#octoberinleo I think meme coins are best when they're treated as a joke. I think treating them as investment defeats the point. Still, I enjoyed $DOGE years ago when it was relevant.
I'm not into Memecoins anymore, and I don't like how they became an investment avenue. I think this is a fad that will come to end soon. #crypto #cent #freecompliments

1/ Michael Saylor is showing himself to be Wall Street in sheep's clothing. He is looking to continue the hijacking of Bitcoin with his idea of a "Bitcoin Bank". This is going to feed more $BTC into TradFI.
3/ What was espoused as the solution, fixed money, is now seen to be a glaring weakness. The cap on Bitcoin comes from a lack of how money truly works. Wall Street understands this and is taking advantage.
4/ Here is where the evidence is rolling in. Fixed money always pools.
Wall Street, and the associated entities, will likely control 40%-50% of all the Bitcoin at some point. That is why Saylor abandoned the medium of exchange.

There's this weird effect where, when someone becomes famous enough, they cease to be treated like a human being.
Famous people enter the public domain. People then feel like they own a piece of the public figure: they can say, or do, whatever they want, because the person's famous.
The switch from treating someone like a person to treating them like a publicly-owned object is truly bizarre. And disturbing.
And its not only the harassment but the expectation that they have to talk on every social matter, and be on one side of the other of situations where they are not even involved just to please the masses.
No matter what they do, they will always have fans and haters, and both can be really dangerous.
Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 10/12/24. We aim to educate people about this crucial area along with providing information of what is taking place.
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
Meta has a suggestion for folks like me who forgot to go outside and look at the Northern Lights on Thursday night: just use AI to fake it! But Threads users who replied to Meta’s idea, posted along with three AI-generated images of the Aurora Borealis Meta last night, seem to disagree.
The images show the Northern Lights hovering over the Golden Gate Bridge, over a city skyline, and over a ferris wheel. It’s clearly meant to latch onto a trending moment of people posting their own pictures of the Northern Lights from the amazing and rare display of the lights, which plunged deep into the United States on Thursday night.
Once you get past the first few comments from people sharing their own AI-generated Northern Lights pictures, the replies range from thoughtfully critical:
Like the Olympics ad Google pulled, Meta’s social media team has failed to read the room. Users’ posts aren’t just showing off a pretty picture (though that’s certainly part of it!). They’re also about participating in a collective celebration of a rare, shared lived experience. It’s not the time or place to insert an AI-generated image.
Society is still sorting out messy questions about AI, like what it’s doing to photography and the ethics of training it on the internet’s collected works of artists, writers, musicians, and photographers. Until the dust settles from such debates, posts like Meta’s will continue to miss the mark.
In medicine, technology is a useful revolution, which allows us early diagnosis and timely treatment, more lives saved, favoring the integral wellbeing of the patient, his family and the society in which lives.

Throughout the entire history of humankind, all social and economic revolutions were kickstarted by disruptive technologies. The invention of the plow and irrigation systems, 12,000 years ago, led to the Agricultural Revolution. The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th Century led to the Protestant Reformation and rescued all of Europe out of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance era.
Now it’s the AI revolution era. In particular, Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a huge leap forward in technology, prompting profound economic implications at both the macro and micro levels. From reshaping global markets to fostering new forms of currency, LLMs are sculpting a novel economic landscape.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wants you to know he’s not an AI “doomer.”
Bostrom's essay is often characterized as a techno-utopian vision of the future, where AI is seen as a panacea for aLL of humanity's problems. While this view is certainly appealing, it is problematic for several reasons.
Firstly, techno-utopianism often ignores the complexities and nuances of real-world problems. It relies on simplistic and overly optimistic assumptions about the potential of technology to solve complex societal issues. In reality, these problems are often deeply ingrained in human societies and economies, and require a fundamentally different approach to solving them.
Secondly, techno-utopianism can be misleading because it creates unrealistic expectations about the potential of technology. It implies that AI can solve all of humanity's problems, when in reality, it is unlikely to single-handedly solve complex issues like world hunger, climate change, and economic inequality.
Bostrom's essay is filled with unsubstantiated claims about the potential of AI to solve complex problems. For example, he claims that powerful AI will arrive as soon as 2026, and that it will be able to "think" in the way that humans do, or that it will be able to "solve" complex problems like infectious diseases and genetic disorders.
These claims are not supported by empirical evidence, and they rely on a number of assumptions about the potential of AI that are not yet fully understood. While AI has made tremendous progress in recent years, it is still far from true human-like intelligence, and it is unrealistic to expect that it will suddenly and effortlessly solve complex problems.
Bostrom's essay ignores the many challenges and complexities associated with the development and deployment of AI. For example, the essay notes that AI has been shown to be biased and risky in a number of ways, and that it may fail to deliver on its promises even when implemented in existing clinical and lab settings.
These challenges are not trivial, and they require a fundamentally different approach to developing and deploying AI. For example, the development of AI requires a deep understanding of human values and ethics, and it requires a careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of AI.
Bostrom's essay is a reminder of the need for a more nuanced and balanced approach to the development and deployment of AI. We need to be cautious about the language we use to describe AI's capabilities, and we need to be realistic about what it can and cannot do.
We also need to be aware of the complex social and economic factors that will shape the development and deployment of AI, and we need to be prepared to address the many challenges and complexities that will arise as a result. This requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving experts from a range of fields, including computerscience, philosophy, ethics, and social science.
The Importance of Considering Human Values and Ethics
Bostrom's essay also highlights the importance of considering human values and ethics in the development and deployment of AI. While AI has the potential to bring numerous benefits to society, it also poses significant risks and challenges.
For example, AI has the potential to exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities, and it may also pose significant risks to human dignity and autonomy. Therefore, it is essential that we consider these issues carefully, and that we develop AI systems that are aligned with human values and ethics.
In conclusion, Bostrom's essay highlights the need for a more nuanced and balanced approach to the development and deployment of AI. While the potential benefits of AI are undeniable, they must be carefully weighed against the potential risks and challenges.
We need to be cautious about the language we use to describe AI's capabilities, and we need to be realistic about what it can and cannot do. We also need to be aware of the complex social and economic factors that will shape the development and deployment of AI, and we need to be prepared to address the many challenges and complexities that will arise as a result.
Ultimately, the development and deployment of AI requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving experts from a range of fields, including computer science, philosophy, ethics, and social science. By considering human values and ethics carefully, we can ensure that AI systems are developed and deployed in a way that benefits society as a whole.

Tesla has finally revealed its Cybercab, and it looks like a smaller, sleeker, two-seater Cybertruck. And while many were expecting there to be at least one prototype of a robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals, Tesla CEO Elon Musk delighted his fans with a lineup of 20 vehicles.
The flashy “We, Robot” event took place at Warner Bros. Discovery studio on Thursday. Before walking on stage, Musk walked over to a robotaxi, which opened its gullwing doors, and did a short demo around the well-maintained streets of the Hollywood studio.
Musk repeated previous claims that the cost of autonomous transport will be so low, it will be akin to “individualized mass transit.” He said he believed the average operating cost of the Cybercab will be over time around $0.20 per mile.
How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really "thinking" or "reasoning" the way we understand those things?
How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new paper making the rounds Friday suggests that the answer is, at least for now, a pretty clear “no.”
The Limits of Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Study on the Capabilities and Limitations of AI Systems
A recent study by a team of AI research scientists at Apple has shed light on the limitations of mathematical reasoning in large language models (LLMs), sparking a lively debate in the AI community about the capabilities of these models. The study, titled "Understanding the limitations of mathematical reasoning in large language models," has significant implications for the development and deployment of AI systems.
The researchers found that even state-of-the-art LLMs struggle to solve simple math problems when presented with irrelevant or extraneous information. For example, in a problem involving Oliver picking kiwis, the model was able to solve the problem correctly when the information was straightforward. However, when the problem was modified to include a random detail, such as kiwis being smaller than average, the model's performance dropped significantly. This suggests that LLMs do not truly understand the problem, but rather are able to respond with the correct answer through pattern recognition and replication of training data.
This finding is consistent with other observations about LLMs, which are able to generate human-like language but do not necessarily understand the meaning or context of the language. The study's authors propose that this is because LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning, but rather are simply replicating patterns they have observed in their training data.
The study's findings have significant implications for the development and deployment of AI systems. If LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning, but rather are simply replicating patterns they have observed in their training data, then they may not be as effective in complex or dynamic environments. This has important implications for the use of LLMs in applications such as decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
The study's conclusions have been met with some skepticism, with one OpenAi researcher arguing that better prompting could potentially overcome the limitations of the models. However, the study's authors argue that this approach may not be scalable to more complex distractions, and that the models may require exponentially more contextual data to counter such distractions.
The debate highlights the ongoing challenges and uncertainties in AI research, particularly in the area of reasoning and intelligence. While LLMs are able to perform impressive feats of language processing, their limitations and capabilities are still not fully understood. The study's findings also serve as a cautionary tale about the hype surrounding AI and its potential applications. As AI becomes an increasingly important tool in everyday life, it is essential to have a clear understanding of its capabilities and limitations.
The research community must continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI, while also being mindful of the potential pitfalls and limitations of these systems. The study's findings highlight the importance of continued research into the capabilities and limitations of LLMs. As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to have a deep understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.
The debate sparked by this study is a crucial step towards achieving this understanding, and will help to shape the development of AI systems that are capable of truly intelligent and human-like reasoning. Ultimately, the study's findings serve as a reminder of the importance of rigorous research and testing in the development of AI systems, and the need for a nuanced understanding of their capabilities and limitations.

Amazon's Robotics Evolution: A Conversation with Tye Brady
At Amazon's annual Re:Mars event in Nashville, the company showcased its latest advancements in AI and computer vision for package delivery. However, the real excitement lies in the company's rapid robotics evolution over the past year. TechCrunch sat down with Amazon Robotics chief technologist Tye Brady to discuss the company's robotics journey and what's in store for the next 12 months.
Amazon currently has over 750,000 robots deployed in its U.S. fulfillment centers, with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) making up the majority of the fleet. These AMRs, also known as tote robots, have been patrolling warehouse floors since Amazon acquired Kiva Systems in 2012. The company has also introduced robotic aRMs, including Robin, Cardinal, and Sparrow, which are tasked with sorting and stacking objects. These robots have been instrumental in increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs.
The latest addition to the Amazon Robotics family is Sequoia, an automated storage and retrieval system unveiled at the 2023 Delivering the Future event. The first Sequoia system went live in Houston, and a larger system has been installed in a Shreveport, Louisiana fulfillment center. This system is 5x larger than the initial deployment and forms the heart of a massive 3 million square foot warehouse. The Sequoia system is designed to optimize storage and retrieval of products, allowing Amazon to increase its storage capacity and reduce the need for human intervention.
Amazon is focused on retrofitting existing brownfield warehouses rather than building new greenfield facilities. This approach allows the company to work around existing delivery operations and "fix the airplane while it's flying," as Brady puts it. The Shreveport center, the first of Amazon's "Gen 12" buildings, will utilize 10x the number of robots as its predecessors and will employ 2,500 humans. This approach not only reduces construction costs but also allows Amazon to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
The increased use of robots will lead to more robot-centric jobs, including 25% more RME (reliability maintenance engineering) roles. Brady emphasizes that humans are still better suited for problem-solving, common sense, thinking with reason, understanding the big picture, and understanding context. Some physical tasks, such as those requiring human dexterity, will also remain the domain of humans. For example, humans will continue to be responsible for tasks that require precision, such as packing fragile items or handling high-value products.
Amazon's partnership with Agility, which showcased the Digit robot at Re:Mars 2023, is still active but has been quiet since the pilot's completion. Brady notes that the company is still learning and exploring the roles bipedal robots can play in its fulfillment centers. The partnership is focused on finding ways to integrate this technology into existing workflows, such as using the Digit robot to navigate tight spaces or handle fragile items.
Amazon has also partnered with Covariant, a UC Berkeley spinoff, to expand the role of foundational models in the industrial setting. Covariant's technology will help fine-tune product pick and placement, handling edge cases that require human intervention. This partnership will enable Amazon to improve its product handling and reduce errors, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
Amazon's robotics story is one of continuous evolution and expansion. The company's focus on retrofitting existing warehouses and integrating new technologies into existing workflows will lead to increased efficiency and productivity. As the company continues to explore the potential of robotics and AI, it's clear that humans will remain an essential part of the equation, working alongside machines to solve complex problems and drive innovation. With its continued investment in robotics and AI, Amazon is poised to revolutionize the logistics industry and set a new standard for efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Humans have automated tasks for centuries. Now, AI companies see a path to profit in harnessing our love of efficiency, and they’ve got a name for their solution: agents.
AI agents are autonomous programs that perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with environments with little human input, and they’re the focus of every major company working on AI today. Microsoft has “Copilots” designed to help businesses automate things like customer service and administrative tasks. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian recently outlined a pitch for six different AI productivity agents, and Google DeepMind just poached OpenAI’s co-lead on its AI video product, Sora, to work on developing a simulation for training AI agents. Anthropic released a feature for its AI chatbot, Claude, that will let anyone create their own “AI assistant.” OpenAI includes agents as level 2 in its 5-level approach to reach AGI, or human-level artificial intelligence.
Obviously, computing is full of autonomous systems. Many people have visited a website with a pop-up customer service bot, used an automated voice assistant feature like Alexa Skills, or written a humble IFTTT script. But AI companies argue “agents” — you’d better not call them bots — are different. Instead of following a simple, rote set of instructions, they believe agents will be able to interact with environments, learn from feedback, and make decisions without constant human input. They could dynamically manage tasks like making purchases, booking travel, or scheduling meetings, adapting to unforeseen circumstances and interacting with systems that could include humans and other AI tools.
Artificial intelligence companies hope that agents will provide a way to monetize powerful, expensive AI models. Venture capital is pouring into AI agent startups that promise to revolutionize how we interact with technology. Businesses envision a leap in efficiency, with agents handling everything from customer service to data analysis. For individuals, AI companies are pitching a new era of productivity where routine tasks are automated, freeing up time for creative and strategic work. The endgame for true believers is to create AI that is a true partner, not just a tool.
“What you really want,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told MIT Technology Review earlier this year, “is just this thing that is off helping you.” Altman described the killer app for AI as a “super-competent colleague that knows absolutely everything about my whole life, every email, every conversation I’ve ever had, but doesn’t feel like an extension.” It can tackle simple tasks instantly, Altman added, and for more complex ones, it will attempt them but return with questions if needed. Tech companies have been trying to automate the personal assistant since at least the 1970s, and now, they promise they’re finally getting close.
At an OpenAI press event ahead of the company’s annual Dev Day, head of developer experience Romain Huet demonstrated the company’s new Realtime API with an assistant agent. Huet gave the agent a budget and some constraints for buying 400 chocolate-covered strawberries and asked it to place an order via a phone call to a fictitious shop.
The service is similar to a Google reservation-making bot called Duplex from 2018. But that bot could only handle the simplest scenarios — it turned out a quarter of its calls were actually made by humans.
While that order was placed in English, Huet told me he gave a more complex demo in Tokyo: he prompted an agent to book a hotel room for him in Japanese where it would handle the conversation in Japanese and then call him back in English to confirm it’s done. “Of course, I wouldn’t understand the Japanese part — it just handles it,” Huet said.
But Huet’s demo immediately sparked concerns in the room full of journalists. Couldn’t the AI assistant be used for spam calls? Why didn’t it identify itself as an AI system? (Huet updated the demo for the official Dev Day, an attendee says, making the agent identify itself as “Romain’s AI Assistant.”) The unease was palpable, and it wasn’t surprising — even without agents, AI tools are already being used for deception.
There was another, arguably more immediate problem: the demo didn’t work. The agent lacked enough information and incorrectly recorded dessert flavors, causing it to auto-populate flavors like vanilla and strawberry in a column, rather than saying it didn’t have that information. Agents frequently run into issues with multi-step workflows or unexpected scenarios. And they burn more energy than a conventional bot or voice assistant. Their need for significant computational power, especially when reasoning or interacting with multiple systems, makes them costly to run at scale.
AI agents offer a leap in potential, but for everyday tasks, they aren’t yet significantly better than bots, assistants, or scripts. OpenAI and other labs aim to enhance their reasoning through reinforcement learning, all while hoping Moore’s Law continues to deliver cheaper, more powerful computing.
So, if AI agents aren’t yet very useful, why is the idea so popular? In short: market pressures. These companies are sitting on powerful but expensive technology and are desperate to find practical use cases that they can also charge users for. The gap between promise and reality also creates a compelling hype cycle that fuels funding, and it just so happens that OpenAI raised $6.6 billion right as it started hyping agents.
Big tech companies have been rushing to integrate all kinds of “AI” into their products, but they hope AI assistants, in particular, could be the key to unlocking revenue. Huet’s AI calling demo outpaces what models can currently do at scale, but he told me he expects features like it to appear more commonly as soon as next year, as OpenAI refines its “reasoning” o1 model.
For now, the concept seems to be mostly siloed in enterprise software stacks, not products for consumers. Salesforce, which provides customer relationship management (CRM) software, spun up an “agent” feature to great fanfare a few weeks ahead of its annual Dreamforce conference. The feature lets customers use natural language to essentially build a customer service chatbot in a few minutes through Slack, instead of spending a lot of time coding one. The chatbots have access to a company’s CRM data and can process natural language easier than a bot not based on large language models, potentially making them better at limited tasks like asking questions about orders and returns.
AI agent startups (still an admittedly nebulous term) are already becoming quite a buzzy investment. They’ve secured $8.2 billion in investor funding over the last 12 months, spread over 156 deals, an increase of 81.4 percent year over year, according to PitchBook data. One of the better-known projects is Sierra, a customer service agent similar to Salesforce’s latest project and launched by former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor. There’s also Harvey, which offers AI agents for lawyers, and TaxGPT, an AI agent to handle your taxes.
Despite all the enthusiasm for agents, these high-stakes uses raise a clear question: can they actually be trusted with something as serious as law or taxes? AI hallucinations, which have frequently tripped up users of ChatGPT, currently have no remedy in sight. More fundamentally, as IBM presciently stated in 1979, “a computer can never be held accountable” — and as a corollary, “a computer must never make a management decision.” Rather than autonomous decision-makers, AI assistants are best viewed as what they truly are: powerful but imperfect tools for low-stakes tasks. Is that worth the big bucks AI companies hope people will pay?
For now, market pressures prevail, and AI companies are racing to monetize. “I think 2025 is going to be the year that agentic systems finally hit the mainstream,” OpenAI’s new chief product officer, Kevin Weil, said at the press event. “And if we do it right, it takes us to a world where we actually get to spend more time on the human things that matter, and a little less time staring at our phones.”

If the material made available to the subscriber will have a sexual touch, that is up to whoever creates it and who consumes it - this is Keily's point of view
For some fans, she said, "it's really an ethical decision about how they choose to consume, especially adult content." In other cases, it's the unique content that counts, he said. She gave as an example interviews conducted by professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios on her OnlyFans account.
Tesla revealed this Thursday, the 10th, the prototype of its first fully autonomous car. The Cybercab is designed to perform robotaxi services and promises to be able to transport passengers to any destination without human intervention. The announcement was made at Warner Bros. studios, in California (USA), at an event called "We, Robot", in a nod to Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction work, "I, Robot".
CEO Elon Musk was responsible for presenting the car that should begin production in 2026, without pedals and steering wheel it will cost around US$30,000. During the event, Musk also revealed another new product from the automaker, Robovan. The electric vehicle was designed for passenger transport and holds up to 20 people.
Star of the night, the Cybercab announcement comes after years of incorrect predictions by Musk. In 2015, the billionaire stated that a fully automated car would be a reality within the next two years. A year later, he was talking about a vehicle for 2019 that was so safe that the user could even sleep during transport. Despite this, as many automakers have subsequently discovered, autonomous driving is a complex undertaking.
Although many vehicles today already have automation that, in theory, allows the driver to delegate some functions to a computer, the person behind the wheel must still always be attentive and ready to react if the vehicle faces an unexpected situation. With automated cars, Tesla already faces a series of lawsuits related to fatal accidents involving its vehicles.
Technology companies sell solutions to problems they themselves created and tend to promote a kind of "merdification" of contemporary life. This was the tone of the "Sleeping with the Enemy" table, which brought together American Danny Caine and Belgian Mark Coeckelbergh early this Thursday evening at Flip. According to the authors, big techs benefit from the fatigue and anxiety that the excessive use of their technologies generates in people.
"This goes for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple and many others", said Caine, poet and owner of a bookstore in the interior of the USA who inspired his book "How to Resist Amazon and Why", released in Brazil by the publisher Elefante .
"My anxiety often results from scrolling through my feed forever, without ever getting to the end of the news, posts and comments," he said, for whom this dynamic means that objective reality doesn't matter as much as the economy of people's directed attention. for digital media.
Belgian Coeckelbergh, author of "Ethics in Artificial Intelligence", released in Brazil by publisher Ubu, argued that many technologies developed by big tech generate anxiety at the same time that they promise to make our lives simpler, which he says is not necessarily true .
"E-mail is a simple example. It is easier and faster than sending a letter, but it favored the circulation of a huge amount of messages, which created new demands and made time pass faster", he says He is a professor of media philosophy and technology at the University of Vienna, Austria.
"There are other technologies that exploit our insecurities and vulnerabilities, while at the same time there is an industry of books, courses and workshops that offer marketable versions of self-improvement."
The panel was mediated by journalist Fabiana Moraes, professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and author of the book "Ter Medo de Quê?" (Arquipélago), to be released during Flip.
Caine and Coeckelbergh explored the issue of using data for product suggestions on websites belonging to billionaire Jeff Bezos' conglomerate of companies and the damage of digital commerce to the book market.
"Bezos is not interested in selling books, sold on Amazon at such low prices that competition is impossible. He wants to use book sales to collect data that will allow his companies to bait you online and offer other, more profitable products," Caine pointed out.
For him, the greatest damage of this process to the publishing market is the devaluation of the book itself. "If a book is sold for half price on Amazon, because Bezos doesn't need to make money from them, people start to think that these books are worth half their price, when it is a work of years, which involves the writer, of course, but a series of other professionals, inside and outside the publishers, who need to be paid", he argued.
These other products suggested by the site through algorithms is what Coeckelbergh called libertarian paternalism. "This type of incentive that Amazon offers through recommendations, in a way, ends up undermining your autonomy because you are left with the impression that you have freedom and autonomy of choice, but you are being influenced and manipulated in this direction."
In the field of authorship, Coeckelbergh evokes artificial intelligence (AI) to cite another collateral damage of new technologies to the book market. "There are extended language models that are capable of writing book reviews based on the work of authors and authors who are not being paid for it," he explained.
"There is no transparency in the system regarding its sources. It is not possible to track which texts were used and who the original authors are. As a result, we are left in a closed circuit in which all material becomes the same and, when used repeatedly, it becomes increasingly difficult new ideas emerge. How can we keep creativity alive in this context?", asked the Belgian.
This is one aspect of what Caine called the "merdification" of life, paraphrasing Canadian writer Cory Doctorow, who coined the English term, "inshittification."
"It's a great linguistic model that cannot produce a new idea because it feeds on everything that already exists. Big tech is reducing the quality of things."
"We can influence the development of new technologies that can support democracy and social change. Artificial intelligence does not have a predetermined destiny, as big tech wants us to believe and simply accept. A more democratic technology market would be very better than supporting the initiatives of half a dozen billionaires."
The wearables category already contains multitudes, from exercise-focused smart watches and sleep tracking smart rings to smart femtech and semi-invasive
The Rise of Wearable Neurotech: A Comprehensive Summary
Introduction
The wearables market is on the cusp of a significant expansion with the emergence of a new category: wearable neurotech. These devices, which target the brain without invasive procedures, are poised to revolutionize the treatment of various chronic health issues, from mental health conditions to metabolic disorders. This summary explores the current state of wearable neurotech, its potential applications, the challenges it faces, and the future it promises.
Wearable neurotech refers to therapeutic medical devices that apply brain stimulation externally, through the skin and skull, without any invasive procedures. This distinguishes them from brain implants, which require surgery. These devices are designed to treat a range of chronic health issues by influencing brain activity from outside the body.
Wearable neurotech devices typically use one of several stimulation techniques:
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Applies low current stimulation to the user's head via conductive pads.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): Uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain.
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES): Applies a low-level electrical current to the head.
Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS): Uses ultrasound waves to influence brain activity (still in research stages).
The basic theory behind these techniques is that stimulating the brain's activity in a targeted way can influence how a person feels by changing the electrical signals that brain cells use to communicate with each other.
Dr. Camilla Nord, an assistant professor at Cambridge University, explains that brain cells communicate using electrochemicals. There are two primary ways to influence brain activity:
Changing the chemistry (e.g., through antidepressants)
Changing the electrical signals (what brain stimulation does)
The field of wearable neurotech stands at an exciting juncture, poised to potentially transform the treatment of various mental and physical health conditions. As devices like Flow's depression treatment and consumer products from Alphabeats and Neurable enter the market, we are witnessing the early stages of what could become a significant shift in how we approach brain health and cognitive performance.
However, the path forward is not without challenges. Regulatory hurdles, the need for robust clinical evidence, and questions about long-term safety and efficacy aLL need to be addressed. Moreover, the industry must navigate the delicate balance between medical treatments and consumer wellness products, ensuring that claims are substantiated and users are properly informed.
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of wearable neurotech are substantial. For individuals struggling with conditions like depression, anxiety, or chronic pain, these devices offer hope for new, potentially more accessible, and possibly more tolerable treatment options. For healthy individuals, consumer neurotech products promise the ability to optimize cognitive performance and better understand one's own brain function.
As research continues and technology advances, we can expect to see further refinements in both the hardware and software aspects of these devices. Improved targeting of specific brain regions, more sophisticated algorithms for analyzing brain activity, and better integration with other health data could all contribute to making these devices more effective and user-friendly.
The success of wearable neurotech will ultimately depend on a combination of factors: solid scientific evidence, regulatory approval, acceptance by healthcare systems and providers, and, perhaps most importantly, positive experiences by users. As more people tRY these devices and share their experiences, we will gain a clearer picture of their real-world impact and potential.
In the coming years, it will be crucial to continue monitoring developments in this field, supporting rigorous research, and engaging in thoughtful discussions about the ethical implications of these technologies. With careful development and responsible use, wearable neurotech has the potential to open up new frontiers in our understanding and treatment of the brain, offering hope and help to millions of people worldwide.
The video you linked is about how domain-specific AI agents will shape the industrial world in the next 10 years. It discusses what domain-specific AI agents are, how they can be used to solve industrial problems, and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Domain-specific AI agents are AI systems that are designed to solve problems in a specific domain, such as manufacturing, healthcare, or finance. These agents are trained on large datasets of domain-specific data, and they can be used to automate tasks, make predictions, and provide insights.
There are a number of challenges and opportunities associated with the development and deployment of domain-specific AI agents. Some of the key challenges include:
Data quality: AI agents require high-quality data to be trained effectively. This can be a challenge in many industrial settings, where data may be noisy, incomplete, or biased.
Explainability: AI agents can be complex and difficult to understand. This can make it difficult to trust their decisions.
Bias: AI agents can be biased, which can lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes.
Despite these challenges, the opportunities for domain-specific AI agents are significant. These agents have the potential to revolutionize the way we work and live. By automating tasks, making predictions, and providing insights, AI agents can help businesses to become more efficient, productive, and competitive.
Domain-specific AI agents are a powerful Tool that can be used to solve a wide range of industrial problems. As these agents continue to develop, we can expect to see them playing an increasingly important role in the future of industry.
In addition to the points discussed in the video, I would also like to add that domain-specific AI agents can be used to develop new products and services. For example, AI agents can be used to develop new materials, design new products, and optimize manufacturing processes.
Domain-specific AI agents are a rapidly evolving field, and there is still much to learn about their potential applications. However, it is clear that these agents have the potential to make a significant impact on the industrial world.

In terms of pure intelligence4, it is smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields – biology, programming, math, engineering, writing, etc. This means it can prove unsolved mathematical theorems, write extremely good novels, write difficult codebases from scratch, etc.
In addition to just being a “smart thing you talk to”, it has all the “interfaces” available to a human working virtually, including text, audio, video, mouse and keyboard control, and internet access. It can engage in any actions, communications, or remote operations enabled by this interface, including taking actions on the internet, taking or giving directions to humans, ordering materials, directing experiments, watching videos, making videos, and so on. It does all of these tasks with, again, a skill exceeding that of the most capable humans in the world.
It does not just passively answer questions; instead, it can be given tasks that take hours, days, or weeks to complete, and then goes off and does those tasks autonomously, in the way a smart employee would, asking for clarification as necessary.
It does not have a physical embodiment (other than living on a computer screen), but it can control existing physical tools, robots, or laboratory equipment through a computer; in theory it could even design robots or equipment for itself to use.
The resources used to train the model can be repurposed to run millions of instances of it (this matches projected cluster sizes by ~2027), and the model can absorb information and generate actions at roughly 10x-100x human speed5. It may however be limited by the response time of the physical world or of software it interacts with.
*Each of these million copies can act independently on unrelated tasks, or if needed can all work together in the same way humans would collaborate, perhaps with different subpopulations fine-tuned to be especially good at particular tasks.
We could summarize this as a “country of geniuses in a datacenter”.
Nvidia's CEO said the AI chipmaker is building new chips on a one-year cycle
Nvidia’s chips have been a driver of the current artificial intelligence boom — and the chipmaker only wants to make it move faster, chief executive Jensen Huang said.
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang recently appeared on the Tech Unheard podcast, where he discussed the rapid pace of AI innovation, stating that it is not slowing down, but rather accelerating. Huang attributed this accelerated progress to Nvidia's focus on designing new chips and co-designing entire systems to improve performance while reducing energy consumption and costs.
According to Huang, NVIDIA has achieved a remarkable one-year cycle for producing new chips, which he credits to the rapid advancements in technology. The company is designing six to seven new chips per system, enabling them to reinvent the entire system and invent new technologies that improve performance by two to three times while using the same amount of energy and cost each year. This approach has allowed Nvidia to reduce the cost of AI by two to three times per year, outpacing Moore's Law.
Huang emphasized that Nvidia is committed to driving down the cost of AI as the industry moves towards even more complex models. The recent release of OpenAI's "reasoning" AI models, such as o1, is a prime example of this evolution. These models are designed to spend more time thinking before responding, mimicking human-like reasoning. In the future, AI services like OpenAI's ChatGPT will iteratively reason about the answer, requiring significantly more computational power.
Despite the increased demands, Huang believes the trade-off is worthwhile, as the quality of the answer is significantly better. He emphasized that Nvidia aims to drive the cost down so that this new type of reasoning inference can be delivered with the same level of cost and responsiveness as previous models.
Nvidia's commitment to accelerating AI innovation has not gone unnoticed, with the company's stock climbing back towards its record high of $135 in June. The chipmaker's shares opened up almost 1% at around $134 per share on Wednesday, a testament to the company's continued growth and success in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
In conclusion, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is confident that the pace of AI innovation is not slowing down, but rather accelerating. The company's focus on designing new chips and co-designing entire systems has enabled them to improve performance while reducing energy consumption and costs, driving down the cost of AI and paving the way for even more complex models in the future.
There’s no questioning Google’s dominance in the internet. It’s such a massive and familiar presence that the brand’s name has become the word people use to refer to searching for anything online. While this unofficial standardization has plenty of upsides, it also raises questions about Google’s influence on public opinion.
The anchoring effect is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to focus too much on the first piece of information they receive. In the context of Google search results, this means that users are more likely to believe the tOP result, even if it's not the most accurate or reliable.
Studies have shown that 28.5% of people click the first link on Google's search engine results page (SERP), while fewer than 10% open anything below the third result. This means that the top result has a disproportionate influence on people's opinions, often without them even realizing it.
search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing a website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) for specific keywords. While SEO is a legitimate practice, it can also lead to the promotion of biased or unreliable information.
Search engines like Google use complex algorithms to rank websites, and these algorithms can be influenced by factors such as keyword density, link equity, and content quality. However, this doesn't mean that the top result is always the most accurate or reliable.
Google's search results are often taken at face value, with 82% of AmericanInternet users saying they generally trust the search results. However, this trust is often misplaced, as Google's algorithms can be influenced by biased data or faulty information.
For example, Google's AI Overviews feature has been known to recommend eating rocks or offer incorrect cooking temperatures. This is not because Google is intentionally trying to spread misinformation, but rather because its algorithms are prone to errors.
Google's personalization features can also influence users' opinions. These features use real-time factors such as location and search history to tailor SERPs to individual users.
While personalization is meant to ensure that SERPs are as relevant as possible, it can also create echo chambers where users see information that reinforces their existing views. This can lead to a narrow and biased perspective, as users are not exposed to diverse viewpoints.
The influence of Google on public opinion is undeniable. However, the impact can be either positive or negative, depending on the context.
On the one hand, Google's influence can be a significant opportunity for businesses, as reaching the top of a SERP can give a website a huge amount of trust from users. However, this trust is often misplaced, as the top result may not be the most accurate or reliable.
On the other hand, Google's influence can also lead to the spread of misinformation and biased information. This can have serious consequences, particularly in areas such as health and finance, where accurate information is crucial.
Both companies and users have a responsibility to ensure that the information they provide online is accurate and reliable.
Companies should be careful about the information they put online, as anything ranking high enough could sway public opinion. Organizations should strive to remain unbiased and accurate, as trying to game the system with unreliable information can result in significant backlash.
Users, on the other hand, need to be mindful of how their use of Google can impact what they see. They should always check multiple sources to get the full picture, and be sure to scroll beyond the first few results, too. Reading an entire article in context and seeing where their information comes from is critical to avoiding misinformation.
The article highlights the significant influence Google has on public opinion, often unintentionally. While Google's influence can be a significant opportunity for businesses, it can also lead to the spread of misinformation and biased information.
Both companies and users have a responsibility to ensure that the information they provide online is accurate and reliable. By being mindful of the anchoring effect, SEO, and personalized results, users can take steps to avoid misinformation and ensure that they are seeing accurate and reliable information.
Public web data is a valuable business commodity. You collect data on the internet that can give you an edge in a competitive market. Theoretically, you can collect anything from publicly available tweets, product reviews, photos, and competitor prices. Data collection is a significant challenge for small businesses that can't afford to hire a team.
Oxylabs, a pioneering web intelligence collection platform, has recently launched OxyCopilot, an innovative AI assistant designed to level the playing field for businesses of all sizes to collect web data. According to Julius Černiauskas, CEO of Oxylabs, web data acquisition is a complex and time-consuming process that requires significant resources, making it challenging for smaller companies to compete with larger ones.
The importance of web data collection for businesses cannot be overstated. For instance, real estate agents need a comprehensive database of properties to stay ahead of the competition, while consulting firms require detailed information on oilprices, including import and export data. However, building the necessary infrastructure and maintaining data parsers is a daunting task, requiring up to 40 development hours per week.
OxyCopilot is designed to simplify the web data collection process by leveraging AI and Oxylabs' proprietary technology. The platform enables users to generate instant parsing instructions and requests for the Web Scraper API using a URL and natural language prompts. This eliminates the need for web scraping professionals, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
One of the significant challenges faced by companies when collecting data on a large scale is maintaining costly infrastructure. According to a recent survey, 61% of professionals identified this as the most pressing issue. Oxylabs' unified web scraping platform allows companies to bypass this problem, saving time and money.
Oxylabs has been a leader in the web intelligence collection industry since 2015, with a strong reputation for innovation, patent portfolio, and ethical practices. The company has been recognized as Europe's fastest-growing web intelligence acquisition company by the Financial Times' FT 1000 list in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
OxyCopilot is the industry's first AI assistant for scraping data and is part of Oxylabs' Web Scraper AI, an all-in-one public web data collection platform. The company is currently patenting the technological implementations behind OxyCopilot and plans to automate the entire public web data collection process using AI and machine learning (ML).
The launch of OxyCopilot marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to democratize access to web data collection. By making it easier and more affordable for businesses of all sizes to collect the data they need, Oxylabs aims to empower companies to thrive in today's competitive market. With OxyCopilot, businesses can now focus on what matters most – using data to drive growth and innovation – rather than spending valuable resources on complex data collection processes.

Gabriel Mercado será desfalque do Inter por longo período. O zagueiro sofreu lesão no ligamento do joelho esquerdo e passou por cirurgia em Buenos Aires na última segunda-feira. O argentino segue no país vizinho com a família e é esperado em Porto Alegre para dar início à recuperação. O clube confirmou que irá renovar o contrato do defensor.
Mercado sofreu a lesão em 22 de setembro, há 20 dias, na vitória do Inter sobre o São Paulo no Morumbis. O zagueiro, uma das lideranças do elenco, chegou a permanecer com o grupo para o jogo seguinte, em Bragança Paulista, andando de muletas. Depois, viajou à Argentina para ser operado.
O jogador passou pelo procedimento para reparar o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho esquerdo em um hospital na grande Buenos Aires. Durante o período pós-operatório imediato, permanece com a família. O Inter aguarda o retorno de Mercado para início do tratamento e tratar a renovação. O vice de futebol José Olavo Bisol citou o atleta ao comentar sobre 2025.
– É um atleta extremamente importante, muito além do que já desempenhou pelo clube, o que nos remete a ter todo respeito por ele, também é uma figura importante para o grupo, na sua liderança, sua forma de agir. Temos tranquilidade que vamos construir a renovação com ele, não quisemos tratar do assunto muito mais em razão da situação que ocorreu, deixá-lo tranquilo em fazer a cirurgia, estar próximo da família – destacou o vice de futebol José Olavo Bisol.
Clube e jogador tinham vínculo até o fim desta temporada. Com a lesão, pela gravidade e demora no tempo de recuperação, haverá renovação, que ainda será tratada. Muito além disso, o Inter deseja ter a presença de Mercado com o grupo para a reta final da temporada também pela figura que o argentino tem no elenco, sendo um dos mais experientes.
– Perspectiva que seja reintegrado conosco. Tem um histórico físico importante e que consiga atalhar a perspectiva de tempo que se coloca uma lesão dessa natureza e que possa estar à disposição não só fisicamente, mas o quanto antes poder nos ajudar em 2025 – acrescentou Bisol.
O protocolo deste tipo de lesão é de cerca de oito meses de recuperação. Neste cenário, Mercado voltaria a ficar à disposição em maio do ano que vem. Ainda sem data definida, o argentino é esperado nos próximos dias em Porto Alegre para iniciar o tratamento no Inter.
Toda criança apaixonada por futebol sonha em entrar em campo com os jogadores do time de coração. Mas, como começou essa história dos "mascotinhos" no futebol? O Atlético-MG foi um dos pioneiros na ação, que iniciou em 1976. O ge conversou com o idealizador do projeto e também com um historiador para desvendar como o primeiro passo foi dado.
A ideia partiu do então relações públicas do Atlético, Ronan Ramos Oliveira. O jornalista trabalhava no Galo e precisava aumentar a arrecadação do clube, além do público que ia ao Mineirão. O projeto tinha um "desejo pessoal" de Ronan, que era de entrar campo.
Mas, diferentemente do que vemos hoje com muitas crianças entrando em campo, a ideia primária era encontrar 11 sósias de atletas do elenco do Galo de 1976. O grupo tinha o argentino Ortiz como goleiro.
Ronan explicou que começou conversando com funcionários do clube para encontrar os "mascotinhos". Sempre em total sigilo, queria que fosse algo surpreendente para o clube e a torcida. Ele foi fazendo a seletiva com crianças que pareciam os atletas, mas seguia faltando o goleiro Ortiz.
— Achei que o mais fácil seria achar um sósia do Ortiz, e foi o mais difícil. Certo dia, estava distraído em um bar conversando com alguns amigos, quando escutei um barulho na mesa e vi dois pés calçados de Kichute. A pessoa estava em pé na mesa. Levantei a cabeça e vi o goleiro Ortiz em pessoa, só que muito mais jovem, uma criança. Era o filho do meu amigo Nicodemos Rodrigues da Cruz — contou ao ge.
Segundo Ronan, o clássico contra o América, no dia 5 de setembro de 1976, foi a primeira vez que o Galo entrou com mascotes em campo. O time alvinegro venceu por 1 a 0 com gol de Reinaldo. Por sugestão do Galo, o Coelho também teve seus mascotinhos na entrada em campo. A obrigação era de que tinha que ter o uniforme completo do Atlético e comparecer ao portão indicado no antigo Mineirão.
O professor da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Georgino Jorge de Souza Neto, tem uma dissertação com o título a "A invenção de torcer em Belo Horizonte" e é pesquisador de futebol. Para o professor, não é possível garantir que o Galo foi o primeiro a colocar crianças entrando com jogadores, mas ação foi um dos primeiros.
— Na dissertação, trato as questões do mascotes, mas é complicado, documentalmente, dizer que o Atlético foi o primeiro a adotar a prática. Não temos essa informação tão precisa. Não consigo afirmar se Atlético foi pioneiro, mas é possível dizer que os clubes de Belo Horizonte foi um dos primeiros no Brasil a adotar essa prática.
A música cantada pelo Sport na Série B inspira o acesso à elite e um possível troféu ao fim das 38 rodadas. E o maestro é Lucas Lima. O meia mais uma vez deu show e liderou os companheiros na vitória rubro-negra sobre o líder Novorizontino por 3 a 1, fora de casa, nesta sexta, que fortaleceu o Leão dentro do G-4 e o deixou a um ponto do topo da tabela.
A canhota do meia é sua batuta em campo. Com ela, iniciou a jogada do primeiro gol, dando passe para Fabricio Domínguez cruzar e Chico abrir o placar na entrada da área. Depois, deu um lindo passe de primeira para Gustavo Coutinho acertar um belo chute - também de primeira - e encerrar jejum de dez jogos sem marcar gols.
No segundo tempo, após o Sport levar um gol, Lucas Lima mostrou tranquilidade para tabelar com Fabricio Domínguez na saída de jogo e dar um belo lançamento - agora com a perna direita - para Gustavo Coutinho sair à frente do goleiro adversário. O atacante ganhou dividida fora da área e tocou para Barletta completar para as redes.
Para que a orquestra de Lucas Lima possa funcionar, é preciso escolher os melhores músicos e as melhores partituras. E quem tem feito isso muito bem é o técnico Pepa. O Sport chegou aos nove jogos de invencibilidade na Série B, oito deles com treinador português - o outro teve o interino César Lucena à frente.
Pepa tem conseguido extrair o melhor do elenco formado por Mariano Soso e que não funcionou com Guto Ferreira. Dessas partidas invictas do Leão, são seis vitórias e três empates, um aproveitamento de 77,7% que, se for mantido, garante o acesso.
Atualmente, na classificação geral, Novorizontino (1º, com 54), Santos (2º, com 53) e Sport (3º, com 53) estão empatados com o melhor aproveitamento da Série B, de 58%.
E um dado importante é o alicerce da campanha rubro-negra: o Leão é o melhor visitante da competição. Com a vitória no interior de São Paulo, o time chegou a seis, além de seis empates e quatro derrotas nos domínios adversários, com 50% de aproveitamento e 24 pontos conquistados.
Agora, o Leão faz três partidas seguidas como mandante, no que pode ser a "arrancada do acesso". Enfrenta, na próxima quarta-feira, o Operário, em jogo que havia sido adiado da 16ª rodada, e depois pega Botafogo-SP e Guarani. Todas as partidas serão na Ilha do Retiro.
A artesã Luciana Costa, de Uberlândia, foi multada pelo Bahia depois de vender topos de bolo com o escudo do Tricolor de Aço pela internet. Os produtos, comercializados por menos de R$ 10 a unidade, geraram uma multa de R$ 1.800 para a empresária. Ela afirmou que também foi notificada por Santos e Corinthians pelo mesmo motivo.
A reportagem procurou os clubes citados pela empresária. O escritório Bianchini Advogados, responsável pela fiscalização do uso da marca do Bahia e que notificou a artesã, enviou nota e informou que eles "não estão atrás de um vendedor específico mas de qualquer pessoa que se passe por licenciada e que comercializa qualquer tipo de produto de forma irregular".
O mesmo escritório também representa Santos e Corinthians em casos relacionados a marcas e patentes. À reportagem, o Corinthians não se manifestou sobre o caso da artesã em específico, mas detalhou como é o processo de licenciamento da marca do clube. O Peixe não retornou a solicitação do ge até a publicação deste texto. Veja os posicionamentos de todos os clubes na íntegra mais abaixo.
Ao ge, Luciana explicou que atua no ramo de decoração de bolos há 10 anos, com a produção de topos artesanais feitos de papel-arroz de diversos temas, incluindo futebol. Ela divulga o trabalho nas redes sociais e mantém um site de vendas onde os clientes podem fazer os pedidos.
— Em julho, um escritório de advocacia me notificou em nome do Bahia. Eu tenho um site de vendas e me pediram para retirar a imagem de lá, e geraram uma multa — contou Luciana.
O escritório que procurou a empresária é o Bianchini Advogados, com sede em São Paulo. O site do escritório menciona que a organização presta serviços na área de defesa da propriedade intelectual para o Bahia e para outros clubes de futebol brasileiro, como Santos, Corinthians e São Paulo.
Antes da multa do Bahia, Luciana já havia sido notificada por Santos e Corinthians por vender os itens com o escudo dos clubes. Todas as notificações foram feitas pela Bianchini Advogados.
À reportagem, a artesã disse que chegou a procurar o Corinthians para conseguir a licença de uso dos direitos da marca, mas desistiu após descobrir o valor cobrado.
Notificações e multas pelo uso sem autorização da marca de clubes não são novidade no Brasil, mas têm ganhado maior repercussão nos últimos meses. Em agosto, o Vitória multou uma artesã em R$ 1.600 por usar o escudo do clube em uma festa de aniversário. Após o ocorrido, o Leão anunciou um novo protocolo de fiscalização para uso da marca.
Em setembro, o Atlético-GO também notificou confeiteiras por conta da utilização do símbolo do clube. Após a repercussão negativa do caso, o time desistiu de processar as empreendedoras.
Mas afinal, porque usar o escudo dos clubes é irregular? O advogado especialista em Marcas e Patentes Alexandre Corrêa explica que o escudo e outros símbolos dos clubes estão protegidos pela Lei 9.279/96, conhecida como Lei da Propriedade Industrial.
Conforme Corrêa, a legislação existe "para que os proprietários de marcas consideradas notórias ou de alto renome possam se defender de atos considerados concorrencialmente desleais ou que potencialmente possam deteriorar os atributos comerciais positivos da marca".
— As marcas comerciais no Brasil são protegidas a partir da certificação formal obtida junto ao Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Intelectual e tal certificação garante ao titular a possibilidade de uso exclusivo em todo o território nacional.
Outra legislação a esse respeito é a Lei Pelé, que prevê que "a denominação e os símbolos de entidades de administração do desporto ou de prática desportiva, bem como o nome ou apelido desportivo do atleta profissional, são propriedade exclusiva dos mesmos, contando com a proteção legal, válida para todo o território nacional, por tempo indeterminado, sem necessidade de registro ou averbação no órgão competente".
No caso dos clubes assessorados pelo escritório Bianchini Advogados, a fiscalização é feita por um sistema de inteligência artificial para rastrear produtos não licenciados vendidos online, incluindo uniformes, canecas e canetas, por exemplo. Esse sistema analisa características como modelo, tamanho e valor para identificar possíveis irregularidades.
Procurado pelo ge, o escritório Bianchini Advogados , que representa o Tricolor, enviou uma nota de esclarecimento. O mesmo escritório também representa Santos e Corinthians em processos envolvendo o uso da marca dos clubes.
"É importante esclarecer que os clubes não estão atrás de um vendedor específico, mas de qualquer pessoa que se passe por licenciada e que comercializa qualquer tipo de produto de forma irregular. Os clube possuem um kit de festa licenciado, que segue normas específicas de certificação para produção e comercialização.
No caso específico desta senhora de Uberlândia, ela já foi notificada por outros clubes por prática semelhante.
Precisamos respeitar tanto os comerciantes que buscaram se licenciar, como o consumidor final que investe nos produtos licenciados. Os clubes têm abertura e interesse pelo diálogo e buscam pela comercialização regular de seu uso de imagem. É prática ilegal a utilização da marca dos clubes e prejudica quem de fato está dentro da Lei"
O Corinthians não se manifestou especificamente sobre o caso da artesã de Uberlândia. O Alvinegro também é representado pelo escritório Bianchini Advogados em casos de pirataria. Ao ge, o clube informou como é o processo de licenciamento para uso da marca do clube. Confira o passo a passo:
"Primeiro, é marcada uma reunião com o comerciante, on-line ou presencial, para conhecer um pouco a empresa, tempo de mercado, portfólio de produtos e, principalmente, canal de distribuição. Solicitamos também amostras dos produtos a serem licenciados. No próximo passo, seguimos para proposta comercial. Enviamos um formulário de proposta e uma planilha com uma projeção de vendas. Nesse formulário, a empresa nos faz uma proposta onde consta: tempo do contrato, garantia mínima , royalties e descrição dos produtos a serem licenciados. Acertando esta parte comercial pedimos alguns documentos da empresa para análise do compliance. Se tudo estiver certo, seguimos para o contrato".
O zagueiro Joel Matip, de 33 anos, anunciou aposentadoria nesta sexta-feira. O camaronês estava sem clube desde junho, quando deixou o Liverpool em fim de contrato.
Em dezembro do ano passado, Matip sofreu uma grave lesão no joelho, em jogo contra o Fulham, e nunca mais voltou a entrar em campo.
Contratado por indicação de Jürgen Klopp, em 2016, o defensor fez dupla de zaga com Virgil van Dijk e foi campeão de sete torneios, entre eles a Champions League e a Premier League.
Em toda sua carreira, Matip atuou apenas por duas equipes. Além dos Reds, jogou no Schalke 04 entre 2009 e 2016, conquistando a Copa da Alemanha e a Supercopa nacional. Na seleção camaronesa fez 27 partidas, com direito às disputas da Copa do Mundo de 2010 e 2014.
The Indians are in the American League. The Mets are in the National League.
For most of MLB history there was no interleague play. That means the only time an American League team would play one from the National was in the World Series. The top NL teams still plays the top AL team.
A couple decades ago, they started interleague play meaning the National and American league teams play during the season. This year, they made it where every team places every other team at least one series.
The Mets and Indians have played in the regular season but never met in the World Series.

A Fifa encerrou nesta sexta-feira a primeira rodada de inspeção nas cidades candidatas a sediar jogos da Copa do Mundo de 2027, no Brasil. Uma equipe técnica visitou 12 cidades para avaliar estádios, mobilidade, aeroportos e infraestrutura técnica. Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador e São Paulo foram os locais inspecionados.
A próxima inspeção, prevista para novembro, deve decidir o número de sedes no Mundial 2027, mas o anúncio oficial das cidades escolhidas está previsto apenas para o início de 2025. A Fifa planeja usar oito estádios, mas pode aumentar essa quantidade se achar necessário. Em 2014, a Copa do Mundo Masculina, também no Brasil, foi disputada em 12 sedes.
O processo de seleção das cidades-sede conta com uma equipe liderada por Rhiannon Martin, chefe do departamento da Copa do Mundo Feminina da Fifa. Este time viajou pelo Brasil desde o dia 25 de setembro. A última visita ocorreu nesta sexta-feira, com uma viagem à Arena Fonte Nova, em Salvador.
Os peritos da Fifa avaliaram os estádios e sua administração, tecnologia, bilheteria e hospitalidade, infraestrutura técnica, transportes e aeroportos. Além do compromisso das candidatas de gerar um impacto positivo no desenvolvimento do futebol feminino.
Nas últimas semanas, o Brasil apresentou um total de 12 estádios em 12 cidades, todos competindo para sediar a Copa do Mundo Feminina da FIFA 2027. Eu estou feliz em saber que as inspeções correram tranquilamente - afirmou Ednaldo Rodrigues, presidente da CBF e membro do Conselho da Fifa.
Menos de três meses depois de estrear pelo Botafogo, Igor Jesus se tornou o centroavante titular da seleção brasileira. O sucesso imediato desperta a dúvida: como o clube identificou um jogador que deu tão certo, mas só havia disputado 10 partidas do Brasileirão na carreira e estava longe dos principais centros do futebol mundial?
A resposta começa em um emprego anterior do atual diretor de gestão esportiva e chefe do departamento de scout do Botafogo, Alessandro Brito. Há quase uma década, ele era olheiro do Athletico-PR e conheceu Igor, então com 14 anos e jogador da base do rival Coritiba, que frequentemente enfrentava os times de divisões inferiores do Furacão.
Igor chegou ao Coritiba após se destacar em projetos esportivos em Mato Grosso, como o ge contou esta semana. Desde o início, impressionou pelo porte físico avançado e pela facilidade de jogar contra atletas mais velhos. Aos 19 anos, após duas temporadas na equipe principal do Coxa (uma na Série B e uma na Série A), transferiu-se para o Shabab Al-Ahli, dos Emirados Árabes.
De longe, Alessandro Brito acompanhava o desempenho do atleta. Em 2021, por exemplo, quando estava no Atlético-MG, o executivo tentou contratar o atacante, sem sucesso, já que a oferta foi recusada pelo clube dos Emirados.
Em 2022, Alessandro Brito assumiu o Botafogo com a missão de chefiar o departamento de scout do clube. Nos últimos dois anos, centenas de jogadores foram observados de alguma forma pela equipe. Desde a janela do início de 2023, um nome fazia brilhar diversos olhos alvinegros: Igor Jesus.
Praticamente todos os funcionários, mesmo vindo de áreas diferentes, consideravam Igor interessante. O nome do atacante sempre era citado quando o departamento fazia a varredura dos nomes observados.
No começo da reformulação do departamento, com a entrada da SAF, o atacante estava machucado — ele sofreu grave lesão que o tirou dos gramados de setembro de 2021 a setembro de 2022. Antes da contusão, o jogador teve ótima sequência no Oriente Médio, com 14 gols em 15 partidas, e chegou a receber sondagens de Galatasaray (Turquia) e Olympique de Marselha (França).
Com a volta de Igor Jesus aos gramados dos Emirados Árabes no segundo semestre de 2022, o Botafogo passou a observar de perto o atleta, tratado desde o início de 2023 como um dos principais alvos para o ataque.
Um olheiro da Eagle Football, empresa multi-clubes de John Textor, assistiu a jogos de Igor in-loco pelo Shabab Al-Ahli e deu sinal verde para o clube manifestar o interesse.
No ano passado, a diretoria alvinegra fez uma sondagem por Igor, mas o Shabab Al-Ahli não mostrou interesse em negociá-lo. Em boa situação financeira, o clube dos Emirados Árabes pedia valores considerados fora da realidade.
Encerrado o ano de 2023, o Alvinegro ganhou uma carta na manga: o contrato de Igor Jesus estava no fim. No meio de 2024, o atacante poderia se transferir sem pagamento de direitos ao Shabab Al-Ahli.
Identificada a necessidade de contratar mais um centroavante depois da saída de Diego Costa, o Botafogo abriu as negociações. Inicialmente, tentou contratar Igor Jesus em janeiro, o que foi negado pelo clube dos Emirados Árabes. Assim, a diretoria decidiu assinar o pré-contrato com o jogador para a janela do meio deste ano. Por mais que precisasse esperar seis meses, o clube entendia que era um atleta promissor.
O desejo do atacante de voltar para o Brasil facilitou a negociação. Ele tinha um sonho em mente: vestir a camisa da Seleção. Mas surgiu um obstáculo. Um clube dos Emirados Árabes ofereceu 10 milhões de euros (R$ 61 milhões) ao Botafogo, que poderia ter lucro por um atleta que nem havia entrado em campo pela equipe.
Igor estava valorizado no Oriente Médio porque só faltava um ano atuando no país para poder se naturalizar e defender a seleção dos Emirados Árabes. Porém, o jogador não se interessou, e Alessandro Brito foi um dos que defenderam que o Botafogo recusasse a proposta. Hoje, o clube só liberaria o atacante por uma proposta bem acima dos 10 milhões de euros.

#octoberinleo I think meme coins are best when they're treated as a joke. I think treating them as investment defeats the point. Still, I enjoyed $DOGE years ago when it was relevant.
I'm not into Memecoins anymore, and I don't like how they became an investment avenue. I think this is a fad that will come to end soon. #crypto #cent #freecompliments

1/ Michael Saylor is showing himself to be Wall Street in sheep's clothing. He is looking to continue the hijacking of Bitcoin with his idea of a "Bitcoin Bank". This is going to feed more $BTC into TradFI.
2/ #defi is the only answer to this. We see more BTC rolling into Wall Street hands. Saylor has $15 billion; Blackrock is now over $23 billion.
3/ What was espoused as the solution, fixed money, is now seen to be a glaring weakness. The cap on Bitcoin comes from a lack of how money truly works. Wall Street understands this and is taking advantage.
4/ Here is where the evidence is rolling in. Fixed money always pools.
Wall Street, and the associated entities, will likely control 40%-50% of all the Bitcoin at some point. That is why Saylor abandoned the medium of exchange.
5/ The flaw in the design is now being exposed.

#threadcast de sábado pra animar?
Sabadão! Uhul!
Clima mais tranquilo, sem aquele calor dos infernos... Está bom o final de semana kkkk...
Já tiveram enrosco com eles no aeroporto?
Não tive muita experiência em aeroporto, mas nunca tive encontro com esse povo.
Eu também não! No máximo me pediram pra tirar sapato ou cinto no detector de metais
Está andando com sapato de ferro por aí? 😅
Bem, nem isso eu não passei, mas é pq não tenho muitas viagens de avião.
kkkk
alguém deve ter escondido droga no sapato alguma vez e agora eles encrencam
Verdade, essas ideias loucas é pq sempre aconteceu uma primeira vez.
E o pior é que parece uma buxa das grandes
Tem altas chances de eu precisar trabalhar hoje... pqp
Capaz de perder o sábado todo nessa brincadeira
To ouvindo a participação da galera do programa Aeroporto Área Restrita no PodPah
Gosto muito dessa série
Já vi participações deles em vários programas, mas nunca me canso
Eles falam muito em gerenciamento de risco, que é uma coisa que me interessa muito.
Queria entender os fatores que eles analisam pra determinar o risco
Mas isso provavelmente nunca vai acontecer porque com certeza é um assunto muito sigiloso
É impressionante (e um pouco assustador) a quantidade de informações que eles tem sobre nós
Tenho estudado um pouco sobre mineração e análise de dados então entendo um pouco melhor sobre os processos por trás disso, mas não deixa de ser impressionante
o De Marco hoje está responsável por todo o aeroporto de guarulhos... imagina a pressão
Deve ganhar muito, claro, mas deve ser uma puta responsa também
Esqueço as vezes que eles não são policiais
Tem uma função bastante próxima a da polícia, mas não são policiais de fato
Eles trabalham para a Receita
Nunca tive
Que todos tenham um ótimo final de semana!

For #inleo subs, I will be giving alerts on the 1HR timeframe for BUY and SELL signals as well as take profit points, and trend changes for HIVE and BTC.
Once we are able to set our own prices, I will unlock way more trade alerts and access to the full PRO version of the Logical Trading Indicator.

I think what I will be offering is worth WAY more than the 5HBD per month that is being charged. I don't trade FOREX, so therefore I won't be tracking it for alerts here.
You are very correct 👍, I know little about those courses and I know what it took me in learning them... You know the best way to break it and I know that with time, the Subscription amount would increase.

You are very correct sir, I noticed you are an advance trader from the way you drop some analysis. Its a pleasure to meet you on the Blockchain ... #freecompliments
I have the Logical Trader's Club on Coin Logic for $49 per month that offers a lot more alerts, faster alerts, access to the PRO version of my custom indicator, and a 1 hour coaching session per month.
I am in the US, so 5 HBD can't even buy me a sandwich... LOL. So the value that my subs will be getting will be worth way more than they pay.

There's this weird effect where, when someone becomes famous enough, they cease to be treated like a human being.
Famous people enter the public domain. People then feel like they own a piece of the public figure: they can say, or do, whatever they want, because the person's famous.
The switch from treating someone like a person to treating them like a publicly-owned object is truly bizarre. And disturbing.
I'll never understand it fully.
It's like Hillary Duff had to buy the rights to the image of her own child years ago to prevent paparazzi to take photos and sell them.
And people say "they signed up for this" no they didn't.
Yes, there's this implication in society that when you pursue fame, you sign up for this. But it isn't explicit. No one agrees.
Thank god I'm not famous!
And its not only the harassment but the expectation that they have to talk on every social matter, and be on one side of the other of situations where they are not even involved just to please the masses.
No matter what they do, they will always have fans and haters, and both can be really dangerous.
Better not be that famous XD
It's worse, when someone is marketed to be that way. Like Asian idols. They're marketed so the fans feel like they own them. It's sad...
Very strange.
Some of it is the way society is today, but I think a lot of it is honestly human nature.

Meta suggests AI Northern Lights pics are as good as the real thing
Meta has a suggestion for folks like me who forgot to go outside and look at the Northern Lights on Thursday night: just use AI to fake it! But Threads users who replied to Meta’s idea, posted along with three AI-generated images of the Aurora Borealis Meta last night, seem to disagree.
#newsonleo #technology #meta
The images show the Northern Lights hovering over the Golden Gate Bridge, over a city skyline, and over a ferris wheel. It’s clearly meant to latch onto a trending moment of people posting their own pictures of the Northern Lights from the amazing and rare display of the lights, which plunged deep into the United States on Thursday night.
Once you get past the first few comments from people sharing their own AI-generated Northern Lights pictures, the replies range from thoughtfully critical:
Like the Olympics ad Google pulled, Meta’s social media team has failed to read the room. Users’ posts aren’t just showing off a pretty picture (though that’s certainly part of it!). They’re also about participating in a collective celebration of a rare, shared lived experience. It’s not the time or place to insert an AI-generated image.
Society is still sorting out messy questions about AI, like what it’s doing to photography and the ethics of training it on the internet’s collected works of artists, writers, musicians, and photographers. Until the dust settles from such debates, posts like Meta’s will continue to miss the mark.

Uber’s EV ridehailing business is maturing
Uber is holding its annual Go-Get conference in London today. As part of the event, the company is rolling out a number of changes to its ridehailing and delivery business to reflect the fact that more drivers and couriers are using electric vehicles.
Uber Green, the company’s EV and hybrid ridehailing product, is going fully electric in several select cities. Uber says Uber Green is now an EV-only service in 40 cities and states.

The Emerging Economy of LLMs
Throughout the entire history of humankind, all social and economic revolutions were kickstarted by disruptive technologies. The invention of the plow and irrigation systems, 12,000 years ago, led to the Agricultural Revolution. The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th Century led to the Protestant Reformation and rescued all of Europe out of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance era.
Now it’s the AI revolution era. In particular, Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a huge leap forward in technology, prompting profound economic implications at both the macro and micro levels. From reshaping global markets to fostering new forms of currency, LLMs are sculpting a novel economic landscape.

The Problem with Techno-Utopianism
Bostrom's essay is often characterized as a techno-utopian vision of the future, where AI is seen as a panacea for aLL of humanity's problems. While this view is certainly appealing, it is problematic for several reasons.
Firstly, techno-utopianism often ignores the complexities and nuances of real-world problems. It relies on simplistic and overly optimistic assumptions about the potential of technology to solve complex societal issues. In reality, these problems are often deeply ingrained in human societies and economies, and require a fundamentally different approach to solving them.
Secondly, techno-utopianism can be misleading because it creates unrealistic expectations about the potential of technology. It implies that AI can solve all of humanity's problems, when in reality, it is unlikely to single-handedly solve complex issues like world hunger, climate change, and economic inequality.
The Risks of Unsubstantiated Claims
Bostrom's essay is filled with unsubstantiated claims about the potential of AI to solve complex problems. For example, he claims that powerful AI will arrive as soon as 2026, and that it will be able to "think" in the way that humans do, or that it will be able to "solve" complex problems like infectious diseases and genetic disorders.
These claims are not supported by empirical evidence, and they rely on a number of assumptions about the potential of AI that are not yet fully understood. While AI has made tremendous progress in recent years, it is still far from true human-like intelligence, and it is unrealistic to expect that it will suddenly and effortlessly solve complex problems.
The Challenges of Developing and Deploying AI
Bostrom's essay ignores the many challenges and complexities associated with the development and deployment of AI. For example, the essay notes that AI has been shown to be biased and risky in a number of ways, and that it may fail to deliver on its promises even when implemented in existing clinical and lab settings.
These challenges are not trivial, and they require a fundamentally different approach to developing and deploying AI. For example, the development of AI requires a deep understanding of human values and ethics, and it requires a careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of AI.
The Need for a More Nuanced Approach
Bostrom's essay is a reminder of the need for a more nuanced and balanced approach to the development and deployment of AI. We need to be cautious about the language we use to describe AI's capabilities, and we need to be realistic about what it can and cannot do.
We also need to be aware of the complex social and economic factors that will shape the development and deployment of AI, and we need to be prepared to address the many challenges and complexities that will arise as a result. This requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving experts from a range of fields, including computer science, philosophy, ethics, and social science.
The Importance of Considering Human Values and Ethics
Bostrom's essay also highlights the importance of considering human values and ethics in the development and deployment of AI. While AI has the potential to bring numerous benefits to society, it also poses significant risks and challenges.
For example, AI has the potential to exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities, and it may also pose significant risks to human dignity and autonomy. Therefore, it is essential that we consider these issues carefully, and that we develop AI systems that are aligned with human values and ethics.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Bostrom's essay highlights the need for a more nuanced and balanced approach to the development and deployment of AI. While the potential benefits of AI are undeniable, they must be carefully weighed against the potential risks and challenges.
We need to be cautious about the language we use to describe AI's capabilities, and we need to be realistic about what it can and cannot do. We also need to be aware of the complex social and economic factors that will shape the development and deployment of AI, and we need to be prepared to address the many challenges and complexities that will arise as a result.
Ultimately, the development and deployment of AI requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving experts from a range of fields, including computer science, philosophy, ethics, and social science. By considering human values and ethics carefully, we can ensure that AI systems are developed and deployed in a way that benefits society as a whole.

Tesla has finally revealed its Cybercab, and it looks like a smaller, sleeker, two-seater Cybertruck. And while many were expecting there to be at least one prototype of a robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals, Tesla CEO Elon Musk delighted his fans with a lineup of 20 vehicles.
The flashy “We, Robot” event took place at Warner Bros. Discovery studio on Thursday. Before walking on stage, Musk walked over to a robotaxi, which opened its gullwing doors, and did a short demo around the well-maintained streets of the Hollywood studio.
Musk repeated previous claims that the cost of autonomous transport will be so low, it will be akin to “individualized mass transit.” He said he believed the average operating cost of the Cybercab will be over time around $0.20 per mile.

Researchers question AI's 'reasoning' ability as models stumble on math problems with trivial changes
How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really "thinking" or "reasoning" the way we understand those things?
How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new paper making the rounds Friday suggests that the answer is, at least for now, a pretty clear “no.”

The Limits of Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Study on the Capabilities and Limitations of AI Systems
A recent study by a team of AI research scientists at Apple has shed light on the limitations of mathematical reasoning in large language models (LLMs), sparking a lively debate in the AI community about the capabilities of these models. The study, titled "Understanding the limitations of mathematical reasoning in large language models," has significant implications for the development and deployment of AI systems.
The researchers found that even state-of-the-art LLMs struggle to solve simple math problems when presented with irrelevant or extraneous information. For example, in a problem involving Oliver picking kiwis, the model was able to solve the problem correctly when the information was straightforward. However, when the problem was modified to include a random detail, such as kiwis being smaller than average, the model's performance dropped significantly. This suggests that LLMs do not truly understand the problem, but rather are able to respond with the correct answer through pattern recognition and replication of training data.
This finding is consistent with other observations about LLMs, which are able to generate human-like language but do not necessarily understand the meaning or context of the language. The study's authors propose that this is because LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning, but rather are simply replicating patterns they have observed in their training data.
The study's findings have significant implications for the development and deployment of AI systems. If LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning, but rather are simply replicating patterns they have observed in their training data, then they may not be as effective in complex or dynamic environments. This has important implications for the use of LLMs in applications such as decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
The study's conclusions have been met with some skepticism, with one OpenAi researcher arguing that better prompting could potentially overcome the limitations of the models. However, the study's authors argue that this approach may not be scalable to more complex distractions, and that the models may require exponentially more contextual data to counter such distractions.
The debate highlights the ongoing challenges and uncertainties in AI research, particularly in the area of reasoning and intelligence. While LLMs are able to perform impressive feats of language processing, their limitations and capabilities are still not fully understood. The study's findings also serve as a cautionary tale about the hype surrounding AI and its potential applications. As AI becomes an increasingly important tool in everyday life, it is essential to have a clear understanding of its capabilities and limitations.
The research community must continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI, while also being mindful of the potential pitfalls and limitations of these systems. The study's findings highlight the importance of continued research into the capabilities and limitations of LLMs. As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to have a deep understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.
The debate sparked by this study is a crucial step towards achieving this understanding, and will help to shape the development of AI systems that are capable of truly intelligent and human-like reasoning. Ultimately, the study's findings serve as a reminder of the importance of rigorous research and testing in the development of AI systems, and the need for a nuanced understanding of their capabilities and limitations.

Amazon's Robotics Evolution: A Conversation with Tye Brady
At Amazon's annual Re:Mars event in Nashville, the company showcased its latest advancements in AI and computer vision for package delivery. However, the real excitement lies in the company's rapid robotics evolution over the past year. TechCrunch sat down with Amazon Robotics chief technologist Tye Brady to discuss the company's robotics journey and what's in store for the next 12 months.
Robot Deployment and Expansion
Amazon currently has over 750,000 robots deployed in its U.S. fulfillment centers, with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) making up the majority of the fleet. These AMRs, also known as tote robots, have been patrolling warehouse floors since Amazon acquired Kiva Systems in 2012. The company has also introduced robotic aRMs, including Robin, Cardinal, and Sparrow, which are tasked with sorting and stacking objects. These robots have been instrumental in increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs.
The latest addition to the Amazon Robotics family is Sequoia, an automated storage and retrieval system unveiled at the 2023 Delivering the Future event. The first Sequoia system went live in Houston, and a larger system has been installed in a Shreveport, Louisiana fulfillment center. This system is 5x larger than the initial deployment and forms the heart of a massive 3 million square foot warehouse. The Sequoia system is designed to optimize storage and retrieval of products, allowing Amazon to increase its storage capacity and reduce the need for human intervention.
Retrofitting Existing warehouses
Amazon is focused on retrofitting existing brownfield warehouses rather than building new greenfield facilities. This approach allows the company to work around existing delivery operations and "fix the airplane while it's flying," as Brady puts it. The Shreveport center, the first of Amazon's "Gen 12" buildings, will utilize 10x the number of robots as its predecessors and will employ 2,500 humans. This approach not only reduces construction costs but also allows Amazon to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
Robot-Centric Jobs and Human Roles
The increased use of robots will lead to more robot-centric jobs, including 25% more RME (reliability maintenance engineering) roles. Brady emphasizes that humans are still better suited for problem-solving, common sense, thinking with reason, understanding the big picture, and understanding context. Some physical tasks, such as those requiring human dexterity, will also remain the domain of humans. For example, humans will continue to be responsible for tasks that require precision, such as packing fragile items or handling high-value products.
Humanoid Robots and Partnerships
Amazon's partnership with Agility, which showcased the Digit robot at Re:Mars 2023, is still active but has been quiet since the pilot's completion. Brady notes that the company is still learning and exploring the roles bipedal robots can play in its fulfillment centers. The partnership is focused on finding ways to integrate this technology into existing workflows, such as using the Digit robot to navigate tight spaces or handle fragile items.
Amazon has also partnered with Covariant, a UC Berkeley spinoff, to expand the role of foundational models in the industrial setting. Covariant's technology will help fine-tune product pick and placement, handling edge cases that require human intervention. This partnership will enable Amazon to improve its product handling and reduce errors, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
Conclusion
Amazon's robotics story is one of continuous evolution and expansion. The company's focus on retrofitting existing warehouses and integrating new technologies into existing workflows will lead to increased efficiency and productivity. As the company continues to explore the potential of robotics and AI, it's clear that humans will remain an essential part of the equation, working alongside machines to solve complex problems and drive innovation. With its continued investment in robotics and AI, Amazon is poised to revolutionize the logistics industry and set a new standard for efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Agents are the future AI companies promise — and desperately need
Humans have automated tasks for centuries. Now, AI companies see a path to profit in harnessing our love of efficiency, and they’ve got a name for their solution: agents.
#newsonleo #technology #ai
AI agents are autonomous programs that perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with environments with little human input, and they’re the focus of every major company working on AI today. Microsoft has “Copilots” designed to help businesses automate things like customer service and administrative tasks. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian recently outlined a pitch for six different AI productivity agents, and Google DeepMind just poached OpenAI’s co-lead on its AI video product, Sora, to work on developing a simulation for training AI agents. Anthropic released a feature for its AI chatbot, Claude, that will let anyone create their own “AI assistant.” OpenAI includes agents as level 2 in its 5-level approach to reach AGI, or human-level artificial intelligence.
Obviously, computing is full of autonomous systems. Many people have visited a website with a pop-up customer service bot, used an automated voice assistant feature like Alexa Skills, or written a humble IFTTT script. But AI companies argue “agents” — you’d better not call them bots — are different. Instead of following a simple, rote set of instructions, they believe agents will be able to interact with environments, learn from feedback, and make decisions without constant human input. They could dynamically manage tasks like making purchases, booking travel, or scheduling meetings, adapting to unforeseen circumstances and interacting with systems that could include humans and other AI tools.
Artificial intelligence companies hope that agents will provide a way to monetize powerful, expensive AI models. Venture capital is pouring into AI agent startups that promise to revolutionize how we interact with technology. Businesses envision a leap in efficiency, with agents handling everything from customer service to data analysis. For individuals, AI companies are pitching a new era of productivity where routine tasks are automated, freeing up time for creative and strategic work. The endgame for true believers is to create AI that is a true partner, not just a tool.
“What you really want,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told MIT Technology Review earlier this year, “is just this thing that is off helping you.” Altman described the killer app for AI as a “super-competent colleague that knows absolutely everything about my whole life, every email, every conversation I’ve ever had, but doesn’t feel like an extension.” It can tackle simple tasks instantly, Altman added, and for more complex ones, it will attempt them but return with questions if needed. Tech companies have been trying to automate the personal assistant since at least the 1970s, and now, they promise they’re finally getting close.
At an OpenAI press event ahead of the company’s annual Dev Day, head of developer experience Romain Huet demonstrated the company’s new Realtime API with an assistant agent. Huet gave the agent a budget and some constraints for buying 400 chocolate-covered strawberries and asked it to place an order via a phone call to a fictitious shop.
The service is similar to a Google reservation-making bot called Duplex from 2018. But that bot could only handle the simplest scenarios — it turned out a quarter of its calls were actually made by humans.
While that order was placed in English, Huet told me he gave a more complex demo in Tokyo: he prompted an agent to book a hotel room for him in Japanese where it would handle the conversation in Japanese and then call him back in English to confirm it’s done. “Of course, I wouldn’t understand the Japanese part — it just handles it,” Huet said.
But Huet’s demo immediately sparked concerns in the room full of journalists. Couldn’t the AI assistant be used for spam calls? Why didn’t it identify itself as an AI system? (Huet updated the demo for the official Dev Day, an attendee says, making the agent identify itself as “Romain’s AI Assistant.”) The unease was palpable, and it wasn’t surprising — even without agents, AI tools are already being used for deception.
There was another, arguably more immediate problem: the demo didn’t work. The agent lacked enough information and incorrectly recorded dessert flavors, causing it to auto-populate flavors like vanilla and strawberry in a column, rather than saying it didn’t have that information. Agents frequently run into issues with multi-step workflows or unexpected scenarios. And they burn more energy than a conventional bot or voice assistant. Their need for significant computational power, especially when reasoning or interacting with multiple systems, makes them costly to run at scale.
AI agents offer a leap in potential, but for everyday tasks, they aren’t yet significantly better than bots, assistants, or scripts. OpenAI and other labs aim to enhance their reasoning through reinforcement learning, all while hoping Moore’s Law continues to deliver cheaper, more powerful computing.
So, if AI agents aren’t yet very useful, why is the idea so popular? In short: market pressures. These companies are sitting on powerful but expensive technology and are desperate to find practical use cases that they can also charge users for. The gap between promise and reality also creates a compelling hype cycle that fuels funding, and it just so happens that OpenAI raised $6.6 billion right as it started hyping agents.
Big tech companies have been rushing to integrate all kinds of “AI” into their products, but they hope AI assistants, in particular, could be the key to unlocking revenue. Huet’s AI calling demo outpaces what models can currently do at scale, but he told me he expects features like it to appear more commonly as soon as next year, as OpenAI refines its “reasoning” o1 model.
For now, the concept seems to be mostly siloed in enterprise software stacks, not products for consumers. Salesforce, which provides customer relationship management (CRM) software, spun up an “agent” feature to great fanfare a few weeks ahead of its annual Dreamforce conference. The feature lets customers use natural language to essentially build a customer service chatbot in a few minutes through Slack, instead of spending a lot of time coding one. The chatbots have access to a company’s CRM data and can process natural language easier than a bot not based on large language models, potentially making them better at limited tasks like asking questions about orders and returns.
AI agent startups (still an admittedly nebulous term) are already becoming quite a buzzy investment. They’ve secured $8.2 billion in investor funding over the last 12 months, spread over 156 deals, an increase of 81.4 percent year over year, according to PitchBook data. One of the better-known projects is Sierra, a customer service agent similar to Salesforce’s latest project and launched by former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor. There’s also Harvey, which offers AI agents for lawyers, and TaxGPT, an AI agent to handle your taxes.
Despite all the enthusiasm for agents, these high-stakes uses raise a clear question: can they actually be trusted with something as serious as law or taxes? AI hallucinations, which have frequently tripped up users of ChatGPT, currently have no remedy in sight. More fundamentally, as IBM presciently stated in 1979, “a computer can never be held accountable” — and as a corollary, “a computer must never make a management decision.” Rather than autonomous decision-makers, AI assistants are best viewed as what they truly are: powerful but imperfect tools for low-stakes tasks. Is that worth the big bucks AI companies hope people will pay?
For now, market pressures prevail, and AI companies are racing to monetize. “I think 2025 is going to be the year that agentic systems finally hit the mainstream,” OpenAI’s new chief product officer, Kevin Weil, said at the press event. “And if we do it right, it takes us to a world where we actually get to spend more time on the human things that matter, and a little less time staring at our phones.”

OnlyFans is not just for sexy content, says platform CEO
At a Bloomberg event in Los Angeles, Blair stated that a large part of the company's profit of US$658 million in 2023 came from sexy content, "and we are very happy with that."
#newsonleo #technology #onlyfans
At a Bloomberg event in Los Angeles, Blair stated that a large part of the company's profit of US$658 million in 2023 came from sexy content, "and we are very happy with that." However, she considers that freedom of posting and respect for subscribers' privacy make all the difference for those who choose the platform, which hosts content about cooking, exercise, humor and other non-adult topics. "We don't sell advertising and we don't track user behavior", he emphasizes.
After all, how does OnlyFans work? It is an online content subscription platform, where creators can charge a monthly fee for users to have access to their content. If the material made available to the subscriber will have a sexual touch, that is up to whoever creates it and who consumes it - this is Keily's point of view
For some fans, she said, "it's really an ethical decision about how they choose to consume, especially adult content." In other cases, it's the unique content that counts, he said. She gave as an example interviews conducted by professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios on her OnlyFans account.

Tesla reveals fully autonomous car designed for robotaxi service
Tesla revealed this Thursday, the 10th, the prototype of its first fully autonomous car. The Cybercab is designed to perform robotaxi services and promises to be able to transport passengers to any destination without human intervention. The announcement was made at Warner Bros. studios, in California (USA), at an event called "We, Robot", in a nod to Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction work, "I, Robot".
#newsonleo #tesla #technology #ai
CEO Elon Musk was responsible for presenting the car that should begin production in 2026, without pedals and steering wheel it will cost around US$30,000. During the event, Musk also revealed another new product from the automaker, Robovan. The electric vehicle was designed for passenger transport and holds up to 20 people.
Star of the night, the Cybercab announcement comes after years of incorrect predictions by Musk. In 2015, the billionaire stated that a fully automated car would be a reality within the next two years. A year later, he was talking about a vehicle for 2019 that was so safe that the user could even sleep during transport. Despite this, as many automakers have subsequently discovered, autonomous driving is a complex undertaking.
Although many vehicles today already have automation that, in theory, allows the driver to delegate some functions to a computer, the person behind the wheel must still always be attentive and ready to react if the vehicle faces an unexpected situation. With automated cars, Tesla already faces a series of lawsuits related to fatal accidents involving its vehicles.

Big techs promote 'commodification' of life, say authors at AI table
Technology companies sell solutions to problems they themselves created and tend to promote a kind of "merdification" of contemporary life. This was the tone of the "Sleeping with the Enemy" table, which brought together American Danny Caine and Belgian Mark Coeckelbergh early this Thursday evening at Flip. According to the authors, big techs benefit from the fatigue and anxiety that the excessive use of their technologies generates in people.
#newsonleo #technology #ai
"This goes for Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple and many others", said Caine, poet and owner of a bookstore in the interior of the USA who inspired his book "How to Resist Amazon and Why", released in Brazil by the publisher Elefante .
"My anxiety often results from scrolling through my feed forever, without ever getting to the end of the news, posts and comments," he said, for whom this dynamic means that objective reality doesn't matter as much as the economy of people's directed attention. for digital media.
Belgian Coeckelbergh, author of "Ethics in Artificial Intelligence", released in Brazil by publisher Ubu, argued that many technologies developed by big tech generate anxiety at the same time that they promise to make our lives simpler, which he says is not necessarily true .
"E-mail is a simple example. It is easier and faster than sending a letter, but it favored the circulation of a huge amount of messages, which created new demands and made time pass faster", he says He is a professor of media philosophy and technology at the University of Vienna, Austria.
"There are other technologies that exploit our insecurities and vulnerabilities, while at the same time there is an industry of books, courses and workshops that offer marketable versions of self-improvement."
The panel was mediated by journalist Fabiana Moraes, professor at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and author of the book "Ter Medo de Quê?" (Arquipélago), to be released during Flip.
Caine and Coeckelbergh explored the issue of using data for product suggestions on websites belonging to billionaire Jeff Bezos' conglomerate of companies and the damage of digital commerce to the book market.
"Bezos is not interested in selling books, sold on Amazon at such low prices that competition is impossible. He wants to use book sales to collect data that will allow his companies to bait you online and offer other, more profitable products," Caine pointed out.
For him, the greatest damage of this process to the publishing market is the devaluation of the book itself. "If a book is sold for half price on Amazon, because Bezos doesn't need to make money from them, people start to think that these books are worth half their price, when it is a work of years, which involves the writer, of course, but a series of other professionals, inside and outside the publishers, who need to be paid", he argued.
These other products suggested by the site through algorithms is what Coeckelbergh called libertarian paternalism. "This type of incentive that Amazon offers through recommendations, in a way, ends up undermining your autonomy because you are left with the impression that you have freedom and autonomy of choice, but you are being influenced and manipulated in this direction."
In the field of authorship, Coeckelbergh evokes artificial intelligence (AI) to cite another collateral damage of new technologies to the book market. "There are extended language models that are capable of writing book reviews based on the work of authors and authors who are not being paid for it," he explained.
"There is no transparency in the system regarding its sources. It is not possible to track which texts were used and who the original authors are. As a result, we are left in a closed circuit in which all material becomes the same and, when used repeatedly, it becomes increasingly difficult new ideas emerge. How can we keep creativity alive in this context?", asked the Belgian.
This is one aspect of what Caine called the "merdification" of life, paraphrasing Canadian writer Cory Doctorow, who coined the English term, "inshittification."
"It's a great linguistic model that cannot produce a new idea because it feeds on everything that already exists. Big tech is reducing the quality of things."
"We can influence the development of new technologies that can support democracy and social change. Artificial intelligence does not have a predetermined destiny, as big tech wants us to believe and simply accept. A more democratic technology market would be very better than supporting the initiatives of half a dozen billionaires."

However, the path forward is not without challenges. Regulatory hurdles, the need for robust clinical evidence, and questions about long-term safety and efficacy aLL need to be addressed. Moreover, the industry must navigate the delicate balance between medical treatments and consumer wellness products, ensuring that claims are substantiated and users are properly informed.
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of wearable neurotech are substantial. For individuals struggling with conditions like depression, anxiety, or chronic pain, these devices offer hope for new, potentially more accessible, and possibly more tolerable treatment options. For healthy individuals, consumer neurotech products promise the ability to optimize cognitive performance and better understand one's own brain function.
As research continues and technology advances, we can expect to see further refinements in both the hardware and software aspects of these devices. Improved targeting of specific brain regions, more sophisticated algorithms for analyzing brain activity, and better integration with other health data could all contribute to making these devices more effective and user-friendly.
The success of wearable neurotech will ultimately depend on a combination of factors: solid scientific evidence, regulatory approval, acceptance by healthcare systems and providers, and, perhaps most importantly, positive experiences by users. As more people tRY these devices and share their experiences, we will gain a clearer picture of their real-world impact and potential.
In the coming years, it will be crucial to continue monitoring developments in this field, supporting rigorous research, and engaging in thoughtful discussions about the ethical implications of these technologies. With careful development and responsible use, wearable neurotech has the potential to open up new frontiers in our understanding and treatment of the brain, offering hope and help to millions of people worldwide.

How to look at powerful #AI:
In terms of pure intelligence4, it is smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields – biology, programming, math, engineering, writing, etc. This means it can prove unsolved mathematical theorems, write extremely good novels, write difficult codebases from scratch, etc.
In addition to just being a “smart thing you talk to”, it has all the “interfaces” available to a human working virtually, including text, audio, video, mouse and keyboard control, and internet access. It can engage in any actions, communications, or remote operations enabled by this interface, including taking actions on the internet, taking or giving directions to humans, ordering materials, directing experiments, watching videos, making videos, and so on. It does all of these tasks with, again, a skill exceeding that of the most capable humans in the world.
#ai #technology #agi
It does not just passively answer questions; instead, it can be given tasks that take hours, days, or weeks to complete, and then goes off and does those tasks autonomously, in the way a smart employee would, asking for clarification as necessary.
It does not have a physical embodiment (other than living on a computer screen), but it can control existing physical tools, robots, or laboratory equipment through a computer; in theory it could even design robots or equipment for itself to use.
*Each of these million copies can act independently on unrelated tasks, or if needed can all work together in the same way humans would collaborate, perhaps with different subpopulations fine-tuned to be especially good at particular tasks.
We could summarize this as a “country of geniuses in a datacenter”.

Nvidia wants to drive AI costs down as 'reasoning' models rise
Nvidia's CEO said the AI chipmaker is building new chips on a one-year cycle
Nvidia’s chips have been a driver of the current artificial intelligence boom — and the chipmaker only wants to make it move faster, chief executive Jensen Huang said.
#nividia #newsonleo #technology #jensenhuang
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang recently appeared on the Tech Unheard podcast, where he discussed the rapid pace of AI innovation, stating that it is not slowing down, but rather accelerating. Huang attributed this accelerated progress to Nvidia's focus on designing new chips and co-designing entire systems to improve performance while reducing energy consumption and costs.
According to Huang, NVIDIA has achieved a remarkable one-year cycle for producing new chips, which he credits to the rapid advancements in technology. The company is designing six to seven new chips per system, enabling them to reinvent the entire system and invent new technologies that improve performance by two to three times while using the same amount of energy and cost each year. This approach has allowed Nvidia to reduce the cost of AI by two to three times per year, outpacing Moore's Law.
Huang emphasized that Nvidia is committed to driving down the cost of AI as the industry moves towards even more complex models. The recent release of OpenAI's "reasoning" AI models, such as o1, is a prime example of this evolution. These models are designed to spend more time thinking before responding, mimicking human-like reasoning. In the future, AI services like OpenAI's ChatGPT will iteratively reason about the answer, requiring significantly more computational power.
Despite the increased demands, Huang believes the trade-off is worthwhile, as the quality of the answer is significantly better. He emphasized that Nvidia aims to drive the cost down so that this new type of reasoning inference can be delivered with the same level of cost and responsiveness as previous models.
Nvidia's commitment to accelerating AI innovation has not gone unnoticed, with the company's stock climbing back towards its record high of $135 in June. The chipmaker's shares opened up almost 1% at around $134 per share on Wednesday, a testament to the company's continued growth and success in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
In conclusion, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is confident that the pace of AI innovation is not slowing down, but rather accelerating. The company's focus on designing new chips and co-designing entire systems has enabled them to improve performance while reducing energy consumption and costs, driving down the cost of AI and paving the way for even more complex models in the future.

How Google Influences Public Opinion
There’s no questioning Google’s dominance in the internet. It’s such a massive and familiar presence that the brand’s name has become the word people use to refer to searching for anything online. While this unofficial standardization has plenty of upsides, it also raises questions about Google’s influence on public opinion.
#google #technology #publicopinion
The Anchoring Effect
The anchoring effect is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to focus too much on the first piece of information they receive. In the context of Google search results, this means that users are more likely to believe the tOP result, even if it's not the most accurate or reliable.
Studies have shown that 28.5% of people click the first link on Google's search engine results page (SERP), while fewer than 10% open anything below the third result. This means that the top result has a disproportionate influence on people's opinions, often without them even realizing it.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing a website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) for specific keywords. While SEO is a legitimate practice, it can also lead to the promotion of biased or unreliable information.
Search engines like Google use complex algorithms to rank websites, and these algorithms can be influenced by factors such as keyword density, link equity, and content quality. However, this doesn't mean that the top result is always the most accurate or reliable.
Assumptions of Trustworthiness
Google's search results are often taken at face value, with 82% of American Internet users saying they generally trust the search results. However, this trust is often misplaced, as Google's algorithms can be influenced by biased data or faulty information.
For example, Google's AI Overviews feature has been known to recommend eating rocks or offer incorrect cooking temperatures. This is not because Google is intentionally trying to spread misinformation, but rather because its algorithms are prone to errors.
Personalized Results
Google's personalization features can also influence users' opinions. These features use real-time factors such as location and search history to tailor SERPs to individual users.
While personalization is meant to ensure that SERPs are as relevant as possible, it can also create echo chambers where users see information that reinforces their existing views. This can lead to a narrow and biased perspective, as users are not exposed to diverse viewpoints.
The Impact on Public Opinion
The influence of Google on public opinion is undeniable. However, the impact can be either positive or negative, depending on the context.
On the one hand, Google's influence can be a significant opportunity for businesses, as reaching the top of a SERP can give a website a huge amount of trust from users. However, this trust is often misplaced, as the top result may not be the most accurate or reliable.
On the other hand, Google's influence can also lead to the spread of misinformation and biased information. This can have serious consequences, particularly in areas such as health and finance, where accurate information is crucial.
The Responsibility of Companies and Users
Both companies and users have a responsibility to ensure that the information they provide online is accurate and reliable.
Companies should be careful about the information they put online, as anything ranking high enough could sway public opinion. Organizations should strive to remain unbiased and accurate, as trying to game the system with unreliable information can result in significant backlash.
Users, on the other hand, need to be mindful of how their use of Google can impact what they see. They should always check multiple sources to get the full picture, and be sure to scroll beyond the first few results, too. Reading an entire article in context and seeing where their information comes from is critical to avoiding misinformation.
Conclusion
The article highlights the significant influence Google has on public opinion, often unintentionally. While Google's influence can be a significant opportunity for businesses, it can also lead to the spread of misinformation and biased information.
Both companies and users have a responsibility to ensure that the information they provide online is accurate and reliable. By being mindful of the anchoring effect, SEO, and personalized results, users can take steps to avoid misinformation and ensure that they are seeing accurate and reliable information.
Oxylabs Has Changed How Web Scraping Is Done With a New AI-Powered Solution
Public web data is a valuable business commodity. You collect data on the internet that can give you an edge in a competitive market. Theoretically, you can collect anything from publicly available tweets, product reviews, photos, and competitor prices. Data collection is a significant challenge for small businesses that can't afford to hire a team.
#newsonleo #oxylans #data #internet #scraping #technology
Oxylabs, a pioneering web intelligence collection platform, has recently launched OxyCopilot, an innovative AI assistant designed to level the playing field for businesses of all sizes to collect web data. According to Julius Černiauskas, CEO of Oxylabs, web data acquisition is a complex and time-consuming process that requires significant resources, making it challenging for smaller companies to compete with larger ones.
The importance of web data collection for businesses cannot be overstated. For instance, real estate agents need a comprehensive database of properties to stay ahead of the competition, while consulting firms require detailed information on oil prices, including import and export data. However, building the necessary infrastructure and maintaining data parsers is a daunting task, requiring up to 40 development hours per week.
OxyCopilot is designed to simplify the web data collection process by leveraging AI and Oxylabs' proprietary technology. The platform enables users to generate instant parsing instructions and requests for the Web Scraper API using a URL and natural language prompts. This eliminates the need for web scraping professionals, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
One of the significant challenges faced by companies when collecting data on a large scale is maintaining costly infrastructure. According to a recent survey, 61% of professionals identified this as the most pressing issue. Oxylabs' unified web scraping platform allows companies to bypass this problem, saving time and money.
Oxylabs has been a leader in the web intelligence collection industry since 2015, with a strong reputation for innovation, patent portfolio, and ethical practices. The company has been recognized as Europe's fastest-growing web intelligence acquisition company by the Financial Times' FT 1000 list in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
OxyCopilot is the industry's first AI assistant for scraping data and is part of Oxylabs' Web Scraper AI, an all-in-one public web data collection platform. The company is currently patenting the technological implementations behind OxyCopilot and plans to automate the entire public web data collection process using AI and machine learning (ML).
The launch of OxyCopilot marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to democratize access to web data collection. By making it easier and more affordable for businesses of all sizes to collect the data they need, Oxylabs aims to empower companies to thrive in today's competitive market.

Inter aguarda Mercado para início de recuperação após cirurgia e confirma renovação
Gabriel Mercado será desfalque do Inter por longo período. O zagueiro sofreu lesão no ligamento do joelho esquerdo e passou por cirurgia em Buenos Aires na última segunda-feira. O argentino segue no país vizinho com a família e é esperado em Porto Alegre para dar início à recuperação. O clube confirmou que irá renovar o contrato do defensor.
#newsonleo #sports #inter
Mercado sofreu a lesão em 22 de setembro, há 20 dias, na vitória do Inter sobre o São Paulo no Morumbis. O zagueiro, uma das lideranças do elenco, chegou a permanecer com o grupo para o jogo seguinte, em Bragança Paulista, andando de muletas. Depois, viajou à Argentina para ser operado.
O jogador passou pelo procedimento para reparar o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho esquerdo em um hospital na grande Buenos Aires. Durante o período pós-operatório imediato, permanece com a família. O Inter aguarda o retorno de Mercado para início do tratamento e tratar a renovação. O vice de futebol José Olavo Bisol citou o atleta ao comentar sobre 2025.
– É um atleta extremamente importante, muito além do que já desempenhou pelo clube, o que nos remete a ter todo respeito por ele, também é uma figura importante para o grupo, na sua liderança, sua forma de agir. Temos tranquilidade que vamos construir a renovação com ele, não quisemos tratar do assunto muito mais em razão da situação que ocorreu, deixá-lo tranquilo em fazer a cirurgia, estar próximo da família – destacou o vice de futebol José Olavo Bisol.
Clube e jogador tinham vínculo até o fim desta temporada. Com a lesão, pela gravidade e demora no tempo de recuperação, haverá renovação, que ainda será tratada. Muito além disso, o Inter deseja ter a presença de Mercado com o grupo para a reta final da temporada também pela figura que o argentino tem no elenco, sendo um dos mais experientes.
– Perspectiva que seja reintegrado conosco. Tem um histórico físico importante e que consiga atalhar a perspectiva de tempo que se coloca uma lesão dessa natureza e que possa estar à disposição não só fisicamente, mas o quanto antes poder nos ajudar em 2025 – acrescentou Bisol.
O protocolo deste tipo de lesão é de cerca de oito meses de recuperação. Neste cenário, Mercado voltaria a ficar à disposição em maio do ano que vem. Ainda sem data definida, o argentino é esperado nos próximos dias em Porto Alegre para iniciar o tratamento no Inter.

Atlético-MG foi um dos pioneiros a colocar "mascotinhos" em campo com jogadores; conheça história
Toda criança apaixonada por futebol sonha em entrar em campo com os jogadores do time de coração. Mas, como começou essa história dos "mascotinhos" no futebol? O Atlético-MG foi um dos pioneiros na ação, que iniciou em 1976. O ge conversou com o idealizador do projeto e também com um historiador para desvendar como o primeiro passo foi dado.
#newsonleo #sports #atleticomg
A ideia partiu do então relações públicas do Atlético, Ronan Ramos Oliveira. O jornalista trabalhava no Galo e precisava aumentar a arrecadação do clube, além do público que ia ao Mineirão. O projeto tinha um "desejo pessoal" de Ronan, que era de entrar campo.
Mas, diferentemente do que vemos hoje com muitas crianças entrando em campo, a ideia primária era encontrar 11 sósias de atletas do elenco do Galo de 1976. O grupo tinha o argentino Ortiz como goleiro.
Ronan explicou que começou conversando com funcionários do clube para encontrar os "mascotinhos". Sempre em total sigilo, queria que fosse algo surpreendente para o clube e a torcida. Ele foi fazendo a seletiva com crianças que pareciam os atletas, mas seguia faltando o goleiro Ortiz.
— Achei que o mais fácil seria achar um sósia do Ortiz, e foi o mais difícil. Certo dia, estava distraído em um bar conversando com alguns amigos, quando escutei um barulho na mesa e vi dois pés calçados de Kichute. A pessoa estava em pé na mesa. Levantei a cabeça e vi o goleiro Ortiz em pessoa, só que muito mais jovem, uma criança. Era o filho do meu amigo Nicodemos Rodrigues da Cruz — contou ao ge.
Segundo Ronan, o clássico contra o América, no dia 5 de setembro de 1976, foi a primeira vez que o Galo entrou com mascotes em campo. O time alvinegro venceu por 1 a 0 com gol de Reinaldo. Por sugestão do Galo, o Coelho também teve seus mascotinhos na entrada em campo. A obrigação era de que tinha que ter o uniforme completo do Atlético e comparecer ao portão indicado no antigo Mineirão.
O professor da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Georgino Jorge de Souza Neto, tem uma dissertação com o título a "A invenção de torcer em Belo Horizonte" e é pesquisador de futebol. Para o professor, não é possível garantir que o Galo foi o primeiro a colocar crianças entrando com jogadores, mas ação foi um dos primeiros.
— Na dissertação, trato as questões do mascotes, mas é complicado, documentalmente, dizer que o Atlético foi o primeiro a adotar a prática. Não temos essa informação tão precisa. Não consigo afirmar se Atlético foi pioneiro, mas é possível dizer que os clubes de Belo Horizonte foi um dos primeiros no Brasil a adotar essa prática.

Análise: com maestro Lucas Lima e invicto há nove jogos, Sport entra na briga pelo título da Série B
A música cantada pelo Sport na Série B inspira o acesso à elite e um possível troféu ao fim das 38 rodadas. E o maestro é Lucas Lima. O meia mais uma vez deu show e liderou os companheiros na vitória rubro-negra sobre o líder Novorizontino por 3 a 1, fora de casa, nesta sexta, que fortaleceu o Leão dentro do G-4 e o deixou a um ponto do topo da tabela.
#newsonleo #sports #sport
A canhota do meia é sua batuta em campo. Com ela, iniciou a jogada do primeiro gol, dando passe para Fabricio Domínguez cruzar e Chico abrir o placar na entrada da área. Depois, deu um lindo passe de primeira para Gustavo Coutinho acertar um belo chute - também de primeira - e encerrar jejum de dez jogos sem marcar gols.
No segundo tempo, após o Sport levar um gol, Lucas Lima mostrou tranquilidade para tabelar com Fabricio Domínguez na saída de jogo e dar um belo lançamento - agora com a perna direita - para Gustavo Coutinho sair à frente do goleiro adversário. O atacante ganhou dividida fora da área e tocou para Barletta completar para as redes.
Para que a orquestra de Lucas Lima possa funcionar, é preciso escolher os melhores músicos e as melhores partituras. E quem tem feito isso muito bem é o técnico Pepa. O Sport chegou aos nove jogos de invencibilidade na Série B, oito deles com treinador português - o outro teve o interino César Lucena à frente.
Pepa tem conseguido extrair o melhor do elenco formado por Mariano Soso e que não funcionou com Guto Ferreira. Dessas partidas invictas do Leão, são seis vitórias e três empates, um aproveitamento de 77,7% que, se for mantido, garante o acesso.
Atualmente, na classificação geral, Novorizontino (1º, com 54), Santos (2º, com 53) e Sport (3º, com 53) estão empatados com o melhor aproveitamento da Série B, de 58%.
E um dado importante é o alicerce da campanha rubro-negra: o Leão é o melhor visitante da competição. Com a vitória no interior de São Paulo, o time chegou a seis, além de seis empates e quatro derrotas nos domínios adversários, com 50% de aproveitamento e 24 pontos conquistados.

Empresária é multada por Bahia e notificada por Corinthians e Santos por vender topos de bolo com escudos
A artesã Luciana Costa, de Uberlândia, foi multada pelo Bahia depois de vender topos de bolo com o escudo do Tricolor de Aço pela internet. Os produtos, comercializados por menos de R$ 10 a unidade, geraram uma multa de R$ 1.800 para a empresária. Ela afirmou que também foi notificada por Santos e Corinthians pelo mesmo motivo.
#newsonleo #sports #futebol
A reportagem procurou os clubes citados pela empresária. O escritório Bianchini Advogados, responsável pela fiscalização do uso da marca do Bahia e que notificou a artesã, enviou nota e informou que eles "não estão atrás de um vendedor específico mas de qualquer pessoa que se passe por licenciada e que comercializa qualquer tipo de produto de forma irregular".
O mesmo escritório também representa Santos e Corinthians em casos relacionados a marcas e patentes. À reportagem, o Corinthians não se manifestou sobre o caso da artesã em específico, mas detalhou como é o processo de licenciamento da marca do clube. O Peixe não retornou a solicitação do ge até a publicação deste texto. Veja os posicionamentos de todos os clubes na íntegra mais abaixo.
Ao ge, Luciana explicou que atua no ramo de decoração de bolos há 10 anos, com a produção de topos artesanais feitos de papel-arroz de diversos temas, incluindo futebol. Ela divulga o trabalho nas redes sociais e mantém um site de vendas onde os clientes podem fazer os pedidos.
— Em julho, um escritório de advocacia me notificou em nome do Bahia. Eu tenho um site de vendas e me pediram para retirar a imagem de lá, e geraram uma multa — contou Luciana.
Segundo a empresária, o pedido inicial era de multa de R$ 7 mil. Ela conseguiu renegociar e fechou o valor em R$ 1.800 parcelados em 10 meses.
O escritório que procurou a empresária é o Bianchini Advogados, com sede em São Paulo. O site do escritório menciona que a organização presta serviços na área de defesa da propriedade intelectual para o Bahia e para outros clubes de futebol brasileiro, como Santos, Corinthians e São Paulo.
Antes da multa do Bahia, Luciana já havia sido notificada por Santos e Corinthians por vender os itens com o escudo dos clubes. Todas as notificações foram feitas pela Bianchini Advogados.
À reportagem, a artesã disse que chegou a procurar o Corinthians para conseguir a licença de uso dos direitos da marca, mas desistiu após descobrir o valor cobrado.
Notificações e multas pelo uso sem autorização da marca de clubes não são novidade no Brasil, mas têm ganhado maior repercussão nos últimos meses. Em agosto, o Vitória multou uma artesã em R$ 1.600 por usar o escudo do clube em uma festa de aniversário. Após o ocorrido, o Leão anunciou um novo protocolo de fiscalização para uso da marca.
Em setembro, o Atlético-GO também notificou confeiteiras por conta da utilização do símbolo do clube. Após a repercussão negativa do caso, o time desistiu de processar as empreendedoras.
Mas afinal, porque usar o escudo dos clubes é irregular? O advogado especialista em Marcas e Patentes Alexandre Corrêa explica que o escudo e outros símbolos dos clubes estão protegidos pela Lei 9.279/96, conhecida como Lei da Propriedade Industrial.
Conforme Corrêa, a legislação existe "para que os proprietários de marcas consideradas notórias ou de alto renome possam se defender de atos considerados concorrencialmente desleais ou que potencialmente possam deteriorar os atributos comerciais positivos da marca".
— As marcas comerciais no Brasil são protegidas a partir da certificação formal obtida junto ao Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Intelectual e tal certificação garante ao titular a possibilidade de uso exclusivo em todo o território nacional.
Outra legislação a esse respeito é a Lei Pelé, que prevê que "a denominação e os símbolos de entidades de administração do desporto ou de prática desportiva, bem como o nome ou apelido desportivo do atleta profissional, são propriedade exclusiva dos mesmos, contando com a proteção legal, válida para todo o território nacional, por tempo indeterminado, sem necessidade de registro ou averbação no órgão competente".
No caso dos clubes assessorados pelo escritório Bianchini Advogados, a fiscalização é feita por um sistema de inteligência artificial para rastrear produtos não licenciados vendidos online, incluindo uniformes, canecas e canetas, por exemplo. Esse sistema analisa características como modelo, tamanho e valor para identificar possíveis irregularidades.
Procurado pelo ge, o escritório Bianchini Advogados , que representa o Tricolor, enviou uma nota de esclarecimento. O mesmo escritório também representa Santos e Corinthians em processos envolvendo o uso da marca dos clubes.
"É importante esclarecer que os clubes não estão atrás de um vendedor específico, mas de qualquer pessoa que se passe por licenciada e que comercializa qualquer tipo de produto de forma irregular. Os clube possuem um kit de festa licenciado, que segue normas específicas de certificação para produção e comercialização.
No caso específico desta senhora de Uberlândia, ela já foi notificada por outros clubes por prática semelhante.
Precisamos respeitar tanto os comerciantes que buscaram se licenciar, como o consumidor final que investe nos produtos licenciados. Os clubes têm abertura e interesse pelo diálogo e buscam pela comercialização regular de seu uso de imagem. É prática ilegal a utilização da marca dos clubes e prejudica quem de fato está dentro da Lei"
O Corinthians não se manifestou especificamente sobre o caso da artesã de Uberlândia. O Alvinegro também é representado pelo escritório Bianchini Advogados em casos de pirataria. Ao ge, o clube informou como é o processo de licenciamento para uso da marca do clube. Confira o passo a passo:
"Primeiro, é marcada uma reunião com o comerciante, on-line ou presencial, para conhecer um pouco a empresa, tempo de mercado, portfólio de produtos e, principalmente, canal de distribuição. Solicitamos também amostras dos produtos a serem licenciados. No próximo passo, seguimos para proposta comercial. Enviamos um formulário de proposta e uma planilha com uma projeção de vendas. Nesse formulário, a empresa nos faz uma proposta onde consta: tempo do contrato, garantia mínima , royalties e descrição dos produtos a serem licenciados. Acertando esta parte comercial pedimos alguns documentos da empresa para análise do compliance. Se tudo estiver certo, seguimos para o contrato".

Joel Matip, ex-Liverpool, se aposenta aos 33 anos
O zagueiro Joel Matip, de 33 anos, anunciou aposentadoria nesta sexta-feira. O camaronês estava sem clube desde junho, quando deixou o Liverpool em fim de contrato.
Em dezembro do ano passado, Matip sofreu uma grave lesão no joelho, em jogo contra o Fulham, e nunca mais voltou a entrar em campo.
#newsonleo #sports #liverpool
Contratado por indicação de Jürgen Klopp, em 2016, o defensor fez dupla de zaga com Virgil van Dijk e foi campeão de sete torneios, entre eles a Champions League e a Premier League.
Em toda sua carreira, Matip atuou apenas por duas equipes. Além dos Reds, jogou no Schalke 04 entre 2009 e 2016, conquistando a Copa da Alemanha e a Supercopa nacional. Na seleção camaronesa fez 27 partidas, com direito às disputas da Copa do Mundo de 2010 e 2014.
Senga ‘Going 100 Percent’ in Game 1 Against Dodgers
The Mets held a press conference earlier Saturday announcing the starting pitchers for Games 1 and 2 of the National League Championship Series.
Game 2 was given to Sean Manaea, who was stellar for the Mets down the stretch and solidified himself as the ace.''

I have no doubt that they made two good choices. I believe they will represent the Mets well.

John, has your team ever faced the Mets? I'm still learning about baseball and MLB.
@taskmaster4450le and @jimmy.adames they are helping me understand how incredible this sport is.
The Indians are in the American League. The Mets are in the National League.
For most of MLB history there was no interleague play. That means the only time an American League team would play one from the National was in the World Series. The top NL teams still plays the top AL team.
A couple decades ago, they started interleague play meaning the National and American league teams play during the season. This year, they made it where every team places every other team at least one series.
The Mets and Indians have played in the regular season but never met in the World Series.
Perhaps this is the year.
Thanks for the explanation, Task. I didn't realize the teams would be in different leagues.
That would be awesome.

It is now Dodgers versus the NY Mets in the National League Championship Series.
2024 is an interesting year.
The series kicks off Sunday October 13 in Los Angeles. They play 2 in LA and then head to NY.
From what I understand so far, the Dodgers are a strong team, but the Mets are also in this dispute because they have shown themselves to be a worthy team and we are looking for those two victories there.

Futebol Feminino
Fifa finaliza primeira rodada de inspeção em candidatas a sedes da Copa do Mundo Feminina de 2027
A Fifa encerrou nesta sexta-feira a primeira rodada de inspeção nas cidades candidatas a sediar jogos da Copa do Mundo de 2027, no Brasil. Uma equipe técnica visitou 12 cidades para avaliar estádios, mobilidade, aeroportos e infraestrutura técnica. Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador e São Paulo foram os locais inspecionados.
#newsonleo #sports #futebol
A próxima inspeção, prevista para novembro, deve decidir o número de sedes no Mundial 2027, mas o anúncio oficial das cidades escolhidas está previsto apenas para o início de 2025. A Fifa planeja usar oito estádios, mas pode aumentar essa quantidade se achar necessário. Em 2014, a Copa do Mundo Masculina, também no Brasil, foi disputada em 12 sedes.
O processo de seleção das cidades-sede conta com uma equipe liderada por Rhiannon Martin, chefe do departamento da Copa do Mundo Feminina da Fifa. Este time viajou pelo Brasil desde o dia 25 de setembro. A última visita ocorreu nesta sexta-feira, com uma viagem à Arena Fonte Nova, em Salvador.
Os peritos da Fifa avaliaram os estádios e sua administração, tecnologia, bilheteria e hospitalidade, infraestrutura técnica, transportes e aeroportos. Além do compromisso das candidatas de gerar um impacto positivo no desenvolvimento do futebol feminino.
Botafogo
Como o Botafogo descobriu Igor Jesus? Entenda a contratação do novo titular da Seleção
Menos de três meses depois de estrear pelo Botafogo, Igor Jesus se tornou o centroavante titular da seleção brasileira. O sucesso imediato desperta a dúvida: como o clube identificou um jogador que deu tão certo, mas só havia disputado 10 partidas do Brasileirão na carreira e estava longe dos principais centros do futebol mundial?
#newsonleo #sports #botafogo
A resposta começa em um emprego anterior do atual diretor de gestão esportiva e chefe do departamento de scout do Botafogo, Alessandro Brito. Há quase uma década, ele era olheiro do Athletico-PR e conheceu Igor, então com 14 anos e jogador da base do rival Coritiba, que frequentemente enfrentava os times de divisões inferiores do Furacão.
Igor chegou ao Coritiba após se destacar em projetos esportivos em Mato Grosso, como o ge contou esta semana. Desde o início, impressionou pelo porte físico avançado e pela facilidade de jogar contra atletas mais velhos. Aos 19 anos, após duas temporadas na equipe principal do Coxa (uma na Série B e uma na Série A), transferiu-se para o Shabab Al-Ahli, dos Emirados Árabes.
De longe, Alessandro Brito acompanhava o desempenho do atleta. Em 2021, por exemplo, quando estava no Atlético-MG, o executivo tentou contratar o atacante, sem sucesso, já que a oferta foi recusada pelo clube dos Emirados.
Em 2022, Alessandro Brito assumiu o Botafogo com a missão de chefiar o departamento de scout do clube. Nos últimos dois anos, centenas de jogadores foram observados de alguma forma pela equipe. Desde a janela do início de 2023, um nome fazia brilhar diversos olhos alvinegros: Igor Jesus.
Praticamente todos os funcionários, mesmo vindo de áreas diferentes, consideravam Igor interessante. O nome do atacante sempre era citado quando o departamento fazia a varredura dos nomes observados.
No começo da reformulação do departamento, com a entrada da SAF, o atacante estava machucado — ele sofreu grave lesão que o tirou dos gramados de setembro de 2021 a setembro de 2022. Antes da contusão, o jogador teve ótima sequência no Oriente Médio, com 14 gols em 15 partidas, e chegou a receber sondagens de Galatasaray (Turquia) e Olympique de Marselha (França).
Com a volta de Igor Jesus aos gramados dos Emirados Árabes no segundo semestre de 2022, o Botafogo passou a observar de perto o atleta, tratado desde o início de 2023 como um dos principais alvos para o ataque.
Um olheiro da Eagle Football, empresa multi-clubes de John Textor, assistiu a jogos de Igor in-loco pelo Shabab Al-Ahli e deu sinal verde para o clube manifestar o interesse.
No ano passado, a diretoria alvinegra fez uma sondagem por Igor, mas o Shabab Al-Ahli não mostrou interesse em negociá-lo. Em boa situação financeira, o clube dos Emirados Árabes pedia valores considerados fora da realidade.
Encerrado o ano de 2023, o Alvinegro ganhou uma carta na manga: o contrato de Igor Jesus estava no fim. No meio de 2024, o atacante poderia se transferir sem pagamento de direitos ao Shabab Al-Ahli.
Identificada a necessidade de contratar mais um centroavante depois da saída de Diego Costa, o Botafogo abriu as negociações. Inicialmente, tentou contratar Igor Jesus em janeiro, o que foi negado pelo clube dos Emirados Árabes. Assim, a diretoria decidiu assinar o pré-contrato com o jogador para a janela do meio deste ano. Por mais que precisasse esperar seis meses, o clube entendia que era um atleta promissor.
O desejo do atacante de voltar para o Brasil facilitou a negociação. Ele tinha um sonho em mente: vestir a camisa da Seleção. Mas surgiu um obstáculo. Um clube dos Emirados Árabes ofereceu 10 milhões de euros (R$ 61 milhões) ao Botafogo, que poderia ter lucro por um atleta que nem havia entrado em campo pela equipe.
Igor estava valorizado no Oriente Médio porque só faltava um ano atuando no país para poder se naturalizar e defender a seleção dos Emirados Árabes. Porém, o jogador não se interessou, e Alessandro Brito foi um dos que defenderam que o Botafogo recusasse a proposta. Hoje, o clube só liberaria o atacante por uma proposta bem acima dos 10 milhões de euros.
