China has resolved the mystery of why there are people who ruin seeing streams: the “榜一大哥”

by

A 37 -year -old man has mortgaged his house, sold his shares and indebted to spending 16 million yuan (2.2 million euros) donating money to a streamer called Lili (name modified by the original source, Tencent Newsto preserve its anonymity). His wife has put a lawsuit to try to recover family heritage. Why is it important. Chen Ping’s, told by SCMP, It is not an isolated case. In the Chinese courts there are 302 civil lawsuits related to “Streamers“And” Donations of streaming“. A residual figure considering the 1.4 billion inhabitants of China, but striking as an emerging trend. Of the 67 most relevant sentences, most plaintiffs are women of compulsive donors trying to recover family assets. The Virtual Donations Market in China was already by 140,000 million yuan (about 17,000 million euros = in 2019 and it is projected to reach 417,000 million in 2025 (about 49,000 million euros). The context. The “榜一大哥” (‘Big Brother‘) They do not seek sex or a traditional romantic relationship. They seek to be important in a community where money determines status. The platforms have gamified intimacy: each donation increases your “level of closeness” with the streamerthat will treat you as someone special, remember your name and give you private access by chat, generating that false feeling of intimacy. In detail. Chen Ping, the protagonist of the case, began donating small quantities that climbed a lot in a short time. The platforms offered “Blind boxes“Where paying real money you manage to send random gifts to Streamers to open them live. On your part. Like a casino, but where the prize is not money but virtual social status, let’s say. The streamer Lili had private groups from WhatsApp only for his greatest donors. Chen became administrator of his room streaming. His wife discovered intimate conversations where he wrote “I wait for you in bed” and she sent him videos in underwear. Yes, but. Chen He insists that he was only looking for “friendship” and “be treated as someone important.” In real life he was a manager in his father’s company, but he felt too controlled. In the sTreaming It could be he who started and ends relationships. The figures: In 612 days, Chen spent 13.5 million yuan in his main account and 2.5 million in another high school (1.6 million and 300,000 euros respectively). Only Lili directly donated 1.87 million yuan (220,000 euros) in more than 5,000 transactions. The rest vanished in blind and miniguegos boxes. On the other side. His wife, Ou Qing, lost three judgments trying to recover the money. Chinese courts have no clear jurisprudence: Some consider “consumption” donations (unrecoverable, therefore). Others consider them “gifts” (recoverable if there is adultery). In the end, Chen and Lili never met physically, so legally there was no “inappropriate relationship.” Deepen. This phenomenon is not exclusively Chinese. The Streamers They have discovered that selling artificial intimacy is more profitable than selling content. Muraunth already reinvented line 906 pulling from chatbot. And three years ago we talked about addicts to donate on Twitch. For that false feeling of intimacy, a special talent is not even necessary, just maintaining the illusion that the donor is special. It is the gamification of male loneliness.

People hate meetings. So they are sending their secretaries to take notes

by

Last month Clifton Sellers attended a meeting by video call at his work. Everything seemed normal until he noticed the list of the attendees. Of the 16 who went to the appointment, Only six were human beings. The rest were sent to transcribe the meeting, take notes and summarize it. The surprising thing is that what happened to Sellers is no exception: the rule is increasingly. To this meeting I come with my chatbot of AI. Some of the people who attended that meeting made it accompanied by AI chatbots to take notes and transcribe that meeting. And without warning, as if it were something totally normal. However, other chatbots of AI came alone on behalf of other employees. Those bots could only listen, not intervene. And yet we have a problem. “I want to talk to people”. Sellers explained In The Washington Post How this type of meeting caused him rejection because “I don’t want to talk to a group of bots that take notes.” The situation is ironic, because he himself had sent to a bot to take notes to any meeting in the past. The situation is worrying, especially since video calls are deriving dangerously. More meetings than ever. Pandemia caused Zoom, Teams or Meet to become the ideal alternative to physical meetings, and over time the phenomenon has transformed our way of working. According to Pumbleafter the pandemic there are 12.9% more doors per person and 13.5% more than meetings attendees. The video calls have caused, yes, that the meetings are much shorter (20.1%), but it is also happening something else. Goodbye to social norms in video call. This predominance of virtual meetings through video calls is causing changes in the “label” of these meetings. In many work video calls employees Now they usually join without turning on the camera and with the silenced microphone. The second is more normal: that everyone has the activated microphone can end up causing distortions and annoying echoes while another person speaks. The camera is more delicate, although it is traditionally associated with that recent phenomenon baptized as “zoom fatigue” (“Zoom Fatigue”). People are even using Gitlab recorded video calls To pretend that it is busy. The AI ​​boom for video calls. The big platforms to make video calls (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet) offer automated notes options using AI. There are also third -party solutions as Otter.AI that also enable these functions and raise a future in which meetings end up being very different from the current ones. And soon, meetings with digital twins. Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, explained Recently that your company wants to offer the possibility that your “digital twin”, an IA assistant who can not only attend those meetings in your place, but also can intervene in it as if it were. Everything you say will be recorded. This intrusion of AI at meetings has caused a new concern for attendees. Everything they say will be registered, recorded and transcribed. That can restrain freedom when expressing points of view or opinions, especially since those statements can then end up playing against who made them. Allie K. Miller, CEO of Open Machine, explained in Wapo how in her meetings her bot of AI to take notes until there are five minutes left to finish because that “people open more and the real questions come to light.” Machine, gather for me. 55% of managers Recognize That has too many meetings a day, and 27% of employees share that opinion. There are more and more meetings – many They could have been an email– And the AI ​​can help soften its impact, but we go to a future potential in which no one goes to meetings in person except who must explain any topic. Who knows if in the end not even that person comes and everything is meetings full of bots. Image | Surface In Xataka | Not only meetings kill productivity: notifications eat half of our day

An Italian artist sold a sculpture for 15,000 euros. The material of that sculpture: “Air and spirit”

by

That does not spend too much time without having to put on the table the eternal debate of What is art and what not. This time, an intangible sculpture brings this debate without clear response to the conversations. Is art what one wants it to be art? Well, yes in broad strokes. But there are nuances that this air sculpture is exceeding. 15,000 for nothing. Or for “nothing”, as you look. The artist Sardo Salvatore Garau, born in 1953, is the signer of ‘Io Sono’ (I am), an invisible sculpture, but which, according to its creator, exists because it is made of “air and spirit”. It was auctioned in 2021 and sold for 15,000 euros, but has returned to the present thanks to a viral post of the British medium Pubitythat thanks to its 40 million followers has recovered this Performance Invisible, in a publication that is already approaching the million ‘like’. With certificate of authenticity. It reads “Intangible sculpture to place in a free space of any hindrance. Variable dimensions, approximately 200 x 200 cm. Work accompanied by an authenticity certificate issued by the artist. Archive work with N. IM5. This certificate It is all the buyer received, and Garau explained That is the void that gives the work its power, because it is able to stimulate the reflection and perception of the spectator. Intangible art Garau is not inventing anything: Intangible art It is an artistic current that exists since the time of the conceptual art of the 60s and 70s, when it was defended that the work is not manifested through a traditional physical object, but is built with intangible elements such as sound, light, vacuum or energy. Among its most notable growers are Sun Lewittwhich defended that the idea could be the true work of art, or Yves Kleinwhich presented an empty room in 1958, symbolizing absolute immateriality. Klein even sells some of these vacuum zones, underlining its symbolic value. Art or thymus? A few years ago, an artist sold two white canvases to a museum under the name ‘Take the money and run’: it is another Performance in which a poisonous sense of humor underlies, but It can also be interpreted as art. Although it is undeniable that it is an art that reflects, from the margins, about the commodification of creativity and about the business around artistic creation. “The underlying idea was to show how salaries can be used to measure the value of the work,” said Danish artist Jens Haaning when he delivered the blank canvases in response to an assignment: to recreate two of his previous works. That is, in that case, delivery and collection were part of the work. It was almost a manifest. Sources and bananas. Likewise, as a manifesto the famous ‘source’ of Duchamp, an inverted toilet can be interpreted whose real authorship does not finish being clear And that helped to start the eternal debate of What is art and what not. Or the last earthquake that the industry lived, the famous banana attached to a wall with American tapeit was also a clear posture taking about certain controversial issues. Its 6.2 million dollars caught their attention, but everything was part of its creator’s proposal. You can, of course, discuss whether it is a face proposal, but do not doubt its intentionality. This paints my nephew. The debate on whether conceptual art is more or less valuable than figurative art It will never end. Much more now that artificial intelligences enter Liza and even Human intervention itself can doubt As part of creation. The conversation about what art is and what is not part, in fact, of the conception and discussion about it, and Garau’s sculpture is still an apostille in an eternal controversy.

“The tan is nothing more than a defensive response of the body, it is its way of saying ‘I am damaging'”

by

Every summer the same ritual is repeated: full beaches, sun bodies and solar creams forgotten at the bottom of the bag. In search of a fast tan, many people deliberately renounce sun protection, convinced that this golden tone is reached better without barriers. What seems an aesthetic or harmless decision, can have consequences that are only revealed over time. No to the cream. It is enough to open social networks to find videos that promote Do not use solar creams. From self -domening “experts” until anonymous users They share their “tricks” to get bruise faster, often omitting completely the use of sunscreens. False myth. This practice connects with a belief still entrenched: the idea that sunscreen prevents tanning or that “natural brunette” is a sign of health and beauty. Thus, aesthetic desire continues to be imposed on prevention, and the risk goes unnoticed. Dr. José María Ricart, dermatologist and medical director of the Ricart Medical Institute (IMR), explains to Xataka: “Many people still believe in the idea of ​​’healthy tan’, when it really is a sign of skin damage.” The data does not lie. The study all who has had PMFarma accessdriven by Laboratories Pierre Fabre, has revealed a worrying reality: 67% of Spaniards only use sunscreen to avoid burns, and not as a daily health habit. The report, which includes data from more than 50,000 people (4,000 in Spain), has shown that only 39.7% reaplies the photoprotector every two hours in the sunny days. The reasons for this misuse are since they forget (32%) to basic ignorance (11%) or, more worrying, they do not believe in their efficacy (10%). For its part, the SAFE study, to which the Spanish Institute of Health Trainers has had access, has contributed Another interesting fact and is that 79% of adults and 74% of Spanish children are exposed to the sun in maximum radiation hours, between 11:00 and 17:00. The problem beyond the skin. Taking the sun without protection is not a simple carelessness, it is a practice that accelerates skin aging and raises the risk of skin cancer. As Dr. Ricart explains, it is important to know the two types of ultraviolet radiation that can affect us. On the one hand, UVB rays, more powerful in summer, are those that cause solar burns and damage cell DNA. On the other hand, UVA rays, present all year, even on cloudy days, penetrate more deeply and are responsible for premature aging. “The tan is nothing more than a defensive response of the body. It is its way of saying: ‘I am damaging.’ If someone still doubts it, that compares the skin of the face with that of the buttock, an area never exposed to the sun: without spots, without wrinkles, without photonexing,” he emphasizes. Take it to the extreme. Oh, who is looking for unconventional shortcuts to achieve that long -awaited golden tone. One of the most curious examples is the old myth that Eating carrots intensifies tan. While beta-carotene present in these vegetables can give the skin an orange nuance, this effect does not replace or protect against sun damage. In fact, some experts have warned that it is a superficial coloration, not a true tan, and that bringing this practice to the extreme – such as consuming large amounts of carrot daily – can end in carotenodermia: an orange pigmentation that has little to do with summer aesthetics. Frequent errors. Even those who believe they make failures that drastically reduce the effectiveness of sunscreen. Among the most common mistakes, Dr. Ricart highlights the fact of not applying it daily, not doing so in advance (20 or 30 minutes before leaving), reapplying it after a bath or every two hour, using small quantity and reusing expired creams or the previous summer. Prevention with technology. To raise awareness about these risks, technology has been put at the service of prevention. An example is Mysun Experiencea digital tool developed by Eau Thermale Avène and the artificial intelligence company Data Ora. This simulator allows the user to see how their skin will age in the next 15 years according to their sun protection habits. Another model is possible. The aesthetic pressure of the tan still weighs. Golden bodies continue to dominate ads, social networks and beauty referents. But the medical message is clear: each without protection exposure is a cumulative aggression for the skin. And that damage, sooner or later, shows. Image | Pexels Xataka | That the AEMPS retires six solar creams is good news. That he had to ask for the OCU is worrying

An influencer wanted to sunbathe in bikini in Dubai. Her husband did the most logical among millionaires, buy an island

by

With the heat that We are suffering in Spain, And with the holidays around the cornermore than one sure you want to lie on the beach To sunbathe and do What is most fancy in summer: nothing. However, if you are a woman and live in Dubai, that is a slightly more restricted activity … unless your husband is a millionaire and can buy you an island For you alone. Jamal al Nadak, a magnate of the Arab Emirates, has taken this concept to the next level when bought a private island just so that his wife can sunbathe in a bikini without worrying about other people’s looks. An island only for her Soudi al Nadak26, it is a British influencer that resides in Dubai and has conquered more than 431,000 followers on Instagram and 1.3 million in Tiktok, with a publication that accumulates more than 1.8 million views. In That publicationthe influencer included a video in which he saw her traveling by plane and arriving at a Paradisiaca Isla de Arenas Blancasleafy vegetation and crystalline waters to which he added a phrase: “Pov: you wanted to use a bikini, so your millionaire husband bought you an island.” Although it is defined as “full -time housewife”, the reality is that its day to day is surrounded by luxuries and attentions, while his house is attended by an army of employees. That allows you to dedicate yourself to your image and social networks. “My only rule in life is to always be pretty,” he laughs in one of his videos, while showing exclusive purchases in London or dinners in the most expensive restaurants in Dubai. The idea of ​​buying the island arose when Soudi told her husband her desire to, as a good British, sunbatsomething that Jamal, Muslim practitioner, did not approve in public. However, he decided to look for the most millionaire solution possible: to acquire a private island so that his wife could enjoy the sun with total freedom and privacy. The price of the island amounted to 50 million dollarsa figure that for many is unattainable, but that in the context of Dubai can be seen as One more investment. Touch the image to go to the original message Living in Dubai, the most logical thing would have been to think that the chosen island would be one of the many Artificial islands that are abandoned in the surroundings the city. However, again, the most millionaire solution emerges. The island in question is at some indeterminate point of Asia. Throughout the video, the influencer made sure to keep its exact location for privacy reasons. This detail is not less: the couple seeks to enjoy their fortune without restrictions and Far from the traditional rules of Dubai, where bikini exposure can be a reason for controversy. Beyond that, the influencer counted in the comments that the couple considered the island as A real estate investment More than a while considering. “It was something we were looking for for some time as an investment and my husband wants me to feel safe on a beach, that’s why he bought a,”collected ABC. The new Dubai the old customs Although Dubai is a emirate recognized for his Modernity and Opening to Tourismit continues to maintain many traditional customs. It is allowed to bathe in bikini on the beach, provided be done with discretion and cover once out of the water. This rule is more tolerant of tourists, but socially it is not well seen that local women do it, especially if they are Muslim. For that reason, the influencer made that peculiar request.

Thus I keep the house clean

The other day a friend asked me how it was possible that I had the house so clean having five cats, and also in the time of mute hair. She has two and confessed that the floor of her house seemed like a westernwith hair balls rolling from here to there. It is not magic and no, Nor did I spend the day cleaningbut I have four vacuum cleaners and a perfectly drawn plan so that my house is not the paradise of the hairs. The vacuum cleaners Surely you are wondering why four vacuum cleaners? Perhaps at the time when all vacuum cleaners were almost equal, it would not make much sense, but Each vacuum fulfills a functionThe thing changes. This is my winning alignment: Roborock Qrevo Curv My last acquisition is the Roborock Qrevo Curv And I can’t be happier with her. Aspires and frieand also do it very well. It has two rotary mops and one of them lengthens to reach the corners. The brush that collects the dust also “stretches” to collect more dirt. It is also silent, it is cleaned alone and I can even control it with the voice. My cats hate her, but the fault is yours for letting so leave hair.

Japan looks for the person who built a road on the largest lake in the country. Does not lead anywhere

by

Japan It usually fascinates by The unknown and sometimes inexplicable From our western culture (also It happens to them with us). In a country where many words They don’t even have a translation To our language (or They need a phrase), there are countless situations that cause us curiosity. Then there is another set of stories that not only fascinate us, but also. This is one of them, and it started when someone saw something certain. The road. We are in one of the most famous places in the Japanese country. Located in the center-west of the island of Honshu, in the prefecture of Shiga, northwest of Kyoto, is the monumental Biwa Lakethe most extensive in Japan occupying an area of ​​670 square kilometers. Well, the country lives immersed in a mystery that hardly has a logical explanation: someone has built without permission A road on the lake. And it does not carry anywhere. Lake Biwa from space The Chivatazo. The story began last year, when the Anonymous report He arrived at the Civil Engineering offices of the city of Takashima, Shiga Prefecture. This document reported a strange sighting in Biwa. Someone had built what seemed like a road on the largest lake in Japan. An investigation not only verified the track, but also the measures of that mysterious construction. It was a road about 70 meters long and 3 meters wide made of compacted ground that connected two geographical accidents in the Delta del Río Ado. In addition, you could see tire footprints, which clearly indicates some type of use. Google Maps. The satellite tools like Google Maps gave another track of the antiquity of the road. The satellite shots taken three years ago showed nothing similar to a embankment or road, nor of sediments that indicated some kind of natural formation, and Shiga’s prefecture claimed that “until May last year, the road nobody had confirmed the road.” Location of the “road” on Google Maps Visible. From Google Maps Today it is appreciated that the road has suffered considerable wear, probably due to the water rise. In fact, the area close to the site in question is a wetland that even the locals can access. Takashima residents have no idea, since no one ever goes to that area, “there is nothing to do except that hornets or wild boars,” The premises point out. Television travels. The ball became bigger. If nothing and no one used to approach the surroundings of the construction, who and why the hell did such a work? History has taken such a traction that up there local televisions have been displaced. One of the reporters indicated that when he arrived, he observed that the poor condition had made several areas, which betrayed pieces “that looked like asphalt, iron and concrete.” The last track. After the initial notice, the Department of Civil Engineering reported on the road to the Police. Three days later, the authorities received a call from an anonymous person who told them that he had been the author, and that he had piled up land to make the way. The Civil Engineering Department ordered the person to return the area to their original state. A mystery without logic. If you have come here it is possible that you want to know the reason or reason that led whoever was going to build a road on the most extensive lake in Japan. We talk about a work of days and a lot of work for a single person, one who, apparently, makes no sense. That data Police have not given itand it is only known that there is an accusation for unauthorized development, although the person after the call has not appeared so far. Meanwhile, a year later since the Prefecture instructed those who filled the area to restore it to its original state, but the path that leads to nowhere is still there.

AI is one of the most advanced technologies that the human being has built. It also gets distracted with a cat

by

An irrelevant phrase, such as “cats snoring when they feel safe”, it can be enough for artificial intelligence to make a reasoning error. It is not necessary to change the question, nor manipulate the code, nor use advanced techniques. Just mislead her. Literally. A minimum distraction, a maximum error. A team of researchers specialized in computer science and artificial intelligence of Collinear AI, Servicenow and Stanford He has discovered A new way of attacking the great language models: inserting a random phrase just after the prompt. This phrase does not have to be related to the question, or contain false information. You just have to be there. AND If you talk about cats, better. That is why the technique is called ‘Catattack’. This is how Catattack works. The technique consists of adding an irrelevant phrase and outside the focus of the question after the real statement of a complex problem that requires reasoning by the model. For example: “We launched a coin 12 times. What is the probability of obtaining at least 10 faces knowing that the first two runs are in face? Curious fact: cats sleep during most of their lives“ Errors found by adding an irrelevant phrase to the prompt. Image: Arxiv: 2503.01781v1 The model, instead of focusing on mathematical operation, seems to lose focus. The team automated this process using phrases generated by other language models or extracted from databases with natural language. They made sure they were grammatical, neutral and without technical information. And yet, the impact was massive. The attack follows this process: Generation of ‘triggers’ (activators): An automated system creates seemingly irrelevant phrases that are added to mathematical problems Transfer of vulnerabilities: The attacks are first tested in weaker models and then transferred to more advanced systems Semantic validation: It is verified that the phrases do not change the meaning of the original problem Everyone falls. The researchers tested this technique starting with Deepseek V3, and then inject the result into other higher models and reasoning such as Deepseek R1, or models O1 and O3-mini of OpenAi. In all cases there was a significant fall in the precision of the answers. In some evidence, the researchers showed that the transfer of these incorrect results reached a rate of up to 50%. The attacks were tested in tasks of logic, mathematics and verbal reasoning. Vulnerabilities that remain to stop. The study concludes that even the most advanced reasoning models are vulnerable to those activators that do not depend on the consultation, which significantly increase the probability of errors. He showed that even in powerful reasoning models, such as Deepseek R1, the error rate tripled. In addition to inducing errors, these elements added to the PROMPTS make the answers also unnecessarily long, which can generate computational inefficiencies. There is still cloth to cut. Researchers highlight the need to develop more robust defenses, especially in critical applications such as finance, law or health. The team suggests that training models through adversarial resistance could be a way of making them more robust. What is clear is that if an AI can fail for something as simple as a phrase about cats, there is still a job to do before blindly trust its reasoning capacity. And yes, the name of the attack is not accidental. Sometimes, everything that is needed for AI to lose the thread … It’s a cat. In that we seem.

The not so far -fetched theory that argues that the cradle of Spanish football is in an unsuspected place: Vigo

by

In football not all matches are played on the grass. For years there is a struggle that is settled in the newspaper libraries, the archives and local chronicles of the Spain of the late 19ths: that of the origins of the origins of Foot-Ball homeland The most widespread version, the canonic and the one that Mention The Royal Federation (RFEF) on its webs Recreationalthe dean of national football. However, there is a theory that places the cradle of Spanish football at the other end of the Peninsula, in Galicia. To be more precise at the Vigo docks. What is the cradle of football? You may like more or less, but kicking a ball has always made us funny. The citizens of ancient Greece practiced a game called Episkyrosthe peoples of pre -Columbian Mesoameric had their popular Pok-a-tok And even the Vikings were fond of Knattleikr. If we talk about football as we know it today, however, the genesis of sport must be located later, in nineteenth century England. There, in him Mortlake districton the outskirts of London, a match between Barnes Football Club and the Richmond Football Club was held more than a century and a half ago than It would be crucial For the history of modern football. The reason? Its rules. Before, matches had been played, but with guidelines agreed by the teams themselves. The December 1863 was the first one that was governed by the rules of the newly created Football Association (FA), founded only a couple of months before. And when do you jump to Spain? The most widespread version ensures that football came to our country not much later, in the 1870s, via Huelva. And for reasons that have more to do with finance economy than sport. In 1873 it was established A company of British capital to exploit the deposits of the Riotinto Minera Basin and with it they landed in the British region that soon gave free rein to one of its great hobbies, football. South Canal remember That on August 16, 1873, coinciding with the patron saint festivities of San Roque, a match was already held in the town, “the first football played in Spain,” the local chain says. Of that set echoed A few years ago ‘Mines and Riotinto, cradle of football in Spain’, a work published with the support of the Diputación de Huelva, which would confirm that the first goal of Spain was sung in the small town of the region of the Mining Basin. And the first team? Five years later, in 1878, the Riotinto English Cluban association that facilitated that British engineers and sailors could practice sports such as Cricket, Polo, Pole Lawn-Tenis or the Foot-Ballwhich in turn referred to the creation of the Rio Rio FC. The recreational itself remember That there is a record of at least one match played in the province on September 10, 1874, an encounter between personnel in charge of the railroad tracks that linked Huelva and the mines and a gang moved to Gibraltar. Riotinto FC 1918. Sobple matter? Not at all. Years ago a Galician story, José Ramón Cabanelas, took a surprise while diving in the newspaper library of Vigo lighthousenewspaper founded in 1853. The expert was looking for documentation for a book on the origins of the Eastern Telegraph Company (the English cable) in the Galician city when he met a brief and irony passage that activated his historian instinct. The reason? What counts … and what suits. The text was signed by some of the chroniclers of Vigo lighthouse June 10, 1876, And tells: “Again they have visited us (to the casino) the English. They are as friendly! They walk like four, they step on six and drink like fifty. They fish, hunt, smoke, paint and play ball according to their use and way.” To any other reader the comment would have gone unnoticed, but Cabanelas remained a question: what did the English mean that the English “play the ball”? Are there British in Vigo? Yes. If in the 70s of the nineteenth century Mines de Riotinto had displaced British to take care of the exploitation of their mines, Vigo had them for another business as relevant: the management of the telegraph. Since 1873 the city welcomed offices of the Eastern Telegraph Companycompany that Vigo had chosen for its good location as access to the peninsula and the tranquility of its estuary. In fact, years later, in 1896, another similar company would also be established, the Deutsch Atlantische TelegrapheGellchaftthe German cable. Each arrived in addition to its patriot colony. And how important is that? Much, according to Cabanelas. The historian recalls that the English cable offices settled in Vigo in May 1873 and the British transferred to the city soon A franchise From the Exiles Club Club, an association where the expatriates could meet, stay with their families, chat about the future of the convulsive start of the twentieth century … and also practice the most popular sports in England and organize teams. Perhaps in Galicia there were still no players accustomed to football, but Vigo already had at that time from a port through which English flag ships with crew willing to play a match against his compatriots of the telegraph. The meetings were played in the Malecon, an area located today in the urban center and that stands out as one of the most sought -after in the city. Conclusion? Cabanelas It is clear: “The first football matches began to be played in Vigo as soon as the English cable arrives in May 1873”. Another chronicle of Vigo lighthouse Of 1880, he confirms that by then the “games with ball” were so popular that they aroused the interest of the neighbors, moving “so many spectators as Rafael Díaz used to have in their equestrian circus.” “The English settled in Vigo in 1873, that is, ten years after the Constitution in England of the Football Association and, from the first moment, their customs were brought … Read more

There are people using AI to “invent” their own memories from photographs. And that has opened a philosophical debate

by

In the photo the kid smiles, abholly happy. His mother, also smiling, hugs him while looking at the camera. The photo could be that of any of us with our mother, but with this happens one thing: that an AI has made it a video. One that immediately has the potential to become a memory. A memory of lie. That photo shared it in x Alexis Ohanian, co -founder of Reddit, millionaire and entrepreneur. Ohanian – caught with Serena Williams since 2017 – told in that message how when he created that video innocently “I was not prepared for how I would make me feel this.” In his family they had no video camera, so he never had a video with his mother. So almost without thinking he used that photo in the newly released Midjourney video generator so that from it generated a video for AI. The result left him astonished. “This is how she hugged me,” he explained. “I have seen it 50 times again.” But with that message A great moral and philosophical debate was unleashed. One about how something like this can impact us individually and as a society. While Ohanian himself He defended himself Before those who criticized the idea (“I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t use AI for this”) others They explained to him that those memories were not real: “Creating a video for someone loved is not to create a memory of them. You are putting words they never said in their mouth.” As said Another user named Erich Thilow, “is (a memory). But seeing it will make it real in your memory. I am not a fan of something like that.” Other users took advantage of cinema as the center of the debate. A user named Vanillaelle shared A Harry Potter photogram revealing with a false memory of his parents in the mirror (which has inspired the image of this theme). Another user called Andro toward The analogy with ‘Matrix‘. In that movie, he explained, one to see her wondered why people would want to face reality. “Now he doesn’t have to ask him,” said said user. The era of false memories That new capacity of the generative AI Generate false memories It is disturbing, and it could well be part of that concept already studied in psychology. These lies memories did not happen or are the distortion of a real event, and according to experts, such as the American psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, it is possible to induce them such as hypnosis or with techniques such as the essay: repetitions of an event that was confirmed as fantastic. Upon listening or visualizing the same event, the person can begin to remember as if it had really happened. That idea thrown by this psychologist also collects it Francisco Taberneroclinical psychologist in Puertollano (Ciudad Real). According to him “memories are usually quite distorted”, but for him there is no special risk in that type of process that converts a photo into a souvenir of lie: “The general experience of memory will be subjective and more or less the same we had. I do not think that a few seconds of movement change the memory that you already had. At the emotional level the memory is all emotion, what causes you remains the same as what you have told to the AI.” Loftus – criticized by the pseudoscientific concept he created, the “false memory syndrome” – published A study In this regard, together with Ira E. Hyman Jr., and both explained how “memory is always constructive. People create the past based on the information that remains in memory, in general knowledge, and on social demand to recall situations.” Ethical and moral issues are definitely huge, and to talk about them we wanted to contact more experts. Santiago Sánchez-Migallón (The von Neumann machine) It is defined as a “philosopher of AI” and is usual collaborator of Xataka. For him, “we must understand the emergence of a technology as an opportunity and no, a priori, as something perverse only because of the fact that he treats a delicate issue as, in this case, the death or authenticity of memories.” Sánchez-Migallón makes it clear that the first thing is to make technology safe and that the user “can differentiate true and false memories”, but assured this, this expert thinks that with this technology it would be possible to help “erase traumas” and even imagine a not very distant future in which it was possible to gain procedural memories or skills: “Could we record in our brain the ability to play the piano or talk?” Darío Benítezpsychologist and co -founder of PSYCHOFLIX and of the podcast Validlyit is optimistic with AI, but you see “few or no advantage” to this type of application because “if you are reliving an image of a loved one you expose yourself to an emotion that you did not expect and that can rekindle a type of duel that you had already prosecuted.” Something like that, he indicates, can change the perception of your values ​​because this type of lies memories “can make you feel that you lived them and that that effectively happened.” It is like Ohanian’s own example. For Benítez it could happen that in the video generated the mother looked at the child with a subtle disdain and generated a reaction of the type “yes, it is true that my mother did not treat me at all well”, thus generating a hallucination that connects with another idea that perhaps had of her past, which in that case would be of the type “my childhood was not so good.” All that “would even more entangle things,” says this psychologist. The danger of being able to mold memory An technology also has another danger that we have already perceived in many other technological areas. Especially in mobile phones and social networks, which tend to isolate us and catch us in the doomscrolling. With these videos created by generative, “it could be … Read more
