A technology entrepreneur sold his company for 1,600 million and only stayed with 100

by

The History of Brian O’Kelley It stands out among business and technology holders for a very rare decision in a context of Technological Millionaires. Like many others before him, O’Kelley gave a millionaire ball selling his company Appnexus in 2018 for 1.6 billion dollars. The most surprising thing is that, instead of withdraw with full pocketshe chose to be alone a small part of fortune and donate the rest to beneficial causes. Such and as they counted in Fortunehis position has given what to talk about, especially in a context where more and more entrepreneurs reflect on The social impact of their fortunes and the responsibility of returning part of the benefits to society, instead of limiting itself to accumulating Large amounts of money that would not spend Not in seven lives. His vision of ethical wealth Brian O’Kelley sold his company to AT&T for an amount of $ 1.6 billion in 2018. instead of retire to enjoy your new fortuneO’Kelley had with his wife what he defined as a “really interesting conversation”: decide How much money they needed To live comfortably. “We simply calculate an amount that we consider enough to buy a house and things like that, we double it and give it the rest,” confessed the entrepreneur to Fortune. The final figure were nothing negligible 100 million dollars, equivalent to 10% of their participation in the company after the acquisition. The rest, more than 1.5 billion dollars, was allocated to beneficial causes and social projects. O’Kelley maintains a very clear philosophy about The accumulation of money: “I don’t believe in billionaires. I think it’s simply ridiculous.” For the entrepreneur, the really important thing is to keep the feet on the floor and limit personal wealth to continue making responsible decisions in everyday life. “We never wanted to have so much money that we did not have to make decisions. We have an incredible life, we can do almost everything we want. But we cannot do everything we want. We have to talk about our budget as any other person,” said the millionaire businessman. O’Kelley It is not the only millionaire that assumes one Ethical perspective of its wealthand insist on demanding governments a greater tax imposition For great fortunes. The Founder of Appnexus considers that accumulating billions and show off it It takes you away from reality. “I do not understand why you need 200 billion, 500 billion or even 1,000 million. The joy of appreciating what we have and making those difficult decisions is really fundamental.” Millionaires who do not want to leave inheritance Brian O’Kelley either wants his children to enjoy a life ofprivileges without making any effort To deserve it. “I feel fatal because my children can fly in Business“, says the millionaire of 1.96 m, ensuring that he does it for comfort.” I have flown all over the world in a tourist class many times, this is to give me a whim, but I do not want to spoil my children. And a lot of this leads me to think about how they see life from their eyes. I want them to share a little of that fight that I had to do to get there. “ This approach goes in line with the growing trend between millionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Mick Jaggerwho have announced that They will not leave their fortunes to their children and prefer allocate your money to social works. Gates, for example, states that 99% of his fortune will be donated and that only 1% will go to their children, so they can learn The value of the effort. O’Kelley is overwhelming when talking about ostentatious lifestyles pointing out that hopefully more people question why the style of Jeff Bezos life. “You cannot have a yacht, a helicopter, an island and a large building with your name and all those things, because then you are a bit unbearable. No human being can really appreciate that. It is a waste of incredibly ridiculous money in a world where there are so many people who do not have it.” The entrepreneur considers to stay connected with normality and have limits that allow you to carry A responsible life. “There is something to stay connected to normal that is really important. I don’t want to get to act without consequences. I think that is the greatest risk, how can we be responsible when we have so much money that we can buy anything?” In Xataka | There is a less painful solution for an inheritance not to become a ruin for heirs: give up it Image | Flickr (IAB UK)

If the question is which of the great technology is winning the AI career, the answer is: None

by

Who is winning the AI race? At this point we should have it more or less clear. We had it when Microsoft and Intel were profiled as the dominators of the PC world or when Apple and Google triumphed with their smartphones. But with AI something curious happens: Things are very even. Of, done, too much. Of course, in the field of Openai popularity, it is the most prominent with chatgpt. Recently the company presumed to be touching The 700 million active weekly users, a really remarkable figure that leaves its competitors behind. However, that metric is not definitive, especially when we have a great unknown to elucidate: what is the best AI model? It is impossible to know today what is the best model of AI No one can give a clear answer to that question. Neither the companies, which continuously breastfeed with their new versions, nor the benchmarks, which They have become a useful but imperfect tool when evaluating the quality of these models. In Polymarket people believed that the best AI model at the end of August was going to be OpenAi. After leaving GPT-5, the perception changed. That the answer to that question is difficult Polymarket demonstrates itthis unique prediction platform in which users bet on a result and also pay it by voting for one or another conclusion. To the question of “What company does the best model of AI have at the end of August? Everything seemed to smile at Openai, but after the launch of GPT-5, the Batacazo: now the clear favorite is Gemini, the Google model, with OpenAI collapsed to 16% of the votes and even more behind Grok (XAI) with 6.3% of votes and Claude (Anthropic) with a very low (in my opinion) 1.5%. It is not that Polymarket is an especially reliable indicator of this (or anything), but it makes it clear that The public perception of these models can be very different of their real behavior in things like their number of users-here OpenAi tombs their competitors-or their performance performance such as Arc-Agi 2 (where Grok 4 wins everyone, including GPT-5). In the Benchmark of abstract thought ARC-AGI 2, Grok 4 is well above its competitors. Included GPT-5, which exceeds Claude Opus 4. Source: ARC-AGI. And that makes us even clearer what are the two great reasons why it is a real problem to know which model of AI is winning this career. The first, that these tests are often very specific and concrete, and focus on evaluating aspects such as the ability to program or solve mathematical problems of these models. And the second, that The models do not stop improving and to overcome what his rivals had achieved a few days, weeks or months before. We do not stop seeing how new versions of the models are (logically) something better programming, generating text or images or solving certain types of problems, but there is no consensual or definitive form of saying “this model is better.” As we have seen, each user also has their own personal perception (Hello, Polymarket) when using them. Some prefer Claude to program, other chatgpt for generic questions, other Gemini to talk about diverse topics and to learn, for example. And none seems to be the final model “for everything.” In a recent scientific study, researcher Steve Hsu concluded that the path followed by the current generative models will not lead to AGI. Neither now, nor ever. That leads us to a reflection: that this general artificial intelligence (AGI) is far from arriving. These systems, which are supposed to be overcome in all areas, are not even remotely close to doing so, and They continue to make mistakes even when for example GPT-5 seems to have significantly mitigate the problem of hallucinations. Analysts like Gary Marcus They reminded us These days that have been saying the same thing about 30 years: that with this type of climbing techniques We are not going to get to an AGI And that the road has to be another. And that leaves us some interesting ideas. David Sacks – Paypal Cocfounder, founder of Yammer, investor— analyzed The situation of this segment and raised striking conclusions. The five main companies that develop foundational models —Openai, Google, Meta, Anthropic or XAI – still do not master the market, but that is (or it can be) good news. And it is because there is neither a monopoly nor a duopoly of AI. What there is is a fierce competition not only among these five North American companies, but between them and all their Chinese competitors, to which a lot of startups are added that have no resources to work on foundational models – careful – and instead they try to solve another great question: what is the Killer app of the AI. That’s where there are great opportunities for these startups, which can solve success cases in which AI can really be a disruption for an industry. It is for example what emerging companies have done such as cursor or Windsurf, which have opted for the vibe coding boom and are capturing a lot of interest among the developer segment. In fact, every time we see how even the greats of AI presume that their new models program especially well or perhaps are more oriented than ever to solve mathematical problems. GPT-5 precisely use those two arguments to declare themselves better than the competition, and although some benchmarks prove them right, the perception of the users will determine whether they meet expectations or not. But there is also that great debate between the proprietary models (such as GPT-5) and the Open Source models. As Sacks says, the fact that Open Source models They can offer 80-90% of the capacity with a cost of 10-20% of foundational models is sensational for certain users. Specifically, for those who prioritize customization, control and cost savings on the use of foundational models. China goes for all with that philosophy, although curiously it was … Read more

In Europe, gas and disused coal plants have unexpected suitors: technology companies

by

The climatic commitments that It has acquired Europe They have condemned in the short or medium term the future of gas and coal power plants disseminated by the old continent. Many of them no longer serve, but, surprisingly, the rise of the artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to save them. This does not mean at all that they will burn gas and coal again; The option on the table is to convert them in data centers. Microsoft and Amazon are, According to Reuterstwo of the large technology companies that are interested in transforming these old power plants into modern data centers equipped to the last one. In fact, its managers are already negotiating with the French energy company Engie, the German RWE and the Italian in the possibility of using their facilities for this purpose. For energy companies this option is very attractive because it allows them to kill two birds. On the one hand, the transformation of their old electric power plants into data centers guarantees them in income with which they did not count so far. And, in addition, the energy companies that I have mentioned in the previous paragraph and some others are negotiating with the technology companies the possibility of give them the supply of electricity that require your data centers. A priori seems like a fissure plan. An agreement in which everyone wins “You have all the necessary pieces, such as water infrastructure and heat recovery.” This Bobby Hollis statementVice President of Energy in Microsoft, repairs something very important: the old gas and coal centrals that are no longer operational have the water supply and the heat management infrastructure that data centers need. Presumably it will not be necessary to undertake a large adaptation to transform these facilities into operational data centers. Agility when putting up these data centers and moderation of costs is what makes them so attractive to large technology On the other hand, Lindsay Mcquade, director of Energy for the EMEA area (Europe, Middle East and Africa) at Amazon, Trust in that the permits that technology companies need to operate these converted data centers are available long before the new facilities. After all, most of Infrastructure are already installed In these buildings from the beginning. In fact, agility when pointing out these data centers and moderation of start -up costs is what makes them so attractive to large technological ones. In Europe and the United Kingdom since 2005 they have closed no less than 190 coal and lignite centralsand another 153 will follow this same path before the year 2038. It is evident that the possibility of reusing all these buildings transforming them into data centers for AI is very attractive. However, there is a challenge that is not yet resolved and that can condition this plan. It is not clear that the electrical infrastructure of some countries is capable of delivering The energy required by these facilities without previously undertaking a large -scale development. In this scenario renewable energies and nuclear will have the last word.

The world of technology is no longer “the seven magnificent.” Now that scepter has “the Trinity of AI”

by

The world of cinema has some fixation with number seven. It is demonstrated by the mythical ‘The Seven Samurais‘(1954, Akira Kurosawa) which would then be adapted to the genus Western with’The magnificent seven‘(1960, John Sturges). The idea ended up moving to the business world and for a few years there has been talk of “The magnificent seven“In reference at seven most important technology companies in the world. Well, that number is no longer so relevant. It seems that we will have to change it for a three. The four billion club. Last week Microsoft became the second company in the world to achieve a stock market capitalization of Four billion dollars. Just two weeks before Nvidia had been advanced. Both have climbed into the AI car and benefit widely from it, but there is a third leading protagonist that is still far from that milestone but that goes like a rocket. The 10 companies with the greatest stock market capitalization today. Goal is far from the four billion, but its recent growth is spectacular. Source: CompaniesMarketcap.com Goal. The recent ones Financial results presented by goal served to make the company redouble their commitment to this segmetno. Those responsible spoke of a much larger capex than expected that will rise to 66,000-72,000 million dollars. That, added to all movements they are doing to sign talent and creating a new superintelligence team have caused remarkable optimism among investors. Meta actions rose more than 10% after these ads, although in recent days their value – like that of their competitors – has reduced significantly. We have gone from “the magnificent seven” … In recent years that list with the most important companies in the world (by stock market capitalization) was dominated by large technological ones. Among the first 10-15 positions were always those “seven magnificent”, namely: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla. All of them remain very relevant, but the rise of AI has changed the panorama. … to “the trinity of the AI”. Dec Mullarkey, manager at the Capital firm SLC Management, He spoke How “the Magnificent seven have compressed (and became) in the Trinity of AI.” The expectation that these companies do not stop generating remains extraordinary, and that has made investments and interest in these companies absolutely triggered. Overvalued? The Ratio P/E (also known as Per, Price to Earnings Ratio) is a metric that evaluates whether an action is expensive or cheap in relation to the benefits of the company. A high P/E means that investors expect a high growth of benefits, and a low one may indicate that the action is undervalued. According to this metric, Tesla is very, very overvaluedwhile Google is relatively undervalued with respect to its competitors. The companies of “The Trinity of AI” are somewhat overvalued. Graph: Xataka. Data: Companymarketcap.com Google’s mysterious case. It is strange that in that “trinity of AI” is a goal but not Google, which at least in practice is much stronger: His family of Gemini models is more capable than those who have a goal, for example, but for now, investors do not seem completely convinced of their ability to lead that segment. The situation of Amazon and Apple It is very different: both have made their respective bets, but they are still very relegated in that AI race.

China increasingly dominates technology on earth. There is a place where they are still far from Occiden

by

A recent report The New York Times He has evidenced the Chinese difficulty to compete with Spacex in the deployment of communications satellites. While Musk’s company already accumulates 8,000 Starlink satellitesthe two main Chinese networks just add 120 units in orbit. Why is it important. Low orbit satellites are strategic for autonomous cars, war with drones and military surveillance. China considers Starlink a direct threat and has planned two megaconstellations with 27,000 satellites between them. Qianfan, the constellation of low orbit satellites developed by China, anticipated having 650 operating satellites at the end of the year. Shanghai Spacesail Technologies, the company after the project, has only managed to put 90 in orbit since August. Guowang, an alternative born in 2020, is even worse: 34 satellites of the 13,000 planned for the next decade. The context. The Popular Chinese Liberation Army See Starlink as something “deeply integrated into the US military combat system”. It is not empty paranoia: this network is essential to coordinate drones in Ukraine and Spacex has government contracts for spying and missile monitoring. The background. China has not solved the key problem that Spacex solved years ago: reusable rockets. Chinese companies continue to wear single -use pitchers, which multiplies costs and reduces the frequency of launches. The Falcon 9 can reuse its first stage up to 20 times, greatly reducing the costs. After five hundred missionsit is still the reference. Chinese candidates –Long March 8R, Zhuque-3, Tianlong-3– accumulate failures and delays. Yes, but. China is negotiating Contracts with 30 countries to access Qianfan. He has already signed agreements in Brazil, Thailand, Malaysia and Kazakhstan, taking advantage of certain misgivings towards American technology dependence. The rhythm of Chinese launches accelerates: more than thirty missions in the first half, putting 150 satellites in orbit. But they need to multiply by five or six the rhythm to fulfill their international radio frequency commitments. In addition, there are some counterparts to your proposal: The decisive moment. Chinese megaconstellations must launch half of their satellites in five years after obtaining the frequencies, completing the deployment in seven. Not fulfilling could force them to reduce the size of the networks. Main loser? China dominates manufacturing, batteries, solar panels and traditional (non -advanced) semiconductors. But in sectors that require maximum risk assumption – Biotechnology, the space – the United States maintains a decisive advantage. Getting smaller in some scenarios, but maintains it. The business mentality that rewards rapid and cheap failures against guaranteed successes makes the difference between Spacex and its Chinese rivals.

Airplanes have been depending on GPS for decades. Some engineers have another idea to replace it: quantum technology

by

Airbus and the company derived from Google focused on quantum technology and IA, Sandboxaq, have completed more than 150 flight hours Testing Magnava revolutionary system that uses Quantum sensors to detect the unique magnetic “fingerprints” of each point on the earth. The initial results have been promising, and are a sign that technology could rival the Traditional GPS and even overcome it in precision. Why is it relevant. The GPS has become the Achilles heel of modern aviation. Interference attacks and Spoofing They are dramatically increasing in conflicting areas such as the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia, and this It also affects civil flights. The military use these techniques to confuse missiles and drones, but the consequences extend dangerously to commercial aviation. Hence the importance of looking for a viable alternative to GPS. Magnav. Image: Sandboxaq The secret of its operation. Magnav has more or less the size of a toaster, and has a laser that shoots photons against electrons. When the laser goes out, these electrons release the absorbed photons with a unique energy firm that reflects the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field in that exact location. An artificial intelligence algorithm processes this information and compares it with detailed magnetic maps to determine the position of the plane. Each square meter of the planet has an unrepeatable magnetic firm, created by the iron particles of the earth’s core that magnetize the minerals of the cortex. More precision and more difficult to supplant. Unlike GPS, which depends on vulnerable digital signals from satellites, quantum sensors are completely analog and process data generated entirely on board. Jack Hidary, CEO of Sandboxaq, Explain that this makes them “essentially impossible to interfere or supplant.” During the evidence, Magnav managed to meet the standards of the Federal American Aviation Administration 100% of the time, maintaining precision within 2 nautical miles. Even more impressive, it reached a 550 -meter accuracy in 64% of the occasions. Beyond aircraft. The experts They predict A quantum sensor market valued between 1,000 and 6,000 million dollars by 2040. This technology promises to detect submarines and hidden tunnels in defensive applications, and weak magnetic signs of the heart and brain in medicine, allowing non -invasive diagnoses. Joe Depa, Global Innovation Director of EY, Underline That “we are not talking about something within 20 years, but about something that is here and now.” The next step. Sandboxaq plans to go first to the defense sector before expanding to commercial flights. Although more evidence and certifications are required, Hidary stands out that have overcome “the difficult part: demonstrate that technology works.” According to him, it is the “first novel absolute navigation system that we know in the last 50 years.” Cover image | Ross Parmly In Xataka | The 777x is Boeing’s great bet to return to the top: folding wings, redesign cabin and the largest engine in the world

The numbers do not usually lie, especially in the long term. And Intel’s figures during the last decade speak of a historical replication. Of A giant come less in an alarming way. In figures. In 2015, Intel’s stock capitalization multiplied by Nvidia. Almost ten years later, that of Nvidia, the first company in history to exceed four billion dollars, multiplies by 41! to Intel, which has been jibarized at a time when it has been exceeded by many lower companies. A brutal change that symbolizes the change of technological era: Nvidia’s boom first for its GPUS sales for cryptocurrency mining and then for the training of AI models. Intel’s decline due to its inconsequence in the mobile era, the rival boom in CPUS, or the passage of Microsoft or Apple to ARM. And not only Nvidia has advanced. Also Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, AMD … Gelsinger’s legacy. The contrast. In 2006, Intel refused to make chips for the iPhone Because I considered that Apple was too small. That same year, Intel tried to buy Nvidia For 20,000 million dollars, but Jensen Huang refused. Today these decisions have completely checked Intel’s route, which at the beginning of the century was always in the top 10 of world companies by stock market and today is close to leaving the Top 200. The threat. The Hard recent admission of CEO Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, that Intel is no longer among the top 10 of semiconductors, says many more things. The company that fed the PC revolution, which created the Wintel ecosystem that dominated for decades and was synonymous with American innovation, now is worth less than Spotify, Coinbase or Iberdrola. Yes, but. The 5,500 new layoffs announced by Intel They are more than an adjustment or cut. In California, almost 2,000 jobs will disappear. In Oregon, almost 3,000. In total, 20% of the workforce will be fired. The workers who developed the technology that moved the world are now expendable. The turn. Intel has outsourced TSMC 30% of its production by 2025. Paradoxical in a company that presumed its vertical integration, which controlled from design to manufacturing. And that now depends on his Taiwanese rival to survive. A symbolic surrender: the king of manufacturing asking for help to who removed the throne. Between the lines. The strategy of pivoting to the edge announced by so sounds like last minute refuge. “It’s too late for us“The CEO admitted. It is not only to recognize the loss against Nvidia, it is to recognize the loss in the most important race of what we have been from the century: that of AI. And another paradox: China represents 29% of Intel’s incomemore than any other market. The most iconic American technology company depends more on China than its own market. Trump is focused on technological independence in this legislature … … but Intel needs China to stay alive. Turning point. He 18A process That must save Intel by 2025 generates certain doubts. And if he fails, Intel runs out of his last asset to compete with TSMC. If it triumphs, it will be a partial victory, since it will be arriving five years late to the battle. This Intel fall also symbolizes something else: the end of the vertical integration model in chips represented Intel against Nvidia’s specialization model. The first designs and manufactures. The second designs but leaves manufacturing in the hands of TSMC. And hence the problem for the West: advanced manufacturing is concentrated in Asia and the value is redistributed.
