That my mobile can see for me is as scary as fascinating. I have tried Gemini Live’s eyes

by

In December 2024 OpenAi surprised the world with a simply brutal function: Chatgpt had “eyes” and was able to see and interpret the world in real time. The demo was simply impressive: the app, through the camera, could recognize everything I saw. And everything is everything. In early 2025, Google announced great novelty to Gemini Liveyour advanced voice mode. A way that comes to compete directly with this chatgpt function, and that is already available for Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25. As long as you pay the Advanced subscription. I have been able to prove this function in a Google Pixel 9 Pro. And yes, it’s as impressive as you might think. The interface. Acting the new “Vision” modes of Gemini Live is quite simple. You just have to open the app and go to the advanced voice mode (the icon of the lower right corner). Once Gemini Live is opened, you will see two new direct accesses: one to give access to the camera and another to give access to your screen. Because yes, you can also read the content of the screen in real time. Camera mode. When activating the camera mode, Gemini will see everything that the camera transmits. It is simply spectacular how it is capable of recognizing absolutely everything, and how quickly is recognizing concrete aspects such as plant types, technological device model (without putting anything in it). We can ask you everything, and it serves as a guide, translator and … private professor. The latter has seemed spectacular: solve equations, psychotechnical problems and all kinds of questions explaining the step by step. Screen mode. This mode is perhaps the most movie at the privacy level but, if we are willing, Gemini is able to read everything you see on the screen. We can ask you any issues related to it. In this case I have not seemed so useful, since Google Lens gives us in a look at the necessary information if we are looking for something in particular. However, it is another sample of Gemini’s new potential. Do not trust AI, never. As always with AI, the recommendation is not to trust it. It is curious as, in a general plane of my desk, he has been able to perfectly recognize my computer. However, by focusing it directly, he told me that he did not see any computer. I have helped him asking if he is a Mac Mini M1 or a M4… and the answer has been that an M1 (they are very easily distinguishable by ports and size). He has also been wrong reading some numbers when asked about some psychotechnical test and, ultimately, you have to be quite above so that it works well. Nor of your questions. The problem shared by Gemini Live and GPT’s advanced conversation mode is clear: they are too much ask. To foster conversation, the answers with a question always end, something especially annoying in this mode of vision. It is very difficult to get to the grain, since it usually interrupts the complete answer with some question. It is still a smaller problem shared with all AI, but breaks the conversational flow a bit. Despite this, Gemini Live’s vision seems barbaric.

The most fascinating adventure program is a Spanish Tiktoker who is traveling to Japan with a 1998 Fiat

by

Fabio Bell is a influencer That, under the nick Volatadipuca It has been specialized in publishing videos about cars and trips on their social networks. He has made routes through countries such as New Zealand or India, as well as by Route 66 North American, and on his channel combines from cars reviews to interviews with vehicle owners of very diverse characteristics. His last idea, however, is the one that is attracting more attention: to travel from Spain to Japan in a Fiat Marea of ​​98. Planazo. Camperize the car To make life in him, advance everything that can be (on day 1, from Barcelona to Monaco, for example), three months planned at the wheel to travel 14,500 kilometers. At the moment it has been (almost for Serbia) and every day a video summary is uploading that in some cases almost four million visualizations. The inaugural video of the trip, the most viral, reached almost 10 million visualizations. In it, he told his more than 411,000 followers how he withdrew the seats on the right side to install a bed, installed a baca and supplied 20 liters of diesel and a spare wheel. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok I tell you my trip. For some years, travel Tiktokers have become one of the most famous content on social networks. From adventure to more urban environments, there are more specialized ones (@Racherrosargentinos They only make natural scenarios from South America) and more spectacular (@Jacktravelworld Use drones and film plans, which has won more than 400,000 followers), going through those who have a more practical and earthly approach (@Alanxelmundo It focuses on recommendations and advice for those who want to make their own trips). @volatadipuca I think we all wanted a second season with the tide. This time, a little more beast than the previous one. In total there will be 22 countries, 12 currencies and 25,000km, for 3 months. Good luck to all #Nippon #Coches #trips ♬ Original Sound – Fabio Belnome The travel tiktoks phenomenon. Tiktok has become one of the key media to show trips: the hashtag #tikToktravel, for example, has More than 23,000 million viewsbecause the creators who make content for this niche take, often, extreme views: trips linked to adventure, others very strict in the sustainable and ecological aspect (often out of reach of the average user) or, quite the opposite, luxury destinations and unique experiences. Travel Tiktoks offer the type of experiences that the common of mortals will not do, and in that section is, of course, go to Japan in a car. Out risks. Travel Tiktoks consumer can enjoy trips without assuming the risks of the most adventurous creators, such as Alpinisya @Nimsdaithe urban explorer @Shieyfreedom or the traveler to high -risk countries @drew_binsky. Recall that many of these Tiktokers, like @RemnigmaWang Yongning or Sofia Cheung died while recording extreme challenges and trips. However, we can share their emotions to the limit without any risk, which explains Gherem’s success as Belnome. That, but by car. What does Belnome do what distinguishes it from other travel Tiktokers? Without a doubt, the idea of ​​remodeling an old car and using it as a literal engine of its journey. In each video he remembers that it cost him 900 euros in Wallapop, and dedicated several deliveries to comment on how he was repairing and preparing for the trip, in addition to going through the corresponding reviews and ITVs. In addition, it gives a unique suspense touch to the trip: in the first video the engine is heated excessively, and in the second it is already removing the temperature sensor so that the fan works continuously. Each new installment is a “Will it stay lying today?” That they do not have the rest of the Tiktokers of their guild, which brings you closer to adventure Tiktokers than those of travel. The attractiveness of the car that nobody wants. However, we are not talking about a classic car or a car Vintageone of those models that, repaired, fascinate for their design or their benefits. We talked about a Fiat Marea, a car that the Italian brand began to manufacture in 1995 and that, in effect, is not especially attractive or sophisticated. Belnome’s message seems to be rather “I travel to Japan uploaded in the first thing that Pillo”, and given how the engine is heated, the vehicle seems a challenge rather than a real aid. Something that, without a doubt, Belnome also uses so that the risk plays in his favor and in that of his channel.

Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, there is one that we do not know where it is. That makes it the most fascinating of all

by

Of the Seven wonders of the world Old, alone The Great Guiza Pyramid is still standing. The others, destroyed since ancient times, They have left archaeological traces or detailed historical records. Except for one: The pendant gardens of Babylon. The structure is still involved in an enigma: without conclusive archaeological evidence or mentions in contemporary Babylonian inscriptions, its existence is a subject of speculation among historians. Between the myth and the lost wonder. The pendant gardens of Babylon have been for centuries A symbol of greatness and ingenuity of antiquity. The best known version says that They were supposedly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century ac As a gift for his wife Amytis, who missed the vegetation of his homeland. We talked about gardens that were described as a feat of engineering, with terraces covered with lush vegetation and an advanced irrigation system. The problem? That as we said, despite their status as One of the seven wonders of the ancient worldwe don’t have Not a single conclusive archaeological test that once existedwhich has generated a debate about whether they were a tangible reality or simply a historical exaggeration. Moreover, Not even Herodoto, the “father of history”, mentions them in His descriptions of Babylon. Plus: The sources that support this theory are Greek and Roman, written centuries after the supposed existence of the gardens. In this regard, Flavio Josephus, based on the Babylonian Babylonian priest, described a “pendant paradise” within the walls of Babylonbut, again, without contemporary evidence, this story remains uncertain. Babylon: the city (above); The pendant gardens of Babylon (below) The mystery of its location. Although tradition places the gardens in Babylon, near the current to Hillah in Iraq, excavations have not found concrete evidence of it. The German archaeologist Robert Koldewey thought he had found his foundations in a vaulted structure In the South Palace, with robust walls and evidence of wells, but today most experts rule out this theory, suggesting that it was actually a warehouse. Gardens Representation Another hypothesis. Raised by academic Stephanie Dalleyfrom the University of Oxford, the story suggests that the hanging gardens They were not in Babylon, but in Nineive, north of Mesopotamiaand that they were the work of King Assyrian Senaquerib. According to their analysis of cuneiform inscriptions and reliefs that show channels and vegetation in Nineveh, the Assyrians would have built monumental gardens with an advanced system of aqueducts and water elevation. The “but”: the confusion in this case, Dalley holdsit originated when the Assyrians conquered Babylon in the 689 AC, Reboutizing Nineve. In other words, this theory raises the possibility that ancient historians confused the monarchs and territories in their stories. So myth or reality? As we said, the descriptions of the gardens They speak of a series of terraces supported by stone columns and a complex hydraulic system that allowed irrigation in full desert. Some scholars consider that such structure would have been difficult to sustain with the technology available at the time, which reinforces the possibility that its existence could have been a propaganda myth to enlarge the power of Babylon. The unfathomable wonder. Thus, if the gardens really existed, their disappearance remains a real mystery. Estrabón mentioned that for the first century ac were in ruinsand some suggest that Alexander the Great planned to restore them before his death. Over time, as some point, changes in the course of the Euphrates River could have buried any evidence underwater. If you want also, and despite uncertainty, The legend of hanging gardens He has endured as a kind of symbol of human ambition to create beauty in hostile environments. Be a myth or a lost wonder, its history continues to captivate generations of explorers, historians and dreamers. At least, a privileged place in history has been secured as The most enigmatic of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

The fascinating network of “Arab Cuevas”

by

Brihuega is the name of a municipality in Guadalajara that may not tell you anything. But it may sound to you if I tell you that it is the ‘Spanish lavender capital‘. This town of the Alcarriaof just 2,800 inhabitants, multiply its population during July thanks to Lavender festival. But under the surface of Brihuega There is more, much more: Almost eight kilometers of tunnels that make up the largest underground labyrinth in Spain. Arab Caves. The caves, tunnels or galleries always have a fascinating point. They are natural or excavated by humans, imagine the stories that occurred among its narrow walls always have a point of attractiveness. Visit a mine, How can Almadén’sIt is always interesting … and a business. Capadocia with its secret citiesAnd tunnels knows it well, but it turns out that you don’t have to go to Türkiye to see something similar. Between the 10th and XI centuries, in the municipality of Brihuega, the inhabitants They built An intricate tunnel system. It is a complex maze of about eight kilometers in total that travel practically the entire subsoil of the town, as well as parts that give abroad. And, although they are called ‘Arab caves’, the symbology found in the galleries is not Mudejar. War and peace. As in this type of structures, they are naturally protected from inclement and a constant temperature of about 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year is maintained. This allows, traditionally, galleries have been used as a food warehouse. In some parts of the tour, in fact, you can see great jars that would have been used to store food or drink, each with the potter’s label that built them. However, they have not only used in peace times, and they will probably be initially built as an escape and refuge. Brihuega was a Strategic point In the face of toledo by Christians in the reconquest, and what allowed the tunnels was that, in times of siege, the population could escape outside the perimeter of the walls. Brihuega also witnessed a homonymous battle in December 1710, during the Spanish Succession War. Civil war. Let’s say that, in any conflict of this type, the population has an insured escape and refuge, and it is something that they also took advantage of during the civil war. During the conflict, one of the battles was to Guadalajara. In March 1937, the nationalist troops, with the support of Italian forces and tanks, tried to penetrate Madrid through the north. In a Televisilla-La Mancha television report, it is noted that there are parts near the breathing rooms that have soot on the roofs. They are the points where the population, taking refuge from the siege of the Italian troops, lit fires to cook and heat. Tourist interest. Currently, Brihuega caves are the memory that the history of some cities is not only on the surface, but unfortunately you cannot travel the eight kilometers of galleries. They have only enabled about 700 meters for visits subject to schedule and payment of three euros per person. The tour lasts a little less than half an hour and it is always interesting to visit these sites … unless you have claustrophobia.
