“It is unlikely that a five-year-old child today will ever need to work”

by

The impact of AI on the labor market will be so important that some already predict that humanity will not be obliged to work in the immediate future. According to Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and one of the main investors in OpenAi, shared an important prediction about the future of human work with AI: “It is highly unlikely that a child who is five years old today will ever have to look for a job,” said the veteran investor. in an interview for Fortune. It is not the plot of a science fiction novel: it is the concrete prediction of one of the most influential investors in Silicon Valley. 80% of jobs, in the hands of AI. In one podcast interview Titans and Disruptors of Industry of Fortune. The veteran technology entrepreneur and Silicon investor predicted that, around 2030, artificial intelligence will be able to autonomously perform 80% of all jobs. He is not only talking about routine or manual jobs, Khosla includes doctors, radiologists, accountants, chip designers and salespeople on that list. Professions that until recently were considered safe havens from automation. “There will be an interim period where each professional will have four AI agents that they will train to improve themselves, and I think that initial model of AI implementation will consist of AI assistants who will work for someone who is either a senior accountant or a doctor, or a chip designer,” Khosla predicted. Work at zero cost. According to the OpenAI investor, this automation and the greater role in the labor market of the AI will lead to an economy of abundance of goods and services, carrying the price of labor to practically zero. The investor put a piece of information on the table that illustrates the magnitude of the change: “15 trillion dollars of US GDP currently comes from work. These are 15 trillion dollars that, in practice, will disappear.” However, Khosla does not present this devaluation as a disaster, but as an economic reconfiguration unprecedented in modern history that would lead to a increase in purchasing power. “With $10,000 you can buy much more than you can if you have $100,000,” stressed the OpenAi investor. ​A world without obligation to work. The most striking consequence of this scenario is that the new generations will not have to work out of economic necessity since, according to Khosla’s prediction, “line workers, commercial employees or accountants, all these services will be free and, in a competitive economy, that means lowering prices.” This economic change also changes the formation equation as we know it today thanks to AI. Khosla maintains that university degrees they will lose their usefulness as a key to access the labor market, except in very specialized fields. It is something in which the investor’s vision matches that of other millionaires from Silicon Valley. “You won’t even need an engineering degree unless your passion is learning,” he noted during his interview. If no one works, where will the money to live come from? This is an important debate that many believe they have the answer to: a universal income that covers the cost of those services for which you still have to pay. Relevant figures in the development of AI such as Sam Altman, Elon Musk or Bill Gates assure that the allocation of a universal income would cover these subsistence needs. However, none of them has clearly specified where the money that will finance this universal income will come from or who should pay it. Khosla also warns that this entire scenario depends on governments managing the transition well and designing appropriate public policies to prevent the promised abundance from being concentrated only in the hands of a few. What they do seem to be clear about Silicon Valley millionaires the thing is It won’t be your taxes. An easier transition for the youngest. You can’t miss what you’ve never had. Therefore, Khosla recognizes that this change it will not be the same for everyone. For older generations, who have built their lives around work as the central axis of identity and livelihood, the transition to this new model dominated by AI automation may be more difficult. On the other hand, for the youngest, the panorama It’s different from the beginning. They will grow up in a world where work will not be an obligation but a choiceand where their life horizons will not be defined by what the labor market demands of them.

While the West debates what to do with AI in schools, in China there are already schools turning it into a child tutor

by

Anyone who has been a child or a parent knows the scene: the flexo light on, an incomprehensible math problem on the table, tears falling from the frustration of not understanding a lesson or not being able to pronounce a foreign language, and a parent losing patience after explaining the same thing for the fifth time. In China they have found a way to turn it around, parents frustrated and exhausted by their workdays are delegating the academic supervision of their children to artificial intelligence. While in different countries there is a strong debate and fear about whether AI erodes critical thinking of students, the opposite is true in China: a 2025 survey led by KPMG revealed that more than 90% of the Chinese are optimistic about this technology. The phenomenon came to light and sparked debate on social media when a mother in Shandong province discovered her husband playing on his mobile phone while letting her Kimi AIa chatbot capable of processing two million characters, did his son’s homework. But this father is not an isolated case. Many adults are using AI not just to teach, but to do the dreaded “parenting chores.” Mr. Zhang, for example, admitted to using the chatbot Doubao to generate summaries of the Aesop’s Fables and print step-by-step images for your third grader’s craft projects. The market has responded with an avalanche of gadgets. Zheng Wenqi, a working mother, bought for about 375 dollars the “Native Language Star”, a device composed of a mask that muffles your voice in Chinese and a speaker that translates it into English to converse with your children. Others, like university professor Wu Ling, They invested $1,170 in AlphaDoga robot dog powered by the DeepSeek model that practices English, dances and keeps his only son company. There are even parents who have gone one step further by becoming creators. This is the case of Yin Xingyu, a mother from Shenzhen who does not know how to program, but who uses the technique of vibecoding with DeepSeek to create interactive English word games for her 6-year-old daughter, as well as generate personalized comics using the Nano Banana Pro imaging model. For the purist parents, devices have emerged such as the “Youdao AI Q&A Pen”, a smart pen designed from “asceticism”: it has no browser or games, it only guides the child step by step in their mathematical reasoning without giving them the direct answer. A multi-million dollar business in a gray area All this enthusiasm has fueled a runaway educational technology market valued at more than $43 billion. Outsourcing has left the homes to take to the streets and, until July 2024, The opening of about 50,000 was estimated “AI study rooms” across the country. In these establishments, children sit in cubicles in front of standardized tablets; They cannot leave until the indicators on the screen turn from red (errors) to green (correct answers). As detailed on CCTVthe “teachers” in these rooms do not teach, they are prohibited from explaining the subject and they act as mere supervisors and commissioned salespeople. To cope with the monotony of 6 to 8 hours answering questions, some children learn to play Go or Gomoku secretly on the same machines, often with the supervisors’ blind eye. However, former employees and parents report that in many of these centers, “artificial intelligence” is just a marketing façade to charge more, and children simply consume pre-recorded lessons on basic tablets. Behind these study rooms hides a business survival tactic. Many of these centers operate in a gray zone to avoid the strict “double reduction” policy. imposed by the government in 2021which banned for-profit tutoring to relieve financial and academic pressure on families. By arguing that “it is AI that teaches and not a human,” these companies dodge education regulators, registering under names of “cultural media” and avoiding words like “enrollment” or “classes.” Franchises are strategically expanding into peri-urban areas and small towns, where rents are low and parents are equally willing to pay for a place to leave their children. This mass adoption is no accident; is backed by a clear state directive. The Chinese government is promoting the integration of AI in education as part of a national strategy to accelerate its technological progress against global competitors such as the United States. The regulations are already on the table. Starting with the fall 2025 semester, Beijing will require a minimum of eight hours per year of AI education in all primary and secondary schools. The transition has been rapid and planned, with higher education leading the way: 99% of university students and teachers in China already use generative tools, and elite universities such as Zhejiang or Fudan have made AI courses mandatory and transversal subjects. Science supports this dive. An empirical study conducted with high school students in H city showed that the duration of daily use of AI tools significantly and positively influences students’ AI knowledge and algorithmic thinking. That is, constant exposure is already shaping your cognitive and technological abilities. The debate is served The families’ opinions are drastically divided. For many, AI democratizes education. Mothers like Li Linyun celebrate that the Doubao chatbot be a “24-hour, knowledgeable and extremely patient teacher,” which has saved him hundreds of dollars on human tutors and improved his relationship with his daughter. On the other hand, technological dependence terrifies educators and a faction of parents, who criticize that children are becoming lazy and losing the ability to think independently. In study halls, proctors notice that students, desperate to turn the screen green, resort to tactical memorization: repeatedly choosing incorrect answers by discard until the system approves them, without actually learning the concept. Added to this is the “AI illusion” and its hallucinations. Su Xiao, mother of a ninth grader, discovered that the general models They could invent historical data with complete confidence and fluency, or omit crucial data in mathematical problems, offering logically impeccable but erroneous results. This forced her to become a “cyber quality inspector,” … Read more

create mental categories as a small child

by

For many dog ​​owners, the your pet’s ability to understand words As ‘ball’, ‘Paseo’ or ‘Chuche’ is a reason for astonishment. But now what dogs can understand a new leap, to move on to compression that goes beyond associating a sound with a specific object. Something that A study Published in Current Biology, it has seen in after its investigation, where they have concluded that dogs can have communication capacities so far reserved for humans. The investigation. The study has been led by Claudia fleet An exceptional group of dogs known as ‘Gifted Word Learner’. Some dogs that are not common at all, since they have an extraordinary talent to learn the names of the objects, with vocabularies ranging from 29 to more than 200 words, one, enables that allows them to learn names of objects quickly in playful interactions with their owners. Learning the rules. To find out if dogs can go beyond simple visual recognition, the researchers designed an ingenious four -phase experiment. The first one focuses on dogs learning what they will have to do. To do this, the owners taught their dogs two verbal labels for two toys groups. For example, a set of four objects were assigned the ‘throw’ label and the only interaction was the game of the strip and loosen. Another set of four toys was given the “launch” label, and with them it was only played to throw them so that the dog would bring them. The crucial thing in this case is that toys within each category did not share any systematic physical characteristic. The only thing in common was the label and the way of playing with them. The exam. The second phase was to verify if the dogs had come to understand well the rules that had been previously taught. Eight dogs exceeded the test successfully, recovering the right toy with at least 12 of 16 attempts. New toys. The third phase was undoubtedly fundamental and is the ‘kit’ of the matter. Here the owners introduced completely new toys for dogs and for a week they played with them in the two ways already established above but with a very strict rule: verbal labels of ‘throw’ or ‘launch’ could not be used. The dogs only experienced the role of the toy, without anyone saying their name or for what they were using it. The fire test. Once all these phases were made, only these new toys were left (with which he had played without appointing it) with other family toys. The owner from another room not to give visual clues asked the dog ‘bring me a’ throw/throw ‘. The dog at that time had to deduce which new toy the owner referred to with this instruction, based solely on the function he had previously experienced with him. Results. The dogs selected the correct new toy, the one with which they had played in the manner corresponding to the label, with a frequency well above chance. On an average of 48 attempts, the dogs hit 31 times. This clearly demonstrates that dogs were not limited to learning the names of individual objects. Instead, they created two “mental categories” based on the function of objects: one for ‘throw’ toys and another for ‘launch’. When they met a new and nameless toy, they were able to assign it to the correct category based on the use that was given. This ability to generalize a label to functionally similar objects, ignoring appearance differences, is a fundamental pillar of language development in children. In fact, this ability emerges in young and preschool children, who learn to understand that both a ceramic cup and a plastic glass belong to the ‘glass’ category because both serve to drink. The importance. This study is pioneer especially to demonstrate that a non -linguistic species can perform a functional classification linked to the learning of verbal labels, and does so in a naturalistic game context and without having to undergo a lot of repetitions in a laboratory environment. Until now you could think that dogs worked through perception, but this study comes to change this idea we had. In this case, the fact that animals classify the world mainly by perceptible characteristics such as shape or color is challenged. These dogs were based on the ‘planned utility’ of the object. In this way, GWL dogs are emerging as an unprecedented animal model to investigate cognition precursors related to language in ecologically valid conditions, offering parallels with child learning. Open a door. The authors themselves point out that this ability is, for now, exclusive to these “gifted” dogs and should not be generalized to the entire canine population. However, it opens the door to investigate whether this capacity is latent in other dogs and what cognitive mechanisms support it.

In 1962, a Mexican child found a radioactive pill and took her home. All the father died but

by

27 years before Chernobyl disasterMexico City lived in its meats the effects of ionizing radiation. With a clear parallelism with the death of Marie Curie About 30 years before, a Mexican family disappeared after being exposed for days to a radioactive capsule that they found out there. And the worst thing is that he never clarified as something so dangerous ended in that house. The case. In March 1962, a family composed of five members (father, pregnant mother, paternal grandmother, a daughter and a son) moved to a new house in Mexico City. It is estimated that, playing in a garden, the child found a ‘capsule’ and took it. With about ten years, I was unable to know what it was, but the capsule is not that it had an easily recognizable badge. The cell. They did not know that this small cobalt-60 capsule of just a few centimeters had an activity of 200 gigabequerelios (GBQ). To put it in context, it is a radiation between hundreds and thousands of millions smaller than the one in Chernobilbut enough to wreak havoc without proper protection. And, of course, the manipulation was far from being correct. Like Marie Curie 30 years before with her radioactive tubes, the little one took the capsule for a few days Cobalt-60 In the pants pocket, absorbing more than directly the ionizing radiation. The mother took her and kept her in a kitchen drawer. Now We still have problems with radiation in Chernobyl And they are built great sarcophagi to contain itso a wooden drawer had little to do. The piece Tragic outcome. A few days later, the mother began to notice that glass vessels began to change color. It is a phenomenon called radiation solarization which occurs when transparent materials such as glass are subjected to high energy radiation (such as X -rays or gamma). Depending on the color of the glass and its composition, the new hue varies, but the effects are patent. It also began to cause mysterious symptoms in different family members, such as tiredness at the beginning and vomiting. He outcome It was expected. At the beginning of April, a few days after the finding of the radioactive pill, the child died. It was the one that received the biggest doses, which caused great damage to the bone marrow, infections and necrosis in the areas of maximum exposure. The mother, who was the one who spent the longest in the kitchen, died in July due to hemorrhages in hematopoietic tissues. The two -year -old younger sister died in August after developing respiratory infection, anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The grandmother was the last one: in October of that year and for causes similar to those of the girl. The father received a high dose, but as time was spent at home for work, he survived. A plane of the house, about 25 m². The location of the pill in the kitchen is marked with the “radiation” symbol Explanations? In just eight months, that little radioactive battery ended five family members and here the most interesting question is how something like that, especially when there was already knowledge of the danger of the radioactive material, ended without protection in the garden of a house. The most serious thing is that 60 years have passed and there is no official version. The capsule, after being obsolete, was removed from a hospital where it was used in radiology equipment and was not transported with the necessary protection measures. There begin the versions that point that he arrived at a landfill next to other waste, but without signaling about the danger it represented and, in some way, ended in that garden. A Report Medical of the 1964 pointed out that the piece was in a lead container that was granted to the family for their care, but without informing its content or danger. The only clear thing is that he left the hospital without proper surveillance and the head of that cobalt capsule was not found. Was not the only one. That mystery has given rise to conspiracy theories such as ensuring that it was a premeditated event that ended in that family, but they are still that: theories. And, although it would have been a perfect story for some film with supernatural component (mysterious deaths, change of color in objects), nothing was done with it. Nor are there great documentaries, contrary to what happened with another radiation case with a cobalt capsule-60: that of Ciudad Juárez in 1984. The protagonist was another radiotherapy unit with Cobalt-60, but on this occasion, an improperly dismantled. Destined to the garbage dump, when the operators pierced the unit with cobalt-60, the particles were shot, contaminating thousands of tons of metal destined to create construction pieces and metal bases for tables. During the next months, hundreds of houses were built that had to be demolished, and tons of contaminated metals that had been distributed throughout Mexico and the southern United States were also recovered. It is estimated that some 4,000 people were exposed, without catastrophic consequences, but leaving a valuable lesson about the risk of recycling obsolete medical machinery.

In the Middle Ages the Child Jesus was represented as an “old baby.” The reason still fascinates experts

by

It is not necessary to be a scholar, or have an eye trained in the study of medieval art. Soon you are familiar with the Christian iconography of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries or have seen any of the Religious altarpieces That they painted themselves in Europe at that time, you are likely to ask yourself a question: why do they show the Child Jesus like this, ugly, aged, touched? And ugly, aged and touched are three adjectives that probably fall short for not a few of the medieval portraits that represent Jesus in their early years, in Mary’s arms. Where there should be a child in his most tender childhood we find a creature with wrinkles, incipient baldness and the expression of a philosopher submerged in brave reflections. The most curious thing is that they are not due to lack of expertise of artists. They are anything but childish because that is what was sought. Portraits of the child? Jesus. There are examples to bore. Paolo Veneziano, Duccio di Buoninasegna, Massaccio, Giotto… If something has in common their representations of the Virgin and the Child Jesus, beyond having painted them between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries and always represent the same religious characters, it is how they did. They were supposed to represent a young woman with her newborn son or only a few years, but what came out of her brushes was very different: “old children”, creatures not very healthy who seem sexagenarians about to sign retirement. Instead of angelic faces, they created incipient baldness heads, wrinkles and expressions that evoke anything except the idea of childhood. And to show a button. Or several. Arrives with a look at the child Jesus of ‘Crevole Madonna’ (1283-1284), by Duccio Di Buoninasegna who looks at you from the right side of the cover image. Or this other painted by Giotto At the beginning of the fourteenth century and observes you with an equally intense expression under these lines. Detail of ‘Maestà di Ognissanti’, by Giotto, the beginning of the fourteenth century. Lack of expertise? That is the first explanation that comes to mind: if they painted the Child Jesus of that guise, maybe it was because of the ability of those who handled the brushes. The reality is much more complex … and fascinating. “These ugly babies were very intentional,” Phil Edwards explains in Vox Magazine. They were more or less skilled, when drawing the face of Jesus the painters were guided by conventions, an assimilated and shared code and a cultural background that in this case affected both the idea of childhood and especially that of the Child Jesus himself. In fact, one of the keys that help us understand these pieces is that medieval artists did not seek to faithfully capture reality. If their babies are not realistic it is because they were not interested in realism. The message matters, not fidelity. “The strangeness we see in medieval art is due to the lack of interest in naturalism. They were more inclined to expressionist conventions,” Matthew Averett recountsProfessor at Creighton. Each painter handled their own brushes and paintings, true; But in a context that influenced his works. They were the creators, but they resorted to a language and clear conventions. “The idea of artistic freedom to represent these people as one would have been new,” he adds. “Art was not interested in naturalism, but rather in the theological expression,” emphasize in The conversation Angela McCarthy, from the University of Notre Dame Australia. And that does not notice only in the aspect with which the Child Jesus was portrayed. In Western art theology also influenced COMPOSITIONS: Jesus usually appears sitting with a mature or diaper posture. “The latter was an attempt to represent the biblical references to a child wrapped in diapers or the shroud placed on Jesus after his death,” Apostille McCarthy. Detail of a representation of the Child Jesus of the mid -14th century of Paolo Veneziano. Do not say a child, give better “homunculus”. If there is a word that helps to understand those disturbing “children-man” who rest in Maria’s lap and look at us from the medieval tables is that: homunculus, which means “Little Man”. The Child Jesus was after all a child, but not anyone. McCarthy recalls that his artistic representation with Mary began to expand after the Council of Ephesus, in 431, and not much later, in 451, another council was held in Chalcedon that would be key to the representations of the Child Jesus: “Part of the interpretation that the Church made of the Council was that Jesus was fully human and divine. Some theologians interpreted that this meant that this meant that this was fully formed. with knowledge of his divinity “, reveals The expert of the University of Notre Dame Australia: “This was difficult to represent in art and hence the name of the child.” “Perfectly formed”. What we observe in the Middle Ages altarpieces is therefore not a simple (more or less realistic) representation of a child with his mother. No. The message is more complex … and rich. It shows us an idea of the Jesus Child influenced by Christian theology and certain conventions. And in which that concept, the “homunculus.” “There is the idea that Jesus was perfectly formed and unchanged”, Remember Averett“And if you combine that with Byzantine painting, it became a standard form to represent Jesus. In some of these images it seems that he had baldness with an adult pattern.” Good example is the child who observes you from the left side of the composition that opens this report. The image is taken from ‘Madonna Della Pace’an icon that, as they remember from the Santi Giovanni E Paolo Basilica, was donated to the Dominicans by a senator who took him from Constantinople in the mid -fourteenth. “In the eastern orthodox tradition, from approximately the sixth century to the present, the child Jesus looks like a little man,” McCarthy abounds.

If the question is how much money you can donate to a child without declaring it to the Treasury, the law makes it clear: none

by

An increasingly widespread trend among millionaires is the Do not leave inheritance To your children. Bill Gates either Warren Buffett There are good examples of this new trend that seeks to convey the heritage of parents to children in alternative ways. However, it is not necessary to go to fortunes so bulky to meet cases of parents who want to convey part of their heritage to their children when they are still young. Patrimonial donations and movable property. According to him Article 618 of the Civil Code“Donation is an act of liberality by which a person has one thing for free in favor of another, that accepts it.” Thus, as defined by the regulations on the Inheritance and Donations Tax, Donating money, goods or any other form of patrimony to children will be considered as a donation by the Tax Agency. That implies that the donation must meet a series of characteristics and pay similar taxes to those that would be paid in case of inheritance without any limit value. Namely: Plusvalía tax, IRPF and Inheritance Tax and Donations. When donating money seems simpler, but Hacienda Vigila. If, as in most cases, the donation consists of an amount of money not very high, temptation is simply giving it to it. But how much money can you give a child without declaring it as a donation? The law does not establish any type of limit that forces donations to declare, so, technically, it would be donation to even give it a euro. However, such and as indicated From lawyers and inheritances, it is not common for the Treasury to pursue the small deliveries of money or gifts of little value. Nevertheless… Finance can request bank information by detecting certain movements due to the regulations of Prevention of capital laundering and terrorism financingso keep it in mind: Income of more than 3,000 euros in cash to review that its origin is justified profits. Income in 500 euros tickets. They are the most monitored tickets by the Treasury because they are used for criminal activities. Entering a large amount of cash in these tickets will sow many suspicions. Recurring income. The entry of a fixed, periodic amount and from the same origin, indicate some type of commercial transaction and the Treasury will show interest in their nature. The small amounts sent to the same account in a short period of time have the same effect Transfers Entities notify the credits of more than 6,000 euros, and transactions of 10,000 euros or more. Whether they are bank transfers and cash movements. How do they pay children’s money to children? Donations, like inheritances, are taxed by the Donation and Succession Tax. Each autonomous community manages this tax under its criteria, so taxation will depend on the Autonomous Community in which the donor has resided in the last five years. Madrid, Basque Country, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, Asturias, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Galicia, Extremadura, La Rioja and Navarra are exempt from this tax or bonus it to 99.9% for spouses, parents and children. Andalusia bonuses 99% and other communities apply exemptions of up to 400,000 euros. If the donation exceeds that limit, it must be taxed by it. It is not a donation, but I “preside”. If what is intended with donation is to help financially in a complicated stage, there is an alternative to donation: formalize a loan without interest. This assumption is not subject to taxes or expenses and it is only necessary to formalize a private loan contract and the donor will have to submit the settlement of the property transmissions tax at zero cost. However, in that document the deadlines and the way in which the money will be returned, which can be extended both in time as desired, will be specified, which makes it especially interesting for the donation of large sums of money. What if the donation is not declared? If you choose not to declare the donation and hacienda, it detects that money has been received without justifying its origin, it will be interpreted as an unjustified assets. In that case, such and as indicated the OCU, a Taxation of the IRPF to the marginal type that can reach up to 56% of the donated amount, plus the corresponding sanction.

Zuckerberg has given the keys of the future to a child prodigy of 97

by

There is the elite talent ecosystem in AI like a anthill in the rain by The 100 classes that Zuckerberg is disbursing (In some case even more) to be able to take a goal to not only scientists of a very high level, but to the type of people who are able to move the needle that matters most: that of the stock market capitalization of the entire company. In those, surely he is not doing all the noise that the person deserves in whose hands the real power of the goal has ended. It is the one who solved the most mundane and decisive problem: how to feed it. Alexandr Wang, 28 years oldHe did not create Chatgpt or Gemini, but he did built a fundamental infrastructure to make possible proposals. And now Zuckerberg has opted 14.3 billion dollars to this – insulting – young is the piece he needed to win the superintelligence career. Son of outstanding scientists in New Mexico, Wang is the founder of Scale AI, a company that does the dirty work, the one that nobody sees but everyone needs: label and prepare the data that train the most advanced AI models of the world. It is not glamorous, but it is indispensable. Like himself He explained“AI is reduced to three pillars: computation, data and algorithms. The computation is promoted by people like Nvidia, algorithmic advances come from great laboratories such as OpenAi, and the data is fed by Scale.” His great success was to understand something that in 2025 seems obvious but that a few years ago was: that the bottleneck of the AI ​​does not only go to algorithms or calculation power, but of quality data, something that We already count on Xataka In … 2019! And Wang, instead of pursuing a viral AI application, started selling shovels in full gold fever. And it turns out that everyone needed shovels. On Monday, Zuckerberg sent an internal memo that sounds more like a declaration of war than with simple reorganization. And it is fair to recognize that when Zuckerberg gets in visionary mode, he usually is right. Nine years ago he nailed him. Wang is a technical genius, but only explains a part of his meteoric ascent despite his youth. The least obvious is that Early understanding where the real value is. When researchers much more experienced than he focused on competing creating better algorithms, he realized that the future would be the one to control the data. “You can have the best algorithms in the world, but if you don’t have quality data, you have nothing,” said Wang. Scale AI became the data provider for OpenAi, Google, Microsoft and, of course, goal. Basically, It was placed in the modern AI supply chain center. Something that has earned more than 14,000 million. His business philosophy is also pure maturity and balance, not always present in entrepreneurs under 30 (Ahem). Keep personal control over each hiring. Also about each data delivery to its customers. “The quality is fractal, the high standards are filtered throughout the organization”, He said. It is also true that if Scale AI was in creditors, we would say that he could not delegate. As the scenario is very different, we praise its involvement. It is, in any case, obsessive to the extreme, but in the correct specific aspects and not with all the width of an organization. “If you really exceed something, if you go to 10 miles per hour of more and constantly go further, then you will improve faster than any other,” said. Pise the accelerator so as not to lift the foot from there. Meta needed Wang because his previous strategy has not finished working: Call 4 It has been a disappointment in a market in which a disappointment is lapidary. Eleven of the fourteen researchers of the flame team They have left target. Several of them have gone to Mistral. Zuckerberg has realized that he is losing a career he really wants to win. And his solution has been to buy the most valuable data ecosystem in the world and give the keys to its creator. Meta reorganization under the umbrella of ‘Meta Superintelligence Labs’ is much more than cosmetics. It is a tacit admission that AI cannot be another department within the finish line. It has to be a goal. And he has put a traditional one twenty -year -old Yann Lecun. It is a total commitment: that in the world of superintelligence, it matters more to understand how the AI ​​business works that the algorithms work. Wang has been selling shovels for years while others cavan. Now Zuckerberg has given him the treasure map.

Throughout the year and independently of its state, almost constantly, meteorologists from different parts of the world monitor the swings of the southern oscillation of El Niño, Enso for its acronym in English. It is not for less, to go and return apparently capricious of this climatic oscillation affects, to a greater or lesser extent the meteorology of half the world. In some areas it is much that depends on what happens in a narrow strip of the Eastern Pacific. A very uncertain panorama. The World Meteorological Organization (OMM) has published its latest update on The status of Ensothe oscillation between the events of El Niño and the Girl. According to the report, we are in the neutral area of ​​the oscillation: the girl vanished a few months ago but the boy does not finish appearing. The forecast draws an uncertain panorama: great probability that we stay in a neutral state But with the door open to a 180º turn: the return to the girl. The oscillation of the southern El Niño. A little context. The boy and girl They are the two faces of a climatic oscillation whose epicenter is in the central strip of the Eastern Pacific. When surface water in this oceanic region is heated we talk about the El Niño phenomenon. The El Niño phenomenon especially affects South America and more specifically west of the continent, where it usually makes rainfall increase, often causing extreme events such as floods. The child is also associated with impacts on very different regions, From North America to Asia. The other face of El Niño. El Niño’s last event vanished in mid -2024, giving way to the girl towards the end of the year. The girl It is the other face of this oscillation. If the main consequence of El Niño is an increase in rainfall on the Pacific coast of South America, the girl is associated with less rainfall and a greater probability of drought. The girl also left. In fact, the girl’s last event was shorter and more weak than expected. Back to the start box? The predictions included In the latest OMM report they point out that there is 70% probabilities that this neutrality between the boy and the girl is maintained between June and August, while there is a 30% probability that we return to A second event of the consecutive girl. In the longer term this second scenario Win probability: If we consider the period between July and September, the probability of neutral conditions is reduced to 65%, while the probability of a new event of the girl ascends to 35%. In any case, a transit to the child seems unlikely from here to September. When will we leave doubts? Spring is usually a time of weather uncertainty and that also applies to the oscillation between the boy and the girl. Meteorologists talk about the “Spring predictability barrier”, And once we transfer it we can have a better vision of what is expected this year. Will it affect us? It is clear that southern oscillation has an important weight in the Americas and especially in some areas. However, Enso is a global phenomenon capable of disrupting meteorology into the most disparate places, including Europe. If the child usually associates with warmer temperatures globally, the girl can make Europe and the rest of the world see lower average temperatures this winter. This can give us a new and small respite with respect to what we saw in 2024, the year in which we live the combined effect of the temperatures associated with climate change with an El Niño event that implied that the world began to beat numerous temperature records. In Spain, the end of El Niño’s last event brought us the end of the drought, and that is that experts point out that in terms of rainfall in Europe, Enso’s effects can vary between areas. In the southwest, the girl It is associated with more rainfallso the girl’s return could help keep drought at bay. In Xataka | 250 million years ago, 80% of earth species disappeared.

In South Korea, parents are buying their children actions of Tesla instead of toys. Child capital is priority

by

In January there was one of the most anticipated news in time in South Korea. A small ray of hope after years of demographic debacle when seeing how the nation saw a Increase figure thus breaking a streak of almost ten years. Then we knew ideas that sought to further enhance that birth rate, such as the offer of “Premium” meat To the new moms. Now we also know that kids are receiving gifts from their parents. But they are not toys, they are actions. From stuffed to the portfolio. In South Korea, traditional children’s gifts (dolls, consoles or games) are being replaced For stock stock actionsan increasingly popular trend between parents seeking to plant the seeds of financial education from childhood. What was previously exclusive to expert adults, today, According to local mediait makes its way between minors who, with the consent of its parents, already total more than 1.2 million investment accounts in the country. Explained the Korean Times Cases like Lee’s, a 45 -year -old office worker who has given her son on her birthday and on Children’s Day, embodying this new philosophy for seven years: build an early heritage and transmit economic knowledge through the example. Although the child still prefers the letters of Pokémon that his mother gives him, the father’s intention is not immediate, but in the long term: familiarize him with concepts such as dividends, shareholding property and compound growth, even if for now he does not fully understand them (or nothing). Fiscal instruments and benefits. This kind of dystopia has much more, since the favorite instruments of this generation of children’s investors are the High Dividend ETFfunds that replicate indices such as S&P 500, and actions known as those of Samsung Electronics, Tesla, Nvidia or Apple. Because the strategy not only responds to an educational eagerness, but also to tax advantages: Parents can transfer up to 20 million WON (about 14,000 euros) Free from child taxes every decade, which converts these gifts into efficient patrimonial transmission vehicles. According to an example cited in the middle by a father, an initial investment of 20 million WON with an annual yield of 7% can be transformed into 70 million after 20 yearswithout paying a single won. This forecast is aligned with an increasingly entrenched vision that the economic future begins to build not in adulthood, but in the first years of life. Adolescence and stock market. Apparently, the trend has begun to permeate even among children and adolescents themselves, particularly in the strip from 17 to 19 years. In a recent survey Made by Samsung Securities43% of young people claimed to have an investment account In his name, and 58% declared that they planned to invest in shares soon. This youthful interest contrasts with the traditional lack of financial culture among the youngest in other countries, and reveals a society that, through parental practice and accompaniment, is Refforting your relationship With money from the bases. According to Hwang Seiionresearcher of Korea Capital Market Institutethis phenomenon has low risk due to the small initial amounts and adult guidelines, but it can have a high impact on the literacy long -term financial. Seducing childhood. The last of the legs to be treated. Faced with this hatching of investors Precocosstockbrokers are deploying directed campaigns directly to children and adolescent public. Within the framework of Children’s Day, signatures like Mira Asset Securities, Samsung Securities and Kiwoom Securities offered economic rewardsgift cards and reduced commissions for minors that open their first online accounts. Kiwoomwhich concentrates more than half a million of these children’s accounts, has even launched a Educational Channel On YouTube to teach basic finances in a didactic way. An entire ecosystem that points to a strategic objective: to capture the investor from its earliest stage to consolidate a long -term relationship with the market. Transcending money. The KT told That, in the background, and beyond the accumulation of wealth, this movement represents a sociocultural transformation: money ceases to be a taboo issue between parents and children and becomes part of the dialogue daily. In a dystopia that few were able to advance, tell a small child who is Tesla’s shareholder or who has a fraction of the S&P 500 not only introduces it to the language of capital, but, apparently, offers a new way of understanding his place in the economic world. If you want also, in a historically oriented society to savings and educational effortSouth Korea seems to be finding new ways to translate those values ​​into the 21st century. What was once an envelope with tickets today can be a business fraction, and what was once an ephemeral toy, now it becomes a tool financial training. Childhood, losing along the way part of its playful character, is thus linked to a broader notion of forecast. Because how these hint Parents “Visionaries”It is never too soon to learn to invest in the future.
