opened

The question now is why the car was not opened.

by

A Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has caught fire after a serious accident on Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu, the largest city in western China. The accident, which took place around 3:16 AM on October 13, has ended the life of the driver, a 31-year-old man who was trapped inside the vehicle while the flames consumed it. The images of the event have once again generated an intense debate on the safety of electronic handles in electric cars, a topic that It became popular after the first Tesla to incorporate this feature and that they have adopted a good part of the vehicles in the premium segment. China is about to change this regulation. What happened. The driver, identified by authoritieshit another sedan, crossed the median of the road and the car immediately caught fire. Several drivers passing by the area stopped to try to help him. The videos show how they tried to break the windows by hitting them with their elbows and shoes, without success. They then used a fire extinguisher, but the flames and intense heat prevented them from getting closer. After the firefighters arrived, who put out the fire, only the chassis remained: they had to use hammers and electric saws to cut the doors, which could not be opened manually. Why didn’t the doors open? local police confirmed that the driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. However, the focus of the controversy has focused in the vehicle’s electronic handles, which allegedly remained locked throughout the fire. Although some users on social networks they speculate Since the locking system was activated after the impact, the Chengdu and Xiaomi Auto authorities have not yet issued an official statement in this regard. This type of handles, popularized by Tesla a decade ago with the Model S, they depend on electrical energy to function, and in the event of a loss of power after an accident, they can prevent the occupants from exiting. The impact on Xiaomi. Xiaomi shares in Hong Kong fell up to 9% during the day on Monday, closing with a loss of 5.71%. It was the worst day for the company since April. This is not the first fatal accident involving a vehicle from the Chinese brand: at the end of March, an SU7 that was traveling in intelligent driving mode hit an obstacleburned and killed three university students. That event led Xiaomi to announce in September the software update of its driving assistance system in almost 116,900 SU7 units, after the Chinese regulator warned that the system could fail to detect certain scenarios. A problem that goes beyond Xiaomi. The safety of electronic door handles is part of a hot debate that involves the entire electric vehicle industry. In September, the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation on Tesla for the handles of the Model Y manufactured since 2021, after it was learned that several people were injured or died when they could not open the doors when power was lost, especially after accidents. In another case earlier this month, a wrongful death lawsuit alleged that the Cybertruck’s door handle system caught a 19-year-old young man inside the burning vehicle. Also Rivian is redesigning the doors of its upcoming R2 SUV to include a more visible manual opening system following concerns from its employees. What does Chinese regulations say? The country has a public consultation phase your new standards security. These standards also include changes that are specifically aimed at the use of electronic door handles in vehicles. These changes are expected to come into effect soon, so they should put even more pressure on automakers to develop these types of levers.

Openai has just opened the door to a new way of using apps with chatgpt

by

The next time you ask for Chatgpt Help you mount the playlist for your birthday, the chatbot may go one step further. You may propose to do it directly with Spotify and, if you connect your account, offer you add the list to your profile with a single touch. And not only is limited to Spotify. Openai has just considered a new way of using applications. The company directed by Sam Altman has announced An update that allows you to use apps from the conversation window itself, in natural language and without the need to open eyelashes or leave the chat. Some functions also incorporate small visual interfaces adapted to the chatbot environment to offer a more fluid experience. A few apps to start. In order for applications to work within Chatgpt, developers must integrate OpenAi SDK and accept their conditions, designed to guarantee a safe experience. The project is still in an early stage. The SDK is in preliminary version and, for now, only seven companies participate in the pilot. Openai has selected them to show how this new applications integration within the chat will work: Booking.com Canva Coursera Figma Expedia Spotify Zillow How apps are used in chatgpt. There are two ways to use them. The first is to mention them directly if we know they are compatible. The second, more automated, occurs when Chatgpt himself suggests connecting an app to continue a task. It is an interesting function, although it can be somewhat invasive for some users. For example, if we have a linked Canva, it would be enough to write “Canva, can you turn this scheme into a presentation?” The application would generate different versions from the content. With Expedia, we could ask you to look for hotels in Chicago with King bed for less than $ 250 a night, and the integrated app in charge of the rest. The striking of this new generation of applications is how it combines family interactive elements, such as maps, lists or presentations, with the naturalness of a conversation. There are limitations. At the moment, the novelty has clear limits. Only a few apps are compatible, the support is available only in English and, at least for now, it cannot be used in the European Union. Openai has not explained the reasons, although everything points to the privacy regulations that usually slow the launch of new artificial intelligence functions in the region. The company states that it works to offer it “soon” also in the community block. Security and privacy. By using integrated applications, users are subject to both OpenAI terms and those of each connected service. The company has urged developers to “include clear privacy policies, collect only the necessary minimum data and be transparent with the requested permits.” It also promises “more granular” privacy controls so that each user can decide which specific categories or data can use each application to customize the results. The data business. The data is the new gold. Not literally, but in value. From the beginning of segmented advertising to the rise of artificial intelligence, companies have demonstrated a voracious appetite for user information. That is why it is convenient to review the privacy policies of the applications that we use: to understand how our data is collected and process, at this point, almost as important as using them.

Ukraine has opened Moscow drone to electronic war. From Russia it only has the name, the rest is one of the allies

by

The “unboxing” of Russian drones intercepted by the Ukrainian forces has revealed everything, since hidden messages until The origin of many of the technology components (with big surprises). It has also been known to what extent China is part of the war machinery or that even Nvidia has a fundamental role. Now, Moscow’s last drone, the most sophisticated, has fallen into Ukrainian hands. The last drone. The Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service He has revealed Detailed information about The Geran-3a new Russian attack drone derived from the Shahed-238 Iranian. Its incorporation into Russian arsenal represents a qualitative leap against to the geran-2: Reach speeds of up to 370 km/h thanks to Your turbojet engineIt has a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers and culminates its attacks with a terminal immersion maneuver that makes it detonate when impacting. Its massive deployment this year reflects the Russian bet for Kamikaze drones increasingly sophisticated and produced in large volumes. Design and capacities. The Geran-3 maintains the basic configuration of its predecessor, including similar cameras and transmission systems, but incorporates a satellite navigation system that, According to Ukraineis resistant to TElectronic War Ecnics usual. This armor against interference is an added challenge, since it limits the effectiveness of the electronic methods that until now managed to neutralize part of the enemy drones. The internal design reproduces previous, but optimized schemes for the highest speed and to cross areas under strong anti -aircraft coverage. Dependence on the “allies.” The surprising, or perhaps at this point Not so muchis that Hur’s investigation suggests that drone contains almost 50 pieces of foreign originfrom countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany and China. This fact reveals the difficulties of controlling The proliferation of two -use technology: although international sanctions seek to limit Russia’s access to critical components, global supply chains allow pieces manufactured in the West or Asia They end in military systems through intermediaries. The case underlines, one more timethe limits of the embargo measures and the need to reinforce technological traceability. Mass production Russia ha multiplied production of drones of the Shahed family, reaching industrial levels that allow massive attacks of enormous size. In fact, offensives have already been registered with More than 800 drones In a single night and western intelligence estimates consider it possible that Moscow can launch up to 2,000 units In a single coordinated attack. In addition, new launch centers are being built, demonstrating a planned saturation strategy to wear Ukrainian defenses and force a high economic cost in your response. Ukraine and new defenses. Given this panorama, Ukraine has accelerated production of interceptor drones capable of pursuing and demolishing objectives in flight. These systems, cheaper than conventional anti-aircraft missiles, seek to balance the cost-effect equation that currently favors Russia. In parallel, they are being deployed acoustic and optical sensors For early detection, along with tactical adaptations on the ground. kyiv tries to create a flexible and low -cost antidron shield, aware that the main threat resides in the volume and persistence of these attacks. Strategic implications. The Geran-3 symbolizes The new phase of the drone war: cheap, fast and difficult systems to neutralize that force adversaries to spend much more expensive resources in their defense. This dynamic erosion classical military doctrines and demands from the West coordinate production, exchange intelligence and reinforce export controls to prevent sensitive pieces from feeding the Russian arsenal. If you want also, the conflict shows that the technological war is no longer freed with great cost strategic weapons, but with swarms of autonomous systems whose proliferation is difficult to stop. Perspectives and risks. The appearance of the Geran-3 He anticipates an escalation in which Russia will bet on mass and persistent attacks to saturate Ukrainian defenses, while kyiv and their allies look for economic and rapid solutions to counteract. Thus, each advance in speed, autonomy or resistance A electronic countermeasures multiply the risk that the balance be tilted in favor of who can sustain serial production. In that field, Ukraine needs both technological innovation and industrial and financial support of its partners, because the drone war is emerging as a decisive component of the conflict.

In 1975 they buried “the worst car in the world” under a 45 -ton concrete vault. Now, they have opened the time capsule

by

Is it possible to maintain an unchanged object over the years, the decades or even the centuries? This is what the time capsules try to get, containers in which a sample of various objects is saved with the intention of checking years later if they have resisted the passage of time. Or with the intention that, in the future, the descendants of our descendants have objects that allow them to understand how we lived. Those Time capsules They have buried themselves for scientific purposes (The MIT has several distributed by their facilities that celebrate special events) or have been sent to space. But they have also resulted in crazy particular projects such as Harold Davisson, a local merchant who decided that his was going to contain a car. Specifically, a completely new Chevrolet Vega. Finally open This year, summer in Seward (Nebraska) began in a different way. Hundreds of people gathered in this town of less than 7,000 inhabitants to contemplate what life was 50 years ago. They did not project a documentary on the wall, neither did any of the people live then. They simply opened the one that, in their day, was the largest time capsule in the world. 50 years ago, Harold Davisson, a city place decided to bury thousands of objects so that their grandchildren had a first -hand contact with the past. How did he? Simp NBC News. Among the thousands of objects were letters written by Trish Davisson’s parents, the son who fulfilled his father’s dream when he opened the time capsule. But also thousands of objects donated by neighbors 50 years ago. One of them, they collect in the American environment, was excited to discover the invitation of their wedding. But, without a doubt, the most striking object recovered was a completely intact Chevrolet Vega. The car was a purchase of the creator of the time capsule, who looked around the cheapest car he could buy. Its price was not accidental. The Vega gave so much reliability problems that was known by the nickname “Worse car in the world”. Released in 1970, it is not uncommon for the creator of this time capsule will find the car at a good price. He Chevy Vega was born to be the best car among the most affordable options on the market. From maintenance to fuel consumption, with the Volkswagen Beetle and the first Japanese compacts pressing in the market. But Chevrolet wanted to hurry to throw the car that the result was catastrophic. Fifty years after your purchase, now nobody knows what will happen to this Vega so particular. In MotorpasionTrish Davisson’s words rescue who points to this Vega could be the model with less kilometers from all over the world. With small damage of rust on the hood and in the steering wheel, they now consider if the car will end in a museum although nothing has been confirmed. The Chevrolet Vega was, last July, the crown jewel of the opening of the time capsule. This has also been surrounded by a certain controversy because for years it was the largest time capsule in the world. In 1983, however, Guinness record judges withdrew this category after Oglethorpe University (Georgia, United States) protest ensuring that its time capsule not only It was bigger, it was also older. Angry with the situation Davisson decided that he was going to build a new pyramid -shaped appendix to recover the throne. Since 2000, however, the record has a time capsule designed in Guilford (Surrey, United Kingdom) in which representative objects have been kept on what life was like during the change of millennium.

Ukraine has just opened the tanks used by Russia. The surprise is capital: West has manufactured them

by

In the war there are also “unboxing”, but of combat drones. In fact, this is how they have been revealed from hidden messages of the troops of Moscow, until The origin of the vast majority of technology components (with big surprises). It was also revealed to what extent China is part of the war machinery, or even that the power of these unmanned combat planes has Nvidia as an engine major. What we did not know so far is what was inside the Russian tanks. Foreign dependence. Yeah, Revelation of Ukrainian intelligence on the massive use of Western and Asian teams in the production of Russian tanks has revealed to what extent Kremlin’s industrial self -sufficiency It is compromised. He Updated report Del Gur details more than 260 high precision machines employed by uralvagonzavodthe only great manufacturer of combat cars in Russia and responsible for the entire range of T-seriesfrom the V-72 veterans to him T-14 Armata. Made in the West. The majority of these teams, which include American vertical lathes, Italian folding German machining centers and presses, were acquired in the fifteen years prior to 2022during military modernization prior to the invasion of Ukraine. In other words, although they do not constitute violations of the most recent sanctions, their presence in Russian factories raises a continuity problem: Without spare parts or software updates, armored production runs the risk of degrading quickly. The central role of Uralvagonzavod. Based in the urales, Uralvagonzavod It concentrates the heart of the Russian capacity of armor, holding a production that is estimated at 20 to 30 new tanks per month, despite the pressure of the war. In 2024 he opened a equipped engines plant with European CNC machinesevidence of how even in the middle of the war campaign Russia continued to benefit from foreign technology through indirect routes and third countries. The gur warns That these deliveries, although more complicated and expensive due to the sanctions, have not stopped, which keeps alive the assembly line of the Russian armored ones. The paradox is that the Soviet industrial prestige, once a symbol of self -sufficiency, now rests largely on the legacy of foreign machinery. The strategic dimension. The Published list By Ukraine, which also collects 42 types of equipment from Austria, Japan, South Korea and China, points to a broader pattern: Russia uses a total of 1,396 foreign machines in 169 factories linked to the invasion. Each of these teams It is documented through contracts, recordings and files of state acquisitions, which gives the probative weight to the complaint. The Ukrainian message seems clear: when cutting access to spare parts, technical fluids and software licenses, the Russian military industrial base can be strangled. kyiv has proposed Reinforced diligence measures, such as adding GPS trackers to exported machines and demanding in situ inspections, in order to prevent their products from ending up holding the enemy war industry. Vulnerability mirrors. We have counted before. The finding of Western components and Chinese in drones long -range manufactured by Moscow, local versions of the Iranian Shahed, reinforces the thesis that the Russian military industry depends critically on foreign pieces. Kremlin can hide this weakness With propaganda On its technological autonomy, but in practice its war machine is based on gears manufactured in countries that are today part of the Block that sanctions it. Putin himself, aware of the limits of production, He publicly admitted In April that “there are not enough weapons”, reflecting the tensions between the self -sufficiency discourse and the reality of an industry that, without access to the West, runs the risk of being paralyzed. The industrial Achilles heel. If you want, the Ukrainian complaint converts the Russian dependence on a strategic Achilles heel: while its army spends armored in the front at a higher pace, the ability to manufacture new depends on Machines that do not control. If the sanctions manage to isolate Moscow with spare parts and services, the ability to sustain their war effort could deteriorate irreversibly. When exposing these vulnerabilities, kyiv not only seeks to weaken the enemy, but also directly involve To Western manufacturers and governments in the supervision of their export chains, remembering that another battle is fought in the Ural workshops: that of the industrial pulse that can decide war.

For a while to this Ukrainian part has turned the opening of the different Russian drones confiscated or fallen in combat in the closest to research pieces to third parties. Thus they have revealed from hidden messages of the troops of Moscow, until The origin of the vast majority of technology components (with big surprises). It has also been known to what extent China is part of the war machinery. Now you have to add to a new and important actor: Nvidia. Drones with ia. We have gone counting: The drone war in Ukraine has entered into A new phasewith both sides competing for deploying systems endowed with artificial intelligence capable of Resist electronic interference and attack objectives autonomously. The chip. What has now known is that Russia, despite the sanctions that should prevent access to Nvidia hardware, has managed to incorporate Its powerful Jetson processors in several of the most advanced drones models, obtained by contraband in small lots and through third countries. These chips, fundamental in the development of AI due to their parallel processing capacity, allow to integrate advanced navigation, recognition and guided functions that increase lethality and reduce dependence on control links vulnerable to blockages. Nvidia and the technological basis. Nvidia, valued in more than Four billion dollars and around 85% of the global market From chips for AI, it produces both high performance units for data centers and Jetson compact plates for edge devices, including drones. The latter, low relative cost, They have demonstrated in competitions of 2021 and 2023 its capacity to defeat human pilots In FPV races, using only sensors and processing on board. The version Jetson Orincurrent standard in advanced drones, multiply by ten the power of your predecessor Tx2opening the door to autonomous navigation algorithms, detection of complex objectives and maneuvers such as swarm. Digital predators. In 2023 It was discovered that Russian drones Lancet, with 11 kg of weight and scope of 40 km, They used the Jetson Tx2 For automatic monitoring functions, increasing impact precision even if communication was lost. After an initial phase of problems in 2024, software improvements raised from 30% to 60% the percentage of impacts guided by AI. Forbes counted that the new generation includes three key models with Jetson Orin: the Shahed modified MS001that Combine Satellite navigation, thermal chamber and objective recognition; The V2Uof four wings and 40 km of reach, with navigation by comparison of land and sequential attack capacity in basic swarm, and the Tyuvika small version of the Shahed with 32 km of reach, designed to hunt moving vehicles and manufactured with commercial components. Capacities and limitations. The MS001, in addition to its autonomous navigation, can Identify and attack Objectives without depending exclusively on preprogrammed coordinates. The V2U, with a high -resolution camera, laser telemeter and digital modem, can Tour routes Looking for whites, although his discrimination is imperfect and has registered erroneous attacks. Your mode of teamworkdistinguishing drones by color marks and attacking in shifts, represents an advance towards the coordinated swarm. The Tyuvik, lighter, points to saturate defenses by low cost and mass production. In all cases, software and hardware are scalable and compatible between platforms, which allows to incorporate simultaneously the entire fleet. Strategic implications. No doubt, these advances bring the end of the drones not endowed with in high intensity environments. With software systems as Flir prism either Auterion Skynodenew functions (from air combat to advanced swarm) can be implemented quickly and with reduced costs. Hardware proliferation Like Jetsonaccessible in the global and difficult to control market, makes this technology “out of the bottle” and available for any state or non -state actor. On the Ukrainian front, where drone saturation marks the combat rhythm, the combination of flexible production, advanced AI and autonomous capabilities multiply the threat and redefine the balance in the Low Cota Air War.

China has just opened the first megatienda of humanoid robots. What comes later promises even more

by

What will it be to buy a robot like who buys a car? China responds with “Robot Mall”a megatienda in Beijing that its promoters present as the first 4S for humanoids: sales, spare parts, service and feedback of the user under the same roof. The idea is simple and ambitious at the same time, converting curiosids for daily use and maintenance contracts. What is a 4S (and why does it matter now). In China, the 4S was the answer to a simple question: what if I buy and maintain my car in the same place? This model is now exported to robots: a place to see what they do, how much they cost and how they remain with spare parts and technical service, in addition to measuring the customer experience. If it works, it converts curiosids for humanoids into informed purchase decisions. The appointment is in Yizhuang, the Beijing Alta District also known as Beijing E-Town. He opened on August 8, in parallel to the World Robot Conference (from August 8 to 12), and occupies four floors with about 4,000 square meters. On the ground floor, Immersive demonstrations of real uses in industry and health Together with reference humanoids such as Unitree G1, Ubtech Walker S or “Tiangong”. The second level is more interactive, with brain-machine interfaces, robotic arms and participatory exhibitions; the third centralizes diagnosis, replacement of components and remote operation and maintenance; The fourth floor is designed to close B2B agreements in negotiation rooms. What can you see and do there. There are seven major categories: medical, industrial, company, bionic, integrated, biped and wheels. Among the demonstrations, a robotic dog dressed in lion, a humanoid that dispenses traditional Chinese medicine, arms that paint, machines that brings or prepare coffee, and others that remove pharmacy boxes or serve drinks from a bar. Scenes that are a reflection of how advanced this technology is, but also of the path that still has. Are they sold to the public? Not all robots are ready to leave the store towards a living room or factory, but many can be bought or hired. Prices start around 260 euros (2,000 yuan) – thought for simple company or educational models – and scale up to several million yuan, a high range that is equivalent to several hundred thousand euros according to the platform and its configuration. In most cases, the sale includes installation, training and technical service. In the 4S format, the last “S” refers to Survey, which in this context means collecting the opinion and experience of the customer after the purchase. In Robot Mall this translates into periodic reviews, remote diagnosis, parts replacement and technical assistance, but also to collect data on how robots are used on a day -to -day basis. That information returns to the manufacturer to refine functions, improve reliability and prepare future versions. Why now. In 2024, China manufactured 556,000 industrial robots and concentrated two thirds of the world’s robotics patents, according to data from the Xinhua news agency. With figures thus, the opening of Robot Mall is no accident: it is part of a strategy to get the humanoids from the laboratory, put them in real environments and reinforce a sector that in Yizhuang already moves more than 10,000 million yuan in annual production value. What comes later. Robot Mall will not stay in this initial version. According to those responsible, in November 2025 they promise a 2.0 version, with more types of more varied robots and use scenarios. The idea is to expand demonstrations to more realistic environments and add manufacturers, reinforcing the role of Yizhuang as a nerve center of robotics in China. The images speak for themselves. The AP agency has prepared a photographic gallery with some of the best moments of the opening of Robot Mall. You can enjoy them directly from your website.

The production of Russian drones was so huge that Ukraine has opened them looking for clues. The surprise is China

by

The situation It is not new In Ukraine. In the past they have opened Russian Shahed and other intercepted models to find out what was behind the device. Thus they found some paradoxes of the war, such as the fact that Moscow drones carried a wide variety of components of the United States or of kyiv’s allies. However, from a while to this part, Russian production was so immense that suspicions began. Someone else should be behind, and a document has just revealed it. Made in China. First it was Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia is managing to maintain and expand its weapons production despite Western sanctions, and is achieving it thanks to the constant supply of electronic components and materials from Chinaaccording to Vladyslav Vlasiuk, Ukrainian commissioner for sanctions, in a context of intensification of Russian attacks with missiles and drones. The recent appearance of Manufactured parts In China in Shahed-136/Geran-2 drones recovered in Kyiv, added to previous reports on the involvement of Chinese companies in the Russian military supply chain, it reinforced what Ukraine qualifies as a Alcanza trend In Chinese technological support to Moscow. Vlasiuk warned that Beijing is not only expanding its logistics role, but already replicates US technologies, which increases its ability to support the Russian military complex. The document that certifies it. From the first bars of the large -scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has urgently sought forms of strengthen your arsenal of drones, key in the new paradigm of asymmetric war that is fought both in the front and in the sky. An essential part of that answer It has been Aero-Hita little known firm based in Khabarovsk, at the eastern end of Russia, which has emerged as one of the main drone manufacturers of the country thanks to a dense network of covert cooperation with Chinese companies. That is precisely what has been revealed thanks to documents obtained by Bloomberg. The medium counted a few hours ago how, despite Western sanctions, Russia has managed to channel components, technical knowledge and sensitive technologies From China Through intermediary companies, agreements in special customs areas and personal relationships with actors linked to both the industry and the Russian state apparatus. One of the Russian drones pieces shared by Ukrainian intelligence Strategic link. Aero-Hit’s production focuses on The Veles modela low -cost and high precision FPV drone that has already been deployed in military operations in zones Like sweaters. The United States Treasury Department itself sanctioned the company For the use of these drones against Ukrainian objectives, confirming their role in the Russian war machinery. The development of Veles has been reinforced by collaborations with Autel Roboticsa Chinese drone manufacturer that officially denies any link with Russia since 2022, but whose technology is repeatedly mentioned in the internal correspondence of Aero-Hit and in joint investment plans for more than 90 million dollars. A letter. According to a June 2025 letter published By Bloombergboth parties had restored technical contacts and negotiated the localized production of the model AUTEL EVO MAX 4Tan initially civil drone that has demonstrated high efficacy in combat thanks to its resistance to electronic interference. This process would not only imply integration into Russian systems, but also direct transfer Firmware, purification methods and repair capabilities, which reinforces the strategic value of the agreement. Khabarovsk: Moscow-Pekín axis pole. The epicenter of this operation is The city of Khabarovska few 30 kilometers from the Chinese border. There, since 2022, agreements have been woven between the Komax company (Property of the exagent of the KGB and occupation senator in Jersón Konstantin Basyuk) and representatives of the Chinese government, including officials in the Harbin Free Zone and the prestigious Harbin Technology Institute (HIT), a university linked to the Popular Liberation Army and sanctioned by the United States for developing advanced weapons. Between 2022 and 2023 They formalized plans To create an assembly plant with customs tax advantages, including sending 100 drone kits From China and official visits to Factories from Shenzhen, including the headquarters of Autel Robotics. The initiative received high-level political support, with meetings between Russian officials and Chinese executives during the Chinese-Russia Business Forum of 2024, and was cataloged as “priority” By Yury Trutnev, special envoy of the Kremlin for the Far East. Intermediaries and camouflage network. Bloomberg underlined that Aero-Hit, officially registered after these contacts, has undercover its relationship with China through a intermediary networkwhich includes fictitious or camouflaged signatures under other activities (such as air catering companies, seafood distribution or real estate logistics) that serve to manage orders, billing and transport. More: Documents of March and August 2024 show Drones deliveries to units deployed in Jersón and official requests from the Russian Defense Ministry to acquire thousands of Veles units, together with antennas and accessories. Companies such as Renewsio-Invest and Shenzhen Huasheng Industry (both sanctioned by the United States) have been key in the supply of pieces and electronics from China, even after the new commercial restrictions imposed by Beijing in 2023. Although some Chinese firms retired from the project for fear of sanctions, others They occupied their placeguaranteeing the continuity of the supply chain. Ukrainian forces after intercepting a Russian shahed Official ambiguity and mutual benefit. Autel Robotics has insisted on deny any link With Russia or Aero-Hit since February 2022, claiming that it is a civil company without military licenses and with strict compliance policies. However, the Documents obtained They suggest that links could be mediating through individual engineers, subsidiaries or intermediary vendors. Beijing, meanwhile, argues that he has never delivered lethal weapons to no side in war and strictly controls two -use goods exports such as drones, although the real depth of Chinese government knowledge about these transfers continues without clarifying. The persistence of technological flow from China to Russia raises uncomfortable questions about the effectiveness of the sanctions regime global and about the nature of the declared neutrality By the Government of Xi Jinping, at a time when the diplomatic pressure on Beijing intensifies. Prolonged war perspectives. Meanwhile, the Aero-Hit … Read more

There are people using AI to “invent” their own memories from photographs. And that has opened a philosophical debate

by

In the photo the kid smiles, abholly happy. His mother, also smiling, hugs him while looking at the camera. The photo could be that of any of us with our mother, but with this happens one thing: that an AI has made it a video. One that immediately has the potential to become a memory. A memory of lie. That photo shared it in x Alexis Ohanian, co -founder of Reddit, millionaire and entrepreneur. Ohanian – caught with Serena Williams since 2017 – told in that message how when he created that video innocently “I was not prepared for how I would make me feel this.” In his family they had no video camera, so he never had a video with his mother. So almost without thinking he used that photo in the newly released Midjourney video generator so that from it generated a video for AI. The result left him astonished. “This is how she hugged me,” he explained. “I have seen it 50 times again.” But with that message A great moral and philosophical debate was unleashed. One about how something like this can impact us individually and as a society. While Ohanian himself He defended himself Before those who criticized the idea (“I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t use AI for this”) others They explained to him that those memories were not real: “Creating a video for someone loved is not to create a memory of them. You are putting words they never said in their mouth.” As said Another user named Erich Thilow, “is (a memory). But seeing it will make it real in your memory. I am not a fan of something like that.” Other users took advantage of cinema as the center of the debate. A user named Vanillaelle shared A Harry Potter photogram revealing with a false memory of his parents in the mirror (which has inspired the image of this theme). Another user called Andro toward The analogy with ‘Matrix‘. In that movie, he explained, one to see her wondered why people would want to face reality. “Now he doesn’t have to ask him,” said said user. The era of false memories That new capacity of the generative AI Generate false memories It is disturbing, and it could well be part of that concept already studied in psychology. These lies memories did not happen or are the distortion of a real event, and according to experts, such as the American psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, it is possible to induce them such as hypnosis or with techniques such as the essay: repetitions of an event that was confirmed as fantastic. Upon listening or visualizing the same event, the person can begin to remember as if it had really happened. That idea thrown by this psychologist also collects it Francisco Taberneroclinical psychologist in Puertollano (Ciudad Real). According to him “memories are usually quite distorted”, but for him there is no special risk in that type of process that converts a photo into a souvenir of lie: “The general experience of memory will be subjective and more or less the same we had. I do not think that a few seconds of movement change the memory that you already had. At the emotional level the memory is all emotion, what causes you remains the same as what you have told to the AI.” Loftus – criticized by the pseudoscientific concept he created, the “false memory syndrome” – published A study In this regard, together with Ira E. Hyman Jr., and both explained how “memory is always constructive. People create the past based on the information that remains in memory, in general knowledge, and on social demand to recall situations.” Ethical and moral issues are definitely huge, and to talk about them we wanted to contact more experts. Santiago Sánchez-Migallón (The von Neumann machine) It is defined as a “philosopher of AI” and is usual collaborator of Xataka. For him, “we must understand the emergence of a technology as an opportunity and no, a priori, as something perverse only because of the fact that he treats a delicate issue as, in this case, the death or authenticity of memories.” Sánchez-Migallón makes it clear that the first thing is to make technology safe and that the user “can differentiate true and false memories”, but assured this, this expert thinks that with this technology it would be possible to help “erase traumas” and even imagine a not very distant future in which it was possible to gain procedural memories or skills: “Could we record in our brain the ability to play the piano or talk?” Darío Benítezpsychologist and co -founder of PSYCHOFLIX and of the podcast Validlyit is optimistic with AI, but you see “few or no advantage” to this type of application because “if you are reliving an image of a loved one you expose yourself to an emotion that you did not expect and that can rekindle a type of duel that you had already prosecuted.” Something like that, he indicates, can change the perception of your values ​​because this type of lies memories “can make you feel that you lived them and that that effectively happened.” It is like Ohanian’s own example. For Benítez it could happen that in the video generated the mother looked at the child with a subtle disdain and generated a reaction of the type “yes, it is true that my mother did not treat me at all well”, thus generating a hallucination that connects with another idea that perhaps had of her past, which in that case would be of the type “my childhood was not so good.” All that “would even more entangle things,” says this psychologist. The danger of being able to mold memory An technology also has another danger that we have already perceived in many other technological areas. Especially in mobile phones and social networks, which tend to isolate us and catch us in the doomscrolling. With these videos created by generative, “it could be … Read more

North Korea has just opened its own “Benidorm” for 20,000 tourists. The mystery is now who will go there

by

To Kim Jong-un we usually see him dispatching with uniformed subordinates or supervising missile throws, always cooling in his everlasting MAO neck suit. Much less common is to see it as This Tuesdaywhen it was recorded sitting in a folding chair with a soda and a package of cigarettes while contemplating how people slid down a huge water slide. Nothing strange if we consider that what Kim was doing was neither more nor less than inaugurate The “New Benidorm” North Korea. The Great question Now, after the fanfare and pomp of the inauguration is: How the hell is intended to fill it a hermetic and suspicious country of foreign tourism? Welcome to Wonsan Kalma. North Korea already has His particular Benidorm. Officially, with opening tape cut and fireworks included. Tuesday The leader of the nation, Kim Jong-un, went to the new Megacomplex Kangwon tourist to preside over the start -up of one of its biggest projects: a Marina D´or to the Korean, with aquatic parks, hotels, beach kilometers and ability to accommodate 20,000 guests. MAO NECK WITHOUT. Kim Jong-un is more or less common to see him dispatched with subordinates, meeting with other leaders and supervising missile launches or warships (not always). And in all these cases its aesthetic is usually identical: gray or black suit, usually of the mao neck, and sober expression. Wonsan Kalma is a place of recreation, so there he offered a more informal picture and enjoyed a mass bath which K-pop star. Kim also appeared accompanied by his wife, Ri Sol-Juwho had had a year and a half away from the spotlights, and his daughter Ju-Aeof 12 years already the one that usually signs up as the future heiress of the family saga. Next to them Kim walked along Wonsan beach, inspected the hotels and even sat on a folding chair (refreshment and pitillo by hand) to see how a comrade slid down a water slide. Neither easy nor fast. Wonsan-Kalma is news because North Korea He has just given it By inaugurated, but in reality the project is not new, much less unknown. Moreover, he has been talking about him since 2013, when Kim Jong-un, then just enthroned in the Korea Workers Party advertisement His desire to turn Wonsan into a “tourist city.” Curious bet if one takes into account that the authorities had used the region to Try your missiles. That Kim opts precisely in that area of ​​North Korea is no coincidence: he grew up there, surrounded by luxury, and his coast is bathed by the sea of ​​Japan. The idea was that the new tourist complex was Ready in 2022but on the way several inconveniences crossed: the covid and a serious shortage of materials aggravated by international sanctions, so that his calendar was expanding until he went into the second half of the decade. Last summer the state agency KCNA slid that Wonsan Kalma could be ready in May. It will take something else: you will start receiving visitors July 1. And who will visit it? We know that Wonsan Kalma has hotels, aquatic parks, pools with slides, four kilometers of beachrestaurants and commercial areas, but what is not so clear is how North Korea will manage to fill it. Especially since the government itself remembers that it has the capacity for tens of thousands of visitors: their accommodations can host 20,000 people And in his day he slid that the capacity of the complex would be even greater. The KCNA agency only states that Wonsan-Kalma will begin offering services to “National Clients” As of July 1, without mention of plans to promote the complex or capture visitors outside the country. To the inauguration of Wonsan Kalma, yes, a delegation of Russian authorities including the ambassador, one more sample of the approach between Pyongyang and Moscow. Gesture question. It is not easy to know what plans Kim has in tourism, one of the few legal channels available to the nation to capture foreign currencies; But over the last months the North Korean regime has given forward steps (and Also some other behind) to open timidly to foreign tourism, knocked out after pandemic. By mid -2023 the restrictions They relaxedmonths later the country began to receive Russian visitors already early this year He surprised the world when opening its doors to a reduced handful of Western tourists. That did not last long. Weeks later He turned back. In April the capital celebrated a marathon in which allowed Run to foreigners, especially Russians and Ethiopians. Looking at Russia. The CNN Precise that at the moment the Russians seem to be the only ones who will have it more or less easy to step on the new tourist complex. One of his agencies, Vostok Intur, is in fact promoting several packages for the coming months with Pyongyang scale. Your price? Around 1,800 dollars. In 2019 North Korea received some 300,000 visitors foreigners, especially Chinese, who generated a flow of between 90 and 150 million dollars.
