The Telegram CEO believes that it has 100 “children.” And it will distribute its 13,000 million dollars among them

by

What does it mean to be someone’s son? If you ask Pavel Durov, the Telegram CEOThe answer is not only limited to the six “officers” children he has with three different women. In fact, it includes more than 100 people around the world. “How is it possible that a man who has never married and prefers to live only has so many children?” Hardov He asked rhetorically in his Telegram channel in 2024. 25 Telegram tricks to make the most The answer is simple: by sperm donation. During the last 15 years, Durav has frequently donated sperm, convinced that it was his “civic responsibility.” However, unlike many, Durov considers that all children conceived through their sperm are theirs, even if they are not present in their lives or know who they are. The latter is important since according to Durav, all their children have the same rights. An inheritance issue. Durov shared his opinion about the family in an interview with LE POINTwhere he comments that his will recently finished. From there comes the importance of how many children does the Telegram chief have, whose estimated fortune is around the € 13,000 million. “I want to emphasize that I do not make distinctions between my children who were conceived naturally and those who were conceived through donations of my sperm,” said Durov. “Everyone is my children and everyone will have the same rights.” A donation. That Durov have more children than a football team It is no surprise. Himself He told it in 2024explaining that it all started 15 years ago when a friend of his asked for a sperm donation. “I was leaving my ass before realizing that my friend said it seriously,” said Durov. The friend and his wife had fertility problems and needed help to form a family. Durov agreed, but the story did not end there. More than 100 children. “They just told me that I have more than 100 biological children,” he said in a post on his telegram channel last summer. “(When I made my first donation) the clinic head told me that there was a shortage of high quality donations and that it was my civic responsibility to donate more sperm anonymously to help other couples.” According to Dorav, his donations over the years have helped more than 100 couples in 12 countries. He added that at least one clinic still has its frozen sperm and available as anonymous donation. Pavel Durov (left) and Jakob Burda in 2016. The children: an obsession of the billionaires. Certainly, Dorav’s dedication to help others have children is not unusual among millionaires. In recent years, people like Elon MuskMarc Andresen or Peter Thiel have dedicated themselves to sounding the alarm on the “risk” of the low birth rate to humanity. The Tesla CEO has classified the low birth rate as the “most important humanity risk of today.” In fact, on a personal level, Musk seems to be committed to the idea to have all the children I can. The billionaire currently has at least 14 children of 4 different womenalthough there is the possibility of having more. Andresen, on the other hand, has declared that the planet suffers from a “Dramatic depopulation.” States that in an ideal future, the Earth will house 50,000 million (there are currently 8.2 billion). And what about poverty? According to Andresen, the markets will be responsible for financing social welfare programs. Although Durov is not as vocal on the subject as Musk and Andresen, it is clear that he takes it seriously. In fact, last year, paid fertility treatmentwhich is around $ 5,000, women who agreed to use their sperm in Russia. Distributing the inheritance. So what happens to that inheritance of € 13,000 million? I’m sorry to tell you that, although your parents suddenly say that Telegram’s CEO did have a role at your birth, you will have to wait a long time before seeing a cent of their money. Specifically, three decades from this year. “I want my children to live as normal people, who are worth them, to learn to trust themselves, that they can create something for themselves,” said Durov. “I don’t want them to depend on a bank account.” How can I know if I am a son of Durav? After all, the tycoon made sperm donations anonymously. Well, don’t worry: Dad Durov has thought of everything. “I plan to put my DNA in Open Source so that my biological children can find themselves more easily,” said Durov in 2024. “Of course there are risks, but I do not regret having been a donor.” Images | Techcrunch | Hubert Burda Media In Xataka | Change WhatsApp and Telegram for a European alternative: how to do it and what you should take into account

To carry out its greatest attack on Russian soil Ukraine used a tool as old as wars: bribery

by

On June 1, what seemed several mobile houses located at various strategic points of Russia were revealed as what They were really: camouflaged trucks with an army of drones prepared for covert operation. The so -called Spiderweb began, the greatest Ukrainian offensive on Russian soil, a devastating attack on the fleet of Moscow bombers. Now, almost a month after the attack, Ukraine has responded to one of the great unknowns: how the hell swarms entered into Russian territory. Redefining modern war. For more than eighteen months, Ukrainian intelligence services They designed meticulously an operation that culminated in an unprecedented attack on thousands of kilometers of its borders: An army of camouflaged drones in those prefabricated mobile houses, which were transported across international borders until they reach Russian strategic air bases. Now, Vasyl Maliuk, head of the Ukraine Security Service (SBU), has revealed the details of the operation in an extensive Interview with Washington Post where he assures that the attack destroyed at least 12 Russian aircraft, including Tu-95 bombersand damaged a total of 41 devices, some of them located More than 3,400 kilometers east of Ukraine, in Siberia. The satellite images analyzed by the post confirmed Partial destructionalthough some visual tests were limited by weather conditions, which suggests that part of the remains could have been removed by Moscow before being captured. How it was created. Maliuk explained That the design of the operation began in November 2023, in response to a new wave of Russian bombings on Ukrainian cities. The idea was to hide drones inside those houses Mobiles that simulate being standard housing units. These structures had to have autonomous energy systems (Solar panels and batteries special) to keep the vehicles unmanned loaded, even in extreme winter temperatures, waiting for the final order. Russian restrictions on the importation of technological components made a tactic as old as the wars themselves: The briberyin this case to customs agents to introduce the materials. No one knows (almost) nothing. Secretism, apparently, was total: each group worked with compartmentalized informationthe engineers who manufactured the drones ignored their real purpose, as well as those who assembled the prefabricated houses they did not know that they housed weapons. In Maliuk’s wordsit was “a tactical symphony” with multiple critical but autonomous parts. Surgical precision. Thus, the morning of the attack, 117 modified FPV drones with double explosive load They were activated from the mobile roofs of the camouflaged houses. Each artifact was directed by A selected operator Among the best in the country, who was assigned A specific objective: A specific plane, whose location and environment were studied with detailed models. Loads They were designed To penetrate the fuselage first and then detonate inside, maximizing damage to key points such as fuel deposits, missile launchers and electronic systems that Russia cannot easily replace. Although Maliuk avoided detailing the communication systems used to The remote guidanceconfirmed that they were multiple and sophisticatedspecially designed to avoid interference and guarantee success. Strategic consequences. The Spiderweb Operation It was just the first blow. Two days later, Ukraine He executed another offensive of wingspan against the Kerch bridge, symbol of the Russian occupation of Crimea, using submarine explosives of 1,000 kilos. Although traffic was restored, the coup had a clear symbolic and strategic effect. Russia replied With a massive wave of drones and missiles that reached civil areas of kyiv, leaving dozens of victims. Far from causing a decalized, the Ukrainian action confirmed A new level In the technological war and demonstrated kyiv’s ability to achieve very much within the enemy territory. According to MaliukSpiderweb is just a sample of the potential of Ukrainian intelligence to alter the rules of the conflict, and represents a logistics, technical and human effort “unified in a single structure.” The future of wars. It We have slipped On other occasions. In full Russian offensive, and given the constant pressure on Ukrainian cities, the Spiderweb operation Mark a milestone In the modern war. Not only because of the depth of scope (from bases in Ukraine to Russian facilities in Siberia), but also for The operational model: Fragmentation of knowledge between operators, bribes, use of civil camouflage, innovation in light armament and ability to launch high precision attacks without resorting to large conventional platforms. In words of Maliuk himselfthis is just “the tip of the iceberg” regarding the work of your agency with drones, networks of agents and undercover operations. In a conflict that is increasingly freed with bits and algorithms than with armored divisions, the offensive showed that the 21st century war is defined by who dominates the stealth, well above the brute force.

Years ago the “Paypal Mafia” redefined our vision of the Internet. Today the “OpenAi Mafia” points to the same with the AI

by

When Ebay bought PayPal In 2002 for 1.5 billion dollars, there was an internal earthquake. In the four years following the acquisition, only 12 of the company’s original employees were left. Paypal was a boiling talent, Entrepreneurship And brilliant people, and who “Ebay escaped” They ended up redefining the technological world. Now we are attending a similar phenomenon, but with another company: OpenAi. PayPal Mafia. This was baptized by the group of bright ex -employed PayPal who left the company to found your own startups. These projects ended up becoming true business and technological successes, and showed that in PayPal there was a lot of talent waiting for their own opportunity to undertake. The most outstanding examples of that mafia Paypal already make clear the dimension of that phenomenon: Elon Musk: The clearest example of how far the members of the PayPal Mafia arrived. He founded or co -founded SpacexOpenAi, Neuralinkand The Boring Company, in addition to buying a majority participation in Tesla and Acquire Twitter (Now x). Peterthiel: is the president of Palantirhe created the Founders Fund Investment Fund – which would later attract former partners like Ken Howery or Luke Nosek – and was the first Facebook external investor. Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim: these three former PayPal employees YouTube co -founded Reid Hoffman: He founded LinkedIn Russel Simmons and Jeremy Stoppelman: Yelp co -founded Yishan Wong: He worked on Facebook and became CEO of Reddit for a season David O. Sacks: Founded Geni.com and Yammer They redefined the Internet. These engineers and entrepreneurs were a fundamental part of the transition to an internet focused on consumers, something surprising especially after the bubble of the Puntocom in 2001. Rarely in history there has been a phenomenon in former employees of the same company end up creating one or several companies even more successful than the one they left, but there is a previously relevant previous example. The eight traitors. In 1957 eight engineers, fed up with his boss in Seticonductor Laboratory Shockley, decided to lite the blanket and create their own semiconductor company. They called her Fairchild Semiconductor Corp, and those employees They went down in history like the eight traitors. Fairchild had a huge success, but ten years later his engineers also looked for new roads. Three of them –Gordon MooreRobert Noyce and Andy Grove – ended up joining in 1968 to create a legendary company: Intel. The other Paypal Mafia is the OpenAi mafia. Those phenomena seem to be now having a new iteration, but this time the company of which all this new movement is starting is OpenAi. This company has become absolute reference in the field of AI, but on the way to achieve this there has been a true internal war and many conflicts between several of the engineers and their CEO, Sam Altman. Those internal tensions were the ones caused the dismissal and later return to the company of Altman In November 2023, but the company was not the same since then. OPENAI MAFIA members. Actually the divisions that occurred in Openai began very soon, almost shortly after the startup were formed. In fact, the first member of that “Openai Mafia” was also from the Paypal Mafia: It is none other than Elon Musk. It is a clear example, but not the only one, and the members of that OpenAi mafia are the following: Elon Musk: OpenAi co -founder that ended declaring war on the company and Sam Altman. Co -founded XAI Dario and Daniela Amodei: these brothers co -founded Anthropicthe company that develops the family of Ia Claude models. John Schulman: After being one of Openai’s main researchers, he left the company to join Anthropic. Others former investigators and engineers Openai like Tom Brown, Jared Kaplan, or Sam McCandlish also joined the company later. Jan Leike: This researcher who worked in Deepmind and OpenAi He left this company and joined Anthropic in May 2024. His work focuses on the development of a “safe” (“super -align”) and scalable. Ilya Sutskever: Openai co -founded and it was her Chief Scientist, but in 2024 left the company To create your own startup, Safe Superintelligence. Look Murati: Openai’s exco also decided leave the company something after Sutskever, and just Create Thinking Machinesanother startup of AI. Bob McGrew, who also left Openai recently, have joined that project. Josh Tobin and Vicki Cheung: These engineers also came out of Openai to found Gantry, another startup of ia. David Luan: After being one of the top engineering responsible for OpenAi, he ended up co -founding Adept AI Labs. Andrej Karpahty: After working on Tesla’s autonomous driving systems and then in OpenAi, this expert and disseminator ended up founding Eureka Labs. Many promises, few realities. The fundamental difference between these two “mafias” is that while in the PayPal Mafia those companies that founded its creators were absolute balls, the situation of those startups that Openai exingenier have created is an absolute unknown. Safe Superintelligence Ya raised 1,000 million dollars in 2024 and it is rumored that Thinking Machines soon It will lift 2 billion of dollars. None of them have launched any product for the moment, and in these new companies there is a lot of expectation – and, talent is supposed – but little else. The future will say whether the impact of these former OpenAi employees is comparable to that of PayPal’s ex -employees.

650 km/h in seven seconds

Next August 17 years of the Beijing Olympic Games will be completed. Games that served the country, as always in this type of events, to sell to the rest of the world. But in the Chinese case it also served to modernize the infrastructure of the country and project the image that we were attending the definitive launch of a new superpower. One of those hallmarks was the launch of the first high -speed line In the country. China opened its first high -speed rail line, then 120 kilometers between Beijin and Taijin. By then, in Spain we had been enjoying high speed 16 years, from the AVE Madrid-Sevilla from 1992. Japan did the same since 1964 when Tokyo’s Olympic Games also promoted The high speed network. 17 years after those first 120 kilometers, China is The country of the world with more kilometers of high -speed roads. They are followed by Spain and Japan. The country has passed through the right to those who were the great referents in the sector. And not only that, promises for the future are still surprising. A MAGLEV at 650 km/h While the country continues to expand its roads, the next great expected milestone is at the very high speed they can get with their trains. And the evidence tells us that they are on the right track. Or, at least, that they begin to have enough technology to position themselves at a little less level than unattainable. Just a few days ago, in the tests with your Maglev more advanced managed to reach 650 km/h in seven seconds In your laboratory. But the very high figure is not the only striking thing. From China they say that to reach this speed They barely needed 600 meters. The acceleration and detention capacity of the train is brutal because the test tunnel barely measures 1,000 meters. A ridiculous distance with the usual tests that are performed in high speed, with roads that extend for tens of kilometers. AND The promise is to reach 800 km/h as maximum speed. To get to this point, China also wants to be the undisputed queen of the Maglev. These trains work by magnetic levitation. The train travels just over the road, taking advantage of a magnet system that keeps it on the railroad but that allows it to move without generating friction on it. This allows Magleb reach such high speeds. For the moment, The fastest maglev in the world It reaches 431 km/Hy is in operation in the railroad that unites Beijing and Shanghai. Yes, the same that has managed to put the airlines in check because Your 1,300 kilometers journey just lasts four hours. For years, China and Japan live their particular space career. Japan has managed to exceed 600 km/h In experienced evidence but China is still ahead. The big challenge now is make useful trains that can move at this speed, to seek commercial viability to them and, above all, provide them with the necessary infrastructure. For example, The tunnels have a problem To travel at such high speeds because within them the train itself creates so high pressures that they can be annoying for passengers and, above all, compromise trains’ safety. Problem that China may be willing to save if it is about showing financial muscle and work capacity. If you don’t believe it, Danyang-Kunshan’s big bridgewhere the high -speed line between Beijing and Shanghai circulates, it is a good example of this with its more than 160 kilometers long.

Chinese government subsidies policies

by

Apple’s relationship with discounts in the West is different from that of most of its rivals, an almost philosophical issue. The PVP of its products remains practically unchanged throughout the life cycle. There are no more headphones iPhone offers, discount checks or promotional launch offers. There is a product with a price, and point. This strategy, key to preserving its margins, is flying through the air in Asia. Apple has had to surrender again to China to stop your vacuum drop. What happened. For the first time, Apple has begun to apply subsidies policy to electronic products within its primary distribution channel. In other words, Apple’s own website and its own stores have started showing They have selected products for a discount of up to 2,000 yuan (250 euros). iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Apple has not left a single product outside of Chinese subsidies, a movement that meets a very specific need of the company in China: stop collapsed in sales. Why it is important. Until now, Apple had only applied subsidies policy through third parties, in distributors such as JD.com and Tmall. A strategy to boost sales of key products like the iPhone keeping PVP intact in its primary sales channels. That Apple begins to apply offers in its most visible and direct portals attend to a crisis situation in China, with national rivals about to expel it from the Top 5. Why is it not surprising. Apple broke its golden rule at the beginning of 2025lowering the price of the iPhone in 500 yuan less than half a year of its launch. An unusual movement as a symptom of the battle to maintain its market share in a key country for the company. Although his brand philosophy is strong, Apple is willing to go through certain tolls to maintain its competitiveness in China. Their shipments fell 9% year -on -year and It is the only Top 5 that goes back in quota. Between 2023 and 2025, Apple’s sales have fallen in China, going from being the first manufacturer in the country to survive for staying in the top 5. companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi struggle for number one, and rivals such as honor, oppa and living touch 15% who threatens to take Apple from Top Tier. What’s happening. McGee points out in his book “Apple in China” How the iPhone ended up becoming a status symbol in China. Apple did everything possible to adapt to the local ecosystem, and managed know-how (Engineers, own equipment in foreign factories, titanic investment). At the same time, China is a country that has been fighting for its technological independence decades. A struggle that has become even more fierce with the recent tariff tensions imposed by the United States. Huawei has, since its launch, being a pillar for the Chinese technology industry, and in these last two years the country has turned to it. Your sales figures are triggeredand its Alcista Trend For the next months in mobile phones it seems unstoppable. It does not seem enough. The subsidy policy in China allows to apply discounts of up to 15% for products of less than 6,000 yuan (about 720 euros to change) and up to 20% for products of less than 10,000 yuan (1,200 euros to change), something that will allow Apple to boost sales in key products such as iPhone 15 and 16. Despite this, the growth of rivals like Huawei does not seem to have limits, at a time when geopolitical tensions are redoubled national support for the Chinese manufacturer.

Russia in five years

“Donald, you have taken us to a crucial moment for the United States, Europe and the world. Europe is going to pay, as it should be, and it will be your victory.” With those words he went in A private message Mark Rutte, NATO general secretary, Donald Trump, who did not hesitate to make praise public. In the background, that summit that It is taking place With the expense in defense of the 5% of GDP For European countries as the main theme. Spain still He has not said yesbut there is something that aims to tip the balance definitely. Reinforced commitment. I told it in Exclusive Guardian. Rutte would have confirmed that the 32 member countries have accepted significantly their defense expenditure, even 5 % of GDPand they would have done it for a very simple reason: in direct response to the growing threat which represents Russia. The decision, taken on the eve of the Alliance Summit in the beech that is taking place, is based on the conviction that Moscow could be able to attack an NATO member within a period in a period three to five years. Rutte also stressed that Russia already produces four more times Ammunition that all NATO Board, despite having a much lower economy in size, which requires an immediate increase in the resources assigned to defense and security. The new goal It breaks down In that announced 3.5% for direct military expenditure and an additional 1.5% for cybersecurity, intelligence and other strategic aspects. The warning of Germany. The threat is not new. A few weeks ago he was the head of the German General Staff, General Carsten Breuer, who launched one of the more overwhelming warnings to date from NATO breast: Russia could be in a position to launch a direct attack against one or several alliance members, in particular the Baltic states, before 2029. He did it within the framework of the Shangri-La Security Summit in Singapore, where Breuer said that Russian military accumulation is of such magnitude that an aggression cannot be ruled out even before that date. The general explained that Russia would be producing around 1,500 tanks a year And more than four million artillery rounds of 152 mm, many of which are not allocated to Ukraine but to strategic reserves and new military structures oriented towards the West. According to allied intelligence services, these data reflect not only capacity, but a clear intention to prepare for a direct confrontation With NATO. Screenshots of the text message sent by RUTTE to Trump, published by the president of the United States in his social network Systemic threat. Breuer explained That Kremlin does not see war in Ukraine as an isolated conflict, but as part of a structural escalation against NATO. Hence recent hybrid attacks such as cable sabotage submarines in the Baltic, cyber attacks against European public transport, and unidentified drones on key infrastructure in Germany. The Russian objective would be to prove the strength of allied defenses and identify vulnerable points, such as the known “Suwalki runner”that strategic strip between Poland and Lithuania that connects the Baltic states with the rest of the NATO flanked by Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. In Breuer’s opinionit is essential that all the members of the Alliance understand the seriousness of the moment: while in Germany “smoke is only seen on the horizon”, in Estonia “the heat is already felt and the flames are seen.” The strategic plant. Had yesterday in a exclusive the independence kyiv A Russian maneuver that has been brewing to the heat of war in Ukraine. Apparently, its strategic missile plant In Votkinsk It has expanded massively, avoiding international sanctions with the help of suppliers from China, Taiwan and Belarus. This state installation, key to missile production Iskander-M short -range and intercontinental missiles such as The Yars and The Bulavaha tripled its production In a year and currently accumulates a sufficient arsenal to hold attacks for at least two years. In addition to building new facilities, hiring more than 2,500 workers and acquiring 7,000 industrial equipment, many of them imported through intermediaries, growth has been funded by Government subsidies Russian. Despite Western sanctions, the plant has received advanced Chinese and Taiwanese machinery through disguised commercial routes. China in the shadow. Not just that. The medium stressed that, in addition, Chinese companies supply Key supplies such as titanium and fuel components. For Ukrainian intelligence, this industrial reinforcement not only seeks to replace what is used in Ukraine, but also prepare for prolonged war and expand the global nuclear attack capacity. Votkinsk, in that sense, represents the epicenter of An expanded network of Russian war production that already transcends the Ukrainian conflict and points to a prolonged confrontation scenario with the West. Missile transfer in Moscow Trump and cohesion. As for the meeting in The Hague, despite the historical tensions between Trump and the NATO, Rutte He has assured That the US president (who has publicly questioned the very existence of the Alliance) is “absolutely committed” to her, although he made it clear that Washington expects more effort from its European partners. The friction: Spain. We have already coming counting. The 5% proposal that is expected has not been adopted without disagreements. Spain He has refused Officially to formally join the common objective, considering it “unreasonable”, and has offered an alternative commitment to spend 2.1% of GDP, arguing that your national defense industry allows you to save significant costs. This position generated Trump’s criticism, which He accused Spain of being a partner that brings little, as well as from Poland and Belgiumwhich warned that granting exceptions mine the NATO unity. Routte, however, minimized tensions, insisting that there are no special treatment, although the final statement of the summit allows Madrid for some flexibility to achieve its capacity commitments.

Anthropic trained his AI with millions of books with copyright. To a judge that has seemed correct (with a great asterisk)

by

Anthropic has just achieved a very important legal victory in that legal battle that the world of AI maintains with copyright and copyright for years. The sentence, favorable to Anthropic, can sit a great precedent for the rest of the cases in which AI companies have been sued for training their models with works with copyright. But be careful, because it has not been a total victory. ANTOPIC WIN. In the demand of three authors against Anthropic, the company was accused of downloading millions of books with copyright, in addition to buying some of them to scan and digitize them. The objective: train their AI models. Judge William Alsup has made clear In his sentence that “the use for training was a fair use.” Companies that develop AI models have always shielded in that concept of just use to argue how their models with all kinds of works, including those protected by copyright. Fair use. This legal criterion maintains that limited use of protected material is allowed without needing permission from the owner of those rights. In the laws of Copyright, one of the ways that judges have to determine if that type of activity is a fair use is to examine whether that use was “transformer.” Or what is the same, if something new has been created from these works. For Alsup “the technology in question is one of the most transformatives that many of us will see in our lives.” A victory with a great asterisk. Although the judge indicated that this training process was a fair use, he also determined that the authors could lead Anthropic to trial for hacking their works. The company argued that this was justified because it was “at least reasonably necessary to train LLMS.” For Alsup the issue is precisely that although they ended up buying some of them, he built a huge library for which he did not pay: “Anthropic downloaded more than seven million pirate copies of books, did not pay anything and retained these pirate copies in his library even after deciding that he would not use them to train their AI (at all or never again). The authors argue that Anthropic should have paid for these pirate copies of the library. This sentence coincides with it.” Thomson-Reuters’ precedent. A few months ago Thomson Reuters won a 2020 demand Against a so -called Ross Intelligence Startup. According to them, the company had reproduced material from its legal research division, called Westlaw. The judge rejected the arguments of the defense and declared that the argument for fair use could not be applied in that case. The sentence against Anthropic is right in the opposite direction and blesses that type of use … while companies buy the works with which they train their models. The company of AI, by the way, had already achieved a small legal victory In a previous case against Universal Music. Anthropic downloaded piecework books. In the trial it was revealed how the co -founder of Anthropic, Ben Mann, downloaded in winter 2021 data sets such as The so -called Books3 or libgen (Library Genesis) that they are nothing more than gigantic book compilations, many of which are protected by copyright. Goal is in the same. All companies that develop AI models have been trained with all types of data, including works protected by copyright, and they all face a similar situation. Goal, for example, downloaded 81.7 TB of books with copyright via Bittorrent to train their AI models. That makes the company of Mark Zuckerberg can end up suffering a destination similar to that of Anthropic, which has before him a new very dangerous judicial process for his finances. A potential fine of billions of dollars. As indicated in Wired, the minimum fine for this type of copyright rape is $ 750 per book. Alsup indicated that the illegally unloaded library of Anthropic consists of at least seven million books, and that means that the company faces a potentially huge fine. At the moment there is no date for that new trial. The endless battle of AI and copyright. This is the last episode of a soap opera that we will undoubtedly see many more chapters. Companies like Google, OpenAI either Perplexity They have been equally voracious when training their models and have devastated public (and not so public) data on the Internet. Copyright’s rape demands are accumulating, and cases such as Anthropic may sit a predictive disturbing for all of them if they did not buy the books they used to train their models.

Boadilla del Monte wants to be a pilgrimage place. So he has decided to build a 37 -meter colossal

by

Boadilla del Monte is known by the Palacio del Infante Don Luisyour source of Three pipes or the Convent of the incarnation, among other monumentsbut if the plans of an association of Catholics in the area go ahead in a short time it will be for something different: an effigy colossal of Christ that will overcome in size a The famous figure that crowns the Cerro Corcovadoin Rio de Janeiro. Your drivers, yes, will have nothing easy. They need to raise 17 million of euros. Not only do they want their sculpture to be the largest of its kind. They aspire to be a representation based on The holy sheet and with a huge mobile heart. Breaking molds. Throughout the world there are many, many effigies of Jesus, but few as iconic as the Redeemer of Corcovado, in Rio de Janeiro, a huge monument of Around 30 meters high (almost 40if the pedestal is taken into account) that was inaugurated In 1931. In Spain there is, however, who wants to make the competition with an even greater monument: a sculpture of Christ with open arms of 37 m high and 60 wingspan. With you, the Christ of Boadilla. The initiative starts from the Association of Devotos Heart of Jesus of Boadilla, a Catholic group that He wants to lift in that municipality of the Madrid community “The Sacred Heart of the world”. Its intention is to build the effigy between M 50, the Financial City and M 501, on a field of public ownership. For now, They assurehave the Plecet of the City Council, which in 2019 approved the project No opposition. A colossal work of 17 million. The location is not, however, the largest challenge of the company. Its drivers calculate that to get it ahead they need close to 17 million euros16 for construction itself and the remaining million to face “the management, communication and financing of the project”. They also want to raise them through donations from individuals or private organizations, without public funds or any institution such as the Catholic Church. For the moment, Precise The worldthey are quite far from that figure: today their crowdfunding has managed to gather around 95,000 euros. An objective: June 2030. The association not only handles an approximate budget. On its website also includes A schedule How you want to carry out the project. The first phase of financing started at the beginning of the year and will run until February 2026 with the aim of leaving the sculptural project ready, the general preliminary project and starting the crowdfunding campaign. During that first stage they hope to gather 135,000 euros. The second aspires to add five million, will last until June 2028 and will focus on the architectural project and permits. The objective of the association is that the construction of the effigy can begin in mid -2027 and the works last for about three years. If the Planning, It could be inaugurated during June 2030. For this, it will be necessary to carry out the third phase of the financing, of 11.86 million. The collective Recognize in any case that are “self -imposed” deadlines. “Nothing will prevent anticipating the result or that it suffers some delay.” And how do you want to do it? The monument draws attention for its size (37 meters high and 60 of size), but also for its approach. Input and although the association acknowledges that it has not yet defined “the constructive phase”, its Initial idea It is that the effigy combines various materials: the trunk and head would be built with reinforced concrete and arms extended with fiberglass or carbon. The most striking thing is what there will be within the figure. The interior of the effigy can be visited and will include a huge golden heart of around 2.5 meters in diameter that will rise and fall during the day. “Every morning, when the first rays of the sun cross the sore of its side and illuminate the heart, it will slowly descend to the ground with a pulleys mechanism. Then, when the night falls, the heart will return to its anatomical position and retro-pile it will light and light up,” They explain From the association. “With scientific methods”. It is not the only surprise. To shape sculpture, those responsible have decided to take as a reference a symbol of Christianity: Turin’s shroud. “The Holy sheet will be our guide to model sculpture and rebuild with scientific methods the true face of the man who left his mark on the canvas,” they claim. “The wounds and the site of the side will become cracks for which the light will cross the monument. The music will accompany us during our visit and we will listen to the heartbeat.” Your goal, emphasize The association is to create “a world pilgrimage place”, joins huge effigy that becomes the largest “largest heart in the world”. The nuance is important because if we talk about Christ’s sculptures, in general, there are much greater monuments. Not long ago Indonesia inaugurated a colossal statue of the “Salvador” of about 60 meters high In the same country there is another effigy, Buntu Burakearound 40 m.
