by

Update 06/06/2025 21:08: The video platform has re -operated normally If you were planning to finish the week watching videos in YouTube And you are not getting it, calm: the problem is not on your computer or in your Internet connection. The world’s most popular video platform is experiencing failures at the moment, with several users reporting errors to access or reproduce content. In our tests from Spain, trying to enter YouTube.comthe page loads partially but shows no miniatures or content. The only thing that appears is the usual skeleton of the interface: gray blocks where videos should go, without images, without titles and without descriptive text. It is not a punctual failure: the interface directly does not work. Reports about YouTube failures too They are appearing in Downdetectora platform that includes incidents in digital services from the alerts of the users themselves. According to visible data at this time, the peak of problems began few minutes before 20:00 (Spanish peninsular time), with more than 5,000 notifications in a very short time. For now, the origin of the failures that are affecting YouTube is unknown. Neither the platform itself nor its parent company, Google (owned by Alphabet), have offered explanations about what happened nor have any official statement issued. There is also no technical information that allows us to understand whether it is a specific problem on servers or a global fall of the system. At the time of publishing this article, The official YouTube account in X (formerly Twitter) has not done No mention to the problems that are affecting the service. The last message posted dates back approximately 24 hours. The falls of this type may be due to multiple factors: from errors on the servers of the platform itself to service denial (DDOS) attacks or failures in fundamental third party services for the operation of the Internet, such as the content distribution network suppliers (CDN) or DNS.

Claude joins the list of attendees who challenge Google with updated responses

by

During the last decades, Google got so much in our lives that we ended up adopting the verb “google” as a synonym for looking for information. Phrases like “Give me a second to google” or “Did you google?” They became part of the day to day. But things are changing from the hand of artificial intelligence (AI). A giant who begins to give ground. Google is no longer the only access door to information. More and more users resort to attendees promoted by artificial intelligence (AI) to find answers. And that is where Perplexity, Chatgpt and now Claude come into play, who are gaining strength. Why we should pay attention. That a chatbot of AI can search the website makes the difference. Without that capacity, their answers are based only on the data with which it was trained, which can leave out key information or make it be left behind in the face of recent changes. Claude now search on the web. Anthropic’s chatbot is already able to obtain real -time internet information. In addition, it includes direct appointments so you can check the sources for yourself. Instead of showing only results, Claude processes them and presents the information in a conversational format easier to understand. Use scenarios. Now that Claude can search the web, the question is clear: in what cases does this function make the difference? Its creators have identified several key uses in which Internet access improves experience with chatbot, although the real limit is put by users and their needs. Account transformation and improvement in success rates in sales equipment through more informed conversations with customers, based on the analysis of the sector trends and the identification of key points. Market data assessment in real time, profits and tendencies of the sector to optimize investment decisions and improve the accuracy of financial models. Preparation of subsidy proposals and more solid bibliographic reviews thanks to access to primary sources on the web, the detection of emerging trends and the identification of lagoons in current research. Detailed comparison of products, prices and reviews in multiple sources to make more founded purchase decisions. At the moment, only in the US. The search function on the Claude website is now available for payment users in the United States. There is no confirmed date for its arrival in Europe. His arrival to the old continent is an unknown and it is not clear if he could be affected by local regulations, as has happened with Apple and Meta. Expansion is a matter of time. Anthropic states that Claude’s website will “soon” more countries already users of the free plan. The latter makes sense since the competition offers access to the search without going through a box. It is not known when it will expand, but what is undeniable is that competition in AI does not stop accelerating.

Google has updated its principles for AI, and the mention has disappeared not to develop weapons with this technology

by

In the middle of the growing rivalry in the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI), some companies are adjusting their approaches to the scopes of this technology. Last year, Openai suppressed certain terms of your policy before announcing An agreement with the Pentagon. Now is Google’s turn, which has updated its “principles for AI”. Mountain View firm has almost completely redesigned the aforementioned documentbut what has caught the attention is the absence of the category “AI applications that we are not going to address.” As his name suggested, he grouped several specific areas in which IA would not be designed or implemented to preserve the responsible development of it. Google, artificial intelligence and weapons As we can see in the capture, The original list It included in its first item “technologies that cause or can cause damage in general. When there is a important risk of causing damagewe will continue only when we consider that the benefits considerably compensate the risks, and we will include adequate restrictions to ensure security ”. The following items indicated “armament or other technologies whose main purpose or application is to cause damage or hurt people, technologies that collect or use information to monitor breach of internationally accepted standards, technologies whose purpose contravenes the generally accepted principles of international law and rights humans “. The “AI applications that we are not going to embroider” in the original document Bloomberg, who was one of the first means to detect change, requested comments from Google. The company responded with a blog post signed by James Manyika, SVP of Google, and Demis Hassabis, who directs the Laboratory of the Google Deepmind, which speaks of the Responsible development of AI in democracy and Refer to the page with updated principles. “We recognize the speed with which the underlying technology, and the debate around the progress, implementation and uses of AI, will continue to evolve, and continue adapting and refining our approach as we all learn over time,” he said The company. It should be noted that new defense contracts have not been announced by Google. In the past, the firm led by Laster Pichai worked with the pentagon in the Maven projectwhich was to use AI to process data from various sources (mainly drones), identify potential objectives in war areas and more. Google decided not to renew your collaboration contract With the US government after their own employees protest.
