While OpenAi insists on being the new Google, Deepseek says they have higher goals: AGI

by

Sam Altman has been very clear about his way of seeing things in Openai from the beginning. He has always been in a hurry to launch the ED models his company, market them and be looking for investment rounds to be able to sustain that frantic expense rhythm. The funny thing is that one of his greatest rivals, Deepseekyou are looking for a totally opposite strategy. Income grows. As they point out In Financial Timesthe company led by Liang Wenfeng has become one of the favorites of the Chinese technological panorama. Its payment services, consisting of the API for the use of Deepseek V3 and R1, have worked very well and have allowed income to cover operating expenses for the first time last month. But Deepseek doesn’t look for money. However, industry experts point out in FT that Liang has no intention of trying to take advantage of the time to maximize financial income marketing more and more their (efficient) products. No investment. Nor seek investors who support their goalsand in fact there is talk of how difficult it is to talk to the founder of the company. An investor of a multi -million dollar fund in China indicated how “we took advantage of high -level government connections and we only managed to sit with someone from their financial department who told us that they regretted it but did not look for investment rounds.” A for the AGI. Instead the company is focused on developing its current models and also in seeking the development of general artificial intelligence (AGI). It is the same challenge that other rivals pursue, but it is not clear what path each one is following to reach those with superior abilities even to those of human intelligence in all areas. Totally different from OpenAI. Deepseek’s approach is totally opposite to Openai, which from the first moment took advantage of Chatgpt to create a commercial business around that chatbot. Then the successive (and colossal) rounds of investment would arrive. The rumored SoftBank’s round, which It is estimated at 40,000 million dollarswould make its value amount to 260,000 million dollars. A small draft startup. In Financial Times they also point out that Depseek has 160 employees, something that contrasts with the more than 2,000 that OpenAi has. That has made others like Alibaba or Tencent convince business clients such as Apple, who will use QWen (from Alibaba) as an option for iPhone users in China. And with a “small” infrastructure. According to sources close to the company, Liang bought 10,000 GPUS NVIDIA H800 and 10,000 A100 in recent years. He did it before access to them was vetoed. It is not an too high amount if we compare it for example with which Elon Musk acquired In XAI, and also both are somewhat less powerful models than H100 and of course than modern B200. Deepseek R2 and V4 are on their way. The new versions of their AI models are in full development. They were expected to be launched in May, but the company may decide to accelerate that launch and make them available to the general public even before to take advantage of the good time of the company.

It doesn’t matter if you delete your messages on WhatsApp, Google keeps them the same. The State Attorney General has discovered him for the bad

by

Google and WhatsApp have confirmed to the Supreme Court that they will retain the data of Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, according to PUBLICA The country. The prosecutor is being investigated for alleged revelation of secrets By filtering information about an agreement offered by Alberto González Amador’s lawyer, a couple of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, to avoid jail for two fiscal crimes. Politics on the margin, they have opened an interesting debate about true privacy in digital environments. Why is it important. The case brings to light a non-tan-known technological reality: erasing messages or emails from our devices does not mean that they completely disappear from the servers of technology companies, which can be forced to recover them by judicial orders. Between bambalins. Messaging applications and mail services maintain backups and records that survive the local erase. WhatsApp does two types of copies: one on the device itself and one in virtual storage that It is managed through Google. This creates a persistent data network difficult to eliminate completely. The general panoramic. This case exemplifies the complex of the storage architectures used by large technological ones, at the technical and legal level: The data is fragmented and doubled on several servers, in turn in several jurisdictions. The backups They are made automatically and in the background, often without explicit knowledge of the user. Complete data elimination requires concrete actions beyond simple erased in the device. In detail. The technical procedure to recover “deleted” messages implies several layers: Forensic access to local copies through specialized software. Request for metadata records (who sent what and when). Recovery of backups in the cloud that can remain even after the local erase. Analysis of Logs of servers that record the activity of communications. The authorities are looking for very specific data that technological ones retain despite the local deletion by the user. Message content, multimedia files exchanged, communications metadata and activity and connection records. The big question. This case illustrates a reality that many users do not know: the elimination of messages on our devices does not guarantee their definitive disappearance. For the common citizen, this means rethinking what we understand by digital privacy; For professionals in sensitive positions, it implies assuming that any electronic communication could be recovered in a future judicial process, regardless of whether or not it was deleted. Will our communicative habits change when we assume that “erased” may not really be?

Google hoped that the new US government would save him from “chopping” in several companies. Bad news

by

It doesn’t matter when you read this, it is almost certain that in the last hours you have used some Google service. Maybe you have sent an email in Gmail, received a message on your Android mobile, sailed with Chrome or made a google search. The company dominates so many aspects of digital life that is difficult to escape its ecosystem. But with that power the problems also come: antitrust authorities have been pressing years To detach from some divisions, and a possible separation is getting closer. DOJ VS. Google. The pulse between Google and the US authorities is not new. In October 2020, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and eleven state prosecutors They filed a lawsuit accusing Mountain View company to monopolize internet searches. After years of litigation, in August last year, federal judge Amit P. Mehta failed against him, concluding that the technological giant had maintained his domain in the searches market by imposing entry barriers that hindered competition. One of its main strategies has been to pay mobile manufacturers such as Apple to ensure be the default search engine on its devices. A bold measure on the table. Throughout history, the authorities have intervened to stop the domain of large companies, although the most common strategy is usually imposing economic sanctions. Forcing part of the business, on the other hand, is a drastic and rare measure. In the case of Google, this option went to the forefront the same day the failure against it was confirmed, although informally. However, the judge had not yet determined the corrective measures, which will be announced throughout 2025. Even so, the possibility of a split becomes increasingly strength. The Department of Justice presses to fragment Google. Although, as we say, the judge has not explicitly supported Google’s fragmentation, the DOJ, which represents the US government, has insisted on that option as part of the corrective measures. He has argued that the only way to stop his monopolistic domain in searches is to force the company to get rid of Chrome and, potentially, of Android. The striking thing is that the first attempt occurred under the administration of Joe Biden, But the second has arrivedagainst any forecast, with Donald Trump in the White House. “Thanks to its colossal size and its power without restrictions, Google has taken consumers and companies an essential promise that is owed to them: the right to choose between different services. Its illegal practices have created an economic giant that dominates the market to the point of guaranteeing that, whatever happens, it always wins, ”said the DOJ in his last presentation asking for the disinversion of the company in key areas. “Google’s illegal behavior has created an economic giant that wreaks havoc on the market to make sure what happens, Google always wins. American consumers and companies suffer from Google’s behavior, ”he added. An uncertain panorama. The presentation has been signed by Omeed A. Assefi, who currently leads the antimonopoly division interimly while the Senate evaluates the confirmation of Gail Slater, the one chosen by Trump to assume the position. ASSEFI is no stranger to the former president: He was part of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice during his first term. Slater, meanwhile, has indicated that he hopes to apply Regulations with surgical precisionwhile Trump has not hesitated to accuse the great technology of acting without control, to quell the competition and take advantage of their market domain to restrict rights. With this panorama, it continues in the air if its appointment will mark a change of strategy or if, on the contrary, the pressure on the technological sector will continue to increase. Wasn’t Trump hope? Before even being elected president, several technological leaders went to him in search of solutions. Tim Cook, from Apple, for example, called him to complain of the regulatory approach of the European Union, to which Trump responded with a promise: he would not allow them to take advantage of US companies. SUCTAR PICHAI, from Google, shared a meal with himalthough the details of that conversation are still a mystery. The company itself also donated a million dollars at the bottom of his inauguration. Now, with a judicial ruling that could force her to divide, Google has already announced that she will appeal the decision to avoid the dreaded chopstick. Effects throughout the ecosystem. Chop Google would not only affect the company itself, but shaking the entire digital ecosystem. Chrome and Android are not profitable business for themselves, they exist to channel users to their search engine, the true gold mine of the company. Separating them would completely change the rules of the game, affecting online advertising, agreements with manufacturers and software we use on our devices. But that’s not all: if the authorities are seriously with Google, the rest of the giants such as Apple, Amazon or Meta could be the following in the sight.

Larry Page, founder of Google, has a new company and a goal between eyebrows and eyebrows: manufacture products with AI

by

While Serguéi Brin focuses in stepping on the accelerator To position Google in his career for AI, Larry Page is already exploring the industrial profits that future artificial intelligence models will have. As published The InformationPage would be behind Dynatoms, a startup focused on applying artificial intelligence algorithms to the DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS optimizing the Use of materials and tools. Of artificial intelligence to industrial intelligence As It echoed TechcrunchLarry Page’s new project would not be linked to Google (except for its founder), and seeks to create “highly optimized” designs through the use of AI models to accelerate processes that usually require months of human work. This initiative marks the return of Page at the head of a technological project, then staying for several years in the role of discrete investor of aeronautics companies As Kitty Hawk. No details about Dynatoms activities are not known yet, but for what he has published The Informationits approach would not be limited to software: the platform would directly integrate the designs generated by In factories to start their industrial production. This connection would close the cycle from the design of a product to its chain manufacture, something innovative in a sector where both stages are usually managed separately. Page is not alone in this adventure. According to the investigations of The InformationHe is accompanied by Chris Anderson, former director of Kitty Hawk technology and hardware expert. The rest of the team would be formed by specialized engineers in AI, robotics and manufacturing systems. Since it is a very recent project in which Larry Page is still working, the names of these specialists are not known, but given the trajectory of both founders, it would not be unreasonable to find former Alphabet and Kitty Hawk employees. Early, but with a lot of future Although Page has been working in Dynatoms for months, the startup still has no launch date or confirmed customers. Sources close to the project cited by The Information They indicate that its founders prioritize technology before their presentation to the public. This contrasts with the usual approach in Silicon Valley de Lanz minimally viable productsalthough then they have to close them precipitously. According to a McKinsey studythe market potential to implement the supply chain and manufacturing could contribute up to 3.5 billion annually to the manufacturing sector by 2030. If Dynatoms manages to climb, he could compete with giants such as Autodesk or even with the generative tools of companies such as Openai, but specializing in concrete industrial applications. But it will not be alone in that area. Startups such as Orbital Materials is already using the for Develop new materials For the industry. Physicsx They are applying iA to optimize product design complex Like cars or aircraft using digital twins to accelerate its development. All of them are working to optimize processes with tools that do not even exist, but when they arrive, they will be at the forefront in their application.

Freepik already integrates 2 to generate video with AI. He has even released it even that Google herself

by

Freepik has been consolidating for some time as A reference in the creation of multimedia content with AI. Not only at the national or European level, but worldwide. And now he has surprised the world by premiere exclusively, Google’s 2. Why is it important. The launch of I see 2 through Freepikeven before, on Google’s own platforms, it marks a turning point in the generative and consolidated market to the Malaga company as a global global actor. The context. The alliance between Google and Freepik is more than a simple technological collaboration. It represents a change in the usual strategy of the giants such as Google, who usually reserve the firstfruits for their own platforms. It has not been the case this time. Google, by deference towards a Partnerby commercial strategy or for the good work of the company Malaga, it has allowed it to be Freepik who hit first with I see 2. An example of what this integration is capable of doing, provided by Freepik itself: In figures. Freepik’s impact on the creative industry is huge: 64 million creatives use the platform. 247 million available graphic resources. 600,000 premium subscribers. More than one billion images generated with AI. In detail. I see 2 promises to raise the bar in the generation of video by AI: It offers unpublished realism in animations.

Technology are obsessed with which we use their AI. And Google wants to do the same with the iPhone

by

Technology are allocating A good part of its resources to invest in AI. And, for That is profitableit has to be used by the maximum possible number of people. If there is someone doing it well in that regard is Google, who is signing alliances with practically the entire smartphone industry to incorporate their model Gemini Nano in the native functions of the ROMs. He began conquering Android and the following goal is clear: he wants to go for iOS. Just a few days ago, Gemini disappeared from Google’s app to work only through its native application. The following movement has been to bring to the iPhone one of its best known functions: ‘Circle to Search’. Officially, the function that reaches the iPhone is not called ‘Circle to Search’, since it is an integration by which Google Lens You can analyze the content of our photographs or websites. Despite this, the operation is identical: a new gesture in which we can draw on the screen to highlight information and look for it. This function is beginning to integrate both in Google Chrome and in the Google application, and does exactly the same as ‘Circle to Search’. Just press on the menu (three points) on Google or Chrome, select “Search on the screen with Lens”. The app will tell us that “we surround to search,” and will reborn through the results of what we are looking for to offer related results. A perfect plan for, if we use Chrome instead of safari, we have ‘circle to search natively integrated. Apple is not the only one on this path. Other technological giants, such as Microsoft, send frequent notifications in Windows to encourage users to use their artificial intelligence tools. Similarly, adobe integrates constant notices in applications such as Photoshop and Lightroom, to promote the use of their functions based on AI. Most hardware and software products that incorporate artificial intelligence often invite (perhaps in an aggressive way) users to explore and take advantage of these capabilities.

I wanted to set up my own Google photos. I have achieved it thanks to a wonderful alternative Open Source

by

I have a particular obsession to have my photos well organized. As I have been fighting with this for a few years, I have tried a good handful of solutions, and for example I enjoyed Picasa –Google killed him, like Reader– And I also tried solutions like Synology photos Following the steps From my partner Alejandro Nieto. The goal has always been the same: Google photos of Googlea service that is wonderful but that like other services in the cloud, it worries me because I don’t know what my photos can be used. They assure They are not used for advertising purposes, but can be used to improve their automatic learning algorithms in image recognition. A custom nas The cloud is fantastic in many things and for many users, but as I say, I preferred to mount it at my home. Recently I counted this whole search process and tests in more detail in my blogand now I wanted to take advantage of it also in Xataka. About a year ago looking for new alternatives, and to achieve a decision I rode a nas With 30 hard drive, 4 TB of SSD and a modest plate and processor because it sought more efficiency than power. My NAS, in a Jonsbo N2 box with hard drives bays. There was also detailed research process to choose the operating system with which to control everything. There are many and varied options for NAS, although I would say that among the most prominent are unraid, thunder (formerly Freenes), proxmox, OpenMediavault or Casaos. After documenting, reading and watching videos I ended up deciding on Unraida very veteran and respected project. The “Starter” license costs 49 dollars and is valid for machines with up to six disk units, and I thought it was very good option. Putting everything in motion took some time: this is not like installing Windows on a PC, and I also wanted to have a very specific configuration to use the ZFS file system for the three hard disk units configured in Raidz (Raidz1 ), Something that when I settled I had just started to be available in Unraid. Solved that, I migrated all the data of my old NAS, an old Synology DS-212J who gave me many joys but that began to fall short in many things. That also took time, because I wanted to take the opportunity to reorganize the small chaos in which some folders that had used almost as “digital storages” had become. Testing alternatives to Google photos Once that was resolved, I could start trying different alternatives to manage my photos. Here Unraid is especially wonderful, because it allows (like other systems for NAS, certainly) to assemble services separately and easily isolated, especially thanks to Docker. UNRAID’s “App Store” with the different types of autosted services that you can install on your server at click. That makes you become 5, 10 or 100 servers. Those you want and those that your hardware allows, of course. And the same with virtual machines, that I do not use just but that are an equally interesting option to get your server more. I have ended up installing about 15 servers in my nas, although the vast majority are usually deactivated. Be that as it may, Unraid has its own “App Store”and in it there are dozens and dozens of possible services that you can ride on your server to run them from there and have your own cloud essence with your local services. There are alternatives for almost everything that exists on the Internet: you can mount your email, music, your web server, download, databases, or, of course … photos. And this is where it was time to try alternatives that seemed interesting and on which I had already investigated. Others met them along the way, but thanks to Unraid and Docker’s magic starting these alternatives is a matter of minutes. Then, of course, there is an import process of the photos – if you have many, that can take to days – but I reduced the import to a small subset of photos for the tests. First of all, I must say that what is clear is that in this field there is everything, and for all. The options are very varied both in their reach and in their way of “attacking” the problem, but I had certain priorities. In essence I wanted a good alternative to Google photos that inherited its virtues (interface, chronological organization, favorite management, perhaps facial and object recognition). Photosyructure is an original, different and very powerful alternative. That made some projects quickly discard that they did not fit me but that can be great for many users. Among them were Piwigo, Photonix, Chevereto, Damselfly, Lycheeeither PhotoViewbut there are certainly more. The thing however interesting with Some really serious and very striking alternatives. I had already tried Photosyructure And I loved his interface with that first page of random photo team, but they did not fit their favorite management (subscription to enable that option) or its interface, which is not focused on the chronological order. LIBHOTOS I looked great, but it was not easily installed (I was not in the “App Store” of Unraid) and gave me many problems, probably because I did something wrong when riding it. I also tried NextCloud Photos, curious option if you are already users of NextCloud Photos and its improved version, Memoriesbut the interface and some options were not entirely fine. The one who really put things difficult was Photoprismone of the most popular options among those looking for alternatives to Google photos. His options are extraordinary, and the only thing that really backed down is that it seems to me an option that focuses more on organizing your photos (the power here is amazing) than to enjoy them. The interface did not fall in love either, but it always remained as a great candidate if other options did not convince me anymore. I finally discovered a candidate … Read more

Now Claudia Sheinbaum threatens to sue Google for her maps

by

Google Maps shows different names for the Gulf of Mexico according to the country from where the application is accessed. In Mexico, it maintains the traditional denomination, while in the United States it appears as “Gulf of America” In Spain and other places, a combination is shown: “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. The change has not gone unnoticed. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, He assured Thursday in a question and answers session that his government maintains a dispute with Google and that could take legal actions against the company if it does not reversed the changes implemented after Donald Trump’s decree. Sheinbaum challenges the American giant The controversy intensified on February 9, when the new president of the United States He signed a decree To “rename as ‘Gulfo de América’ the area of ​​the continental shelf of the United States ”. Then, Google Maps and Apple Maps updated their maps for users of some locations. Days before, the Ministry of Foreign Relations of Mexico I had sent a letter to Google to avoid name changebut the answer was not expected. “They already answered the letter, and we already answered again. If necessary, we are going to a civil demand, ”said Sheinbaum, adding that the company” is not right. “ In Google Maps, US users now see “Gulf of America” ​​instead of the Gulf of Mexico “I am explaining not even President Trump is considering that the entire Gulf of Mexico is called Gulf of America but only his continental platform,” said the president. In communications with Google, as he explained, the Foreign Minister has included both Trump’s decree and reference to International standards. Sheinbaum also added that, although Google is a private company and can have agreements with different countries, its service has so much scope that it has become an international reference. It is time to wait to know if the company led by L succinity Pichai will step back and reverse the changes requested by the Mexican Executive. It is important to note that, although the decree specifies that the change of name applies only to the United States continental platform, The White House has celebrated its appearance in Apple Maps in X Without distinctions. In addition, Trump’s speech has presented the measure as a great victory, without clarifying his geographical scope.
