by

This Saturday will take place at the Cartuja in Seville The evening 5one of the events of the year in the world streamer. Ibai Llanos, its headquarters, has converted the annual boxing event between Streamers and Influencers in an event that hitting monitoring records Not only live, but also on Twitch. Therefore, the platform has decided to reward him. Twitch recognizes it. The four million simultaneous spectators that had The 4 evening on Twitchand that may be matched or surpassed this year they have provided this new edition an improvement in the transmission. Ibai said in his Instagram stories That “it makes me very excited” and showed that “you see all the categories, all the categories of League of Legends, chatting, Valorant, special events …”, until finally revealed that “we have Our own category On Twitch of the evening of the year, what madness. If someone is going to talk about the evening, you are going to react to a video, you are going to make predictions, this is the category. “ History of a phenomenon. What began in 2021 as a friendly challenge between content creators, Reven and ElMillor, has transcended expectations, becoming the most important phenomenon of digital entertainment in Spanish. The first edition had limited access to public characters from the entertainment world, but got 1.5 million simultaneous spectators on the Internet. The evolution has been meteoric: the evening has been jumping to increasingly large stages, and Already in its third edition it was the most watched event In the history of the platform. The fourth edition beat the record again. In just four years, Ibai Llanos has converted an experiment among friends into an event that rivals the most important sporting events in Spain, generating an average of more than one million spectators and reflecting the great entertainment power in Livestreaming, whose limits continues to stretch year after year. It has all the meaning that Twitch has decided to reward him. Rounding benefits. The evening is also the main economic catalyst in the Spanish streaming industry.

The impact on the advertising market is equally forceful: the first three editions doubled the number of sponsors compared to the previous year, with brands such as Alsa and Grefusa GEneruming more than 15,000 interactions each on social networks. Ibai entrepreneur. And the definitive leg to generate all this amount of benefits is Ibai Llanos himself, which with the evening 5 culminates his transformation From modest Lol narrator in 2014 with income of 30 euros per month to independent entrepreneur that Record the brand “The evening of the year” alone. The key point of this conversion was in 2020 when left his contract with G2 eSports To undertake as an independent creator, a decision that allowed him to negotiate a special agreement with Twitch, obtaining 80% of the profits of his channel, something that few that few Streamers international have achieved. In February 2024 Created Velaris-Kena Productions slcompany of which he is a unique partner, marking his definitive break with Gerard Piqué and assuming the total control of his projects. The fact that the evening has its own category in a giant like Twitch is just one more detail, but one that certifies to what extent Ibai has become an essential presence to understand the industry of the streaming. In Xataka | Ibai is going to launch its own football team to start from the lowest. There is actually a very thoughtful strategy

In 2011 Japan promised herself not to bet on nuclear energy. Until he ran into reality

by

In April 2023 the Japanese government approved a new legislation in nuclear energy that allows to extend the operation of nuclear plants beyond the current limit, which It is established in 60 years. In practice this simply means that if a nuclear plant can operate safely beyond those six decades, the regulation allows you to do so. In this new context the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant has ahead A promising future. And it has it because in December 2023 the Japanese nuclear organism, the NRA (Nuclear regulation authority), he raised the veto he imposed on this installation in March 2011, shortly after the accident of Fukushima Daiichi’s nuclear power plant. If we stick to the installed power this plant housed in the town of Niigata, northwest of Tokyo (Japan), it is The largest nuclear power plant on the planet. It is managed by the Tepco company (Tokyo Electric Power Company), which is the third largest electricity company on the planet, and incorporates seven boiling water reactors that are able to jointly deliver more than 8,200 MWE. Security is the most important thing, and after what happened in Fukushima, the NRA decided to withdraw the operation license until Tepco could implement in this installation the new security measures derived from what you learned in 2011. Japan is contemplating nuclear energy with very different eyes The Japanese government is determined to get Japan measured from you to you with the main powers of The semiconductor industry. And of course it is not an unattainable ambition. In fact, some of the companies with the greatest specific weight in the industry of lithography equipmentlike Tokyo Electron, Canon or Nikon, they are Japanese. “We are working with our clients to develop technologies that teach four generations in the future.” This Declaration of Nobuto DoiVice President of Tokyo Electron, is a declaration of intentions. Japan’s strategy does not only require reinforcing its presence in the integrated circuit industry; It also bets on tuning a large number of data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, has confirmed that your company will put about in Japan a network of specialized data centers in AI. In addition, Huang has anticipated that this infrastructure will deploy from the hand of Japanese companies. All this sounds very good, but it has a high cost in energy terms and the Japanese government has not overlooked it. In 2050 Japan will need to have increased its electricity generation capacity between 35 and 50% In fact, its current electrical infrastructure would be unable to serve semiconductor factories and data centers for AI that will arrive in the future. The Japanese administration has recognized that in 2050 it will need to have increased its electricity generation capacity between 35 and 50%. It is not negligible, of course. In addition, your plan also has to face the decarbonization of your energy system to which you have committed. Today Japan’s fossil fuel supply depends largely on the Middle East, which led to the approval of a law that promotes investment in decarbonization by a total of a total of some some 962,000 million dollars. The Japanese government has confirmed that its strategy to solve the energy needs that it will have within two decades requires betting on the latest photovoltaic cells that They incorporate Perovskitasby floating wind turbines that are installed in the sea, and also for nuclear energy. In fact, during the next few years many of the nuclear power plants that were deactivated after Fukushima will return to operation, and, in addition, Japan will build new nuclear power plants equipped with fourth generation reactors. The project of this closest type in time is led by the Kansa Electric Power company because plan to resume studies They precede the construction of a new nuclear reactor in its Mihama plant, housed in Fukui prefecture, west of Tokyo. If this project will be consolidated as the first nuclear reactor that is built in Japan after Fukushima disaster in 2011.

‘The fantastic 4 is the most disappointing superheroes saga in the history of cinema. And the first criticisms are not optimistic

by

‘The fantastic four: first steps’ is more than An essential film for Marvel: After some box office failures and a doubtful future, the company is at a point where the success or failure of this new installment of its superhero adventures can mark many future decisions. The previous trajectory of Marvel’s first family in cinemas does not give much hope, so this summer will be for Disney as essential as It is being for Warner. A delicate moment. Why do we say that Marvel is at a key point? They have had a 2024 of Impasse: They just released a movie, ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’that although it was a Great box office successdoes not easily fit into the continuity of the house, that is, it does not “guarantee” future successes, as the “you will continue” of the first phases did. In 2025, Marvel has stumbled upon two films that have worked halfway at the box office, ‘Captain America: Brave New World‘ and ‘Thunderbolts‘And, in part, they frustrate the future of the house (its most emblematic hero, new avengers …) At this point, the success of’ The Fantastic 4 is vital for the company. What comes next. The fantastic four supposes many things, and we do not speak only of a welcome and healthy turn in the aesthetics and the tone that the MCUy asked from the moment it premiered ‘Endey me‘. It also opens doors to the future, to the next Avengers and, of course, to the hopeful ‘Doomsday‘with which The Russo return to Disney. It has already been leaked that ‘the fantastic 4’ includes direct references to that future in which Marvel is putting all his wait, so he will also serve to test the real interest of the public, beyond Soponcios in the Comic-Con. What came before. The fact is that the previous history of the fantastic 4 in cinema feeds, in part, the expectation. As much as they are the groups of key heroes of the House of Ideas (well above the Avengers), they have not had luck in the past, for both reasons. Roger Corman produced An absolutely disastrous version that it was not released in cinemas and whose intrahistory is much more interesting than the film itself. At the beginning of the century two films arrived (one of them also adapting the arrival of Galactus to Earth) that were not bad but were something generic and forgettable, and whose only legacy seems to have been the chance of Qiue Chris Evans, future captain America, gave life to human torch. Finally, in 2015 we had another version, also with very interesting details, also with fateful results and that has again A more stimulating intrahistory than the film itself. And what is looking like. The film reaches the screens today, but we can access the first impressions of the press: it has a very positive 89% in Rotten Tomatoes and a somewhat more discreet 65 in Metacritic. They are, to begin with, scores much higher than those of the previous films of the characters, which suspended in all cases on both platforms (some of them as abysmal as the 2015 version, which has 9% in Rotten Tomatoes, being the Marvel film with the lowest score in history). Thus, In Variety They say that the film says it is “just what is needed to recover the public that suffers superhero exhaustion.” In Screen Rant They claim that Marvel Vuyelve “to the basics: a solid superhero film, with a lot of heart, but with little spectacular.” And Empirethat “with an exemplary cast and a brilliant new alternative universe to enjoy, this is the best movie of the fantastic four so far. And if that standard seems too low, then it is also the best Marvel movie in years.” With nuances. There are, however, some clouds on the horizon. ‘Thunderbolts’, despite its disappointing box office, has a comparable score in Rotten Tomatoes (89%), and surpasses it in Metacritic with a 68. In fact, ‘the fantastic 4’ does not even enter into The best valued Marvel Top 10 In Rotten Tomatoes, which only includes films above 90%. Data that, without a doubt, have nothing to do with their performance at the box office, but they give away what can be the Marvel Achilles heel: we may not be facing an infallible film. For example, Our Espinof companions They claimed that “throughout the second act the film becomes a Space Opera Moral that slows down the thrilling rhythm of the beginning “and put the character of Estela Silver, which” has a tiny character arc and a sudden evolution that cuts the film dry. “Despite everything, the general impression on the film was positive and” reminds us why we fell in love with Marvel. “The only way to dissipate these doubts will be attending the rooms.

In the Middle Ages the Child Jesus was represented as an “old baby.” The reason still fascinates experts

by

It is not necessary to be a scholar, or have an eye trained in the study of medieval art. Soon you are familiar with the Christian iconography of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries or have seen any of the Religious altarpieces That they painted themselves in Europe at that time, you are likely to ask yourself a question: why do they show the Child Jesus like this, ugly, aged, touched? And ugly, aged and touched are three adjectives that probably fall short for not a few of the medieval portraits that represent Jesus in their early years, in Mary’s arms. Where there should be a child in his most tender childhood we find a creature with wrinkles, incipient baldness and the expression of a philosopher submerged in brave reflections. The most curious thing is that they are not due to lack of expertise of artists. They are anything but childish because that is what was sought. Portraits of the child? Jesus. There are examples to bore. Paolo Veneziano, Duccio di Buoninasegna, Massaccio, Giotto… If something has in common their representations of the Virgin and the Child Jesus, beyond having painted them between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries and always represent the same religious characters, it is how they did. They were supposed to represent a young woman with her newborn son or only a few years, but what came out of her brushes was very different: “old children”, creatures not very healthy who seem sexagenarians about to sign retirement. Instead of angelic faces, they created incipient baldness heads, wrinkles and expressions that evoke anything except the idea of childhood. And to show a button. Or several. Arrives with a look at the child Jesus of ‘Crevole Madonna’ (1283-1284), by Duccio Di Buoninasegna who looks at you from the right side of the cover image. Or this other painted by Giotto At the beginning of the fourteenth century and observes you with an equally intense expression under these lines. Detail of ‘Maestà di Ognissanti’, by Giotto, the beginning of the fourteenth century. Lack of expertise? That is the first explanation that comes to mind: if they painted the Child Jesus of that guise, maybe it was because of the ability of those who handled the brushes. The reality is much more complex … and fascinating. “These ugly babies were very intentional,” Phil Edwards explains in Vox Magazine. They were more or less skilled, when drawing the face of Jesus the painters were guided by conventions, an assimilated and shared code and a cultural background that in this case affected both the idea of childhood and especially that of the Child Jesus himself. In fact, one of the keys that help us understand these pieces is that medieval artists did not seek to faithfully capture reality. If their babies are not realistic it is because they were not interested in realism. The message matters, not fidelity. “The strangeness we see in medieval art is due to the lack of interest in naturalism. They were more inclined to expressionist conventions,” Matthew Averett recountsProfessor at Creighton. Each painter handled their own brushes and paintings, true; But in a context that influenced his works. They were the creators, but they resorted to a language and clear conventions. “The idea of artistic freedom to represent these people as one would have been new,” he adds. “Art was not interested in naturalism, but rather in the theological expression,” emphasize in The conversation Angela McCarthy, from the University of Notre Dame Australia. And that does not notice only in the aspect with which the Child Jesus was portrayed. In Western art theology also influenced COMPOSITIONS: Jesus usually appears sitting with a mature or diaper posture. “The latter was an attempt to represent the biblical references to a child wrapped in diapers or the shroud placed on Jesus after his death,” Apostille McCarthy. Detail of a representation of the Child Jesus of the mid -14th century of Paolo Veneziano. Do not say a child, give better “homunculus”. If there is a word that helps to understand those disturbing “children-man” who rest in Maria’s lap and look at us from the medieval tables is that: homunculus, which means “Little Man”. The Child Jesus was after all a child, but not anyone. McCarthy recalls that his artistic representation with Mary began to expand after the Council of Ephesus, in 431, and not much later, in 451, another council was held in Chalcedon that would be key to the representations of the Child Jesus: “Part of the interpretation that the Church made of the Council was that Jesus was fully human and divine. Some theologians interpreted that this meant that this meant that this was fully formed. with knowledge of his divinity “, reveals The expert of the University of Notre Dame Australia: “This was difficult to represent in art and hence the name of the child.” “Perfectly formed”. What we observe in the Middle Ages altarpieces is therefore not a simple (more or less realistic) representation of a child with his mother. No. The message is more complex … and rich. It shows us an idea of the Jesus Child influenced by Christian theology and certain conventions. And in which that concept, the “homunculus.” “There is the idea that Jesus was perfectly formed and unchanged”, Remember Averett“And if you combine that with Byzantine painting, it became a standard form to represent Jesus. In some of these images it seems that he had baldness with an adult pattern.” Good example is the child who observes you from the left side of the composition that opens this report. The image is taken from ‘Madonna Della Pace’an icon that, as they remember from the Santi Giovanni E Paolo Basilica, was donated to the Dominicans by a senator who took him from Constantinople in the mid -fourteenth. “In the eastern orthodox tradition, from approximately the sixth century to the present, the child Jesus looks like a little man,” McCarthy abounds.

Google’s summaries are reducing clicks to half. And that only points in one address: the collapse

by

There is a runrún that runs through digital media writings around the world. The editors look at their traffic metrics with a face of concern while they see how Google, which has been being mainly mainly to attract readers between SEO and Discover, has now become its greatest rival. And now, A PEW Research Center study It puts figures to what many already intuited: Google’s summaries are sweeping with a good part of the web traffic. In addition, it is not a recoverable traffic, it is traffic that will never return. Why is it important. We are facing the balance that has been holding the Internet for decades. Google sent traffic to the websites … … that, in return, created content that fed the search engine. It was a symbiotic ecosystem: the search engine made sense by the websites, the websites received traffic from the search engine. Now only Google wins. When the Ai overViews26% of users directly leave their search session, compared to 16% in traditional searches. The AI becomes the final destination, not to the starting point. The result will be paradoxical: Many digital media and independent websites will close due to lack of traffic. That will leave Google with less content for Your AI summaries and to train future models. The golden egg chicken, dead to pecks. In figures. The numbers are devastating. Only 8% of searches with the summary of AI generate clicks to web pages, compared to 15% when Google shows only traditional results. And just 1% of users click on the sources cited within the AI summary itself. The study tracked the online activity of 900 American adults during March 2025. More than half (58%) ran into a search that produced an automatically generated summary. The context. The Ai overViews They appear in one in five Google searches. Long consultations, formulated as questions or written in complete phrases are more likely to activate these automatic summaries. The sources that most quote the AI remain the usual: Wikipedia, YouTube and Reddit concentrate 15% of all appointments. Between the lines. Google faces an inevitable strategic dilemma. If it does not evolve towards smarter experiences, it runs the risk of losing relevance against PerplexityChatgpt and other competitors that give direct answers. But this evolution generates a paradox: the company feeds on the content that others create, while its tools of eliminating economic incentives to continue creating that content. Web editors report traffic falls from 15% to 35% since these summaries were generalized. So far there was a balance, but it is increasingly broken. The big question. How will the web content creation ecosystem support when traditional incentives disappear? The summaries of AI need updated information to work, but are eroding the business models that make that creation possible. Corrective measures are already beginning to appear: OpenAI has signed license agreements with various mediaand Google is valuing similar formulas. But the consequences of the problem come much faster than these solutions. A foreseeable scenario: formulas will end up balance the balance. But they cannot prevent the ecosystem from being reduced, with means closing or reducing their templates. It is the market, friend. Yes, but. Google doesn’t see it that way And ensures that AI Overviews “help understand complex topics faster” and continue “directing billions of daily clicks.” He has described PEW’s study as “methodologically defective.” However, the trend is unanimously perceived in the industry. Google is completing its transformation: to be the great web traffic distributor to become the final destination where the information is consumed without ever leaving its domains. It is the logical evolution of a search engine in 2025, but also the end of an era for the web ecosystem as we knew it. In Xataka | Google continues to redesign its search engine with AI.

Banar him without returning the money

by

Cody “Clix” Conrad ranks 16 on the list of Twich streamers with more followersin whose Top 10 we find Spanish characters such as Ibai Llanos, Auronplay, Rubius and Thegrefg. While broadcastingLucaslev (LZL11) called Discord a 15 -year -old who had spent $ 35,000 on donations that month. The thing ended badly for the teenager: Baneado of his channel. “It’s addictive.” While he was interrogated to questions about the reason for such high donations, Lucas said that this year he had earned $ 18,000 investing in shares. When asked why, if he could need money for other things, Lucas said that for him it was like “spreading love”, and that Dopamina released when they said his name, recognizing that “it is addictive” to spend money. He told the streamer “that honestly I just wanted to get your attention to add me in Fortnite, that’s all.” Rich parents, minor consequences. Lucas replied that his parents had a stable financial situation, (rich, in other words) and that he was going to stop spending on Twitch because a few days before Father learned of the expense he had done on the platform and “it was bothered.” As? Using his card, but that was in his father’s name, because he had no age to open it. Despite the father’s advice, Lucas continued donating Clix during the stream. Click the image to access the publication. Hypocrisy. Clix spent the conversation giving good advice to Lucas, as the money should be kept for him and for more important things. At one point, it seemed that I was going to make a reimbursement of money, because he said he did not want to “encourage reimbursements, but”. However, after asking the child to love him with sending more money, he said he was going to send it to him. There ended the call and threw him out of the channel. Of course, without returning the money. After that, he continued playing Fortnite, asking for subscriptions to older people. Why it is important. The problem with donations comes from afar. We had more and more people addicted to donate on Twitch. Jen Herranz “opened the melon” stating that there were real people who had a problem, a kind of modern “ludopathy”, and came to ask people to stop giving him subs On the channel. After the broadcast of a Jordi Évole interview with Ibai, An anonymous mother counted that his son stole his father’s card (with financial problems) and spent 600 euros on subscriptions. Ibai He came to talk about the subjectsaying “Subscribe to a channel only if you can afford it. ‘Do not spend money you need on any Twitch channel. If you are going to steal the card your father or your grandmother to donate, do not do it. Many times we have put in touch with the people who have given us many subscriptions to see if they were aware of what they had donated. If you are a millionaire, it seems good to me. What does Twitch say. In his Guide for parents and educatorsthe company explains that children under 13 They can’t use Twitchand details measures to prevent problems and prevent children from accessing content not suitable for their age range. They also mention “Donations” Common on the platform, but do not stop the problem of children who donate huge amounts of money, such as that of the child that donated $ 11,000 to kai dinnerTy Thousands of subs to Cazeah.

NASA lost the best camera in Jupiter. A suicide plan has served to recover it successfully

by

It seemed the premature end of the mission. The Junocam, the camera that has given us the most spectacular images of Jupiter and his moons, was dying. The relentless radiation of the gaseous giant had degraded the sweat sensor Juno turning his photos into a noise knead and corrupt lines. We had to try. With an overfruit of the moon ío just around the corner, the NASA team played the whole for the whole with a risky maneuver: cook the camera slowly at 600 million kilometers away to try to repair it. Although all at the control center endured breathing, the play worked. And not only that, but the miraculous rescue has sat a precedent for future space missions. Jupiter’s best photographer. Trying it was worth it because Junocam is not any camera. Is responsible for those Jupiter images that seem impressionist paintings and that, curiously, they are prosecuted by a community of fans on Earth. But its location is priced: it is out of titanium “bunker” that protects the main electronics of the Juno probe. NASA engineers knew that their useful life would be limited in one of the most radioactive environments of the solar system. The Calvary of the Junocam. The juno probe, that arrived in Jupiter in July 2016was designed to last until 2018, but its success has led NASA to extend the mission several times. During the first 34 orbits, Junocam worked perfectly. From orbit 47, radiation ravages began to be evident. For orbit 56, in November 2023, the situation was critical. “Almost all the images were corrupt,” admits NASA In a statement. The planet Jupiter and the moon ío photographed by Juno before and after repair A repair to all or nothing. Diagnosing the failure of a component at millions of kilometers is a titanic task. Repairing is a miracle. The clues pointed to a damaged voltage regulator at the camera power supply. With few options, the team resorted to a process called annealing or Annealing. The idea was, in essence, to heat the material and then cool it slowly, with the hope that heat would repair microscopic defects at the atomic level. “The annealing can sometimes alter a material such as silicon at the microscopic level, but we did not know if this would solve the damage,” explains Jacob Shaffner, chamber engineer. Forged on fire. NASA sent a command to Juno so that the only heater in the Junocam raised its temperature at about 25 ° C, much more than usual. The result was a success … temporary. The camera sent sharp images for several orbits. But Jupiter does not forgive. As the probe entered the radiation belts, the damage returned more strongly. “After orbit 55, our images were full of stripes and noise,” says Michael Ravine, head of the instrument. With an upcoming one Near Iro of íoonly one option was left. The only thing they had not tried was to take Junocam heater to the fullest and see if a more extreme recovery would save us. The reward. The first week there were no improvements. The tension in the equipment was maximum. But just a few days after the encounter with ío, the images began to improve dramatically. By the time Juno went to just 1,500 kilometers of the most volcanic moon in the solar system, the camera worked almost as well as the day of its launch. The success of the maneuver allowed Juno to capture very unprecedented and unprecedented images of the northern pole. The images revealed mountains covered with sulfur dioxide frost and Lava rivers that allowed scientists to rebuild geological formations as fascinating as A lava lake with a glass mountain Inside. This achievement is the culmination of an extended mission that has led Juno to explore Jupiter’s great moons. First it was Ganímedes in 2021the largest satellite of the solar system, and then Europe in 2022. I was as follows on the list, and losing the main camera would have been a hard blow. The repair, of course, is not eternal. NASA informs that noise has begun to reappear in orbit 74. But the lesson learned is incalculable.

Google has shown the future of our videos and photos in Google Photos. A future full of false videos

by

Google just announce what seemed inevitable after The power of its models of artificial intelligence (Ia) generative In photos and video: Creation of photos and videos in Google Photos from the images of our reel. A novelty that speaks for itself of the future that awaits our content. What’s new. As an AI giant, Google gradually carries all its new advances to the set of services of its catalog. Google Photos has always been a place to experiment with AI, as is the case with the Magic editor or mode Reimagine. Now goes beyond “small touch -ups”, and proposes to create short videos from the photos stored on the reel. At the moment there is not much to indicate to the assistant, who will accept as options “subtle movements” or the classic “I will be lucky” to create a video of up to six seconds. Another novelty of Google Photos is “Remix”, a function that transforms the style of the images we select, being able to choose between styles such as anime, comic, sketches. Google’s anime example remembers Ghibli at Chatgpt. It is a movement that remembers Ghibli moment of Openai, that “Servers melted. Unlike Chatgpt’s global availability, in launch the function will only be available in the United States. Where are we going. With the movement, Google turns a strong trend into personnel and mass: that of the generated videos that seem realistic And social networks and YouTube are flooded. And beyond fun, it presents serious consequences. In Tiktok, for example, there are more and more young people using their mobile to watch mental health videos, with a problem: The most viral are false. The platforms are becoming “Lays of AI“, and far from fighting these trends, they are amplifying them. Meta, for example, has integrated tools such as Advantage+ To create different versions of an ad with little investment. When they try to warn us that the content is created by AI, They are not sure what it is. In text, Openai had its own detector, but ended up closed after admitting that It was not necessary. Our false photos are already a millionaire business. Pieter Levels He is a well -controversial developer and entrepreneur who climbed very soon to the wave of the generative AI with two tools that generate huge amounts to be the only developer, and all using Models ‘Open Source’. One of them, with which he says to enter $ 139,000 Photoai.com. Its function is simple: after training a model with our selfies, we can create an AI model based on us, and then take pictures in the place or possess we want. It goes further that the proposal starts from Google photos, and is already able to make realistic videos of many types, including modeling sessions. Under the slogan “say goodbye to your photographer” points to a future (not very distant) where AI can take care of all the photos we want in paradisiacal enclaves. Fake places where to posture On Instagram, but without the need to move at home. The Spanish Freepik It also has Your alternative. And there are people doing chilling things: inventing their own memories From photographs. Apple plays to improve our memories, without creating them. With iOS 26Apple has presented a function that “gives life to our photos, but in a different sense. The company showed from its inception to Vision Pro as a platform to remember family moments with fidelity. Now it allows photos captured with any iPhone in normal mode become a spatial scene with depth (visible on our mobile, without the need for a virtual reality kit).

Something is happening in Silicon Valley. More and more startups are going to the day ‘996’ of China

by

“If you want to leave at 5 you are not at the right work.” Lucy Guo said it, Founder of the Startup Scale AI. And it is not the only one. More and more Silicon Valley startups, especially those dedicated to AI, which are betting on this “extreme commitment” model that reminds us of the endless 996 Conference that were so controversial in China. What is happening? New culture. The culture of ultra-productivity defended by figures like Elon Musk It has been installed in Silicon Valley. In statements a WiredAdrian Kinnersley, CEO of a hiring company, says that “it is becoming very common. We have several clients who have as a prerequisite when selecting candidates who are willing to work on days 996”. Hysteria. In California, labor legislation is very favorable for workers and Kinnersley is surprised that many companies are “breastfeeding it.” It is one of the consequences of the AI career. Not only is there a great competition between China and the United StatesSilicon Valley has become the battlefield where small startups fight for being number one in his. The price: squeeze your workers. What was given was over. Not long ago, working in Silicon Valley was a dream for many. Companies like Google were known for offering gyms, coffee shops and even masseuses. All kinds of comfort for that employees felt at home. That is over. With the return to the offices after the pandemic, The dream began to fade. The tortilla has turned around. Today it is common for any startup to ask its employees to make marathon days and even work on weekends. Extreme commitment. It is another way of saying that you will not go through home much. We recently talked about the young CEO of Greptile and his controversial statements. “We do not offer conciliation”he said in Your X profile. The CEO says it directly in the work interviews: they work from 9 in the morning until late at night and, often, also on Saturdays. It looks a lot like China 996: from nine to nine, six days a week. The excuse: be competitive. In an interview, this CEO said that “nobody cares about the third best company, not even the second best, in any software category. If you are going to strive 95%, it is the equivalent of striving to 0%.” There are arranged people. In Spain we have attended the opposite in the hospitality sector: The waiters rebelled against the 12 -hour days, to the point that there was no labor. In Silicon Valley it seems that there are enough people willing to work 996. In Rilla, another AI startup, they say that 80% of their employees are working 72 hours a week. Even They put it in their job offers And they are not having problems hiring. His CEO says that there is “a very strong and growing subculture, especially in my generation (the Gene z), who grew up listening to stories by Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, entrepreneurs who dedicated their lives to create companies that changed the world. ” 996 in China. The 996 day became popular in China among Chinese technology last decade. This model was the growth engine of companies such as Alibaba or JD.com for years, but there came a point where The workers were fed up and The protests began demanding better working conditions. The Chinese government ended up prohibiting The endless days and went from 996 to 1065 (from 10 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon, five days a week). Temporary and only for those who want. There are startups that defend a slightly more moderate hyper-productive culture. The CEO of Sotiraa startup that applies AI solutions to the logistics sector, sees it as something temporary: “During the first two years of your startup, you have to work in the 996 style.” He also states that these days are for the leaders of the companies and does not believe that the entire employee base must be imposed. This vision creates a kind of structure on two levels, where only a part of the company meets these schedules. It is what the CEO of the “Telesalud” Fella & Delilah company proposed to its employees in a Publication in your LinkedIn. Employees who adhere to this schedule will receive a 25% increase in their salary. Image |Ron Lach, Pexels In Xataka | Work tired, stress and generates burnout. There is a way to reduce all that impact: the four -day week
