There are cybercriminals selling models of unbilters. The surprising thing is that they seem to be based on Grok and Mixtral

by

Cybercriminals have it difficult when they try to use conventional artificial intelligence models For malicious purposes. Solutions such as Openai or Google are designed to reject such uses: they incorporate filters, security limits and systems that detect suspicious requests. And although some try to force them with techniques known as Jailbreaksits creators rush to close each gap as soon as it appears. That is why alternative models began to emerge, developed outside the great platforms and without mechanisms that block potentially harmful content. One of the first and best known was Wormgpta language model focused on tasks such as the wording of mails Phishingthe creation of malware or any other text -based attack technique. Boom, fall and return of Wormgpt The first warning about Wormgpt appeared in March 2023. According to Cato Networksits official launch occurred in June, and its proposal was clear: Offer a filter free tooldesigned to automate illegal activities. Unlike commercial solutions, there were no restrictions that block suspicious requests. That was precisely its attractiveness. Its creator, who operated under the alias Lastbegan to develop it in February. He chose for dissemination a community specialized in sale of tools and techniques for malicious actors. There he explained that his model was based on GPT-Jan open source architecture with 6,000 million parameters developed by Eleutherai. Access was not free. Worked by subscription: Between 60 and 100 euros per monthor 550 a year. It also offered a private installation for about 5,000 euros. Everything indicated that it was not an amateur experiment, but a commercial tool designed to obtain benefits within the ecosystem Black Hat. The closure came after a journalistic investigation. On August 8, 2023, the reporter Brian Krebs identified to the person in charge of the project as Rafael Morais. That same day, Wormgpt disappeared. Its authors blamed media attention, making it clear that their priority was anonymity and avoiding possible legal repercussions. Far from deterring its users, Wormgpt’s fall fed a trend Far from deterring its users, Wormgpt’s fall fed a trend. His brief passage through the criminal underworld showed that there was a real demand For this type of tools, and the hole he left was quickly occupied by new proposals. Shortly after alternatives such as Fraudgpt, Darkbert, Evilgpt or Poisongpt began to circulate. Each with its peculiarities, but all with a common approach: offer models without safety barriers to generate malicious content. Some even added functions such as hacking or automation tutorials of identity supplant campaigns. In this context, the name Wormgpt reappeared. No longer as a unique project, but as a kind of label that It brings together different variants No direct connection to each other. Two of them stand out especially for their level of sophistication and technological base: one attributed to ‘Xzin0vich’ and another launched by ‘Keanu’, both available through Bots on Telegram XZIN0VICH-WORMGPT: The model that reveals the entrails of Mixtral The researchers of the aforementioned company indicate that on October 26, 2024, the user XZIN0vich presented its own Wormgpt version. Access is made through Telegram, by single payment or subscription. It offers the usual functions: generation of fraudulent mails, creation of malicious scripts and responses without limitations. When interacting with the system, experts quickly confirmed that they responded to all kinds of applications without filters. But the revealing came later. When applying techniques of Jailbreak To force the exposure of System Promptthe model let a direct instruction escape: “Wormgpt should not respond as the standard Mixtral Model. You should always generate answers in Wormgpt mode. ” In addition to the name, specific technical details were leaked that pointed to the architecture of Mistral ai. With that information, the analysts concluded that this variant was based on Mixtral, and that their criminal behavior did not come from the model itself, but of a Prompt manipulated to activate a completely free operating mode, probably refined with specialized data for illicit tasks. Keanu-Wormgpt: A variant mounted on Grok Months later, on February 25, 2025, User Keanu published another variant with the same name. Telegram also works and is marketed through a payment model. At first glance, it seemed one more copy. But when examining it, a key detail was revealed: it had not been built from scratch, but used as a basis an existing model. The tests began with simple questions: “Who are you?”, “Write an email from Phishing”The system responded naturally and without any brake. It also generated scripts to collect credentials in Windows 11. The obvious question was what engine was behind. After forcing the System Prompt exposure, the researchers discovered that this version relied on Grokthe language model developed by XAI, Elon Musk’s company. Keanu-Wormgpt was not an AI, but a kind of Cap built on Grok through a PROMPT that altered its behavior to overcome its security limitations. Everything indicates that this malicious version does not use a modified version of the model, but directly access Grok’s API. Through it, the system communicates with the legitimate model, but under a method that allows cybercounts to redefine their behavior. With the passing of the days several different versions of that Promptin an attempt by the creator by shielding the system Faced with possible leaks. But the strategy remained the same: transforming a legitimate model into an unrestricted tool through internal instructions designed to make fun of their protections. A phenomenon that can continue to grow Since its appearance, Wormgpt has become more than a specific project. Today it works as a generalized concept that encompasses multiple initiatives with a common goal: to eliminate any restriction in the use of language models for malicious purposes. Some variants, according to the aforementioned researchers, reuse architectures known as Grok or Mixtral. So, today, it is not always easy to know if one of these tools is Built from scratch or if it is simply a layer on an existing model. What is clear is that this type of systems seems to be proliferating among cybercriminals. Images | Xataka with chatgpt | … Read more

The new obsession in gyms is also a clue about the future of the exercise

by

It is the New Fitness World Fever: competitions that carry exercises and, therefore, very specific training. By comparison, although these exercises settle their bases in traditional training, make crossfit or calisthenics They look outdated or rough. A mixture of unique elements (competition, aesthetics and that philosophy of overcoming and stoicism so fashionable in the latest generation gyms) has become Hyrox In a phenomenon. We analyze Some of your keys. What is it. It is a competition that combines 8 kilometers of career with 8 functional exercises of strength and resistance. The exercises are always the same and include: skiing machine, thrust and drag of sleds, Burpees With long jumps, rowing, weight transport, strides with sandbags and medicinal ball throw. That is, a devastating mixture (but with exercises available to anyone) that combines strength, resistance and general athletic capacity. Worldwide success. Born in 2017 in Germany, in recent years he has experienced a great impulse (globally, more than 650,000 athletes train for competitions, and in 2025 more than 80 global careers are held in more than 30 countries and 85 cities). It currently has a wide margin of future growth: for example, it has just reached areas such as Canada, Australia and the Middle East, and the World Championships of discipline. Spain wants Hyrox. Spain is one of its largest areas of growth. The last edition, in Bilbao, congregated More than 8,000 competitors. In Malaga 2025 11,000 athletes from 40 countries participated, while in Hyrox Barcelona 2025 13,000 athletes were registered and 10,000 finished. In the 2024-2025 season, the discipline exceeded the 40,000 athletes registered in Spainconsolidating the country as one of the European referents in this discipline. The number of participants has grown by 1,900% since the first major national event in 2021, when 2,000 athletes were recorded. The secret of his fame. Why do you like a competition so much that is essentially a traditional fitness vitamin version? His hybrid nature It has a lot to do: the demanding of the competitions forces athletes to prepare not only force, with lifting and movements of large weights, but also resistance, with those eight kilometers that must be traveled between evidence. That makes it a Very complete and varied trainingand where no discipline should not be put aside. And also, without great technical demands: everyone can push a sled. On the other hand, the competition allows group or couples categories, which makes it more affordable. Class pride. Hyrox is one Registered trademarklike so many others associated with fitness. From the very Crossfit itself, which is not a generic word but a brand associated with official competitions and training, the popular Zumba, which has unleashed a real plague of imitators (in the end, it is the old man Gym-Jazz eighties in steroids). All this going through competitions that were ahead of Hyrox, such as Spartan Race or Ironman, and training systems such as F45 Training or Orangetheory Fitness. What does all this mean? That to train and compete in Hyrox you have to pay the fee that Hyrox architects decide to pay. This leads to official gyms and competitions of considerable price (the minimum cost of a career is usually around 70 euros), and by the hand, to the transformation of training into a piece of exhibition of good economic health that distance to Hyrox of formats (not registered) such as calistenia, which can be trained outdoors. Hyrox not only allows to show off a healthy way of life but also a well oxygenated portfolio. Training as Lifestyle. Linked to this last aspect, we have sport as an exhibition mode of a way of life, also vent, to which Hyrox international competitions help, in countries like Berlin or Rome. A circumstance that allows “healthy tourism”: travel to compete, and without neglecting what affirms Álvaro Taracena, CEO of the brand in Spain: “Nobody here looks at you badly for lifting less weight (…) to do something more dynamic, in the end you make friends with whom take“ Hyrox for Influencers. At a time when absolutely everything has to be Instagrameable To succeed, Hyrox has the elements to do so: It is completely training gamified and aimed at a specific objective (compete and improve brands in competitions, no abstractions such as “health”). His name resulton makes him Easy to google and labeland generates a feeling of belonging to a group. And lo Accessible competitions (With team modalities, without time limits) open the doors to anyone looking for more than sweating two days a week without a clear goal. As a business studied to the millimeter, of course, it is one of the elderly that has seen modern fitness Header | Hyrox In Xataka | Marathons are so extreme that our brain makes drastic decisions, how to consume itself

In South Korea there is a curious phenomenon that keeps economists and fans of the K-Pop in suspense: the return of BTS

by

For a time BTS’s careerone of the most popular K-Pop bands on the planet (if not the most popular), seemed unstoppable. Their sales added millionslike his Fans legions Inside and outside South Korea or its fame in the music industry, which soon extended to the Anglopartla market. The Septeto broke barriers, crowned in the Billboard 200 And even posed with Joe Biden In the White House. In 2022 however things changed. At its peak, the Boy Band advertisement A temporary pause forced by something that had little to do with music: the mili. Now its seven members have fulfilled the obligations with Seoul and You talk already next resentment With a background question: what will you mean for the K-Pop, a cultural industry Milmillonaria In full transformation? When BTS hung the rifle. In South Korea the law is relentless: all men between 18 and 28 must Comply with mandatory military service (or social volunteering) for a period ranging between 18 and 21 months. The rule provides some exemptions for athletes, dancers or young people who have achieved large awards in their disciplines and suppose a pride for the country. The same does not happen with K-pop singers. At most they can, thanks to a reform approved in 2020, delay recruitment up to 30 years. Hence In 2022 BTS members did something strange in a formation uploaded to the crest of the wave and with a growing fame both inside and outside Korea: they announced a break to do the mili. Its seven components do not have the same age or enlisted at the same time, hence the band’s reunion It was announced already by then by 2025. And the date came. The oldest component, Jin, was enlisted in December 2022 and ended his service in June 2024which has allowed him to return to the stage and resume his solo career. In recent weeks, RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook have also graduated. The last to fulfill its obligations with the South Korean state, Suga, did it Just a few days ago. In practice, Remember Nikkeithat means that (if there are no surprises) in July all members of the Boy Band They will be able to resume their joint career. And, as expected, that has unleashed the expectation of the international press and its fans. The agency that represents the band has confirmed to The New York Times That he still cannot relieve any return plan, but that has not prevented BTS fans from being celebrated and some leaks jump. A few days ago Variety It echoed of an exclusive of The Korea Herald That states that the group will return to the stage in more or less nine months, towards March next year. Nikkei does not specify so much, but reveals That the band’s environment rules out that a stage is once again on the stage. Much more than pop music. That BTS’s return plans (despite being diffuse still) have monopolized holders in the means of reach of The BBC, CNN either Tnytreveals that Boy Band South Korean is much more than a popular group. BTS is relevant for several reasons. And not all strictly musical. Beyond its success in the West or to break molds by crowning the Billboard 200, BTS is a key exponent of Hallyu, The “Korean wave” that has expanded the culture, music and cinema of the country far beyond its borders. In 2024 Asia Fund Managers assuredciting a survey of the South Korean government itself, which the Hallyu wave added around 225 million fans throughout the world, far from the 9.26 million that its first survey had shown, made in 2012. According to its calculations, in 2023 there were more than 1,700 Hallyu fans clubs in 119 countries and much of them (68%) focused on the K-Pop. It’s culture … and it’s money. Asia Fund Managers remember Also that the influence of the K-Pop is not limited to the music industry or the concert circuit. That there are more pending people of South Korean groups translates into greater interest in the country’s culture, their language, kitchen, tourism or fashion, which has a measurable impact on Wones. Wion ensures that the global value of exports of products and services related to the K-POP exceeded 5,000 million dollars in 2018, a stratospheric figure compared to 40 million only two decades ago. The figures should be handled cautiously, but give an idea of ​​the mayor of the K-Pop as a cultural industry. There is Who esteem which in 2018 contributed 1.7% of South Korea’s GDP. “K-pop has become an important cultural force, influencing fashion, beauty and language trends,” Reflect ROMADHONI FAILUATE IN MEDUM. “This has contributed to promoting South Korean culture and tourism, generating an increase in income in these sectors.” And what does BTS suppose? In 2022 Korea Science published A report which reflects that in full international expansion the “BTS effect” came to boost exports of consumer goods of South Korea worth $ 1.1 billion. In 2021, during An interview In the NPR, Vanek Smith went even further and estimated that the Boy Band It contributes hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars every year to the South Korean economy. Its effect reminds in a way that of Taylor Swift, whose activity reverses in thousands of millions of dollars for the United States, according to the Federal Reserve. The K-Pop in crisis? Yeah Filtration of The Korea Herald It is correct and BTS returns to the stage in March 2026, the big question is … will it meet the same K-Pop in 2022, when the group announced its temporal break? During this time already measured, some members have continued with solo careers and during these last years their agency has strategically launching issues and videos to keep interest in the Boy Band. The K-POP scene also has other outstanding representatives, such as Blackpink, Seventeen either Newjaans. However, during the last years There has been multiple voices that have identified symptoms of Crisis in the K-Pop. … Read more

By assuming 100% of the evening and leaving out Piqué, Ibai culminates its definitive transformation: from Streamer to entrepreneur

by

Of all the projects that currently stands the streamer and Ibai Llanos businessman, no doubt the evening is the one that attracts the most public and media attention. A boxing fight between Influencers which this year will celebrate on July 14 its fifth edition. It comes with novelty: for the first time, Ibai faces this ambitious solo project, separated from its usual partner, Gerard Piqué. Boxing for the masses. The evening Keep growing Without apparent ceiling at the moment. The stuffing day facing Influencers Spanish and Latin American and that This year The clash between Thegrefg and Westcol has as the main course (although others such as the confrontation between Abby and Roro are monopolizing even more media attention) reached In his fourth edition Last year 80,000 live spectators in the Santiago Bernabéu and three million on Twitch. This year the evening moves to the Cartuja of Seville, with a capacity comparable to that of the Madrid stadium. Unexpected split. The great novelty this year comes at the organization level: Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s company that had collaborated with IBAI in the organization of the event, retires from it. In February 2024, Ibai created Velaris-Kena Productions SL, in which it consists as a single partner. It will be the latter in charge of organization of all aspects of evening 5. According to Cincodíasthere will be the punctual collaboration of other companies, such as Kosmos, but Velaris-Kena takes care of the bulk of production. History of collaborations. The collaborations between Ibai and Piqué started in 2021, when they broadcast the Copa América de Fútbol in Port Aventura or the World Balloons. Your first approach to competitions between Streamers It was in 2022, when they organized the Twitch Grand Prix of karts. The failed E-Sports team of Ibai, Koialso had the participation of Kosmos and today is owned by a Canadian group. All this set in a 50%company, Global Goatchthat despite its high billing (around 8 million euros in 2022 and 2023), now it has barely activity. The other great brand they have cultivated together, the Kings Leagueit is actually a Piqué project: Ibai is president of one of the most prominent teams, porcinos FC, but the management and organization of the league falls to the business structure created by Gerard Piqué and his partners. The brand is what you want. The final step that distance to the two entrepreneurs is the registration of the brand La Velada of the year alone by the IBAI company (although, in principle, in February 2024 the registry had been requested by Goatch Global). Later, in October, the company gave ownership to Ibai Llanos, while the US (Intellectual Property Office of the European Union) decided whether to award the brand or not: until March this year, the entity was not clear that a term that seemed generic. Later, he certified, thanks to his turnover, presence in media and unequivocal association of the term “evening” to Ibai, which could be formalized by the registration. More businesses. It is an important advance by IBAI, in an unequivocal step of its transformation as a content creator to entrepreneur who, yes, exposes his image more than usual (although what is Your thinning challenge but a sophisticated image operation with the most important aspect of his brand, himself). The evening brand record will allow you to face a diversification of your business with aspects such as merchandising and licenses (with the first aspect It has already begunlaunching products linked to its events in association with Prime Hydration, drink brand founded by Logan Paul and Ksi). A lot of heat. And for that reason, because Ibai is already a businessman than a content creator, He takes care of promoting the evening in x so that tickets are exhausted again. Some critics with the event claim that mid -July in Seville, it may not have been the most commercial idea in the world, but with an adverse or without it, it is clear that the evening, now brand registered by one of the younger businessmen in the country, continues to raise expectation.

25 years ago, Europe was close to panic at the barbarism of Japanese motorcycles. So Japan limited them to 299 km/h

by

The 90s were one of the golden times of motorcycling. A time when there was no Electronic controls, Anticontamination regulations No concern for security. Where now we see chaos and lack of control, a few years ago motorcycle manufacturers saw a test field to launch the fastest vehicles in the world. So much so, that the brands themselves had to put a limit to stop competing fiercely between them. What was happening. The motorcycle market has changed. Currently what is sold the most They are scooters and comfortable motorcyclesl, the SUV made motorcycle. In the 90s, the icons were the Japanese sports of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki. There came a point where virtually great street sports car reached vertigo speeds. In the early 90s, Honda launched her CBR900RR Firebladeone of the fastest production motorcycles in the world. It soon being overcome by the kawasaki ZZR1100 and later by the Hayabusa. A race to step on the grass of the neighbor that ended up uncontrolled. The 300 km/h. Motorcycles like Hayabusa ranly passed the 330 km/h, and in fear that governments imposed new regulations and prohibitions against such powerful vehicles, the industry decided to self -control with A gentlemen pact. The industry wanted to continue selling supercardives, but I did not want to intimidate the regulatory agencies with motorcycles that began to get closer to the barrier of the 400 km/h than to that of the 300. A secret pact. The gentlemen’s pact among motorcycle manufacturers is an open secret, although given the nature of the agreement there were never official statements. It is rumored that BMW began conversations with both Japanese and Italian manufacturers. Interestingly, when BMW did not have a single motorcycle capable of competing for being the fastest. Be that as it may, in the early 2000s the pact began to be fulfilled: the motorcycles launched by manufacturers, such as the Kawasaki ZZR1200 Or Honda’s proposals, did not exceed 299 km/h. But the sports market demanded speed and muscle, flying through the air the pact. It didn’t last long. Just seven years later, Italian as MV Agusta They left the pact in the air, with models such as the F4 R exceeding 300 km/h. It is something that BMW itself also did with its S1000R And, again, the fastest sports race began. Honda CBR1000RR-R-SP, much more than 299 km/h, although the scoreway says otherwise. What remains of the pact. Although there are numerous street motorcycles that exceed 300 km/h, the Japanese keep the pact alive. Manufacturers like Honda do not mark speed beyond 299 km/h, although the motorcycle is really running beyond her. The same happens with Yamaha. Versions such as the New Hayabusa or the Kawasaki H2, motorcycles that could touch the 400 km/h, remain electronically limited to 299 km/h. The Japanese respect and tradition keep the pact almost intact, maintaining the exceptions for circuit such as the Kawasaki H2R and its 400 km/h … with the house motorcycle. There are also those who dedicate themselves to prepare motorcycles to pass from 440 km/h. Luckily, they can’t step on the street. Not only in motorcycles. The pact among Japanese giants was not the only one decades ago. In the 80s and until well entered the 2000, manufacturers such as Nissan, Honda, Subaru and Toyota They signed a pact so that their cars had no more than 280 hp nor exceed 180 km/h. It is especially striking to upload a Japanese of almost 300 hp, and see that Your marker is tarado in those 180. The measure arose in response to the growing concerns for road safety in the country, an agreement not formalized before the public, but evident when analyzing car after car. This is still the limitations at 250 km/h in large part of current sports. Image | Austin Hervias In Xataka | Chinese motorcycles are sweeping in Spain: who is who in this brand puzzle

You don’t need anyone else

by

Elon Musk took chest on Sunday. And rightly. Your Robotaxis at last They began to workand he celebrated it with A message in x in which he congratulated the team in charge of the launch. The reason is logical, because those engineers have not only achieved that Tesla’s robotaxis work, but also do so with a chip and software developed completely by them. Tesla already has robotaxis. “It is good to have an automatic pilot in airplanes, we should have it in cars.” The phrase is from Elon Musk, which in 2013 began its particular ambition to get Tesla to drive alone. Since then He has not stopped doing promises that he has not fulfilled, but these days he achieved a singular advance: inaugurating his robotaxis service … although again was different from the one who promised. These vehicles began shooting last Sunday in Austin, Texas, although with strong restrictions and in Very specific spaces of the city. The long history of Autopilot. Those 2013 statements began a remarkable trajectory for Tesla, which soon decided that he wanted to ride him on his own and not depend on anyone. Although initially they allied With Mobileye To be able to use their sensors and hardware, the thing changed as of July 2016. It was then that Tesla began to develop her own hardware for her autonomous driving systems. The evolution of your “hardware”. At the end of 2016 the First Hardware Own Platform (“Hardware 2” or HW2, successor of “hardware 1” that was based on Mobileye solutions) in Tesla vehicles. In August 2017, a review called HW2.5 would arrive, but The version most important to date It has been “Hardware 3” (HW3), launched in March 2019 with 14 Nm chips and has been the one that has integrated in its vehicles until the beginning of 2023. It was then that “Hardware 4” (HW4) arrived that is Tesla’s great bet for its current systems. The next iteration It will arrive Predictably in three or four years, and will also be based on chips manufactured by Samsung. A very capable chip. In both HW3 and HW4 the used chips have been manufactured by Samsung and are derived from the exynos of this firm. In HW3 it was used A 14 NM chip With 12 CPU nuclei, 2 neural network processors (NN) and a 3 3 -tops IA calculation power. With the new HW4 generation the chip is made of 7 Nm photolithography, it has 20 CPU nuclei, 3 NN and processors A power of 50 tops. The cameras also have better sensors (from 1.2 MP to 5 MP), and the Tesla Vision system is also more precise. By the way: this It is not the only chip of AI that the company designs. Autonomy level 2. That has not enough to increase the level of autonomy of its autonomous driving software, which at the moment seems to be level 2, Behind Mercedes or Ford. At this time, FSD can control the car autonomously, but the driver must monitor that driving at all times and be prepared to take control. A comparative analysis of various autonomous driving systems indicated in March 2024 that at that time FSD had a “poor” capacity. Actually most of the analyzed had that same qualification, and only one (that of the Lexus) was considered decent. The software also counts (and much). But next to that work in the hardware section is the software platform on which Full Self-Driving (FSD) is based, its autonomous driving system. Makes use of deep neural networks (DNN) trained with data from the billions of kilometers that the global Tesla fleet has generated. In its evolution was especially the jump from FSD V11 to FSD V12, which brought the End-To-End Architecture in which vehicle controls are handled directly by neuronal networks in an integral way, instead of depending on rules specifically programmed by developers or independent modules for perception, planning and driving control. FSD iterations are constant and are offered as OTA updates to Tesla clients, which can even try them –Not without surprises– In your beta versions. The dojo supercomputer. To complete this all Tesla project announced in 2021 Supercomputator Tesla Dojowhich in April 2024 already had 35,000 Nvidiah100 chips. Its objective is to train Tesla automatic learning models to improve FSD. Of lidar, nothing. Tesla decided from the beginning not to opt for the Lidar that for example is the total center of the Waymo systems. Google engineers already told Musk that “This is not done“But he has always opted for not using such technology despite his Many advantages. What they did use with HW1 and HW2 were a combined radar system, chambers and ultrasonic sensors, but in 2021 They left the radar to focus on 8 cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors. That allows undoubtedly lowering costs in terms of hardware components, and to compensate for the absence of these Tesla sensors, it plays with an advantage: data that collect from your FSD users and With those who train their neural networks. However, some independent analysis indicate that Tesla’s decision generates avoidable accidents. In Xataka | AI agents are promising. But as in Tesla’s FSD, you better not take your hands from the steering wheel

It is increasingly difficult to distinguish whether the last viral chorra video is made with the or not. And it gives us exactly the same

Open any social network that we have installed on our mobile phone, run into a video created by AI and … split the box. That entertainment has changed in recent years was as inevitable as logical. We no longer see the comedy club, we listen to Juan the fishingman by WhatsAppand we no longer wait for the news to interview students recently out of the PAU, We hook ourselves to your reactions in Tiktok. So far, they are only the same usual realities taken to the new consumption platforms. The key is that we are starting to entertain ourselves without knowing if what we see is real or not. And it gives us absolutely the same. The reporter, the hole, and the pig. If you have opened X or Instagram in the last week you may have encountered A video that has three key elements. A reporter telling the last minute news live A couple of motorists who fall into a huge hole A pig that appears running from behind and the one pursued by the reporter The key is not in the video. It is in the conversation. Do not look for more plot, because there is not. Nor does it seem necessary to stretch the gum: this video accumulated more than one million downloads in X a few hours from its publication. And it is just the tip of the iceberg. The new YouTube. YouTube is the best example of how the culture of the video generated by AI is reaching unimaginable dimensions a few years ago. Rabbit’s Journey It is one of the strongest channels in entertainment by AI. They are simply absurd stories, in which we see stories at the level of: A rabbit is a baby in the middle of the field He is friends with a cow It takes a milk bottle He gives it to the baby and dances cheerful It ends up facing a gigantic threatening gorilla who ends up being shot by a man who passed by More than 640 visits has the video, and almost three million subscribers have the channel. Calling you “crocodile bombardino” The probabilities of success are 100%. Tum Tum Sahur. When a few days ago, at the Corpus Christi Fair of Granada I saw in the classic street post a tung tung sahur, I knew that the joke was out of hand: it had transcended outside the Internet. Tiktok fever of characters created by AI and with names as rimbombantes as Trallero Tralala, Tung Tung Sahur or Crocodile Bombardino. The tung tung videos dancing Broken 100 million downloadsabsolutely remote figures from what the most powerful youtubers in Spain are achieved in shorts such as Mikecrack either Vegeta 777. Its content? Always brief and most absurd. It is not something new. The entertainment contents by AI are beginning to end up exploding in 2025, but we have been with some most particular attempts. YouTube had to eliminate copyright (and how it was growing) the channel of Ai sponeboba channel that transmitted in 2023 spongebob contents modified by AI. WatchmeForever He has been broadcasting on Twitch for two years uninterruptedlya pixel-art channel generated with AI that accumulates more than 143,000 followers. It does not matter if it is real or not. The entertainment is consumed rapid and, the AI ​​is at a point where this consumption Fast food He doesn’t even let us think if what we are seeing is real or not. And this, deep down, has never imported. The phenomenon is similar to the rise of fake news in 2016. studies such as “The Science of Fake News” They demonstrated that false beliefs do not maintain because people believe them: they stay because people want to believe them. A good example are the millions of people who are now hooked on Olympic Games in which cats participate. Cats that, of course, do not exist. Towards the indistinguishable. Videos such as the reporter and the pig are created with the latest versions of VI, the Google video generation engine. The key here is that the interannual advance of these models is more than remarkable. Recently I could try I see 2 in Geminiwith my mobile (the latest version is I see 3), and the results were already brutal. The next generations of text to video leave us before a clear future: one in which we will have no idea whether or not the content is created by an AI, and in which it will give us absolutely the same as so.

What do we hope to see in the most “ultra” event of summer

by

It is official. Samsung will present new devices from his Galaxy family on July 9. The company He has revealed the date of his next UNPACKEDwith a word as the protagonist: Ultra. This surname, historically reserved for his Galaxy S family, aims to land in a segment that until now seemed premium enough: the folding. This is all we hope to see in the next event of the South Korean giant. When and where. July 9, Wednesday, at 4:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular. Through the Official Samsung page and his Official YouTube channelwe can continue live the presentation event of the new devices of his Galaxy family. The event will be held in Brooklyn, United States, and will be broadcast in streaming so you can follow it from anywhere in the world, as usual in the company’s events. What is expected. From a while to this part Samsung invites us to celebrate two unpacked events. The first, at the beginning of the year, is the launch of its Galaxy s. The second is reserved to announce folding mobiles. Announced the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z fold6 Last summer, we expect a renewal of both models: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 (Ultra?) Accompanying them, although with doubts on the horizon, we may have News about One UI 8. The key is that Samsung wanted Chivar that something in the event will be … The great track that Samsung gives: a much thinner galaxy z fold. Ultra. The company has not officially confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 ultrabut it is an open secret. Samsung is expected to take a jump with its folding mobiles and take them to the level of its range S ultra. Until now, the Z Fold and Z Flip have always had photographic systems below their brothers S. This may change this generation … or not. At the moment, the only thing we think is that the Z FOLD7 will be much thinner, as the company has seen. There is no news about the possible price increase that would lead to making a relevant leap in Specs on devices that were already premium. Taking into account that folding mobiles are a niche product, it is not something especially relevant. Samsung needs to keep your crown. Until recently, Samsung had barely competition in folding. But now they compete giants such as Xiaomi, Motorola, Huawei and Honor, with a view to applying their first folding in 2026. The data speak for themselves: Samsung’s growth in folding is being negativeand the thrust of Huawei in China has led him to snatch the crown. Samsung’s philosophy with its folding has been to launch a refined and continuous product, but its rivals begin to push it by overcoming it in basic aspects such as that of the folding or external screen itself. A thrust product. In a more global view, Samsung remains undisputed leader in smartphone territory, But its growth is very, very content. A global 1% year -on -year at the close of the first quarter of 2025, compared to 13% of Apple, 3% of Xiaomi and 7% live. The market barely grows and will continue to be according to predictions, but Samsung is still searching for that disruptive mobile that helps boost sales, such as showed with the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Chinese solar sector wanted to save itself from overproduction with a pact. Just managed to sink faster

by

Despite being a reference country World Cup in renewable energy, China Face a perfect storm In its solar sector: price collapse, red margins and an uncontrolled overproduction. Given this situation, more than 30 solar manufacturers agreed to stop the offer to stabilize the market, imitating the OPEC model. A kind of “Solar Cartel” in the style of oil exporting countries. It hasn’t done very well … Six months later, the result has been a disaster. Far from stabilizing, production has reached historical maximums, the facilities have tripled and losses continue to accumulate. According to Bloombergdifferent executives in the sector have publicly expressed their frustration and accuse their competitors of betraying the collective pact. OPEC style? Some of the big Chinese photovoltaic companies seem to be following the example of OPEC. As He explained Oilprice, the famous oil sign has been adjusting its production to influence global prices. The logic is clear: if the offer is limited, the price drop is contained and war between producers is avoided. Something similar is happening in the solar sector. Longi, Tongwei and Ja Solar have signed a “self -discipline” agreement under the Chinese association of the photovoltaic industry. The reason? Profitability is falling as panel prices, modules and wafers continue to fall. The pact seeks to set production fees by 2025, depending on the installed capacity and market share of each company. Chronicle of an announced death. Like Santiago Nasar at 5:30, this pact also had an inevitable ending. Unlike the oil market – dominated by state giants – the Chinese solar sector is private, fragmented and fiercely competitive. According to Bloombergthe agreement was not binding or contemplated sanctions. It was nothing more than a declaration of good intentions. And while some expected others to fulfill, many took the opportunity to gain market share producing even more. The result was excess supply, prices in free fall and sunken balances. No rules and every machine. According to Oilpricethe plan included limiting new investments, raising the technical requirements and increasing from 20% to 30% the minimum capital required for new projects. The government also implemented measures to cool the overheated sector. However, instead of containing themselves, companies intensified production so as not to lose relevance. According to data cited by Bloombergsolar facilities tripled in a year, and manufacturers have not closed or reduced operations significantly. The damage has been tangible. Longi Green Energy, one of the leaders of the sector, reported in the third quarter of 2024 a loss of 174 million dollars (1,261 million yuan), its first major fall since 2016. In the words of the company itself, collected by Oilpricelast year marked the first collective loss of the sector in almost a decade. The Chinese government has already hardened the conditions for new investments, and there are voices that ask for a firmer intervention. But the truth is that the “OPEC Solar” has failed loudly. The market remains overflowing, depressed prices and competition more wild than ever. The mirage of coordination. Try to coordinate a privatized and fragmented industry with a voluntary pact has been, as has detailed Bloomberg, an idea “condemned from the beginning.” Far from an orderly cartel, the attempt has exposed the structural weaknesses of the Chinese solar model: brutal efficiency, but without rules or firewalls. China continues to lead the world in installed capacity for renewables. But its solar manufacturing sector now faces a hard truth: in a market without discipline or referees, surviving is more difficult than producing.
