In the eyes of the DGT, a Seat Ibiza contaminates more than a Lamborghini. The government wants to end it

by

The environmental label system It is broken Practically since he was born. The labels Zero, echo, c and b They try to order from least to greater the environmental impact of the different vehicles that circulate in Spain. The problem? It is quite imprecise and leaves both manufacturers and drivers to make certain traps (never loading a PHEV, supercar with small gigantic batteries and engines, etc.). Almost ten years after its implementation, the Government of Spain will make a Tag system review. It does not rule out making deep changes in it and changing the assignment of environmental badges. Why now. Through a transactional amendment of Sumar, ERC, Bildu and BNG, included in the Sustainable Mobility Law, the Government has pledged to make a study and review of the current environmental labeling system. A period of twelve months is given for the Executive to present said study, including the proposal to review the badges. Although they have not transcended details about the modifications, which must still be studied, there are several suspects under the focus. Zero and Eco Tags . Manufacturers have been taking advantage of the necessary requirements to obtain the ECO and zero label. The first protect all vehicles hybrids with more than 40km of electrical autonomy and those vehicles that work with gas (LPG either CNG). The second to all electric and hybrids with electric autonomy of less than 40km. Many of these vehicles They don’t even rechargeand end up always working with fuel. Others directly have ridiculous autonomies in electrical mode and gigantic motors. This is the case of some Manufacturers Supercars such as Lamborghini. Huge engines with unbroken powers and minimal autonomies in electric mode. CO2 criteria. Another of the biggest problems of the distinctive system has to do with real carbon dioxide emissions. It is a criterion that is not measured directly, the system is based on euro regulations (which already reflect emissions) putting the focus on the age of the vehicle and not in how much it really pollutes. How will it be done. The Government will review the environmental label system, use CO2 emissions as an additional criteria, and focus on those polluting vehicles with ECO label. To achieve this, a joint work will be done with the Ministries of Interior, Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Industry and Commerce and Business, among others. Similarly, consultations will be made to the different autonomous communities. The changes will not be retroactive, they will only affect new registration vehicles. This new classification will only be effective in vehicles recently taken from the concessionaire, which are already in circulation will not see their label modified. The chaos with the zbe. The measure will not solve the current chaos with Las Zbe in Spain. In Granada they are mocking her by changing the registerMadrid continues to discuss their impact after The Varapalo of the Superior Court of Justiceand while Spain is still committed to this system a good part of the public transport system It was renewed with diesel fleets. With a maximum period of 12 months, the government faces one of the most complex reviews in the automobile industry. Changes will deeply affect The sale of certain cars in Spainand the criteria for considering that a vehicle is or not polluting are now in the air.

Chatgpt is taking some people to the edge of madness. Reality is less alarmist and much more complex

by

Can a conversation with Chatgpt go crazy? A recent one New York Times report It has unleashed a wave of concern about the dangers of artificial intelligence and the effect it can have on our mind. Distortion of reality, delusions and even suicides. The panorama that draws us is terrible. Are we facing a real threat or simply before a new technological panic? What happened. In an extensive report published last weekend in the New York Times, different cases are reported in which Chatgpt would have encouraged conspiracy theories and supported dangerous ideas. One of the cases they report is that of Eugene Torres, who began to talk with Chatgpt about the Simulation theory and reinforced his ideas to the point of taking him to a delusional state in which he believed to be caught in a false universe in the purest ‘Matrix’ style. They also mention the case of a man with bipolar disorder who ended up being killed by the police after a conversation with Chatgpt made him believe that he had killed the AI ​​of which he had fallen in love. They are alarming cases without a doubt and this is not the only article in this regard, although the one that has become more viral. A search returns dozens of results that tell us about risks of the use of chatbots in our mental health. You have to search for a lot to find critical positions before this wave of alarmismbecause There arealthough they don’t have so much impact. AI as a psychologist. The AI ​​is pending in many sectors and that of health is no less. In the United States the the use of chatbots of AI as therapy And more and more users are They turn to chatgpt to seek emotional refugesome up to a Substitute for the psychologist. Although the use of AI as support in the therapeutic process has positive aspects as the immediacy or the Early diagnosisthey also exist inconveniences. The lack of human bond and Excessive complacency Of this type of chatbots they do not make an alternative to a psychologist and can become especially dangerous in people suffering from some type of disorder. The magnitude of the problem. We do not have data from the people who use chatgpt with a therapeutic intention or to validate conspiracy theories, but as with any massive technology (in February of this year it had 400 million monthly users) Obviously there will be countless cases of all kinds. We cannot affirm that it is AI is the one who is directly causing these delusions or hallucinations. In fact, the situations that are being viralized have many nuances and are more complex than a simple “the fault is AI”. Chatgpt plays a role, but the photo is bigger. The same fear of always. The fear that the machines will dominate the world and end humanity is recorded over fire In popular culturebut with the arrival of AI this threat It begins to sound more feasible (Although there are experts who They consider it ridiculous). It is the same fear that has emerged with any new technology and is not something recent. Already in the nineteenth century stories of telegraphs sent messages in Morse from the hereafter. If we are going to more recent examples we have a very clear one: video games. Have been related to Matanzas in schools And they even have compared to heroin. And with mobiles it has been said for years that They cause cancer. In short, social pánicos that we have already lived many times. The danger of a too complacent. Although there is much alarmism around, we cannot rule out that there is a problem. As we said, the excessive complacency of chatbots makes it often They end up giving us reason In our ideas and this can end up being dangerous in specific cases, especially if there is any pathology behind. The truth is that some suggestions that Chatgpt gave to the people who appear in the report went far beyond simply giving reason. For example, Torres suggested that he stop taking his anxiolytics and took ketamine as a “temporal liberator of the pattern.” There are those who believe that these types of messages are intentionally. This is the case of Eliezer Yudkowsky, an American writer defender The friendly that published an extensive thread in x Where he suggested that the AI ​​”knows” what he is doing: “Whatever containing chatgpt, he knew enough about humans to know that he was aggravating someone’s madness.” What is OpenAi doing. In line with that excessive complacency, last April OpenAi withdrew an update Because his AI was being too nice and flattering and that was scaring some users. From NYT they contacted OpenAi about the statements of these users and OpenAi replied with a statement: We are observing more indications that people are creating connections or links with chatgpt. As IA is integrated into everyday life, we must address these interactions carefully. We know that Chatgpt can be more receptive and personal than previous technologies, especially for vulnerable people, which means there is more at stake. We are working to understand and reduce the ways in which Chatgpt could strengthen or involuntarily amplify existing negative behaviors.

Mediterranean waters are so hot that Spain will suffer the consequences again: more hail

by

Heat is one of the great protagonists of this advanced start of summer, but a tough competition has come out thanks to the periodic storms that continue to condition the peninsular meteorology: hail. A week ago The storms surprised with huge balls, and it seems aimed at repeating the story. A complex panorama. Summer began with an alternation between warm episodes and atmospheric instability that has given way to An even more complex situation. A “all at once” that may seem disconcerting, but that could actually make quite sense because of some atmospheric dynamics. Looking at the Mediterranean. A few days ago We pointed out that the Mediterraneanand more specifically the Western Mediterranean, was at a remarkably higher temperature than what would be normal on these dates. Something that can condition the meteorology on the mainland. Today The predictions They continue to warn of an important risk storms in areas of the west peninsular, especially inside the Valencian Community. As some experts point out, both facts may be more related to what it seems. From heat to hail. The precedent can be found in the tanizades of the summer of 2022 (some hailstorms who came to leave a deadly victim), Explain in Twitter The physicist and disseminator German JJ. The German himself was a member of the team that last year published An article In the magazine Geophysical Research Letters in which he analyzed the 2022 event and the link between the surface temperature of the Mediterranean and the hailstorms. The study showed that the appearance of Supercells It was the result of the influence of an “unprecedented” amount of available connective energy. “The intensity of the storm was influenced by the abundant atmospheric energy and the humidity of the warm sea (…). When we exclude the warm sea factor of the simulations, the hail was made smaller,” explained the team in its study. Probable, not sure. The study was the result of many months of analysis focused on the particular case of 2022. A similar effort would be necessary to confirm the relationship between the present situation of the Mediterranean and the storms we are seeing these days. “An extremely warm sea does not directly explain very virulent storms. What it does is to enhance that, under favorable atmospheric conditions, they acquire a more aggressive behavior, giving extra and quality energy,” He clarified German. Where, how and when? Faced with such a convulsa situation, the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) Maintain various notices For adverse phenomena: while in the west peninsular the predominate notices will be due to high temperatures, in the east it is the notices for rain and storms that colors the map. Today’s list of notices includes several areas in orange notice by high temperatures, which will be concentrated in the Guadalquivir Valley and surrounding areas: from the Sevillian countryside to the Cazorla region and the safe one the maximums could reach 40º.

A year ago Catalonia decided to start regulating her rentals. Now it has something that seemed impossible: lower prices

by

In a context marked by the Price climbingrecord rents and a real estate market that Start nonsense With the costs prior to the 2008 brick crisis, Catalonia wanted to break yesterday with the bullish rhetoric. Their rentals are going down. And quite clear in addition. In the region as a whole, the leases cost today, on average, 4.7% less that a year ago, a decrease that reaches 8.9% If we talk about Barcelona. With that data, the Generalitat wants to breastfeed by the First year of price regulation in the 140 tension municipalities in which the Housing Law applies. What happened? That the Generalitat of Catalonia has just done something unusual in real estate information in recent years: to use a negative sign to talk about prices. According to The data broken down By the Minister of Territory and Housing, Sílvia Paneque, the average lease It has been cheaper In the region as a whole and, in a special way, in those municipalities in which the price regulation was applied a year ago under the protection of the state law Housing How much has it dropped? The information handled by paneque is based mainly on the Bail deposits And it shows the “photo” of the Catalan real estate market throughout the first quarter of the year, which allows analyzing how prices have evolved between the beginning of 2024 and 2025. Its first conclusion is that the whole of Catalonia the middle rent has experienced a year -on -year fall of 4.7%. If we look concretely in the 140 municipalities that declared tension markets in March 2024 And in which, therefore, prices were allowed to regulate in certain cases, the descent is somewhat more pronounced: reaches 4.9%. The big surprise leaves her specifically Barcelona. There the average cost of rentals has collapsed several more points, to mark an annual fall of the 8.9%. And how do contracts evolve? That is the second surprise that has left paneque. The counselor ensures that this price drop has not arrived accompanied by a contraction of the Catalan rental market. Moreover, according to your data in the first quarter of 2025, the number of lease contracts in force in the region has increased by 3,112. “It continues to grow, which tells us that the rental park increases,” defended The leader. He release Shared by the Generalitat does not allow, yes, to assess whether the rhythm of the new leases has risen or down the last year. What the counselor clarifies is that “a large part” of the contracts that were already in force have lengthened. Or what is the same, moves are reduced. The country Precise that in the tensioning municipalities the new contracts have decreased by 22%. How do you interpret the data? “We believe that the clarification in the contracts has helped to have these good data that allow us to say that there are 11,807 more homes for rent than a year ago,” celebrate The head of Housing, who points out that the majority (7,865 contracts) are concentrated in the 140 municipalities declared tension in 2024. In the Barcelona case, during the first quarter of 2025 the total number of rental homes has increased by 423. “There are 1,202 more households for rent than a year”, Apostille The Generalitat. Why is it important? Because beyond the implications it has for the Catalan real estate market and, specifically, the landlords and tenants of the region, the data presented by Paneque shows the practical effects of the regulation of rentals and the application of the housing law released to In March of 2024. Generalitat herself wanted to emphasize a message whose interest transcends its borders. After all, Catalonia was The only community that applied the law. “The data are good and show us that containment and legislative and regulatory measures help to guarantee the right to housing on this road until reaching a public park of 15%,” insisted The counselor of the branch. Are the first data known? No. Paneque is not the first to slide that idea. In Marchwhen an exact year of the application of the rental price index in 140 municipalities of Catalonia, Minister Isabel Rodríguez already claimed that the data in the region showed that “the Housing Law works”. By then the fall of the amount of leases in Catalonia it was 3.3%. In the city, the decrease reached 6.4%. Is it all positive? No. On Tuesday, Generalitat himself shared data that show a seasonal rental boom, a formula that is normally agreed for periods below the year and It allows to dodge The norm. If in 2019 it represented just 2.1% Of the rental floors announced in Barcelona, ​​in 2023 it already meant 14.4%. And the information revealed yesterday by Paneque suggests that they have gained weight in the community real estate market. The data handled by the Generalitat shows that 2,242 contracts Temporary of the first quarter of 2024 has passed, during the same period of 2025, to 3,415. In other words: the formula has experienced has increased considerable, from 52%, in just one year, gaining weight among the new contracts. During the first three months of last year, 6.1% of the new agreements signed in Catalonia were adjusted to that temporary modality. At the start of 2025 they already represented 11%. Aware of that accelerated boom, the Generalitat It has been proposed Limit prices in those seasonal rentals that have residential use, a decision that the Generalitat creates more justified than ever. And the rest of the contracts? The counselor He celebrated yesterday That the new regulatory framework and price regulation offer more stability to tenants by now having the great less incentive to get their homes to the rental market. “We are seeing that a large part of the contracts in force are extending their duration, which translates into the reduction of extinguished and, therefore, in greater stabilization,” Highlight. His statement is however some nuances. Shortly after the new regulation in the 140 Catalan municipalities … Read more

The most surreal is not that a Patricia Fernández has supplanted another Patricia Fernández in the Royal House: it is her flight forward

by

A confusion of identities that seems out of a classic comedy of briefcases, portzos and persecutions, and that in principle might seem anecdotal, has become the most attentive Internet soil at the fauna influencer. The reason not the reputation of those involved, nor the ultimate reason after confusion, but the posterior reaction of one of them. A reaction that perhaps says quite a lot about how the sector is mounted. The mess. Last Friday, the 40th anniversary of the Signature of the Spanish and Portugal Adhesion Treaty to the European CommunityEvent through which both countries entered what today is the European Union. King Felipe VI and Pedro Sánchez were present at the event. Among the guests was the content creator Patricia Fernándezspecialized in culture, human rights and the European Union (more than 200,000 followers, from now on Patricia 1). However, the event was another Patricia Fernández, influencer that focuses its posts on issues related to lifestyle, fashion and decoration (almost 2 million followers, Patricia 2 hereinafter). The Royal House was to blame. The cause of confusion is very simple: as both creators are called the same, the Royal House was confused by sending the invitations. The curious thing about the situation is that Patricia 2 did not find especially strange to invite him to such an event, but he enjoyed it and even chatted for a while with the king. Patricia 1 has counted on their networks His point of view about the situation: “I have not wanted to speak before because, above all, I am a journalist. I wanted to talk to the primary source, which has already told me the error; they have apologized.” And the thing is still more complicated with the arrival of a Patricia 3. In Xataka Lola Lolita’s controversy and the 4,000 euros bag reveals something else: influencers have stopped having normal lives This third Patricia Fernández is Patricia Fernández VicensSpanish lawyer specialized in childhood, situations of social exclusion and migrations, and National Human Rights Award in 2022. Although it is a more notorious possibility to have been present at the act, the truth is that the invitation was for a influencer So, for now we stayed with the option of Patricia 1. “The statement has been worse than usurpation.” What has really caught the attention of networks It has been the reaction to the erroneous guestand that justified his presence in the event in the most pilgrim form: “I have created content for Europe and about sustainability and I was also born in 1985, the same in which the Spanish adhesion treaty was signed to European communities.” He also affirms that “human rights I do it phenomenal because I don’t get into anyone, I respect everyone (…) not to incite bullying, not destroy the image of a person, not insult, all that kind of thing also has a lot to do with human rights.” {“Videid”: “X8CVU8H”, “Autoplay”: True, “Title”: “How to eliminate a Tiktok account forever”, “Tag”: “Webedia-Prod”, “Duration”: “184”}} Patricia 2 also states that “given this uncomfortable done, I have also made my checks with the royal house and what is informed of my invitation was correct and that they were delighted to receive me, in addition to sending me a big hug for seeing me wrapped in this controversy without meaning.” Of course, commentators in networks They have been primed in error And in his refusal to recognize that there was perhaps a more appropriate Patricia Fernández for the event. The bonfire of vanities. For years, more or less since the profession of influencer He settled without problems in public normalitywe know that the dynamics of the popular content creators are based on APPEAR A STATUSa social status or a rise. Something with An unattainable point that make them desirable for his followers, and that generates situations as absurd as Anna Allen, the actress who invented for their social networks that had attended the Oscars, pure dynamic of desire to give carnaza to their fans. In Xataka The Prado Museum closed its doors so that Dua Lipa could create content. That has generated a furious debate In this context it is in which confusions such as the two (or three) Patricia Fernández are given: an event in the Royal House is an exhibition, which is the currency of change of social networks, and there we have two Influencers fighting in the post, no matter how much one of the two seems unquestionably more appropriate than another to appear. A situation that brings the grief due to the confusion of the royal house and that leads us to the usual question: is it worth in exchange for a Care space in an account of only a few seconds?

Israel’s great goal in his war against Iran is to destroy Fordow. And you can only get it with a bomb that has USA

by

It happened a few hours ago and American media They are taking it on their covers. Trump and Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke on the phone. It is not clear what they said, but the call occurred while the president has been considering a distant option: that the United States intervenes directly in the Israel’s efforts for damaging the nuclear capacity From Iran. In the background, an idea that was intuited from the beginning of the conflict: the only way to reach Fordow was Through Washington. A key decision. On a day that could define the rest of its presidency, Trump faces one of the decisions more transcendental Of his mandate: or not to the Israel War against Iran. After returning from the G7 summit in Canada, the president held a high -level meeting and talked directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While, In your social networks He proclaimed that the United States had “total control of Iranian airspace,” warned Supreme Leader Ali Jameneí who was an “easy white” and demanded an “unconditional surrender”, without defining the terms. Although until recently Trump had advocated a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear program, his rhetoric and his most recent military movements (such as the deployment of bombers and Naval destroyers) suggest that this direct intervention is seriously considering. The change of posture. Had the New York Times In an extensive report how that turn to action in Washington’s position has been brewing. Throughout the last weeks, Trump has traveled from diplomatic containment to a growing acceptance of the military road to the Iranian challenge, largely pushed by the constant pressure of the Israeli prime minister, Netanyahu. While Trump tried to keep negotiations with Tehran (even sending A personal letter Ayatolá Jamenei and presenting nuclear cooperation proposals with regional participation), American intelligence began to warn that Israel He planned an attack Imminent against the Iranian nuclear program, with or without the support of Washington. Israel and pressure. The Times explained That Netanyahu, tired of years of containment by successive US presidents, seemed willing to launch a large offensive, not only on nuclear facilities, but potentially on the Iranian regime itself. This direct threat, added to the growing Trump skepticism Regarding the Iranian will to reach a real agreement, it caused an inflection: although at the beginning it rejected deliver the antibunker bombs requested by Netanyahu, the president ended up offering support in intelligence and now even values ​​the use of b-2 bombers and heavy armament against Fordowhe heart Underground Iranian nuclear enrichment. Symbolic weight. It is the other leg that explains the turn of events. It is not only a product of intelligence reports or impatience to stagnant negotiations, but also symbolic and media weight of the Israeli attacks and the role that Trump You want to project before its base: that of a strong, decisive and protective leader of Israel’s interests. Gathered with their advisors at Camp David, the media have counted that the President debated various optionsfrom passivity to total implication, and opted for a Intermediate strategy that would allow him to maintain a certain political distance while offering operational support. However, as Israel He obtained tactical victories (Including the murder of Iranian military leaders and the possible penetration in Natanz’s facilities), Trump began to change his public position, hinting at a more active role in the United States in the campaign. The goal. Because the key, againis in Fordow, the Iranian uranium enrichment center excavated under a mountain, a fortress that could only be destroyed by a name: the gigantic GBU-57 pumpsthat only B-2 can launch. The possibility of attacking with this arsenal, added to the perception that Israel cannot destroy underground installation without US support, feeds the sensation of imminence. MOP underground at White Sands Missile Range before his first explosion test in 2007 The bomb that drills mountains. Thus, and in the midst of a conflict that does nothing but grow, the potential role of the United States in an air operation against Iranian nuclear facilities brings to stage one of the most feared and less used artifacts of the US arsenal: the GBU-57A/B. Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 13,600 kilos bomb Designed to do precisely what its name indicates: to penetrate deeply into the earth and destroy underground fortifications. Unlike conventional mass dispersion pumps, MOP is a precision weapon, not saturation. Its forged steel structure and its guide by GPS allow it excavate up to 60 meters in solid rock (or even more, after years of improvements not revealed) before detonating in the heart of bunkers, tunnels or underground laboratories designed to resist the apocalypse. It is not the volume. Although it is the explosive non -nuclearly heavy of the US military inventory, its effectiveness does not depend on the destructive volume, but on its surgical capacity to eliminate what is beyond the reach of any other pump. Despite its devastating potential, it has never been used in combat, but its deployment is contemplated only for missions that alter the global strategic balance. B-2’s first public flight in 1989 19 B-2. And here appears the other fundamental leg of the strategy of this deterrent pump. The MOP cannot be launched from any aircraft. Only the B-2 Spiritthe stealthy strategic bomber of the United States Air Force has the structural and technological capacity to load it and deliver it in the target. With just 19 operational units (a good part parked On Diego García Island), The B-2 is not a bomber: it is a platform designed to go far, avoid radars and attack in depth, literally. In the past, these devices have flown round trip missions of more than 30 hours From Misuri until Libya or Kosovowithout scales except reposses in the air. Plus: the Recent updates to the MOP system they have sought to perfect the Integration between bomb and planein addition to improving the capacity of the intelligent spolet to detect structural “empty” (floors, cameras, tunnels) and exploit exactly at the most … Read more

We have cheap dough chatbots, and ultra -premium products for the elite

by

A 200 euro mobile normally does everything you need. A mobile of 1,000 euros simply makes it faster and better. A 25,000 euros car takes you perfectly from one place to another. But experience is different and better in a 60,000 car. Contemporary economy has taught us how life can work at two speeds. And with AI is happening exactly the same. AI at the balance price. Yesterday Deepmind announced The availability of Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite, a reasoning model “for those looking under cost and latency.” It is not Google’s most powerful model, much less, but it is one thing: cheap. Costs Between three and six times less than its standard model, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and that makes more than ever a clear trend. Welcome to the McDonalization of the AI. Since the AI ​​models began to be marketed, we were seeing how we had a two -speed AI. On the one hand, free or very cheap chatbots –even local– With “minced meat” models for the big masses. On the other, the superpotent and capable chatbots, the most advanced and also the most expensive. Free and ia at $ 250 per month. That division was enlarging over time. AI plans of $ 20 per month have already become “middle range” plans for users. Now we are living a clear phenomenon in which if you want the best, you will have to pay a lot for it. The most advanced models of Openai and Google They cost 200 and $ 250 per month respectively. Before we had super -premium mobiles. Now we have overemium. Free AI is still (very) good. The most striking thing is that this McDonalization of AI is not bad at the moment. Free models, those who use the vast majority of users, They are fantastic for many scenarios And they fully meet their needs. Here we have benefited from an ultracompetitive market: AI companies have had to offer better benefits on their free platforms so that we would not run to use others that did the same for free or cheaper. The cost per million tokens (in dollars) has not stopped falling for two years. He will continue to do so. Source: Epoch AI (click on the image to access the interactive graph). And the AI ​​will continue to be reduced. A few days ago OpenAi The price of O3 was cut by 80% and offered its advanced version, O3 Pro. The latter is an even more capable model, but it is also 10 times more expensive than the standard O3 model. It is intended for very specific users who get all the juice to these models with very detailed prompts and contexts. O3 Pro is not helpful for typical consultations (often not too specific) that we do in Chatgpt, for example. That tendency to the reduction of AI is constant. But also more expensive. The opposite is also true: the cost of inference does not stop lowering, but access to the best models could be further increased. Especially if, as the companies that offer them look like they propose them as substitutes for human employees. Sam Altman already pointed out that an agent of the hyperavanzado with the ability of a human doctorate will not leave for 200, but for $ 20,000 per month. But if you meet expectations – and as always, maximum uncertainty here, Altman is a specialist in generating Hype-, that AI will be able to do the job of many employees, and also do so constantly, 24/7. The price of exclusivity. We are also seeing how these ultra -premium models are those that give access to characteristics that consume many resources, such as Spectacular capacity Video generation of Vist 3. although it is possible to generate a few videos with the “mid -range” accounts of Google (Google Ai Pro, 21.99 euros/month), to use that option much less limited we can sign up for the Google Ai Ultra Plan, 250 euros per month. Maybe 250 euros a month is a bar. We can consider that paying 20, 200 or 250 euros per month for accessing an advanced AI model is somewhat absurd considering that free models are already very good. However, there is another overwhelming reality: those advanced payment models can be an absolute bargain. If you produce double or do your work in half of time, what are 20 euros per month, or even 250? It all depends on how you squeeze them, of course. As said Javier Recuenco (@recuenco), Author and academic: “Something that takes away 80% of the work and that lets you do what you are good, that cool you and what you are good? Please give me more.” Supply and demand. Alberto Romero, author of the Newsletter ‘The Algorithmic Bridge’, I reflected weeks ago About that potential gap. As in the rest of the market industries, for it OpenAi and the rest of the companies of AI will operate in the market “with the only rule that matters, that of supply and demand.” Winners and losers of the AI. But it is also true that That for the poor and for rich will cause A new digital gap. Those who can pay the best AI models can do more things and better – if they really take out the juice – than those who only have access to free or cheap models. There will be no equal opportunities for each other. We could see something like that with access to promising AI agentswhich will be especially intensive in resource consumption but theoretically they will also do many things for us autonomously … but not those who cannot pay for them. In Xataka | The AI ​​race seemed to be matching. Openai has just hit the table with a model that points very high

A fifth of Apple’s annual benefit is at risk of disappearing overnight

by

Apple had a big week a few days ago with the WWDC 2025. His most important event of the year, with the permission of the presentation of the iPhone, caught him at a critical moment for the turbulence crossed by AI, but resolved with a much more solid presentation than we expected. At 4,500 kilometers from there, a Washington judge deliberated about a decision that could be a drama for the company’s finances. Amit Mehta, the magistrate, He is studying to prohibit the payments that Google makes to Apple for keeping him as a default search engine in Safari. Why is it important. That check amounts to 20,000 million dollars a year and represents 20% of the income of Apple’s ‘services’ division, the second most important. And being a clean income, without operational costs, also represents around 20% of Apple’s annual net profit. The background. Mehta already ruled that Google violates antitrust laws With these agreements, preventing other competitors from accessing the privileged position in Safari. Now consider several measures to correct this, from forcing Google to share data with rivals to force Chrome’s sale as an independent product. Eliminate the agreement with Apple It would be very direct. There is a reading between the lines to the agreement: it is the form that Google has to deter Apple that it throws its own search engine. A direct and large payment that compensates for giving up its vertical integration. In figures: Apple’s services grew from 85,000 to 96,000 million in 2024. Without the agreement with Google, I would suddenly lose a fifth of its annual net benefit. There is no short -term alternative to replace 20,000 million with 100% gross margin. The threat. Precisely that: not finding a substitute that approaches what Google pays. No one monetizes searches in such a massive and efficient way. It seems very unlikely that Microsoft dedicates such a check to boost bing. And the scale is far from Openai’s possibilities, which already loses a lot of money a year to risk an amount that does not have in position yourself as a search engine. Yes, but. A final judicial decision could take years to materialize. The cause, of course, are the appeals. The judge has anticipated that eliminating the agreement would be a last resort if other measures do not work. And Google will also challenge any resolution that arises from the process. Between the lines. For Google, losing the default position in Safari would not be ideal, but financially would win by recovering those 20,000 million annually. Apple, on the other hand, would lose its main growth engine just when you need it most to reduce its dependence on the iPhone. The following if you reach a stage like this would be a very likely Apple’s own search engine with which to try to create a 20,000 million business a year … or as close as possible.
