Amazon invested $50 billion in OpenAI. Four months later, he has hidden an already finished film about Altman

by

‘Artificial’ is a film already completely finished. Luca Guadagnino, director of ‘Rivals’ and ‘Call Me by Your Name’, filmed it between July and October 2025, with Andrew Garfield in the role of one of the men of the moment, Sam Altman. It has been shown in different test runs and has been liked. It cost 40 million dollars. And on Friday, June 20, 2026, Amazon announced that it would put it in a drawer and not distribute it. What happened. The decision It came from Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, who personally communicated the resolution to Guadagnino’s team. The director was dismayed and Amazon communicated this in an extremely diplomatic, almost incomprehensible way: “We have the greatest respect and admiration for Luca Guadagnino as an award-winning filmmaker, and also a long-standing relationship that we hope to continue. We believe that ‘Artificial’ will work better in another studio and we are working closely with the team to find it a new home.” Of course, data is missing here. What really happened. On February 27, 2026, four months before the announcement, Amazon and OpenAI announced a multi-year strategic alliance. Amazon will invest $50 billion in OpenAI, starting with $15 billion immediately and an additional $35 billion when certain conditions are met. AWS becomes the exclusive cloud delivery provider for OpenAI Frontier, the company’s enterprise AI agent platform. In addition, OpenAI expands its infrastructure consumption agreement on AWS by $100 billion over eight years, and commits to deploying approximately 2 gigawatts of Trainium capacity, Amazon’s proprietary chips. Why ‘Artificial’ is so controversial. ‘Artificial’ it has a comedy point bitter, and comes with the stamp of screenwriter Simon Rich, who worked on none other than ‘Saturday Night Live’. The story focuses on the 72 hours in November 2023 when the OpenAI board removed Altman and He hired him again days later.. The comparison with ‘The Social Network’, the film by David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin about the origins of Facebook, has come up numerous times among those who have been able to see ‘Artificial’. Also it has been said that Altman is portrayed as a pathological liar, and is described by another character in the film as “one of the most manipulative people on the planet.” All of this, of course, had been approved by Amazon, although the film apparently became darker as filming progressed. Some speculation suggests that Amazon saw the setup, realized the potential damage to its numbers and image, and that they simply did not want to commit billions at a stroke. Even more, is spoken that Amazon’s investment in OpenAI “undoubtedly” influenced the decision to abandon the film. September 2026. OpenAI wants to debut on the stock market in September 2026, with a valuation of between $730 billion and $850 billion. The company filed its confidential S-1 with the SEC on May 22, 2026. If the Initial Public Offering prepared by OpenAI goes well, Amazon’s stake appreciates very substantially. Possibly, the view of Altman as a pathological liar does not benefit this stock market bet, and Amazon does not want to be behind this hypothetical put a spanner in the works. Nobody wants ‘Artificial’. For some time now, we have seen how this same path that ‘Artificial’ has begun to take was experienced by films produced by companies eager not to spend more money than strictly necessary. It happened with ‘Coyote vs.- ACME‘, which has finally found its way, or with ‘The war of tomorrow‘, which Paramount produced and Prime Video released in the pandemic. The curious thing about this case is that no one seems to want to approach the project. CAA Media Finance, which represents Guadagnino, has been conducting private passes for potential distributorsand the likes of Netflix, A24, Focus Features, and Warner Bros.’ Clockwork have all nixed the project. At the moment, only Mubi or Neon are potential candidates. And how is this, that A24, queen of independents and difficult projectsAren’t you interested? Well, because the distributor is backed by Josh Kushner’s Thrive Capital, who sits on OpenAI’s board and is among its most prominent investors. Amazon’s story repeats itself with A24 because AI money is widespread throughout the entertainment financial ecosystem. And so it is difficult to produce ambitious and independent films.

“It is mandatory to include all heirs in the will.” If not, they are still included

by

Making a will seems like the movement most sensible in the world since it is written down who receives what and fights between heirs are avoided. In most cases it works like this. But such and how they stand out our colleagues Trendsthat document, signed before a notary to put things in order, may end up being useless if all legitimate heirs are not included, creating a problem where there was none. The lawyer Blanca Palmero explains with crystal clarity in a video on the YouTube channel of the Vilches Abogados law firm, what happens when an heir is missing from the distribution and why the reason changes everything. The consequences of this “forgetfulness” are very serious, and can even render the will ineffective when someone with right to inherit stays outside of it. Preterition: forgetting that has its own name. There is a legal term for when a forced or legitimate heir (those who by law have the right to receive the legitimate) does not appear in the will: preterition. It is, in Palmero’s words, the “omission in a will of some person who, by kinship, has the right to be in it.” As strange as it may seem, the lawyer assures that it happens quite often. The most common case is that of someone who makes a will and leaves everything to the children they know. Years later another unknown son appears with the same rights and duties. The key is not to confuse this term with disinheritance. Disinheriting someone is an express and conscious act: the testator expressly decides to remove a person from his will and leaves a record of it in writing. The preterition may be involuntary, the result of forgetfulness or ignorance of the existence of that person. And that difference, intentional or not, is what determines what happens later during the execution of that inheritance. What the will cannot touch: the legitimate. In Spain it is not possible to distribute assets as one wants. The Civil Code divides inheritance into three thirds: strict legitimate, improvement and free disposal. Forced heirs (children, parents or spouse as the case may be) are guaranteed a share. That is the legitimate one, and no will can ignore it. He article 807 of the Civil Code establishes that, when one of these forced heirs is left out of the will, intentionally or not, preterition occurs. When forgetting was intentional. If the testator knew that there was a forced heir and intentionally decided not to include him, the will is not void. That heir can claim the legitimate right recognized by the Civil Code. Palmero explains that to cover that part that was not contemplated in the distribution established in the will “the institution of other heirs will be reduced” so that the excluded person receives what corresponds to him. That is, each heir will cut part of their percentage of legitimacy and, if that is not enough, the legacies will also be cut. Until the new part is covered. The will still stands, but the distribution is adjusted to respond equitably with the mandatory part designated by the regulations, even if the testator did not want to leave him anything. That is, in that case, the will is not annulled, it is only corrected. Heir, what heir? Unintentional preterition occurs when the testator was unaware that a forced heir even existed. The inheritance expert cites the most common example in these cases: that of someone who did not know they had a child. Or situations with a pending filiation process, in which a judge must establish the parent-child relationship. In these cases the consequence can be much more serious, potentially invalidating the will. If the forgetfulness affects only one of several forced heirs, the action is similar to what we have already seen with intentional “forgetfulness.” In that case it cancels the attribution of heirsincluding the new situation, but legacies and improvements that have already been assigned can be maintained. In no case does the excluded person lose his or her right to claim his or her share of the legitimate income. The most serious case is if the unintentional preterition affects all forced heirs. In that case, the will is annulled since it must be reformulated in its entirety to include the new heirs at least in the third that is included in the Civil Code. That is, in that case, the inheritance becomes a condition of intestate successionas if that will had never existed and the law decides who inherits and in what order.

We have been told that drinking water on an empty stomach helps you lose weight. Scientific evidence says otherwise

by

The Internet and social networks are full of supposedly easy tricks that promise almost miraculous results with a minimum effort for our body. One of these tricks is a habit that many people do as if it were a ritual: drinking a large glass of water, “yes or yes”, as soon as we get out of bed in the morning. This simple gesture promises to ‘wake up’ the intestines, activate the metabolism and promote weight loss. It’s a myth. What we hear on social networks is not always true, since we must face a large number of myths that have no scientific support behind them. And right now the best scientific evidence does not support this idea, Although it is true that drinking water increases our energy production. Thermogenesis. To understand where this widespread myth comes from, we must analyze the term “water-induced thermogenesis”, that is, the ability of our body to begin producing energy after drinking a glass of water. Here is a classic study In the medical literature it was observed that the consumption of 500 ml of water managed to increase the metabolic rate by around 30% during a period of 30 to 40 minutes. But although this percentage may seem incredible, the reality is that the acceleration of the metabolism translated into a total expenditure of 24 kilocalories. That is to say, its effect was so small that short-term weight loss was hardly going to be noticed due to this. It has been verified. Subsequent research in the fields of endocrinology and nutrition has attempted to replicate these data in different contexts. We have one of the examples in a clinical trial that evaluated the physiological effects in overweight or obese people, where an increase in energy expenditure of 24% was found for 60 minutes after ingesting 500 ml of water. But again it was seen that this slight temporary metabolic rebound does not imply a fat loss that is relevant in itself. On the scale. If now, instead of staying in the laboratory, we go to the real effect that this habit has on patients, we find that the narrative of water on an empty stomach as a slimming remedy loses much of its support, since the scientific evidence on weight loss attributable to water consumption is, in general terms, limited and of low to moderate quality. And the studies that have been done, despite pointing to weight loss, have a follow-up that is too short and a methodology that prevents giving a firm conclusion about applying this recommendation. The power of water. That dismantling the myth of a glass of water on an empty stomach is anticlimactic does not mean that hydration has no value in a weight control strategy. And the evidence suggests that drinking water helps to lose weight indirectly, since the mere fact of modifying the diet to go from a high consumption of sugary soft drinks or industrial juices to drinking water eliminates hundreds of calories a day with little effort. In addition, various trials suggest that drinking water before meals makes us feel full much sooner, which will reduce the amount of calories that we end up eating and, therefore, advancing a little further in the diet.

a mix between ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Mission Impossible’

by

If you like cinema Jackie Chanthere is news that you will like as much as it will disconcert you. The popular Chinese actor returns at 72 years old to one of the sagas that established him as a star: ‘Armor of God’. Because although in the West we knew him more for ‘Conflicts in the Bronx’ in 1995 or, above all, for ‘Rush Hour’ in 1998, the actor was already a legend in Hong Kong martial arts cinema. As they point in Variety, Chan is preparing for ‘Armor of God IV’, the fourth part of an adventure saga that It perfectly condenses the actor’s style: martial arts, adventure and that hallmark of physical humor that launched him to stardom. And if you don’t know these movies, the truth is that the mix is ​​a difficult cocktail to miss when mixing Jackie Chan,’Indiana Joness’ and ‘Mission Impossible‘. And, thinking about it, it could be one of the great inspirations from ‘Uncharted’. Jackie Chan is back (if he ever left) In the cinema we live in constant nostalgia, and this summer could not be a better example. There we have ‘toy story 5‘, a film that has been considered unnecessary (after the also considered unnecessary fourth installment) and Universal has just released the first teaser trailer for ‘Shrek 5’ (with slaps by users). Going back to ‘Armour of God’, the first film from 1986 introduced us to… well, Jackie, the “Asian Falcon” or the “Condor”, depending on the region, a treasure hunter similar to Indiana Jones who travels the world looking for relics and historical objects with an almost mystical value. Out of nowhere, he finds himself involved in the kidnapping of a friend’s girlfriend by a cult and that premise gave rise to a sequel (‘Operation Condor’ from 1991) and a third part that was not very well received (‘Chinese Zodiac’, from 2012, the most similar to a ‘Mission Impossible’). They are less well-known films than those first international blockbusters that made him rise to fame in the West, but you are surely familiar with a video that appears in every compilation of videos of actors doing stunts. Like Tom CruiseChan usually performs his stunts. During the filming of ‘Armour of God’, there was a moment in which he had to jump to a tree branch to escape, but the branch broke and the actor hit his head on a rock. He fractured his skull and, as a gift, he received partial hearing loss in one of his ears. They are entertaining films (like many of the actor’s films, in short), and Variety points out that It will be this July when the filming of ‘Armor of God IV’ beginswith Robert Kun directing and Jackie returning to the role of Asian Hawk, but not repeating behind the cameras (yes, he also directed the previous three). The premiere is expected in the second half of 2027 and we will have to see if, at 72 years old, he continues to swing between the branches of the trees.

Today, at 9 p.m., we are going to pay the most expensive kilowatt-hour of all of 2026. And this is just the first heat wave of the year

by

On Sunday, June 21 at 2 p.m., electricity was almost given away: it was paid at €0.02592 per kilowatt-hour, the lowest price in months. In a while, at nine at night, we are going to pay it at €0.89142, the most expensive price in all of 2026. Just over 24 hours difference and more than thirty times the price. What is happening here? The price of light. The wholesale market The price of electricity for today has already been determined: an average of 99.89 euros per MWh. That is, 75.96% more expensive than yesterday. Although the average is misleading (there is a huge difference between 32 at noon and 177 at night), the truth is that it helps to understand the problem. And that problem boils down to the fact that we are going to have dinner with energy prices that we have not seen since the cold wave of January 2025. What is this due to? In principle, three different things: the most obvious is the heat wave. It alone will trigger energy demand 6 GW more than normal, according to the consulting firm Optimize Energy. The second is the taxes that returned at the beginning of the month. And the last one is a small technical change that makes the valleys sink lower and the peaks rise higher. Now the market moves every 15 minutes instead of every hour. This, which, on average, should give the same result would allow the system to better match supply with demand. In theory, of course. The important thing is not the energy that comes in, but the energy that comes out. According to the system, due to the heat and the work schedule, demand will barely decrease until 10 pm. However, little by little, the sun will retreat, forcing turn on increasingly expensive plants. The rest is the market functioning: in a marginalist system, the last MW that enters is the one that defines the price of the rest. This Monday we have a ‘perfect storm’ and, consequently, an exorbitant price. And what can we do? If we have a fixed price, it should not affect us. If we have PVPC (and there are 10 million who have it), it is a good idea to spend only what is essential. But above all, think of this heat wave as a proof of concept. The truth is that this situation will occur whenever heat, little air and overpriced gas coincide. It is time to think about a domestic strategy to survive Spain’s great energy problem: the fact of have a huge amount of sun, but have nowhere to store it.

“It is one of the most exposed areas and one of the most forgotten”

by

Summer is already upon us, and that means we have to deal with the heat and also the sun for several months. One of the ‘rituals’ we do (or should do) is to have sunscreen and cover our face, shoulders and back, since they will be exposed to the sun. The problem is that there is one part of the body that directly receives a large amount of sunlight and which we usually ignore completely. We are logically talking about the scalp. a myth. We tend to think that hair acts as an impenetrable shield against ultraviolet radiationas if it were a hat, but science suggests that this is a quite dangerous myth. And they go even further by pointing out that leaving the head completely abandoned in the face of inclement weather causes quite serious injuries to develop in the long run. They don’t stop repeating it. Something that we must be clear about now is that hair does not completely block UV radiation. As point the American Cancer Societyprolonged exposure to these rays is the main risk factor for all skin cancers. But if we go a little further, there is cancer beyond the famous melanoma, which is the one we all have in mind. For example, we have basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma that tend to frequently appear in areas with greater historical sun exposure, that is, the head. Who is most at risk? Logically, this is something that is evidently triggered in people who have baldness or very thin hair, although in general it affects everyone. Areas like your hair part, receding hairline, or cowlicks are blind spots where the sun hits your bare skin directly. The alopecia. Science emphasizes the importance of using protection, since it has been shown that there is a direct relationship between scarring alopecia, chronic inflammation of the scalp and the development of skin cancer. Furthermore, it has also been seen that when there is inflamed tissue due to suffering certain forms of alopecia and this exposure to UV rays is also added to it without a physical barrier to protect it, an ideal environment is created for the appearance of a carcinoma. In these cases, photoprotection stops being an aesthetic recommendation and becomes a medical necessity. How to protect it. Here the imposition of a physical barrier is the best advice that can be given, as they point out different organisms specialized in skin cancer, since they point out that the most robust and effective protection does not come in a bottle, but in the form of a wide-brimmed hat or cap. In this way, sunscreen remains a necessary complement that presents a very clear way: how to apply it without ruining your hair? And here the key is to use sprays designed specifically for this area, such as transparent sprays or mineral powders. Early detection. Beyond prevention, surveillance It is also very important for early detection of any stain that may be suspicious. This is something that is especially indicated for those people who do not use any type of sun protection and are exposed to the sun a lot throughout the day, such as a worker or a street cleaner, among many other professions. Here, with a simple comb or the air from a dryer, you can separate the hair into sections to look for new spots or wounds that do not heal, since it may be an indication that something is wrong and you need to visit a specialist doctor for evaluation. The experts. Here they are quite clear that we have a big problem, especially Dr. Cristina Vico, dermatologist at the GEDET of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, who in statements collected by elDiario.es point because “the scalp is one of the areas most exposed to solar radiation throughout the year and, however, one of the most forgotten.” To this end, this expert also points out how important it is to use sun protection anywhere on the body and, above all, to check yourself well, since early detection is one of the best treatments that can be applied to any sign of carcinoma.

Spain had a master plan for the European fighter. The problem is that Germany just got a girlfriend with a lot of “money”

by

In 1986, Spain, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom decided to join forces to build the Eurofighter Typhoon. It took almost two decades to turn it into realitybut that project left a key lesson: in Europe, fighters are not built with engineering alone, but with industrial and political balances that sometimes last longer than the technology itself. The collapse and plan B. It we count last week. He collapse of the Future Combat Air System has not only been the failure of a large European military program of 100,000 million euros, it has also been the moment in which Spain understood that he could not wait for France and Germany to resolve their industrial wars. For years, the FCAS It was sold as the large sixth-generation European fighter, but tensions between Airbus and Dassault Aviation they ended up blocking the distribution of work, leadership and technological architecture. When Berlin withdrew, Madrid lost more than just a partner: it lost the pillar that supported its own bet. FCAS concept The Spanish exit. Spain had been moving in silence for some time. With Indra gaining weight in defense and with growing conversations with Saab, the idea was clear: if FCAS sank, there was room to build an alternative axle with Germany and Sweden around satellite technologies such as sensors, combat cloud, accompanying drones and command systems. It was not yet a “new fighter” as such, but it was a survival platform industrial so as not to be tied to Paris. It was a lateral route to keep the Spanish option alive within the sixth European generation. Italy changes the board. And then Italy has appeared. Leonardo’s new management has made it clear that it would be delighted to open the door of the Global Combat Air Program to Germany. On paper, that is a logical invitation: Berlin brings money, industry and experience accumulated with the Eurofighter Typhoon. But strategically it is a bomb for Spain. Because the centerpiece of your plan B (Germany) could stop looking towards the Swedish axis and turn towards Rome, London and Tokyo. In a matter of weeks, the Spanish escape route could become a dead end. Germany is looking for a leading role. The German movement also has internal logic. Berlin does not want to be a secondary partner. He made it clear within the FCAS and he is repeating it now: if he enters another program, he wants a role proportional to your investment and its industrial weight. That sits poorly with France, where Dassault Aviation never wanted to let go control, but it fits much better with Italian flexibility. Furthermore, BAE Systems and the German branch of Airbus already they cooperated successfully on the Eurofighter. For Berlin, GCAP is starting to look less like an alternative and more like a logical continuation. The Spanish dilemma. And here is the big crack for Spain. If Germany joins GCAP, Madrid stays trapped between two worlds: a mortally wounded FCAS and an alternative plan that loses its most important partner before consolidating. Spain can try to continue punch to France, but that would mean accepting a (much) more subordinate role. You could also look for a direct approach to Italy or even Japan and the United Kingdom, but arriving late to an already structured program reduces a lot the negotiation margin. The risk is brutal: being left out of the table where the next great European air combat ecosystem is decided. Europe repeats its old problem. All this once again reveals the great industrial drama European: too many projects, too many egos and, above all, too much overlap. While the United States and China move forward with centralized programs, Europe continues to fragment its resources between rival blocs. In that sense, Spain believed it had found a safety net after the FCAS. The problem is that this network depended on Germany… and now Germany has a new dance couple.
