. That same year, De La Cruz was accepted into the University of Puerto Rico&rsquo;s law school, and she ended her relationship with Mart&iacute;nez in May 2016.</p>
<p>They got back together in 2017, but once again went their separate paths.</p>
<p>Then in May 2022, a Bad Bunny representative reached out to De La Cruz, saying he needed to talk to her.</p>
<p>&ldquo;In that call, (the representative) said, &rsquo;I know you don&rsquo;t like to talk about Voldemort (referring to Mart&iacute;nez), but I need to ask you something,&rdquo; the lawsuit stated.</p>
<p>He offered her $2,000 to buy the recording of her voice. De La Cruz declined and then spoke with someone at Rimas Entertainment who also offered to buy it, saying the recording would be used in the upcoming album, &ldquo;Un Verano Sin Ti,&rdquo; the lawsuit stated.</p>
<p>But a deal was never reached, and the song was published without De La Cruz&rsquo;s consent, according to the lawsuit.</p>

Morocco Defeats The Five-Time World Cup Winners Brazil 2-1 In A Friendly Match

(AP Photo/Bernat Armangue)</em></p>
<p>MADRID (AP) &mdash; There was no historic comeback for Liverpool. Real Madrid&rsquo;s title defense in the Champions League rolls into the quarterfinals.</p>
<p>Liverpool never really came close to overcoming its three-goal deficit from the first leg against the titleholders at the Santiago Bernab&eacute;u Stadium on Wednesday, losing 1-0 to end its hopes of another run to the final.</p>
<p>Karim Benzema scored late and Madrid advanced to the last eight for the third straight season with a 6-2 aggregate score following a&nbsp;5-2 win&nbsp;from the first leg in England, when it rallied from two goals down early in the first half.</p>
<p>Liverpool was trying to pull off something never done before in the Champions League &mdash; erase a three-goal loss as a visitor. Only five times the team that lost at home rallied in the second leg in Europe&rsquo;s top club competition.</p>
<p>&ldquo;You needed a special performance and we didn&rsquo;t show a special performance,&rdquo; Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said. &ldquo;In moments, it was a good performance, but Real Madrid was the team in control the whole game. Madrid was the better team and deserved to advance.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The only time Madrid failed to advance in the Champions League after winning the first leg on the road was in 2019, when it was eliminated by Ajax in the round of 16. It had won six of its last seven matches against Liverpool in the tournament, drawing another.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It was the type of match we wanted,&rdquo; Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. &ldquo;It was difficult for them to press up front. The team played well, it was focused from the start.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Napoli defeated Eintracht Frankfurt&nbsp;3-0 in the other round-of-16 match on Wednesday to join Madrid, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Manchester City in the draw for the quarterfinals on Friday.</p>
<p>Benzema scored from close range after a pass by Vin&iacute;cius J&uacute;nior in the 79th minute. The France striker, who had missed Madrid&rsquo;s Spanish league win against Espanyol last weekend because of an injury, has scored 13 goals in his last eight Champions League knockout stage matches. He limped during the goal celebration but said afterward it was just a knock.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It was a complicated match, against a good opponent,&rdquo; Benzema said. &ldquo;We showed from the start that we wanted to attack, so it was a good match for the fans and we are into the quarterfinals.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Liverpool came out with an attack-minded lineup and showed its intentions early, with Darwin N&uacute;&ntilde;ez forcing Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to make a tough save on a breakaway seven minutes into the match.</p>
<p>It was an open match at the Bernab&eacute;u and Madrid had its chances as well, with Eduardo Camavinga coming close to scoring in the 20th with a shot from outside the area that struck the crossbar after a deflection by Alisson Becker. The Liverpool goalkeeper also stopped a chance by Madrid forward Vin&iacute;cius J&uacute;nior in the first half and another in the second in a one-on-one situation with midfielder Federico Valverde.</p>
<p>Klopp kept trying to push his team forward from the sideline, but as the minutes passed it became clear it wasn&rsquo;t going to be enough for the English team.</p>
<p>Liverpool had managed a big comeback at home in the 2019 semifinals, rallying against another Spanish club, Barcelona. It won 4-0 after losing 3-0 at the Camp Nou to keep alive a run that eventually ended with the team winning the trophy.</p>

<p>Madrid, which had beaten Liverpool in last year&rsquo;s final, played in its 300th Champions League game.</p>
<p>The loudspeakers at the Bernab&eacute;u played Liverpool&rsquo;s &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll Never Walk Alone&rdquo; anthem at the end of the match as fans from both clubs applauded.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We are two heavyweights who meet each other quite frequently in international football and quite clearly we respect each other a lot,&rdquo; Klopp said. &ldquo;It was a really nice gesture, absolutely.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The expanded World Cup in North America got even more supersized on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The governing body of soccer increased the size of the 2026 tournament for the second time &mdash; six years after the first &mdash; by approving a bigger group stage for the inaugural 48-team event.</p>
<p>By retaining groups of four teams instead of moving to three, FIFA has created a 104-game schedule that will last nearly six weeks in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The final is scheduled for July 19.</p>
<p>The 16 host cities &mdash; 11 in the United States, three in Mexico and two in Canada &mdash; now have 24 extra games to stage on top of the 80 they already had for the inaugural 48-team tournament.</p>
<p>Adding about 1.5 million more tickets will also further fuel&nbsp;FIFA&rsquo;s expected record revenue of at least $11 billion&nbsp;through 2026 from a tournament that will rely on using high-revenue NFL stadiums.</p>
<p>FIFA said the decision followed a &ldquo;thorough review that considered sporting integrity, player welfare, team travel, commercial and sporting attractiveness, as well as team and fan experience.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The latest push by FIFA president Gianni Infantino for more games and bigger events in a congested calendar will likely provoke more concern among stakeholders such as domestic leagues and players&rsquo; union FIFPRO. They have long felt isolated from talks on soccer&rsquo;s future.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/41718c7a019e439fb61cf80e3329aaf2/1000.webp" alt="" />&nbsp;<strong>Photo Credit:&nbsp;</strong><em>FIFA president Gianni Infantino poses on the green carpet before the ceremony of the Best FIFA Football Awards in Paris, France, Monday, Feb. 27, 2023. (AP Photo/Michel Euler)</em></p>
<p>The six-week World Cup will start one year after FIFA launches a 32-team Club World Cup, which could also be staged in North America to test tournament logistics. The Champions League in Europe also has a new format with more teams and games in the 2024-25 season.</p>
<p>The new World Cup format will have 12 groups of four teams instead of 16 groups of three, the plan chosen in 2017. Both options were to go to a 32-team knockout round.</p>
<p>The format guarantees every World Cup team will play a minimum of three times instead of two, adding up to a stacked group stage totaling 72 games before arriving at the knockout rounds. The four semifinalists will play eight matches, one more than last year in Qatar.</p>
<p>The entire 2022 World Cup in Qatar amounted to 64 games in the seventh and last edition of the 32-team format. The 1998 World Cup in France was the first with 32 teams.</p>
<p>Increasing the World Cup&rsquo;s lineup was first floated in 2015. It was proposed then as a way to sweeten FIFA&rsquo;s 200-plus member federations into accepting much-needed governance reforms in the wake of American and Swiss investigations of corruption.</p>
<p>After Infantino was elected FIFA president to succeed Sepp Blatter, one of his first big strategic wins was adding 16 teams to the World Cup. Infantino persuaded FIFA colleagues that a 48-team tournament &mdash; with Africa and Asia getting more of the extra places than Europe &mdash; would fuel interest and drive development in countries that rarely or never qualified to play on the biggest stage.</p>
<p>That was despite FIFA&rsquo;s own research in 2016 suggesting that the highest quality soccer was achieved by the 32-team format.</p>
<p>In Qatar, the split-screen drama created by decisive group games played simultaneously helped convince FIFA that four-team groups are better.</p>
<p>There was also concern that scheduling groups of three could lead to match-fixing in a final game between two teams who could both advance to the round of 32.</p>

(AP Photo/Daniel Cole)</em></p>
<p>FIFA has now found an option it said &ldquo;mitigates the risk of collusion&rdquo; and also gifts itself more games to sell.</p>
<p>The extra 24 games should drive up the price of sponsor deals and broadcasting deals not yet signed. However, some key broadcast markets are already signed, including in the United States, Brazil and the Middle East.</p>
<p>The 2026 World Cup was already set to earn up to $3 billion in ticket and hospitality sales for FIFA, and massively increase the tournament attendance record. That record was set in the United States in 1994 when 3.6 million spectators attended 52 games in a 24-team event.</p>
<p>One downside of the 48-team format is the unbalanced nature of the 32 teams that will advance.</p>
<p>Eight of the 12 third-place teams will move on, creating uncertainty for some teams placing third in a group not knowing if they will advance until matches are completed days later.</p>
<p>FIFA also explained how teams will enter the 2025 Club World Cup, including continental champions in each season from 2021-24. That means Chelsea, Real Madrid, Palmeiras, Flamengo and Seattle Sounders already secured their places.</p>
<p>Europe&rsquo;s 12 entries can also be decided by a ranking system based on the same four-year period, with a cap of two teams per country advancing with exemptions for continental champions.</p>
<p>FIFA also plans to create another new competition starting annually in 2024 for continental champions. The Champions League winner in Europe will play the winner of playoffs featuring the other continental champions.</p>

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File)</em><br />&nbsp;<br />ROME (AP) &mdash; Italy is temporarily blocking the artificial intelligence software ChatGPT in the wake of a data breach as it investigates a possible violation of stringent European Union data protection rules, the government&rsquo;s privacy watchdog said Friday.</p>
<p>The Italian Data Protection Authority said it was taking provisional action &ldquo;until ChatGPT respects privacy,&rdquo; including temporarily limiting the company from processing Italian users&rsquo; data.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">We are adding support for plugins to ChatGPT &mdash; extensions which integrate it with third-party services or allow it to access up-to-date information.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>U.S.-based OpenAI, which developed the chatbot, said late Friday night it has disabled ChatGPT for Italian users at the government&rsquo;s request. The company said it believes its practices comply with European privacy laws and hopes to make ChatGPT available again soon.</p>
<p>While some public schools and universities around the world have blocked ChatGPT from their local networks over student plagiarism concerns, Italy&rsquo;s action is &ldquo;the first nation-scale restriction of a mainstream AI platform by a democracy,&rdquo; said Alp Toker, director of the advocacy group NetBlocks, which monitors internet access worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />The restriction affects the web version of ChatGPT, popularly used as a writing assistant, but is unlikely to affect software applications from companies that already have licenses with OpenAI to use the same technology driving the chatbot, such as Microsoft&rsquo;s Bing search engine.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><br />The AI systems that power such chatbots, known as large language models, are able to mimic human writing styles based on the huge trove of digital books and online writings they have ingested.</p>
<p>The Italian watchdog said OpenAI must report within 20 days what measures it has taken to ensure the privacy of users&rsquo; data or face a fine of up to either 20 million euros (nearly $22 million) or 4% of annual global revenue.</p>
<p>The agency&rsquo;s statement cites the EU&rsquo;s General Data Protection Regulation and pointed to a recent data breach involving ChatGPT &ldquo;users&rsquo; conversations&rdquo; and information about subscriber payments.</p>
<p>OpenAI earlier announced that it had to take ChatGPT offline on March 20 to fix a bug that allowed some people to see the titles, or subject lines, of other users&rsquo; chat history.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Our investigation has also found that 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus users might have had personal data revealed to another user,&rdquo; the company had said. &ldquo;We believe the number of users whose data was actually revealed to someone else is extremely low and we have contacted those who might be impacted.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Italy&rsquo;s privacy watchdog, known as the Garante, also questioned whether OpenAI had legal justification for its &ldquo;massive collection and processing of personal data&rdquo; used to train the platform&rsquo;s algorithms. And it said ChatGPT can sometimes generate &mdash; and store &mdash; false information about individuals.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">We believe the number of users whose data was actually revealed to someone else is extremely low and we have contacted those who might be impacted.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, it noted there&rsquo;s no system to verify users&rsquo; ages, exposing children to responses &ldquo;absolutely inappropriate to their age and awareness.&rdquo;</p>
<p>OpenAI said in response that it works &ldquo;to reduce personal data in training our AI systems like ChatGPT because we want our AI to learn about the world, not about private individuals.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We also believe that AI regulation is necessary &mdash; so we look forward to working closely with the Garante and educating them on how our systems are built and used,&rdquo; the company said.</p>
<p>The Italian watchdog&rsquo;s move comes as concerns grow about the artificial intelligence boom. A group of scientists and tech industry leaders published a letter Wednesday calling for companies such as OpenAI to pause the development of more powerful AI models until the fall to give time for society to weigh the risks.</p>
<p>The president of Italy&rsquo;s privacy watchdog agency told Italian state TV Friday evening he was one of those who signed the appeal. Pasquale Stanzione said he did so because &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not clear what aims are being pursued&rdquo; ultimately by those developing AI.</p>
<p>If AI should &ldquo;impinge&rdquo; on a person&rsquo;s &ldquo;self-determination&rdquo; then &ldquo;this is very dangerous,&Prime; Stanzione said. He also described the absence of filters for users younger than 13 as &rdquo;rather grave.&rdquo;</p>
<p>San Francisco-based OpenAI&rsquo;s CEO, Sam Altman, announced this week that he&rsquo;s embarking on a six-continent trip in May to talk about the technology with users and developers. That includes a stop planned for Brussels, where European Union lawmakers have been negotiating sweeping new rules to limit high-risk AI tools, as well as visits to Madrid, Munich, London and Paris.</p>
<p>European consumer group BEUC called Thursday for EU authorities and the bloc&rsquo;s 27 member nations to investigate ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots. BEUC said it could be years before the EU&rsquo;s AI legislation takes effect, so authorities need to act faster to protect consumers from possible risks.</p>
<p>&ldquo;In only a few months, we have seen a massive take-up of ChatGPT, and this is only the beginning,&rdquo; Deputy Director General Ursula Pachl said.</p>
<p>Waiting for the EU&rsquo;s AI Act &ldquo;is not good enough as there are serious concerns growing about how ChatGPT and similar chatbots might deceive and manipulate people.&rdquo;</p>

<p>NEW YORK (AP) &mdash; Some parts of Twitter&rsquo;s source code &mdash; the fundamental computer code on which the social network runs &mdash; were leaked online, the social media company said in a legal filing on Sunday that was first reported by The New York Times.</p>
<p>According to the legal document, filed with the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, Twitter had asked GitHub, an internet hosting service for software development, to take down the code where it was posted. The platform complied and said the content had been disabled, according to the filing. Twitter also asked the court to identify the alleged infringer or infringers who posted Twitter&rsquo;s source code on systems operated by GitHub without Twitter&rsquo;s authorization.</p>
<p>Twitter, based in San Francisco, noted in the filing that the postings infringe copyrights held by Twitter.</p>
<p>The leak creates more challenges for billionaire Elon Musk, who bought Twitter&nbsp;last October&nbsp;for $44 billion and took the company private. Since then, it has been engulfed in&nbsp;chaos, with massive layoffs and advertisers fleeing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Meanwhile, the&nbsp;Federal Trade Commission&nbsp;is probing Musk&rsquo;s mass layoffs at Twitter and trying to obtain his internal communications as part of ongoing oversight into the social media company&rsquo;s privacy and cybersecurity practices, according to documents described in a congressional report.</p>

<p>LONDON (AP) &mdash; The company behind the&nbsp;ChatGPT chatbot&nbsp;has rolled out its latest artificial intelligence model, GPT-4, in the next step for a technology that&rsquo;s caught the world&rsquo;s attention.</p>
<p>The new system can figure out tax deductions and&nbsp;answer questions&nbsp;like a Shakespearan pirate, for example, but it still &ldquo;hallucinates&rdquo; facts and makes reasoning errors.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s a look at San Francisco-based startup OpenAI&rsquo;s latest improvement on the generative AI models that can spit out readable text and&nbsp;unique images:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What&rsquo;s New?</strong></span></p>
<p>OpenAI says GPT-4 &ldquo;exhibits human-level performance.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s much more reliable, creative and can handle &ldquo;more nuanced instructions&rdquo; than its predecessor system, GPT-3.5, which ChatGPT was built on, OpenAI&nbsp;said in its announcement.</p>
<p>In an online demo Tuesday, OpenAI President Greg Brockman ran through some scenarios that showed off GPT-4&prime;s capabilities that appeared to show it&rsquo;s a radical improvement on previous versions.</p>
<p>He demonstrated how the system could quickly come up with the proper income tax deduction after being fed reams of tax code &mdash; something he couldn&rsquo;t figure himself.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not perfect, but neither are you. And together it&rsquo;s this amplifying tool that lets you just reach new heights,&rdquo; Brockman said.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Why Does It Matter?&nbsp;</strong></span></p>
<p>Generative AI technology like GPT-4 could be the future of the internet, at least according to Microsoft, which has&nbsp;invested at least $1 billion in OpenAI&nbsp;and made a splash by&nbsp;integrating AI chatbot tech into its Bing browser.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s part of a new generation of machine-learning systems that can converse,&nbsp;generate readable text on demand&nbsp;and produce novel images and video based on what they&rsquo;ve learned from a vast database of digital books and online text.</p>
<p>These new AI breakthroughs have the potential to transform the internet search business long dominated by Google, which is trying to&nbsp;catch up with its own AI chatbot, and numerous professions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;With GPT-4, we are one step closer to life imitating art,&rdquo; said Mirella Lapata, professor of natural language processing at the University of Edinburgh. She referred to the TV show &ldquo;Black Mirror,&rdquo; which focuses on the dark side of technology.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Humans are not fooled by the AI in &lsquo;Black Mirror&rsquo; but they tolerate it,&rdquo; Lapata said. &ldquo;Likewise, GPT-4 is not perfect, but paves the way for AI being used as a commodity tool on a daily basis.&rdquo;</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) &mdash; If you&rsquo;re not told you are fired, are you really fired? At Twitter, probably. And then, sometimes, you get your job back &mdash; if you want it.</p>
<p>Haraldur Thorleifsson, who until recently was employed at Twitter, logged in to his computer last Sunday to do some work &mdash; only to find himself locked out, along with 200 others.</p>
<p>He might have figured, as&nbsp;others before him&nbsp;have in the&nbsp;chaotic months&nbsp;of&nbsp;layoffs&nbsp;and firings since Elon Musk took over the company, that he was out of a job.</p>
<p>Instead, after nine days of no answer from Twitter as to whether or not he was still employed, Thorleifsson decided to tweet at Musk to see if he could catch the billionaire&rsquo;s attention and get an answer to his Schr&ouml;dinger&rsquo;s job situation.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Maybe if enough people retweet you&rsquo;ll answer me here?&rdquo; he wrote on Monday.</p>

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)</em></p>
<p>Eventually, he got his answer after a surreal Twitter exchange with Musk, who proceeded to quiz him about his work, question his disability and need for accommodations (Thorleifsson, who goes by &ldquo;Halli,&rdquo; has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair) and tweet that Thorleifsson has a &ldquo;prominent, active Twitter account and is wealthy&rdquo; and the &ldquo;reason he confronted me in public was to get a big payout.&rdquo; While the exchange was going on, Thorleifsson said he received an email that he was no longer employed.</p>
<p>Late Tuesday afternoon, however, Musk had a change of heart.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful,&rdquo; he tweeted. &ldquo;He is considering remaining at Twitter.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Thorleifsson did not immediately respond to a message for comment following Musk&rsquo;s tweet. In an earlier email, he called the experience &ldquo;surreal.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You had every right to lay me off. But it would have been nice to let me know!&rdquo; he tweeted to Musk.</p>
<p>Thorleifsson, who lives in Iceland, has about 151,000 Twitter followers (Musk has over 130 million). He joined Twitter in 2021, when the company, under the prior management, acquired his startup Ueno.</p>
<p>He was&nbsp;lauded in Icelandic media&nbsp;for choosing to receive the purchase price in wages rather than a lump sum payout. That&rsquo;s because this way, he would pay higher taxes to Iceland in support of its social services and safety net.</p>
<p>Thorleifsson&rsquo;s next move: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m opening a restaurant in downtown Reykjavik very soon,&rdquo; he tweeted. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s named after my mom.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Twitter did not immediately respond to a message for comment.</p>

Elon Musk Apologizes After Mocking Laid-Off Twitter Employee

<p><em><strong>Photo Credit:</strong> A Twitter logo hangs outside the company's offices in San Francisco, on Dec. 19, 2022. Twitter experienced a bevy of glitches Monday, March 6, 2023 as links stopped working, some users were unable to log in and images were not loading for others. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, File)</em><br />&nbsp;<br />SAN FRANCISCO (AP) &mdash; Twitter experienced a bevy of glitches for over an hour Monday as links stopped working, some users were unable to log in and images were not loading for others.</p>
<p>The company, which has experienced an uptick of instability and bugs in recent months after Elon Musk cut its staff sharply,&nbsp;said&nbsp;&ldquo;Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Trying to visit Twitter&rsquo;s help page Monday led to an error message that says &ldquo;Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint&rdquo; and displays a link to a software developer page that also doesn&rsquo;t work.</p>
<p>Musk tweeted Monday: &ldquo;This platform is so brittle (sigh). Will be fixed shortly.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The company tweeted shortly after 10 a.m. Pacific time on Monday that it had addressed the issue.</p>
<p>According to Downdetector, users began reporting the outages shortly before noon U.S. Eastern time. Internet access watchdog NetBlocks said &ldquo;Twitter is currently experiencing international slowdowns and outages affecting many users,&rdquo; and noted that it was also affecting image and video content. Some users were not able to see the images that other users were posting.&nbsp;<br />Twitter engineers and experts have warned that the platform is at an increased risk of fraying since Musk fired most of the people who worked on keeping it running. Last month, a bug left users&nbsp;unable to send tweets.</p>
<p>In November, engineers who left Twitter described for The Associated Press why they expect a bumpy road for Twitter&rsquo;s more than 230 million users now that well over two-thirds of the San Francisco company&rsquo;s pre-Musk core services engineers are gone.</p>
<p>While they don&rsquo;t anticipate near-term collapse, the engineers said Twitter could become very rough at the edges &mdash; especially if Musk makes major changes without much off-platform testing.</p>

Twitter Glitches As Links, Images Fail To Load

<p><em><strong>Photo Credit:</strong> This image released by Sony Interactive Entertainment shows a scene from the video game Gran Turismo Sophy. Grand Turismo players have been competing against computer-driven race cars since the franchise launched in the 1990s, but the new AI driver that was unleashed last week on Grand Turismo 7 is smarter and faster because it's been trained using the latest AI methods. (Sony Interactive Entertainment via AP)</em><br />&nbsp;<br />Speed around a French village in the video game Gran Turismo and you might spot a Corvette behind you trying to catch your slipstream.</p>
<p>The technique of using the&nbsp;draft of an opponent&rsquo;s racecar&nbsp;to speed up and overtake them is one favored by skilled players of PlayStation&rsquo;s realistic racing game.</p>
<p>But this Corvette driver is not being controlled by a human &mdash; it&rsquo;s GT Sophy, a powerful artificial intelligence agent built by PlayStation-maker Sony.</p>
<p>Gran Turismo players have been competing against computer-generated racecars since the franchise launched in the 1990s, but the new AI driver that was unleashed last week on Gran Turismo 7 is smarter and faster because it&rsquo;s been trained using the latest AI methods.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Gran Turismo had a built-in AI existing from the beginning of the game, but it has a very narrow band of performance and it isn&rsquo;t very good,&rdquo; said Michael Spranger, chief operating officer of Sony AI. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s very predictable. Once you get past a certain level, it doesn&rsquo;t really entice you anymore.&rdquo;</p>
<p>But now, he said, &ldquo;this AI is going to put up a fight.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Visit an&nbsp;artificial intelligence laboratory&nbsp;at universities and companies like Sony, Google, Meta, Microsoft and&nbsp;ChatGPT-maker OpenAI&nbsp;and it&rsquo;s not unusual to find AI agents like Sophy racing cars, slinging angry birds at pigs, fighting epic interstellar battles or helping human gamers build new Minecraft worlds -- all part of the job description for computer systems trying to learn how to get smarter in games.</p>
<p><br />But in some instances, they are also trying to learn how to get smarter in the real world. In a January paper, a University of Cambridge researcher who built an AI agent to control Pok&eacute;mon characters argued it could &ldquo;inspire all sorts of applications that require team management under conditions of extreme uncertainty, including managing a team of doctors, robots or employees in an ever-changing environment, like a pandemic-stricken region or a war zone.&rdquo;</p>
<p>And while that might sound like a kid making a case for playing three more hours of&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon Violet, the study of games has been used to advance AI research &mdash; and train computers to solve complex problems &mdash; since the mid-20th century.</p>
<p>Initially, AI was used on games like checkers and chess to test at winning strategy games. Now a new branch of research is more focused on performing open-ended tasks in complex worlds and interacting with humans, not just for the purpose of beating them.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Reality is like a super-complicated game,&rdquo; said Nicholas Sarantinos, who authored the Pok&eacute;mon paper and recently turned down a doctoral offer at Oxford University to start an AI company aiming to help corporate workplaces set up more collaborative teams.</p>
<p>In the web-based Pok&eacute;mon Showdown battle simulator, Sarantinos developed an algorithm to analyze a team of six Pok&eacute;mon &mdash; predicting how they would perform based on all the possible battle scenarios ahead of them and their comparative strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>Microsoft, which owns the popular Minecraft game franchise as well as the Xbox game system, has tasked AI agents with a variety of activities &mdash; from steering clear of lava to chopping trees and making furnaces. Researchers hope some of their learnings could eventually play a role in real-world technology, such as how to get a home robot to take on certain chores without having to program it to do so.</p>
<p>While it &rdquo;goes without stating&rdquo; that real humans behave quite differently from fictional video game creatures, &ldquo;the core ideas can still be used,&rdquo; Sarantinos said. &ldquo;If you use psychology tests, you can take this information to conclude how well they can work together.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Amy Hoover, an assistant professor of informatics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology who&rsquo;s built algorithms for the digital card game Hearthstone, said &ldquo;there really is a reason for studying games&rdquo; but it is not always easy to explain.</p>
<p>&ldquo;People aren&rsquo;t always understanding that the point is about the optimization method rather than the game,&rdquo; she said.</p>
<p>Games also offer a useful testbed for AI &mdash; including for some real-world applications in robotics or health care &mdash; that&rsquo;s safer to try in a virtual world, said Vanessa Volz, an AI researcher at the Danish startup Modl.ai, which builds AI systems for game development.</p>
<p>But, she adds, &ldquo;it can get overhyped.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s probably not going to be one big breakthrough and that everything is going to be shifted to the real world,&rdquo; Volz said.</p>
<p>Japanese electronics giant Sony launched its own AI research division in 2020 with entertainment in mind, but it&rsquo;s nonetheless attracted broader academic attention.&nbsp;Its research paper&nbsp;introducing Sophy last year made it on the cover of the prestigious science journal Nature, which said it could potentially have effects on other applications such as drones and&nbsp;self-driving vehicles.</p>
<p>The technology behind Sophy is based on an algorithmic method known as reinforcement learning, which trains the system by rewarding it when it gets something right as it runs virtual races thousands of times.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The reward is going to tell you that, &lsquo;You&rsquo;re making progress. This is good,&rsquo; or, &lsquo;You&rsquo;re off the track. Well, that&rsquo;s not good,&rsquo;&rdquo; Spranger said.</p>
<p>The world&rsquo;s best Gran Turismo players are still finishing ahead of Sophy at tournaments, but average players will find it hard to beat &mdash; and can adjust difficulty settings depending on how much they want to be challenged.</p>
<p>PlayStation players will only get to try racing against Sophy until March 31, on a limited number of circuits, so it can get some feedback and go back into testing. Peter Wurman, director of Sony AI America and project lead on GT Sophy, said it takes about two weeks for AI agents to train on 20 PlayStations.</p>
<p>&ldquo;To get it spread throughout the whole game, it takes some more breakthroughs and some more time before we&rsquo;re ready for that,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>And to get it onto real streets or Formula One tracks? That could take a lot longer.</p>
<p>Self-driving car companies&nbsp;adopt similar machine-learning techniques, but &ldquo;they don&rsquo;t hand over complete control of the car the way we are able to,&rdquo; Wurman said. &ldquo;In a simulated world, there&rsquo;s nobody&rsquo;s life at risk. You know exactly the kinds of things you&rsquo;re going to see in the environment. There&rsquo;s no people crossing the road or anything like that.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;SpongeBob Square Pants: The Cosmic Shake&rdquo; is an ambitious 3D platform videogame that follows everyone&rsquo;s favorite fry cook, SpongeBob. The game consists of complex level design, various platforming techniques and a charming cast that enhances the gameplay for the players.</p>
<p>The story follows the cheerful Sponge and his starfish best friend, Patrick, who together accidentally rip apart the fabric of space and time itself, leading to the opening of eight different portals that contain their friends who needs saving. So, the duo embarks on a long journey to save everyone and bring them back to the safety of Bikini Bottom.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FNintendoSwitch%2Fvideos%2F798985258085483%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Gameplay</strong></p>
<p>SpongeBob and Patrick have to explore each world, which includes super cool yet comprehensible platforming techniques, some thought-provoking puzzles, punching some monsters, and hopefully saving the day.</p>
<p><strong>The Characters</strong></p>
<p>One of the coolest fun facts about the game is that the cast's vocal performances are made by the original cast, which evokes nostalgia.</p>
<p>The game offers various ways to have fun like, seeing Mr Krabs as a western bandito or Pearl as a medieval fantasy Princess or Sandy as a ninja.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTHQNordic%2Fvideos%2F747900013426271%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Setting</strong></p>
<p>The worlds that the characters visit are far more expansive and variant with a different color palette, set of enemies, and even a different soundtrack. There is a pirate-themed realm, a Hollywood movie-set theme one, a cave-man-kind-of world, and a Halloween-themed portal. This type of variation offers very exciting gameplay for gamers as the game regularly offers something new and fun!</p>
<p><strong>The Writing</strong></p>
<p>Just like any SpongeBob project, this game is filled to the brim with &ldquo;SpongeBob&rdquo; humor, topped with silly gags and jokes that leaves people of all ages laughing hysterically.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Twitter may not be working as expected for some of you. Sorry for the trouble. We&rsquo;re aware and working to get this fixed,&rdquo; the company tweeted from its &ldquo;support&rdquo; account.</p>
<p>Further details were unavailable Wednesday and an email seeking comment from the company&rsquo;s press account went unanswered. Twitter has dissolved its media relations team.</p>
<p>Users first noticed the problem when they tried to send tweets and received a message saying they had reached their &ldquo;tweet limit.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While Twitter has for years limited the number of tweets an account can send, it is 2,400 per day &mdash; or 100 an hour &mdash; far more than most regular, human-run accounts send on the platform.</p>
<p>Users also had trouble when they tried to follow another Twitter user, getting a message &ldquo;You are unable to follow more people at this time&rdquo; with a link to the company&rsquo;s&nbsp;policy on follow limits.</p>
<p>Twitter&rsquo;s long-standing limit on how many accounts a single user can follow in a single day is 400 &mdash; again, more than a regular Twitter user would generally reach on any given day.</p>

Twitter Scrambles To Fix Meltdown As Many Unable To Tweet

Bard initially will be available exclusively to a group of &ldquo;trusted testers" before being widely released later in the year, according to a Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, blog post from Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

<p>Google is girding for a battle of wits in the field of artificial intelligence with &ldquo;Bard,&rdquo; a conversational service apparently aimed at countering the popularity of the ChatGPT tool backed by Microsoft.</p>
<p>Bard initially will be available exclusively to a group of &ldquo;trusted testers&rdquo; before being widely released later this year, according&nbsp;to a Monday blog post&nbsp;from Google CEO Sundar Pichai.</p>
<p>Google&rsquo;s chatbot is supposed to be able to explain complex subjects such as outer space discoveries in terms simple enough for a child to understand. It also claims the service will also perform other more mundane tasks, such as providing tips for planning a party, or lunch ideas based on what food is left in a refrigerator. Pichai didn&rsquo;t say in his post whether Bard will be able to write prose in the vein of William Shakespeare, the playwright who apparently inspired the service&rsquo;s name.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Bard can be an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity,&rdquo; Pichai wrote</p>
<p>Google announced Bard&rsquo;s existence less than two weeks after Microsoft disclosed it&rsquo;s&nbsp;pouring billions of dollars&nbsp;into OpenAI, the San Francisco-based maker of ChatGPT and other tools that can write readable text and generate new images.</p>
<p>Microsoft&rsquo;s decision to up the ante on a $1 billion investment that it previously made in OpenAI in 2019&nbsp;intensified the pressure on Google&nbsp;to demonstrate that it will be able to keep pace in a field of technology that many analysts believe will be as transformational as personal computers, the internet and smartphones have been in various stages over the past 40 years.</p>
<p>In a&nbsp;report last week, CNBC said a team of Google engineers working on artificial intelligence technology &ldquo;has been asked to prioritize working on a response to ChatGPT.&rdquo; Bard had been a service being developed under a project called &ldquo;Atlas,&rdquo; as part of Google&rsquo;s &ldquo;code red&rdquo; effort to counter the success of ChatGPT, which has attracted tens of millions of users since its general release late last year,&nbsp;while also raising concerns in schools&nbsp;about its ability to write entire essays for students.</p>
<p>Pichai has been emphasizing the importance of artificial intelligence for the past six years, with one of the most visible byproducts materializing in 2021 as part of a system called &ldquo;Language Model for Dialogue Applications,&rdquo; or LaMDA, which will be used to power Bard.</p>
<p>Google also plans to begin incorporating LaMDA and other artificial intelligence advancements into its dominant search engine to provide more helpful answers to the increasingly complicated questions being posed by its billion of users. Without providing a specific timeline, Pichai indicated the artificial intelligence tools will be deployed in Google&rsquo;s search in the near future.</p>
<p>In another sign of Google&rsquo;s deepening commitment to the field, Google announced last week that it is investing in and partnering with Anthropic, an AI startup led by some former leaders at OpenAI. Anthropic has also built its own AI chatbot named Claude and has a mission centered on AI safety.</p>
