The attacks have been condemned not just by other countries, but also by a growing number of influential Israelis.

In an open letter published this summer, more than 200 people, including retired Israeli generals, intelligence officials, and two of the country's former prime ministers, demanded that the government step in to stop the attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.
voice-verified
They said what's happening there is terrorism and that the Israeli government is, quote, knowingly complicit.
voice-verified
In response to questions from The Times about the letter, the Israeli prime minister's office declined to address those accusations.
voice-verified
Yesterday, Israel did respond forcefully to the sanctions announcement, saying it would close the British consulate in East Jerusalem.

Back in the year 2000, a mathematics institute laid out a challenge.
voice-verified
It identified seven legendary, enormously complex, unsolved math problems and said it would award $1 million to anyone who could crack them.
voice-verified
They were dubbed the Millennium Problems, and the whole challenge was designed to push the world's leading mathematicians to new heights.
voice-verified
Yesterday, OpenAI announced that its AI technology has solved one of them.
voice-verified
The tech giant said that one of its latest models cracked what's known as the Navier-Stokes problem, which relates to the movement of water and other fluids.
voice-verified
OpenAI said its model solved it in just 88 hours, with as many as 10,000 AI agents working in concert.
voice-verified
As a side note, running that amount of AI systems likely cost millions of dollars.
voice-verified
In the math world, some experts are excited about the breakthrough, while others are urging caution about turning over the biggest problems in math to AI.
voice-verified
In an interview with The Times, one mathematician at UCLA, who's widely regarded as one of the world's leading mathematicians, warned that using AI to solve problems like this could weaken humans' understanding of math.
voice-verified
He said that working at and puzzling through intensely difficult problems teaches you something, comparing it to going to the gym to lift weights.
voice-verified
He said that if you let AI do it, quote, it's like having machines that can lift weights for you.
voice-verified
And finally, AI might be out there with its fancy math pulling a Goodwill hunting, but when it comes to house hunting, sorry, had to do it, it's causing some issues.
voice-verified
More and more listings for houses and apartments are relying on AI to do virtual staging.
voice-verified
Instead of having to move in nice looking furniture or asking a tenant to clean up, you just have AI reimagine the space and post those altered images.
voice-verified
Real estate listings have, of course, used tools like Photoshop to zhuzh things up for a long time.
