Several newspapers published their 15 favorite books for this summer. 10 of them had invented the AI

by

Summer approaches, and with it, the inevitable recommendations of the best books, series and films with which to invest our time. Lists that we understand that they are elaborated by experts in this type of suggestions, although it is not always so. In fact, they are sometimes elaborated by artificial intelligences. And sometimes, the results are as disastrous as delusions. It has been AI. This is what the ‘Chicago Sun-Times’ readers have found (and many other newspapers in the United States with that union content) in the supplement ‘The best of summer’, published last weekend. In it, an article with fifteen book recommendations for heat months: ten of them are false, although curiously, their authors are authentic. The person in charge, Marco Buscaglia, recognizes 404 average that has used AI To elaborate it: “Sometimes I use AI as support, but I always check the material first. This time I did not do it and I cannot believe that it would happen to me because it is very obvious. There are no excuses. The fault is mine one hundred percent and I am completely embarrassed.” A couple of examples. Among the most striking books recommended by the list is ‘Tidewater Dreams’ by Isabel Allende, who significantly has just published a book, ‘My name is Emilia del Valle’. The article also recommends the new Andy Weir, author of ‘The Martian’ who titled ‘The Last Algorithm’. It is interesting because the description made of the previous work of the authors is correct, and the synopsis that invents could be true. But they are not. The list of authors continues with people like percival Everett, Ray Bradbury or Jess Walter. Confusion to many levels. According to They have investigated in 404 averageGoogle’s AI gives as authentic that same false book of Isabel Allende (although at this time, the search for ‘tidewater Dreams’ throws, above all, results that report on the Chicago fiasco of Chicago Sun-Times). It’s about a significant fact: it has not transcended what the article elaborated with the article, but as It is increasingly patentthe search for documentation and reliable data between these systems that are feedback begins to be a real mines field. Multiple hallucinations. This is one of the first times in which these problems with the veracity of the results of the AI ​​transcend into the physical world. But Internet users have been suffering from it for a long time: a Reddit comment 11 years ago has traveled to the present, and Google’s AI recommended in a recipe Use pizza cheese glue. Before that, in 2023, Google’s primitive AI I dropped Alphabet for your incorrect answers. The stories are multiple, especially in Google searches (we do not enter the “hallucinations” of chatgpt): Present as real a story of the Day of the Innocents to Invent meaning for invented phrases. Read a lot, read anything. Under what is still a concatenation of capital errors and lack of professionalism not only at the level of the editor, but also to that of the Many intermediate stages that must approve that list, throbb another circumstance. Reading has soaked from cultural exhibitionism that we continue with movies, series or video games. It is no longer about reading what we want, but to mark the greatest amount of boxes on the list of “what you have to read” what We are commissioned by the Booktokers on duty. Reading is cool, even if the book is a lie. The phenomenon of Fomented Reading Clubs by Dua LipaSarah Jessica Parker or Reese Whitherspoon are the best proof that books are no longer a library mice. Reading is cool and sexy againbut it is not enough to experience it: you have to prove it. Like the Marvel movies or the fashion series this week, Read has become the topic of conversation of the momentand that generates monsters like this invented list: there are plenty of books because the SATURY INDUSTRY. But in case with that we fell short, we invented more books. Header | Marcel Strauß in Unspash

Disney has always been the favorite entertainment of children. Now he is being razed by YouTube

by

Although the last financial results of Disney They showed an upward trend from which they may be proud, with a growth of the benefits of 5% and an arrival finally of profitability in the sector of the streamingDisney’s creative crisis is something that has been discussing for months. And an extra detail is added to it, which does not stop strengthening an idea that, despite the numbers, is around the company: Disney are no longer interested. Disney Channel debacle. Disney has been, of a lifetime, the brand par excellence of child entertainment. And although the numbers endorse their financial health, certain signals point to the loss of interest of their most active and desirable audience, children. One of these signs was the Disney Channel closure in many countriesamong them Spain, at the end of last year. The traditional entrance door to Emporio Disney has fallen, since its position among the top 10 chains, with almost 2 million average daily spectators in 2014, to number 80 in 2023, According to Nielsen. Children matter. Who wants children if they have nostalgic adults, we could ask ourselves? Very simple: Children are the very important two -legged engine of the business: parks and merchandising, which together with the cruises are part of a third of the business (the other two are entertainment and sports). And although cinema and streaming contributed in 2024 45% of the benefits to Disney, experiences are a very close 37%. Of course, a wing of the income they cannot give up. Experiences, by the way, that are also adults without children. Adults also matter, but less. Children are also indicative of an aspect of the Disney Fandom to which everyone looks at: the renewal of spectators and consumers. The new blood that makes the continuous flow of spectators and clients stagnate. For example, The recent ‘Thunderbolts‘, apart from having a predominantly male audience, most were adults: 70% of their audience was over 25 years. He nostalgia factor Marvel and ‘Star Wars’ has a side effect: the progressive and inevitable aging of the public. YouTube, the new normality. The key to this loss of interest in Disney by children is how they are moving to more versatile platforms, less rigid, such as YouTube. They prefer to see shorts instead of movies or series, and the numbers are evident: in Nielsen data than Business Insider rescuedchildren from 2 to 11 years old saw three times more videos on YouTube last year than in Disney+. Disney herself seemed to prove this problem in 2022, when she said that more than 60% of Disney+ subscribers were adults without children. The algorithmic content is the most. The world’s most watched programs for children are on YouTube and are optimized algorithmically so that these visits do not stop growing and small spectators stay longer. Key factors such as the duration of visualization, colors, music and narrative structures are learned by the algorithm, which outlines the programs almost in real time. Thus successes work as Cocomelónwith 196 million subscribers, or Kids Diana Showwith 134 million. One of the most recent channels, Vlad and Nikialready takes the lead with 140 million and a very quick growth. Next to them they continue to win classics like Baby Shark. Disney to rescue. To try to solve this issue, Disney has undertaken a series of maneuvers to attract the youngest public, even if it is unable to compete with algorithmic modifications almost in real time. Among those maneuvers is the arrival of ‘Bluey‘A Disney+, one of his most successful licenses and that, According to Nielsenbecame the series of streaming more viewed of 2024. its multimedia incursions in franchises very dear to children, such as ‘Fortnite’ (which welcomed a few weeks ago To a new Skins, mechanical avalanche and battle passes from ‘Star Wars’) also go in that direction. A future oriented to children. In recent months, Disney has been releasing series specifically designed for children based on their successful franchises, such as ‘the adventures of young Jedi’ or ‘Spidey and their superequipo’. It is one of the great needs of the entertainment giant: bring children closer to their own brands, beyond successful licenses such as ‘Bluey’. This depends on survival in a panorama where, despite the kindness and color of the products, the battle is absolutely ruthless.

He is choosing 11 cardinals and the favorite to be a potato

by

He Death of a Pope It is more than a political and social event of international interest. It is also a key turning point for popular culture, as demonstrated by the renewed interest in the movie ‘Conclave’ or the birth of ‘Fantapapa‘, a simulation of the Pope’s choice in Fantasy style. That is, an online game in which participants create and manage virtual football teams formed by real players. Only here those who face are the candidates to become a pope. How to be dad. Each player has at his disposal the complete list of cardinals who opt for the papacy, and has to form a team of 11 cardinals. Among them a captain is chosen, who is considered to be the most chance of being chosen. The goalkeeper position is left for those who are believed to have less possibilities. From there, the game gives extra points to the players who hit the name of the new Pope, his order, the number of rounds necessary for the election or the date on which we will see the white smoking. I bet a Pope. From the moment of the death of the Pope, bets have happened around his possible successor. There are two great sides in this fight, traditionalists and progressive. And beyond that, a lot of names that sound in the pools: the Philippine Luis Antonio Taglethe Ghanaian Peter Turkssonthe Portuguese José Tolentino de Mendonçathe Italians Pietro Parolin and Matteo Zuppithe Hungarian Peter Erdothe Dutchman Willem Eijkthe American R. Leo Burkethe German Gerhard Müllerthe Maltese Mario Grech or the Canadian Marc Ouellet. 80,000 tifosi of the Pope. It is the number of people who are playing this title Free and onlinewhich assimilates one of the most eminently Italian passions, football, to give it a turn towards the event of the moment, removing all kinds of solemnity and transcendence. For example, A week ago The game of the game published a top of the candidates most voted by the players as if it were the classification of a football team. And by then, the game only added 30,000 users, before, according to its creators, it arrived A large number of Spanish subscribers. Only fun. Although fantasy type games are often created to promote bets (and although the papal conclave has generated its own phenomenon linked to bets) There are no monetary awards for the winners of ‘Fantapapa’. The creators of the game, an AI expert and a video game developer, put the game standing as An idea for use of friends and familyand went viral thanks to the attention of the media. His inspiration were Italian fantasy games such as ‘Fantacalcio’, about the Soccer League, and ‘Fantasanremo’, on the popular melodic song festival. Custom football. In a country as devout football as Spain, fantasy -like games have been living for years strong predicament. The first outbreak of the genre, and perhaps the eldest that has been lived in the history of these games, was in 2001 with the Fantastic Liga brand, where LaLiga players could be chosen to participate in private leagues. To this first advance of the genre came platforms such as Community or Biwenger (currently The most played fantasy), among otherswhich added elements that sophisticated the game. such as the participation of virtual communities or the inclusion of the transfers market (which granted economic value to players). The controversy of bets. A few years ago We talked How in the United States, Fantasy type games, through platforms such as Draftkings either Fanduelthey were avoiding betting laws, partly perverting the merely playful origins of the fantasy sports in the sixties. That controversy has partially sent thanks to the hardening of online betting laws. Controversies that, in any case, are far from the proposal of ‘Fantapapa’, pure and innocent Rolera fantasy that allows users to experience, strategic code, the dynamics of the papal conclave.

The “eternal chemicals” are already everywhere. And that includes one of our favorite places: Spanish wine

by

The “eternal chemicals” have become a hot issue. These chemicals are widely used in a variety of contexts but their increasingly common presence in the environment worries both environmentalists and the health sector. And for now we know little about the possible impact of these substances on the health of people and in ecosystems. “Eternal” chemicals in wine. A study by the environmental association European bread(PHASE Action Network Europe) He has warned of the presence in the European wine of one of the substances we usually refer to as “eternal chemicals”: trifluoroacetic acid. PFAS and TFA. PFAS are the acronym with which we often refer to the category of perfluoroalized and polyfluoralized substances. It is a family of synthetic molecules (there are about 4,700 compounds of this type) that stand out for resistance that imbues the union between fluorine and carbon atoms. These compounds They are useful For example, in the manufacture of non -stick objects, but they can also be found in pesticides, containers or hygiene products. This is a molecular union Extremely stabledoes not react to external agents so it is extremely difficult to make these substances decompose, either by natural processes or otherwise. That is why these substances tend to accumulate in nature and, potentially, in our body. Interestingly, one of the problems with these substances is in one of the products as a result of the decomposition of the PFAS, the trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This is precisely the “eternal chemist” on which the new study has focused. 49 wines. The analysis It began with a dozen Austrian wines of relatively old vintages and was expanding to include more recent crops and other countries. In total, 49 wines were analyzed, including at least one produced in Spain. They observed that wines prior to 1988 They did not contain traces of TFAbut that from that year the concentrations were increasing, first little by little and, as of 2010, significantly. The average concentrations in the vines of vintages between 2021 and 2024 was 122 µg/l, although peaks of up to 300 µg/l were detected. Although the phenomenon extended throughout Europe, the team indicated that Austrian wines were the most affected. Other Detail highlighted By the association it was the correlation between the concentrations of TFA and waste of synthetic pesticides. Ecological production The study of European bread He noted that ecological production wines also did not get rid of the presence of these substances, although it is true that they showed some concentrations less than those found in other wines. To what extent are a risk? Today we do not know for sure the effects of “eternal chemicals” on our health, but there are some indications that allow us to get an idea of ​​these possible effects. TFA has been linked, for example, problems for Fertility; But other compounds of this family have also been related to immune problems and even a greater risk of cancer.

How Spain is putting aside to your favorite measure to drink beer

by

We Spaniards like to practice Terraceo with friendsa skewer and a good beer, but that It does not mean That we do it the same throughout Spain. Not even what The beer jargon be the same throughout the country. Especially if we talk about tap beer. Moreover, if you move frequently from north to south it is likely that you have found that not all waiters seem to use the same terms or even how the same word can mean different things, understanding by “different” the milliliters that you will find in the glass. In case that “Babel Torre” was not enough, now (at least In part of Spain) There is an upward option: the cup, something that tells us about beer but also how we drink it and formats beyond the star measure, cane. Spain, beer land. We Spaniards like beer. And that statement has few laps because it relies on contributing data and sounds collected by the sector itself. In 2023 its consumption stood around 43 million of hectoliters, with an average intake of 55 l per person. In fact (and although demand It has ups and downs) Its consumption has been winning weight In front of the wine, also linked to the Spanish table. That we like to take a good lager or IPA does not mean that everywhere you drink (and ask for) the same. Map prepared by brewers of Spain. How do you drink in Spain? That same question was asked a few years ago Brewers from Spainthe association that groups the great producers of the country, after verifying that although a beer is a beer anywhere in Spain, the thing changes when we talk about how to serve it. “Depending on the format we want and the area, an act as simple and everyday as asking for a beer, if it is not done correctly, it can become a real challenge,” Recognize. Where is a good map … To clear doubts, Cervecer did two things: he created A glossary and a map that helps appreciate how beers usually drink) throughout the country. The graph should be handled however with some caution. For example, the association recalls that although in Salamanca or Valladolid, tap beer is usually used in vessels between 100 and 140 ml called “short”, in Galicia that same word refers to “the lifetime cane”, a major format. If you are in the Basque Country, you better call it “Zurito.” Or “penalty” in Aragon. And that’s all? No. The cane is the “par excellence” format and that word understands it in virtually all the businesses of Spain, but manufacturers warn: “While in areas such as Madrid the glass measure is 200 ml, in other places the size is superior. Thus, if a Basque wants to take the 350 of a Basque cane in Madrid will have to ask for a double, the most similar measure.” Since the cane usually moves around 200 ml, the normal thing would be that the double was 400 ml, but that logic has nuances again. In Basque Country if we want that amount of beer drink, it advises to use another term: “Canyon.” The wide brewing glossary is completed with words such as “Botellín”, “fifth” or “third”, which are the terms used for bottles depending on whether you want the fifth part or a third of liter. The thing is complicated, however, with exceptions: Asturias, Cantabria or Catalonia use terms as “average” or “median.” If you are looking for you will even find guides who speak of 25 either 30 forms To ask for beer, including “pots”, “botijos”, “tank” or “xibeca”. Complicated? There are more. In case the “photography” was not complex enough, at least in part of Spain it is being added An extra factor: The form. That is, the key is no longer how much or how we drink beer, but what we drink it. That is: glass or glass. The nuance is interesting and slid yesterday The voice of Galicia in An article in which he explains how in Santiago de Compostela it is increasingly common to see people with beers in the glass instead of a glass. The question is evident: “Why do the reeds serve as if they were a wine?” After talking with compostela hoteliers, the newspaper Slide Some practical explanations: the glasses are easier to store (they can be hung upside down) and there are those who defend that they help preserve the organoleptic properties of beer. In fact there are places that San Cups designed for the Lager. “Optimal formats”. “The crystal is quite broken and you have to replace, but it is the best form”, They argue From a compostelano store. Galicia star itself claims That each beer has “its cup” and details the differences of form and use between the flute (15-40 CL), the Pilsner vessel (15-40), the tulip (20-50), Weizen (30-50), Snifter (30-50), chalice (30-50) or the teku, used in tastings and between 33 and 50 cl. “If we leave aside its aesthetic or historical component, it cannot be denied that some formats are optimal for certain styles,” The company points out. Cup question … And something else. In the passage of the vessels to the glasses there is, however, another factor that speaks, rather than the bars or beer itself, how we enjoy it. One of Santiago’s hoteliers in fact explains that there are clients who ask them to serve the cane in a glass of wine, either because the glass is finer or for quantity. “The wine brings between 44 and 52 CL and the cane is 33,” clarifies the hotelier, who denies that the cane has less amount than a bottle. The slow decline of the cane. The phenomenon also coincides with an apparent decay of the cane and other reduced formats in favor of others of larger. Two years ago Straight to the palate I pointed Already as many bars in Madrid (and other points in Spain) were going from the standard … Read more

Agents are the great promise of AI. They also aim to become the new favorite weapon of cybercounts

by

The AI ​​agents are not the future: they are here. While chatbots like Chatgpt either Gemini They continue to gain ground in tasks that range from solving daily doubts to help you in programming tasks, large technological ones have begun to take determined steps towards a new generation of much more promising systems. They are able to execute tasks, make decisions and adapt to the environment. They not only respond: they act. And that change is presented as a very powerful advance. OpenAi is developing Operatoran assistant who can navigate pages, book trips or manage files. Anthropic proves your own agent with similar functions in controlled environments. Google works in Jarvis, his future digital butler. The idea is clear: delegate real tasks in artificial intelligences. But that same autonomy that makes them useful allies also makes them a potential risk for cybersecurity. Dangerous autonomy. Unlike traditional bots, AI agents are not limited to predefined instructions. They can control an operating system or make decisions depending on the context. In wrong hands, this autonomy could facilitate complex attacks without the need for human experts. Some laboratory tests already show how these models can replicate operations that previously required advanced technical knowledgesuch as automating spying tasks or manipulating system configurations. The threat begins to appear. Although there is no evidence that they are involved in large -scale cyber attacks, signs have begun to appear. Platforms like LLM Agent Honeypot, designed to detect suspicious accesses, have registered interactions with possible AI agents. In two confirmed cases, the agents responded to instructions embedded with a typical speed of language models, which points to their growing sophistication. We do not talk about organized offensives yet, but of an increasingly real phase. Cheaper, faster, more scalable. As Mit Technology Review points outone of the biggest risks is the potential for climbing. An agent can execute automated actions hundreds of times by a fraction of the cost of a human team. For criminals, that means expanding operations with unprecedented efficiency. If today the mass attacks require investment and specialized personnel, tomorrow they could be launched automatically, selecting objectives and exploring vulnerabilities without constant supervision. LLM Agent Honeypot operation operation scheme Detecting them is not so easy. Although current cybersecurity tools are effective against sophisticated threats, agents introduce a new type of challenge. Unlike classic malware, these systems can reason, adapt to the environment and modify their real -time behavior. This ability to mimic with legitimate traffic forces to rethink detection methods and to develop specific techniques to identify patterns of artificial intelligence. The industry is still exploring how far these systems can go. Some investigations show that, given ambiguous instructions, certain agents can execute unexpected actions. Although they still need human support to complete complex attacks, their evolution is rapid. And the most disturbing is not what they can do today, but what they could do tomorrow. And they will do it in an increasingly adverse scenario. According to checkpoint datain the third quarter of 2024, cyber attacks increased 75% compared to the same period of the previous year. Each organization suffered on average 1,876 weekly attacks. Sectors such as education, government or health are among the most beaten, and regions such as Africa, Europe and Latin America registered alarming growth. The hardware industry, for example, saw the attacks grow by 191% in just one year. More than 1,200 ransomware incidents were reported only in that quarter, mainly affecting manufacturers, hospitals and public administrations. If these types of attacks are delegated to AI agents capable of selecting objectives and launching chain offensives, the impact could be shot. The global panorama is tense, and the agents could be the multiplier that the attackers were waiting.

NASA has cut 420 million dollars following Doge’s guidelines. It is Elon Musk’s favorite number

by

NASA has announced a 420 million dollar cut in consulting contracts and other suppliers. It is a strangely familiar number. A cut commanded by Doge. Although NASA has not given many details, the contracts to be cut are considered “redundant” or “misaligned with the essential priorities” of the agency, following the guidelines of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), the auditor body created by Donald Trump and headed by Elon Musk. From canceled contracts, the largest cut comes from the NASA socio -economic application and data center, valued at about 30 million dollars, although with an effective savings of 19.4 million. Other of the confirmed cancellations are four agreements of 15 million dollars each with the firms of consulting Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, Guidehouse and McKinsey & Co. The termination of these and other contracts will mean a saving of 420 million dollars for NASA. Elon Musk’s favorite number. There is an extraordinary coincidence in this matter and it is Elon Musk’s love for number 420. The founder of Spacex He likes to remember which was born 69 days after April 20 (4/20, in American format). But the number 420 became more present in his life since a club was smoked during the Joe Rogan podcast. “420” It is a reference to the “time of smoking marijuana”, 4 and 20 in the afternoon. For Musk also represents the day that He withdrew the verified blue check to X users who had it for free since the time of Twitter (04/20/2023). Wave First starship in history to be stacked (Booster 4 + Ship 20). Or one of the most transcendental tweets of his career: when he announced that I was going to privatize Tesla at a price of $ 420 per share. NASA scientists are worried. While only consulting cuts have transcended, the scientific community that depends on the space agency is concerned about the possibility of even greater or layoffs (of which NASA, for now, for now only He has seen 23 for the closure of three offices). Although less affected than diversity programs, Doge cuts also focus on branches of health, climate and natural resources, which NASA investigates. In addition, it is rumored that the 2026 budget for the agency’s scientific programs could be drastically reduced (up to 50%, According to Space News). Musk’s conflict of interest. While Doge is not an official government department, and therefore Elon Musk is not a senior official, the most complicated issue of all is that the employer is positioned to obtain multimillionaire contracts from the federal government. The Pentagon has already demonstrated its interest in Starship as a military transport, and NASA depends on the rocket to take astronauts to the moon. Starlink is also a key strategic asset for the United States, and Spacex is building a spy version called Starshield for the NRO. Finally, Trump’s nominee to direct NASA is Jared Isaacman, Musk’s commercial partner in two of Spacex’s most important commercial missions.

‘Anora’ is the big favorite to take the Oscar for the best film. The problem is that it has the voting system against

by

‘Anora’ starts in the pools as a great favorite to take the main Oscar of the night, the best film. However, The Oscars They are much more than a mere vote that chooses the film of the year: they come into play not only the millionaire advertising campaigns that are talked about so much (which also), but models of mathematical probability and the same voting system, which do not always favor the favorite of the simple majority of academics. The pretty girl. ‘Anora‘It is Sean Baker’s film, an old acquaintance of fans of the independent cinema zone. Some of its previous proposals, such as ‘The Florida Project’ and ‘Red Rocket’they raised praise among the specialized press, but with this story of a young Brooklyn prostitute who lives his own history Cinderella when he knows and marries the son of a Russian oligarch who intends to end romance, has revolutionized the awards season. The film won the gold palm in Cannes and Dos Bafta, was nominated for five Gold balloons And now she is nominated for six Oscar, including best film, director, actress and original script. ‘Anora’, the independent tradition. ‘Anora ‘continues Oscar’s tradition to reward small and modest movies, looking for a quality patina indie that Hollywood industry is excited since the time of The infamous Miramaxand that has made films like ‘in recent yearsAll at once everywhere‘(2022),’Coda‘(2021),’Nomadland‘(2020) or’Parasites‘(2019). The winner of 2018, ‘Green Book’, was only indie in aesthetic terms, but still, is a streak of victories outside the industry that only broke ‘Oppenheimer‘ last year. The numbers speak. In addition to the recent trend of the Oscars, dyed of a certain condescension, to reward independent films, we have the purest mathematics: The Hollywood Reporter used the probability laws To make the calculation and ‘Anora’ was well above its competitors: 52% possibilities, overwhelming the second in the list, ‘Conclave‘, which was left with 15.2%. The reason? The ‘Anora’ awards streak in the Critics Choice, Producers Guild and director’s Guild. Less colorful than the Golden Globes, but according to statistics, infallible when opening via for the Oscar (let’s not forget that on many occasions the voters coincide). Percentages against competitors. These statistics in favor of ‘Anora’ are increased when those same numbers play against their competitors. For example, only seven films have won an Oscar for the best film without having the direction nomination, as happens to ‘Conclave’. ‘The Brutalist‘It is one of the favorites, but never a movie without the SAG prize or An Eddie (The US editors awards) has won the main Oscar. ‘Emilia Pérez’ had everything in favor with the Golden Globes, but Reality has passed over. Already ‘A Complete Unknown‘It has not gone wrong with other awards, but in any other gala the best film has been taken, something that greatly reduces its possibilities. But if everything is in his favor … Ya: Why are the real probabilities of ‘anara’ are smaller than, for example, those of ‘conclave’? The voting system for best film is called “Preferred System”, and with it the voters are asked to classify the nominated films from the greatest to less preference. If a film gets more than 50% of the votes (something very unlikely), automatically wins the prize. But if not, the following process is carried out: the film with less votes redistributes its ballots among the second most voted film of the members who had placed it in number one. It is done with all, until a film exceeds 50%. The terrible consensus. The idea with this system is to reward the favorite film by consensus, one that most of the members of the academy would consider their favorite. The result is that the films that go to the extremes are less likely: ‘Anara’ will be the favorite of many, but because of their theme and indies modes, it will also be among the least favorite of many others. This system rewards, in effect, the consensus, which is another way of saying that it rewards the middle ground. In that sense, it is ‘conclave’ that will benefit: a very little annoying movie, which many will have liked, but few have liked very little. The danger of controversy. Something similar to ‘Anora’ will happen to films such as ‘Emilia Pérez’, one of the favorites before the successive bombings of Karla Sofía Gascón. EITHER ‘WICKED‘, which belongs to a genre with as many defenders as detractors. Or, of course, ‘Dune 2‘ either ‘The substance‘, which only to belong to the categories of horror and science fiction will receive very low scores of the less daring faction of academics. In that sense, and except for exceptions (it is clear that ‘anora’ has possibilities, despite everything) the Oscars almost always reward the low risk. Nothing new under the sun.

Queen Letizia’s favorite complement in 2025 is this: very comfortable and versatile

by

The agenda of institutional commitments of Queen Letizia In 2025 it opened on January 6 on the occasion of the Military Easter celebration. From that day and officially, King Felipe VI’s wife has shown us 5 different looksof which 2 of them connect through the same shoe model: Spanish, comfortable and very easy to combine. Here we reveal all the details of this accessory and the footwear that, also being very functional, has worn in its other two styles in this new year. © Getty Images The shoe Clear of Magrit In the Royal Palace of Madrid, Doña Letizia officially welcomed 2025 with her appearance in the military Easter, where King Felipe VI and Princess Leonor was also present. That day, coinciding with the celebration of the Kings Day, the queen premiered a Spanish shoe in Bordeaux Color of Magrit (290 246.50 euros). Specifically, it was the model Clearwhich is characterized by having aphine tip, being made of leather and having a 4 -centimeter heel “perfect for day to day”, as they need from the Spanish firm.
