OpenAI will show ads on ChatGPT because it has no choice: the free AI business is unsustainable

OpenAI has started laying the groundwork to introduce advertising on ChatGPT. The code for the latest beta version of your Android app includes explicit references to search adsadvertising carousels and commercial content. It is something that can be seen coming from afar and has been rumored, but there is a trace of OpenAI itself. Why is it important. The company cannot sustain free access to a technology that is very expensive to operate indefinitely. Google and Meta can afford something like this because they finance their chatbots with huge prior advertising deals, but OpenAI continues to accumulate debt and burning cash without a clear profitable model. A $200/month Pro plan user has already reported seeing a Peloton ad during a conversation. The publicity seems inevitable, perhaps even for those who pay… in the absence of knowing if that was a mistake or part of the next new normal. In Xataka Privacy is dying since ChatGPT arrived. Now our obsession is for AI to know us as best as possible Between the lines. Sam Altman has gone from calling ads “the last resort” in 2024 to praising Instagram’s advertising model months later. Leaked internal forecasts anticipated $1 billion in “free user monetization” by 2026. The company has been hiring specialized personnel in advertising platformsattribution systems and campaign tools. The discourse has changed: it now talks about finding a format that “benefits the user.” Yes, but. Reuters informs that OpenAI has declared internal “code red” to improve ChatGPT (just the opposite of what happened when ChatGPT arrived) and is postponing initiatives such as advertising. The priority now is to respond to the launch of Gemini 3do not monetize free users. {“videoId”:”x9rqykw”,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”Apps in ChatGPT”, “tag”:”technology”, “duration”:”69″} The hidden advantage. Conversational AIs know their users better than anyone cookie or web tracking pixel. We tell them our concerns, intimacies and interests without filters. We navigate obsessed with not being tracked, but We give ChatGPT a perfect advertising profile. Google knows what you are looking for. ChatGPT knows what you think. The difference determines the value of the ad. At stake. OpenAI handles 800 million weekly users processing 2.5 billion daily queries. That beastly audience turns any advertising model into potential billions of annual revenue. The current free plan isn’t going away, but it will likely include ads. Payment plans could become more expensive when the restructuring comes. The company needs revenue that doesn’t rely solely on subscriptions to close its huge operating deficit. In Xataka |ChatGPT has been a tool. If you start remembering all our conversations, it’s going to be something else: a relationship.

Renfe has its AVRIL trains ready to put them back on the tracks. You just have to show that they don’t split

It seems that the soap opera of Renfe’s AVRIL trains is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The company has already received the completely repaired trains from Talgo, according to The Economistwho claim that the company has confirmed this point to them. The first question is what will be the new destination of these trains. The second is whether they will pass the litmus test: proving that they do not split. Back. Renfe already has the S106 trains affected by the cracks suffered in the Madrid-Barcelona corridor while providing AVLO service. That is what the company itself has confirmed to us, which, when asked by Xataka has confirmed that the replacement of the bogies has now “been successfully completed”. The trains have returned three months after being sent for repairs to the railway company’s facilities. They have done so after having completely replaced the affected bogies. Instead of being repaired, they have been completely changed to avoid greater evils. What happened? At the end of July, Renfe began to receive signals that something was wrong with its AVRIL trains that provided the AVLO service (Renfe’s low cost line) on the Madrid-Barcelona route. Those signs were, directly, cracks in trains. Although first there was talk of one train, we finally know that there were five that ended up affected by cracks of different magnitudes. After a tug of war between The Economist (which advanced the news) and the company itselfRenfe ended up suspending the sale of AVLO tickets on the Madrid-Barcelona route and ended up redistributing the AVE service to customers. Now the company recovers those affected trains but it does not seem that Madrid-Barcelona will be their destination. Whose fault is it? It is one of the great unknowns. Renfe has pointed out Talgo as the culprit of the cracks, reminding him that the trains are under warranty and that, therefore, they were not going to pay for the repairs. Talgo, for its part, blames Adifensuring that the maintenance of the line is insufficient and that this has caused excessive vibrations that have led to the famous cracks. Everything indicates that the problem is in the section between Madrid and Calatayud. In fact, the company even considered that it would continue operating with its AVLO service in the corridor but at a reduced speed which, it is assumed, did not generate the vibrations and therefore should not have an impact on structural damage to the train. Ultimately, this option was discarded. Fire test. The return of the affected AVRIL trains is a litmus test for Renfe… but above all for Talgo. And it is that Renfe has already been looking for trains in Germany to look for an alternative to the S106, known as AVRIL, which only Talgo manufactures. Giving a good image with a unique train in the world is essential to a company that is in financial trouble. The S106 trains were to be a leap forward for the company. They are the only ones who, given the railway peculiarities of Spainthey can “jump” from Iberian gauge to international gauge. For Renfe they are key because this allows them to position themselves ahead of Ouigo and Iryo facing a future opening to competition in the Galician corridor. However, the S106 have arrived late and They have garnered numerous bad reviews. And where are they going? It is another of the doubts that remain to be cleared up. According to Alberto Puivecinoresponsible for infrastructure and mobility at CCOO in Catalonia, it is possible that these trains will be used for AVANT (medium distance high speed) services in the region. A line that joins Lleida, Tarragona, Barcelona, ​​Girona and Figueres. The information was made public after a meeting between CCOO and the Generalitat of Catalonia. In Xataka We have asked Renfe in this regard but they assure that “the service that the currently immobilized units 106 will provide has not yet been determined. In any case, wherever they are finally going to operate they will do so with full safety guarantees.” For now, the fate of these units remains to be revealed. What we do know is that it is a litmus test for Talgo that must demonstrate that its S106 trains are once again reliable and, above all, are safe enough.

Spain wants to show that it can live without nuclear weapons. The problem is that he is still testing how

Spain is experiencing a decisive moment in its energy policy. While the Government defends an orderly closure of nuclear power plants and relies on an experimental digital system to stabilize the grid, large electricity companies warn that the transition It is being faster than safe. At the epicenter of this tension is Almaraz, the Extremaduran power plant that refuses to turn off its reactors and that has once again divided technicians, politicians and neighbors. The nuclear dilemma. The closure of the Almaraz nuclear power plant in Cáceres is officially set for 2027 and 2028, but the debate over its future has returned with force. Iberdrola, Endesa and Naturgy agreed to present to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition a formal request to extend their activity until 2030. They will do so, they say, out of “responsibility with the supply” after the voltage failures recorded in recent weeks that “they reactivated the risk of blackout”. Companies have, for the moment, given up asking for tax reductions. Their message is different: Spain, they argue, is not prepared to disconnect from the atom. “Nuclear is the system’s anti-blackout shield,” says the CEO of Iberdrola Spain. However, the Government does not move. The Minister for the Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, has reiterated the commitment to the closure calendar agreed in 2019, which foresees the nuclear blackout between 2027 and 2035. Only if three conditions are not met: security, guarantee of supply and zero cost for the taxpayer, will the Executive would reconsider his position. A model in testing. The core of the controversy is not only political, but technical. The Executive’s plan involves replacing the stability offered by nuclear and thermal plants with a digital voltage and frequency control system based on renewables. In theory, wind and solar farms will be able to simulate electrical inertia —the ability to resist sudden changes in frequency— through advanced electronics. In practice, the model is still in the testing phase. According to Energy NewsRed Eléctrica (REE) is developing new control tools to integrate non-synchronous generation, but still without complete validation. Additionally, new digital control algorithms have not been tested on a national scaleand its reliability at high power has not yet been demonstrated. Sources from the Ministry of Ecological Transition cited by El Periódico They admit that full stability of the system “will only be possible when all renewable plants are digitally synchronized with the operator”, a process that – they acknowledge – “will still take time.” The network under surveillance. Aware of these risks, the CNMC approved an emergency modification of the operating procedures (OP 3.1, 3.2, 7.2 and 7.4) to reinforce the stability of the system. In practice, they are standards that determine how Red Eléctrica must react to variations in voltage and frequency, and allow it to act with more flexibility in times of risk. However, not everything went as planned. As energy expert Joaquín Coronado explains on his networksthe CNMC stopped the complete approval of OP 7.4 when it detected that the new model required responses that were impossible for many conventional plants to comply with. Several generators alleged that too rapid a reaction could damage the machines or generate additional oscillations, something the CNMC acknowledged in its resolution. The regulator asked Red Eléctrica to “intensify coordination and temporarily make the requirements more flexible”, making it clear that the problem was not one of inertia, but rather speed of response. A pulse of time. The electricity companies’ proposal to extend the first Almaraz reactor until 2030 and the second until 2029, would give three additional years to the current calendar. However, the Nuclear Safety Council requires that documentation be submitted before November 1 to begin the decommissioning process. In parallel, the Government of Extremadura has announced that it will reduce the regional “ecotax” by half if the plant remains operational, a gesture that the central Executive views with suspicion. “Taxpayers cannot pay more to maintain a plant that had to close,” recalled the Government delegate in Extremadura, José Luis Quintana, in statements to Canal Extremadura. Mobilization in the streets. While the technical and political debate becomes entangled, the residents of Almaraz took to the streets. Last Marchhundreds of people marched under the slogan “Yes to Almaraz, yes to the future,” in a protest supported by mayors of nearby municipalities and nuclear sector associations. In their arguments they defend their position in favor of nuclear power for fear of job loss, a population exodus and the fall of the local economy. But not everyone shares that enthusiasm. Ecologists in Action criticized the presence of local authorities at the protest and asked to accelerate a “just transition” that generates employment alternatives. “You cannot continue tying the future of a region to an industry that promotes environmental and health risks,” the organization said in a statement. Europe looks at Spain. While France and Belgium extend the life of their reactors until 2060, Spain remains firm in its nuclear closure. The Enresa fund to dismantle the plants drags a deficit of 11.6 billion euros. The electricity companies cite this as proof that closing early makes the system more expensive; The Government replies that extending it would jeopardize the ecological transition. The peninsula remains an “energy island” with only 3% interconnection with France, which amplifies any failure. And more and more experts repeat the same thing: the problem is not the speed of the transition, but that the network and the rules They are not getting stronger at the same rate.. A still uncertain future. Almaraz has become much more than a power plant: it is a symbol of the tension between climate urgency and energy security. The Executive insists that Spain will be able to sustain its network with renewable technology and digital control; Technicians and electrical companies ask for caution. Meanwhile, Red Eléctrica engineers fine-tune algorithms, the CNMC approves regulatory patches and the residents of Almaraz prepare for a future that, for now, continues to depend on its two reactors.

has made it a tourist show

On September 28, China sumo a new one megaconstruction to his increasingly unbarkable list. After less than four years of work, THE BRIDGE OF THE GRAND CANYON OF HUAJIANG It became the highest bridge in the world. It is a weight argument for the project to capture worldwide, but beyond its engineering records, the bridge has become an example for other reasons: His tourist ambition. It has a fantasy waterfall and a restaurant at the top of one of its columns. Another megaestructure in Guizhou. The works began in January 2022. Far from being a whim, a bridge of these characteristics in A region like Guizhou It is essential if you want to meet the objective of the country to interconnect all corners as much as possible. Approximately 90% of Guizhou are mountains and throatswhich makes a trip that could take minutes. That is why the area is known as the “Bridge Museum” due to both their number and their complexity. In the case of the Huajiang Grand Canyon bridge, we are talking about a construction with a length of 2,890 meters, a main section of 1,420 meters (among the towers) that is 625 meters above the Beipan River. The towers rise to 776 meters and the set is what dethroned the Junge bridge over the Beipan River itself as the highest in the world. Balance between investment and return. Just before their inauguration, the authorities tested their resistance by causing almost 100 trucks will travel at the same time through the vain For five days. A total of 3,000 tons that the huge cables, the 439,000 m³ of concrete and 49,000 tons of steel passed without problem. It is estimated that the bridge has cost about 280 million dollars and allows you to spend in a couple of minutes on the other side of the mountain, something for which you had to invest more than an hour. The doubt was to what extent China would recover the investment with this megaconstruction that does not stop joining rural areas. Yes, the country wants to create a series of arteries to foster trade And tourism, but recovering the money was something that was in the air. But, precisely, the key may be in tourism not from one side of the bridge to another: but turning the structure into the protagonist. Interstellar coffee. Almost literally. Located in one of the towers, already 775 meters high, we have the ‘Interestle Coffee‘. It is a restaurant to take something while enjoying a privileged view. The trip to coffee itself must be impressive thanks to a elevator panoramic that amounts to 207 meters at a speed of four meters per second to arrive in less than a minute. Only for its location, you already have the interest of being one of the restaurants at more height in the world. From Turisteo to the bridge. But not only have the bridge built with that technical stop for coffee in mind: they wanted to turn it into a tourist destination for their own merits. To start, it has a waterfall that can ‘shoot’ water to the river forming different patterns, but it is also a destination for those who want to hiking 625 meters with a glass floor or for those who want to practice something more extreme. In this video of ‘El Paseo de Kai’ we can see different activities On Bridge: 2×1. It is a way to take advantage of this exceptional height for more than to connect two points and the truth is that it is nothing new. Bridges like Balinghe or that of Pingtang They already exceeded that traditional concept of “bridge as a mere passage facilitator” to become tourist destinations. It is something we have also seen in constructions such as the three throats that not only can Move the Earth’s rotation axisbut it has a museum that documes the construction, an example of operation of the dam itself and Multiple observation points. Therefore, the new highest bridge in the world is not only an achievement in civil engineering, but an innovation in that integrated tourism development that can be the one that helps recover what is invested in infrastructure.

We believed that the J-20 was Beijing’s great furtive jewel. The new images of the J-50 show that there was something else in development

“We will strive to achieve the fundamental modernization of national defense and the Armed Forces by 2035, and to make the popular army a World Class Force in all aspects for the middle of this century. ”With these words, Xi Jinping drew in 2017 A military horizon that then sounded ambitious. It could have been in rhetoric, in a gesture designed to dazzle. But in this China the plans are rarely artifice fires: they become state projects, with short and medium term goals conceded into strategies that look forward to decades. And the truth is that a good part of those goals have already begun to materialize. China is not characterized by hurry, although it advances with a speed that surprises. In 2003 he put his first Taikonauta in orbit when the United States and Russia (with the Soviet inheritance in between) accumulated half a century of experience in the space race. Two decades later, Beijing has raised its own orbital infrastructure and a program that does not give brake signals. The same happens on the mainland. In the early 2000s there were no high -speed trains in the country. Today it manages the most extensive network on the planetan example of accelerated transformation. And in defense, which is the focus of this analysis, the jump is equally forceful: Shipyards capable of throwing large -scale ships, aircraft carriers with electromagnetic catapults and last generation combat fighters. J-50, from rumor to the images As Twz collectsthe most clear images have appeared so far from a heavy poacher attributed to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. In the public conversation it is identified as J-XDs and, unofficially, such as J-50. The material is not verified, but fits with less clear previous shots and does not show obvious indications of manipulation. We see a design without a tail that analysts framed in the next combat generation. J-50 The plane dispenses with tail surfaces, presents tilting pales that appear deflecting down and mounts 2D nozzles with vector thrust and folded bordering. The nose is long, of diamond geometry. Air shots are trapezoidal and adopt a DSI scheme. Under the nose a fairing appears for the electro-optical system and the cabin is a car. Today we do not know if the photographed is a technological demonstrator or a configuration closer to production. There are also no confirmed data on definitive sensor packagepropulsion or calendar. As a context, in parallel there have been advances of the J-20s Biplaza and the J-35 Naval. The focus, in any case, is in this design without a tail that suggests a parallel development to that of J-20. J-20s The photographs provide form, but leave unanswered key issues. It is unknown which propeller equips the plane, what will be its sensor configuration, what communications or electronic warfare systems and what arsenal is planned for him. In any case, EJ-50 becomes the clearest sample that Beijing is willing to experiment with radical concepts in military aviation. A design without a tail, with mobile wounds and vector nozzles, involves entering a land that few have dared to explore. The unknown is how much of what we see corresponds to an isolated prototype and how much is part of a long -distance program. What seems out of doubt is that China wants to position yourself at the forefront of the next generation of poachers.

The 1,000 kW chargers of Byd will be a reality in Europe in 2026. Their challenge is to show us their true utility

It is expected for the second quarter of 2026 with “200-300 stations”, in Byd words. The Chinese company has taken advantage of the Münich IAA Mobility to confirm that next year its expansion of 1 MW chargers (or 1,000 kW) in Europe will begin. Is there any reason for it? 400 kilometers in five minutes. It is the great promise of byd: get a recharge for an electric car to be so or faster than filling the deposit of a combustion vehicle. Those who use their 1 MW chargers and those who do so in Europe from the second quarter of 2026 can be done in China. Because Stella Li, vice president of the company, has taken advantage of her presentation in the last Münich Motor Show To confirm that next year the deployment of what they call will begin Flash charge with a first landing between 200 and 300 recharge points. Denza. This initiative will be focused on the arrival of Devza, one of Byd’s luxury firms. The company already presented us a few months ago Denza z9gtthe first car with which they will arrive in Europe (in our case we tested the plug -in hybrid). A commitment to maximum luxury without giving up sportsmanship. In their presentation, in Byd they did not get wet with the volume they expect to attract nor confirmed the price that could easily exceed the border of the 100,000 euros. In that price range, a new and China company has it really complicated, so the denza launch is understood within a strategy in which it is committed to demonstrating the latest innovations of the brand. Flexibility. Right now, in Europe there is no car capable of loading the famous power of 1,000 kW. And, in fact, Byd herself has barely two models in China that are capable of admitting those 400 kilometers of autonomy in five minutes. The proposal we see there is based on the use of two 500 kW plugs, allowing the loads to be more flexible. With 1,000 kW you can load an advanced electric car but also an electric truck or two cars that, again, have the last market technology. Dead? The big doubt is whether these chargers are born or not dead. In Europe there is no car that can assume these load powers. However, the latest releases of the Mercedes GLC and the BMW IX3 They have shown that manufacturers and public are especially interested in shortening waiting times. The Mercedes can recharge its batteries at 330 kW and the BMW will leave to 400 kW. He Mercedes Cla He also appeared with the incentive of being able to recharge to 320 kW. The most advanced cars are starting to leave behind the border of the 300 kW … but for now there are not many plugs that offer this possibility. In Spain, companies such as Zunder or Repsol already offer 400 kW load points. And Ionity has announced that it begins to display 600 kW loaders. They are powers that, as we see, almost no car can use but its goal is to take advantage in what is to come. Reference. Putting chargers of 1 MW of power that, in addition, become two 500 kW plugs, byd intends to position themselves as a reference firm. At the moment, it is an investment that should not generate a great economic revenue, because they will be oversized for European cars, but it does position the company among the best. In addition, having the cars that can recharge to this power exclusively will serve to make visible the brand. Probably, he will not turn his models into supervants (within the segment, of course) but will add to make himself known among the less interested public in the car market. One more challenge. With everything and although we think of the ultra -grape loaders of ByD as in a long -term investment, the company has the need to attract the public. And that will be achieved only in two ways. The first thing is becoming visible in applications of the mobile phones of the users of the electric car and, second, in the Google browsers for the cars that work with them or that of the rival companies. And, for this, you will have to have a price according to the market. With a completely oversized load power, Byd cannot press above since the client whose cars are left in 300 kW or less will be underutilizing the station. There are more and more chargers of this type that fit more to the real performance of the car and break the market above will not help its deployment. On the contrary, proposing a payment system similar to that of Tesla or opening the hand with their own customers, knowing that the denza cars will not be large supervants, will allow the company to create brand image and generate interest on it.

200 people paid to see a drone show in Valencia. The problem is that the event did not exist

Shopping Tickets Online for an event that you have seen promoted on social networks and, when you arrive at the place and time where it should be held, there is nothing. This is what dozens of people have lived in Valencia, but it is happening in several areas such as the Booking accommodation or Airbnb. What happened. According to the complaint of an individual who collects the EFE agencyabout 200 people were on August 15 to the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia to go to a drone show event. They had paid 17 euros for each ticket, a price with reasonable appearance. The problem? Although the complainant victim received confirmation notices of purchase of two tickets by SMS, when there was no festival or event of drones. Everything was the result of an online scam, the police told the attendees. And the worst part is that there has also been ticket sales for days 21, 22, 23, 29, 30 and 31. The medium. According to the complaint, the false event was promoted on Instagram, which boosted its reach despite the fact that the festival did not appear in any public calendar of place activities. For the scam, According to Drone Show Festivalwhich are event organizers (but free) with drones, used images and videos of their shows Attendees thought it was something real seeing that there are companies like FLOCK DRONE ART They are dedicated to this. The notice was not enough. Both Drone Show Festival and the official account of the City of Arts and Sciences sent messages in their Official channels warning that they were not organizing any drones festival in the complex. They did it on June 14 in the morning and in the afternoon, day and a half before the false event was celebrated. However, that did not prevent dozens of people from being gathered in full heat wave. Click the image to access the publication. More false events. The scam with drones is not thought only for Valencia. The promotional publication also announced events in Seville, Barcelona Madrid or Bilbao. From the Union of Consumer of Valencia, they affirm that They will denounce the facts before the National Court This week, as well as the General Directorate of Consumption of the Generalitat. They have called for affected people, and have offered to process the relevant claims for free. Online scams are triggered. According to the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), in 2024 More than 97,000 cyber attacks were recorded16% more than in 2023. The problem is that that year there were already Growing up 24% compared to 2022. According to the institution, in 2023, three out of ten incidents were online fraud. In 2024, they already supposed more than four out of ten. Of the 38,000 fraudulent indications, the Phishing It remains the most problematic technique, with 21,517 cases, and among the trends of public consultations by telephone or WhatsApp, the Vishingthat technique with which the attackers make calls supplanting various entities such as companies of light or telephone operators. Of the 38,000 fraudulent incidents, the itals for Protect ourselves from scamshow to avoid buying on websites that we do not know, for cases like this of the drones, where everything seemed correct a priori, the recommendation is to review additional details to those offered by the seller. Concert enclosures, theaters or events such as the City of Arts usually have a public calendar where all acts officially organized. Taking a look at the program is a quick step that can avoid a great posterior headache. If we have already been victims of a scam, It is recommended denounce the National Police, Civil Guard or contact the INCIBE itself.

A student from Girona set up his Cybercrime Office at home. His mistake was to show off his robberies on the Internet

A joint operation of Mossos d’Esquadra and National Police He has arrested a hacker in Roses (Girona) Responsible for several cyber attacks operating from a sophisticated technological network … in their own home. Why is it important. The detainee had managed to configure a technological network complex using anonymous applications that allowed him to hide his trail while attacked financial institutions, private companies and public bodies. The researchers discovered that the hacker, a young computer student with very advanced knowledge, stole personal databases of employees and clients, as well as confidential internal documents. Then he sold this information in forums of the Dark Web or published it without asking for anything in return. What has happened. The investigation started in May 2024, when the agents detected in a forum that someone presumed to have data from Spanish banks, a self -school and a public university. The same subject later claimed to have filtered the database of a Barcelona plumbing company. After an arduous discouragement of desanimization, the researchers located Roses’s address from where the attacks were launched. The subsequent investigations identified the inhabitants of the house, including the young computer student. In detail. During the record they seized: A laptop. A dozen mobile phones. Several hard drives. More than thirty SIM cards. Several bank cards in the name of different people. The detainee made available to the Court of Guard of Figueres for a crime of discovery and revelation of secrets. And now what. The investigation remains active to locate new victims and clarify all the scams that this person may have committed using stolen data to the affected entities.

a show similar to wrestling

The evening 5 It was finally celebrated This last Saturday, and as expected, he was not exempt from controversy: of all the fighting, no doubt one of those who generated more expectation for the characteristics of the combatants was that of Abby against Roro. More than a confrontation, almost a declaration of intentions of the event and the response to many doubts about what the evening has in common and what not with traditional sport. The fight. The two boxers appeared to combat after notable sacrifices: Roro in a spectacular physical form and Abby forced to get off the 57 kilos to compete. The stature difference forced Roro to go back to Abby to corner her, while he made a first and third higher assaults, connecting more blows to his rival. In addition, Roro fractured the leg with which he had already had problems during his training. Finally, The jury failed in favor of Abbywhat generated boos for the winner, who had already been booed at her entrance to the ring. Because here not everything is related to sport. Sport theft. The real battle had begun long before they both climbed into the ring. From the first instant, the public made clear his preference for Roro, plasma some live some previous surveys of the organization that gave 78% support to this. Abby’s boos were constant, even at the time she was declared winner. The perception of “theft”, one of the many inherited attitudes of traditional sport and serves the fans of a team to justify their defeat, in a perfectly normalized vocabulary between the press and specialized journalists. Inevitable politicization. They end in this way of configuring the papers that the two boxers have played since the combat was announced and that transcend the merely sports: Abby had criticized Roro In different interventions to foster the conservative role to please a man and call it “anti -inferable”while his rival has become the last year in Spanish symbol of the “Tradwife” movementa vision of the traditional woman subordinated to her husband. Each one has found their audience niche in the opposite extremes of the ideological spectrum, and the evening offered them the opportunity to settle their symbolic differences in a format with great media attention. A round business. At this point, it is clear that the evening business model goes far beyond the mere sports confrontation: it is not a sporting event that is monetized, but an entertainment product that uses sport as a narrative vehicle. With 80,000 carduja attendees (5 million euros of benefitonly on that side) and a large number of first -line sponsors and with very clear intentions (Revolut, Fintech aimed at young people; Spotify, which dominates digital musical consumption; Grefusa, who wants to rejuvenate his image), to which he adds An extra million euros Arriving from Twitch. Sport as narrative. With those figures, it is very clear that the evening’s proposal has to go far beyond a mere boxing combat: to begin with, unlike other sports, the result matters less than the process. Boxers are rewarded with about 100,000 euros For combat, much more than an amateur boxer charges: they are being paid for their value as entertainment, and because each of them contributes their own narratives and their own conflicts, as it has happened with Abby and Roro and a confrontation that came from before. And it will continue to be like that: exposing yourself in the evening provides content for months, stories to tell, narratives to exploit (Abby has already published a video that recorded a month before combat, In a especially low mood). The combat lasts three assaults, but the media value extends throughout the following year. What comes from sport. Although it might seem that all these dynamics are pleased with professional sport, nothing farther from reality. Above all we have the very clear influence of American wrestling, also More Varietés show than technique exhibition. But on the other hand, there is having found a reef in sports controversies, something that specialized media knows perfectly that it sells more than the numerical result of the Derbies. Training matter. Ibai knows very well the springs that move passions in football and has transferred it to the evening: customize athletes and turn them into fallible heroes with a narrative that also polarizes the public. All this is present in traditional football, and that is why training in the narrative of the evening acquires so much importance: months and months of physical evolution followed by heartwith innumerable previous meetings between The rivals that they primed a story not scripted, but almost. The technique is the least. In the digital age, personalities sell more than skills, and the evening has understood it perfectly. The public prefers to see someone known doing something they do not know how to do, as with most of the Streamers They participate, before a stranger being excellent in his specialty. Success and international copies which is generating Ibai’s invention are the perfect proof that the evening is much more than a few boxing fights between fans.

They show how the magnetic field is invested

NASA has gotten into the wolf’s mouth, the place where solar storms originate. The solar probe team Parker has just published The images closest to the sun They have ever taken. It is the first time that humanity sees with this level of detail the ejections of coronal mass and the field where its magnetic polarity changes from north to south. The Sun in the first -term term. When he took the images at the end of 2024, NASA’s Parker solar probe It was just 6.1 million kilometers of the visible surface of the sun: the photograph. That day, the probe not only became the fastest artificial object in history, with a speed of 692,000 km/h. He also used his WISPR camera to capture in detail the crown of the sun and the birth of the solar wind, the constant flow of loaded particles that bathes the entire solar system. The cradle of the space climate. The most revolutionary of these images is that they allow to visualize the weltic current sheet, a gigantic and undulating “sewing” of the solar system that extends from the sun, marking the limit where the polarity of the magnetic field is invested. Seeing it so closely is an invaluable document to understand how the solar wind spreads. In addition, the probe has managed to observe the collision and fusion of multiple coronal mass ejections in high resolution. “We are seeing the CMEs stacking on each other,” explains Angelos Vourlidas, scientist of the Wispr instrument. Understanding how they merge is key, since these mergers can Create geomagnetic storms Much more powerful and dangerous. The mystery of switchbacks. The Parker mission is not just beating proximity and speed records. Its main objective is to solve enigmas that solar physicists have been trying to decipher. One of the biggest discoveries of the probe has been the abundance of the so -called ‘switchbacks’ or Magnetic investmentsfolds in the magnetic field that invest their direction at brief intervals, as if Zigzag. Thanks to the approaches to the Parker solar probe, we now know that these structures originate on the visible surface of the sun and are one of the fast solar wind engines. Also that there are two types of slow solar wind. One seems to be born from large magnetic loops, while the other would come from coronal holes. Touch the sun without melting. Approaching the sun so much poses an obvious question: how is it possible that the probe does not melt? The key is in the difference between temperature and heat. The solar crown has a temperature of millions of degrees, but it is a vacuum with a very low density. There are few particles, so, although they move very fast (high temperature), they do not transfer much energy (low heat). How to put your hand in a hot oven. Even so, the ship needs protection. There your thermal shield of 2.4 meters in diameter comes into play carbon compound. The shield is capable of supporting temperatures of up to 1,400 ° C on its outer face, while the body of the ship remains comfortable 30 ° C. Other exposed instruments are made of exotic materials such as molybdenum and tungsten, metal with the highest known fusion point: 3,422 ° C.
