China has been hoarding copper for months. And the rest of the world are dedicating ourselves to look

by

After the Rare earthChina has made copper its new geopolitical weapon. It only produces 4% of world reserves, but already controls 49% of the world refining and is buying raw materials at an industrial scale. Why is it important. More than accumulating raw materials, China is building an intentional bottleneck in the most strategic metal supply chain of the 21st century. Copper is indispensable for AI data centers, electric cars, solar panels and electrical networks. Who controls your refining will control the technological transition worldwide. In figures. The numbers are overwhelming: This mathematics is only possible to buy into mass abroad: import minerals from Chile and Peru, and junk of the United States. Then he processes everything in its low -cost melters. The general panoramic. The Chinese strategy shows sophistication that goes far beyond commercial opportunism. He has created a refining infrastructure distributed throughout the country (Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangxi, Shandong, Jiangsu) that can process any type of copper mineral at prices that no competitor can match. USA is exporting concentrates and scrap metalbut it does not have that refining capacity. Instead, China imports them, processes and turns finished products. Between the lines. He Timing This accumulation is not accidental. It coincides with the escalation of commercial tensions with the United States and the strategic approach to Afghanistan, which has large copper deposits. For China, controlling copper refining is an insurance policy in the face of a possible naval block of its commercial routes with Chile, Peru and Australia. Afghanistan thus becomes its only safe terrestrial source of copper. Yes, but. This strategy has a hidden cost that is already being manifested. Chinese foundations operate with negative margins due to the scarcity of copper ore and excess refining capacity. Some have already closed or suspended operations. The Syomine company has paralyzed its Namibia plantGlencore closed its foundry of the Philippines. China is paying a high economic price to maintain its dominant position. At stake. The commercial war is spreading to copper. Mexico has imposed 50% tariffs on Chinese products After Trump’s pressures, and China has threatened with reprisals. Mexico contributes 5% of Chinese copper mineral imports. If China cuts these imports, Southern Copper and the entire Mexican sector will suffer. But China needs each ton of available mineral. The money trail. Investors They have put 2.3 billion dollars in copper funds this year45% more than in 2024. They recognize the obvious: there is scarcity and China controls the refining tap. Accumulating copper is also a financial commitment in a deficit market. China has played a master letter. He turned his lack of own deposits in industrial domain: controls the refining, the link that adds the most value. But it has an Achilles heel that is to depend on importing minerals from countries that can become enemies. It is the dilemma of power in a fractured world: you need those who can betray you.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on September 13

by

It’s here, it is already. Yes, the Sabatino does not circulate today returns through his fueros. As every Saturday, drivers affected by these restrictions collected in the program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with the aim of improving the air we breathe. The restrictions go, indeed, to reduce the number of cars in the streets. How could it be otherwise, that forces cars at home. Restrictions that, as you know, apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Taking this into account, how can we avoid an irregularly circular pore? Obviously, the most important thing is to know well the restrictions that apply. Restrictions you will find in the superior image. All those days have a particularity. The rules are clear but on Saturdays they change slightly. And it is not always the same drivers who have to leave their cars at home. In short, on a Saturday the following conditions can be applied. Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+ These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines. Once we have clarified all these concepts, what else do we have to take into account? The first thing is that today does not circulate Sabatino does not always apply the same. You have to take into account the calendar because on Saturdays do not always stay at home the same cars. It will be the plate number that defines it. Hologram 2 cars do have the obligation to rest. But, for example, hologram cars 0 and 00 never have to rest. The latter can circulate with total freedom because they are the cars that least contaminate. But what happens to hologram 1? On a Saturday like this, September 13, 2025it will be the cars with hologram 1 and plate finished in even number that remain at home. Because this Saturday is the second Saturday of September and, therefore, it coincides with “par”. Next week, the odd ones will go around and rest. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on September 6

Saturday, September 6 … Everything sounds like it should be a particularly comfortable and rested day. It will not be if your car is under the measures of the program today does not circulate Sabatino. Well, as you know, certain vehicles will have to be protected at home during this day. This initiative, promoted by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema), Search mainly decrease toxic emissions improving the quality of the air we inhale. The operation is simple: certain cars, especially those that produce more pollution, are restricted traffic. Of course, it does not always fall on the same vehicles every Saturday. In the areas where this provision governs, some of them rest in alternate weeks. And where is it applied? Specifically in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Who should be kept home? The daily functioning of the program is simple to understand, as seen in the superior image. But on Saturdays it is modified and not all cars face the same limitations every week. Certain vehicles have freedom of traffic some Saturdays, while on other occasions they run into prohibitions. The categories for this day can be divided into: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another These limitations work exclusively between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m. In night, the prohibition is suspended, enabling traffic without the possibility of sanction. Beyond knowing the fundamental, it is relevant to underline that the implementation of the program is not uniform for all cars. Therefore, it is important to check three elements before leaving home: the calendar of the month, the hologram class that wears the vehicle and the final digit of its plate. As shown, cars with hologram 2 maintain the current limitation every Saturday, while those who carry holograms 0 and 00 have freedom of traffic every week. Those who have hologram 1 face interspersed limitations week after week. He Saturday, September 6, 2025which is located as the first Saturday of the month (odd), those cars with plates ended in odd number are obliged to rest. Next week, second Saturday (PAR), the limitation will touch cars with plates that conclude in even number. However, there are some exceptions that should be considered because those cars will have complete mobility: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport those destined for public safety and/or civil protection Those who violate these provisions will receive sanctions that go from 20 to 30 times the unit of measure and update (UMA), which represents a sanction between 1,924.40 and 2,886.60 pesos.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on August 23

Saturday, August 23: Day to rest. Especially if your vehicle is subject to the restrictions of the program Hoy does not circulate Sabatino. And, as you know, some cars must remain stored at home during this day. This program, promoted by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema), The main objective is reduce pollutant emissions improving the quality of the air we breathe. The mechanics is simple: some vehicles, mainly those that generate the greatest pollution, must limit their circulation, but do not always apply to the same cars every Saturday. In areas where this measure exists, some cars must rest alternately. And where is it applied? Specifically in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Who are obliged to stay at home? The daily dynamics of the program is easy to understand, as can be seen in the explanatory graph, but on Saturdays it changes and not all cars have the same restrictions every week. Some vehicles can circulate without restrictions certain Saturdays, while other weeks face limitations. The categories for this day can be divided into: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another These restrictions govern only among the 05:00 and 22:00 hours. During the night the limitation is eliminated, allowing circulation without a risk of fine. In addition to knowing the essentials, it is important to highlight that the application of the program is not constant for all cars. Therefore, before leaving, it is important to verify three aspects: the calendar of the month, the type of hologram that the vehicle and the last digit of its plate has. For example, vehicles with hologram 2 have active restriction every Saturday, while those who have holograms 0 and 00 can circulate without restrictions every week. Those who have hologram 1 have alternate restrictions week by week. He Saturday, August 23, 2025which corresponds to the fourth Saturday of the month (torque), those cars with plates finished in even number must rest. The following week, corresponding to the fifth Saturday (odd number), the restriction will affect cars with plates that end in odd number. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those for public safety and/or civil protection Those who fail to comply with fines that range between 20 and 30 times the unit of measure and update (UMA), which is equivalent to an economic sanction of between 1,924.40 and 2,886.60 pesos.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on August 2

Saturday. August 2, specifically. Moment to rest … especially if you are a car that is part of the restrictions of today does not circulate Sabatino. Because, indeed, today some cars will have to stay at home. What we are talking about is the program today does not circulate, that designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) that forces to leave some cars at home with the idea of improving the quality of the air we breathe. With him, polluting emissions should go down. The system is simple: some cars, especially the most pollutants, have to stay at home. For them there are restrictions but the same Saturdays do not always stay at home. And, where it applies, some cars have to rest. And where is it applied? Specifically in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Taking all this into account, who should stay at home? Daily, restrictions are simple to understand, you can clarify all the details in the superior image. But not every Saturday, for example, they have to stay home on Saturdays. And some of them can move with total freedom but others have more problems. Which is it? Specifically, those who have total freedom and other weeks cannot move. Because, indeed, there are restrictions that alternate week by week. Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today. Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+ These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines. Clarified all this, should we take something more into account? Yes, as we told you, the Sabatino does not circulate today has the peculiarity that it does not always apply in the same way. Therefore, it does not always affect the cars themselves. First you have to look at the calendar (then we will see why it is important), then the hologram and, finally, the plate number. This is because Saturday is a special day in the program of today does not circulate Sabatino. It does not always affect the same cars in the same way. Those of Hologram 2, for example, cannot circulate any Saturday but those of Hologram 0 and 00 can do it every week. In that case, they have total freedom. And those of Hologram 1? Here is the crumb because a few weeks can move and others do not. In this case, the Saturday, August 2, 2025are obliged to rest those that the registration ends in odd number. This is because we are on the first Saturday of August and, therefore, it is these cars that must stay at home. Next week, the second week (PAR) will affect cars with a plate finished in torque. Of course, do not forget that there are some exceptions that allow some cars to move with total freedom. Are the following: However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

Saturday. Day off. Rest for us, of work, and rest for cars that yes or yes they have to stay at home with today does not circulate sabbatino. As? Yes, because if you still don’t know, there are some cars that have to stay at home, yes or yes, if you don’t want to receive a fine. What we are talking about is of the program today does not circulate, devised by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema) with the aim of improving the air we breathe. To achieve this, the plan is very simple: we have to leave cars at home. At least those that are more polluting. Therefore, there are restrictions that do not allow us to enjoy our car on Saturday. Restrictions, yes, that only apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today But, once we are clear about the most basic, who have to stay at home? Very simple, restrictions as you can see in the image superior are applied every day. But not every day the same cars are affected. That is complicated on Saturdays since it is not always the same cars that are forced to rest. Some of them, in fact, may not move any Saturday but others can only do so one yes and another not in alternate weeks. Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today. Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+ These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines. Once we have all this clear … What should we take into account? First of all, the Sabatino does not circulate today does not always apply to the same cars, as we said. To be clear about everything, you have to look at the calendar first, then the hologram and, finally, the plate number. We say about the calendar because on Saturdays, which occupy us, they are special. Cars with hologram 2 cannot move any Saturday of the current month. On the contrary, Hologram 0 and 00 can move without problems. In that case there is total freedom. So what happens to the hologram 1? These cars rotate depending on the latest issue of their registration plate. In this case, such as Saturday July 26, 2025 We are facing the fourth Saturday of the month of July will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those that cannot move. Taking all this into account, what to take into account when it comes to circulating? The first thing is that today does not circulate Sabatino does not always apply to all cars. It is mandatory to look at the calendar, the hologram and, finally, the plate number. In that order.

Chinese mobiles have batteries 11% higher than those in the rest of the world. The culprit is called sic

by

Chinese smartphones have a clear advantage: their batteries are 11% larger than those in the rest of the world. A consolidated suspicion that is now measured thanks to Counterpoint Research. The average in China reached 5,418 mAh in May 2025, compared to 4,900 mAh in the rest of the world. The difference has expanded to exceed 500 mAh in recent months. Why is it important. China is adopting carbon-silicio batteries (sic), a technology that allows greater energy density without increasing the thickness of the device. The rest of the world maintains more conservative technologies even though Two years ago we warn of this impact. The context. Chinese brands have opted to solve one of user’s biggest headaches: autonomy. With larger screens, more frequently soda and applications that consume more energy, including Local generative AIThey need more capacity. 6,000 mAh or more mobiles already represent 35% of the Chinese market, compared to 9% of a year ago. OnePlus leads with the greatest average capacity thanks to Your Ace series, exclusive to China. There is a revealing pattern: brands such as Honor, Huawei and Vivo launch models with larger batteries specifically for the Chinese domestic market. But their global versions maintain minor capacities. Why does this happen? Because China is its test laboratory: SIC batteries certifications are more agile there. In China you can try that technology before facing the expensive and slow western approval processes. It is cheaper to try at home than to risk out with a new technology. And now what. China will maintain this short -term advantage while Western brands wait for SIC technology to mature. The gap will be reduced when more manufacturers adopt large batteries as a global differentiation factor, and not only in China.

has built a 152 -meter floating warning to the rest of the world

by

China has just signed a new chapter in the global race for renewable energy. This time, it is not an oil platform emerging in front of its coastbut of a floating wind turbine of huge proportions. A structure so massive that its blades exceed the height of most Spanish skyscrapers, designed to resist typhons and float in deep water. More than a technical advance, it is a strategic statement: the country not only wants clean energy, wants to control it from its own shipyards. Uploading the bet. The Asian giant has presented The most powerful offshore wind turbine in the world. The unit, with a capacity of 17 megawatts (MW), has been developed by the state of China Huaneng Group and Dongfang Electric Corporation, and has left the production line in Fuqing, coastal city of the province of Fujian, According to Global Times. Test process. The turbine will be towed soon to the waters of Yangjiang, in the province of Guangdong. From Esdnews They have detailed That the scale of the new wind turbine reaches 262 meters from the rotor diameter, a record that allows it to sweep an area of 53,000 square meters. Its height to the axis rises to 152 meters. According to figures from the Huaneng Group itself collected in the same medium, a single unit can generate up to 68 million kilowatt-Hora (KWH) of clean electricity per year, sufficient energy to supply about 40,000 homes. Not everything is the size. Although yes, since the wind turbine has been designed to withstand extreme maritime conditions, including waves of more than 24 meters high and winds of category 17, with speeds greater than 200 km/h, as They have collected in Chinadialy. In addition, it has an advanced stabilization system and smart sensors that allow maintaining production even when the platform suffers significant inclinations. It is not the first time that China Explore this technology. Last year, the Mingyang company installed Oceanx, a 16.6 MW floating wind turbine with double rotor, designed to resist hurricanes of category 5 and waves up to 30 meters. Located in Guangdong, Oceanx was a pioneer in extreme efficiency. However, the new Huaneng and Dongfang Electric model exceeds it in power, in size and in annual generation, with 68 million kWh, compared to the 54 million Oceanx. More than a giant turbine. This project fits a broader strategy that seeks to reduce the technological dependence from abroad. According to Global Timesall the main components – palas, generators, converters, transformers and even a new high diameter axis bearing – have been designed and manufactured in China. In addition, the turbine allows access to a resource so far used: the wind in deep water. In those areas, where it is not possible to install fixed structures, the only option are floating platforms. According to the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, these areas have between three and four times more wind potential than the less deep coastal regions, According to China Daily. Float to get further. The Chinese advance is part of a global energy transformation. According to the World Wind Energy Council (GWEC)more than 80 % of the planet’s marine wind potential is found in waters of more than 60 meters deep. In this context, the development of large -scale floating platforms and national production places China in a leadership position. With a renewable capacity installed of more than 2,090 GW in May 2025, the Asian country already obtains one in three kilowatts-Hora from clean sources, such as Global Times explained. And keep accelerating. The wind as a flag. The new Chinese floating turbine is not just an engineering feat. It is a declaration of intentions. It represents the convergence between technological ambition, industrial sovereignty and ecological necessity. In a world that still seeks how to mitigate the climatic crisis without sacrificing development, China seems to be saying: the wind blows in our favor, and we know how to take advantage of it.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on July 19

Indeed, you have already lifted the immediate joy of remembering that it is Saturday has accompanied the bittersweet feeling of another memory: that of today does not circulate Sabatino. And, as you know well, on Saturdays there are specific circulatory restrictions for today, that program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with the aim of improving the air we breathe. These restrictions pass, irremediably, for leaving at home those cars that are affected by them. Restrictions, of course, that only apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Once we know the most basic, what restrictions should we take into account? First that these restrictions apply, yes or yes, every day as you can see in the superior image but there are special days. Those special days are every Saturday of the month when some cars do not have to stay at home and others will have to stay in the garage week by week. But, doubts come with those who rotate. Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today. Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+ These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines. Taking all this into account, what to take into account when it comes to circulating? The first thing is that today does not circulate Sabatino does not always apply to all cars. It is mandatory to look at the calendar, the hologram and, finally, the plate number. In that order. The calendar because on Saturdays, as we said, they are special. Some cars, those of Hologram 2, may not move any Saturday of the month. These cars have to stay home every Saturday at the time that restrictions are applied. The opposite happens with those of Hologram 0 and 00. In that case, there is total freedom. And the hologram 1? In that case, for restrictions the calendar must be taken into account. This Saturday, July 19, 2025 We are facing the third Saturday of the month. That means that it is the cars with hologram 1 and plate finished in odd number those that rest. Next week, as is broken, they will be finished in torque. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

After saying goodbye to 9,000 people, an Xbox manager has a suggestion for the rest of its workers: AI as therapy

by

Microsoft has been news again after announcing the Dismissal of 9,000 employees worldwide, a decision that has shaken both the company’s central departments and Xbox and their associated studies. The reason for this restructuring is not economic problems, but a Microsoft strategy to be more agile in the race for the development and implementation of AI. In this context, Matt Turnbull, executive producer of Xbox Game Studios Publishing, published a message in his LinkedIn profile aimed at those who had lost their job. In his statement, Turnbull encouraged his former partners, to use AI to how to cope with the impact emotional and mental dismissal. The message was not well received. Dismissed. Unlike the massive dismissals that occurred decades ago, the layoffs that are currently taking place in large technological ones They are not due to economic problemsbut to business strategies to flatten the structures of the companies to be more agile in the crazy technological career that the AI ​​is starring. That makes thousands of employees lose their job not because they will be replaced by an AI, but as collateral damage to their development. The news of the layoffs has coincided with Microsoft’s promise to invest 80,000 million dollars in AIwhich has generated even more debate on the priorities of the company and the impact of the Employment automation. Those affected, including Xbox Game Studios and other key departments, now face a technological scenario marked by labor cuts. An AI to cry. Amid This restructuringTurnbull published a series of recommendations for supporting their former employees and colleagues from Your LinkedIn profile: “These are really difficult times, and if you are going through a dismissal or even preparing silently for one, you are not alone and you don’t have to do it alone.” The manager was not referring to the fact that Microsoft will offer support to its employees. Invited them to rely on chatgpt to overcome the trauma of dismissal. Matt Turnbull’s original message capture “I have been experimenting with ways to use AI tools to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that entails the loss of employment,” explained the manager in his publication. Turnbull’s recommendation soon generated controversy, since many considered ironic that a high position of Microsoft, a company that is reducing workforce to adapt to the AI ​​era, suggest to the dismissed use precisely those technologies as emotional support. Microsoft more “Severance”. The reactions in social networks to the publication of the Xbox manager did not wait. The controversy intensified on platforms like x and Redditwhere Some users They compared the situation with the labor dystopia of the “Severance” series when the “separations” of the company occur, while others criticized the lack of empathy of the manager for inviting those affected to face the frustration of a dismissal using a chatbot as a therapist. Touch the image to go to the original message The comments on networks indicated that Turnbull’s proposal reflected a disconnection with the emotional reality of those who lose their jobs. “It is not a tool for the one that can replace your voice or your experience lived,” recalled Turnbull himself in his message, although for many, the suggestion of resorting to AI in a moment of vulnerability lacked the empathy that requires the situation and the They qualified as insensitive And little successful. Following the wave of criticism for the lack of empathy, Turnbull finally eliminated his LinkedIn comment. A therapist without empathy. In its publication, the Turnbull invited Microsoft’s newly fired employees to seek emotional support in AI. Although more and more people turn to AI models designed to Offer psychological supportthese technologies They cannot empathize With the nuances of human suffering and its use can have negative consequences. They have Documented cases in which the use of chatbots such as Chatgpt has led people to anguish situations or worsen its emotional state, which calls into question the suitability of these tools As emotional support In critical moments. The AI ​​can help you find a job. Beyond the debate generated, Turnbull shared a series of suggestions to use AI as a personal assistant to find a new job, proposing Prompts Specific that could help with career planning, the update of the curriculum, the writing of messages to contact former partners. Points where AI can be of great help. There is the circumstance that personnel selection processes are increasingly conditioned to the algorithmic selection of profilesso a solution to overcome that barrier is to use more AI for Optimize the curriculum and generate presentation letters.
