Congress was regulated by food waste in Spain. And it has ended up approving wolves hunting

by

The Wolf It sneaks In Congress. Again. And this time with such resounding consequences and after such an unexpected turn that has even called attention of the foreign press. Yesterday the lower house He endorsed That the wolf loses the armor he had achieved in 2021 and can be funded again north of the Duero, something that the PP had tried In 2024. Moreover, Congress has also opened the door that if the community legal framework changes (and in Brussels They already work so that it is) the protection of the wolf is reduced to the south of the river. The curious thing is the shortcut that has been used to retouch the wolf’s legal framework: The law on food waste. What happened? That the wolf has begun to lose its legal armor in Spain. Or what is the same, it will fallen again. At the moment north of the Duero, although once changed The community regulatory framework (Something what He already works the European Commission) its protection could also be reduced to the south. The key step for this regulatory modification was given yesterday in Congress thanks to the votes of the PP, Vox, Junts and PNV. What exactly has changed? The legal framework. Yesterday, during the processing of the food waste law, the lower house gave green light to several amendments centered on the wolf and basically return the species to the situation in which it was before 2021when It was added to the list of wild species in special protection regime (Lespres), What in practice vetoed his hunt north of the Duero, something that already happened to the south of the river. To be precise, yesterday the Congress voted Several thingsnot always with the same distribution of support (Junts abstained in an amendment and backed others, for example). The most important points are basically two. The first is A change In the Royal Decree developed by Lespres to eliminate the protection of the populations of wolf north of the Duero, allowing autonomies to decide on their hunt. And the other modification? The second change looks beyond, both in the calendar and territorial level. During the vote of yesterday the Congress He opened the door that the protection of the wolf can also be reduced to the south of the Duero if the legal armor of the wolf is modified at the community level. Maybe it sounds like something distant or abstract, but it is not. The EU has already activated its Administrative machinery To reduce the status of the species now and go from “strictly protected” to “protected.” In December the CE itself He informed that his proposal had brought the support of the Permanent Committee of the Bern Convention. And once that initial obstacle has not surpassed, it has not taken long in get to work To retouch the habitat directive. How have they achieved it? In Spain the wolf has been starring in political chronicles for some time. That is not new. In April 2024 the Congress already gave A first step In the same direction so that the species cease to be untouchable. The really curious thing about yesterday’s movement, beyond the bottom, is the form. How it has been done. The PP took advantage of the new Loss prevention law and food waste to incorporate its amendment on wolf hunting during the previous process in the Senate. The turn is so curious that it has even caught the attention of The international pressalthough the popular amendment has managed to connect both issues: the food waste and the legal status of the wolf. Its main argument is that with their attacks on sheep and cows directly affect the sector, generating tons of waste. “They suppose an impact on the generation of livestock foods of four million kilos of meat, since there were more than 14,000 dead cattle between calves, cows, foals and sheep,” collect the amendment. Before even the vote in Congress, the Association for the Defense and Study of the Iberian Wolf (ASCEL) already labeled “offensive” and “abuse of power” that the legal status of the wolf is addressed in a law dedicated to waste. Have there been reactions? Yes. In every way. For the PP the objective is “End the nightmare” that thousands of farmers live. The minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, sees it differently and He warned Wednesday that lowering the protection of the wolf in Spain would be a “precipitated, reckless” movement and “contrary to science.” Outside the political arc, the measure has generated different reactions. Yesterday the Royal Spanish Hunting Federation (RFEC) celebrated A decision that, in his opinion, will help “the conservation” of the species and its “coexistence” with livestock. In another release Much harder environmentalist in action spoke of “hate” and “killing”, and warned: the amendment “turns its back on science.” What do the figures say? Recently Juan Carlos Blanco, an expert in the species, explained to The country that right now in Spain there are between 330 and 340 herds of wolves, which would result in some 2,300 animals. The vast majority (95%) are distributed in areas affected by the normative change endorsed by Congress, in Castilla y León, Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria. The Ministry for Ecological Transition warned These days that you are collecting data precisely to advance in its “responsible management.” If the wolf has sneaked into the political debate, both Spanish and European, it is for another aspect: its impact on rural and livestock. Just a year ago The PP warned that communities such as Cantabria or Galicia are giving “subsidies for the protection of their livestock” because “there are 35 attacks on average.” Moreover, he estimated that since the wolf had legally armored the number of lost animals exceeded the million. Now, once the new modification was published in the BOE, it will be the autonomies that will determine how many wolves may be hunt.

The question is if the ‘True Crime’ is getting too far

by

The edition of the book ‘El Odio’, in which José Bretón confesses the murder of his children, has been paralyzed after numerous requests of Ruth Ortiz, woman of the murderer, by the editorial itself that I was going to publish it, Anagrama. Although they believe they have the right to edit it, for the moment they stop the process until there is a legal pronouncement on Ortiz’s requests. A decision that, in any case, puts on the table the controversial literary works written by murderers, and that are lately arriving at the Spanish editorial panorama. The Breton case. José Bretón killed his two children Ruth and José in Córdoba in 2011, but since 2013 and for 12 years he kept his innocence. The book ‘The Hate’ includes the correspondence he has maintained with the journalist Luisgé Martín and in which he finally confesses the crime, which he carried out poisoning them and subsequently incinerating the bodies. Breton was convicted and turns 25 in prison in the maximum security prison of Herrera de la Mancha. The book that was not. ‘Hate’ was going to be published on March 26, with the undoubted commercial hook to include Breton’s confession. As soon as Ruth Ortiz was announced, he went to the service of victims of Andalusia, with whom he presented a letter to the Prosecutor’s Office (first of Córdoba, after Barcelona, ​​where the publisher is) asking that the publication be stopped. The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, has expressed support for prevent Ortiz from revictimizing. Anagrama’s aforementioned message manifests his disagreement and mentions works such as Cold Blood ‘of Capote or’ The Adversary ‘of Carrère as precedents. New ways for True Crime. It is one of the Fashion genres indisputable within a morbid variant of the criminal documentaries of a lifetime. On platforms, every very little time triumphs a series or fiction film based on real facts, or documentary that unleash old cases or iconic criminals. In podcasts, programs like ‘Criminopathy‘or’ The Lord of Crimes’, not to mention foundational milestones as’ serial ‘or’ criminal ‘bet on the profusion of data and atmospheric narration. Books on the subject also abound, and practically all publishers have their releases True Crimebut this orientation to give voice to the murderers is new. Or isn’t it so much? More convicts who write. Breton adds to a series of books that different men are recently written. The media Daniel Sancho I would be writing one From prison in Thailand. And Alfonso Basterra, convicted of The assumption casehas written a book in jail, although it has nothing to do with the case that gave it fame: it is a novel that It is titled ‘Cito’ and dedicated to the murdered girl. The three most media cases and that have occupied more hours in the media in recent years between conjectures, follow -ups and gatherings, thus find such a singular as expected editorial counterpart. A long tradition. Breton, Sancho or Basterra cases are not unique. A serial murderer as legendary as John Wayne Gacy detailed his crimes in the Book of Memories ‘A Question of Doubt’, 1992, encouraged by the abundant literature he was generating. And the recently deceased OJ Simpson played with the morbidity of his case with ‘If i did it’, in which he counted, in the form of hypothesisthe crime by which he was tried, although he never published in his original form, but as a commented manuscript. More abundant are the books in which a journalist interviews the criminal or investigates the case and tries to put himself into his skin, as in the classics cited by Anagrama or the ‘Hate’ of Martín and Breton, and that it is not yet clear if we will read.

Go for free to attract MG and Byd factories

by

The electric car is a pressure cooker. One that has a lot of chickpeas and that suggests how those who were well together now that the temperature has risen jump from one side to another. Chickpeas are, of course, the countries of the European Union. In their day they formed ranks to lift tariffs against electric cars (first in the form of compensatory rights). Most seemed to show themselves in favor and only Germany proposed an alternative that did not go through their cars. Both Chinese and German manufacturers produced in China. Little by little, the pot was taking heat and the pressure increased. Inside, those chickpeas that seemed to go to one began to be removed already Show your discomfort. More and more countries began to soften their positions with tariff From abstention to negative. But the fire had already started and the stew had started. There was no way to stop it. The chickpeas jumped through the air and each one took the positions that most interested. Spain, in a 180º degree turn, He went from supporting tariffs to refrain in vote. An aesthetic exercise, the latter, because before on a visit to China, the president of the Government Pedro Sánchez, there was already Praise Chinese electric cars and had been receptive to the Asian country. Now, with a new byd factory on the table, the posture change gains more importance than ever. Europe and Spain, on different roads The expansion of Byd is being one of the hot topics currently in the European car. Both for the factory that is yet to come and the one in motion. By order. Europe puts difficult things … Although Europe raised tariffs to the Chinese electric car, it kept the door open to its investments and it is understood that Do not impose new levies To vehicles moved with combustion engines (including plug -in hybrids) it was a hand laid to China. Chinese brands soon took the initiative with the soil search In Europe to make their cars … more or less. Byd confirmed a plant in Hungary and Later in Türkiyesince the country has a Commercial Agreement with the European Union that you should allow you to export cars without paying tariffs for them. Another proposal was that of the Chery group, which has been made with the Nissan facilities in Barcelona to produce cars that, in reality, They arrive in kits from China And here they just finish riding. Both this option and that of Türkiye are in the spotlight of the European Commission that already warned that more powerful investments would be needed to get rid of the economic lock. But, in addition, the European Commission seems willing to put the most complicated things to Chinese manufacturers. Financial Times He explains that the Byd plant in Hungary is being built with illegal subsidies of the Chinese state. The European Commission studies punishing Byd for the very small value generated despite raising a factory in Hungary If confirmed, the economic newspaper notes that the European Commission could force the Chinese company “to sell some assets, reduce the capacity, reimburse the subsidy and potentially pay a fine for non -compliance“. What they maintain in the heart of the European Union is that the factory has been built with Chinese labor and only uses Chinese pieces, both for batteries and their cars, creating very little value. The issue is delicate because the Hungarian government, led by Viktor Orbán, is part of the Easceptics and is one of the greatest critics of the European Union. In addition, it has been very close to Beijing, which seems essential for the company to have invested 4,000 million euros in Hungarian soil in a factory that can use 10,000 people. And we must add that The situation of Hungary Within the European Union it is key because it allows you to access a cheaper labor but without complicating the distribution of cars in its European cast. … And Spain goes for free As we said, one of those chickpeas that began stirring and ended up jumping through the air looking for their own destination was Spain. Our country played Iberian pig exports They have the Chinese market as essential to square the accounts at the end of the year. But also huge amounts of money. To start, the arrival of the Chery group to Barcelona. Then the investments have materialized. First with the arrival of companies to Spanish key ports but, above all, with the investment of 7,000 million euros that catl It will carry out in Aragon next to Stellantis to nurture the batteries of small electric cars that the automobile group will produce in Zaragoza. “President Sánchez’s position change with electric vehicles has been very important. It has been highly appreciated by Chinese companies and We appreciate it with 10,000 million investments in Spain“The words are from Yao Jing, Chinese ambassador to Spain before a group of journalists, collect in The world. Those 10,000 million euros are formed by the 7,000 million euros of Catl but also for the 3,000 million euros that in investing invision and hygreen energy in the south of the country, although these last two projects still have to get ahead. ENVISION has already committed to Invest around 3.8 billion euros In Spain in 2022. The bulk would be taken a battery factory in Navalmoral de la Mata (Cáceres) with 2.5 billion euros of investment. The rest would be distributed by Alcazar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) and Navas del Marqués (Ávila) in projects for the production of renewable energy and its storage. Last year, after the Visit from Pedro Sánchez to Chinathe investment of another 900 million euros in investment of electrolyte with Hygreen Energy money. But the Cordial relations between China and Spain They continue because there are still very juicy projects floating on the European continent. “We are proposing more economic projects with Spain,” he said in his contact with Yao Jing journalists.

The success of goal AI in the US has been limited, but now they want to try in a country addicted to WhatsApp: Spain

by

It is late, that sure. The question is whether he will achieve what he has not achieved in the United States. There they can use Goal AI Integrated on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram for almost a year, but it does not seem that these options have managed to convert this platform into a success. Will they do so in Spain and other countries in Europe? Goal AI sneaks into your chats. The Meta AI announcement in April 2024 raised A very different approach to that of chatgpt. Instead of considering as an independent chatbot that one can use in a web browser, he invited us to use it as part of WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram. He sneaked into our chats And in our social networks, and the question was if that strategy would work. Modest options. We could Test goal AI Thanks to the use of a VPN when it appeared in the US, and its options seemed decent, but of course not striking in front of the competition. In order to focus, it was still the integration of the service into its social networks. Many users … After all this time the adoption of this AI platform has been remarkable according to those responsible. Susan li, cfo in the company, indicated To investors in January 2025 how Meta AI already had 700 million active monthly users – who have used it at least once a month -, compared to December 600. Growth seems striking, but talking about monthly users is very different from talking about weekly or daily users. … but with apparent little use. In fact, David Curry, from the Business of Apps consultant, indicated in CNBC In December that the Meta AI website generates only 10 million visits per month, much less than great services such as Chatgpt or Gemini, and even that less popular services such as Anthropic Claude. Of course, what matters is that users use it within the platform, but their success at WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook is an unknown and it is not easy to measure it. Goal does not want us to get out of WhatsApp. A priori the idea seemed suggestive and promising: WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook are already applications in which people spend hours a day, so trying to offer an AI directly in them seemed logical. However, the personal character of these applications collided with that more general use of AI. Ask an AI inside WhatsApp for a recipe or a summary of some data does not seem so natural for that more personal function, and although the option is useful, it does not seem to have set among those who have tried it. Users complain. Some of the users who have tried it in the US They simply hate her and warn how to use it that data is collected and can be used to give them to advertiserswhich means another threat to privacy. Others ask why it cannot be deactivated or eliminate from your apps. In fact, one of the debates around the goal strategy is precisely at that point: the company He has forced To users to have a goal AI in those applications without having requested it. Will we chat with goal AI in Spain? The adoption of WhatsApp is particularly high in Spain, and this may be a good opportunity to know if the idea of ​​goal works here. In the US that option does not seem to have been a success, which makes you doubt its success in other regions. In the company, yes, they seem to be preparing for that eventuality. But now they want to bet on an independent app. Although goal AI has Web versionthat option is still not available in Spain or in other countries of the European Union. Integration into their social networks does not seem to have been the success they expected, because now the company is determined to Offer an independent application to the chatgpt style. Mark Zuckerberg I had already warned of that intention at the beginning of the year, in fact. After the appearance of the news, even Sam Altman joked indicating that perhaps it was time that in OpenAi they began to create a social network. Goal AI Plus. Everything points to what goal will offer both a free version of its service – as the one it already offers – as a payment. That “goal ai plus” would adopt the subscription model and thus compete with Chatgpt plus and other similar services. Here the challenge is precisely to offer more striking options than those of other services, something that for now does not seem to happen. Well in Open Source, regulate in the rest. Calls, THE OPEN SOURCE OF METAit is excellent for developers and for those who want to use AI at home, but their benefits compete with those of increasingly striking models, and a goal, for example, does not offer reasoning model that competes with Deepseek R1 nor has he announced news on very fashionable land such as AI agents or search engines.

It is a sign of all the problems that corner the Tagus basin

by

Yesterday, the Manzanares S riverIt could significantly The high risk threshold of overflow in Madrid. It is not just an “alert”: the river It has overflowed In the brown, the connection branch between the M-30 and the M-40 was cut for hours, but there are Almost another dozen roads that are still cut by the storm. As it happened In Seville a few days ago, In Guadalajara last week either It is happening in Toledo Right now, it is very striking. Above all, because it is something that goes far beyond Manzanares. What is happening? What are we seeing? And it is that the Manzanares is only a sign of endless problems that face the basins of the Tagus and that of the Guadiana: rivers that usually carry very little flow and that, suddenly, channel a huge amount of water. And, as we said yesterday, the problem is never just the water that falls: the problem is, above all, that water has to go somewhere. But it is not easy. For many reasons: the first is that ‘natural’, these types of floods are usually accompanied by landslides, phenological realignments and other geological phenomena. The rest, unfortunately, are of human origin. For decades, we have been building around the channels as if the water they carry out all the water they can carry. We have narrowed the alluvial plains, we have built In flood areaswe have raised concrete structures that today (with these accumulated) are unable to contain the strength of the rivers. Manzanares is news because it is in Madrid, yes; But it is also news because it will affect hundreds of thousands of people; And, above all, it is news because it is a very clear example of what is happening in the center of the Peninsula: problems, many problems. The great paradox, again. As We said a few days agothe great paradox that brings us climate change is that we have to prepare to survive periods of increasingly long and intense droughtwhile we plan infrastructure and plans against increasingly intense floods. Talavera is a good example. According to the Center for Public Works Studies and Experimentation From the Government of Spain, the average flow of the Tagus in March as it passes through the Toledo city is 188 m3/s. Right now it is 750, now has overflowed at many points and the City Council is convinced that it will be up For the rain. And what do we do? That is the big question. Because, As the meteorologist Jordi Carbó explained“We have fallen into a difficult dynamic to break.” Although it is true that the ECMWF Start drawing some deceleration of rainfall, “forecasts prologize the rains until the beginning of April.” That is, “it is very likely that in this month of March there will be excellent precipitation records” and, in a context in which March It is becoming more and more rainyit is crucial to take it into account. But right now it only remains to remember. Today the urgent is to take action, displace people who can be affected and contain the damage. Tomorrow the important thing is to take it into account and put ourselves to work so that the next flood caught us prepared.

We thought the megapixel war had ended. Has only started

by

The megapixel war seemed extinct, but we couldn’t be more wrong. Although manufacturers have demonstrated one and a thousand times that more sensor resolution does not translate into better results, 2025 is the year of betting on a specific number: the 200 megapixels. It is not something new. On 200 megapixel sensors we have been listening for four years. Zte opened a path That, years later, they are beginning to travel the rest of the manufacturers. Interestingly, it is a characteristic that does not play only at the high range: there are mid -range mobiles betting on this type of resolution. In some cases, with good results. In others, without any impact. I still remember My comparison between the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and the Ultra Galaxy S23. An article that I recommend reading to better understand what these sensors are for. They are back. This 2025 has started with a lot of presence of this type of sensor. He Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra It continues to maintain the 200 MP of its main camera, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra He has released it in his new teleobjective, the I live x200 pro more of the same, What are they for. First, so that the brand can say that its mobile has more megapixels than that of competition. Yes, camera marketing is important, and this is something recognized by the companies themselves. Beyond this, there are certain real advantages when using such sensors. First, they allow shooting in high resolution modes (200 MP real, no 12 MP with Pixel Binning). This will give us bigger photographs ideal for printing. Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 200 MP VS Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 12 MP. Does any difference? Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 200 MP vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 12 MP. Very notable differences. Secondly, if we have some lucky, the manufacturer will not apply the same processing algorithms when it triggers 200 megapixels, since processing an image to this resolution is more complex than doing so at 12. But this is not always the case. There are occasions when the defendant is equally mediocre, and there is absolutely nothing to have more resolution. Be that as it may, the 200 megapixels are again fashionable, and it seems that they have arrived to stay in the short term.

Madrid has its own ‘dead language’ with dictionary and translations. There are those who resist that they fall into oblivion

by

In Spain there is an official language, Spanish, and A handful of co -official languages. The country’s complete linguistic photo is however much (much) richer and includes a wide range of Dialectal varietiesin addition to countless jargon and Sociolectsways to use language limited to a specific group. For years Madrid managed his own, Chelia speech that left a mark in the Royal Academy, inspired novelists and film directors, and even has its own dictionary and several translations. His golden age may be behind, but that does not mean that there are people who still claims its value and fight so that (if not spoken) at least it is talk about him. What is Chelii? A sociolect, a speech, a kind of dialect without fix but with abundant vocabulary, a sign of identity associated with a city (Madrid) and a time (especially the 80s and the first 90), a “Generational slang”in the words of the novelist Paco Umbral … or If we ask him to the RAE dictionary, a “jargon with castizos, marginal and countercultural elements.” Cheli is all that and some more things, like a improbable link of union between Camilo José Cela, Enrique Tierno Galván, Ramoncín and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; But above all it is a rich, spontaneous and diverse way of communicating that enjoyed its particular golden age mainly during the movement. What is its origin? It is counted that the term as Francisco Umbral coined it in The countrybut As I remembered a couple of years ago Álvaro de Benito, journalist and passionate about linguistics, one thing is the baptismal act and a very different birth. To know the origins of Cheli you have to probably go back much further back, the 18th century and the rise of the Casticism. Over time he gained background and form, vocabulary, expressions and style. It expanded. His great era was, however, the last decades of the twentieth. It is in that period, in the late 70s, when places its hatching The French linguist Henriette Walterwho came to dedicate a couple of pages in his essay ‘The adventure of languages ​​in the West’published in 1994. “It began to speak in Madrid in the criminal environments, is inspired by the drug slaughter and in the caló,” says the expert, who refers to him as “Cheli, passage or roll language.” Who spoke it? As I remembered A few years ago The journalist Arsenio School, Walter places the origins of “El Pasota” between Barcelona and Seville, but the land in which he managed to consecrate “as a social phenomenon” was another: the Madrid. There he fell deep. The neighborhoods were linked in a moment of profound political and social changes and sneaked into stores, taverns, factories, markets … although as with most languages ​​and dialects, Cheli was not an unalterable, unidimensional and static reality. In An article Posted a few weeks ago in The Spanish newspaper (EPE) Pedro del Corral remembered that depending on the age and training of speakers it was used in one way or another. It was also linked to some neighborhoods. All this served to somewhat cheli will be used for more than talking: it was a sign of identity between groups. Was it only used in the street? No. Cheli reached the screens and books, institutional acts and even aroused the interest of laureate singers and novelists. They reproduced him in some of his works Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio and Camilo José Celait rang in ‘The glass ball’ or the movie ‘Navajeros’ from Eloy de la Iglesia and threshold dedicated him in 1983 A dictionary whose presentation It was headed by the tierra Galván mayor, who even started talking to the public at the Palacio del Conde-Duque in Madrid. It was not the only one. In 1993 Ramoncín launched ‘El Toccho Cheli’that self -defined as a “dictionary of jargon, Germanías and jerigonzas”, and three years later it followed ‘The new billy cheli’. Entremedias, in 1994, Antonio Alonso, chaplain of the Carabanchel prison, decided to go further and develop an adaptation to Cheli of the ‘New Testament’. He titled it ‘El Chuli, the colleagues and the basca’a declaration of intentions: in its pages Jesus becomes Chuchi, the Apartlets in colleagues and the fishermen in Basca. Is it the only translation? The answer is not again. And explain why Cheli has become news again in recent years. In 2022, after an investigation of year and a half Álvaro de Benito, journalist and passionate about languages ​​and dialects, decided to launch A translation to the Cheli of one of the great classics of universal literature, ‘Le Petit Prince’of the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The adaptation is already reflected in the same title of the work: ‘The main kids (with the fetal ticks of the Menda)’. 92 pages that are a vindication of Madrid slang and have served to return it to the spotlights. Why ‘the Little Prince’? De Benito explained it clearly in an interview to Madrid Secret. “Regardless of whether we like it or not, ‘the Little Prince’ is a universal and valid tool for the dissemination of languages. Every time something comes out of it, a stir is assembled,” confesses. Cheli is not in fact the only adaptation published by its editorial, From tuma. In Your catalog There are others in Cantabrian, Manchego, fritter, Hoketía, Gacería or the Talk about rebollar. How was the process? Álvaro de Benito was born in 1980, so that during the years of splendor of Cheli was still a child. In addition to pulling your own experience It was documented With philological studies, articles, magazines, films, novels … the result, however, is not the same as a conventional translation into an official language with an academy behind it in charge of defining its canon. “In English you can translate well or badly, but Cheli can only adapt it. It is not a matter of doing it right or badly,” Explain from Benito. “I picked up the greatest possible vocabulary. There have been people who … Read more

Apple Intelligence is a “fire” for Apple. The firefighter chosen to turn it off is the chief of the vision pro

Apple has decided to replace the head of Siri and its strategy in AI after several months with delays and problems with Apple Intelligence. Mike Rockwell, until now head of the Vision Pro project, is the one who takes control of Siri to replace John Giannandreaas reported Bloomberg. Why is it important. This change reflects the concern to increase Apple for its position in the AI ​​race. Tim Cook would have “lost confidence” in Giannandrea after numerous delays in the development of promised functions during WWDC 2024, as Mark Gurman explained. Between bambalins. In a recent internal meeting, Giannandrea admitted to his team that the delays were “ugly” and recognized the shame and anger that this had generated among the staff. The uncertainty about the launch dates caused internal tensions that climbed up to Apple’s address. Apple He was strong for Apple Intelligence in his event for developers Nine months ago, but the implementation has been extremely slow. Just a few weeks ago they had to announce that The personalized functions of Siri postponed up to 2026one of the key pieces of your strategy. The context. AI is the new battlefield for great technological ones. While rivals like Microsoft, Google and OpenAi have taken giant steps with their assistants and generative models, Apple has lagged behind with a Siri that has barely evolved in years. A risky bet. Rockwell lacks specific experience in AI, but Apple, as published by Bloomberghas valued its ability to solve complex problems and bring new products to the market. As responsible for Vision Promanaged teams of thousands of people and managed to launch a revolutionary product to the market, despite the many obstacles that were on the road. It is inevitable to ask if the person responsible for a very complex product, but with discreet commercial impact in its first year in the market, is the ideal person to relaunch the strategy of a service that will reach hundreds of millions of devices and for which you have to work counterreloj. And now what? Rockwell will report to Craig Federight Aka ‘Pelazo’, Apple software head, while Paul Meade, who worked in hardware engineering for Vision Pro, will assume the direction of that department. Giannandrea will maintain other responsibilities in research of AI and robotics technologies, but without the focus on the day -to -day life of Apple Intelligence. In perspective. This movement underlines the difficulty that Apple is having to compete in AI without compromising its approach to privacy. Apple needs to balance innovation with its traditional perfectionism, something that is being especially complex in the field of generative AI. In fact, what was seen so far in Apple Intelligence (disastrous notificationsslow and mediocre results in image playground) It is from that perfectionism. Time will say if Rockwell’s experience in bringing complex products to the market will be enough to revitalize Siri and make Apple Intelligence become a competitive alternative to rivals such as ChatgPT or Google Gemini. But that is Apple’s new hope. It is that, or languish. In Xataka | The EU opens the iPhone by force: the European model will never be the same again Outstanding image | Apple
