The first, create a global center that regulates AI. The second, be in Shanghai

by

The Chinese president presented at the APEC summit your proposal to establish a World Organization for Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence. It is the first time that Xi speaks publicly about this initiative that Beijing has been working on since the beginning of the year, and the message is clear: China wants to lead the global governance of AI compared to the United States. A proposal in a regulatory vacuum. Xi Jinping defend that this international body should establish AI governance rules and encourage cooperation between countries, turning artificial intelligence into “a public good for the international community,” according to collect the Xinhua agency. The Chinese leader stressed that “artificial intelligence is of great importance for future development and should be done for the benefit of people in all countries and regions.” The United States, for its part, has rejected attempts to regulate AI through international organizations, leaving the door open for other powers to take the initiative. Shanghai as a technological epicenter. Official Chinese sources have confirmed that the organization would be based in Shanghai, the country’s financial and technological center. The election seeks to consolidate the city’s position as a global benchmark in innovation and strengthen the Chinese technological ecosystem at a time when Beijing is promoting what it calls “algorithmic sovereignty”, as they mention from Reuters. A recent example is that of DeepSeekwho launched cheaper AI models as an alternative to Western solutions dominated by advanced Nvidia chips. Additionally, China has a large presence when it comes to open source models, with companies such as Alibaba being the reference through their models qwen. Strategy. The proposal comes at a strategic moment. The APEC summit, which brings together 21 nations that represent half of world trade, approved a joint declaration and pacts on AI and the challenge of population aging. China took advantage of this scenario to position itself as a leader in multilateral cooperation, especially after Trump’s absence at the leaders’ summit held in the South Korean city of Gyeongju. The American president returned directly to Washington after his bilateral meeting with Xia meeting in which a temporary one-year agreement was promised to partially reduce the trade and technological controls that had triggered tension between the two largest economies in the world. Beyond AI: green technologies. Xi too took advantage the forum to urge APEC members to promote the “free circulation” of green technologies, a sector that ranges from batteries to solar panels and in which China largely dominates. This is a complementary strategy, as the country seeks to maintain its competitive advantage while proposing to regulate AI at a global level. Next stop: Shenzhen 2026. China will host the APEC summit in 2026 in Shenzhena city of almost 18 million inhabitants that Xi described as a former fishing village transformed into a technological power after becoming one of the country’s first special economic zones in the 1980s. Today it is a nerve center for advanced manufacturing, from robotics to the production of electric cars. It will be a new opportunity for Beijing to continue pushing its vision of technological and commercial cooperation.

Ukraine has updated the nation’s bloodiest game. Eliminating Russians is now the closest thing to “ordering an Uber”

by

In the month of May, a unprecedented merger between military technology and video game logic. Ukraine had launched a reward system which awarded its soldiers points for killing Russian troops or destroying their vehicles, as long as these acts were verified by drone video recordings. That system, a kind from “Amazon military”has been updated with drones as protagonists. A real shooter. The now called “Army of Drones Bonus System” that has emerged in Ukraine presents itself on the surface as a incentive platform which includes the aesthetics and mechanics of video games (scores, ‘leaderboards’, online stores and rewards) but at its core is an operational transformation: an institutionalized scheme that quantifies casualties, observation successes and logistical achievements to translate them into real resources (drones, autonomous vehicles, electronic warfare systems) through the internal store call Brave1. Born a little over a year ago and accelerated in recent months until passing from 95 to 400 units participants, the system already exhibits strong effects on combat (according to official figures, 18,000 Russian casualties attributable to actions linked to the system in a single month) and has expanded its radius of action beyond the air attack to reconnaissance, artillery and logistics missions, incorporating into military practice notions of competition, internal market and performance metrics that were previously foreign to the art of war. Mechanics and logic. The program architecture works with clear and convertible rules– Each credited action (from eliminating an enemy combatant to capturing a prisoner to destroying a drone operator) awards points that can be exchanged for materiel in Brave1which creates a feedback loop where operational success is transformed into material capacity to continue fighting. The update of the score table (for example, doubling points for killing infantry or setting 120 points for capturing a prisoner) reveals the system’s ability to reorient incentives based on strategic priorities and political needs, and at the same time evidences a commodification of efficiency: life and death pass through a technical-economic threshold that converts lethal decisions into a cost-benefit function. This internal economy alters the microdecision of the combatant and resituates logistics and acquisition within the tactical space itself, with the Brave1 store acting as a war market that prioritizes allocation by competitive merit. Screenshot of the rewards system Automation and AI. The system is not limited to accounting, integrate tools technologies that change the very nature of target selection and engagement. Drones partially controlled by algorithms that suggest targets and correct the terminal phase of the trajectory represent a step towards lethal automation, while practices such as “Uber targeting” They demonstrate how consumerist and geospatial interfaces have been converted for war uses. Thus, marking a point on a map and triggering a remote impact is the operational translation of the everyday gesture. to request a transport. The video proof requirement To obtain points, it also generates a vast operational database that feeds institutional learning: what objectives were achieved, with what platform, from what distance and how the enemy defense behaved. That visual and metric file facilitates dissemination of techniques between units and accelerates innovation from below, with real effects on tactics and doctrine. Psychological effects. The Guardian said that, beyond the material and the technical, the system produces a kind of emotional breakdown: Senior officials recognize that the process of assigning a numerical value to human life has ended up turning violence into technical, “practical” and “emotionless” work. At the same time, gamification produces camaraderie effects and competition that, according to the commanders, are healthy and encourages discipline and learning between peers. However, this same dynamic can generate operational biases (prioritizing high-scoring objectives over tactically relevant objectives, or the temptation of operations with low effectiveness but high cumulative performance) that distort strategic coherence. Implications and extension. The Ukrainian experience shows that incentive principles can be transferred to other areas: artillery that receives points for valid hits, reconnaissance that earns rewards for identifying targets, and logistics that scores the use of autonomous vehicles instead of human convoys. This extension transforms the war ecosystem into a set of internal markets where tactical-technological innovation is quickly monetized and scaled, forcing planners a double urgency: exploit the immediate advantages of the system without losing strategic coherence and design ethical and operational countermeasures that prevent internal competition from fragmenting the priorities of the military effort. And ethics? It’s the big question. Ethically, the commodification of violence raises profound questions about responsibility, proportionality and war crimes: Who responds when a score induces an action that violates humanitarian law? The appropriation of AI for target selection also introduces the question of attribution of responsibility between human operators, algorithms and the chain of command. Strategically, converting equipment gain into the primary source of replenishment aims to create dependency loops that, in logistical wear and tear scenarios, discourage long-term wear and tear operations that are necessary in the short term for larger objectives. Score the violence. The “Army of Drones Bonus System” represents a mutation relevant to the way motivation, acquisition and innovation are organized in contemporary warfare: it incorporates market logicpoint economies and automation technologies that increase lethality and efficiency, while eroding moral frameworks and opening new vectors of risk. Its contribution is undeniable in terms of capacity and adaptation, but its expansion urgently claim a framework that does not yet exist at national or international level. In the background, a long doubt in this species Amazon military: that what is celebrated today as tactical innovation can tomorrow become a structural source of insecurity and lack of moral control on the battlefield.

has signed an agreement with Amazon for 38,000 million dollars

by

OpenAI has sealed an agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) worth $38 billion over the next seven years. This is the first major contract for the company responsible for ChatGPT with Amazon, and marks a turning point in its strategy: stop depending exclusively on Microsoft and, on the other hand, have access to infrastructure and computing capacity at any cost. Alliances. As explained from NYTfrom 2019 to 2023, OpenAI bought all of its computing capacity from Microsoft, its main investor, which has allocated $13 billion to the startup. The contract stated that OpenAI could only contract with other vendors if Microsoft approved. However, last week both companies renegotiated the termseliminating Microsoft’s preemptive right and allowing OpenAI to freely contract with any cloud provider. What does the agreement include?. OpenAI will immediately begin running operations on AWS infrastructure, using hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processing units in the United States. According to Dave Brown, vice president of computing and machine learning services at AWS, “this is completely separate capacity that we are installing. Some of that capacity is already available and OpenAI is using it.” The first phase will employ existing AWS data centers, although Amazon will build additional infrastructure in the coming years. More investment in infrastructure. The movement adds to the race of massive spending by OpenAIwhich in recent weeks has announced deals worth approximately 1.4 trillion dollars with companies such as Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle and Google. Added to this are projects for build new data centers together with OracleSoftBank and the United Arab Emirates, among others. The company also wanted to reaffirm its commitment to Microsoft, committing to purchase an additional $250 billion in Azure services. Signs of business maturity. For OpenAI, diversifying its cloud providers and ensuring long-term capacity represents a crucial step towards a more than likely IPO. Sam Altman, CEO of the company, recognized recently on a livestream that an IPO is “the most likely path” given the company’s capital needs. Furthermore, just as points out According to CNBC, CFO Sarah Friar said the recent corporate restructuring is a necessary step toward that goal. Doubts about the AI ​​bubble. While OpenAI and Big Tech increase their spending, Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft have already allocated more than $360 billion in capital investments last year, and some financial analysts They already warn of a possible bubble. As AI evolves in leaps and bounds and OpenAI generates billions in annual revenue, its huge infrastructure spending makes the company not yet profitable. However, the strong feeling of market enthusiasm around artificial intelligence means that the company continues to increase its value greatly. What it means for Amazon. The pact is significant not only because of its volume, but because AWS has close ties to Anthropicdirect rival of OpenAI. Amazon has invested billions in Anthropic and is building a data center campus of $11 billion in Indiana designed exclusively for your workloads. After now knowing this news, Amazon shares have risen approximately 5%. Cover image | OpenAI and İsmail Enes Ayhan In Xataka | OpenAI has turned ChatGPT into mainstream AI.

With half of Europe debating recovering the military, in Spain there is a phenomenon that is gaining strength: military camps for young people

by

Moncloa has said it clearly: (at least today) there is no question of following in the footsteps of other neighboring nations, like germanyand recover military service. Not even on a voluntary basis. That does not mean that in Spain there is a type of initiative that is gaining strength: youth camps that emulate (in part) the old ‘military’ and promise a cocktail based on military discipline, sport, nature and survival lessons worthy of the preppers. And that tells us a lot about Spanish society. A percentage: 42% a few months ago a YouGov study generated debate with a percentage: 42%. According to their calculations, that is the proportion of Spaniards who welcome young people having to undergo compulsory military service, the old ‘mili’a benefit that disappeared in our country almost 24 years ago. The percentage is lower that of other neighboring nations, such as France (68%), Germany (58%) or Italy (49%) and also reveals that there are 58% of Spaniards who either oppose the return of the ‘military’ or do not have a firm opinion on the matter; but it yields another reading that is equally unquestionable: there is a considerable number of Spaniards (especially among the conservative party voters and older citizens) who are recognized in favor of compulsory military training. Don’t say military, say camp. Today the Government he doesn’t seem very willing to recover the military (Pedro Sánchez came to admit which for him was “a waste of time”), but that does not mean that there are initiatives and businesses that are prospering in the heat of this renewed military push. I confirmed it a few days ago The Confidential in a report in which he puts the thermometer to the interest that camps with military echoes are awakening in our country. There are two pieces of information that corroborate this. According to the newspaperright now these courses mobilize more than 2,000 young people each summer and account for around 5% of the turnover of the summer camp sector, a wide range that includes urban camps and those oriented to languages ​​and sciences. It may not seem like much, but a decade ago they barely existed. “Detect weak points”. A quick Google search is enough to find military camps in Madrid, Castile-La Mancha wave Valencian Community. Its activities focus on summer, they give a key role to young people and, although there may be differences Among them, they share a series of ingredients: uniforms, nature, sport, a discourse very focused on discipline and training in basic notions aimed at survival, which includes everything from lessons to orient yourself with the help of a compass to how to stop bleeding. In some the equation even adds weapons airsoft. “Our camp is military, not military. We are not the entrance hall to the army nor do we prepare young people to enter any other body such as the National Police or the Civil Guard,” explains José Gómeza 54-year-old former military man who has promoted a summer camp in Sigüenza aimed at young people. “It seeks to detect each person’s weak points and help them improve.” The bet doesn’t go badly at all. It started four years ago with just 14 children and in the last edition it exceeded 200. “In a week the kids leave here hardened.” “15 days do not change life”. The camps stand out for their discipline and “values ​​such as loyalty, sacrifice and teamwork”, such as stands out the person responsible for one of these facilities. Not everyone shares his optimism, however. In 2024 elDiario.es echoed from the opinion of some experts who questioned its effectiveness for parents seeking to instill discipline in their children. “You shouldn’t think that taking (a child) to a camp that works at the drop of a hat is going to give him back changed. 15 days doesn’t change anyone’s life,” reflected Mónica Nadal, from the Bofill Foundation. The Youth Institute (Injuve) also has shown his suspicion before this type of camps. Does it only happen in Spain? No. In fact there are other countries in which military camps for youth have been established for some time, such as USA, Russia either China. Again the details may vary, but there are certain elements in common, such as discipline, paramilitary echoes and patriotic discourse. The phenomenon is not foreign to Europe either and goes beyond young people. In the midst of the debate on the increase of defense spendingwith the war in Ukraine as a backdrop, an emboldened Putin and Trump sowing doubts about the future of the US in NATO, in the EU there are countries that have reopened the debate about the military or they have directly begun to recover it. One of the last has been Germany, which has reinforced its Armed Forces with a voluntary military service. The example of Denmark. Denmark leaves another interesting example. There the National Guard (Hjemmeværnet or HJV) is experiencing a real boom, with recruitment data that has not been seen since the 80s, in the middle of the Cold War. During the first trimester something more than 1,700 Danes They filled out and confirmed the form to register in this body made up of volunteers trained to intervene in an emergency and provide support to the country’s army. As a reference, during the first quarter of 2024, just over 1,000 had registered and in 2023 the figure did not even reach 700. The members of the HJV are volunteers, people who in their daily lives work in offices, stores, factories, schools… but receive training to, for example, collaborate during surveillance work, searches or in weather emergencies. With the focus on Gen Z. The phenomenon does not only coincide with a turbulent geopolitical scenario. As pointed out recently Elisabeth Braw in a column of Financial Timesalso connects with some obsessions of the youngest cohort, precisely the one that is now reaching recruitment age. “An epidemic of loneliness and Generation Z’s obsession with physical exercise could help Western countries strengthen civil defense,” … Read more

171 million euros later, Metro de Madrid wants to reopen line 7B. The big question is whether the tenth time will be the charm.

by

Line 7B of the Madrid Metro will fully reopen this same month of November after more than three years closed. It is the tenth attempt to normalize a service that was inaugurated in 2007 and that has accumulated more than 800 days without functioning since then. The total cost of repairs reaches 171 million eurosnot counting compensation to neighbors, which already exceeds 23 million and continues to increase. A disaster that began in 2007. When Esperanza Aguirre promoted this expansion to have it ready before the regional elections of 2007, no one could imagine the consequences. The construction of the tunnel seriously altered the subsoil by bringing salt and water into contact, which caused the progressive dissolution of the soil. The result: collapse of the tunnels, massive water leaks and structural damage to hundreds of homes in San Fernando de Henares and Coslada. According to internal documents obtained by El Paísalready in 2008 the technicians warned of the “risk of collapses in the metro tunnel and the surrounding buildings”, and in 2009 they warned that action was “extremely urgent.” The figures of the disaster. The repair bill includes 117 million invested by the Ministry of Transport in works and compensation, 49.7 million from the Canal de Isabel II in hydraulic infrastructure, 2.4 million from the Metro itself and 1.7 million from the Ministry of Education to demolish the El Pilar educational complex. In total, more than 171 million euros. But the number will continue to grow: Property compensation, which in 2022 was estimated at 12 million, has already reached 23.3 million and there are nearly 300 open files. Additionally, 73 homes had to be completely demolished, leaving families paying mortgages on homes that no longer existed. The technical solution. To stabilize the ground, the Community has injected more than 11,000 tons of mortar of concrete in the subsoil through 26,000 drillings that reach up to 45 meters deep. It has also deployed 179 mini topographic prisms inside the metro and laser sensors that send daily data on ground movements. The Polytechnic University of Madrid analyzes also satellite images to detect any anomaly. According to the Minister of Housing, Transport and Infrastructure, Jorge Rodrigo, 511 surveillance elements and five robotic stations have been installed that will constantly monitor the road, the land and nearby buildings. The neighbors don’t forget. Although the Community assures that the infrastructure now presents “stability” and meets “the necessary security conditions”, those affected they maintain their mobilizations and demand greater compensation in court. Furthermore, a study by the Polytechnic University detected “considerable movements” in distant areas “without stabilizing”, although without specifying more details. For the 120,000 inhabitants of San Fernando de Henares and Coslada, the November reopening is just the first step to move forward in almost two decades of nightmare. And now what. The Community will allocate an additional 8.2 million to surveillance and maintenance contracts to act immediately in the event of any incident without the need for emergency contracts. Line 7B will be the most monitored infrastructure of the Madrid Metro, precisely because it is the one that has caused the most problems. It remains to be seen if this time the line is truly stable or if it will close again, as has happened on nine previous occasions.

why more and more couples schedule sex

by

Wake up at seven, work eight hours, answer thirty emails, do the shopping, take the dog out, have dinner… And at 8:30 p.m., sex. On the calendar, with alert included. It seems like a joke, but it’s not. More and more couples do it: they schedule their sexual encounters as if they were a work meeting or a yoga class. In times of stress, screens and endless days, intimacy seems to have become another pending item on the agenda. What once came from a spark now requires planning. The sexual recession. Desire, experts say, has less and less space to appear. The sexologist and couples therapist Nayara Malnero He details it for eldiario.es with a phrase that condenses the feelings of many: “We have lives in which there is no time for intimacy, for ourselves or for our partner.” Working too much, sleeping too little, taking care of children or caring for the elderly, checking social networks before going to sleep… All of this leaves little room for contact. The consequence, according to various studies cited by Atlantic and British Medical Journalis part of a global trend: the so-called “sexual recession”, a sustained decrease in the frequency of intimate relationships in both young people and adults. And given this lack of space, many couples opt for what was unthinkable a few years ago: scheduling sex. According to The Knot’s Relationship & Intimacy 2024 study14% of married couples admit to doing it, and they report a much higher level of sexual satisfaction than those who do not do it. In another more recent survey, quoted by Dazed41% of those surveyed say they schedule their meetings several times a week, especially the youngest ones. And why do they do it? For some couples, scheduling sex is not an imposition, but a way to reserve space that would otherwise disappear. A 28 year old woman he told Dazed magazine who and her husband began writing their “intimacy schedule” on a white board. Not as an obligation, but as a way to reserve real time for each other: “It wasn’t ‘it’s Tuesday, it’s time to do it,’ but to make sure that that week we had a screen-free moment, just for us.” another couple reported something similar in Glamor: After months of routine, they decided to schedule intimate dates. “Desire begins in the morning: we send provocative messages, we flirt at dinner… And anticipation does the rest,” both pointed out that planning does not kill passion; wakes her up. Therapist Heather McPherson details it in a simple way: “Scheduling sex is adding intention and emotion to the relationship. It’s making sure you prioritize the bond with your partner.” For her part, Dr. Kelly Casperon compares it to something as everyday as sport: “It’s like exercising. We could do it at any time, but if you don’t schedule it, it doesn’t happen.” However, not all experiences are positive. Some people, interviewed by eldiario.esconfessed that trying to fit intimacy into the agenda became another source of pressure: “It became an obligation. Desire cannot arise where there is control or anxiety,” said one of them. Between therapy and cheating. Most specialists agree: planning can be useful, but only if it does not become a requirement. “It’s one thing to plan a date with enthusiasm—a dinner, a getaway—and another very different thing is ‘we have to do it because we have to’. Desire doesn’t work with pressure,” warns Malnero. Along the same lines, sexologist María Victoria Ramírez points towards this vision: scheduling “purely genital” encounters can be counterproductive, but scheduling intimacy without expectations can strengthen the bond. “You can schedule time free of obligations to chat, enjoy together and give space to physical contact,” he suggests. At Laurel Therapycouples therapists put it this way: “The key is to understand that intimacy is not always sex. It can be a deep conversation, a massage, or just laughing together. It’s not an obligation, it’s a protected space to connect.” And science supports this view. A study from York University in Canada has shown that planned sex is no less satisfying than spontaneous sex. In fact, for those who understand planning as a show of care and not as a task, sexual satisfaction even increases. Are we fading? Perhaps the problem is not a lack of desire, but a lack of time. We live in a culture that idealizes spontaneity: movie sex, passionate and improvised. However, reality, with its schedules and responsibilities, leaves little room for instant magic. The therapist Inma Ríos explains it like this: “Pretending that everything will arrive by magic is a way of condemning sexual life. The anticipation of the moment is already pleasurable: it activates our fantasies and feeds the libido.” For the sexologist Núria Canodesire does not disappear: it transforms. “When the infatuation wears off, desire works in a different way. Waiting for it to arise can be the real problem,” he points out. And he adds: “Thinking about the encounter in advance can fuel fantasy, even creativity. If we organize parties, why not plan sex?” The frenetic pace of modern society—work, screens, multitasking—seems to push couples toward organization. In that context, scheduling sex would not be so much an anomaly as a cultural adaptation. How to maintain balance? Therapists agree on one key point: the success or failure of planning depends on the approach. If done with pressure, it becomes a burden. But if done with humor, play and consensus, it can rekindle the relationship. From specialized portals They recommend taking care of the details: planning romantic dates, creating atmosphere, using anticipation as part of the pleasure or changes of scenery to maintain excitement even within a planned schedule. A British couple who have been together for 40 years tells The Guardian who has sex “every three days, always to the rhythm of Madonna.” And they assure that this routine, far from extinguishing desire, has kept them connected for decades. “Counting the days until the next meeting is exciting to me,” he confesses. … Read more

13 premiere movies and series to watch in November 2025 on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and streaming

by

The passing of Halloween has left us with a few interesting horror films in the catalogs of all platforms, but the next thing is coming, which is inevitably Christmas. Many of you will already be noticing how the romances of divorced women in sweaters are flooding streaming, but let’s try to abstract ourselves from that tempting little candy with a brief review of other attractive news for the month of November. That there is everything. Frankenstein Guillermo del Toro he has finally made his dream come true to adapt Mary Shelley’s canonical science fiction novel, while being both very faithful and very personal and in line with her usual obsessions. A monster different from the one we are used to in cinema, a mad scientist more deranged than usual and sumptuous settings and special effects that are the best of the show. That and the extraordinary incarnations of Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth, of course. On Netflix November 7 Stranger Things S5 The final season of ‘Stranger Things’, which will premiere divided into three parts between November 2025 and January 2026, promises to bring an epic closure to the saga. Set in the fall of 1987, the city is scarred by the rifts open to the Upside Down, and the group is tasked with finding and eliminating Vecna, who is still alive. The government has placed the town under military quarantine, making the task difficult. The season will have 8 full length episodesalmost like feature films, and will bring the entire group together for one last decisive battle. We return to Hawkins for the last time! On Netflix on November 26 Vallecas File A documentary series in three episodes that reviews the most famous and high-profile poltergeist case in Spain, which occurred after a mysterious death in the Madrid neighborhood 35 years ago. The production explores unpublished archives, to which key testimonies are added to show the human drama behind the myth. The series delves into the limits between parapsychology, the poltergeist phenomenon and the power of suggestion, in a series that attempts to delve into the real case that inspired Paco Plaza’s film ‘Veronica‘. On HBO Max on November 7 ozzy: No Escape From Now A documentary that offers an intimate and unvarnished portrait of the last years of Ozzy Osbournelegendary leader of Black Sabbath, in which he had to face the physical deterioration caused by Parkinson’s and other ailments, cope with the awareness of his own mortality and the desire to return to the stage for the last time. Avoiding easy tears by showing Ozzy’s fragility and humor in the face of adversity, it gives a unique testimony of the last bars of the life of one of the last rock stars we had left. His influence is also reviewed with the appearance of figures such as Slash, James Hetfield, Billy Idol and Tom Morello. On Skyshowtime on November 2 The Paper When we first heard about the idea, we raised an eyebrow: was there really a need to invoke the spirit of ‘The Office’ in an entirely new series? But when the first reviews arrived, apparently everything was going well: without being ‘The Office’ (remember that in its first seasons ‘The Office’ was not ‘The Office’ either), Greg Daniels, creator of the original series, seems to have correctly invoked the spirit of the classic: the team that made the mockumentary of that series focuses this time on a historic paper newspaper and its editor, who tries to keep it afloat. On Skyshowtime on November 14 Bat-Fam Did you like the Christmas special movie?Merry Mini Bat Christmas‘? Average: the best thing to come out of DC in years, if you ask us.

Only the prolific Ryan Murphy could give rise to such a concoction, with a series of legal intrigue that distances itself (partially, because its usual casting returns, Kardasian included) from the grotesque horrors of ‘American Horror Story’ and company. A kind of ‘Suits’ in a feminine key where a group of lawyers specialized in divorces leave a firm dominated by men to open their own office. ANDn Disney+ on November 4 The Fantastic Four: Firsts Steps Although it was not the revolution that many expected (and that Marvel needs), the new Fantastic Four movie has reinitiated the presence of these iconic heroes on screen with a fresher approach and more faithful to the essence of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s comic. Adventure, science fiction and light family drama combine in a film that benefits from dispensing with close ties to the rest of the world. MCUalthough it cannot escape the style, tone, humor and, above all, the closed structure without much oxygen of the rest of the house’s films.

Synthetic influencers are already selling in the thousands. A startup offers them as a service to manipulate networks

by

Influencer accounts created by AI are already a reality, some even have hundreds of thousands of followers. There is a startup that has taken this idea to the next level: they create and manage synthetic influencers to orchestrate massive actions on different platforms, all using AI. Their website reads “Never pay a human again”, a true declaration of intent. Doublespeed. It is the name of the startup that offers the service.
