How to earn money and what role does the Chinese government have in this AI

by

Deepseek is the artificial intelligence (AI) of the moment. There is no doubt about that. It has been occupying the center of attention for almost three weeks, and it is not for less if we do not overlook that The debate about hardware used by this Chinese company to train your AI model Keep on the table. And also the cost of this process. After Depseek other models of AI have arrived that are presumably even cheaper, as S1but this is not the most relevant. The reason why Deepseek has shaken the foundations of the AI ​​industry is that a model with a quality similar to that of Openai or Google IA or Google is given free of charge. What is not at all clear for the moment is that The cost derived from your training It has been as moderate as those responsible for this emerging Chinese company say. Whatever the purpose of this article is to investigate two very interesting questions about Deepseek: how it earns money and if it has the support of the Chinese government. Deepseek is already the Chinese symbol Just three days ago Zhou Xin, Josephine Ma and Matt Haldane, three editors of SCMPparticipated in a web seminar dedicated to the technological future of China. A priori he would not have had too much importance, but its content is not going unnoticed by one reason: they have shed light about some of the most relevant questions that flutter around Depseek. And, in addition, they have done it with solid arguments. Otherwise we would have overlooked it and we would not dedicate this article. High-Flyer uses advanced mathematical models and computational algorithms to make investment decisions According to Xin, Ma and Haldane at the time Depseek has not received any financing from the Chinese government. Your parent company is called high-flyer and is a quantitative coverage fund specialized in trading algorithmic. This simply means that this company uses Advanced mathematical models and computational algorithms to address investment decisions with the greatest possible success guarantees. Deepseek was born as a high-flyer secondary project to take advantage of its computer resources and “put one foot” in the AI ​​industry. At the moment there is no indication that reflects that it has received money from the Chinese administration, but the relevance it has achieved and the fact that it has raised as the most visible symbol of China in the AI ​​sphere invites us to accept that It is possible that in the future it does receive some type of support from the Xi Jinping government. The other great question in which we are worth investigating almost answered. As we have seen, Depseek is a free AI model. High-Flyer at the moment does not receive direct income derived from the use of its AI, so it supports the bulk of its operations with the money it enters Thanks to your quantitative trade business. However, like many other AI companies, it does charge for access to their models through its own API (application programming interface), which shows that Deepseek in the medium term can be erected as a very important source of income for Your parent company.

His biggest problem has not been money, but balance

by

Passing a vacation aboard a cruise is a tourist option increasingly demanded even for travelers high purchasing power. However, Mario Salcedo, a millionaire who made a fortune in finance, decided 25 years ago to turn his day to day on a vacation. Since then, he has been linking cruise trips making these colossi of the sea In your home. However, that life of luxuries aboard some of the biggest recreation ships has taken its toll: it has lost “its earth legs” and is no longer able to walk in a straight line when it arrives in the port. Live on vacation. The Millionaire of Cuban origin told In 2019 a The New York Times that he was never interested in forming a family, so his life on the mainland was only to work and work. So one day he decided to leave his apartment behind in Miami and cruise. The experience impacted him so much that since then he has been linking one cruise with another and now his house has several covers, swimming pools, dance tracks and some fleeting neighbors with which he socializes whenever he can. After being a regular between the passage of the Royal Caribbean companythe crew already knows him as Super Mario. “I have no vacation. People come here to spend a vacation. I don’t, I’m here to live my life,” explains the millionaire. Life on board. The Millionaire Investor uses a reserved table on one of the covers of the cruise in which it can be read on a handwritten sign “Super Mario’s office”. Obviously They do not refer to the Nintendo characterif not to the place from which the millionaire sits every day for a few hours before his laptop to telework. In this way, the more than 1,154 cruises that he has completed in his life on the high seas has been paid. The Millionaire claims to dedicate between $ 70,000 and $ 100,000 a year for their trips. The millionaire counted in An interview For Condé Nast magazine, who reserved an inner cabin without a balcony, because “I do nothing in my cabin but shower, dress and sleep,” he explained. The rest of the day could be found in his “office”, socializing with other travelers or dancing in one of the ship’s dance rooms. To avoid having to constantly changing cabin, Salcedo plans it with 150 reservations in advance, linking a journey with another. The worst of living in a cruise is to get to port. Everything would indicate that the greatest cost of living in a cruise is money. However, for “Super Mario” the greatest sacrifice is to go down to the ground. After more than 25 years rocked by the swing of the waves in the best cruises, the millionaire has developed a rare disease called Landing disease. This is a rare disorder that affects the vestibular system of the ear that affects the balance giving a constant sensation of movement even when it is stable and motionless on the mainland. It is popularly known as “earth legs.” Usually, this is a disorder that remains as much for a couple of days, but when your life transcurns on the high seas, and you only pass a total of fifteen days a year on land, the disease becomes chronic. “I have lost my land legs. I swing so much that I cannot walk in a straight line. I am so used to being in ships that I feel more comfortable than on land,” I said in his interview. It does not usually go down to land. It is unquestionable that Mario Salcedo is found aboard a cruise as a fish in the water, so, the few times that he goes down to the ground to take a plane that takes him to his next cruise, when they dock in Miami to verify that Everything is still in order in your apartment or when you have to make efforts with the bank or medical visits. Luckily, except for his problem with balance when Pisa Tierra Firme, the Millionaire Sexagenarian enjoys good health. A key factor for “Super Mario” to follow your adventure on the high seas, given that shipping companies prohibit That a person who needs constant medical care rises on board.

Military weapons and applications have ceased to be the great taboo of AI. There is too much money at stake

by

“These are my principles. If you don’t like it, I have others.” The famous phrase of Groucho Marx seems to be now the mantra of the AI ​​companies, which until not long ago were contrary to the application of AI for military and military purposes. That has changed for a simple reason: money. Google. As we explained just a few hours ago, Google is no longer shown contrary to the use of AI for war purposes. It is demonstrated by the fact that you have eliminated its “principles for AI” the paragraph that Precisely indicated that would not apply such technology “to technologies that cause or can cause harm.” They were other times. In April 2018, the controversy broke out when it was discovered that Google was collaborating with the Pentagon in the US for the development of A defense program called Project Maven. More than 3,000 Google employees openly protested An open letterwhich ended up causing a striking reaction by the firm: they set back and They canceled the project. Don’s Be Evil. That event seemed to return us to Google’s original mantra with his famous “Don’s Be Evil” (“Don’t be evil”). That message ended up being very criticized for the clear transition from Google of Startup striking and promising to a traditional company in which the Account Sheet is the absolute priority. The greats of AI want to take advantage of the reef. Google is not the first nor will it be the last to consider the development of AI systems for war purposes. Before she saw several cases. Anthropic It has been associated With Palantir –Like Microsoft– And AWS to offer its Claude model to US intelligence and defense agencies advertisement new terms with the same objective. OpenAi too has modified its terms of use and already negotiate contracts with the DOD, A lot of money at stake (but it could be much more). Military expenditure remains extraordinary, and the contracts of the US government agencies related to AI systems grew in the US 1,200% between 2022 and 2023. It is expected That in 2025 the expense (estimated at 1.8 billion dollars) is at least the same, and the priority of using this type of technology is high. It is an almost residual figure, especially considering that since 2023 the US military budget round the 830,000 million dollars. Be careful with the red button. In September 2024 it was held in South Korea The Reaim Summit on the potential use of AI systems for war purposes. The fundamental question that the Assistance countries were raised was if machines should make decisions about the use of nuclear weapons. Except for Chinathe rest of the countries were clear that the red button should only be able to press a human being. Russia also did not participate in the summit: it was banned by the Ukraine War. For an ethical use of the AI ​​in war conflicts. The countries that participated in the summit also signed an agreement under which the capacities of AI in the military field “must be applied in accordance with applicable national and international law. IA applications must be ethical and focused on the human being.” But weapons with AI have been on the battlefield for some time. It is demonstrated by the fact that technology is an integral part of the Ukraine War. Beyond the surprise to meet Steam Decks controlling powerful machine gunsin the conflict they are used for example Autonomous drones with AI They are able to set the goal and then attack it. And the regulation, what? The acquaintance Law of AI of the European Union precisely exempts (article 2, section 3) of these obligations to the AI ​​systems that are used exclusively for military, defense or national security purposes, regardless of whether they develop or use by public or private entities. What does the Ministry of Defense of Spain say. In a recent statement from the Spanish Ministry of Defense It is spoken precisely of the career of the military AI and “the marathon of human norms to regulate it”. There the conclusions of the Reaim Summit are reaffirmed: AI can be used for military purposes, but always guaranteeing “that AI does not threaten peace, security and world stability, do not violate human rights, do not avoid human control and do not hinder Other initiatives related to military technology. “ Image | Airman Magazine | United States Air Force In Xataka | China is the country that has increased its nuclear arsenal.

Google has more money, users and benefits than ever. It is also more scared than ever

by

Google has just announced financial results that at any other time would be a reason for celebration. Income by 12% higher, benefits fired by 28% and their cloud division growing at 30%. But Wall Street has responded with A 7% drop in its action In pre -opening. Google had never had so much, but it is also when you have to lose. Between the lines. The investment of 75,000 million dollars in AI for 2025, 47% above expected, is not read as a demonstration of strength but as a defensive reaction. Google is spending more than ever to defend its territory, while competitors like Deepseek have shown that it can be innovated in the much less. In figures. The numbers are overwhelming: Income: 96,470 million dollars (+12%). Net profit: 26,540 million (+28%). Google Cloud: 11,960 million (+30%). Investment in AI: 75,000 million planned for 2025. The backdrop. For the first time in its history, Google is on the defensive. The threat of generative AI to its search business is real and the company is forced to react to innovations of smaller competitors. An unthinkable scenario two years ago. The giant who changed the Internet is now chasing others, with competitors such as Deepseek demonstrating that competitive models can be created with a fraction of investment. Turning point. The turn in its principles of AI, eliminating restrictions on military use and mass espionageIt is a good reflection of this transformation. Google argues that “democracies must lead in AI”, an veiled way of expressing their concern for Chinese competition. The turn in its philosophy also arrives at a very specific moment: China has just announced An antimonopoly investigation against Googleand the company He has just lost a similar case in the United States. And now what. The paradox is clear: the more Google grows, the more vulnerable it seems. The 7% drop in the stock market after exceptional results confirms it. Investors see in the investment plan not a muscle demonstration, but the confirmation that even the almighty Google fears for their future.

I have tried Silbo Money, mobile payments without leaving WhatsApp. It’s like bringing cash to the mobile, for good and for the bad

by

A few weeks ago we talked about Money whistlethe Sevillian startup that integrates mobile payments in WhatsApp. Its approach is brilliant in its simplicity: instead of competing as another app, it is integrated into “the application we already use” par excellence to become our digital portfolio. The system operates inside WhatsAppwith minimal derivations to the browser. We add to our contacts and chat with a purely functional Bot. No canned responses or frustrating loops, only direct and functional interactions. The record is automatic and direct: we validate identity, we create a four -digit pin, and voila. This pin is requested when initiating a conversation or after a while of inactivity, balancing security and convenience. The registration process. The creation of the PIN is one of the processes for which Silbo sends us to the browser. Its main difference with Bizum It is structural: It works as an independent digital purse. While Bizum operates directly with our bank account, Silbo requires loading previous balance. It is moving the cash to the mobile. The loading process. This separation has two readings: An inconvenience: Add friction against Bizum. An advantage: Provides extra security when isolation from our account. The interface is pure pragmatism. It allows navigation for text commands and contextual buttons. The buttons guide the rookie, the commands speed up the expert. For example, if we write “balance” you will ask us if you show it in the chat or if you download it. If we write “Chat balance” you will show us directly. The Silbo Shares menu. A shipment of money … … and a money application (happily corresponded). By the way, the fluorine yellow that uses whistle as a brand image seemed to me somewhat strident at the beginning. After trying it, it is clear to me: it makes it easier to quickly locate the conversation with a Scroll visual. It stands out, and a lot. The most remarkable is how to take advantage of WhatsApp omnipresence. You don’t have to download another app or learn to use another interface, everything happens in a family environment. It even has a collection of Stickers Own that include messages such as “who pays rest”, perfect for using passive-agreesive tone. The withdrawal of the balance to our bank account. His challenge will be to achieve critical mass. Like whatsapp or bizum, You need adoption to be useful. Its advantage is to operate on WhatsApp, canonical in Spain. His challenge, convince users to take the step, especially considering Bizum’s current domain. In my tests I have done several operations: load balance, send money, claim it, receive it, withdraw it, consultations, etc. Everything works fluently, without complications or delays (the withdrawals take one or two days). The only real friction is the need to load previously balance. Overcome that step, the system is as natural as sending a message. Silbo optimizes more than revolutionary: take the mobile payment and simplify it by integrating it where we already live. It is pure pragmatism. Time will say if it manages to challenge Bizum.

The Civil Guard disarticulates a money laundering that moved three million euros per week in cryptocurrencies

by

The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to whitening capitals through cryptocurrencies. As reported by the agency, 23 people have been arrested in the operation and more than 30 million euros have been intervened, mostly in cryptoactives. Ifade-Yuzuk. That is the denomination that this operation has received whose beginnings date back to 2023, when the investigation began thanks to the “identification of suspicious actions within the framework of the Civil Guard prevention work” in certain Spanish airports. The criminal organization was “perfectly structured and hierarchized” and composed of at least 52 members. What did they do? As explained by the Civil Guard in A statementthe organization was dedicated to money laundering using crypts as a vehicle. The group “bought” the cash obtained illegally and compensated by cryptocurrency transactions, charging a commission between two and three percent. Subsequently, that cash was “sold” and compensated in cryptocurrencies paying similar commissions. “In this way, the organization managed to maintain stable balance in the wallets used, guaranteeing a cadence between four and six weekly operations, with a flow of three million euros a week,” says the Civil Guard. Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The money trail. The cash came from the sale of goods introduced in Spain opaquely for the tax authorities, such as falsifications. These products ended in Badalona (Barcelona) or Manises (Valencia) establishments, although the majority of premises involved were in a Madrid town. The money was extracted from Spain through commercial flights, clandestinely or through statements of means of payment. The main destination was Cyprus, although later criminals began using road transport to sell illicit money both in Spain and in France and Portugal. As the Civil Guard details, “cash deliveries have been detected in different Spanish provinces (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante), Cyprus, France and Portugal.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard An operation of several countries. Operation IFADE-YUZUK has had two phases. One in the Ortrew of 2024, dedicated to the disarticulation of the organization in Spain, Cyprus and France; and another in November focused on its customers. The coordination of the judicial and fiscal authorities of Spain, Chipre and Germany, as well as the Europol and Eurojust, has been required. It has also cooperated with T3 TCE (initiative of Tron, Tether and TRM Labs companies), thanks to which the preventive blockade of more than 26.4 million USDT “has been achieved; and with Binance, which has blocked “29 accounts with balances worth approximately $ 152,000.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The result. All this operation has been paid with 90 records in homes and social venues, of which 77 have been in Spain. 23 arrests have also been carried out, 20 of which have been in national territory.

give up fast money to win the war

by

Openai has chosen a conservative path to Operator: limit it to users of Chatgpt Prothose who pay 200 dollars a month. Only they can access this tool that automates tasks on the web. It is what OpenAi describes as a “prior research view”, and that lets us glimpse more an experiment than a finished product. Why is it important. The IA giant continues to prioritize product refinement over immediate income. 200 dollars a month per user capable of using operator are many dollars … but that is an important limit to its adoption in this phase. And it is deliberate. Between the lines. Openai has signed alliances with companies such as Dordash, Instacart, Priceline, Openable or Uber. That could suggest trade agreements to monetize operator on the side of the companies, but the OpenAi Coo, Brad Lightcap, has been blunt in the Wall Street Journal: There is no financial relationship in these collaborations. They are only optimizing the user experience to become more compatible with Operator. Therefore, the income that Operator now will come exclusively from Pro subscriptions. But that can change in the future: Openai has announced expansion plans to Users Plus, Team and Enterprise. He has also promised to release the API of Your Cua model (Computer-Useing agent) For developers. At the moment, there are no dates for either of those two promises. In perspective. Openai operates in a market with a giant potential. Analysts expect that The generative AI will move more than one billion dollars a year in less than a decade. However, Openai is betting on perfecting operator with a controlled implementation rather than maximizing short -term income. The bet. Initially limiting operator to its most committed and enthusiastic users (those who pay $ 200 per month), OpenAi seeks feedback quality. The one that is most capable of giving this type of user. In addition, errors are less expensive in this phase, and more valuable learning. This strategy suggests something: that the monetization plans with greater reach will come when the product is more mature. Deepen. Openai’s caution is striking because it contrasts with its aggressiveness on other fronts. For example, a few days ago we knew that it was also part of the Stargate projectvalued in half a billion dollars. Operator seems like an experimental strategic project, but not so much an immediate source of income. In Xataka | OpenAi prepares an AI with a doctoral level.

Canelo Álvarez reveals the key to his success: “I never did it for money”

by

Currently Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez is one of the best boxers pound for pound. The Mexican has an extensive career of more than 15 years as a professional and has managed to stay at the level of the greatest for a long time.

Stating that the love for boxing has been what has helped him establish himself as one of the best of the decade. “The discipline of sport, you know.

Canelo Álvarez during his victory against Edgar Berlanga.Credit: John Locher | AP “I always tell young people: “Don’t look at this sport to make money, the money comes by itself. Do it well, with discipline, with love and the money will come by itself.”. That is the difference between the majority and me, that many do it just for the profits and I don’t,” concluded the current super middleweight world champion. In his extensive career as a boxer Canelo has a positive record of 62-2-2 with 39 victories by knockout. Álvarez was until very recently the absolute super middleweight champion, until the International Boxing Federation stripped him of his belt after refusing to defend it against mandatory challenger William Scull.
