There is a way to make your AI agent a good employee. Talk to him a lot: Crossover 1×43

by

If you haven’t tried yet install OpenClaw or you didn’t know very well how to do it, at Xataka and Crossover we are trying to bring you closer to this fascinating AI agent that can be converted into a tireless employee who works 24/7 for you. We talk about it again, and we do it now with a more tutorial approach that will allow you to know what to do once you take the first installation steps. And although from the beginning OpenClaw allows you to chat with him From a web browser, the first thing to do is “connect” it to a messaging app such as WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord, Slack or, as we have, Telegram. Doing it is quite simple thanks to the BotFather system integrated into Telegram, and once you have done so you can talk to your OpenClaw whether you are at home or away. This gives you total freedom to “send things” to your virtual employee, but for it to be really useful, the most advisable thing from the beginning is to simply chat with him. That is what we try to explain in this new installment of Crossover in which Jaume tells us how he has already carried out that first installation and we recommend something that we have already done and continue to do: talk to OpenClaw, chat with him and tell him how we workwhat is our routine, our interests and even our hobbies. Here, of course, everyone is free to tell more or less things, but the more details we give, for example, about our workflow, the more OpenClaw will “understand” that way of working to help us more accurately when we ask it to do something for us. From there it is advisable to take a few more steps, such as configuring some skills to expand its capabilities, start experimenting with its options and configure, for example, an API for a service so that it can be used “on our behalf.” Of course there are some risks when we give an AI full access to our machine, and that is why it is advisable have separate accounts of everything for that OpenClaw instance. We talk about all this in this episode Crossover 1×43we hope you like it.

OpenClaw is the AI ​​agent that is blowing the AI ​​industry’s mind. We have tested it: Crossover 1×42

by

ChatGPT and Claude are great, but they only do things when you ask them to. OpenClaw It’s something else. It is an AI agent that takes advantage of the power of ChatGPT or Claude (or other models) He becomes your personal employee and does everything you ask of himbut in an autonomous and proactive way. This is something that the industry has been promising for years, and although some steps had already been taken in that direction with AIs that, for example, can reserve a table for you in a restaurant, OpenClaw goes a little further because you basically “give them the keys to the office”. So, when you install it on a machine (or a VPS, or a Raspberry Pi, or a Docker container, or wherever you want) you give this AI agent superpowers, because it will be able to do everything it wants on that machine. You will be able to use all the apps you have, browser included, and use all those tools to do things for you. It is, we insist, like having an employee who works for you 24 hours a day and who, if you don’t want to, will never rest. The concept is super powerful, but of course it has some buts. The most important one is security risks, and in this episode we talk about how to protect yourself so that that virtual employee doesn’t end up messing you up and causing chaos. We also have to talk about costs, because this AI agent is a true “token glutton” and you will have to be practical when choosing which models you want to use it with. We talk about all that and many more things in this episode Crossover 1×42, which serves as an introduction to a fascinating topic. Be careful, this is addictive.

We believed that AI was killing jobs in the tech industry. It is actually changing the rules of the game: Crossover 1×41

by

It is possible that in the future AI will take away our jobs, but at the moment it is being taken away from very few. This was stated in a recent Anthropic study on the impact of AI on the labor market, and this is a perfect perch to present the debate that concerns us in Crossover 1×41. And it is a special edition because we have as a guest Jordi Arrufiof Talent Arena. This event, which is held within the framework of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​is aimed at future developers and also senior profiles, and with it we had the opportunity to talk about how AI is changing the rules of the game for professionals in the sector. To begin, we must dispel myths. At least for now, because although there was a time that AI was going to replace programmers, what is being seen according to Arrufí is that The demand for technological talent is increasing. In fact, what is expected is that the impact of AI will cause this technology to begin to create jobs that we cannot even imagine. We also couldn’t imagine that with the rise of the Internet there would be frontend and backend developers or web designers: the same in this case. Many professionals may fear that future, and here the recommendation to be prepared for the future is that these professionals combine your technical capacity (‘hard skills’) with human capabilities (‘soft skills’) such as critical thinking, leadership or communication. The frenetic advancement of AI also makes the ability for continuous learning and adaptability key in these changing times. He vibe coding has changed the paradigm, and has opened this area even to users without basic programming knowledge. Plus there is something striking here. A real opportunity for current professionals and those to come, because if something is clearly taking off it is interest in technological sovereignty. Europe seeks to recover ground against the US and China through investments in chipsFor example. Public funding is especially critical to retaining talent and prevents professionals from emigrate for higher wages. We also had the opportunity to talk about another of the areas of greatest projection: robotics. It is expected a imminent adoption of humanoid robots in industry and in logistics processes. Domestic robots will take longer, no doubt, but what seems clear is that by 2035 the world will be dominated by AI agents and massive advances in fields such as biotechnology. This is not just about AI: It’s about talent, money and who adapts faster and in a more accurate way.

Supplements, medications and Silicon Valley vampires: the promise of living (well) over 100 years: Crossover 1×40

by

A few weeks ago we brought Dr. José Hernández, an expert in longevity and rejuvenation, who told us about what it really means to get older And what technologies allow us to stop this curse? biological. Well, the thing did not stop there, because in the pipeline we had this second installment of an interview that now goes even further. Thus, on this occasion we focus especially on the drugs and medications that try to extend our longevity and let’s also do it with quality of life. There are some here usual suspectsand there has long been talk about how certain supplements can contribute to human longevity. We took the opportunity to talk about Mounjaro and Ozempic and how these medications “reprogram” the brain and what impact that strategy can have. But in addition, Jaume de la Hoz —who is “deep inside” this segment, as he says— reviews many other drugs and supplements in addition to taking the conversation to another fascinating terrain: that of the vampires of Silicon Valley and that of millionaires like Brian Johnsonwhich has become famous for its unique methods of rejuvenation. Without a doubt, an exciting topic in which, of course, AI can also play a fundamental role. Platforms like AlphaFold and their implications when it comes to proposing a potential revolution in biology are certainly promising, but here we have to be cautious: There are many expectations and, at the moment, few certainties.

There was a time when Megaupload conquered the world of downloads. And their king was Kim Dotcom: Crossover 1×39

by

At the beginning of the 2000s there were practically no legitimate alternatives to access film, series or music content through streaming, so there were those who took advantage of the circumstance to propose “dark” options. P2P networks were clearly one of those options, but we also attend at that time at the birth of phenomena like Megaupload. This platform became an absolute internet giant, and its creator, Kim Dotcom, is already a living part of the history of the network of networks. This hacker and entrepreneur managed to put an entire industry in suspense while making gold and living like a king. However, justice ended up going after him, and that spelled the end of Megaupload. The raid that ended with his arrest It became news with worldwide coverage, and that marked the definitive end of that platform. Two years later, Mega would appear, a much more “formal” and less obscure alternative, but Dotcom would end up breaking away from it shortly after creating it. Since then this entrepreneur has become a kind of political activist who tries by all means to ensure that justice I couldn’t unload all my weight against him. Whether he does or not remains unknown, but one thing is certain: the story of Kim Dotcom and Megaupload They deserved their own episode. of Crossover.

We have been experiencing a great war between the Xbox and the PlayStation for 25 years. And that’s wonderful: Crossover 1×38

by

The clear things and the thick chocolate: I’m from Xbox. I have been almost always, although my first real console was the original PlayStation. Then, for various reasons, I decided to try the original Xbox and loved it, and have ended up owning all of its successors. But that doesn’t stop me from knowing that Spain is a country of Play. I respect and accept it, but what I also value is that this “console war” continues to be so active, because that competition not only allows us some fun and laughter with friends – “Do you really have an Xbox!?!?” – but above all because it has allowed both evolve amazingly. And precisely that war between the Xbox and the PlayStation we talk about in this installment of Crossover, in which both Jose and I We talk about our experiences and the history of these platforms accompanied, of course, by Jaume, who moderates and as always asks the right questions. Thus, we review the birth of the first PlayStation and Xbox and how that completely changed a market that previously seemed dominated by Sega and Nintendo. The latter has never directly entered into competition with Sony and Microsoft, and has chosen a different path and in which it has certainly done extraordinarily well. But what is clear is that the evolution of the Xbox and the PlayStation marked us all and in that review we talk about all those decisions, how each of the generations fared and what the future may hold for us. The final question, “Who won the console war?”may have a valid answer for the current moment, but the best of all is that we are facing platforms that are absolutely alive and that are preparing the most interesting news in the short term. Not only of them, of course, also with promising projects like the Steam Machine. Meanwhile, whether you are from Xbox or Play, we have a single message. Long live video games. On YouTube | Crossover In Xataka | There is brutal competition for our attention. And there is someone losing that battle in a bloody way: the consoles

We have been dreaming of stopping aging for centuries. The question is if we are finally achieving it: Crossover 1×37

by

Myths such as that of the fountain of eternal youth have helped human beings through the ages. let’s dream of not aging and living forever. Reality is still cruel: Although life expectancy has increased, we age without seeming to slow it down. But there are those who argue that there may be. In this episode we have spoken with Dr. José Hernández, longevity expert and founder of a clinic specialized in Age Reversal, to understand what aging really is, why it is considered a disease today, and what technologies could allow us to go back biologically. In this debate we talk about information theory and epigenetic damage, cellular reprogramming, or how there are already large companies —and some billionaires— investing significantly in this. In fact, the most advanced science is accompanied by methods that seem much more effective not so much in slowing down aging but in ensuring that our physical condition is much better when this process affects us: Physical exercise is an absolute pillar of longevityassures this expert. Of course there are other factors that influence – diet and genetics, of course, do – but we are dealing with a question that has opened numerous avenues of research, some of which are promising. Who knows what can happen. On YouTube | Crossover In Xataka | Don’t tell me your age, tell me your grip strength: how simple gestures tell us how well we are aging

The eternal battle between whether you are from Apple/iOS or Windows/Android intensifies because the AI ​​wants to take advantage: Crossover 1×36

by

In the world of technology there are usually two main types of users: those who choose Apple’s closed ecosystem, and those who prefer to bet on (somewhat) more open alternatives such as those proposed by Microsoft with Windows and Google with Android. Is there a way to know which of the alternatives is better? Into that mess we get into this new episode of Crossover in which we analyze what a technological ecosystem is and the evolution of this concept. Thus, we review how Microsoft began to implement that idea without still using the word “ecosystem.” He did it with Windows because with it he had that central element on which to sell us other applications like Office or Internet Explorer in those beginnings. But with smartphones and the cloud, the ecosystem concept ended up making complete sense, and If there is someone who has exploited it in an extraordinary way, it has been Apple. It has done so, however, with a closed focussomething that has clear advantages, but also disadvantages. Faced with this conception, Microsoft first on desktop computers and then Google on mobile phones continued to promote open ecosystems, which gave much more choice but also posed their own problems. Added to all this now the rise of AIwhich these companies will undoubtedly try to use as a new argument to strengthen their ecosystems. They are all doing it already, and it remains to be seen whether or not this reinforces these ecosystems, whether open or closed.

There is an island without which the world would not function. This is how Taiwan has become a world technological epicenter: Crossover 1×35

by

In February 1974, the Prime Minister of Taiwan met with a small group of experts and together they came to a conclusion: the country had a difficult time with the economic strategy of the time, and they had to make a bet on the future. That bet They were, of course, the semiconductors. That famous meeting marked a before and after for a country that has a very delicate geopolitical situation. China considers it a rogue state, but while they have their own government and currency. Despite this tension, Taiwan has managed to become a strategic partner of countries such as the aforementioned China or the United States, and in both cases for the same reason: chips. Taiwan has managed to become a absolute giant in the semiconductor industry, and this is demonstrated by the company that It is the crown jewel of the country: TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). Since it was founded in 1987, the company has grown and its alliance with Apple in the early 2010s has proven crucial to its current dominance. But before all that happened, Taiwan went through a complicated process that included wars and dominance by Japan for nearly half a century. In this episode of Crossover we precisely analyze the history of this peculiar island and how it faces a future that, even with its current position, is full of challenges. On YouTube | Crossover In Xataka | TSMC’s only problem was that it was in Taiwan. So the United States has decided to get her out of there

The film industry has been stagnant for more than a century. Netflix wants to change it: Crossover 1×34

by

Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack, all brothers, decided to open their first movie theater in Pennsylvania in 1903. Considering that the movie industry was in its infancy at the time, the bet was risky. Those brothers ended up being the most famous in that industryand in fact they made it clear in the name of their company: Warner Bros. They would soon buy more theaters and, over time, discover that distribution was important, but content was even more important. They ended up becoming a film producer that managed to be a pioneer with the famous ‘The Jazz Singer’, the first talking film. More films would arrive, and a 1948 ruling in the US meant that she and other production companies had to dedicate themselves only to generating content. It wasn’t a bad deal, and for more than a century the film industry has done really well and has strengthened that idea that content is king. Netflix also discovered it over time. Although it was also born focusing on distribution – with its famous DVD rental service by mail – its leap into the world of streaming caused it to even take steps from Warner Bros. and decide to create its own content. This is how series like ‘House of Cards’ or ‘Stranger Things’ were born, which have turned it into a true steamroller in the field of audiovisual content. So much so that after more than 100 years without major changes, Netflix could fully enter the “traditional” industry if he manages to buy Warner Bros.. The recent offer to have options to get ahead, but everything is to be decided. What is clear is that if that happens there will be a change of direction in this gigantic industry. We talked about all this in the last installment of Crossover, we hope you enjoy it! On YouTube | Crossover In Xataka | Netflix promised them very happy with their huge purchase of Warner.
