The new economy values ​​the story more than the numbers

by

The risk capital always has something perverse in its arithmetic. Nothing has closed a 200 million dollar round that triggers its valuation up to 1.3 billion. Its total sales since 2020 are barely 1,000 million, so Tiger Global, who leads the round, is paying in tomorrow what the company has not yet billed throughout its history. More than investment seems theology. Because Carl Pei does not sell phones but the promise of being the anti-establishment. That transparent design, with LED guts flashing like a mechanical heart, is marketing that disguises itself as a message and cause. Each nothing sold is someone saying “I am not like you, user of iPhone”, “I am not like you, who has an android without personality.” It is a rebellion against technological conformism, despite the fact that the mobile leaves the same Chinese factories financed with the same risk capital. But it works because Investors do not buy market share (Nothing does not reach 1% world), but narrative. Same reason why a telephone more sanitized that is never worth half than before: he Storytelling Milagros work. And Nothing’s is that perhaps the technological David can, someday, stagger Goliath. Carl Pei’s genius is, rather than in his narrative, in his Timing narrative: Launches the company just when OnePlus, its previous creationit was becoming predictable and one more. Promises be Ai first When the rest promise the same. Talk about smart glasses, humanoid robots and electric cars before demonstrating a profitable smart watch. He is the perfect entrepreneur for the era of the business fomo: credible enough not to look like a charlatan, ambiguous enough For each investor to project their own fantasies “X100”. In addition, the cast of investors says everything. Tiger Global leads, but there are all the usual suspects: Is patient capital disguised as Intelligent capital. They know that nothing probably never justifies that assessment with a balance in hand, but in the casino of the SeeNTURE CAPITAL You just need a file to fall into the correct number. The interesting thing is that PEI has built something real. Its products are at least competent. Some even good. Not everyone can say the same. He has created a brand that has fitted in that group with Apple-Samsung duopoly, to whom the Pixel leaves them cold and felt as a stab the rise in xiaomi prices. Careful, History is repeated. PEI has shown that a hardware company can be built from London: there is life beyond Silicon Valley, Suwon and Shenzen. The problem is not nothing, it is a system in which the history that you tell about your company is worth more than the company. Where “disruptive potential” is a blank check and where numbers are only for accountants. The lesson here is to understand that In the economy of attention, memorable design and narrative COhere they are worth more than the market share. Nothing has converted statistical inconsequence into cultural relevance. And that, in 2025, is quoted at 1,300 kilos.

Confirm that the summer of 2025 is the warmest since there are records is not enough. You have to understand why. And you have to do it fast

by

Astronomical summer is not over yet and it seems that the weather coincides with this, although we have already entered the month of September. However, experts from the State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) have already taken stock of the summer quarter of this year. We knew that this summer had been warm, but now we know that it has been the warmest. Since we have records. The summer of 2025 has been the warmest of the historical series in Spain (in 1961), according to has released recently Aemet. In peninsular Spain, the quarter between June and August has left us a thermal anomaly of 2.1º Celsius, taking as reference the period between 1991 and 2020. This year’s has also been a very warm summer on the islands: 1.5º above what would be common in Balearic Islands and 0.9º more in the Canary Islands. In the Peninsula, “excess heat” has been distributed quite homogeneously, although in important areas of the territory of communities such as Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, and Castilla and anomalies of more than 2.5º were seen. According to Explain Aemetit was precisely in Galicia and the two plateaus where anomalies of more than 3º are observed. Overcoming the record. The warmest summer until now had been the 2022. The new record exceeds the marking during that summer in just 0.1 and supposes the fourth consecutive year in which positive anomalies are recorded during the summer, always taking as reference the period between 1991 and 2020. June, the most anomalous month. A good part of the situation is due to the heat that We live in the month of June. The first month of this summer was not only the warmest June since there are records, it was also the 30 days with the greatest warm anomaly of which we have record: 3.6º Celsius. During that month the heat was especially concentrated in the east of the country, with a small area between Aragon and Catalunya exceeding 4.5º of thermal anomaly. What happened this summer? Summer was marked by a low atmospheric circulation, with anticyclonic conditions that allowed the intrusion of African heat in almost all of the peninsula. According to Aemet, this summer we saw three waves of heat, two that affected Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and another that reached the Canary Islands. The peninsular affected 40 provinces and lasted for 17 days, from June 18 to July 4. The Second heat wave It was still more intensegenerating an anomaly of 4.2º; It affected 42 provinces and lasted for 16 days, between August 3 and 18. Both heat waves were among the longest we have registered and turned 2025 in the second year with more days with active heat waves (33) after 2022 (41 days). And what about the rains? In addition to warm, summer this year has been dry, at least in peninsular Spain. They saw each other on average 57 mm of rain In the area, 81% of what would be common on these dates. The southwest quadrant was the most affected by the lack of rains, although rainfall was rather scarce in most of the country, except for some areas of the Ebro basin, center of the northern plateau, and some areas of the Mediterranean basin. The situation was unequal in the Balearic Islands, with the western part of the archipelago seeing few rainfall and the eastern area watching a more humid summer. Even more irregular what was seen in the Canary Islands, where together there was a wet summer (133% of the average rainfall for summer), but with very concentrated rainfall in specific areas.

The science of sleep is clear about the ideal time to go to sleep

by

Under normal conditions, six out of ten Spaniards sleep little and badly. What happens is that we are not “in normal conditions”, we are in September: a month in which the return to the routine and the autumnal asthenia They shake hands to immerse ourselves (hopefully temporarily) in a dreams of bad quality. And yes, that is a problem. Lack of sleep is related to immunological problems, Metabolic, Cardiovascular emotional and cognitive; With disorders such as diabetes or of the obesity. Not just that sleeping little causes us to be more tired and irritablebut Raise our stress levels And it makes us Assume more risks And make more wrong. But what is “lack of sleep? To get an idea, although optimal amounts change from one person to anotherall medical associations specialized in sleep recommend sleeping between seven and eight hours of sleep every night. Well then, According to the Spanish Sleep Societythe Spaniards sleep an average of 6.8 hours during the week. In addition, “75% of Spaniards wake up at least once At night, and 3 out of 10 directly affirm that they suffer from insomnia. “And, eye, the scientific evidence available tells us that we tend to think that we sleep better than we really do. Reality, surely, is much worse. And what do we do? The tips to improve “sleep hygiene” are known: Monitor food: A balanced diet, a light dinner and limited consumption of caffeine, alcohol or other stimulating substances. Create an adequate space: Quiet, pleasant, little illuminated and with a pleasant temperature. Exercise strategically: Fundamentally, playing sports regularly, but always a few hours before sleeping. And, above all, establish regular schedules: Go to bed and lift, as far as possible, always at the same time (including weekends). Although, of course, that leaves us a clear question: When are we going to sleep? That is, if we want to establish a clear and inflexible schedule, we need to know not how many hours we have to sleep, but what is the best time for it. And yes, this is hardly generalizable. Above all, because sleeping hours collide directly with things like our work, our family life or our leisure habits. However, we have some ideas that can help us. Let’s go to the data. The best study we have was carried out in 2021. In it, The European Cardiology Society used UK Biobank records, one of the most important medical and lifestyle information repositories in the world (with more than 500,000 volunteers between 37 and 73 years old). They selected 88,926 adults (with an average age of 61 years) that had taken some type of wrist device capable of registering the physical activity of the person for at least seven days. After analyzing a period of 5.7 years, they discovered that going to sleep between 22:00 and 23:00 at night is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease (already other related problems). In comparison, going to sleep between 23:00 and midnight entails 12% more risk of having this type of disease. Risk that rises to 25% for those who go to bed after twelve at night and stands at 24% for those who go to bed before 22:00. Can we move it directly to Spain? No, the truth is that no. It would be naive to think that the recommended schedules for a culture of copious and early dinners (such as English) are the same as those of a culture of light and late dinners (such as Spanish). However, they are the best data we have and, as María José Martínez Madrid saysCoordinator of the Chronobiology Working Group of the Spanish Sleep Society, the key relationship “comes mainly because of the mismatch that produces falling asleep late in the biological clock.” Therefore, it is a good indicator to reflect on our sleep guidelines. Especially now that, after summer, the world “starts again.” Image | Shane In Xataka | Thus influences the time to go to bed in the risk of developing a heart problem: these researchers believe they have found the exact time to go to sleep

How it works, inconveniences and how to activate it to combat spam calls

by

Let’s explain What is the call filter works of iOS 26with which you are going to have one more measure to protect yourself from stolen or telephone spam. These types of calls are a growing problem against which He is legislatingwith measures such as Force Use certain prefixes. However, none of these measures seems to be working, and the process of record and report spam calls It is a bit long, so many prefer or bother. Apple’s new method is not perfect, We will tell you some inconveniencesbut it is an extra layer of protection. How the new iOS filter works The new call filter of iOS 26 is specifically thought for the robollala. They are those calls that no human makes you, just a answering machine who sends you a message and then hangs, or even for the telephone advertising made by humans. What this filter does is that Siri acts as your answering machine. When it calls you an unknown number, instead of picking up the phone, Siri will ask you to say the name and reason for the call. And when the other person responds, then the call will arrive and you can read who he is and what he wants to decide whether you are interested in taking the call or not. This filter It will be activated with all the numbers you do not have on your agenda. Come on, if you call you a relative or friend whose number you have saved, the phone will usually sound, but if not, the protection with the answering machine of Siri will be applied. Another thing that is important is that The call will not sound to you from the beginning. First it will be Siri who answered asking the reason for the call, and only when the other person answers the call will come to you. This has inconvenience Apple’s idea is good, but it has a great inconvenience: if you call you a legitimate person I might think that the telephone bot is youand then you could lose an important call from someone you don’t have on the agenda. For example, it can be The call of a deliveryman That brings you the package of an online purchase. He thinks he calls you to tell you if he can happen, and instead of answering a person, Siri answers. The normal thing is that I hang thinking that your number has bad. In these cases, his call will never come to you, you will not even know what they have called you, because initially it does not sound. This can also happen with calls from the public administration, or simply with someone you know but whose number you do not have on your telephone agenda. How to activate this call filter To activate this call filter you must have an updated phone to iOS 26. Once you have it, enter the settings, and go to the section Apps. Here inside, click on the application Phone To enter your configuration. Once in the APP configuration options Phonego down to the section of Call filteringwhere can you Activate the option Request call To activate the filter.

A neutron core of the size of a bus

by

In the Ukraine War, nuclear It is not a purely arms issue. Among the most devastating scenarios that beat about the contest is the possibility of an error that leads to an unprecedented environmental disaster. We already knew that the Chernobil plant He had a hole And continue Without being able to repairbut the reach is much broader than the sadly famous plant. Under constant threat. The truth is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has not only transformed the military map of Europe, but has put at risk an extensive network of nuclear facilities that were never designed to resist bombings. Although international attention has focused on Zaporiyia Centralthe largest in Europe and in Russian hands since 2022the country houses multiple reactors, research laboratories and spent fuel deposits that make up a delicate risk mosaic. Among them stands out Institute of Physics and Technology from Járkov, where is the known device as Neutron Sourcewhich contains several tens of kilos of enriched uranium capable of polluting vast areas if they were dispersed. Located just 14 kilometers from the front, the building has suffered More than 70 impacts Russian ammunition confirmed, which fears that Moscow’s goal is not accidental, but deliberate. Járkov, military white. The Institute, which in Soviet times contributed to the design of The first atomic bomb From Moscow, he agreed in 2010 withdrawing his uranium suitable for armament and sending it to Russia under pressure from the United States, in a non -proliferation effort. However, still custody materials of enormous danger, such as high radiation uranium contained in Neutron Source, built with US financing in exchange for that resignation. The installation combines a core of the size of a school bus with a particle accelerator about 30 meters, surrounded by metal shields, but the building that houses it It lacks protection in front of attacks. The bombings have left cracks, have dropped plaster of the walls and reached destroy a transformer In 2022, plunging the complex in blackout months and forcing scientists to improvise heating systems to avoid irreversible damage to fuel bars. Ukraine accuses Russia of echocideclaiming that a direct impact could release radiation on an area inhabited by 640,000 people. The nuclear installation of Neutron Source in Járkov on April 4 Chernobil’s spectrum. We have gone counting. Since the beginning of the invasion, the nuclear catastrophe scenarios have been present. In February 2025, A Russian drone pierced The steel structure covered by the reactor 4 of Chernobil, the most contaminated area of ​​the planet, breaking its hermetic seal, although without immediate leaks. In Zaporiyia, repeated attacks have put the cooling of the six reactorsespecially after destruction in 2023 on a dam that forced to depend on an emergency pond and two electric lines vulnerable to artillery. Each incident envives the fear of a radiological accident that, even without being of the Magnitude of 1986could disperse contaminating materials by large areas of Eastern Europe. The mere synchronization of certain attacks, such as Chernobil’s On the eve of the Munich Security Conference, it is played by kyiv and its allies as strategic messages of the Kremlin, which uses nuclear risk as a weapon of political intimidation. Collateral effects Plus: Not only Ukrainian facilities are in danger. At the end of August, remains of an intercepted Ukrainian drone They damaged a station Transformer in the immediate vicinity of the Kursk Central, in Russian territory, forcing to reduce its production. The episode illustrated how war turns civil nuclear infrastructures into collateral damage to a military confrontation in which drones, missiles and artillery operate increasingly closest to high -risk objectives. The experts Remember That no central or research laboratory in Ukraine was built to withstand direct impacts of modern ammunition, so the prolongation of the conflict multiplies the probabilities of an accident. Between resilience and constant threat. Had the New York Times In a wide report that, despite the daily danger, the Ukrainian scientists of the Járkov Institute They continue with projects of nuclear fusion and experiments with radioactive hydrogen, collecting data that they expect to present in international conferences. The paradox of continuing to investigate under bombing reflects both the resilience of the personnel and the fragility of a country that, in addition to resisting militarily, must guard materials whose release would have devastating consequences. In the words of one of the center engineers to the TimesRussian attacks seem to lack logic, but their repetition suggests a pressure strategy through radiological risk. Until now the catastrophe has been avoided fortune and technical contingenciesbut every day of war prolongs a pulse in which radiation could become involuntary or deliberate weapon, with effects that would overflow the borders of Ukraine.

More than 30% ends in the hands of non -residents

by

Spain awakens the appetite of foreigners who want to buy/invest in housing. Or at least like that, it was in 2024, one year still marked by The effect of the Golden Visa. The data of the College of Registrars shows that about 15% From all transactions they were starred in foreign citizens. And not just that. Its weight was especially palpable in tourist areas, such as the Balearic Islands, Valencian Community or the Canary Islands, where they came to be around 30%. In certain points especially tensioning the demand was also intense by foreigners who do not even reside in Spain. As an example, in the first quarter of 2025 They monopolized 32% of Alicante transactions. A figure: 93,000. In the Spanish real estate market, foreign accents sound strongly. This was at least last year if we take into account the data collected by the College of Registered in His last yearbookin which the number of housing purchases formalized by foreign citizens is included in almost 93,000. In percentage terms, that equals 14.6% of all operations. The figure is interesting for two reasons. The first, because that 14.6% is very close to the maximum of the historical series of the College of Registrars, reached the previous year and that stood in 14.98%. The second reason is its volume. Perhaps the percentage is not as high as that of 2023, but in absolute terms the total operations was much higher: that year they were counted about 87,400while in 2024 the foreign demand gave rise to 93,000 purchases. Autonomous Community % purchase of foreigners (2024) Annual variation (PP) Balearic Islands 32.62% +1.12% Valencian Community 28.92% -0.34% Canary Islands 27.23% -1.31% Murcia region 23.63% -0.21% Catalonia 16.26% +0.47% Andalusia 13.97% -0.98% Total Spain 14.6% -0.38% With the map in hand. That 14.6% represents the “footprint” of foreigners in the total housing purchases registered last year. That is, it shows a global fact, at the national level. The thing changes when get down to detail and we analyze the different regions or provinces. There are points such as Extremadura, Galicia, Castilla y León or Cantabria, in which the operations starring foreigners do not mean 4% of the total. In others that percentage is triggered clearly. The most obvious case is that of the Balearic Islands. There almost a third of all housing purchases (32.6%) were signed by foreign citizens. It is followed by the Valencian Community (28.9%), the Canary Islands (27.2%), the Region of Murcia (23.6%), Catalonia (16.3%) and Andalusia (13.9%). The Balearic Islands are not just those that show a higher percentage. As if that did not make them stand out in itself, it is also the region that shows a greater interannual increase, of 1.1%. Can you go further? Yes. Thanks to The statistics of the Ministry of Transport, which allow answering a crucial question: how many of those foreigners who met houses in Spain last year really reside here? Throughout 2024 the administration registered 715,678 transactions, according to ministerial data. By classifying the type of buyer, 56,777 are attributed to foreigners “not resident in Spain.” That is, 8%. Territory Total transactions (2024) Non -resident foreigners Percentage Alicante 57,090 20,169 35.3% Malaga 37,719 10,500 27.8% Santa Cruz de Tenerife 12,445 2,728 21.9% Balearic Islands 15,464 3,932 25.4% Territory Purchases (1st T 2025) Non -resident foreigners Percentage (1st t 2025) Percentage (1st T 2015) Alicante 14,914 4,856 32.5% 36.8% Malaga 9,754 2,811 28.8% 30% Santa Cruz de Tenerife 3,290 781 23.7% 27.6% Balearic Islands 3,979 848 21.3% 25.1% Above 20%. This percentage is however superior if we analyze in detail the data of provinces or territories especially crowded by tourists from other countries. In Alicante for example, foreign buyers not residing in Spain represented 35.3% of transactions, in Malaga, 27.8%, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 21.9% and in the Balearic Islands reached 25.4%. The photo updated. A few weeks ago economist Marta Suárez-Varela published A graph In X with data from the first quarter that show that 2025 has started with a very similar ‘photography’. In the case of Alicante, the percentage of non -resident foreign buyers on the total transactions stood at 32.6%, in Malaga it was 28.8%, of 23.7% in Sta. Cruz de Tenerife and 21.3% in the Balearic Islands. The data also start from government records. The graph It is revealing because it finds that purchases by non -resident foreigners are particularly relevant in markets with strong tourist pressure. In addition to those mentioned, Las Palmas, Murcia, Girona, Almería, Castellón, Valencia, Huelva, Tarragona, Granada, Cádiz and Barcelona are listed on Top 15. Government statistics also suggest that the purchases of foreigners in these areas have been high for years. In fact, their percentages were higher in 2015. In the opposite pole are Álava, Albacete, Palencia, Ávila or Valladolid. But what do they buy? The data of the College of Registrars give some more brushstrokes. For example, it shows that 7.5% of mortgages About housing counted by the agency last year, foreigners were signed, 13.1% more than in 2023. Its footprint stands out in the Balearic Islands, Valencian Community, Catalonia and Murcia, although registrars do not distinguish between residents or non -residents. The average amount of their credits was 171,200 euros and Those who bought the most They were the British, followed by Germans, Moroccans, French, Dutch, Romanians and Italians. If we talk about second -hand houses, the Bulgarians, Gauls and Moroccans stand out. If we do it from a new construction, the Belgians, Poles and Dutch. Click on the image to go to Tweet. What … and when. The Yearbook of the Registrars slides a fact that might seem irrelevant, but it is crucial to better understand what happened in 2024 in the Spanish real estate market. 10.8% of housing purchases starring foreigners reached or even exceeded 500,000 euros, the “maximum of the historical series”, Clarify The agency before remembering that in 2023 that same percentage of 9.7%.

In the non -quantifiable part, your podcast ‘The Wild Project’ is tremendously influentialand generate millions of viewers and listen every month. However, there is not so much talk about the Jordi Wild entrepreneur, which has managed to build an authentic empire. Your figure It is not far from the controversy and the controversybut the numbers are indisputable: Jordi is doing well. An unstoppable ascent. The YouTuber and Podcasts created its YouTube channel ‘in 2013The Rincón de Giorgio‘, initially with a content very similar to that of others of his time: gameplaysreaction and parodies videos. But soon he cultivated it with a more personal content: current debates, criminal psychology … in 2020 he started with ‘The Wild Project’, which currently On YouTube It approaches the 7 million subscribers, and more than 95,000 in podimo. Its impact is reflected in the waves that it won last year and also in its accounts, deposited in the Mercantile Registry and have analyzed In digital economy. The numbers. In 2024, his company Project Entertainment reached a turnover of 2.4 million euros, which represents a growth of no less than 40% compared to 1.7 million 2023. Translation: benefits of 1.35 million, with an increase close to 20% compared to the previous year, where 1.1 million was reached. There is another way of saying it: Mercadona’s net benefit is 4%, Inditex’s 15%, Jordi Wild’s 56%. The comparison is unfair, of course: the business volume is neither remotely comparable and Jordi Wild has much more growth space than these consolidated companies, but the comparison makes sense in terms of business. And more numbers. Project Entertainment is in Manresa, and in 2024 he contributed 114,945 euros in taxes on benefits, approximately 8% of his profits before taxes.

Chery trusted Spain to assault the European market without tariffs. Europe has another opinion

by

Europe, China and cars. A bomb that, for now, has resulted in the imposition of tariffs on the electric car. The European objective is that Chinese manufacturers invest in Europe if they want to sell their electric cars at the price that pleases them. Chery thought that Spain would be his gateway to the market of our continent. The European Commission believes that it is not enough. “It’s not a good model”. The definition is by the Executive Vice President of the Commission for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné. The Frenchman expressed in these terms collected by The newspaperwhile ensuring that relations between China and Europe are “in the midst of nowhere.” What is about the model that Chery has implemented in Barcelona, ​​a factory where, at least for the moment, only cars that previously arrive mounted from China are completed. It is the easiest way to put the label Made in Spain to a product that, in reality, has very little of Spanish. DKD. Or, what is the same, Direct Knock Down. This is what the way of working is called that Chery employ in Barcelona. In summary, cars arrive in semi -ado containers and the only thing that is done in Spain is to finish marrying the last parts as if they were the four large groups of pieces of a puzzle that, in reality, is made up of thousands of them. The process is so advanced that, in fact, cars in Barcelona are not even painted. The intention, in the future, is to jump to the CKD (Complete Knock Down), in which the pieces do not arrive welded or painted but do produce entirely in China. The cars produced under this system are the Ebro that, although rescue the name of a Spanish brand, They are actually entirely Chinese. “Low quality”. In his statements, Séjourné, has insisted that “a factory on the outskirts of Barcelona in which a car occurs with all Chinese components generates Low quality jobs And it does not suppose any added value for the European industry. “And he emphasizes:” The solution does not go on to maintain tariffs, but neither by a factory in Barcelona in which cars are assembled with all Chinese components. “ Although hard, the words of the vice president of the commission are not new in the car market. In fact, Chery had already received Europe’s notice that, working in this way would not free him from tariffs to his electric cars. At the moment, the Omoda 5 and Jaecoo 7 They continue to arrive from China but as they have combustion engines they are not taxed with tariffs. The electric omoda 5, however, is punished with a fee that in the case of Chery reaches 21% (which adds to 10% base for all cars from China, electric and non -electric). It is no accident that the company has delayed its incorporation to the Catalan plant without the confirmation of taking out its cars through the doors of the free zone without being punished with tariffs. “In nobody’s land”. As we said, Séjourné pointed out that negotiations between Europe and China are stopped. In his day, Europe taxed tariffs on Chinese electric cars but left the door open to those who take combustion engines, both pure and plug -in hybrids. This was seen as a hand tended to negotiation. Not imposing tariffs on this type of cars has allowed Chinese brands to have taken advantage of the entrance door of countries where cheaper cars are bought, such as Spain. In fact, Chery herself with just six cars in the market (distributed between Ebro, Omoda and Jaecoo) They already add more than 19,800 units In the first eight months of the year. And only three of those six cars have been selling the full year. That open door to a negotiation seemed to consolidate a few months ago. In April it was confirmed that Europe and China seemed willing to reach some kind of agreement between the two countries. The last thing we have known since then have been these last statements. They are not the only. What Europe wants is that Chinese manufacturers invest in our continent and generate business here. To skip those tariffs, everything indicates that companies have to assemble their cars in our soil but also generate a local industry that generates value through the Component provision. This way of acting by Chinese manufacturers is not something exclusive that they do in Europe. Byd is used very similarly in Thailand. But European manufacturers are also used in the same way in those markets that are veiled with tariffs, as happens in Algeria. Country that, tired of these practices, has already warned Renault that they will have to invest more money.

An educational plan asked to transform teaching with AI. The problem is that it brought a dozen invented sources

by

The story has some irony: a report of more than 400 pages about education, which took a year and a half to be written in a province of Canada, has been uncovered with a crack difficult to repair. According to CBC Newsthe document contains a variety of false sources, from alleged academic articles to a film that never existed. The contradiction is striking: a text designed to guide schools and universities in times of AI, indicated precisely for an error that reminds of the “hallucinations” of the generative models themselves. What has happened exactly. The document in question is titled ‘A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: TRANS Transforming and Modernizing Education‘. It was presented at the end of August as a ten -year roadmap to transform public and university education into Terranova and Labrador. Its launch was accompanied by great expectations: to serve as a guide for the future of the education system in a province that seeks to adapt to the digital age and the challenges of artificial intelligence. What was not expected is that, after its publication, it would be discovered that at least fifteen of its bibliographic references do not exist. We can find titles impossible to locate in academic databases and that, in some cases, seem copied to fictional examples used in style guides. This finding opened an immediate debate about the reliability of the report and on the supervision of the process that led to its writing. Official reactions contained. The Department of Education recognized the existence of a small number of possible errors in the appointments and assured that they will be corrected in the online version. One of the co -author, Karen Goodnough, just pointed out in an email to the aforementioned medium that “references are being investigated and reviewed, without giving interviews with local media. Today, however, access to the report itself has been complicated: the original link in which it was published He no longer shows it and returns an error 404. Only remains visible in a filed copy. Invented appointments. Among the most striking examples is the mention of an alleged 2008 film produced by the National Film Board, entitled ‘Schoolyard Games’. The agency itself confirmed that this work never existed. The reference, however, appears in the report with all the details of a real bibliographic record, as if it were a verifiable source. The track led to discover something even more disturbing: The appointment matches word by word with an entry included in a university style guide used as a model to write bibliographies. That manual explicitly warns that many of its references are fictitious and are designed only as examples. Despite this, some ended up integrated in the final document as if they were authentic. It is striking because the document not only speaks of AI, but also reserves a specific chapter: use it to customize the teaching, support teachers and simplify administrative processes, while driving competencies in AI, responsible practices and protection of privacy. In its “Calls to Transformion” it proposes to modernize the school system and prepare students for a digital environment where these technologies will be part of the day to day. Was the generative used? The finding of false quotes opened another inevitable question: to what extent did artificial intelligence intervene in the preparation of the report? According to CBC News, some teachers fear that these references have been created with a language model, since these types of systems usually generate plausible titles that do not actually exist, but for now there are no conclusive evidence.
