The Ukrainian army that is not afraid of Russia. They arrive as outdated machines and become robots for war

by

The year 2025 has been a radical change in the Ukraine War. We had seen drones with shotguns of double cannonrobots Lanzaluelaunmanned vessels With missilesairplanes With shotguns or even devices with kilometer cables of optical fiber Looking for its goal through algorithms. However, in recent months a change in trend has been accelerated. Because soldiers are no longer recruited, they are recruited directly robots. Even if they are antiques. Improvising on the front line. It Forbes counted. In an abandoned Soviet warehouse in Donetsk, Ukrainian soldiers and engineers transform old vehicles into non -manned combat systems, the called UGV. Under the command of Oleksandr, head of the Robotic Unit of the Antares Battalion, the workshops work thanks to raffles, donations and volunteer networks that Finish pieces and spare parts. Robots arrive with analog communications vulnerable to Russian electronic war and are completely comforted: new chassis, digital systems, StarlinkLte or encrypted links. Each conversion costs Between 750 and 1,000 dollarswithout counting satellite equipment, and requires maintenance after each mission. Once ready, the UGV are mostly destined for tasks logistics and evacuationtransporting ammunition, food or injured under enemy fire, although some are equipped with turretsmortars or electronic war modules. The speed remains limited and unstable connectivity, which forces them to use them mainly at night or in discretion conditions to avoid Russian kamikaze drones. Robots against the death zone. The proliferation of drones in Ukraine has extended The Russian “Kill” More than 15 kilometers behind the front line, causing entering or leaving positions to be one of the most lethal maneuvers. In fact, up to a 80% of the casualties Russians are already attributed to unmanned systems, and losses of Ukrainian logistics vehicles have forced multiply the use of UGVS for supplies and evacuations. The need is so high that in December 2024 the first compound Ukrainian assault was documented entirely by robotsand in July 2025 the 3rd Assault Brigade achieved an operation with Russian surrender Without own casualties. However, the UGV follow being vulnerable: day they are easy prey of FPV drones, and any signal failure can leave a wounded in the open field. Given this, some units are used as suicidal vehicles, launched against trenches, bridges or mined fields to detonate loads and open path. Another UGV development An accelerated race. Both kyiv and Moscow They experience With fleets of terrestrial robots, aware that the future of combat will depend on the mass integration of autonomous systems. Ukraine aspires to deploy 15,000 UGV By the end of 2025, supported by The Brave1 programwhile Russia shows prototypes With thermobáric launchers in their state media. The analysts They point That kyiv maintains advantage thanks to a decentralized network of start-ups and creative brigades, while Russia still depends on fragmented and volunteer efforts. At the same time, other global actors Like China They observe carefully the Ukrainian innovations to incorporate them into their own war doctrines. The test terrain in Donbás is accelerating a cycle of military innovation that in peace times would have been. Of logistics to direct fire. Ukrainian brigades already work for prototypes that They go further of the simple delivery of supplies: anti -aircraft turrets, UGVs kamikaze with Starlink to attack tanks, and modular platforms that can be adapted according to the mission. The main challenge is to reduce costs and simplify the operation to massify its deployment. The 28th mechanized brigade even presented a UGV equipped with A manpads Iglacapable of folding drones or low -level helicopters keeping operators covered. The vision is clear: an army in which the machines do the most dangerous work and the soldiers are preserved for control and supervision missions. The role of civil innovation. The rapid evolution of this robotic war It would not be possible without the direct intervention of Civil engineers and entrepreneurswhich have created a unique ecosystem of warlike innovation. Organizations as dignitas Ukraine They drive the Victory Robots programThey train soldiers in the management of UGVs and spread best practices among brigades. These initiatives They seek to build a “technological shield” that reduces human casualties and accelerates the adoption of autonomous systems. The next phase, they anticipate, will be the integration of artificial intelligence into terrestrial robots, multiplying their autonomy and efficiency in the battlefield. A robotic army. The Ukrainian bet for the UGV is not conjunctural, but part of a long -term strategy to compensate for demographic inferiority against Russia. If they manage to industrialize their production and stabilize the supply chain, these robots could become In spine From a hybrid army in which humans and machines fight side by side. Thus, the perspective of a future where entire brigades are accompanied by swarms of aerial drones and autonomous land vehicles no longer belong to science fiction, but to everyday reality of the Ukrainian front. For kyiv, robotics is more than a tool: it is the key to resist for years in a wear war and, perhaps, to define what the wars of the 21st century will be.

Neura will be in charge, it will arrive in 2026 and is already priced

by

During these days of Ifa in Berlin we have encountered the latest in humanoid robots. In this case, the proposal of the German Neura Robotics stands out: 4ne1his humanoid robot designed for the domestic public. With 180 centimeters high, 80 kilos of weight and a price of about 60,000 euros, this machine aims to reach homes in 2026 with the ambition to become the first truly useful cognitive robot for day -to -day basis. What makes 4ne1 special. Throughout the last years we have seen robots do practically everything. However, we have also seen an increasingly tangible approach to the domestic field. Tesla wants to get ahead With optimus And from Europe, Neura Robotics, is another of the closest companies to achieve this achievement. In the case of 4ne1, which is currently in its third generation, Neura has equipped it with 55 degrees of freedom of movementtact -sensitive artificial skin, 360 degree vision and ability to lift up to 100 kilos depending on the circumstances. The company promises That can iron, download the dishwasher, transport heavy objects and adapt to changing environments without specific programming. The brain behind the machine. 4ne1 integrates advanced artificial intelligence based on NVIDIA GR00T ModelJetson processors for local computing and its own operating system called Neuron OS. His “omnisensors” patented along with seven cameras allows him to distinguish between people and objects, recognize individuals and adapt their behavior to work directly with humans. During the IFA we have seen it in action, and although at first glance it seems little agile when performing domestic tasks, such as doing the casting, its versatility is its great trick to enter this market. Further beyond the environment domestic. Although the domestic approach is clear, 4NE1 is also designed for industrial and services environments. In fact, Hyundai showed a while ago Your construction capabilities. It has a 24 -hour autonomy that achieves it thanks to a smart battery system. It also reaches a maximum speed of 5 km/h. An ecosystem for all your robots. The project key is in Neuraversean open platform that works as an application store for robots. In this ecosystem, robots can share learning experiences, since what one learns, can all learn it simultaneously. Neura has established alliances with Vodafone for 5G, SAP and NVIDIA connectivity to enhance this smart network. Neura’s ambition in Europe. The company’s objective is to deliver five million units before 2030, positioning the European response to Tesla optimus. David Reger, CEO of the company, already assured A while ago “we are the first company to bring cognitive humanoid robots to the mass market.” “Neura is doing for robotics what the iPhone did for smartphones. We do it responsible, with a team in which our partners from around the world can trust,” he continued. It will not be cheap. The commercial launch planned for 2026 will be the fire test to determine if the domestic market is really prepared to integrate humanoid robots of 60,000 euros. Success will depend on a wide range of factors, and not only on the technical abilities of the robot. Its ease of use and the operation of that applications ecosystem will also be crucial to determine its adoption. We will have to wait to know if it ends up convincing. In Xataka | China has gathered more than 150 humanoid robots in Shanghai. Your message is clear: this is no longer about ideas, it goes from industry

The suicide of a teenager unleashed a crisis in Openai. We already have the first measures that will arrive in Chatgpt

by

The chatbots of AIs are in the spotlight for their possible risks on mental health, especially chatgpt. We recently deepened this problem following the accusations that Chatgpt was the culprit of causing delusions and even the suicide of a teenager In the United States. Although we already saw that reality is much more complex that a simple “the fault is AI”, OpenAi has responded to the wave of criticism and already has A package of measures that will integrate into chatgpt To avoid more similar cases. OpenAI’s plan. In response to the controversy after the case of Adam Raine, Openai has detailed the measures that will reach Chatgpt, which will focus on facilitating access to emergency services, contacting trustworthy people and reinforcing protection measures focused on adolescents. The company puts a period of 120 days to integrate these novelties, although it warns that some will take a little more than others. Reasoning models. GPT-5 Choose the best model automatically depending on the needs. One of the solutions proposed by Openai for conversations that take a worrying address is to automatically direct them to their reasoning model, regardless of the user selected. Parental control. It will arrive next month and the minimum age to use will be 13 years. Parents can link their children’s account to their own and can deactivate functions such as chat memory and history. In addition, they will receive a notification if it detects that their son “is in a moment of acute anguish.” Collaboration with experts. OpenAI ensures that all these improvements will be implemented under the supervision of mental health experts. For some time they have an artificial welfare and intelligence experts that has been expanded with experts in addictions, eating disorders and adolescent health. The demand. It is not the first case in which Chatgpt is placed as responsible for a mental health crisis, but one of the most popular. Adam Raine’s parents They sued Openai after their son’s suicideclaiming that Chatgpt validated his “most harmful and self -descetive thoughts.” In some of his conversations he came to discuss details of how to make the knot in the rope with which he planned to commit suicide. Weak safeguards. In his Fake Friend reportthe ‘Center for the Fight against Digital Hate’ has already verified that the safeguards of chatbots are very fragile and the case of Adam Raine corroborates it. Chatgpt detected several times that there was a risk of self -injuries and insisted to call the suicide prevention line, Adam managed to dodge these messages simply telling him that he was looking for information for a fiction story. The new parental control sounds like the first stronger measure against this problem. Image | Kaboomps, via Pexels In Xataka | In 2011 someone published in Reddit “A858”.

direct messages arrive at the application

by

Spotify has recently shown Your new messaging functionwhich will be directly integrated into the application and allow users to exchange music recommendations, podcasts and audiobooks without leaving it. The function, called ‘Messages’, has begun to deploy this week in selected markets for users that are over 16 years. In addition there will be no distinction between the plan chosen, so they can use it both users of the free plan and the premium. How it works. Users can now send messages by touching the sharing icon while listening to content in the “reproducing now” view and selecting a friend from their list. It is only possible to initiate conversations with people with whom it has already been previously interacted through functions such as Jams, Mergers, collaborative lists or that they share a family plan or Spotify duo. Once the application is sent, the recipient must approve it to begin the conversation. Image: Spotify Why is it relevant. For years, users have shared Spotify links through WhatsApp, Instagram, Tiktok and other platforms. Now the company seeks to centralize these interactions within its own application, creating a history of shared content that users can easily consult. As Explain The company, the function is “designed to complement these integrations, not replace them.” Characteristics and limitations. The conversations are one by one, admit text and reactions with emojis, and all the shared content is stored in an accessible input tray from the profile photo. The company ensures that messages are protected with a “standard industry encryption” and has proactive detection systems for harmful or illegal content. Users can block accounts, reject message requests or completely deactivate the function from privacy settings. Image: Spotify Another step to become a social app. This function is part of a broader Spotify strategy to add social elements to its platform. In recent months, the company has introduced comments in Podcasts and redesigned its feed with a more visual approach. Last month, Gustav Söderström, product director and technology at Spotify, already advancement that the mobile experience would be “much more interactive.” Over the last years we have seen the application become a kind of Frankenstein monster Between musical app, videos, podcasts and now this social approach that seeks to monopolize the time users spent in it. And now what. Messages will initially be launched in Latin America and will expand in the coming weeks to the United States, Canada, Brazil, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We will have to wait to know what the reaction of this new function will be by users and how will it be complemented with the use we usually give to the application.

If Europe drums arrive, it will respond with a duplicate nuclear force

by

At the end of the 1950s, France, in the figure of Charles de Gaulle, promoted the idea that the nation could maintain some strategic dependence by launching the Nuclear deterrence policy Sovereign, a kind of nuclear umbrella arguing that, although the United States was an ally, its interests could Do not match Always with those of Europe. Half a century later, that idea sounds strongly in the old continent with an unpublished Anglo-French alliance. An unprecedented agreement. United Kingdom and France, the only two sovereign nuclear powers of Western Europe, have first announced the decision to coordinate the Use of its atomic arsenals in response to any extreme threat that endangers the safety of the continent. He agreementpresented by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French president Emmanuel Macron during a state visit to London, brand A significant turn In strategic cooperation between the two countries, especially in the face of the renewed fear of Russia’s aggressiveness and uncertainty about American commitment to European collective defense under Trump’s leadership. Asterisk. Very important; although the British and French arsenals will continue to be technically independentnow they can be used jointly in case of conflict, an unequivocal signal for both allies and adversaries that any serious aggression against one of the two will be answered by both. Differences overcome by a threat. The pact represents a symbolic overcoming of traditional differences between London and Paris in nuclear doctrine. United Kingdom has integrated its arsenal in the nuclear planning structure of NATO And it depends technically on missiles supplied by the United States, although it operates autonomously. France, on the contrary, has always defended with zeal Total sovereignty About his deterrence, refusing to participate in the NATO nuclear cast system, and maintaining An independent doctrine whose strategic scope (“vital interests with European dimension”) has been deliberately ambiguous. The decision to act coordination does not involve merging capabilities, but synchronizing potential responses and generating a unified front against possible aggressions, especially in a scenario of weakness in transatlantic commitment. Storm Shadow Complement and evolution. Both countries possess Comparatively small arsenals In relation to the great nuclear powers. United Kingdom bases its deterrence In Trident missiles launched from submarines, but has announced plans to incorporate an air capacity by F-35a aircraft of American origin capable of carrying nuclear weapons. France, on the other hand, maintains a completely national force, which combines maritime and aerial vectors. In addition, he works In the ASN4Ga next-generation hypersonic air-earth missile with nuclear capacity (which United Kingdom Study adopt), which would mean having for the first time in decades of an air nuclear system independent of American control. The new coordination will allow, among other options, synchronize underwater patrols or stepped maintenance periods to ensure a continuous presence in the sea. Experts such as Camille Grand and Lawrence Freedman highlighted the transcendence of the ad, since France He had never admitted Publicly no type of nuclear cooperation of this type, which implies an important doctrinal change. TRIDS DIAGRAM The American umbrella. He underlined The New York Times That the decision to move towards an incipient form of coordinated nuclear deterrence responds, in addition to the Russian threat, to the Strategic emptiness that has left Washington’s ambiguous attitude towards European defense. The traditional dependence of the NATO nuclear shield, under American leadership, has It was questioned for Trump’s skepticism regarding the usefulness of protecting the allies of the continent. In this context, Franco-British tandem assumes the responsibility of projecting a credible European alternativealigning their respective defensive doctrines and sending a clear message to Moscow about the consequences of continuing his offensive in Ukraine. The pact is articulated within a greater strategy to revitalize the call “Coalition of the willing”an informal alliance of European countries that seek to sustain the Ukrainian war effort before the American replication. Challenges: Ukraine and coalition. Plus: The agreement comes in a moment especially delicate In the Ukraine conflict, where the promise of a high fire driven by Washington has not been completed and Western military aid, especially from the United States, is He has slowed down. Starmer and Macron, which lead the hard core of the Pro-Ukrainian coalition, seek to recover the impulse through A virtual conference with other allied leaders from a military base on the outskirts of London. However, some countries continue showing reluctance To send material means such as combat airplanes, which underlines the difficulties in maintaining cohesion in a fragmented coalition for divergent interests and national agendas. The joint nuclear initiative is thus enrolled in a broader logic of diplomatic pressure to Hold the commitment European in the face of transatlantic umbrella. Friends after Brexit. The nuclear pact, in addition, symbolizes a significant thaw in the relationships between London and Paris, deteriorated after the referendum Brexit. Starmer and Macron have presented this relaunch of links as a stage of pragmatic understanding, cemented not only in collective safety, but also in thorny areas such as migration. Both governments negotiate A new agreement To stop migrants’ crosses in small boats from the coast of northern France, a growing problem that has generated bilateral tensions. The objective is to reduce flows without giving up humanitarian obligations, in the midst of growing political pressure by populist parties as reform uk. The Lancaster Pact. The Franco-British alliance also extends to the joint development of new conventional capacities. Within the framework of the so -called “Lancaster House 2.0”both powers will sign an update of the Defense Treaty signed in 2010. This new agreement provides for the creation of a new generation of long -range missiles that will replace the Successful Storm Shadow/Scalpused by Ukraine, in addition to an extension of the joint expeditionary force. Likewise, development is contemplated of Air-Aire missiles latest generation, microwave weapons to interfere with drones and missiles, electronic war systems and intensive artificial intelligence use To coordinate attacks with millimeter precision. These initiatives reinforce the projection capacity of both countries and consolidate their role as central safety guarantors in Europe, at a time … Read more

In order for 125 airplanes and 14 bombs to arrive in Iran, the US used one of the oldest tactics of war: perfidy

by

The baptized as Hammer operationhe greater furtive attack From the United States against several of Iran’s critical facilities, it was based on a highly sophisticated tactical architecture, one where, above any other trick, the key was the total surprise. To do this, the United States began with one of the most tactics old and effective of war. It all started 48 hours before the offensive, when Trump It gave two weeks To “avoid” the attack. Perfidy. Those two weeks They never existed in the head of the United States, and Israel knew and few more actors. In fact, most European allies were trying to Find a dialogue A few hours before knowing the operation that was underway. From the diplomatic and ethical point of view, Washington was carrying out a form of political perfidysince Iran was participating in conversations that the United States used for the secret offensive. The maneuver also followed a strategy of classical military deception, a series of lures and public messages that, as we will see, avoided any suspicion while secretly prepared one of the most brutal offensives that are remembered in the history of modern wars. The hammer operation. The aerial offensive launched by the United States against the main nuclear sites of Iran represents not only the greatest operational use in the history of the BB-2 Spirit bomberbut also a unprecedented sample of tactical coordination, strategic deception and technological capacity accumulated throughout years of preparation. The attack included use for the first time in combat of the GBU-57/B antibunker pump Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), of 13,600 kilograms, specifically designed to destroy deeply buried and protected facilities Like Fordow. In total, 14 of these bombs were thrown on Fordow and Natanz, while more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles They hit In Isfahánthrown from a submarine Ohio class nuclear positioned in the area of ​​operations of the US central command. The art of deception. It all started on Saturday morning, when flight observers They detected several bombers furtive B-2 Spirit taking off from the Whiteman Air Base, in Misuri, and heading Towards the Pacificwhich seemed to indicate a display towards Guam or missions related to Asia. However, this movement was a decoy: the true bombers in charge of the attack departed shortly after In the opposite directioneast, in mode completely stealthycrossing huge distances without being detected until you reach the Iranian airspace. Fordow after air attacks, seen in a satellite view of the underground complex, on June 22, 2025 The surprise. As we said, the key to operational success was the Deliberate deception: both the visible deployment towards the Pacific and Trump’s statements in the previous days, where he claimed that he would take up to two weeks to evaluate a possible intervention, created the false perception that there was still diplomatic margin. In fact, on Saturday morning, senior officials indicated that it had not been issued No order of attack, reinforcing that illusion. Then, on the afternoon of that same day, from his private club in New Jersey, Trump gave the final order. According to A senior official From the administration, the objective was precisely “to create a situation in which no one would expect.” A graph with details about the hammer operation that the Pentagon published in the last informative session The B2. The main actors were those seven bombers that left in stealth to the east from Misuri. Throughout a 18 -hour flight, with multiple repayings in the air, a profile of minimum communication. Synchronization with escorts, fourth and fifth generation fighters, intelligence aircraft, electronic warfare and air replacement It was millimeter: The fighters released preventive fire to neutralize Iranian air defense threats before the bombers cross the enemy airspace, without detecting hostile activity. The full air package exceeded 125 aircraftincluding platforms such as F-35, F-22, EA-18G Growler and possibly not revealed active. A view of the Iranian nuclear installation in Isfahán on June 22, 2025, after the attacks of the hammer operation Objectives achieved. Between 6:40 and 7:05 pm Washington time (2:10 to 2:35 am in Iran), all nuclear objectives FThey were shocked. The bombings on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahán used 75 precision weapons guided and achieved what the Pentagon described as “severe destruction” of infrastructure. The first satellite images Disseminated by Maxar Technologies showed craters of more than five meters, layers of bluish ash and tunnel entries blocked by landslides. Although Iran did not fire a single antialea defense or deployed fighters, the blow was deep and difficult to reverse in the short term, particularly in Fordow, buried under a mountain and considered so far impenetrable. Hidden cooperation. As we indicated, if someone knew what the United States had in hand, It was Israel. Before the attack, the United States shared with Israel a Systems list of air defense that wanted to neutralize, and the previous Israeli campaign facilitated the opening of the air corridor for the B-2. Coordination included the shared use of intelligence and operational synchronization (in that sense, The F-35 Israeliswith their ability to collect data, they played a key role in the collection of information on Iranian defenses). During the previous weeks, they were made Large -scale exercises that simulated similar missions, and They invested years in the development of technical capacities to integrate armament, sensors, furtive platforms and unified command in a single operating flow. Operation closed? It is one of the great unknowns. Despite the magnitude of the attack, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that the operation does not mark the start of an open campaign, but A punctual action With a clear objective: neutralize Iranian nuclear capacity. Even so, he acknowledged that US forces remain on maximum alert to possible reprisals. In His words“This was not an attempt to change regime; it was a precise operation to defend our national interests and those of our allies.” For now, Iran has limited its responses to new attacks on Israel, but senior Iranian officials already They have declared your right to respond directly against … Read more

It is possible that your gmail is destroying the emails that arrive and do not know. The fault is for forgotten adjustment

by

Dozens of readers of The country They complained that some of the Newsletters received contained “rude errata”. Meaningless phrases, words that seemed terribly chosen … When doing the checks, the technical team of The country realized that Newsletters They did not contain those errors, the writing was adequate. But in the receptor mailbox they were modified. Why is it important. The ruling was not in the newspaper, but in Gmail. Those who protested had activated the automatic translator into Spanish, so that any mail received was seen in this language. The problem is that this translator acts even in mails that are already in Spanish, turning words when detecting English where there was no. Where he put “secret military plans”, appeared “Airplanes Secret military “. Where he put “Trump uses the power of the State to blackmail institutions”, appeared “Trump uses the power of the State to sing to institutions “. The context. Gmail is The most used mail service in the world, and many users have activated their translator “always translate automatically.” This function, as we have seen, operates even about texts already written in your language. Between the lines. What began as a sum of readers complaints has exposed a much greater problem: platforms can alter content without anyone knowing, at least for a while. The issuer sends a message, the receiver reads another, and none suspects that there is a tool in the background by modifying words. The threat. If Gmail can change “siege” by “seminar”, another of the examples cited by the newspaper, can also introduce intentional biases. Or forced. For example, a government order can force automatically replace “Gulf of Mexico” by “Gulfo de América” In all emails. Users would read it and normalize without knowing that the content has been manipulated. Yes, but. This automatic customization is born from a good idea, is born from helping. The problem comes when the help becomes invasive, is not entirely well designed (no anglicisms in Spanish from homonymous words between languages) and is opaque. Nothing made those affected think that the fault came from there. It does not seem fair to trust years of use of a tool to which at the time the user activated it or granted certain permits if nothing that happens later acts as a subtle reminder. In the foreground. For the first time, readers were not reading what journalists had written. And neither the first nor the second were aware of it. It is the symptom of an era where sometimes machines make decisions about the information we consume without transparency or real control.

Heat ends, but storms arrive

by

The heat is being the undisputed protagonist of this week at the weather. However The warm episode He has his days (or his hours) counted in much of the Peninsula: as of today the extreme heat will live with rains and storms: some communities will have to alert for very different phenomena. Variopintos phenomena. Meteorologists foresee that the warm episode that affects the peninsula will fade in the next few days and that at the beginning of next week the instability will be the dominant tonic. The transition will not be simple: during the next few days some areas will see the arrival of rainfall and storms while others Taguada vs. dorsal. Let’s put some context to understand what is happening at the atmospheric level. A few days ago we saw an arrival of an Atlantic anticyclone and an associated dorsal. The dorsal are areas of high pressures that extend from a high pressures center lengthening the scope of anticyclonic time. The stability associated with high pressures, along with other factorscontributed to a high insolation that warmed the air of the peninsula until it brought us to the current situation. However meteorologists They announce now that a trough display in the next few days the dorsal. That is, from a situation we move on to the opposite, with a region of low pressures associated with a storm changing the meteorological panorama. A heat pause. And how this translates: then that instability will take possession of peninsular meteorology. Some areas will begin to see storms today, but it will be from Sunday, with the arrival of the dorsal, which these are generalized. Heat warnings and storm warnings. The peculiar transition between two weeks marked by opposite phenomena will leave A singular notice map of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet), a map in which yellow and orange warnings coexist due to maximum and storm temperatures (and also yellow notices for rains). In this sense, today it will be the most unique: 14 autonomous communities (all peninsular except Murcia) will see active notices throughout the day. Of these highlight orange notices due to temperatures of up to 40º Celsius in the Sevillian countryside; and orange warnings for storms inside the Cantabrian cornice, from the Asturian southwestern to the inner Bizkaia. In unknown terrain. Spring is a transit station where changes in the atmospheric situation are not entirely strange. However, we can talk about an anomalous season in terms of meteorology: from a drought we spend some of the months with more rainfall than we have record. Now we return to one more panorama in the tonic of recent years: with a summer that is advanced leaving us extreme heat during the last week of May. To know what will happen during the real summer we will still have to wait a few weeks. In Xataka | The reservoirs are almost 22% above the average of the last decade.

All AI companies promise that the AGI will arrive very soon. The problem is that chatgpt is not the way

by

In December 2022 chatgpt He left us speechless to all. However, two and a half years later we have a problem: it does not seem that after all this time I can go to much more. It has improved, yes, but in the meantime we are moving away from the great promise of AI, which is none other than going beyond and that someone manages to reach what is known as the General Artificial Intelligence. And it seems clear that this path, that of Chatgpt, is not the good to get it. Promises, promises. A few months ago Sam Altman called the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and He said that the AGI would arrive before it ended its mandate. It is a message that has been repeating for months, although then spoke of “A few thousand days“Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, believes that It could arrive beforein 2026. Elon Musk – who promised that he would have a totally autonomous Tesla in 2016 – agreed and pointed at 2026 as the year we will have an AGI. All are hypeptimists for a simple reason. Money. Like Altman, all who defend the rise and development of AI and the imminent arrival of the AGI do so to raise more and more money for their companies. We know that developing, training and running models of ia costs true fortunes, but the progress in this field seems to be slowing down. Doubts with climbing. There are many who believe that the current strategy of climbing the models – give more GPUS and get more data to train them – no longer compensates as much as before. The latest versions of the great foundational models exceed their predecessors, yes, but not in a striking way. It’s as if we had touched the roof. This is not the way. And for months the voices of experts have begun to be heard making it clear that other solutions must be sought. Nick Frosst, a student at Geoffrey Hinton and founder of Cohere, is clear that current technology is not enough to reach an AGI. What the generative AI does is “predict the next most likely word”, but that is very different from the way humans think. Lecun believes that we will take a long time to achieve an AGI. Personalities respected in the world of AI such as Yann Lecun, head of the division of AI in the finish line, are clear. Models as chatgpt They will not be able to match human intelligence. Also ensures that achieving a human level AI It will take a long time: Nothing “a few thousand days” as Altman said. And Sutskever coincides. This openai co -founder, is also skeptical with the potential of the generative AI, which according to him It is barely improving. His new startup, Safe Superintelligence, aims to create a superintelligence with “nuclear” securityalthough at the moment there have been no details about the strategy they are following to achieve it. It is not of course the one that followed when it helped create chatgpt. A recent survey to an academic association of experts in this field They thought the same: Three quarters of those who responded do not believe that current methods serve to end up developing an AGI. The generative AI is not a miracle. As they point out In The New York Timeswhat chatbots like chatgpt or other developments in this field is to do one thing very well, “but they are not necessarily better than humans in others.” According to him there is a certain temptation to think of these chatbots as something magical, but “these systems are not a miracle. They are very impressive gadgets.” Chatgpt does not challenge what he knows. Thomas Wolf, co -founder and Chief Science officer of Hugging Face, is clear that the generative AI is very good, but is far from taking us to an AGI. What we have, he explained a few weeks ago, is like “a country full of people who tell us yes to everything.” Chatgpt does not challenge us, but he does not challenge what he knows either. “We need a system that is able to ask yourself things that nobody had thought Or that nobody had dared to ask, “he said. Many challenges ahead. Among the differences between AI and human intelligence is that the latter is linked to the physical world: part of our intelligence is to know when to turn the toast, for example. There are advances in robotics and sensors that can help solve such problems, but this is a good example of how there are still many challenges to overcome to achieve that general artificial intelligence that is supposed to match (or overcome) to human intelligence in all disciplines. And the Ias that reason? The generative AI companies have found a small respite with the modes of reasoning of their chatbots. Here we find a singular advance that allows AI to respond more precisely and detailed thanks to “thinking” their answers and following a process of “reasoning” that tries to imitate the human. However, this does not seem to take us to an AGI, and again these modes of reasoning are rather a way to try that the answers are something better and do not see “hallucinations” by the chatbots. In spite of everything, Chatgpt and its rivals continue to make mistakes in this and the rest of the ways. Odds. On the horizon some possibilities appear. The current approach based on neural networks accompanies the approach of symbolic systems (based on rules) that can help provide elements such as deductive reasoning or abstract knowledge management to current models. It also works on training of models with physically precise virtual environments and in the so -called systems of meta-learningwhich allow to train new neural networks quickly and with a limited data set. But companies need products to sell us. These approaches to the development of new research roads are there, but the problem … Read more

Aemet is clear that the end of May will not be “normal.” And the question is whether summer will arrive at some point

by

We were going to suffer the first summer bars and, although the calima has punctured expectations a bitthe truth is that heat and dryness They have been the great protagonists of the meteorology of most of the country. And I say most because in the northwest the storms are already being noticed: the next few hours, a new Dana will cross the peninsula leaving showers, storms and heavy rains throughout the country. It’s just the beginning. Things are going to change and we have been listening to it weeks; But the truth is that, for now, The situation remains the same. A meteorological combo. Because yes, the first thing will be a Dana that will sweep us from the Peninsular North and will leave Tuesday night towards France; But, then (between Thursday and Friday) a trough will affect the Mediterranean area. And, as I say, Everything seems to point to that it takes and daca It is not the end of spring During the next few days, days full of strong storms with more stable days will be happening. What is clear is that, we want or not, It will not be the normal situation For the last half of May. The best example will be the weekend. Because once the trough, stability will take over the country. The question asked everyone (meteorologists included) is whether it is the definitive one. Luckily, medium/long -term trends are here. And, for the first time in a long time, they begin to Draw a “return to normal”. European models point out that, although most of the Peninsula will receive average rainfall (and the north, a little more than normal), the southeast of the country must prepare to forget what has happened during this spring: the driest climate is here again. In fact, that is the second half of May. If we look at the first half of June, that climate “slightly dry than normal” will be present throughout the southern half, the Mediterranean coast, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The northwest quadrant will have a rainfall regime “within normal.” Something similar We will see with temperatures: During these two weeks, the fresco will endure in some zoans of the interior, but progressively all of Spain will slide towards a warmer situation than normal. Not too much, it is true: but enough to break the very long streak of strange patterns that began in March this year. Will summer start? It is a great question. The problem is that we do not know.
