The Internet has become such a hostile place that there are people making drastic decisions: go back to MySpace

by

In a thread on Reddit’s r/Millenials subreddit, a user named Blue_Bi0hazard counted that had signed up for SpaceHeya curious MySpace clone, and I was happy about two things. The first, due to the personalization that this new social network offered. “I can’t stand today’s social media,” he explained. “There is hardly any personalization, everything is gray and simplified. Remember how MySpace or Tumblr was: there you really felt that your profile represented you.” Second, because of how the algorithm has taken over everything: at SpaceHey, he explains, “your feed is chronological, rather than what Facebook or Twitter think you should see, plus the damn ads.” These criticisms are not new, and for some time they have caused a unique Internet revolution. Small communities are returning to using clones of myspace as SpaceHeyor of GeoCitiesas NeoCitiesand although their scope is limited, they are the symptom of something very worrying. Beyond nostalgia Behind these seemingly nostalgic gestures, something deeper is drawn. Not only the desire to return to a retro design, but to raise a kind of digital demand. A “I want to have my corner again” in a sea of ​​feeds that no longer belong to us and over which we have no control. The return to MySpace, or rather, to something that evokes it—like SpaceHey—is actually a critical and rebellious act. It is a gesture that says “I am tired of the current Internet turning me into a consumer rather than a user, that everything I do is subject to the algorithm, the subscription and the ads.” And that’s when that return to those rehashes of the past takes on that other meaning. That of a more or less silent protest. Twenty-five years ago, opening the browser was like doing digital zapping and extremely garish. Amateur blogs were interspersed with local forums, profiles with flashing GIFs, view counters (view counters!), and pages that didn’t open on their own, but also had music on autoplay. It was the internet of the 2000s. GeoCities, LiveJournal, ICQ, Friendster, Blogger and MySpace conquered users and they did so with hardly any algorithms. Was a more hippie internetmessy and unpredictable but full of personality. The profiles were their own spaces, not showcases optimized for clicking. Now we remember that time fondly and smile when we realize that the Internet was full of defects. Loading times were much longer, handling HTML was almost a craft, and mixtures of fonts and designs often resulted in strident and garish web pages. However, they also had virtues. They let you make mistakes without charging you for it. They let you be weird without having to ask permission. Nobody (or almost nobody) had to sell anything, and nobody yet knew that they would end up selling you (or your data). It was the internet as a workshop, not as a gallery or showcase. but then standardization arrived. With Facebook, YouTube, Google or later Instagram and TikTok, we were promised order, efficiency and global connection. The Internet went from being its own territory to a service platform in which profiles became uniform, timelines identical, and rules impersonal. The “enshittification” of the internet This is how we have reached the digital fatigue that many experience today. 20 tabs are opened and the same ads, the same formats and the same giants appear. The Internet is no longer so much a “site” as a “medium” in which we only consume, and what we do more than explore and navigate is end up being victims of doomscrolling. This is where the concept comes into play. “enshittification” (“shitification”, in a loose translation) coined by writer Cory Doctorow. This neologism, as recently explained in an interview with Voxdescribes the drift of many online platforms, although it is applicable to all types of companies: “At first they are great for the end users. Then they find ways to retain those users (switching costs, network effects, contracts, DRM) and once the users are trapped, the company makes the product worse to get more value. They then use that surplus to attract business customers (advertisers, sellers, creators), they trap them and start making the product worse for the business side as well. In the end, everyone gets trapped and the platform becomes a pile of garbage. You can see this in places so like Google, Facebook, Uber and Amazon. In other words: what started out promising becomes mediocre, predictable and profit-oriented, not user-oriented. Shitification clearly manifests itself on today’s internet in various ways. It does this with mandatory subscriptions, with algorithms that decide what you see, with constant advertisements and with data that no longer seems to be yours, but rather turns you into simple merchandise. Before, you opened a blog to publish what you wanted. Now the objective seems to be to gain clicks or provoke engagement. All of this has caused users to become target audiences, consumers and even simple data. It seems that there is no more time to browseand we only have it to consume what the algorithms offer us. On Reddit someone asked if others were nostalgic for the internet of the 2000s and the comments were conclusive. The first of them, in fact, made it clear: “nothing seems genuine anymore.” Reviving MySpace That’s where platforms like SpaceHey, which appeared in 2020 and it is totally inspired by MySpace. Its creator, a young German named Anton Röhm and nicknamed “An” on the platform, is in fact the contact that by default is added to your “friends” on the platform, as on MySpace you added that of its creator, Tom Anderson. Long live the wild and original internet. Like a good clone, the similarities between SpaceHey and MySpace go much further. In SpaceHey, personalization shines, and that aesthetic of early 2000 It is evident in strident and shocking designs. The social network — which has around two million users — does not intend to compete with Facebook or Instagram, but it allows its users to recover part of that feeling of freedom and control … Read more

The Internet has made data the new digital gold. And that’s why we are more fragile than ever: Crossover 1×27

by

The Internet is wonderful until it isn’t. We have made it such an integral part of our lives that we are doing something dangerous: telling it too much about who we are and what we do at any given moment. And that has its risks. To talk about all this in this Crossover 1×27 We have invited José, better known as Hackavisswho is an expert in cybersecurity and digital forensics. He explains to us how hackers can end up stealing our data or what dangers exist on the deep web. And there are many, both in the deep web of before (Tor) and now, because Telegram is a digital underworld in itself. That they are not alone, because dangers also lurk in the Internet that we all see and use daily. This is how Hackaviss tells us (or rather scares us) about disturbing cases in which, for example, hackers can request a loan in your name with just a photo of your ID. There are many more, but in all of them there is the same focus: The data. Because as this expert says, data is the new digital gold. Especially for cybercriminals, who obtain that personal information and then use it in all kinds of ways, both to impersonate identities and to exploit them and defraud people or entire organizations. The types of scams, as Hackaviss explains, are almost unlimited, and in fact reminds us of the famous case of Silk Roadthat of snowden or that of Pegasus and then link to modern cryptocurrency scams. There is a little bit of everything and for everyone, and the conclusion is always the same: be careful how you use the internetbecause we are increasingly fragile in the network of networks.

What it is, how it works and how to use this internet browser with artificial intelligence

by

Let’s explain to you what ChatGPT Atlas is and how it worksthe internet browser created by OpenAI. It is an alternative to Chrome and the rest of the browsers that stands out for having the artificial intelligence of ChatGPT integrated, and is used both as a search engine and to interact with the content you see. We are going to start the article by explaining what exactly this browser is like, both outside and inside. And then we will explain briefly how it works. What ChatGPT Atlas is and how it works ChatGPT Atlas is an internet browser created by OpenAI, one of the leading artificial intelligence companies. His proposal is to offer a vitaminized browser with AIso that you will be able to interact with ChatGPT at all times. The browser is based on Chromiumwhich is the same open source base that other browsers such as Brave, Microsoft Edge or Chrome itself are based on. This means that all the websites you visit will work practically as well as with the other most popular browsers. Using Chromium as a base also allows install the extensions available for Chrome. Come on, if you use extensions in Chrome, Edge or Brave, you may also be able to install them in Atlas. Other more technical advantages of this browser are that you can render pages with Blink, the Chromium engine, use its standard APIs such as tabs, history, cookies or bookmarks, nothing changes, or run JavaScript, CSS and HTML5 like in any modern browser. But the great attraction of the browser is its integration with ChatGPTwhich at launch uses the GPT-5 model, the same as the official AI app. You can use this artificial intelligence without having to open it in external tabssince it will be integrated into a native environment in the browser. The AI ​​model does not execute web code or directly access a page’s servers for security. Additionally, Interactions have limited permissions, nor do they access your data outside of the context in which you are using Atlas. Yes indeed, you have the option to activate user memory. This means that ChatGPT will remember key data about things you talk about with the AI ​​such as your interests such as personal tastes, personal contexts such as plants you may have at home, or styles. You can also deliberately ask him to remember things about you. These elements will be stored as small chunks called “facts” that you can configure in ChatGPT memory. And what is this for in Atlas? Well, it allows the browser to remember interests and browsing routines, to adapt the explanations it gives you when reading websites and documents, or to maintain coherence in different contexts such as tabs, searches, or projects. Imagine that ChatGPT has learned that you write in a digital medium about technological dissemination for beginners, as is my case. So, when you ask it to summarize a website, it will do so adapting to that context, and the explanation will be simpler and more colloquial to adapt to how you understand things. Furthermore, at combine memory with browser toolsit will remember your web projects or research, maintain styles in different sessions, remember configurations, etc. If you search for laptops, for example, you can ask them to compare the results with what you searched the previous month. How to use Atlas To download the Atlas browser, you have to go to the website chatgpt.com/es-ES/atlas. At the moment it is only available on macOS. Once you download the browser, during the installation process you will be able to import the data from another browser you have installed, such as Chrome or Safari. This data is passwords, bookmarks, history, everything. When you make the browser, you will see that it is very similar to Chrome. You will need to log in with your ChatGPT account, and then open a new tab ChatGPT will appear instead of Google to perform searches. When you do it, you will have several types of search results. By default you will see the AI ​​responses, but above there are tabs that will allow you to see website results, just like in Google, and image results. This way you won’t miss anything in your experience. The other big change is when you are browsing any website. The browser has a button Ask ChatGPT which opens a column on the right where you can ask the AI ​​anything related to the content of the website, such as a summary, or anything that comes to mind. Besides, when you select a text and right clickin the context menu you will have an option to ask ChatGPT about this content. Thus, you will be able to obtain context of words or phrases in a simple and fast way. Atlas also has a settings section where you can choose the appearance of the tabs, whether the bookmarks bar is displayed, and you can also control your browsing data and its customization. You’ll also be able to control your AI chat history directly from here, and much more.

ZonaGemelos generates the darkest content on the Spanish internet. They had to cancel their own ‘Big Brother’ in nine hours

by

Extreme content has always existed on the Internet, but until recently it was part of the exclusive redoubt of the network’s sewer: deep webforums in which you had to register to enter, P2P circuits closed to the general public. Social networks, however, are increasingly expanding their themes in more aggressive directions. The lack of moderation and the avalanche of content has created monsters like ‘The House of Twins’, a reality show inspired by ‘Big Brother‘ which was canceled nine hours after its premiere. But who are you? Daniel and Carlos Ramos are brothers and content creators under the label ZoneTwins. They have become known for debate videos that revolve around controversy, morbidity, arguments and sometimes live violence between the guests of their program. Their accounts have hundreds of thousands of followers (just over 300,000 on YouTube, almost 400,000 on TikTok) and their style is reminiscent of entertainment programs from the beginning of the century like ‘Crónicas Marcianas’, and also dating shows like ‘First Dates’ or challenge shows, but in a more extreme way. Among its regulars are Paco Porras or Simon Perezand also include betting and gambling content (in casinos like LocoWin, with high-risk bets). What is ‘The House of Twins’? A reality show for networks which premiered on October 12 on Kick (the twins are banned from Twitch) and YouTube and was canceled in the early hours of the next day, due to violent incidents and serious confrontations between the seven participants, especially between two women who are regulars in the ZonaGemelos debates: la Falete and Triana Marrash. The latter had its fifteen minutes of fame on a national scale thanks to ‘Tardear’ and an alleged disappearance that turned out to be a setup to gain followers. What happened? Three contest participants voluntarily left the program before its cancellation, given the direction the program was taking, with the participants becoming increasingly drunk. Among other things, constant fights could be seen, attempts to quilting with three people involved, inappropriate comments on sensitive topics such as the war in Ukraine and destruction of the house and furniture. The organizers, when announcing the closure, spoke of “a second edition with some basic rules of coexistence and a few hours to sleep.” Some figures. In its first hours, the program was followed by more than a million live viewers, which makes it clear that we are not exactly facing a niche product. The hashtag #LaCasaDeLosGemelos became a trending topic on X and YouTube ended up cutting the broadcast due to the questionable content. Of course, as happens in reality shows, it soon began to generate lots of derivative content from other creators commenting on what happened in the house. extreme youtube. The type programs reality streaming like The House of Twins raise moral and ethical questions that have been object of study: emotional manipulation, exploitation of participants, loss of privacy, psychological and social effects on those who participate and consume this type of entertainment… Producers usually edit and manipulate recorded material to provoke conflicts and extreme reactions that keep the public’s attention. This strategy generates economic benefits, but results in the emotional exploitation of the contestants, who may suffer anxiety and psychological deterioration. Other key moral dilemma revolves around the actual consent of the participants. In many productions, contestants sign contracts that allow them to be constantly filmed, without effective control over their image once broadcast: participants are recorded in moments of emotional and physical vulnerability, such as arguments or personal crises. And if these issues are considerable in realities traditional, its impact is multiplied on the internet, where algorithms amplify emotionally conflictive content to maximize public interaction.

In 1990, the Internet was science fiction for half the world. And in Japan they already played the Sega Mega Drive online

by

We live in a highly connected world in which the Internet is present on our computers, mobile phones, consoles and even refrigerators. Never in history has it been so easy to access information, play online or control devices from a distance. However, as we all know, this has not always been the case. The year is 1990. It may be a little surprising to think that in 1990 Japan not only were already connecting to the Internet, but some people were connecting modems to their video game consoles to play online. And the most curious thing about this service is that the country was not even among those that had the most developed connectivity offer. The data. To give a little context, according to Worldmapper dataAbout 3 million people had access to the Internet in the inaugural year of the 1990s. Most of the users were distributed between the United States and Europe. In the connectivity ranking, Japan was far behind, outside the top 10 positions. Pioneers. However, the Japanese company Sega did not hesitate to embrace the network of networks with its Mega Drive console (known as the Sega Genesis in other markets). It was its fourth-generation 16-bit console that had been launched in 1988 and had been a success. The device had a 7.6 MHz Motorola 68000 microprocessor to run the games and a Zilog Z80 coprocessor. The console thus had 64 KB of RAM, 64 KB of VRAM, 8 KB of audio RAM. Two years after its launch, specifically on November 3, 1990, Sega launched the Mega Modem in Japan. It was an accessory that connected to a DE-9 port located on the back of the console and that allowed it to connect to the Internet. Dial-up. As you can surely imagine, the offering of online services back then was very primitive. However, the Japanese company was encouraged to distribute games through dial-up connection as well as to allow online play in some of its titles. All this was done through a telephone connection whose speed was around 1200 bauds (1.2 kbit/s). And, since there was no additional storage device, all downloaded games had to be stored in the Mega Drive’s memory. Variety of games. At that time, Sega offered two options to access the Mega Modem. On the one hand, players could purchase the accessory with a cartridge for 12,800 yen. This enabled the aforementioned connectivity and gave access to a range of included games. Titles included ‘Nikkan Sports Professional Baseball VAN’, ‘Cyberball’, ‘Advanced Grand Strategy’, ‘TEL/TEL Stadium’, ‘Forbidden City’ and ‘TEL/TEL Majan’. The last one was a mahjong game with individual or online play capabilities. Mega Modem Purchasing separately. On the other hand, the company only offered the Mega Modem for 9,800 yen. In this case, users should purchase compatible cartridges separately to take advantage of the connectivity benefits of the accessory. One of the most successful cartridges was Sansan. It was a Go strategy game with online play capability. The developer, White Box, allowed owners of the cartridge to play through the Mega Modem with others using their Sansan ID. The proposal, without a doubt, was enormously interesting. However, it did not have the expected success and the Japanese company decided to discontinue it at the end of 1992. The new versions of the Mega Drive, in fact, were launched on the market without the modem port. Images | SEGA | boffy_b | In Xataka | The PS5 Slim has removable Blu-ray drives.

In the nineties, no one saw how the Internet would starve factories. Thirty years later, AI is doing the same thing

by

On the one hand, the United States government is trying to reverse three decades of deindustrialization with tariffs on China. On the other hand, investment in AI is recreating exactly the phenomenon that destroyed part of the American industry in the 1990s. History repeats itself, but this time knowing what is going to happen. Why is it important. Derek Thompson, business reporter for The Atlantic, has identified a pattern that rewrites what we thought we knew about American industrial decline. China not only stole jobs but American capital abandoned them early. In an interview with the investor Paul Kedrosky for his podcast Plain EnglishThompson presents his thesis: In the nineties, the massive deployment of the Internet and telecommunications absorbed brutal amounts of money. That money had to come from somewhere. He left the factories. Small manufacturers saw financing becoming increasingly more expensive. Just at that time, China was entering the World Trade Organization and trade barriers were falling. It wasn’t bad luck. It was cause and effect. The context. Technology companies are going to spend about $400 billion this year building infrastructure for AI. To put it in perspective: the Apollo program that took the United States to the Moon cost about 300 billion adjusting for inflation. That was ten years. This is a year. Data centers have accounted for half of US economic growth in the first six months of 2025. The forecast is that investment exceeds 500,000 million annually in 2026 and 2027. Meanwhile, American consumers are spending $12 billion a year on AI services. The difference between what is invested and what is earned is abysmal. The panoramic. The problem is structural. If you manage an investment fund with 500,000 million, you have two options: You can distribute that money among a hundred small factories that need five million each. Or you can write ten $50 billion checks to AI projects. The first option means managing a hundred different companies. Sit on dozens of tips. Do constant monitoring. The second means ten meetings a year. The choice is obvious. A manufacturer that wants to take advantage of the moment to bring production back to the US finds that borrowing money is very expensive. Banks compare their project with the returns that AI promises. There is no color. The irony. Trump has built his economic policy on tariffs that force companies to manufacture in the US. But investment in AI is making it more expensive exactly what the tariffs are trying to make cheaper: producing locally. Tariffs raise the price of importing from China. AI raises the cost of financing local production. The net effect may be zero for the industry, but with higher prices for everyone. The figures. Building a modern data center involves… That 60% of the budget goes to NVIDIA chips. The rest is divided between refrigeration, electricity and construction. The physical building is the cheapest part. Geography also counts. Northern Virginia concentrates a good part of the investment. Areas that were rural ten years ago are now surrounded by industrial facilities that operate 24 hours a day. Yes, but. There is a way out that did not exist in the nineties: set up data centers outside the United States. India and the Middle East are receiving huge investments because electricity is cheaper and your neighbors, ahem, complain less. But that makes the original problem worse. If the money goes to data centers in other countries, there is even less left for American factories. Between the lines. Kedrosky uses a simile that sums it all up: a death star that absorbs capital. In the nineties that star was the Internet. Now it’s AI. The factories, in both cases, are collateral damage. The difference is that in the nineties no one saw it coming. Now yes.

Jeff Bezos asked his parents for savings from his life to found Amazon. They only asked him one question: “What is the Internet?

by

In 1995, Jeff Bezos decided give up your stable job and well paid as an analyst on Wall Street to set up a book sales business online. At that time, Jeff Bezos was not the millionaire who is today, so he went to see his parents and asked them for help to invest in Amazon. His father’s first question was clear and direct: “What is the Internet?” Miguel and Jacklyn Bezos did not know much about that new technology, but they knew that their son was determined to squeeze it to the maximum. According to the writer Brad Stone in the book “The dream store. Jeff Bezos and the Amazon era“Bezos warned his parents:” There is a 70 % chance that you will lose everything. I just want to make sure I can return home for thanksgiving if this doesn’t work. “ Without hesitation, the Bezos invested a good part of the savings of their entire life in their son’s project. Today, that initial investment has grown 15,500% And it is worth more than the GDP of Iceland and Maldives together, making their father so rich (his mother died a few weeks ago) that, as he counted The Wall Street JournalMiguel Bezos is hiring a CEO to administer the assets of his Family Office. The origin of a historical fortune In the middle of the nineties, Mike Bezos, of Cuban origin and with family ties in a Small Valladolid municipalityhe decided to trust family savings to his son Jeff and, incidentally, becoming the first investors after the Amazon Foundation. According to documents Of the US Stock and Stock Exchange Commission (SEC), the initial investment of the Bezos was through the purchase of 582,528 Amazon shares to, only a few months later, expand your investment by buying 847,716 more shares. In total, 1,430,244 shares at a purchase price of 17 cents per share. That leaves a total investment of 243,141.48. Such and as it revealed Bloombergit is a fortune for a couple formed by a single mother who had to raise her son alone with a poor salary while studying A race, and a Cuban immigrant who arrived in the US with 16 years. After thirty years, if the initial investment had remained intact, it would amount to about 72.6 billion dollars. However, after different sales and donations of shares, the family heritage of Jeff Bezos’s parents exceeds 40,000 million dollars. CEO is sought for fortune According to The Estimates of The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, Aurora Borealisthe company that is responsible for managing the heritage of Miguel Bezos, was founded in 2020 and, if it were a person, would take 48 position among the greatest fortunes of the List of Millionaires of Forbes. Aurora Borealis, is currently one of the Family officers most relevant in the world for its heritage volume. The company manages assets of very diverse kinds, from those foundational actions of Amazon to investments in funds and projects of philanthropy through the Bezos Family Foundation. The growing heritage of the father of Jeff Bezos has reached levels that have become necessary to professionalize the team that manages it from Aurora Borealis, Speaking as CEO To Valeria Alberola, an executive with experience in the management of great heritage. As a reference, the new Amazon Fortuna Fortuna manager managed the Family Office of the Walton familyfounders and owners of the Wallmart supermarket chain. His goal, get Miguel “Mike” Bezos even richer. The history of Miguel Bezos’ fortune is not only relevant for facilitating the foundation of one of the world’s largest companies, it is also a unique phenomenon since it is not usual for a family loan of just under $ 244,000, ends up making millionaires to the founder’s parents, and not to external investors. Was A risky bet That he went well, but he could also have left Jeff Bezos banished from thanksgiving dinners and his parents with a serious economic problem.

Jpelirrojo and Soyunapringada star again on the Internet of the week

by

When it seemed that his time of controversial stardom had passed, here we have it again: Jpelirrojo, One of the first youtubers In getting some notoriety with a nascent YouTube around the mid -two thousands, he is again In the eye of the hurricane. And has not disappointed. The one who was the black Beast of the Internet in Spanish returns, thanks to a few unfortunate statements and the resurrection of his BEEF with Esty Quesadato be the most hated internet (this week). Jpelirrojo Prime. He Jpelirrojo who obtained fame on the Internet for a few years ago is no longer that of now: he promoted his steps in the rap and the interpretationits main channel came to exceed one million subscribers, won the Google YouTube Nextup contest in 2011, opened channels dedicated to sport, challenges or even their personal life, since it was one of the first Influencers in visible your relationship with youtuber Roenlaredanticipating the gossip internet we have now. And, of course, he has never been alien to the controversies: he celebrated in 2016 the death of a bullfighter on Twitter (which It cost an advertising contract with Nestlé), did controversial statements and of misogynist dyes about feminism, makeup or Friendzonewas criticized for his opinions about politics and relationships, and also when he entered the market of the coaches with A course of doubtful quality about obtaining happiness. Enter Soyunapringada. The confrontation between Jpelirrojo and Esty Quesada is one of the most popular controversies in the world of Spanish youtubers and influencers. Quesada He criticized Jpelirrojo years agoaccusing him of being a “shit macho” and a “cancer for feminism”, especially because of the way he treated Roenlared. Quesada defined the relationship between the two of psychological abuse and this hatred reached its culmination in A few viodeos where youtuber He let all his bile out Against his enemy, in historical pieces of verbal poison in Spanish. But if this was years ago … Why have the flames of the conflict been revived? More controversial. Although this year Jpelirrojo has not been oblivious to controversies (in June he published a video Raising weights in the hospital room where his partner had just given birth, with the text “Without excuses”), none has been as much as Your participation in expected podcastwhere he confessed to having been unfaithful to Roenlaredwith whom he had a relationship of more than 12 years. He explained how this situation conditioned the rest of the years together, ensuring that he lived “canceled” and always “in debt” for that error. His statements have been specially criticized for presenting themselves as a victim despite having committed the initial infidelity, which generated Debates on responsibility and toxic relationships. The interview was also sown with Conflictive political opinionslike “the only nazi than the Nazi is the extreme left Woke Today in social networks. “or his revelation on the habit of recording all his conversations” by paranoia “. Esty, to the jugular. After five years without publishing on him, I am anapringing has unearthed the war ax and has taken advantage of the media intervention of Jpelirrojo for launch a new attack. Tacha to your recent statements of “circus” and ridicule your complaints. In fact, she was the main defender of the theory that excuses is victimized and uses to justify her behavior and past errors. Quesada has continued to remove the controversy and the incin that already has a jpelirrojo in social networks, to end up making it one of the most hated people of the moment. Jpelirrojo, in the center of the hurricane. It is no longer about having a controversial behavior or seeking with your statements to generate the hatred of your opponents: Jpelirrojo has ended up converting the CRINGE In full -time work. Establishing the grimo as one of the Fine Arts seems to be the purpose of someone who seems aware that he will not achieve notoriety for conventional channels, and force the opposition with videos that knows that they will be badly received, such as that of the hospital, or with necessarily confrontational statements, such as those of the podcast. Let’s not forget that Jpelirrojo comes from an internet era in which to release the most daring provocation was rewarded with visits, although there were punishments in the form of Canceled Contracts. But sensibilities have changed and that is why these types of profiles always have the complaint about the “cancellation culture“. However, the wheel continues to turn: while there is a jpelirrojo there will always be a sty cheese to stir about its sins, in a spiral of hatred and affronts that is the one that signs the most bronch and rough side of the Internet.

99% of the Internet travels through submarine cables. Now there is a much more ambitious plan in progress: join the electricity grid

by

At first glance, the seas are an empty landscape. Under its waters, the image is another, through it a network of invisible highways that already support our day to day: the submarine cables that carry the 99% of world communications. Now, a new generation of electrical interconnectors – thousands of kilometers and gigavatio power – aspires to bring sun, wind and hydraulic where they are missing, when they are missing. The promise is simple: that electricity travels with the sun and wind through schedules; The execution, not so much. The starting point: The North Sea. The United Kingdom and Denmark premiered at the end of 2023 the Viking Link, a 765 km cable that crosses the North Sea and allows you to import electricity when wind is missing on the island and export when left over. It is the longest interconnector in the world in operation, but, as Financial Times warned: “It may not be for a long time.” The British media report details That on the horizon there are much more ambitious plans: join Canada with the United Kingdom and Ireland through a 4,000 km cable, link Morocco with Europe or export Australian solar energy to Singapore through more than 4,300 km of submarine cable. Through the cables. This new megaproject makes it clear that countries have been pursuing a connection with renewables for some time, because there is a mismatch between production and consumption, and we must solve it. The most illustrative example is AapowerLink in Australia. The Suncable company plans to install 3 GW from Solar in the northern territory, store part in batteries and sell it both to Darwin and Singapore, through an underwater cable of more than 4,000 km. In the words of his CEO, Ryan Willemsen-Bell, collected by Financial Times: “Australia has abundant land and sun. The ability to share those benefits with our neighbors has enormous potential.” In parallel, the North Atlantic Transmission One Link seeks to connect the Canadian hydroelectric plant with Europe. The time differential is its great asset: when Canada sleeps, the United Kingdom starts the day; When in the North Sea, wind blows at midnight, New York is preparing dinner. A lesson from the Internet. The idea may sound futuristic, but there are already solid precedents. As we have underlined Xatakathe entire planet is furrowed by submarine data cables, authentic digital highways that have demonstrated the viability of infrastructure of tens of thousands of kilometers. The Southern Cross Cable Network, 30,500 km, connects Australia, New Zealand and the United States since 2000. The newly opened 2Africa, 45,000 km, surrounds the African continent and reaches Barcelona and India. And in Spain, cables such as tide (6,605 km, Meta and Microsoft) or Grace Hopper (7,191 km, from Google) link Bilbao with the east coast of the US. The experience of these data networks provides an obvious parallelism: if we already move information on a global scale, why not also clean energy? Although not everything is so easy. From Financial Times alert a tensioning supply chain: The manufacture of cables, transformers and converting stations does not supply. The waiting deadlines are lengthened, and the availability of specialized ships to tend cable is limited. To that are added political risks. In Norway, the export of electricity to its neighbors has triggered the internal debate on prices. In the United Kingdom, the Government rejected this year to support the X-Links project to bring energy from Morocco, claiming “high level of inherent risk”. And with the ongoing Ukraine War, the threat of sabotages to critical infrastructure It is a fact. Looking inside. In the Spanish case, the problem is more domestic than international. As we have explained in Xatakathe country has run more than anyone to lift renewables in the “emptied Spain”, but has not deployed the cables to bring that electricity to the cities. The result is a “broken bridge”: at noon there are plenty of cheap megawatts that are cut or sell at zero price, and at night the network needs gas support, more expensive the market. According to data from the AELēC employer, 83.4% of connection knots are already saturated, which prevents hooking new consumptions such as industries, data centers or electrolyiners. The challenge, in short, is not to plan and reinforce the networks; as well as improve interdependence with other countries to break With the French bottleneck. A map of interdependencies. Beyond the technical and economic, these electric highways draw a new geopolitical map. Just as pipelines and gas pipelines marked the twentieth century, renewable interconnections can define alliances and dependencies in the XXI. The engineer Simon Ludlam, co-founder of the Canada-UK project, summed it up in Financial Times: “The most important nuclear reactor is in heaven, and its energy can be shared thanks to the rotation of the earth. But we need to be interconnected.” The sun that shines in the Australian desert or the water that falls in Canada could light, in a matter of seconds, the lights of cities to thousands of kilometers. The energy transition not only depends on producing renewables, but also on learning to move them. If the pipelines defined the petroleum geopolitics, the electric highways can become the invisible arteries of the coming world.
