Its valuation reaches 44,000 million dollars

by

The social network X, before as known to X, has risen economically. As indicated In Financial Timesthe valuation has been recovered and is now at 44,000 million dollars, which is just the amount that Elon Musk paid to buy it. How have you gone around the tortilla? Let’s see it. Twitter collapse. In October 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44,000 million dollars. After a series of controversial decisions and the unbalanced of the advertisersits valuation collapsed: a year later the company had lost 90% of its value. Things painted very badly for the social network now known as X, but the truth is that the tycoon has managed to turn the situation, at least in the economic section. Not even 10,000 million dollars were worth. X investors have exchanged their respective positions in the company, according to sources close to those movements. This process has served to estimate the remarkable increase in valuation for a company that had it below 10,000 million dollars. INVESTMENT ROUND IN THE VIEW. X is negotiating to raise a first investment round. It is estimated that they could raise about 2,000 million dollars, of which 1 billion would serve to pay part of the debts that Musk assumed to make the purchase. The cuts work. The income has fallen since the arrival of Musk and in 2024 they were approximately Half of those that were before the acquisition. However, it seems that the important cuts he made – for example with the numerous dismissals – have helped to turn X into a more efficient and economically efficient company, and the costs are now a quarter of those in the past. Its EBITDA is 1.2 billion dollars according to two sources close to that situation, and the striking thing is that the figure is practically identical to which Twitter had before Musk bought it. Banks sell their debt. Several banks that lent money to Musk have sold almost the total Of the 12,500 million dollars of debt that were pending with the tycoon. Meanwhile, capital investors – who have a participation in the company – valued the company well below the value in the past, which has probably caused losses. Trump and Xai help. The re -election of Donald Trump as president of the United States has notably favored Elon Musk, who supported his campaign and has now become his main advisor in many areas. That has helped the recovery of X, partly because there has been a Partial return of advertisers. And XAI as lever. Another of the elements that has favored the recovery has been the movement that Musk made a few months ago. The tycoon gave X investors 25% participation in XAI. This startup already has an assessment of 45,000 million dollars, and that has certainly been a convincing argument to be happy for those investors. Subscriptions and Grok. The increasing relevance of the subscription model in X is another of the elements that have allowed increasing income. In these subscription plans, the AI ​​of XAI, Grok, which has become part of the supply offer develops a leading role, although it is also available in a limited way for those who use X free of charge. Optimism. Musk He joked In X in February before the good news saying that “it is almost as if it were good with money”, but also highlighted that there was a margin of improvement and that income should quickly improve in 2025 “as the advertising boycott is blurred.” Image | POT In Xataka | Elon Musk has revealed the formula of his team’s success.

Elon Musk described Tesla as $ 25,000 as an “absurd idea.” Now he needs it to compete in China

by

The electric car market is squeezed. And the brand that has made the most popularize technology faces an uncertain future. The risk of Tesla staying behind begins to be evident without a 25,000 euros car in its range. It was the opportunity to open market but something has had to happen within the company so that we do not see a product that promised to be groundbreaking when everything was in its favor. A promise that is no longer clear if it is a promise. We are five years listening to the car of the $ 25,000 of Tesla. The first time the company put a price and date to the concept was in the Battery Day of 2020. Then the company said we should see the project materialized in 2023. Like so many other promises of the company, this did not happen. And it’s not just that it didn’t happen. Last year, taking advantage of the presentation of its short -term robotaxis project, Elon Musk himself came to qualify that $ 25,000 car as “Absurd idea”. More necessary than ever. The company’s performance has lived in a roller coaster in recent months. Donald Trump’s election as the new president of the United States fired optimism among investors Given Musk’s approach to the new executive. Since the start of the year, performance has been deflated to place in pre-elections. In that growth and subsequent puncture there is a lot of Cult stock but also of bad results. 2024 was, after many years, the first year in which Tesla did not grow And the first months of 2025 are being really bad. As hope, the renewal of a Tesla Model and which should be felt in registration records as of this March. But, in addition, Tesla is seeing how the rivals squeeze. The last to join has been Mazda with its first big electric carlarger than the Tesla Model 3 But rivaling in price. It is not the only case, useful electric cars For day to day and long trips for 30,000 euros They also begin to emerge. And all before the arrival of Toyota. China, a symptom. Of the concerns within the company, its plans in China tell us a lot. The country was first to receive the renewal of Tesla Model Y. In the most competitive market for the electric car, the renewal was essential. Byd’s response has been ambitious shortly after: give away your driving aid systems. The movement is a missile to Tesla that until a few months ago He had not achieved permits to continue improving his functions of driving aid in the country. Of course, it is an argument of sale in front of a more expensive car and that lacks smaller options. That is, it does not have a proposal where they are Great sales of the Chinese market. In Tesla’s bosom they must be more than aware of the problem and, in fact, in Reuters They ensure that the company prepares a cut version of Tesla Model and current. It should be at least 20% less expensive to produce. Later he would arrive in the United States and Europe, according to the sources of the news agency. Something broke. But what happened for Tesla to “abandon” the car of the 25,000 euros? It is difficult to believe that the company has taken a radical turn in its proposal simply by Elon Musk’s designs. In fact, there was already investors who questioned the change strategy when the project was announced Tesla Cybercab. In recent years, Tesla said she had solid bases to think she could reduce production by 50% of their cars. The idea was to make the electric car a kind of small puzzle. But the greater the Gigacasting That so many benefits has given the company, it is more complicated to create the first mother piece. A problem that had been entrenched, according to Reuters. And to this we must add that Tesla does not get the expected economic performance in its 4680 batteries. They were the great promise to lower the electric car and approach the desired $ 25,000 but The results are not being expected. In fact, a group of researchers have evaluated these batteries by confronting them with those of ByD and ensure that Those of the Chinese manufacturer are much cheaper to produce. A thread of hope. As we say, it seems difficult to think that the company has completely abandoned a project that needs irremediably to aspire to be the manufacturer of Dozens of millions of cars which (assures) aspires to be. The appearance of a Tesla Model and trimmed for China is one of those symptoms. But, in addition, rumors have consistency because at the end of 2024 The Wall Street Journal He also claimed that the company is determined to launch a smaller SUV than Model and, although it would not reach the long -awaited border. Therefore, it seems not so much that Tesla does not want to launch an electric car of $ 25,000. Everything indicates that it cannot. The productive processes that sought to save a very high percentage of the costs seem to be struck but the intention to continue offering new more affordable models does seem to be present within the company.

Build a building by pieces like a giant layman

by

In Zaragoza they are building a building that has not been built in Zaragoza. Sounds up word, but it is a rather accurate description of what the firm has done Metro7 In the middle of the Calle Mayor of the Aragonese capital. There their operators have raised a block of five floors (335 m2 built) that will host a hotel with four suites and an office that will occupy the architecture study itself. The surprising thing is how long they have taken: the structure has taken shape in less a weeka record time they have achieved thanks to their “construction system Offsite“The term may not say much, but basically it consists of stacking modules that Metro7 manufactures in a ship located outside Zaragoza. Yes, just like a huge lego. And that building? That is probably the question that many Zaragozanos have been asked that these days have passed through Calle Mayor. In a small plot irregularly it has ‘sprouted’ in less than a week A new five -storey building, with its windows, facades, enclosures and even panels to grow a vertical garden outside. He Tuesday 11 The project responsible for the project, Metro7, reported that it had started with the first floor and this Monday explained during An interview With the chain being that at least the bulk of the most spectacular works has already ended. “In just five days this whole building has been mounted”, José Bailach stressed, Design Manager. Moreover, its goal is to open May 7. How did they do it? With modules. Like a XXL of Lego game. If the construction has advanced so fast in the urban center of Zaragoza it is because before the company was in charge of advancing work on its nave of Pinseque, a town located about 20 kilometers from the capital Maña. There the Metro7 team prepared a dozen and a half of modules that then moved to the plot of the works to mount them with the help of a crane. One of the most curious details that can be seen in The images Published by the study itself is the level of finishing of the modules: they already include windows, exterior panels for a vertical garden, lamps and interior elements. The company It refers to the system as “100% modular construction Offsite” and defend also that its buildings are “sustainable.” “Each plant, about 35 m2, is composed of three modules that are transported completely finished. Our team assembles in situ.” Everything ready in a week? Not quite. The “five days” to those that refers The company are only part of the project, essential, but insufficient. The works to create the building started much earlier and do not end with the placement of the last module. Before the company has to prepare the pieces, carry out load tests and transfer the prefabricated elements to the plot. His purpose in this case, once there, was to set a new plant every day. In total the preparation and assembly phase of the hard modules “between three and four months”, As reported The company itself The Aragon newspaper, A time that also took the opportunity to advance in the foundation in the plot. After all, prefabricated pieces are not the only ones that make up the building. In the plot itself, the foundations were built, the ground floor and a space for the elevator. How long does it take in total? If we add that time, the assembly of the modules and the days that are invested in the finishes and complete the assembly, the construction of the block would take some some five months. There are not five days, but of course it is less than it would take to build a similar block following the traditional construction system. BAILACH defend The advantages of the model. To start with the “security” that, he says, offers operators during construction. He also insists that the time cut even benefits the neighbors, subjecting them less months of noise, transfer of machines, traffic cuts and the rest of the inconvenience that usually takes the construction of a hotel of several floors. Is it a novelty? With its new construction Metro7 aspires to give more visibility to its construction system Offsite With prefabricated modules, but the truth is that it is not a newcomer to the sector. The firm has already several years active and in Your website Informs projects in different cities. With the new Zaragoza block they want to gain notoriety, something that will probably help the building to become a hotel Minimal Suites of Four suites. Modular construction, with prefabricated or industrialized houses is not new either. There are specialized companies that concentrate 80% of the process of construction in their ships to complete the remaining 20% ​​in the work itself and in Spain there can already be examples, although They are far of being the majority formula in the sector. Its advantages, especially the speed, has also made it Administrations interesting In the model.

A series of 4,000 million dollars

by

Within ‘Star Wars‘The’ are so popular yes …? ‘ that the official paths themselves has taken by the franchise. For example, the deviations that were never and that Disney threw in that alternative stories container but outside the canon categorized as ‘legends’. Or all the projects that never came out, among which an ambitious television series, ‘Star Wars: Underworld’, which Lucas had to leave aside for its high cost, but that would have changed the saga forever. A series by George Lucas. According to these new data that producer Rick McCallum has revealed in the podcast ‘Young Indy Chronicles’the creator of the original franchise was developing a series for several years after closing his trilogy of prequels with ‘The revenge of the Sith’. ‘Star Wars: Underworld’ would have elapsed in the time space between the original trilogy and the newly released, serving as a narrative bridge between them. We like thieves. ‘Underworld’ would have been set in the criminal underworld of ‘Star Wars’: smugglers, thieves and hunter would compose the usual fauna of the series. In fact, Indiewire Define what Lucas was trying to do as “‘the soprano’ in ‘Star Wars’”. Interestingly, it is an atmosphere comparable to what tried to develop the commercially failed ‘Star Wars Outlaws‘(Note the similarities in the title, of practically interchangeable meaning) of Ubisoft, a tremendously attractive video game on the role that, however, He has not finished finding his audience. They are 40 million. The main obstacle for the series to move forward was its cost. McCallum comments that he does not imagine how each episode could have been shot for less than 40 million dollars. “Each episode was bigger than movies”, which explains not only the very high budget that each episode would have needed, but the tremendous ambition of demonstrating Lucas, which also knew how to see that television was a good space, still virgin, to tell certain types of stories and give them a very specific structure. “ Complicated scripts. The second great obstacle for the series to become as it was conceived of Lucas were the scripts, which McCallum defines as “absolutely wonderful, complicated, challenging.” And they were to the point that “the ‘Star Wars’ universe would have exploded, and Disney sure would never have offered George to buy the franchise.” An example to get the idea: showrunner of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ was aboard ‘underworld’ as a screenwriter, which makes clear to what extent the series was a darker vision of science fiction that until that moment escaped ‘Star Wars’. Long -term plan. Lucas was serious: he had planned more than one hundred episodes, of which sixty came to have quite final scripts: that is, a plan comparable to the lively ‘clone wars’ of 2008. However, not all ‘underwold’ was lost: indiewire affirms that the basic idea of ​​’Rogue One’ trilogies). ‘Undereworld’ also wanted to explore the origins of Han breath, a concept that ended Become a movie. And, finally, series like ‘The Mandalorian‘ either ‘Andor‘They are in tune with the base of’ underworld ‘. In this very distant galaxy everything is used. ‘Star Wars’, now. Although these elements have ended up arriving at what is ‘Star Wars’ today, there are two completely absent elements of this ‘underworld’ and that are an essential part of the franchise today. On the one hand, nostalgia, winks and dependence on the two original trilogies; And on the other, an absolute escape from any risk of risk, except in extraordinary cases such as ‘Andor’. A diametrically opposite philosophy to which Lucas wanted to rehearse with ‘underworld’.

Although now many young people are fighting an uncertain labor market, a unsustainable real estate situation And basic expenses that do not stop growing, in just a decade they could be in charge of the world economy thanks to a phenomenon known as the “Great wealth transfer“. His way of seeing life Everything will change. A meteoric rise in ten years is expected. A recent report Bank of America analyzes what holds a Z generation that currently appears with its negative financial balance with a growing Housing Resource Expenditure either educationin contrast to Low wages common at the beginning of professional careers. According to the report data, the global set of this generation already control about 9 billion dollars In income in just two years, coinciding with the arrival at the labor market of this generation. However, the bank expects this figure to shoot up to 36 billion dollars by 2030 and reach 74 billion dollars in 2040 in what is already known as the “great transfer of wealth.” A few complicated first years. The report indicates that the generation will experience first years in the very complicated labor market. Many young people, just out of college, meet a labor market and dynamics that do not understanddespite be overcowed For available jobs. The INCAUDS OF THE IA In the workplace he will not pave on his way during the first years. The Bank of America report highlights that this generation must face a cooling scenario in job offers. However, according to The published by 3DJUGOSgene generation already needs 146% of SMI to survivetripling what Baby Boomers needed to meet their basic needs, and double the expenditure of generation X and Millennials. The generational relay of money. Despite these aciagos beginnings, the data of one of the world’s largest banking entities suggest that generation Z will experience exponential growth that will make them The richest generation and numerous world in 2035. For that year, the GenzersThey will represent 30% of the world population. This “great transfer of wealth” is a massive capital change from major generations to the gene z, marking a before and after in the global economic distribution. Bank of America estimates coincide with those that already made in your report The consultant Cerulli Associates. This 2022 report already estimated a transfer of assets of the Boomers to Millennials and Z generation of about 84 billion dollars by 2045. It is estimated that around 38% of generation Z in the United States hopes to receive an inheritance, which will further drive their economic power, according to reveals A study of the insurer Northwestern Mutual. They are not accustomed to savings. In the same way that generation Z has marked important changes in Its incorporation into the labor marketthey will also impose their criteria in the way in which the heritage that will be transferred are spent and invest. In a scenario such as the one that is currently living in today, savings do not even consider as an option, so it is expected that the expense trend will increase with respect to other demographic groups such as that of Boomersmarked by His tendency to savings. Brands rub their hands. The US banking entity expects the global spending of generation Z to reach 12.6 billion dollars in 2030, compared to the 2.7 billion dollars that spent in 2024. “It is likely that they are among the most disruptive generations for economies, markets and social systems.

The Castor project was the great idea of ​​Spain to self -ability. Now you are selling it by pieces

by

Spain always has pursued concern around natural gas. More than 15 years ago its main sources were Algeria and Russia, but not to be energy dependent, the State promoted the Castor project. This initiative It arose as a possible response to face these challenges and reduce the vulnerability of the Spanish nation in the face of possible energy crises. However, a study confirmed That the gas injection of the year 2012 caused the earthquakes of Castellón, so a year later the Minister of Industry at that time ordered its closure. Now the current government has decided to sell it in parts. A little context. THE CASTOR PROJECT It was promoted by the Zapatero government and continued under the Rajoy Executive, being the ACS construction company, controlled by Florentino Pérez, responsible for the execution. The infrastructure was managed by the Concessionaire Escal Ugs, an ACS subsidiary. All this, He explains it Chronologically a citizen association that has denounced the case. How was it going to be? The Castor project consisted of an underwater natural gas warehouse located off the coast of Castellón, designed to store gas in an underwater deposit about 1,700 meters deep. It had the capacity to store approximately 1.9 BCM (billions of cubic meters) of gas and consisted of a marine platform, a gas pipeline of 30.3 kilometers in length, and a land plant in Vinaròs. And the problems came … Just for the earthquakes, was it closed? No, like Eldiario.es explained The initiative had a few challenges from the beginning. The reasons were different, such as their profitability, their environmental impact and the fact that it did not turn out to be as necessary as it had initially raised, given The great capacity of the regasifying of gas in Spain. Given this situation, the project was tried to sell in search of some type of economic solution. However, they did not find a solution to the problem, so finally the ACS company He abandoned it and the dismantling process began. A decade of the castor’s fiasco. Ten years later, the Castor project remains a clear example of billionaire failure. The submarine gas warehouse that ACS built In front of the coast of Castellón and Tarragona, it only operated in tests and never reached its full functionality. The result is known: an unusable infrastructure and a billionaire hole that has ended up paying the taxpayer, accompanied by a waterfall of judicial litigation without those responsible for being identified. Definitive closure. As They have advanced Different media, the third vice president and minister for ecological transition and demographic challenge, Sara Aagesen, has confirmed that the dismantling of the underwater warehouse will begin in May after the sealing of the thirteen underwater wells. In addition, what can be recovered from the project will be sold to reduce losses, which are encrypted by about 260 million euros. Why that figure? It all starts during the Rajoy government in 2014, which It was approved Express compensation of 1,350 million euros for the construction company ACS through a Royal Decree-Law. However, this compensation, which should be paid for 30 years through the gas bill, was declared unconstitutional in 2017, which paralyzed payments to financial entities. Finally, the State had to borrow to compensate the bank. The litigation began. During those years, the facilities have cost more than 100 million euros for more than 11 years, when the Concessionaire Escal Ugs resigned from the project. However, the National Court has forced ESPS, the company controlled by ACS, to return 209.7 million euros in “financial compensation” that charged between 2014 and 2017, after the judgment of the Constitutional Court that annulled the payments. However, it remains to be seen if the company will comply with this obligation, since Escal Ugs entered into a creditors’ contest In 2019. As for the criminal derivative, in 2021 the Castellón audience acquitted on step Already its directors of a crime against the environment and natural resources, a fact that underlines the lack of responsible for the Fiasco. A classic example of loss socialization. The Castor project is an example of “socialization of losses”, where the consequences of failure fell on the taxpayer, while financial entities, which had advanced money in exchange for charging it with interest for 30 years, were compensated by the State. Despite the controversies, the ACS company benefited from this compensation, despite the fact that its president, Florentino Pérez, declared that the project was a “misfortune” For his company, which represented only 1% of the ACS billing. A great legislative error. So it was indicated by the Independent Fiscal Responsibility Authority (Airef)as one of the most expensive in the energy sector, concentrating more than half of the compensation paid by the State in recent years. This case has evidenced the need to carry out more rigorous studies on the technical, economic and environmental viability of the projects, especially when they involve geological risks or impacts in local communities. In addition, it has evidenced the importance of greater transparency in decision -making and public fund management.

Playtomic has just lifted one of the largest investment rounds this year in Spain with a peculiar hook: paddle

by

Pedro Clavería, Félix Ruiz (CEO) and Pablo Carro, co -founders and maximums responsible for Playtomic, smile in that image. It is not for less: your startup —which is not typical From the Spanish technology sector – it goes like a shot. The surprising thing is not that, but they have achieved it from the hand of the paddle, a sport that has gradually conquered fans in Spain, but now points much higher. Blades everywhere. The popularity of the paddle has grown spectacularly in recent years in our country. Sport is also living a vertiginous professionalization both among players and in the organization of tournaments, sponsors or manufacturers of sportswear or shovels, balls and accessories. In Xataka we continue to miss More support by smart watchesyes indeed. The new tennis. Tennis fans usually also enjoy this sport, which is especially accessible, and the follow -up of professional tournaments is also demonstrating that unique ascending trajectory. After the success of the World Padel Tour now the professional circuit has become called (and be managed by) PREMIER PDELand from an area that focused on Spain, Spain has passed to tournaments that are played in European countries, the Middle East and the entire American continent. The idea: globalize it and become a worldwide phenomenon. Playtomic knew how to arrive at the perfect moment. Playtomic’s emergence in this segment was vertiginous: before each club had its own methods and apps for reservations and the market was much more fragmented. Playtomic emerged as the unified app to review clues in clubs or to organize matches both on those tracks and on private tracks. Little by little more and more clubs have joined, and now in Playtomic there are 6,000 registered clubs and 1.5 million active users a month worldwide. Rounds that drive growth. The startup carries several rounds of accumulated investment, but in recent years the thing has gone more. In 2021 Playtomic he already lifted 56 million euros to continue growing, and now those responsible have just announced a new investment round of 65 million euros. The operation includes 55 million euros in investment and another 10 million in debt financing from Banco Santander. Playtomic’s is one of the largest investment rounds of the year in Spain, although there has been even more striking rounds, like Travelperk’s (200 million dollars). Expansion to the US in sight. This financing round will serve to boost Playtomic’s global presence in European countries, for example, but the focus is clear: to conquer the United States. As Ruiz pointed out Five daysapproximately a third of the money raised will be dedicated to that expansion in the US. There will also be expansion in European countries such as the United Kingdom or Germany. Miami marks the guideline. That American conquest has begun in Miami, where one of the great tournaments of the year is celebrated these days. The American city is being a shop window in that country, and in fact the current number one in the world, Claudio Coello – a part of Agustín Tapia, also number one – has moved there. Possible acquisitions. Those responsible for Playtomic also point to future acquisitions that will further reinforce their relevance in this sector. In 2022 They have already been made With a Finnish competitor, and Ruiz himself pointed to potential operations of this type. Good numbers. The company achieved revenues of 240 million euros in 2024, and it is expected to grow up to 350 million gross billing in 2025. The net net billing results in 2024 were 23 million euros, while the forecast is that it reaches 31 million in 2025. The company has more than 200 employees and the plan is to hire another 15 people throughout 2025. This is going. This investment round confirms the excellent state of health and the projection of the paddle, and here Playtomic has managed to do things very well and take advantage of that popularity to grow (and help to grow) to this sport. Spain is already conquered territory: now it remains to be seen if this new round effectively allows it to become a reference in countries like the US, where by 2026 it is expected that there are already 3,000 paddle tennis courts.

Issue ‘The Simpsons’ during the 24 hours 365 days a year on an exclusive channel

by

Disney has announced the launch of a stream In Disney+ of ‘The Simpsons‘: 24 hours, seven days a week of broadcasting of the 35 seasons that so far the series has completed. It will be almost 300 hours, 767 episodes of the most popular series in the history of television, although for now it does not seem that the thing will leave the United States. It doesn’t matter: the important thing is that, above celebrations of the enormous of the legacy of the Fox series, it makes clear in which mirror, apparently outdated, the industry of the streaming. An idea as simple as symbolic. Who may want to sit down to see the episodes of ‘The Simpsons‘In chronological order? Since 2020 the episodes are released in Disney+ a few hours after their broadcast in Fox, and of course, the 36 -year historical of the series is available on the platform. But more with ‘The Simpsons’ than with any other series, the nostalgia effect works perfectly. Or do we not remember all those views at noon in Antena 3 of the golden age of the animation series? Visted in which, until the last Mommto, it was not very clear what episode we were going to see. It is not the only stream. Since September of last yearDisney+ is experiencing in the United States (although at no time they close completely to an export to other countries) with the continuous issuance of different types of stream. It is, on the one hand of selections of content of the platform, plus some live programming: they opened the experiment with ABC News Live, a preschool content playlist, Playlists Seasonal that have been rotating in times such as Christmas or Halloween, selections from the company’s success franchises (Marvel, Star Wars, Disney), a Playlist of classic and nostalgic content and another dedicated to documentaries, biopics and realities. The Xanadú of Linear Television. This Disney+ experiment is not complete Its inauguration in 2020: Netflix Direct. Behind all this, and from this new proposal of Disney+, a clear objective: escape from the saturation sensation That the immense catalog of the platforms place before us. Before the infinite choice syndrome, not choose at all. Nostalgia when TV was good. And as we said above, there is also some nostalgia for the times when our favorite weekly series was an event. Or that we always see the same series, as happened with ‘The Simpsons’, ‘The Prince of Bel-Air’ or other midday sitcom imposed some routines where we were very far from feeling saturated because there was too much to do. What was there, without more, and the nostalgia of those simpler times is also behind these decisions. The resilience of the usual TV. A recent study He claimed that more than half of the Europeans still had traditional television as a primary destination for their television hours, partly because of the customs acquired after years in front of the device. It is just another example of how old customs remain, or at least they transform: the Amazing growth of fast channels (To which this Simpson stream could belong if it were independent of Disney+), with 1900 linear channels in the US in 2024 compared to only 1,000 in 2023 it is good proof: we are not yet prepared to abandon the old customs, and ‘The Simpsons’ will try to benefit from it.

Figure creates a system to make large -scale humanoid robots. And of course, there will be robots manufacturing robots

by

We had something forgotten to robots, but for A few months We don’t stop to return to hear about them. There are important efforts from companies such as Nvidia – who just put All meat on the grill-, Boston Dynamics or Teslabut there is another company that is pushing strong in this sector. It is called Figure, and has just announced a promising project. Botq. This is the name of the mass manufacturing platform of humanoid robots Announced by Figure. The idea is simple: to create a totally oriented infrastructure to that production of high volumes of robots that end up being used in all types of scenarios. 12,000 humanoid robots per year. The first generation of Botq will be able to produce 12,000 humanoid robots a year, but the company highlights that this is only the beginning “and we will climb considerably from there.” Manufacture with vertical integration. The company will control the construction process and its quality to ensure that the robots that end in the market have according to them the highest quality. They have also been working on software solutions for months to attend these high volume manufacturing processes. Robots building robots. The Humanoid Robots of Figure They already caught our attention last summer, and now these robots will participate in the manufacture of other humanoid robots. That, they say, will happen this year, but in addition “the number of humanoid robots involved (in manufacturing) will grow substantially over time to increase the automation of production lines.” By the way: Elon Musk has an identical idea. Figure 03 on the way. Its current humanoid robot was complex both in necessary elements and in manufacturing processes, but with it they have learned how they can reduce the number of components and how to improve production. And more efficient processes. Thus, instead of CNC machines they will use techniques such as injection molding or pressure foundry that allow “thousands of hours of manufacturing.” In fact, in some components that needed a week to be manufactured with CNC machines, times have gone from only 20 seconds.
