International law was written with humans who decide in mind. AI just broke that chain and no one knows who answers now

Pete Hegseth’s threat to Dario Amodei has a subtext that goes far beyond the $200 million contract that the Pentagon can cancel: If the US military deploys AI-controlled autonomous weapons without the safeguards that Anthropic requiresyou will have removed the only firewall that has historically prevented an illegal order from being executed. Why is it importantand. The entire legal and ethical system of the US military rests on a principle that seems obvious but has important consequences: a soldier can and should disobey a manifestly illegal order. It is the mechanism that, in theory, prevents war crimes. A drone AI-controlled autonomous vehicle does not have that mechanism. You can’t refuse. You can’t hesitate. He cannot be tried in a court-martial. Between the lines. Amodei speaks of “autonomous weapons that fire without human intervention” to point out a legal vacuum. If an AI makes the decision to kill, who is responsible criminally? The programmer? The general who activated the system? The president who signed the order? International humanitarian law (including the Geneva Conventions) was written with human beings making decisions in mind. And now AI dissolves that chain of responsibility. The backdrop. The mass surveillance argument is also a bitter pill to swallow. The Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution protects citizens from warrantless searches and interventions. It works, among other reasons, because the State has never had the physical capacity to process everything that happens in public spaces. And in the same way, with AI that operational limit disappears: we move to millions of conversations recorded in real time, transcribed, classified and connected in just seconds. What was previously impossible due to lack of human resources becomes routine with a LLM. Constitutional protection until now has depended, in part, on the inefficiency of the State, its limitations. Yes, but. The Pentagon has an argument that cannot be ruled out: other democracies are also developing these capabilities, and China or Russia are not going to wait for the United States to resolve their ethical dilemmas. The practical question is whether having those unrestricted capabilities makes you safer or simply more dangerous to your own citizens. The big question. OpenAI and Google have accepted the Pentagon’s conditions“all legal uses” without specific exceptions, and xAI has just been cleared to operate on classified systems. Anthropic has been left alone in its position. And what is at stake now is not whether Claude survives as a military supplier or not, it is whether the AI ​​industry is going to set some limit on what it sells to the State, or whether that debate will be settled directly by Congress, the courts or, in the worst case, the first serious incident that no one could have foreseen. It seems like a matter of time. In Xataka | AI is already a battlefield: Anthropic has just accused DeepSeek and other Chinese companies of “distilling” Claude Featured image | Xataka

It is not clear how to make money when AI answers everything

These days there is a gesture that is repeated over and over again: open a chatbot or a generative search mode, write a question and wait for a direct, orderly and apparently definitive answer. There is no list of links and no need to compare ten pages to decide which one to trust. The promise of comfort is evident, but behind that everyday gesture a much deeper crack is opening up. For years, internet search has been one of the tech industry’s big money-making machines. If AI begins to answer everything for us, the question is no longer technical, but economic: who pays for that answer and who is left out. The first clear sign that something is moving came at a very specific time in the trading calendar. During the last Black Friday, the big language models started sending real traffic to top-tier online stores. According to Semrush data cited by The Wall Street Journaltwenty large retailers received an average of 183,000 daily visits from AI tools, a figure still small compared to Google, but almost eight times higher than the previous year. The volume is still marginal, but the trend no longer goes unnoticed by those who make a living by attracting and converting users. When the response replaces the click. Traditional search worked as a referral system: the better positioned a page was, the more traffic it received. The emergence of AI alters this scheme by offering closed answers that, in many cases, reduce or eliminate the intermediate step. This change does not guarantee greater quality or reliability; the models can make errors, mix sources or generate incorrect information. But it does transform the distribution of attention. If the user stops visiting thousands of sites and the interaction, in many cases, is concentrated on the platform that responds, the economic model that has sustained the web for years comes into tension. This shift in attention has triggered an immediate reaction on the business side. As AI-generated responses begin to influence which brands appear and which disappear from the user’s radar, a new concern arises: how to “be” within those responses. Hence the idea of ​​optimizing for search with AI, a still diffuse field in which traditional agencies, newly created startups coexist, such as Evertune either Profoundand platforms that attempt to offer metrics, tools, and promises of visibility into systems that, by definition, They work like black boxes. The emergence of AI search has not generated consensus, but rather a clash of interpretations. ORPart of the sector believes that the change is incremental and that good practices as always continue to be relevant, even if they are now expressed in another way. In front of them are those they openly talk about a change of era and they defend that visibility in generated responses requires a new discipline. Companies, brands and investors move between both extremes, with millions of dollars at stake. The signs that resist change. In a field that is not very standardized, many of the tactics that best fit generative search are not radically new. Authority, context and editorial clarity remain relevant factors, as does offering useful and verifiable information. Some companies, Semrush explainsthey are fine-tuning formats, summaries or structures to facilitate reading by models, but without breaking with their previous practices. When social context enters the equation. Compared to classic SEO, AI seems to rely more on signals external to the website. According to data analyzed by Profound, recency weighs especially heavily in this type of response. And, according to Semrush, user-generated content is also gaining relevance, from forums to comments on social platforms, which models use as raw material to understand products and brands. That introduces a variable that is difficult for brands to control: the real conversation. It is no longer just about optimizing pages, but about understanding that the collective story also influences what the AI ​​returns. For years an entire industry has been built around a very specific premise: appearing on Google to influence a purchasing decision. SEO specialists, digital marketing agencies, advertising tools and platforms have made a living by optimizing visibility, information and messages that took the user to a store. This system worked because the search acted as an intermediary and referred the potential buyer. If the AI ​​starts responding, recommending and prioritizing or suggesting which link to show to buy, the entire gear is reconfigured. The question is no longer just how to attract visitors, but how to make money when the intermediation changes hands.

a month later, the answers are not so obvious

Time passes so quickly that it’s hard to believe that the new iPhones have been in stores for more than a month. The truth is that Apple has made a move again, and it has done so with a model that renews materials and promises a more balanced experience. But after three very continuous generations, the question is once again the same: has anything really changed? in a new 24/7 from the Xataka YouTube channel We have tested it for 30 days to see if these changes are noticeable on a daily basis or if history repeats itself. For 30 days, Ana Boria has coexisted with the iPhone 17 Pro Max in all types of situations: recording, working, playing or taking photos outdoors. Their goal has been to see if the change in materials and the new design translate into a different experience or if, in the end, day-to-day life feels the same as before. On Xataka’s YouTube channel We already put the Freestyle Libre 2 glaucometer to the test for a week, and we also dedicated a month to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra now to the Smart Band 10. This 24/7 It follows that same approach of prolonged use to understand the product beyond the technical sheet. iPhone 17 Pro Max: a month of in-depth testing The change of materials is appreciated from the first moment. He iPhone 17 Pro Max It leaves titanium behind to adopt an aluminum chassis with more curved edges and a more pleasant touch finish. Apple justifies this step as a thermal improvement, and in tests a more uniform distribution of heat has been noted when the phone is working at its limit. The flip side is that aluminumsofter, shows marks easily, although for Ana the sensation of use compensates for that loss of hardness: “in that sense it seems to me that the change in design is much more successful and comfortable.” After a week of use, our colleague focused her attention on the screen and sound, two sections that this year arrive with small adjustments. The panel now reaches a maximum brightness of 3000 nits, improves contrast and adds a new anti-reflective coating. In practice, it ensures that the experience does not change too much: outdoors it looks perfect, but not better than before. So we wonder if the new anti-glare really makes a difference outside the laboratory. The new A19 Pro is responsible for making everything work very smoothly. Ana acknowledges that the jump in power is not as noticeable as one would expect: “In practice I cannot tell you that this increase in performance is noticeable.“What does change is the heat management. Thanks to the aluminum body and the vapor chamber, the heat is distributed evenly and localized overheating disappears. The result is a more stable phone, which withstands intense sessions without losing fluidity or reducing brightness. The iPhone 17 Pro Max cameras maintain the level, but the new 4x telephoto lens steals all the attention. Its more practical distance is valued, although it is admitted that the behavior is not always predictable: “it is that at no time do you know with what lens the photograph is being taken.” On the positive side, the 18 MP selfie allows for effortless reframing and the stabilizer “was good before, but now it’s a blast.” Is this really the step forward we were hoping for in mobile photography? After a month of testing, Ana sums it up with a phrase that makes the dilemma clear: “We have the best iPhone Pro that has ever existed, pero doesn’t reinvent the wheel“The interesting thing is in everything behind that conclusion: the nuances, the surprises and the comparisons that can only be understood by seeing it in action. All that, and the final verdict, They are in the video on Xataka’s YouTube channel.
