Ninguneada by the United States, ESA has just signed a collaboration agreement with an emerging power: India

It seemed that the new space race had two well -defined sides, but the last turns in NASA have left faithful members such as the European Space Agency in the lunge. Now that has turned his gaze to the East. Habemus Pactum. The European Space Agency and its counterpart from India (ISRO) just signed a joint intention statement To collaborate on flights to space. The strategy includes a first phase of cooperation in the low terrestrial orbit, and a second phase on the moon. Both agencies have pledged to work on the interoperability of their respective spacecraft, so that they can be found and attached to the low orbit. The collaboration will be extended to the training of astronauts, land simulations and parabolic flights. From the orbit down to the moon. The agreement also opens the door for Europe to play experiments on Indian Poem platforms, which take advantage of the upper stages of PSLV rockets as orbital platforms. More in the long term, it will be an opportunity for European astronauts to travel to the planned space station of India, the Bharatiya Antariksh Stationwhose completion is scheduled for 2035, with a first module in 2028. They also enter the joint robotic mission bag to the moon. India is in the small list of spatial powers that have successfully alunicized. The Chandrayan-3 mission He wore the Vikram module and Rover Pragyan to the South Lunar Pole. New alliances. The agreement, signed by the CEO of ESA, Josef Aschbacher, in New Delhi, arrives at a critical moment for European projects in space. The White House presented last week A budget proposal that would involve a cut of almost 25% for NASA. This “Tijeretazo” fully impact in programs where ESA has invested significantly: the Orion ship and the Lunar Gateway station. In A statementAschbacher said he seeks a commitment between international cooperation and improve his autonomous abilities. “The complexities and costs of space missions often exceed the capacities of a single nation,” he said. “In this context, associations have allowed us to reach great milestones that would be unimaginable alone.” In March, ESA had already signed an agreement with the Japanese Space Agency Jaxa to explore joint missions to the moon and Mars. The trend is clear: before the drift of the United States towards a more nationalist approach and focused on private commercial systems (Spacex, Blue Origin …) for its lunar and Martian ambitions, ESA is diversifying its alliances. European diplomacy. While the United States prioritizes the speed and reduction of costs through the private sector, leaving aside the traditional international collaboration models, the ESA Diplomacy strip presenting textually as a “reliable partner.” Part of that diplomacy makes a close collaboration with China unlikely, at least while NASA remains its main partner. India, with its growing spatial ambitions and future manned flights, emerges as a key strategic alternative on this new space geopolitical board.

The US has just signed its first crypto law

In the middle of the Tariff storm and the changing Scenario of the commercial war with China, Donald Trump has had time to repeal one of the most important laws of IRS (Internal Revenue Service) About the Defi world. Thus signs its first American law related to the crypto scope, one that completely repeals the extension of tax report obligations to decentralized finance platforms. IRS legislation. In 2023, at the end of his mandate, Biden established The first National Strategy of the United States Towards the Critpo world. Signed a bill that It harden The fiscal declaration requirements by the Defi platforms. All under the position of “dealing with the risks and taking advantage of the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology.” These requirements were designed to regulate statements to entities that “regularly make sales of digital assets.” Among them, wallet suppliers and other non -custodian platforms. Treat them as banks. This was wanted to establish that decentralized financial platforms had the same fiscal declaration requirements as centralized banks or traditional stock market runners. The new rule required that finance platforms report both transactions and user information to the IRS, the federal instance of the United States government in charge of tax collection and compliance with tax laws. Completely repealed. Four years later, Trump signs a resolution that eliminates the norm of the IRS aimed at Defi platforms, revoking the tax regulations imposed by the previous administration. It is officially the first effort in favor of the crypto world materialized by the new government. “The IRS Defi Broker Rule unnecessarily hindered American innovation, violated the privacy of Americans and was destined to overwhelm the IRS, which does not have the infrastructure to handle during the tax season, with an excess of new presentations. By repealing this rule, President Trump and Congress have given the IRS the opportunity to focus on the duties and obligations he already has with US taxpayers instead of creating a new series of bureaucratic obstacles, ”. Mike Carey, member of the Republican Party.” The Trump administration considers the newly repealed norm as a “bureaucratic obstacle.” A little more anonymous, but not quite. The repeal of the IRS rule by Trump does not eliminate the obligation to declare cryptocurrency profits. Eliminates the obligation by the platforms to collect and report transactions directly to the IRS. The Defi Broker rule required that asset wallet suppliers to submit reports to the IRS about operations. Something that will no longer have to do. The entry into force of the new reform has been accompanied by a slight rise from Bitcoin and other crypto, in a positive trend during these last hours. The next step. Uploaded the first step, the Trump administration He now heads towards Stablecoins. During the crypto held at the White House on March 6, the Treasury Secretary, Scot Besent, clarified that turning the dollar into the dominant currency went on to rely on Stablecoins. The Stablecoins They usually have a value of 1: 1, that is, a cryptocurrency equals a dollar. This parity allows them to maintain stable value, avoiding the volatility of other crypts. The Trump administration wants to foster its use to reinforce the dollar … and for pure personal interest of the president. Trump’s crypto. World Liberty Financial, cryptocurrency company supported by Trump and his family, announced on March 25 the creation of USD1a stablecoin linked to the US dollar. It is a project in which an obsession of the President materializes again: to enter personally in the crypto market. Prior to his appointment he launched $ Trumpa memecoin whose tokens distribution was at 10% public provision and 89% in the hands of companies linked to the president.

They actually signed North Korean cybercounts

Finding technological talent has become a career with more expected obstacles. For many companies, expanding their teams is no longer just a matter of publishing an offer: it is to deal with processes that often lengthen and with the possibility of not having chosen the right person. And when, finally, an incorporation closes, The high rotation of the sector threatens to return everything to the starting point. But what many companies probably do not imagine is that, without knowing, they could be hiring North Korean cybercounts. This threat, that began to gain strength in the United Stateshas begun to spread. According to Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG)the environment has become more hostile for these actors in US territory, and are now displacing their attention to Europe. A threat in Europe. GTIG details the case of one of the workers linked to North Korea, whose modus operandi reflects the usual pattern of this type of operations. This individual used at least 12 different identities to run for jobs in Europe and the United States. In addition, it resorted to other identities controlled by himself to provide false references and gain credibility to recruiters. List of countries affected by North Korea’s workers Objective companies. Although the range of companies that hire IT profiles is broad, North Korean actors have focused their efforts on very specific sectors: above all, companies linked to the industrial defense base and government agencies. To achieve this, they took advantage of the rise of remote work and infiltrated false identities carefully prepared to overcome security filters. Income for North Korea. Every time the North Korean regime exhibits a new military advance, the same question returns: Where do you really finance it? Although the data on their economy are scarce and deeply opaque, it is clear that the international sanctions have been trying to stop the war machinery of one of the most isolated and hermetic countries on the planet. There are several investigations that point to at least two revenues for the country led by Kim Jong-un. One of them is the theft of cryptocurrencies: North Korean attackers have perfected their techniques and now hit high -value international objectives. The other is the deployment of false workers, such as the one we are seeing at this time, to carry out data theft and extortion practices. Not only attempts. Real cases. Although there is no exact figure of false workers hired by European companies, the GTIG notes that it has detected a diverse portfolio of projects in the United Kingdom executed by employees linked to North Korea. Among them include web developments, bots, content management systems (CMS), advanced artificial intelligence and applied blockchain technology.

Openai has just signed a contract of 11.9 billion dollars, according to Reuters. It’s a poisoned dart for Microsoft

The idyll between OpenAI with Microsoft It seems to be a thing of the past. Both companies have been preparing their respective future strategies for months, and it seems clear that in both cases the objective is the same: cut that relationship and independent of each other. Openai ends up announcing something key to achieve it. He has thrown new girlfriend, could be said. Who is Coreweave. Coreweave is a startup in which Nvidia has 6% participation. The company has a compound infrastructure (at the end of 2024) by 32 data centers with about 250,000 graphics cards of NVIDIA. Now he added more, including the new GPUS with Blackwell architecture, and thanks to that he can offer training and inference services for AI models. They started with crypts. The company is an example of the conversion, because when it was founded in 2017, Coreweave (then called Atlantic Crypto) was dedicated to Ethereum mining with GPUS. After the value fall in cryptocurrencies in 2018 they ended up changing their name and focus a year later. OpenAI signs an agreement with Coreweave. According to Reuters These two companies have reached an agreement worth 11.9 billion that will last five years. OpenAI will receive $ 350 million from Coreweave shares, and while Coreweave earns a spectacular customer for his future. And above all, in the face of his future public offer of actions. An impulse for your OPA. Coreweave is about to go overand intends to lift at least 4,000 million dollars. In 2024 they had revenues of 1.9 billion dollars, almost eight times more than in 2023, when 228.9 million dollars entered. Which is also double. The problem that Coreweave had is that they depended almost on a single client, Microsoft, which was responsible for 62% of that income. It also has as clients Cohere, goal and mystral, but with less prominence. Openai alliance is especially important to encourage investors to trust their future and in success of that IPO. Microsoft and OpenAi go to yours. In the announcement of the Stargate project it was clear that Microsoft would cease to be the only opening infrastructure provider of OpenAI. Meanwhile, Microsoft works In its own reasoning models to compete with those of OpenAI or Deepseek R1, for example, that effort is added to the development of the models Like Phi 4. A Plan B for Azure or AWS. OpenAI seems determined to avoid as much as possible to large cloud infrastructure suppliers such as Microsoft with Azure or Amazon with AWS. His alliance with Coreweaver is especially significant, especially since it implies another evidence that the alliance with Microsoft seems definitely condemned.

The director of ‘Rogue One’ signed one of the best science fiction films in recent years, and now comes to Prime Video

After spending less than a year for Disney+, ‘The Creator‘, the magnificent futuristic dystopia of Gareth Edwards, Reach Prime Video. The Amazon platform can provide a tremendous impulse to this film that, Despite the praise received with its premiere in 2023he punctured at the box office. This relegated to a secondary role both in the awards season, where its excellent technical invoice should have been recognized, as in the public reception. Edwards has a very peculiar vision of the genre, a very unique eye for drama and intimate, which has been reflected in his films even for successful franchises: ‘Godzilla’ and ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’, two productions found A similar balance between the show and the small -scale emotion. In that sense, where ‘The Creator’ finds more similar is in the director’s first movie, the excellent ‘monsters’. In ‘The Creator’, Edwards enters an iconic science fiction issue, artificial intelligences, classic since Asimov wrote their robots stories, but with a fiercely modern perspective: in a war between the human species and artificial intelligences, an exagent of the special forces is recruited to locate and execute the creator, a mysterious architect of the AI ​​that has developed a devastating weapon end to war and mean the victory of the machines. He must prevent it. The film is raised as an empathetic approach to the other, to the IAS that in this case are far from being like Skynet, no matter how much they face humans with virulent violence. The great mystery of ‘The Creator’ is precisely what are the last intentions of that creator, and everything is raised in a devastating war environment, with special effects that, despite its modesty (or precisely thanks to it) They work much better than that of so many Blockbusters. An essential event for lovers of the genre. Header | Disney In Xataka | ‘The Creator’ is the science fiction film of the year.

There are 60 countries that have signed an agreement for an “open”, “inclusive” and “safe.” And two that not: USA and United Kingdom

The event Artificial Intelligence Action Summitthe European Summit on the AI ​​that is being held these days in Paris, is leaving many headlines. We have already told how Europe has announced an investment of 150,000 million euros In AI for the next five years, but now we find another important event. And worrying. For an ethical and open. During this congress, participating countries have been urged to sign an international agreement on artificial intelligence. As indicated In the BBCthe statement advocates an “open”, “inclusive” and “ethical” approach to the development of artificial technology. The US and the United Kingdom want to go on their own in AI. Although 61 countries have signed this statement – among them France, India, Japan, Canada and even China – neither US nor the United Kingdom wanted to sign it. Their reasons have been different, but they point to the same thing: they prefer to go on their own. What has the United Kingdom said. The United Reius government has revealed that “it has not been able to agree with all the parties of the declaration”, and that “it would only sign initiatives that agree with the national interests of the United Kingdom.” Even so, spokesmen of the United Kingdom have indicated that France “remains one of our closest partners in all areas of AI.” And what has said USA. Meanwhile, US vice president JD Vance (in the image), indicated that regulating AI “could kill a transformative industry just when he is taking off.” For him this segment is one that the Trump administration “will not miss”, and said that “the growth of the growth of AI” should be prioritized “above security. Europe is “strangling” the AI. The American president was hard with the European Union, indicating that regulation should strengthen and boost the development of AI, “instead of strangling it.” His advice is that Europe contemplates “this new border with optimism, instead of restlessness.” Macron advocates regulation. Meanwhile, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, defended the need to expand regulation. “We need these rules for AI advance to,” he explained. “It is not a matter of resistance, it is not a matter of preventing innovation, it is a matter of allowing (innovation) to occur internationally while avoiding fragmentation.” But fragmentation seems inevitable. The agreement seemed a good statement of principles to try to seek consensus when avoiding major evils caused by AI, but the differences in regulation are evident since it began to talk about the subject. The United States has always had an approach that prioritized safety growth and development, something similar to what China has done (but with Open Source models). Meanwhile, in Europe the regulation has been central issue although despite this there have been important advances by private companies such as Mistral in France or Freepik in Spain.
