definitive

We thought that quenching hunger with Ozempic was the definitive remedy against obesity. Until we look at the muscle

by

The revolution of drugs as they are OzempicWegovy or Mounjaro have undoubtedly marked a before and after in the approach to obesity, which previously went under the knife when measures focused on lifestyle changes failed. A priori, we are sold the idea of ​​having a very pronounced weight loss, but the reality is that many patients are falling into protein malnutrition and losing a large amount of muscle mass. We are getting more data. We do not know the drugs completely when they begin to be marketed, but as patients use them, they emerge. new side effects or situations that pharmaceutical companies had not initially imagined. Here a revealing new studywhich will be presented at the European Obesity Congress, has put figures on these effects of malnutrition that accompany successful treatments. And all this indicates that the strategy followed with Ozempic must be changed so that doctors can give precise indications of the nutritional strategy that must be followed during the treatment period to avoid serious health problems. Not having an appetite is bad. A priori, those who take Ozempic want to have less desire to eat, and for it to practically be a task that becomes an obligation in order to survive. But the problem is that people end up having too little hunger, as a new scientific study has shown. analyzed over 5,700 days of nutritional data of 332 overweight adults between July 2025 and 2026. What was seen. Of all of these, the 116 users who were taking drugs like Ozempic consumed drastically fewer calories than the control group, something that was quite expected, but the most important thing was the protein intake that plummeted when the drugs were taken. Specifically, medicated patients consumed an average of 53.8 grams of protein per day, and adjusted to their body weight, this amounts to just 0.6 g/kg/day. To put it in perspective, 88% of these patients fell well below the official recommendation of consuming 0.8 g/kg/day of protein, and far from optimal levels for preserving muscle during weight loss. The reason. Lack of hunger literally makes people skip meals, basically because they do not have that physiological need to put anything in their mouth. Here the study could see that patients taking Ozempic or similar skipped 40.4% of dinners, 31.3% of breakfasts and 30.5% of lunches. In this way, by reducing eating to a few moments of the day, it is almost impossible to achieve the around 25 grams of protein per meal that the body needs to synthesize new muscle and maintain the structure it has. It has consequences. In medicine, the fact of losing muscle mass is what is called sarcopenia and until now it was mainly associated with people who were not physically active, such as the elderly or those who were bedridden. Here scientific reviews suggest that between 25% and 40% of all the weight lost by users taking Ozempic is muscle. And in a very important proportion with respect to fat loss, making it so that almost for every two kilos of fat lost, one is muscle. In older adults or patients with type 2 diabetes, the situation is even more serious, since high doses of semaglutide accelerate sarcopenia, reducing vital metrics for longevity and quality of life, such as grip strength or walking speed. In addition, severe calorie restriction brings with it deficiencies of micronutrients such as vitamin D, vitamin B12 or iron. How to avoid it. Here, medical guidelines increasingly point to a personalized approach in which a highly nutritious diet is established to prevent the patient from having a macronutrient deficiency while losing weight. This is why it is already being recommended that during weight loss it is recommended to increase protein consumption from 1 to 1.6 grams of protein per kg of weight, prioritizing a minimum of 20-30 grams at each meal. In addition, a ban should be established on skipping meals, with eating times having to be very measured, even a little, but at different times throughout the day to avoid prolonged fasting. Maintain muscle. This should be the primary objective and that is why, along with a diet rich in protein, strength exercise with weights, bands or even calisthenics should be encouraged. In this way, the body has the signal to maintain the amount of muscle despite the fact that there is a loss of fat due to the medication. And here the objective is to lose weight, but without having to remove the bricks that are literally building our body, since if we manage to lose weight, but are left without muscle mass, the quality of life is not going to be the best.

We have been avoiding the definitive energy crisis for months. Iran’s missile at Qatar’s largest gas plant threatens to detonate it

by

We had been holding our breath for weeks, assuming the logistical tension in the Strait of Hormuz like the new normal. However, the war has crossed an irreversible red line. We have gone from a trade blockade to the physical destruction of the world’s energy engine, and the consequences are already being felt in the global economy. The impact has been immediate. The price of natural gas in Europe (the TTF reference contract) has shot up 35% in a matter of hours, resurrecting the worst ghosts of the Ukrainian crisis of 2022. The magnitude of the disaster is such that Susan Sakmar, a professor at the University of Houston, warns in Bloomberg that this attack could be “a turning point for the LNG sector, similar to the attack against Nord Stream or perhaps even worse”, as it is a sudden interruption with no signs of a short-term solution. The chronological climb. To understand how we got here we have to look at the chain of events of the last 48 hours. The original trigger, as revealed The Wall Street Journalwas an attack by Israel against the South Pars field, the jewel in the crown of the Iranian energy industry, with the aim of suffocating the sources of financing for the Revolutionary Guard. And it is not just any objective. The analyst Joaquín Coronado emphasizes that South Paris (shared with Qatar, where it is called North Dome) is the largest natural gas field in the world, hosting 10% of global reserves. 70% of Iranian domestic consumption gas comes from there and generates 80% of the Qatari State’s income. A withering response from Tehran. As pointed out Financial TimesIran launched ballistic missiles against the giant Ras Laffan industrial complex in Qatar, the largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in the world and home to key infrastructure such as Shell’s Pearl GTL plant. State-owned company QatarEnergy confirmed “extensive damage” and fires at its facilities. Panic spread throughout the Persian Gulf. According to Reutersthe Iranian Revolutionary Guard issued public evacuation orders, declaring vital energy facilities in Saudi Arabia (such as the Samref refinery and the Jubail complex), the United Arab Emirates (the Al Hosn gas field) and Qatar as “legitimate targets.” Shortly afterward, Riyadh intercepted missiles aimed at the Saudi capital. The market has felt the blow. Oil prices have gone crazy. As detailed oil price, a barrel of Brent surpassing the barrier of 110-113 dollars, which represents an increase of almost 60% in this month of March. However, the real problem goes beyond the daily price. Martin Senior, of Argus Media, warns of a “new level of impact”. It is no longer just about the logistical closure of the Strait of Hormuz (through which 20% of the world’s oil passes); The problem is that the time to repair these destroyed facilities could last much longer than the war itself. And the worst omens already have figures. As has revealed exclusively in Reuters CEO of QatarEnergy, the Iranian attack has knocked out 17% of the country’s LNG capacity for a period that could last up to five years. The domino effect. This situation is taking third countries on their way. As explained CrownedIraq has suddenly lost 3,100 megawatts of electricity due to the Iranian supply cut, while Türkiye will be forced to compete fiercely for emergency LNG shipments. In Europe, the panic is evident: the bulletin Europe Express of the Financial Times reveals that war has blown up the EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, where debate on how to improve competitiveness has been completely overshadowed by fear of energy bills and domestic pressure on the emissions trading system. Geopolitics to the limit. Diplomacy appears broken and America’s allies are losing patience. According to the Wall Street JournalArab governments are “furious” because they feel that the US and Israel strategy has put a target on their backs. For its part, Al Jazeera includes the statements of the Saudi Foreign MinisterPrince Faisal bin Farhan, who has warned Iran that the Gulf’s patience “is not unlimited” and they reserve the right to take military action. Qatar, for its part, has expelled the Iranian diplomats, giving them 24 hours to leave the country. In the midst of this chaos, Washington’s role is erratic. President Donald Trump went to social media to deny prior knowledge of the Israeli attack on South Paris. However, how to collect WSJ, Trump issued an ultimatum to Tehran: if it attacks Qatar again, the US will “massively blow up the entire” Iranian oilfield. Faced with rising prices, the White House is seeking desperate measures. The column of Javier Blas in Bloomberg reveals a controversial plan of the US Treasury: to intervene directly in the financial markets by betting on the downside (shorting) in oil futures to artificially make gasoline cheaper before the elections. An idea that experts such as the CEO of CME Group describe as a “biblical disaster” that would destroy confidence in the free market. The peripheral context. To get the full picture, you have to look beyond the explosions. Verisk Maplecroft Analyst warn in Reuters that the greatest danger right now is that the attacks will extend to Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline or to Red Sea ports. These were the only viable alternative routes to avoid the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil normally transits. In an attempt to cushion the blow domestically, the Trump administration has temporarily suspended the century-old Jones Act (Jones Act) for 60 days, allowing foreign-flagged ships to transport oil and gas between US ports to reduce costs. The dead end. The panorama is bleak. As they reflect on Five Daysthe apparent lightness with which this conflict has developed has dragged us into a dead end. Iran has shown that it does not need to win a conventional war; It is enough for him to set the energetic heart of the planet on fire. Even if a ceasefire were signed tomorrow and ships sailed freely through the Strait of … Read more

We have been believing for years that intermittent fasting is the definitive weapon to lose weight. Science has another idea

by

During the last years, the intermittent fasting has gone from being something exceptional to becoming a nutritional strategy that there is more and more talk and that it has more followers behind it. And it is no wonder, since the promise is quite seductive as it does not focus on what you eat, but on when you eat, activating different metabolic switches to accelerate fat burning. Although there are also detractors behind. New data. The Cochrane library, considered a great world reference, published a few days ago a great review about intermittent fasting that acts as a bucket of cold water, since it suggests that this diet does not offer superior benefits to conventional weight loss diets. The backup. We are not talking about a small study whose validity can be questioned, but in this case the Cochrane researchers analyzed 22 randomized controlled trials that added up to a total of 1,995 participants. overweight or obesity. The objective here was to compare different fasting modalities, such as going 16 hours without being able to eat with eight hours of eating, fasting on alternate days or 5:2 diet compared to classic calorie restriction or inaction. What they found is that, when pitting intermittent fasting against regular dietary advice, the difference in weight loss is virtually zero. The data. Getting into the matter, when intermittent fasting was compared With standard calorie-restricted diets, the mean difference in weight change was a minuscule -0.33%. This difference can translate into that intermittent fasting may result in little to no difference in weight loss with the traditional method. Regarding quality of life, such as the feeling of energy, no difference was seen and, regarding the levels of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, fasting did not prove to be a panacea either, yielding results of “little or no difference” compared to the control diets. The small print. One of the most critical points of the Cochrane review is the certainty of the evidence, which they rated mostly as “low” or “very low.” This does not mean that the studies are poorly done, but rather that there are important limitations, such as risk bias, inconsistency in results, and lack of precision. But there is one fact that should worry anyone who decides to opt for this diet independently, without medical advice, since, although the evidence is uncertain, some studies pointed to associated side effects specifically to fasting. These include headaches, nausea, cold intolerance or even insomnia and lack of concentration. What is not yet known. Perhaps it is the most revealing thing about this scientific study, since there are still many unknowns surrounding intermittent fasting that invite further research. In this case, none of the 22 studies included data on “patient satisfaction,” which is important because we don’t know if people prefer to go hungry for a few hours in exchange for eating more later, or if they hate the process. And being comfortable with a diet is essential so that you don’t abandon it halfway through. In addition to this, none of the studies pointed to the relationship that may exist in chronic diseases that require significant dietary control, such as diabetes, and which is very common in the population. But one of the big problems in science today is duration, since most studies lasted less than 12 months. We don’t know if fasting is sustainable or safe beyond a year. It is not a miracle diet. What we do know is that intermittent fasting works, but the key point is that It is not superior to the tools we already had as a calorie restriction accompanied by a balanced diet and exercise. For the average patient, this is actually good news: it means that the The best diet is the one you can stick to. If someone finds it easier to skip breakfast with a 16:8 fast than to count calories at each meal, fasting is a valid tool. But if fasting causes headaches, you’re not missing out on any “magic” metabolic benefits from eating three times a day. Although in this process the most important thing is always to be advised by personnel who are qualified in nutrition to be able to have the best dietary plan, to have real objectives and, above all, not to get frustrated along the way.

In 1925, procrastination was already a problem and someone found the definitive solution: the isolation helmet.

by

Hundreds of thousands of years of evolution They have turned modern humans into perfect machines in one thing: distracting us. No matter where, when or how you are, if you are accompanied or alone, if you are waiting in line at the butcher shop or have a book in front of you, chances are that your attention ends up dispersing for any nonsense. Maybe the flight of a fly. Maybe that sound you just heard in the next room or a stain on the wall. It happens today and it happened a century ago, when a science fiction-loving inventor designed the ultimate machine to end distractions. His patent dates back to 1925, but it addresses a hot topic: procrastination. The war of wars. Since man has been a man, he has done two things, both wonderfully: he is distracted and he procrastinates. Almost 2,000 years ago Seneca warned us about the risks of wasting our time and we know, for example, that distractions were one of the big concerns of the monks of the Middle Ages. Some even thought that if our minds disperse it is due to the influence of devils. In 2026 things are not very different. A quick Google search comes up to find a wide (very wide) list of guides and videos with tips on how to focus and stop putting off tasks. And it is understandable. After all, cell phones, social networks and other inventions of modern technology make our lives easier, but they have been filing our ability to focus. Even science has confirmed that we are losing the ability to focus among so many stimuli. And how do we solve it? We humans have not only been distracted for centuries and centuries. We have also spent some time looking for ways to avoid that annoying wandering of thoughts. Of all the solutions that have been given to the problem, perhaps the most astonishing (and bizarre) is the one proposed just a century ago by Hugo Gernsbachan imaginative Luxembourgish-American inventor. His name may sound familiar to you because, in addition to register patents of inventions and working in the electronics industry, Gernsback excelled in another field: publishing. Throughout his life he promoted several magazines focused on technology (RadioNews), but he also shone in science fiction. We owe him Amazon Storiesa milestone of the genre. His contribution in the field was so important that he is considered one of the parents of science fiction (with permission from Verne and HG Wells) and every year he is honored through the Hugo Awards. Adding facets. A century ago Gernsback combined this double facet, his technical ingenuity and overflowing imagination, to launch a proposal through the pages of Science and Inventiona magazine specialized in technology. In its July 1925 issue, the inventor, editor and novelist presented a creation which he named ‘The Isolator’. The name is striking in itself, but it pales in comparison to the photographs that illustrate the report. They show Gernsback working in his office with his head in a gigantic diving suit, an elongated helmet with two small openings for the eyes and a tube that connects it to an oxygen cylinder. Its purpose: to immerse the wearer in absolute isolation, an ideal state for centering. When silence does not come. Gernsback came to a conclusion very simple: sometimes it is not enough to lock yourself in a room without noise to concentrate. Even so, we risk our mind getting carried away by the flight of a fly or starting to wander after seeing a stain on the table. The way to avoid it, he concluded, was to eliminate all those influences “in one fell swoop.” As? With a helmet prepared to suppress unnecessary noises and visual stimuli. For the first thing, the noises, Gernsback decided to go for a robust multi-layer helmet. Its first prototype was made of solid wood with an internal and external layer of cork and a felt trim. For the second (view) he added three small pieces of glass. The design was completed with a device at mouth height that allowed the user to breathe without noise creeping in. The result, says the inventorit was a helm with an efficiency of “about 75%”. It isolated from external noises, but not completely. There was room for improvement. And how did you improve it? Perfecting the design. Gernsback rethought the material and added an air chamber so that the efficiency of ‘The Isolator’ rose to 90 or 95%, “eliminating practically all noise.” So that vision was not a problem either, the helmet’s glass peepholes located in front of the eyes were painted black, leaving only a narrow transparent strip. “When the two white lines on the glass open, the field through which the view can move is relatively small,” points out the inventor. “It is almost impossible to see anything but a sheet of paper in front of the user. There is no distraction.” Concentrating… and breathing. It is one thing that ‘Isolator’ lived up to its name by isolating the user in a bubble of responsible concentration and another, very different, that it was comfortable or even bearable. The author explains that after 15 minutes with it on the user “experienced some drowsiness”, so he decided to improve the breathing system, connecting it to a small oxygen tank. This improved breathing and “revitalized the subject.” In his article Gernsback added detailed plans of ‘The Isolator’ and even a sketch of an office with a complete distraction-proof installation, which included a ‘noise-proof’ door and an adequate ventilation system. “With this provision you can contemplate an important task in a short time,” boasted. “Building ‘The Isolator’ will be a huge investment.” The power of paper. If humanity has also learned something (including Gernsback) it is that paper supports ideas that are not supported in reality. His helmet may have been eye-catching, it may have even worked, but it didn’t work. We don’t know to what extent its inventor really expected it … Read more

A YouTuber has gutted all the consoles to create the definitive machine: the Ningtendo PXBOX 5

by

Although the PC is the almost perfect cross-platform machineuntil not so long ago, if you wanted to enjoy all the video games you had to have a PS5a Switch 2 and one Xbox Series. The problem, apart from many others, is space: they take up an awful lot and They are not the most “aesthetic” machines.. A Chinese YouTuber has the solution: the Ningtendo PXBOX 5. It is the perfect fusion between the three, and the secret of how it works is in a 2013 Mac. As Jack the Ripper said. Let’s go in parts. We have seen many projects that change the functionality of a console or even turn a PC into a coffee makerbut what the YouTuber has proposed is much more ambitious. To address the space problem, it has united the three consoles into a single tower that, on top of that, is no more bulky than a small PC case. And the first thing is to gut the machines. Image | 小宁子 XNZ At this point, the YouTuber realized the most important thing: without the case, the key parts of the three machines are the fan, the power supply, the aluminum and copper heatsink… and the board, obviously. All components are soldered on the board, so you don’t have to worry about GPU, CPU or RAM memory. Switch 2 is on the sidelines for the moment. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, the essential thing is each one’s board and the rest can be shared. A single supply for both, a single heatsink and a single fan. But… how? The key? Apple. Well, precisely, one of Apple’s most famous computers has the answer. The Mac Pro ‘Trash’ is the 2013 model that has gone down in history for being a complete disaster. I still find its design beautiful, but Apple went overboard with a triple PCB and dual GPU configuration. Precisely, it is the idea he has in his head, so it comes in handy. Inspiration in the Apple heatsink Because? Because Apple designed a double PCB system on a central aluminum heatsink. This way, you can inject fresh air through the heatsink, expelling heat through the top and keeping the plates cool. The question now is how to make an aluminum heatsink that cannot be bought on the market and that would not be viable to print directly on metal (due to costs). Ancient 3D printing technique. Inspired by a wax casting technique from hundreds of years ago, the YouTuber created a heatsink model on a 3D printer. To do this, he used a material called PLA that vaporizes when it reaches a certain temperature. With the PLA “sink” in hand, he wrapped it in plaster and burned it in a 700-degree oven. The PLA mold. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Thus, the plaster remains while the PLA dissolves, allowing an internal structure to remain that can be filled with aluminum. It sounds simple, but he had to remove the air from the plaster with a vacuum machine, melt the aluminum and have an oven that carries out a complex process of dehydration, pyrolysis and combustion for 12 hours to achieve the result. The first attempt at a heatsink turned out okay. Image | 小宁子 XNZ The heatsink already polished. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Then, he “simply” added the aluminum and… the first try didn’t work. Unlike Chinese artisans centuries ago who if they lost a piece they had to re-carve the wax mold, here they simply 3D printed another one and repeated the process. After filing the aluminum, the heatsink was ready. Switch 2 not so much. Place the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of each one (for Internet and connection with accessories) and you connect the only power supply that gives life to both consoles in the base. Switch 2 is a little more complicated. It doesn’t need as much food, so opt for a USB-Cbut also for printing a module that does not sacrifice the mobility of the console. The dock of the new Switch 2 dock. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Here the challenge is to provide connection HDMI for a TV (so the dock hardware is also included inside the console), but also allows you to easily grab the console in case you want to play away from the TV. To do this, he devised a module similar to the dock, but to be placed vertically. The button that ejects the Switch 2. Image | 小宁子 XNZ After trying several conventional springs, the YouTuber printed some in 3D to ensure that, by pressing a button, the console slides as if it were toast so that it appears from the side. It sounds dangerous, but seeing the result, the truth is that the movement is quite smooth. Arduino to the rescue. With all the machines connected to the power, the most important thing remained: program a brain to control the HDMI output and the power. To do this, he used a plate Arduino Conveniently programmed so that, by pressing a button on the top, the signal switches between platforms in less than five seconds. The aluminum heatsink and the copper ones that go directly to the APU of the two consoles with the thermal paste. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Mounting the plates on the heatsink. Image | 小宁子 XNZ It’s not the only thing it does: it also has a front LED connected that changes color (red, blue and green) depending on the console it is running (Switch 2, PS5 or Xbox Series X). Connecting the Arduino board and the Image LED strip. | 小宁子 XNZ THE console. And that’s it, let’s play. The speed at which it changes between the HDMIs is impressive and the creator herself is surprised by the heat it expels through the upper area. Obviously, there are two ‘large’ consoles dissipating the heat and having an aluminum heatsink that, no matter how apparent it may be, has somewhat thick tabs for what is usually … Read more

Gemini 3 has left all its competitors behind. It’s Google’s definitive punch to the table: Crossover 1×32

by

Three years ago, panic on Google. The launch of ChatGPT made Google will declare a “code red” before an AI model that proposed a clear revolution and a clear threat to the search business. Sundar Pichai began to make moves, but the truth is that the first movements with Bard They were disastrous. There were more problems and blundersbut since then Google’s trajectory has been spectacular, and its AI models have not stopped achieving success. We saw it with Gemini 2.5 Pro and with Nano Bananabut now they have proven it again with Gemini 3which has managed to become the model with the best features in most areas, at least according to the benchmarks offered by the company. It is somewhat surprising, especially considering that OpenAI seemed to have controlled the market with a ChatGPT that continues to be more popular but is little by little being cornered by the competition. In fact Google seems to be doing everything right lately in this area. DeepMind is the great reference for “serious AI”and Google’s enormous resources—which has its own cloud, its own chips, and its own model—point to a bright future for this company. We talk about all of this precisely in this episode Crossover 1×32 in which we review those hesitant beginnings of Google and how the company has managed to get rid of its fears to bet everything on AI. That in itself is surprising, because that bet is also risky for them. Exciting times! On YouTube | Crossover

The definitive jump towards the total control of the iPhone

by

Apple has presented the N1 chip next to the iPhone Airthe thinnest phone in its history with only 5.6 millimeters thick. Why it is important. The N1 manages all the wireless connections of the iPhone: Wifi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread. It is the last link in Apple’s strategy to internally design each iPhone component, from the main processor to the modem. The context. Apple has been replacing third -party components with own chips for years. First were the processors to replace Intel. Then came MODEM C1 (now C1X) that displaces Qualcomm. Now the N1 eliminates Broadcom dependence and other wireless chip manufacturers. Between the lines. The obsession with total control is no accident. Each own chip allows impossible optimizations with external components, better benefit margins and elimination of Royalties. Apple promises that N1 improves functions such as Airdrop And the mobile access point, something difficult to get with standard solutions. The threat. For traditional suppliers, each Apple chip is lost territory forever. Broadcom, who dominated this segment, loses one of its most lucrative customers. The employer repeats: Apple develops internally, optimizes for your needs and never goes back. And now what? The N1 debuts on the iPhone Air, but will reach the rest of the range. Apple has shown that when a technology dominates, it extends it to all its products. Absolute hardware control is the basis of its competitive advantage.

The US believes to have the definitive solution to prevent its avant -garde chips for China

by

Despite the efforts you are making The US government to avoid itthe avant -garde GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) that produce nvidia, AMD or brains They continue to arrive in China. Controlling secondary markets and parallel import routes is extremely difficult, especially when they run through countries such as India, Malaysia or Singapore, in which The US action It is very limited. This is the reason why, According to Bloombergthe US Department of Commerce, which is responsible for regulating exports, is considering starting an unpublished strategy. This measure will consist, if it finally comes to fruition, to introduce the technology necessary to allow them to be tracked at all times. A priori would be a form of geolocation that would identify where each integrated circuit resides during its journey once it leaves the semiconductor factory. This strategy raises technical challenges Michael Kratsios, the director of the Office of Scientific and Technological Policy of the White House and one of those responsible for the US government’s action plan for the development of AI, has confirmed that are considering the possibility of introducing tracking solutions both implemented in the hardware and software itself: “We are discussing what software or physical changes could be introduced into the chips themselves to improve the tracking of their location.” The constant tracking by GPS is not practical in this scenario of use, according to Kratsios himself The US administration is determined to protect its current leadership in the development of hardware for AI as the adoption of this technology accelerates throughout the planet. However, implement the solution proposed by Kratsios and other White House advisors It implies important technical challenges. Constant tracking by GPS is not practical in this scenario of use, According to Kratsios himselfso a possible solution is to introduce in each chip the logic necessary to confirm its location periodically. In this way, external networks can be reduced. The problem is that this design increases the complexity of the logic of each chip and can presumably impact its performance, which would penalize its productivity in the calculation centers. In addition, the cost of each GPU will increase and hackers They could find new ways to violate the safety of these chips by resorting to possible weaknesses of tracking logic. All probability to Nvidia, AMD, Intel and other designers and chips manufacturers for this measure will not like them. They will hardly introduce a logic that will make them more vulnerable and make them more vulnerable. His problem is that so far in this area the US government has adopted a little conciliatory position. And it does not seem that your attitude will change.

By assuming 100% of the evening and leaving out Piqué, Ibai culminates its definitive transformation: from Streamer to entrepreneur

by

Of all the projects that currently stands the streamer and Ibai Llanos businessman, no doubt the evening is the one that attracts the most public and media attention. A boxing fight between Influencers which this year will celebrate on July 14 its fifth edition. It comes with novelty: for the first time, Ibai faces this ambitious solo project, separated from its usual partner, Gerard Piqué. Boxing for the masses. The evening Keep growing Without apparent ceiling at the moment. The stuffing day facing Influencers Spanish and Latin American and that This year The clash between Thegrefg and Westcol has as the main course (although others such as the confrontation between Abby and Roro are monopolizing even more media attention) reached In his fourth edition Last year 80,000 live spectators in the Santiago Bernabéu and three million on Twitch. This year the evening moves to the Cartuja of Seville, with a capacity comparable to that of the Madrid stadium. Unexpected split. The great novelty this year comes at the organization level: Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s company that had collaborated with IBAI in the organization of the event, retires from it. In February 2024, Ibai created Velaris-Kena Productions SL, in which it consists as a single partner. It will be the latter in charge of organization of all aspects of evening 5. According to Cincodíasthere will be the punctual collaboration of other companies, such as Kosmos, but Velaris-Kena takes care of the bulk of production. History of collaborations. The collaborations between Ibai and Piqué started in 2021, when they broadcast the Copa América de Fútbol in Port Aventura or the World Balloons. Your first approach to competitions between Streamers It was in 2022, when they organized the Twitch Grand Prix of karts. The failed E-Sports team of Ibai, Koialso had the participation of Kosmos and today is owned by a Canadian group. All this set in a 50%company, Global Goatchthat despite its high billing (around 8 million euros in 2022 and 2023), now it has barely activity. The other great brand they have cultivated together, the Kings Leagueit is actually a Piqué project: Ibai is president of one of the most prominent teams, porcinos FC, but the management and organization of the league falls to the business structure created by Gerard Piqué and his partners. The brand is what you want. The final step that distance to the two entrepreneurs is the registration of the brand La Velada of the year alone by the IBAI company (although, in principle, in February 2024 the registry had been requested by Goatch Global). Later, in October, the company gave ownership to Ibai Llanos, while the US (Intellectual Property Office of the European Union) decided whether to award the brand or not: until March this year, the entity was not clear that a term that seemed generic. Later, he certified, thanks to his turnover, presence in media and unequivocal association of the term “evening” to Ibai, which could be formalized by the registration. More businesses.

Openai and Microsoft are renegotiating The terms of your non-dilio. The artificial intelligence startup recently announced an important change in its restructuring plans, and one of the objectives is that of a potential outlet. To the rhythm they are spending moneybetter that they complete that transition. Profit of profit. Last week OpenAi left his original restructuring plans. Its complex structure makes the “commercial” organization, which we know as OpenAI, is controlled by the non-profit organization (Non-Profit), OpenAi, Inc. Altman’s intention was to completely separate himself from the latter and become a company with profit (“for-profit”) traditional. Money and social good. However, They will become a public benefit corporation controlled by the non -profit organization. This type of entity not only seeks to obtain benefit, but also seeks social good. It is the same model that rivals such as Anthropic or XAI have adopted, and will allow OpenAi to offer their investors a business participation in exchange for their investments. And open the doors to an IPO.. Another of the key elements of the restructuring is that it will allow OpenAI as a public benefit corporation to opt for a public offer of actions to go over. That opens the definitive possibility to obtain funds: sell company participations such as any other company quoted in indexes such as Nasdaq. Microsoft Renegocia. Those renewed Openai intentions have caused them to now maintain a renegotiation of the terms of the alliance with Microsoft.

OpenAi is already giant. In FT they reveal that Openai is valued right now at 260,000 million dollars. However, the recent Softbank investment of 40,000 million dollars in Openai has caused that according to their own responsible Its valuation is 300,000 million dollarsas well as Coca-Cola. The IPO can further shoot its assessment, which is already colossal, thanks to its projection and popularity. But this moment is delicate. Analysts agree that Openai needs to complete that transformation to an entity with profit. If not, I would see future financing rounds committed, especially since companies that bet on OpenAi do it logically with the hope of recovering their investment with juicy benefits. They keep burning money. Meanwhile, in Openai they continue to burn money as if there were no tomorrow to train their generative models. The recent investment round led by SoftBank allows you to continue having a maneuvering room, but in the company they make it clear that they do not expect to have benefits until 2029.

The step to a “For-Profit” structure is intended to endure until then and continue to have access to new funds in the future. It is a risky commitment, but one that can do well can make it a new full rule Big Tech.
