Not even the greatest US attack has achieved its goal in Iran. Nobody knows where is the great unknown of 400 kg

by

After the first hours, and with them the Trump statements That the Iranian nuclear program had been “complete and totally annihilated”, senior US officials have recognized that, in reality, they do not know where the most sensitive Iranian element is, an unknown of 400 kilograms of reserve. A latent bomb. After the overwhelming offensive American Aeria on the main Nuclear facilities From Iran (Fordow, Natanz and Isfahán), the attention of intelligence agencies does not focus solely on craters, but on an invisible but crucial element: the, a priori, just over 400 kg of enriched uranium at 60%, very close to the military threshold, whose whereabouts remains uncertain. As we said, despite the Trump’s proclamations On Iranian nuclear capabilities, experts and officials recognize that the true unknown is whether the material was destroyed, transferred (they have had plenty of time since the conflict broke out) or disseminated in clandestine facilities. The difference between a neutralized nuclear and latent program It depends on the destination of that vital stock. The Shadow of Fordow. He counted In the Financial Times The former American official Richard Nephew, that the destruction of the visible facilities It might not have affected the most sensitive material, stored in dust Inside metal cylinders in deeply excavated tunnels. Fordowbeing hidden under a mountain, would have offered limited but not zero protection. However, there is a growing suspicion that they will move their uranium Before bombingwhich would represent an early strategic play. An informant of the Iranian regime declared that it would have been “very naive” to leave uranium in the attacked sites, and assured that the material It is still intact. Moreover, figures such as the director of the OIEA, Rafael Grossi, They take for granted After reviewing satellite images and logistic movements records near underground tunnels in Fordow, which Iran could have evacuated uranium days before of attacks. Silent withdrawal. Explained The New York Times that those evidence suggest that they will go displaced part of the uranium From Isfahán, its main storage center, towards still unknown sites. Although the centrifuging (key pieces of the enrichment process) could not be evacuated due to their size and complexity, the stored fuel would have been mobile enough as to be extracted in discrete vehicles. Satellite images showed At least 16 trucks Near the accesses to Fordow days before the attack, which reinforces the theory of a preventive evacuation. Natanz’s installation, on the other hand, It was devastated by Israel, which disabled the superficial enrichment center and caused a blackout that probably destroyed the centrifugators. However, Iran had already begun the construction of a deeper underground installation to the south of the city, although it ensures that it still It is not operational. Between deterrence and clandestine activity. Although Iran insists that his program It has civil endsthe partial destruction of its infrastructure and the selective murder of at least eleven nuclear scientists have fed voices within the regime they suggest Check the doctrine nuclear. International analysts fear that the coup catalogs a turn towards hidingwith the installation of new advanced centrifugers and the restart of activities in unstalled facilities. To the big question about those 408 kg of 60%uranium, Iran could in a matter of days refine it until reaching the necessary purity For nuclear weapons (90%) if you have the necessary technical team, although the miniaturization and assembly process would still take months or even a year. Precedents The cases of India, Pakistan and North Korea show that, even under international surveillance, it is possible to build a hidden nuclear capacity. Sima Shine, Mossad’s intelligence formerist, He affirmed in FT Being convinced that Iran has already relocated both their enriched uranium and part of their technical infrastructure, which would allow a quick reload if the political decision is made. In other words: despite the military coup, political will, scientific knowledge and industrial experience remain intact. Collapse of international control. We have counted before. The inspections of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are They have suspended Due to Israeli attacks, which has left a critical void in the verification of the Iranian program. Even before the offensive, Iranian cooperation with the agency had drastically decreasedand Tehran had already secretly built a third unstalled enrichment installation. Israel managed to damage Natanz and Isfahán, but acknowledged that he had no capacity to destroy Fordow without the help of the United States, which contributed His antibunker artillery more powerful inside its B-2. The big doubt. Thus, nobody knows exactly if we are facing an end point or A phase change. The emerging consensus between analysts is that the Iranian nuclear program has not been destroyed, but Your known form. If you survive, It will be transformed: either in a clandestine program aimed at obtaining weapons, or (in case of successful negotiations) in a purely civil version, devoid of the complete fuel cycle. Advisor Ali Shamkhani summed up with coldness: “Although the facilities are destroyed, the game is not over.” The capacities, material and determination are still there. Hence, the real outcome may not depend on visible craters, but on the dust stored in Some hidden place of the Iranian subsoil. And until you know where that uranium is, the “unknown” has only become more difficult to track.

Amazon tried to remove the dependents and ATMs of the equation. But who has really achieved it is Inditex

by

Amazon imagined a system of Automated stores in which the client should not even worry about. However, It has not been The giant founded by Jeff Bezos who is the best results in this goal. Who is breaking it is Inditex. In the last presentation of results, the Textile multinational assured that its autopagogue system is being a resounding success in some stores of the firm, reaching 90% of the total operations in some cases, such and as they point out in Five days. The passage through box, a critical moment. The time to pay has always been one of the most delicate in the shopping experience, especially for The long lines that can be formed in traditional boxes. Therefore, the arrival of autophagous systems has meant a radical change in supermarkets and large stores. In some of the most relevant stores of the Inditex Group, the number of autophagous transactions has exceeded the collection operations in conventional box. This figure, which practically doubles the one of the previous year, shows that the autopagogue model has ceased to be a simple trend to become the norm in many of its most advanced premises. More technological investment. The good Inditex results in their payment experience have their origin in the investment of brands such as Zara in Automated payment systems whose pilot test was launched in March 2025 in four establishments of the firm in Madrid, Santiago de Compostela, Bilbao and Barcelona. This investment is not only to install more autophagous positions, but also accompanied by different mobile technologies. Through a tablet any store employee scan the “soft labels” of the garments through NFCadd them to a virtual basket and the customer can pay their purchase instantly with your mobile card or payment. When completing the payment, the RFID label integrated in the garment is deactivated. Together, Inditex claims to offer an experience similar to online purchasebut face -to -face in store and with garments in hand. Priority in new openings and Flagships. According to Gorka García-Tapia, director of relationship with investors in Inditex, the multinational has begun to prioritize the use of this autopagogue model in some of the new openings of their brands of all the world. He has also applied it to some of his Flagships such as Zara de Plaza de España in Madrid, Major Zara in Spain, and in other new international locations such as Los Angeles and Nanjing. Automatizing the purchase process contributes to these new stores Be more profitable. Article 14 collected The statements of Oscar García Maceiras, CEO of Inditex about the importance of this technology in the purchase experience. “This initiative is part of the commitment to improve customer experience and innovate with new technologies.” Advantages and Challenges of Autophagus. The popularity of autophagous systems is, above all, to the speed and comfort they offer to the reduce queues and wait to be attended in a conventional box. Customers value being able to manage their purchase autonomously and without waiting, which significantly improves their satisfaction. However, these advances also raise important challenges, especially for older people, who can find difficulties to adapt to these new technologies, something that bank has not yet solved with Your ATMs. In addition, there is some concern among consumers for the possible impact on employment. Autophagous systems can be perceived as a threat to jobs that traditionally occupied the ATMs. Companies, on the other hand, defend that the staff can devote themselves to advice and customer service tasks, “allow us to devote more time to improve customer experience,” said García Maceiras.

The British who lost 700 million in Bitcoins when he threw his album has just achieved what anyone saw coming: his own series

by

In the world there is only one hard drive that nobody has been able to find, but many remember. Contains between 7,500 and 8,000 bitcoins and, According to its owneris buried under tons of garbage in a Newport landfill, Wales. James Howells It has been trying to recover it for more than a decade because its digital assets exceed 700 million euros. He has not succeeded. However, its story is now more valuable than ever: an American producer has bought exclusive rights to turn it into docuserie, podcast and, if everything goes as planned, also into content for social networks. Howells is a computer engineer. He lives in Wales and has been obsessed for years with the idea of ​​recovering that device, which ensures that he keeps the private keys of a digital fortune generated in 2009, when the price of cryptocurrency had not yet risen. At that time, Bitcoin was a newborn experiment. It used to undermine from domestic computers and its value was so low that no one imagined what it would be. Howells was one of the first to get on that wave, and also one of the first to lose everything without having sold anything. A landfill, a digital fortune and an obsession without end to view As told the Guradian years agomore than a decade ago, while cleaning at home, confused hard drives. He threw the wrong. Shortly after, seeing how the price of Bitcoin raised, he realized what he had done. “Do you know when you throw something in the trash and you think ‘it’s a bad idea’? It really happened to me,” he told the newspaper. Since then he is convinced that the device ended up in the Docksway Municipal Villagemanaged by the Newport City Council. And since then, he has also tried to recover it by all possible means. Over the years he has presented different proposals to find the album. In 2022 came to raise an operation of 10.7 million euros To execute with a team of data recovery specialists, environmental engineers and specific machinery. Its plan included the use of artificial intelligence, a robotic arm to sift waste and even Boston Dynamic robot dogss. He also offered part of the money with the authorities and the citizens of Newport. But nothing worked. Authorities have always refused. They allege that environmental risks are too high, that the operation does not guarantee results and that the public cost, in case of failure, would be unassumable. In January 2025the British Superior Court rejected the claim of Howells, claiming that There was no “realistic possibilities” successful Shortly after, the resource was also dismissed. Howells represented himself in the view, using AI tools to prepare his case. It was not enough. Now plan Bring the case to the European Court of Human Rights. And meanwhile, consider another option: Buy the landfill. The City Council has announced that it will close during the 2025–2026 year and plans to convert part of the land in a solar park. For Howells, that decision disassembled one of the key arguments used against him in court: to suspend the activity of the landfill to dig would cause damage to the neighbors. If the closure is already underway, he maintains, there should be no more obstacles. He says he talked to investors and ensures that he has support to acquire the installation “as it is.” This whole route is the one that has captured the attention of Lebula producer based in Los Angeles specialized in multiplatform stories. As we point out above, he has acquired the exclusive rights of Howells’s history to develop what they have entitled ‘The Buried Bitcoin: The Real-Life Treasure Hunt of James Howells‘, a project that will combine different formats and channels. The objective is not only to tell the past, but also to follow in real time the next steps of the protagonist. The initiative includes “a premium format docuserie”, a narrative Póstcast and a short content strategy for social platforms. Lebul defines the project as “a live treasure search” that mixes technology, judicial drama and personal ambition with a very current backdrop: the promise of cryptocurrencies. As explained by the company, CGI effects and high -level narrative resources will be used to recreate the key moments of history and show the technical plan proposed by Howells. “This is not just content,” said Reese Van Allen, president of Unscripted Entertainment in Lebul. “It is a real -acting technological thriller With almost one billion dollars at stake, and Lebul is proud to bring it to the world. “The company affirms that the project has already aroused the interest of streaming platforms, global sponsors and relevant figures of the crypto ecosystem. At the moment, however, we do not know what service we could see, if it becomes a reality. “After seeing the documentary, people will understand that it is not crazy” Filming is scheduled for the summer of 2025, with an estimated premiere between October and November. The producer has also confirmed that the story will include the purchase attempt of the landfill, the last judicial failures and the current state of the conflict with the City Council. For Howells, this project represents a unique opportunity: “It is the first time that I will be able to clearly teach what we want to do in the landfill. After seeing the documentary, people will understand that it is not crazy,” told the BBC. The case has caught the attention of dozens of producers over the years. According to Howells himself, He received more than 200 proposalsincluding some winners of the Bafta and the Emmy. Until now he always said it was not the time. The legal battles were open, and the story still had no shape. Lebul’s announcement marks a change. For the first time, its history becomes a media project with calendar, budget and ambitions digital distribution. Is the hard drive really there? Is it still intact after more than a decade underground? Will you keep private … Read more

Bitcoin has just achieved a new historical maximum of $ 110,000 because banking and companies have gone from hating him to love him

by

Bitcoin broke the $ 111,000 barrier this Thursday and marked a new record. The difference is that while in other records the reasons had to do with external events, here the growth is mainly due to one thing: the interest of some institutions that for years reneged of this type of investment. 111,878 dollars. A few hours ago, as indicated in Coindesk, a Bitcoin worth 111,878 dollars, a figure never seen before and that seems to confirm that renewed optimism that investors have recovered for this cryptocurrency. A singular recovery. The tariffs announced by Trump affected not only the world bags, but also the cryptocurrencies, which fell significantly. It also happened with Bitcoin, but since they were announced Pauses and exemptionsBitcoin’s growth has been clear. On April 9, it was at $ 76,000, but since then its value has been increased more than 45%. Institutional love. The demand for this cryptocurrency not only comes from cryptoactive funds or traditional sale markets (exchanges): companies and institutions are now becoming large sources of investment and begin to treat BTC as a value reserve. And business. There are several companies that are betting hard on Bitcoin. In fact, some are turning cryptocurrencies into their true focus. The most extreme case is Strategy (formerly Microstrategy), which already has 576.230 bitcoins In his possession (about 63.8 billion dollars), more than 2.5% of all those in circulation. An absolute “whale” of this segment. The ETF work. The approval of the funds quoted in the stock market (ETF) based on Bitcoin has certainly changed the panorama in the United States. These mechanisms open the door for many more investors to enter this financial segment now that it is more “standard”. Analysts such as Jeff Mei, from the BTSE sale market, indicated that growth “will probably continue, especially as more companies go to public markets and ETFs.” JP Morgan will allow Bitcoin to buy. If there has been a denial of Bitcoin, that has been Jamie Dimon. The JPMorgan CEO has renegated for years and other cryptocurrencies, but this week announced that it would allow its customers to buy Bitcoin to the clients of the entity. Of course, he did it by reiterating his skepticism about these assets. In Spain the same is happening. Traditional banking was also reluctant to offer this type of investment, but little by little the entities are offering this possibility. The BBVA has been the last great exampleand the same goes for CaixaBank, which allows it although not proactively. And this may lead to another momenty moment. This striking growth of Bitcoin could have a renewed interest on the part of investors who do not want to lose the train. The Fomo effect (Fear of Missing Out, the “fear of lost it”) is powerful in the financial field, and analysts raise new increases by that upward trend. The evolution of other cryptocurrencies with great market capitalization (billion dollars) has been similar to that of Bitcoin. Even greater, in fact. Data: Coinmarketcap. The rest of the market accompanies. Bitcoin’s evolution is solid in recent weeks, but so is the recovery of other cryptocurrencies that had also fallen remarkably and now have recovered part of the lost. The difference here is Bitcoin is marking historical maximums, but others such as ETH, XRP, Solana or Dogecoin are still far from the values ​​they reached in the past. ETH, for example, reached $ 4,900: it is currently 2,645. In Xataka | A British did not let his album search with Bitcoins in the trash for years: now he considers buying the landfill

The next milestone for the IAS that generates video was to make them with audio. Google has achieved it with I see 3

by

Great day for Google. We are in full I/O 2025, the most important software event for the American company. Interestingly, Android is being one of the least sounded names: this year the only thing that matters is AI. And, related to AI, Google has been working on a model that allows you to generate video through text. That model is I seeand in its new update it is able to generate these videos … with audio. I see 3. Google has three levels for its generative artificial intelligence of video. I see 1, I see 2 And the new I see 3. Yes, they are much easier names regarding what We are accustomed to us. I see 3 is the most powerful model, capable of generating 4K video with advanced film compression. In this Google I/or gains a key capacity: the generation of video with audio. Of environmental sounds to dialogues. Google goes with everything with I see 3. This model not only has a higher quality with respect to I see 2: it is the only one of Google capable of generating videos with audio. For example, if in the prompt we detail that we want an urban scene, it will be able to recreate some of the sounds corresponding to it (people walking, traffic, bustle, etc.). Google goes further, and promises to be able to create even dialogues between characters. This is one of the definitive barriers for text to text to become practically a science fiction function. With I see 3 it will be possible to do everything. IMPROVEMENTS IN SEE 2. Although I see 3 is the absolute protagonist, I see 2 is updated with new functions. Among them, it premieres new camera controls much more precise for Traveling and Zoom movements, outpainting options to expand the framing (to pass the vertical to horizontal or vice versa video), as well as the possibility of adding or deleting elements of the video. Flow arrives. Related to VI, Image and Gemini arrives Flow, the new Google tool to create cinematographic videos through AI. It is a new work environment to be able to give free rein to our creations with I see: a video editor with whom we can create both with image and I see. In addition to functioning as editor, it will have some social function. Through Flow we can access Flow TV, a feed in which we will see content, channels and creators who are generating videos with I see. Ahead of Open AI. Chatgpt creators surprised the world with Soraits artificial intelligence to generate video from a prompt. The problem? At least, at the time we write these lines, it is not able to generate video. In December 2024 Google already advanced Sora on the right Showing the capabilities of VER 2, which quadrupled the video output resolution with respect to the Open AI model. It also allowed to create more durable videos, and a “understanding” of spectacular physics, something that makes the difference when creating a natural video. Your rivals. Rival video generators such as Runway, Luma ai either Pika Labs They allow to add external audio, but in no case generate sound at the time of delivering the final video. Google has just been punched on the table with I see 3, maintaining the first career position and further complicating things to giants like Open AI. At the moment, these functions will be available for GEMINI Ultra subscribers in the United States through the Gemini and Flow app, as well as for companies through VERTEX AI.

China is turning its roofs into power plants. He has achieved in three months what in Europe costs three years

by

China has turned its roofs into solar engines, and record time. In just three months he has installed more photovoltaic on roof than Europe in years. Why is it important. China not only leads the energy transition, but is changing the usual rhythms to which it can occur. According to the latest report of Rystad Energyhas installed 36 GW of solar energy on roof only during the first quarter of 2025. That is more than some European countries reach after three years. The Energy Newspaper He summarizes it in a phrase: China does everything big. In figures: 60 GW Solares in total during the first three months of 2025. Of these, 36 GW (60%) in roofs. 130 GW of distributed lots are foreseen throughout 2025. The large facilities will even exceed that figure: 167 GW projected. The context. China is closing its XIV five -year plan. The New regulations of the National Energy Administration (NEA), in force since May, has created a counterreloj race to install before the regulatory cut. There is an emergency climate generated by … Self -consumption incentives. Network access restrictions. And the liberalization of green certificate trade. Those 36 GW are superior to what countries such as Spain or France can install for more than two years, counting all of solar facilities. The EU, together, installed 56 GW throughout 2023, and only one part was in roofs. In detail. The thrust has not been homogeneous. The provinces with greater normative flexibility, such as Jiangsu and Guangdong, have triggered the photovoltaic on roofs. Others, such as Interior Mongolia or Jilin, have restricted both the self -consumption that they have barely contributed. Behind the photo of the record there are certain strap: Some large commercial projects can no longer sell electricity to the network. It is increasing legal and contractual complexity. Promoters and investors face a more uncertain environment. And now what. China will continue to install at a speed far higher than we are accustomed to in the West. And the distributed model will grow, although foreseebly with certain adjustments. Europe lives much more slow display marked by a dense bureaucracy. If you keep the rhythm, China will end up making more facilities on roofs in a year than the sum of many countries in a decade.

This is how absolute domain has achieved

by

China dominates The lithium -ion battery market with an indisputable forcefulness. If we stick to electric cars the country led by Xi Jinping Fabrica 57% of batteries that these vehicles use. Catl and Byd are the biggest manufacturers of energy accumulators of the planet with A market share in 2023 34% and 16% respectively. And if we look at electronic devices equipped with batteries, your domain is equally forceful. The evolution that the lithium batteries industry has experienced in this Asian country is the result of a very ambitious strategy pergenerated by the Government a decade ago. In 2015 President Xi Jinping announced the plan “Made in China 2025”an initiative that pursued to take the country to a world leadership position in thirteen strategic technologies. In some of them, such as the production of medicines, large tractors, the manufacture of industrial machinery, the artificial intelligence (AI) or the robots does not lead, but has established itself in a competitive position. In batteries, however, he leads clearly. China’s success is the result of a well -measured strategy China has gone from having a share in the global battery market of 50% in 2015 to no less than 80% today. A decade ago his position was already good, but in 2025 his domain is absolute. Another fact that we are not overlooking is that the global production of lithium batteries in 2015 amounted to 42 GWh, while in 2024 this figure increased to 1,400 GWh. This growth is mainly explained thanks to the intervention of this Asian country. China is the largest electric car market on the planet, so its internal demand is able to sustain its battery industry alone In any case, the really interesting thing is to know what strategy has allowed the country of Xi Jinping to control such an important market in such a forceful way. As we can intuit, this success is the result of several factors. On the one hand China bet early on LFP batteries (Lithium Iron Phosphate), which use iron and lithium phosphate instead of cobalt and nickel, so they are cheaper and more safe, through subsidies of public vehicles. This happened in 2009. Years later, in 2016, the State subsidies prioritized the improvement of the benefits of these batteries, and therefore, They increased their competitiveness. This scenario allowed China to use patents derived from LFP technology in their free domestic market, which helped him gain experience and develop his production capacity. In fact, Catl, Byd and other Chinese manufacturers Batteries have put in recent years huge factories that have allowed them to develop the economy of scale producing a huge volume of batteries with an extremely competitive unit cost. In addition, China is the largest electric car market on the planet, so its internal demand is able to sustain its battery industry alone. However, beyond the support of the government and the ability with which China has managed to climb its production capacity, it is important that we do not overlook another factor: this country has access to raw materials in very advantageous conditions. The new lithium and iron mines under your control have allowed you to have great reservations of these chemical elements at a low price. In addition, its supply chain allows you to control, in addition to the extraction of raw materials, your refining and the assembly of all the components of the batteries, thus reducing the presence of intermediaries and the margins of external suppliers. From one thing we can be sure: at the current situation it is very unlikely that other countries will snatch market share to China in this industry.

A company has achieved the greatest advance of the toilet paper in 100 years. And he is shooting his sales

by

There are many sectors where the margin of improvement is very wide and others where it would be said that everything is almost invented. Let’s put the toilet paper market as an example. Since his invention more than a few century ago they have changed. Yes, a few years ago the arrival of A “Luxury” versionand has even been used for other purposes (the last putting it in the refrigerator), But, in essence, its virtues and defects have remained. And suddenly, something seems to change. Silent revolution. For decades, the toilet paper It has been one of the most unalterable products of modern home, a routine as natural as invisible. However, under that apparent immobility there is a fierce technological career: large corporations have been perfecting this essential object through small but sophisticated innovations for years. As explained a few days ago The Washington Postthe most recent is possibly the most important and comes from the hand of Charminwhich after five years of research has replaced the classic straight drilling line with a undulating, in what call Smooth teara solution that seeks to solve such a mundane problem as universal: The damn unequal tear of the leaves. The company ensures that this minutia has triggered a 5 % growth in its business and a “significant level of delight” among users, demonstrating that even the most banal gesture can be optimized to the further detail. Engineering applied to touch. Far from being frivolity, innovation in toilet paper is the result of highly complex development processes. Explained the post that in laboratories by Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clarkengineers and designers have tried hundreds of prototypes evaluating parameters such as resistance, texture and water response capacity and use in different positions of the portarrolos, even considering whether the user is left -handed or right -handed. The curves of the new pattern are not ornamental, but the result of millimeter calculations on strength, traction angle and adaptation to the industrial process, where the technical challenge consists in creating a non -linear rupture line that is effective for the consumer, but robust enough to survive to the vertiginous rhythm of production machines. To get an idea, engineering behind this humble product includes rotary cylinders, synchronized teeth and strategically positioned anvils, a precision gear that the consumer never sees. When Nokia produced toilet paper Role, culture and hygiene. Modern toilet paper is surprisingly invention recent In human history. Although the paper has existed for more than two millennia (thanks to The ancient China), its use for intimate purposes did not popularize until the end of the 19th century. Before that, what would be at hand: leaves, rags, cobs, even store catalogs. Was Joseph Gayetty who in 1857 introduced the concept of “medicated” paper, although it was ridiculed by the modesty of the time. The real milestone arrived in 1890, when LThe Scott brothers They popularized the perforated roll, contributing comfort and hygiene to the daily ritual. Since then, each advance (however it seems) has responded to a persistent search for balance between functionality, cleaning and experience (even sensory), gradually raising the daily product to a subtle form of applied design. Innovation without rupture. Barry Kudrowitzproduct design expert, defined these types of changes such as “Incremental innovation”: lowercase improvements that do not alter the essence of the object, but optimize their use within the frame that the user already knows and accepts. As opposed to more disruptive solutions such as bidé (which still generates cultural resistances), the wavy toilet paper fits perfectly in consumer habits and finds its force precisely in its familiarity. If you want also, we are facing a change that does not ask to relear anything, but it offers A tangible benefitand that is why it is precisely so effective. In a saturated market, where almost all consumers already use “their” toilet paper, the only real growth route is to convince them that their brand makes it a little better, a little softer, or a bit more intelligent. Improve the practical. In short, the history of New undulating edge Charmin is, in essence, a metaphor of modern obsession for technical perfection in everyday life. It is not about reinventing the toilet paper, but about turning it into a product worthy of scientific attentioncommercial and cultural. The art of finding complexity in the simple, of applying high precision technology to an object whose destination, ironically, is disappear instantly. In a world where almost everything essential is already invented, the idea is accurate: refine the ordinary, reinvent the minimum and remind us that even the most bland gesture (that pull a hung roll next to the sink and that it comes out “perfect”) can be the fruit of years of engineering, design and effort.

This Bitcoin millionaire paid Spacex to make the first space flight around the poles: he has achieved it

by

The Fram2 mission images They do not disappoint. For the first time in history, there are humans flying over the earth from space in polar orbit. And not because a space agency such as NASA or ESA has financed it. It’s about A private mission of Spacex For a cryptocurrency customer. The first manned flight in polar orbit. The mission Fram2 He took off during the early morning of March 31 from Cabo Cañaveral, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. The first stage of the rocket returned to the earth to land in a barge in the Atlantic Ocean. The second stage went south to place the Crew Dragon ship in a polar orbit. FRAM2 is the first manned space flight in history with a 90 degree inclination, which means that Its four crew They are the first people who fly over the north and south poles of the earth from space. A Bitcoin tycoon. None of the crew had gone to space before. The commander and patron of the mission is a Chinese millionaire of Maltese nationality called Chun Wang. Wang made fortune as founder of F2POOL, one of the biggest Bitcoin mining platforms that exist. Next to him travel Jannicke Mikkelsen, Norway Cinematographer, ship’s commander and responsible for documenting the mission. Rabea Rogge, expert in robotics and pilot of the mission. And Eric Philips, doctor and mission specialist, who brings his experience as a tanning explorer of the poles. 22 experiments. Even if they are financed by Wang, the four travelers will collaborate with Spacex and NASA with A series of experiments in flight. Among them, the first radiography taken in space and a mushroom culture in microgravity. In addition to a multitude of images of the polar caps taken through the dome, the Module with panoramic views of the Crew Dragon ship. But perhaps the most interesting happens on your return. When Americann, they will be in charge of opening the hatch and leaving the ship, without the help of Spacex rescue equipment, demonstrating this possibility for the first time. A new era. Chun Wang has become the Person number 722 In crossing the line of karm, the official “border” of the space. Characters such as the television presenter Jesús Callejaand will follow him shortly Katy Perry or Lauren SanchezJeff Bezos’s fiancee. Private spatial flights have come to stay and, when there is enough money at the table, the border between space tourism and space exploration is blurred.

Normally there is a certain bustle when something attracts more attention to the account, but what has happened with the generation of chatgpt images based on GPT-4O It does not make any meaning. The generative AI has achieved something that had not achieved: surprise the user on foot. And he has done so shows one of the greatest criticisms of this technology: the violation of copyright. Content ©. In recent hours, social networks have been filled with memes, images and avatars edited by ChatgPT for look like Studio Ghibli drawings. The images are really spectacular, to César what is from Caesar, but it is not convenient to forget that an AI knows how to generate an image of a horse because, among other things, it has been trained with millions and millions of images of horses. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Otherwise. If an AI like chatgpt-4o is capable of converting or generating an image With the style of a specific author It is because it knows what the concrete author’s style is like. That is, ChatGPT-4O must have been trained with related content, based or generated by the study founded by Hayao Miyazaki. And what about that content? Which is beautiful, emotional and close, but not free or public domain. It is contained in copyright, an issue that has brought to ChatgPT and head OpenAi since its inception. It is no secret. Of course not. Chatgpt was trained with a huge amount of data obtained from the Internet, websites, books, publications in social networks, academic articles, etc. Content that can be freely accessible, but not for that reason. An image that is “on the Internet” is not “on the Internet”, is housed on a server that can belong to a company and can have (and surely) copyright. That you can see and download it for free to your mobile to use the wallpaper does not mean that you can print it and sell it or illustrate the cover of your next novel with it. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Live artists”. Openai claims to have opted for a “conservative approach” for the images that use the work of other artists and have “added a denial that is activated when a user tries to generate an image with the style of a living artist.” Like Miyazaki, for example. Before the flood of images generated with the style of the Japanese cartoonist, a company spokesman has told Business Insider that Openai will prevent “generations with the style of individual individual artists”, but will allow “broader studies styles.” In other words, Hayao Miyazaki no style, Studio Ghibli style yes. Which has its ironic point, because in the year 2016after seeing a demo of an animation generated by AI, the teacher Miyazaki said “I would never want to incorporate this technology into my work. I firmly believe that it is an insult to life itself.” My neighbor Totoro | Image: Studio Ghibli The style. It should be noted that no one can prevent someone from doing works with the style of Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli. The style is not protected per se. Another story, and is where the quid of the matter is, is to use protected works to train an AI capable of replicating that style. That is the real problem. We could understand it as the fan art: You can make an illustration of Pikachu, print it and put it in your room, no problem. What you can’t do is sell that illustration. OpenAi’s headache. This access and use of copyright content for commercial purposes has earned Openai some other complaintbeing the most important that of New York Times. Getty also denounced Stable Diffusion for having used their images to train models, Anthropic was denounced By a group of authors for having used their books to train Claude and a goal, apparently, downloaded 81.7 TB of books With copyright to train your models. The conclusion is clear and we have addressed it on occasion: The price to be paid for having artificial intelligence is the looting of all the contents on the Internet, beyond that AI companies They support and hide in the Fair Use. With generative artificial intelligence it seems to have assumed that if it is on the Internet it is free, and the reality is that it is not always. All large AI companies have ignored Copyright laws And, for the moment, there is no consequences. The debate, however, is far from finishing and probably this is not the last time it is put on the table.
