Japan thought he had touched back on his birth crisis. I didn’t know how wrong it was wrong

by

He has tried pulling a checkbook And even acting as Celestinabut Japan has encountered a seemingly irresoluble problem: birth. The country has gone from demographic winter to the debacle without palliative. That is at least the reading left by the latest government data, which reveal that in just one year (from January 2024 to January 2025) the population of Japanese citizens has been reduced in More than 900,000 peoplethe biggest fall Since at least 1968. There is only one positive indicator: immigration. A fact: 908,574. Talking about birth in Japan for a long time is to talk about falls, pessimistic forecasts and a future full of unknowns. It is nothing new, but that does not prevent when your government publishes official data, as has happened This Wednesdaythe demographic debacle continues to surprise. And rightly. According to the data of the Ministry of Interior, in 2024 the country lost neither more nor less than 908,574 inhabitants, which leaves the census of Japanese citizens in 120.65 million. Far, far from 126.6 million which it reached in 2009. More than a blow. The data is bad in itself and does not improve when it is put in context. As Remember Kyodo News It is the 16th consecutive year in which the census of Japanese citizens fall, a trend that seems to have no softening visos. On the contrary. The 2024 was the greatest demographic collapse of the statistical series, which starts in 1968. You have to go back to that same decade to find a lower birth record than the one scored last year: 687,689. In the opposite pole, the number of deaths (almost 1.6 million) stood at maximum. A percentage: 59%. Demography is not simple statistical theory, it is directly connected to the country’s economy. And that is something that government data makes it very clear: after years of population debacle and with the Gripada Birth engine, Japan has found that barely 59% of its population It is at work age (between 15 and 64), significantly below the world average, which is around 65%, according to the latest estimates of the OECD. With less and less native population of working age and a society in full aging, the panorama facing the country is the least challenging. In fact there are those who warn that a ‘red line’ is crossing. Some authors point out that 2025 will mark the point at which the population born during The Baby Boom In the late 40s, an age in which the percentage of the working population collapses and increases that of those who require care is exceeded. That turning point even has a name: The “problem 2025”. And what does that suppose? That in practice it is quite likely that from now on Japan will meet “a sudden increase” of elders who need care, which will result in “a significantly greater burden for workforce,” warns An IPEI report. As for what he will mean for public coffers, years ago the government has accounts and already calculated that between 2025 and 2040 the general costs of social care will shoot 60%. How to solve it? The big question. Japan has been deploying a range of measures to encourage their birth and reverse their demographic crisis. And that happens so much to dedicate Millions of resources to programs Pronatality and raising aids as encourage the paternal casualties or ease May young people find a partner. It is nothing new or exclusive to Japan. In South Korea, China either Russia Governments have launched similar campaigns with Disrupt results. In the background, however, a key question underlies, such as I already pointed out in 2023 The BBC chain: Increasing the birth of a country is a matter of money? Do the ‘baby checks’ or the paternal casualties? To what extent do these factors influence and how much depends on more structural ones, such as the difficulties in accessing broad homes, labor philosophy, gender inequalities, the cost of life or simply a cultural change that no longer prioritizes motherhood? A word: immigration. Not all demographic indicators in Japan are in red numbers. Moreover, there is one that grew last year until reaching record values: that of the foreign residentsthose people from other countries with permission to remain in Japan for at least three months. According to government data, your number grew by 10.65% (354,089 people) until adding 3.68 million. The records had never reached such a high figure. In practice that means that foreigners already represent almost 3% of the total population, another figure that had never been achieved before. Japan Times Precise that in 2024 661,800 people were moved from abroad, which shows that the fall experienced by this registry during the pandemic, especially in 2021 and 20022. If there are both Japanese citizens and the foreign population, the total census of residents in the country is taken into account. 124.3 millionapproximately 554,000 less than the previous year. Why is it important? Because the influx of foreigners has served for more than softening the country’s demographic bleeding. It also involves a chute of energy for its economy. 85.77% of foreign residents are of working age, a significant percentage for a country with a birth problem and that has been aging years. The increase in immigration also has certain challenges. Its increase coincides with the rise of the ultra -right party Sanseitowho has campaigned by flying the motto of “The Japanese first.” Image | JJ Ying (UNSPLASH) In Xataka | More and more Japanese women decide to marry men from South Korea.

The US threatened Apple to make the iPhone at home. Apple is already going through the hoop

by

The United States is going well for the tariff pulse. Although The dollar continues to sufferthe direct results of their demands to other countries continue to have positive returns. Trump has made its commercial partners pay more tariffs than before “Liberation Day“, And he is getting the same with great technological ones. What happened. Donald Trump has announced a new plan for semiconductor imports: he wants to establish a 100% rate on chips to companies that do not commit to manufacture in the United States. Your threats They are clear again: “We are going to apply a very high tax to chips and semiconductors. But the good news for companies such as Apple is that if they are manufacturing in the United States, or have the commitment to do so, without any doubt, there will be no charge” Apple breathes. Trump launched his new tariff threats with Tim Cook present in the Oval Office. Apple’s CEO was in the White House uploading its national investment commitment: to the 500,000 million dollars announced To spend in the country for the next four years, the company will add another 100,000 million dollars. In total, they promise 450,000 jobs and manufacture in 79 national factories, directly hiring 20,000 people. Apple’s investment responds to something very simple: tranquility. And the immediate effect is Trump’s words: we will apply a very high tax to chips and semiconductors. But the good news for companies like Apple is that if they are manufacturing in the United States, or have the commitment to do so, without any doubt, there will be no charge. ” Apple will manufacture all your glass with corning in the United States. That the iPhone does not cost $ 2,300 does not come out cheap. The iPhone Pro still starts from $ 999, and The forecast With the first tariffs announced by Trump it was an iPhone Pro Max of 1 TB would pass from $ 1,599 to $ 2,300. A real shot in the foot. Tim Cook has commented several times the difficulties in producing in the United States, and although at the moment it is very far from manufacturing an in full iPhone, the crystal of all its iPhone It will be 100% national product. Adds to the steps taken to produce rare earth magnets on American soil. Together with the great investment announced, entertaining Trump has also cost UNa Crystal statue with a 24 carat gold base. As it sounds. That the iPhone 17 Pro just up 50 dollarsas is rumored, there will be little cost: only a small investment of 600,000 million dollars. To put it in perspective, they are the total income of Apple almost two fiscal years. Eye with not complying. In this tariff race, it is still about to see that companies and countries fulfill what is promised. And, for example, Europe has promised to buy $ 600,000 million in energy from the United States. The problem is that Neither Europe has that money, nor the United States has energy. Preview that there will be nozzle cases, Trump has launched his warning to whom he promises to take production to the country and do not do so: “If for some reason you say that you are manufacturing and do not, then we return and add it, accumulate and charge you on a later date.” TSMC already covered his back. Taiwanese TSMC manufactures the majority of avant -garde chips of companies such as Apple and Nvidia, so that tariffs imposed on their sales would affect the entire technology industry in cascade. However, in March of this year, Trump already proclaimed himself winner of the pulse. TSMC announced An investment of 100,000 million dollars To build five new plants in the United States, which joined the other three they already had in Arizona. If Trump fulfills his words about the exemption of charges (“if they are manufacturing in the United States, or have the commitment to do so”), they should get rid of tariffs. Tariffs beyond technology. Trump also announced extra tariffs yesterday for another of the most important countries in world trade: India. On the Asian country, 25% tariffs were going to fall in force today, August 7. However, as punishment for the importation of Russian oil and gas, Trump announced an extra 25%.

GPT-5 has many versions, but Openai decides which one to use for you

by

Openai wants to simplify our lives, but maybe he has made a mistake in doing so. When you use GPT-5, you won’t know which GPT-5 version you will be using. Because although Openai has raised it as a “unified model”, it is actually using variant distress according to the scenario and, of course, according to what you pay. And not knowing what he is using at all times is a blessed? problem. Welcome to the era of the opacity of AI. GPT-5 are many GPT-5. In his “system card“Openai stands out how GPT-5 It is a “unified system” that actually consists of several versions. Some more powerful, others less, and others that reason. But unlike what happened so far-you chose if you wanted to use the lighter model or one that would think more-GPT-5 will choose for you. As? On the one hand we have the “external” names of the variants of GPT-5 and on the other the inmates. The “real -time router” will be responsible for deciding which is used at each moment. Source: latent.space A “router” that chooses for us. To know what variant you have to use, GPT-5 uses a “real-time router that quickly decides which model to use based on the type of conversation, complexity, or the need for tools.” As they point out In Latent Space The idea is remarkable, and helps to avoid That name chaos We had so far. Of course: the only way to “force” the type of model to use is to express it clearly in the prompt when using chatgpt. Thus, if we ask him something and ask that “think a lot about this”, we will activate that reasoning model so that the router does not make mistakes by choosing perhaps a less capable model. Opacity. Although OpenAi indicates that he uses these arguments to decide which GPT-5 variant USA, here we face the dichotomy of opacity. That GPT-5 chooses for us is on the one hand good and on the other bad. Simplifies the use of chatbot, no doubt, and that brings it closer to the novel public. But at the same time Advanced users steals control or those who have enough knowledge to know how to decide which version of GPT-5 would like to use. With an expected exception. We can already say goodbye to this old model selector. For better, and for worse. Beware of simplifying. The simplification problem of complex technologies is that it can cause unwanted side effects. For example, that users do not understand the differences between the models. That leads to reducing its ability to make informed decisions about which tool is more appropriate for each specific context. Openai raises something like a “technological infantilization”: do not worry, dear users, that GPT-5 will already do everything for you. Even choose how to work. If you pay, choose. If you are one of those advanced users who know how Chatgpt Pro (200 dollars/month) In order to activate any of the different internal models of GPT-5 Correspondence between the “old models” and the “new models.” Source: OpenAi How are they compared to previous models. The arrival of this new family of models assumes that now each of the above It has its replacement with one of the Variants of GPT-5. Thus, the old GPT-4O would be the new GPT-5 Main, while GPT-4O-mini will be GPT-5-Main-Mini and O3 will be GPT-5-Thinking. And so with the rest: Goodbye, old GPTS. As explained in the version notes Published in OpenAI, the arrival of GPT-5 supposes goodbye to the models that were used so far in Chatgpt. Chatgpt Pro subscribers They can continue to have access To these ancient models, at least for now, but for other users the option is clear: the pre-GPT-5 models are retired, and among them: GPT-4O (will continue to be used for voice mode) GPT-4.1 GPT-4.5 GPT-4.1-mini O4-mini O4-mini-High O3 O3-PRO GPT-5 should explain your decisions. Although the idea of having a unified model is not bad, that lack of control and information about the way of functioning of GPT-5 is worrying. One of the solutions is to introduce that selection of ways (available in Chatgpt Pro), but another is even simpler: Chatgpt would be enough to indicate which version of the model has used at all times so that we know what to stick to … and if we can force that in such questions a more capable (or less) model is used.

But the houses are real and cost millions of dollars

by

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and one of the richest people in the world, has expanded his empire Beyond online trade and the subspacial missionsto get a luxurious real estate heritage. The millionaire has acquired exclusive properties in some of the most exclusive areas of the United States, which include from luxurious Tríplex mansions and penthouses in Manhattan, to gigantic ranches in Texas and historical properties in Beverly Hills. An empire of strategic mansions and land Bezos’s richness has allowed him to consolidate a real estate portfolio that includes mansions and large extensions of land. Among its best known properties, what was your main residence in Seatle, located in Medina. Very close to the famous Xanadu 2.0 by Bill Gates. Bezos acquired this property in 1998 for 10 million dollars and expanded it considerably with renovations that exceeded 26 million dollars. This property of almost 21,400 m2, has two houses of 1,914 m2 and 771 m2 respectively. That same year he bought for 49 million dollars the La Haye estate, of 2,229 m2, which bordered his house, expanding in two hectares his property on the banks of Lake Washington. According The published by Business Insiderin total, the millionaire treasures up to eight properties in that area. In addition, the founder of Amazon also has several mansions in the exclusive Beverly Hills. Of all of them highlights the historical Jack Warner Estate Mansion For 165 million dollars in 2020, one of the most expensive purchases made by Bezos according to The Wall Street Journal. It also has four other houses in a private complex that include comforts such as tennis court, golf courses and gardens. Always pending the movements of Wall Street, New York remains a strategic enclave for Bezos, so the millionaire It was good to buy Five Apartments 212 Fifth Avenue, adding a total investment of about 119 million dollars. One of those floors is a tríplex attic for which the millionaire paid 80 million dollars. The expansion to the south: Indian Creek, the shelter of the millionaires In 2023, Bezos announced that He moved to Miami To be closer to the Blue Origin operations base (and incidentally saved some hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes). There he would set his main residence in Indian Creek, also known as Billionaire Bunker for his exclusivity and security. Houses by Jeff Bezos in Billionaire Bunker The founder of Amazon has acquired three properties On this small island of 1.2 million square meters where there are only 41 homes. Its investments in this area total more than 300 million dollars. Two of these mansions are contiguous, so the millionaire has repeated the same play as in Seattle and has demolished both mansions to unite them in a single property. According to published The worldwhile the millionaire built his new residence, moved to a mansion in Miami that bought the daughter of the Spanish businessman Publio Cordón for $ 78 million. The taste for the islands of Jeff Bezos is not limited to Miami. According The published by ABCthe millionaire bought in 2021 a 5.7 -hectare estate on the island of Maui, for which he paid about 78 million dollars. A ranch with astronomical dimensions for Blue Origin Texas is another of the key pieces in the real estate framework of Jeff Bezos. To the south of the state is the Rancho Figure 2, a huge ranch of 66,773 hectares, which not only represents a huge investment in land, but fulfills a strategic function as a test laboratory For Blue Origin. In addition, at some point between 2003 and 2024, Jeff Bezos has accumulated more than 161,875 hectares of rustic land, which makes the founder of Amazon Vigoercero major landownerof the US according to the list that every year elaborates Land Report.

Now streaming is the real TV

by

The most viewed films of Netflix are all of an overwhelming mediocrity. A phrase perhaps too radical but that relies on significant real data. And above all, that has a background that gives to think when the platform is The indicutable number one In the competitive streaming market. What tells us about the general panorama of the audiovisual industry the debatable quality of its millionaire launches? The list of infamy. The question caught the attention of analyst MG Siegler in Your Newsletter Spyglass: Netflix’s ten most viewed films In the first semester of 2025all with more than 50 million views, a couple with more than 100, had absolutely mediocre scores in Metascore. This is the list: Back to action: 46 Fed up: 56 My desire list: 49 Extraterritorial: 38 (IMDB score) Havoc: 57 Pets 2: 55 Electric status: 30 Counterattack: 60 (IMDB score) Ad vitam: 40 Gru 4: My favorite villain: 52 It is convenient to make some appreciations: first, these are the most viewed films, but not necessarily belong to Netflix. Very notoriously, the two animation are not produced by the platform. Of course, the vast majority have been. Second, this list belongs to the United States: successes are often global, but again ‘Pets 2’ and ‘Gru 4’, for example, they have not passed through Netflix in Spain. But who is you? Doesn’t those films despite the fog of the views of view? It has a lot to do with what we are talking about: they are films that many spectators have seen because of the continuous pressure made by the algorithm recommending them without rest and for The hook of an interpreter (Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown … that aspect does dominated it Netflix), but its discreet quality makes it Let’s forget them shortly to see them and that they have hardly any tour on social networks or weeks after the premiere. A problem that goes back over time. The Netflix problems with the quality of its great premieres It is an issue that is being discussed practically from the beginning of the platform, and that was accentuated when they began to produce very discreet quality blockbusters but with distributing and budgets of authentic first -line Hollywood premieres, such as’The invisible agent‘or’ red alert ‘. It is a policy that definitely distance from Netflix of competitors such as Prime Video (whose exclusive premieres are powerful, but not the backbone of its programming), HBO Max or Disney+ (which in both cases are nourished from the premieres of Warner and Disney in cinemas). The artists argue. This situation has a peculiar reflection in Netflix’s relationship with the creators, with whom they are entering serious conflicts with the recent decision of stop off in cinemas Because total … for what? If they have those millions of visions in films that in Salas perhaps they would not endure more than two weeks: Puck mentioned The confrontation between Netflix and Margot Robbie, producer of the next version of ‘Borrascosas Cumbres’: either they pass through cinemas or will have to pay more money, which would mean something like a rate for skipping the rooms. Greta Gerwig, director of ‘Barbie’ has also expressed her disagreement with this policy for her ‘Narnia’ films, and Daniel Craig had a similar encounter with Ted Sarandos in the promotion of ‘stabs in back 2’. Netflix has to make him look … or not. Is Netflix aware that he has a problem? Or going beyond: Does Netflix have a problem? They are relatively cheap producing films (agree, ‘Electric state’ has not beenand coincidentally it is the only one that we can qualify as authentic critical and commercial fiasco on the list), they generate interest and subscriptions. Gone is that career to become a Major And in which Apple is now participating quite successful. Netflix seems interested in going to theirs, although the figures of the scoring aggregators do not accompany. Because financial results do.

The hydrographic basin that is most suffering from drought is an unexpected one: Galicia’s

by

Summer It is taking its toll To the Spanish reservoirs and, despite the fact that the hydrographic basins maintain good health, some of these areas have seen how their reserves have markedly diminish. This has led to repeat an already familiar scenario: consumption restrictions. First restrictions. Galicia is an example of this. In this community there have been several councilsespecially in those located south of Pontevedra, who have announced restrictions to the use of water. The implemented measures differ as the case reported the Chain ser. The problem affects more areas of the Northwest, not just Galicia. As reported The newspaper Commercesome municipalities and parishes in Asturias have already announced the implementation of measures of this type to force water savings. These measures, explains the local press, affect only the “great consumption”, such as swimming pools and vehicle washing, similar to the previous ones. The restrictions have even reached some municipalities in the province of León, especially in the Laciana region, also reported the local press. The town hall of Villablino has been the one who has given the alarm, announcing restrictions on domestic use. The Galician basins. The data published this week on the Stadium of the Reservoirs confirm a worrying trend in a good part of the basins of the northwest of the Peninsula. This is especially notorious in The basins of the coast of Galicia The only basin north of Júcar below 60 % of its capacity, with its swamps full of 58.5% on average (400 hm³ in total). At the end of May, these reservoirs exceeded 80% of its capacity. Question of size? There are two factors that explain this rapid descent. The first is a hard summer: the month of June was an extremely warm month in Spain, Also dry (Galicia being one of the driest areas within the Peninsula). Although the month of July was somewhat more wet, most of the rainfall concentrated on the west peninsular. The second is that we are talking about a small, the sixth smaller sixth basin, with a capacity of 490 hm³, a small fraction of the capacity of neighboring basins such as that of the Miño-Sil (3,030 hm³) or the Duero (7,602 hm³). Lower size implies greater variability, less capacity to absorb Shocks and changes. Below 2024. Although the situation is not so striking in the rest of Galician basins, there is a detail that all the Northwest basins share (Western Cantabrian, Duero, Galician Basins and Miño-Sil): they all have less water than they had last year by these dates. The difference is more pronounced in the small basins: the reservoirs of the Galician coast kept 483 hm³ this week, which implies a drop of 17.2%, while those of the Western Cantabrian They have passed from 430 to 357 hm³, almost 17% less. In contrast, that of the Miño-Sil It went from 2,506 to 2,403 (4.1% less), and The Duero From 5,993 to 5,766 hm³ (3.8% less). On average, the Peninsular basins They have 14.9% more water than last year by these same dates. Summer remains ahead. There are still almost two months left for the end of the hydrological year. This change of the year is between the months of September and October, at which time autumn precipitations usually change the descendant trend in the reserve of the summer months.

Ukraine is seeing objects at 500 km/h. Russia has turned its most lethal weapon into a monster at cruise speed

by

At this point in the contest it has been clearly clear that, it is not that the war is asymmetric, it is that Russia is attacking Shaheds of thermobárica load and Ukraine with pellets. That reality, in addition, is practically modified every week At a rhythm of updates difficult to continue. The latest: Ukraine radars have begun to see swarins at cruise speed, but they are not missiles. Again the shaheds. Yes, Russia has introduced into its attacks against Ukraine Reaction version of the Kamikaze Shahed drones, model Shahed-238whose benefits (speeds of up to 600 km/haltitudes of almost 10 km and a radar signal similar to that of a cruise missile) make them much more difficult to intercept than the Helix Shahed-136. These drones, with an explosive load of about 50 kg and an estimated range 1,000 to 2,000 km According to the variant, they are practically untouchable for mobile groups with light weapons, cannons or electrical interceptors drones. His deployment in the last mass attack, which left At least 13 dead And more than 130 injured, is a qualitative leap in the Russian capacity to saturate Ukrainian defenses and force the use of expensive Earth-Aire missiles, such as The Nasams either Patriotwhose price can reach Millions of dollars per unit. Tactical impact and adaptation. The introduction of the Shahed-238 seems to be part of A Russian strategy To prove the effectiveness of Ukrainian interceptor drones, developed from high performance FPVs used against recognition aircraft. The Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, recognized that Russia is integrating countermeasures to make fun of these interceptors, which forces Ukraine to adjust tactics daily. Despite the goal of producing A thousand daily interceptorsscalability is limited by Russian attacks on factories, supply problems and the need to constantly relocate production. Ukrainian experts They point That this deployment could seek not so much the direct destruction of strategic objectives such as the wear of the inventory of long -range anti -aircraft missiles, leaving the space open to more destructive weapons. Production limitations. They counted the Twz analysts that, although Russia currently produces some 2,000 Shahed-136 per month And it aspires to reach 5,000, the manufacture of the Shahed-238 is more COmpleja and expensive. Their speeds demand more resistant fuselages, more precise guidance systems and high -cost turbojet engines, which restricts its scalability and diverts resources from the production of simpler models. The dependence of foreign componentsespecially from Chinait could be decisive to sustain or expand production. These limitations suggest that, at least in the short term, Russia will use the Shahed-238 in a combined way with large waves of Shahed-136, creating staggered attacks that saturate defensive systems. Perspectives and threats. The arrival of the Shahed-238 raises a Operational and economic dilemma To Ukraine: neutralize them with Sam missiles long -range is an unsustainable expense, while the most affordable solutions, such as unmanned interceptors, have not yet demonstrated full efficacy against this threat. In the short term, Russia’s most likely tactics aims to combine them with Great Shahed-136 waves To overload the defensive system, forcing to disperse resources and increasing the probability that other more powerful weapons reach their objectives. If Moscow manages to maintain a constant flow, even if it is limited, of these reaction drones, they could become a key element to weaken the Ukrainian defenses and open space to more devastating aerial offensives, thus consolidating a new technological front in the war.

Huawei already has his best strategy to end Nvidia’s domain in China

by

In early 2025 NVIDIA had a fee in the Chinese chip market for artificial intelligence (AI) of nothing less than 95%. However, during the last weeks has dropped to 50%. This abrupt decrease is largely due to the export restrictions of chips for the The US government has imposedalthough it is also caused by the development of competition within China. Despite this unfavorable Nvidia scenario, it has something very important in its favor: CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). Most of the AI projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the market. Huawei is going to position Cann as an open source tool kit This declaration of Li Guojie, a computer scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that is considered an authority in China, Express clearly The important thing that are the tools that I have just mentioned in the ECOsystem of AI models: “China must develop an alternative system to achieve self -sufficiency in AI (…) Deepseek has had an impact on the CUDA ecosystem, but it has not overcome it completely because barriers persist. In the long term we need to establish a set of software tool systems for the controllables that exceed CUDA.” Xu Zhijun does not mention it expressly, but what his strategy pursues is to increase the competitiveness of the Huawei’s ecosystem This is undoubtedly one of the great challenges that China faces in this area, and probably its best option is Cann. During the last five months Huawei has launched two GPU for Ia Very competitive and is about to take a very important step: Cann will position as An open source tool kit. Its purpose is, According to Eric Xu ZhijunRotary President of Huawei, “to accelerate the innovation of developers and get the chips of the Asce Family to be easier to use.” Xu Zhijun does not mention it expressly, but what his strategy pursues in the background is to increase the competitiveness of the Huawei ecosystem attacking Nvidia where he is stronger. In addition, it has already begun to discuss with the main actors of the China’s AI industry, as well as with its commercial partners, universities and research institutions how Huawei should build their open source ecosystem. If this initiative thrives, and presumably will, it will represent a very important step forward on the road to China’s technological independence.

Google’s new AI generates interactive worlds from a prompt. Deepmind believes it is a step to get the AGI

by

The Google Deepmind team has announced its new AI model to generate interactive worlds. At the end of last year We were surprised with what Genie could do 2 And the new version is an important leap, one that for Google is an advance in the creation of the General Artificial Intelligence or AGIthat which can match the abilities of the best human. Genie 3. It is the new World Model o Deepmind world model. Allows to create interactive worlds for which we can explore, all from a Prompt of text. The previous model was very limited and could only be used for a few seconds, but with Genie 3 Deepmind promises that it can be explored for “several minutes.” In addition, the resolution has improved at 720p to 24FPS. The model is based on Genie 2 and I see 3. It has memory. It is the most important improvement of the new model. The world is generated through ia as we explore it, but if we turn around and look at something we had already seen, it remains the same. We can also change something, such as painting on a wall, and that is kept as we leave it all the time. This did not happen in previous versions and its creators say they did not explicitly schedule it to do that. As explained in an article in TechcrunchGenie 3 is able to remember what he has already generated to train himself, in this way he learns how the world and his physical works. Interactive. It also emphasizes that events can be added with Prompts additional In his article, Deepmind puts several interactive examples such as a meadow in which we can choose if a tractor, a bear, a horse or hot air balloons will appear. They call it “promptable World Events” and also allows you to change aspects such as weather. Why is it important. Worlds models are useful in different scenarios such as the creation of scenarios for real -time games, in education or in the training of AI agents. Google points to it in its blog as a key step to reach the AGI, that upper artificial intelligence that so many companies are trying to get as soon as possible. These worlds can be used as a training field for other AI, also including robots, cases in which simulating real scenarios is a challenge. In the presentation, the Deepmind team explained how they put an agent in a stage that simulated a warehouse and asked him to approach certain elements, such as a green garbage cube. In all the tests he achieved, according to the Deepmind team “the fact that (the agent) is able to achieve this is because Genie 3 remains coherent.” The competition. The largest IA competition, at least at the level of products for the end user, we see it in the chatbots and, to a lesser extent, in video or audio generators. The world models are less popular among the public and there is not a great competition. Nvidia presented cosmos at the beginning of the year And there are some companies like World Labs They offer similar proposals. We would like to finish this text with a link so you can try it, but Genie 3 is only available in Beta for a very limited group of academics.
