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.

A man has survived an accidental flight of 8,000 meters high. The video of the feat has cost him expensive: it occurred in China

by

To get an idea, 8,000 meters high equals what is known as “Death” area In mountaineering, that point where the atmosphere is so thin that the human body cannot survive much time without supplementary oxygen. We talk about an altitude similar to CIMA DEL Mount Everest (8,848 meters), and higher than the usual flight of many small commercial aircraft (below commercials, of course, which usually operate between 10,000 to 12,000 meters). Well, a man has reached that altitude accidentally. Also He has survived And there is A video. An accidental feat. In architectural terms, those 8,000 meters high would be like stack Torres Burj Khalifathe highest skyscraper in the world with 828 meters, or place several times Mount Fuji one over another. At that point, temperatures fall to tens of degrees below zero, atmospheric pressure is reduced to less than a third of the sea level, and without specialized equipment, even breathing becomes a small miracle. And yet, what began as a simple equipment test ended in an odyssey at such a height for Peng Yujiang, a Chinese parapetist who, without pretending to really take off, was caught by a powerful ascending current in the Qilian mountain range. It started from about 3,000 meters of altitude and, in just twenty minutes, it was driven another 5,000 meters to the sky. With temperatures up to -35 ° Ccovered with ice and with frozen hands, Peng tried to maintain paragliding control and communicate by radio with his friend on land, Gu Zhimin. The man remained more than an hour In the air, he momentarily losing consciousness and landed 30 km beyond of your starting point. A feat, but not recognized. Although the Chinese authorities have recognized the survival of Peg As something exceptional“No one can be 8,000 meters without oxygen and remain alive,” They saidexpensive has come out: a hard sanction has fallen with six months of prohibition to fly for not having registered his flight, which placed him outside the legal framework. The video of the incident we see above, engraved by PEG and disseminated by GU in the social network Douyin, became viral, generating admiration between the public and criticism among the officials, who also punished Gu with Six months of disqualification for disseminating the material without permission. By the way, although some have suggested that Peng could have broken a world record, the authorities ruled out for the Lack of official registration of the flight. Parallelism with an identical accident. Peng’s story remembers that of the record established in 2007 by the German Ewa Wiśnierskawho was also absorbed by a thermal current while flying in Australia and reached no less than the 9,946 meters high. As Peng, Wiśnierska lost knowledge during his flight, although he survived and discovered the altitude reached by reviewing his instrumentation after landing. The difference is that this record was officially recognized, and that of Peng, however extremely it would be, will be relegated to the chronicle of what impossible But not certified. For the Annals, an involuntary, amazing feat … and punished, first in China for the dissemination of graphic material, and then not fitting on the bureaucratic margins of air sport. A true penalty for such a flight. Image | X In Xataka | The British army wanted to celebrate the day D unfolding its paratroopers in Normandy.

We can no longer know if a video is real or not

by

In 2018, when the first Deepfakes began to circulate, we said that this was the beginning of the end of the credibility of the video as proof. We are wrong. It was not the beginning of the end. It was the first warning that the end was close. Now, with I see 3 from Google, that moment has arrived. The clips that circulate through Reddit and X They are indistinguishable from real recordings. We do not talk hands with six fingers or faces of the disturbing valley. We talk about videos that exceed any visual test that we could do as simple spectators. And if they don’t succeed, they will achieve it shortly. Especially in a world that consumes video on small mobile screens, less retailers. The end of video as an irrefutable proof For decades, the video has been our gold standard for evidence. “I have seen it with my own eyes” was synonymous with total certainty. A recording was enough to knock down governments or demonstrate innocences. That axiom of information consumption is dying before our eyes. Users of I see 3 They share false news clips about disasters, deceased politicians and violence that never happened. With synchronized dialogues, realistic and physical effects. The model even adds conversations that were not in the Prompt Original, as if it had its own editorial criteria. It is with narrative instinct. But here is the real problem: it is not just that we can create convincing false videos. Is that we are running out of ways to distinguish the real ones from synthetic without sophisticated technical tools. We are entering an era of permanent visual agnosticismwhere each video will imply the question: “Is this really happened?” The perfect alibi to deny reality Macron was pushed by his wife when he got off the plane. The Elyseo denied that the video was real: “It is not a real video, it is made with AI.” He had to end up admitting that it was real, but the damage was done: they had discovered the perfect alibi. If any video can be synthetic, then any awkward video can be discredited simply claiming that it is artificial. The AI ​​becomes the universal escape argument. The politician caught, the company violating rights, the regime documenting repression … all have now The most perfect reasonable doubt ever invented. It is not necessary to demonstrate that a video is false, just sow suspicion. In a world where falsification is technically possible, the possibility becomes sufficient argument. Paradoxically, a technology that allows us to create perfect fiction also allows us to deny the perfectly documented reality. Learn to live without visual certainties Google’s safeguards are selective: you can’t generate Biden falling, but natural disasters and urban violence. They protect you from the obvious, not from the subtle. If each video can be false … What happens to a society that bases your knowledge of the world on audiovisual consumption? How do we judge credibility, guilt or legitimacy when any test can be manufactured in minutes? The solution cannot only be technical. We need media literacy that assumes counterfeiting as a starting point. But above all, accept that we have lost one of our most basic instruments to distinguish reality from fiction. The video as proof has died. Or it is about to do it. We only have to learn to live in a world where Seeing Is No Longer Believing.

But the truth is that with the pack it comes much more profitable. Of course, it is worth mentioning that The video game comes in digital formatso it has to be downloaded from the Nintendo store (ESHOP) through a download code.

The Curiosity Rover has been climbing a mountain of Mars for 12 years. I just sent an impressive video from above

by

He Increased Rover Curiosity He has sent to Earth a new Marte video that is simply a jewel: an immersive panoramic view of 30 seconds that transports us directly to the slopes of Mount Sharp. Look at it full screen because this is the closest thing to a walk on the red planet that we will have until Elon Musk puts the starship flights at the balance price. A family world. At first glance, the images captured by NASA’s rover last February could remind us of a desert landscape in Chile or the southwest United States. But do not deceive your eyes: that “saw” that is seen in the distance is actually the edge of the gigantic Gale crater, formed by the impact of an asteroid billions of years ago. Curiosity, a rolling laboratory to the size of a mini cooperation, was then ascending on the slopes of Mount Sharp, an imposing mountain of almost 5 kilometers of height sculpted by the time inside the crater itself. Since its arrival in 2012, the Curiosity Rover has traveled about 32 kilometers on the dusty Martian land, exploring the Gale Crater without rest. What we are seeing. The area where these images were taken, formally known as “sulfate carrier unit”, is full of saline minerals. Scientists believe that these minerals are the legacy of streams and ponds that dried eones, before Mars went from being a world potentially similar to Earth to the ice cream desert we know today. NASA invites us to get carried away by imagination: “You can imagine the silent and dim wind, or perhaps even the waves of a disappeared lake have long licking an old shore.” Rumbo to new mysteries. Although it has been on Mars for almost 13 years, the Curiosity expedition does not stop here. Left behind the Gediz Vallis channel, where about a year ago accidentally discovered elementary sulfur (A disconcerting finding, since on Earth it is usually associated with volcanic gases or bacterial activity). And now he is now heading towards a region with some intriguing geological formations called “Boxwork”. These structures, seen from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter orbiter, seem like a kind of spider web, with ridges extending for several kilometers that will probably need warm groundwater to form. And where there is water, it is already known, there is potential to find past life clues. The researchers wonder If you are “Boxwork” They could have housed old unicellular microorganisms and have sent the Curiosity Rover to find out. The Curiosity Rover seen from above for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe Another point of view. While Curiosity covers these long journeys on the Martian surface, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Follow it from above. On February 28, the Hirise Chamber of the ship captured the first orbital image of the rover in full displacement by the red planet In the image, Curiosity appears as a dark mota in front of a long trace of fingerprints that extend about 320 meters.

Dua Lipa closed the meadow and came out with a video. Mrbeast entered the Mayan pyramids and has come out with a demand under his arm

by

The visits of Influencers With millions of followers to cultural places it has become a controversial trend. A few days ago, Dua Lipa closed the Prado Museum. A few weeks before, Mrbeast accessed to restricted stays only to researchers in some of the Most important Mayan enclaves from Mexico. None of those events has gone unnoticed For the public debatebut in the case of Mrbeast, the issue is about to take him before the courts, as he pointed out The New York Times. Mrbeast discovers the Mayan culture. What was going to be a video of Disclosure on Mayan culture of the youtuber with more followers of the platform, it has signs of becoming In a legal maze With the Mexican government. In it Video in question The popular YouTuber is shown accompanied by its usual collaborators exploring different Mayan archaeological places in Mexico. During the video, visitors access, accompanied by a guideto areas restricted to the public From Chichen Itzá and Calakmul, two of the most protected enclaves in the country. At certain moments of the video, Mrbeast himself is surprised by the visit. The youtuber assured in the video: “I cannot believe that the government allows us to do this.” During your visit to the interior of A camera in a Mayan pyramidthe guide took a Mayan funeral mask out of his ditch that delivered Mrbeast, who responded with eloquent “Why is this not in a museum? Why does a YouTuber hold this?” The controversy: the permits and nature of the recording. In a published statement In his X profileMrbeast, confirmed that the producer had all the necessary permits to record in the archaeological sites and that all measures had been met to protect the archaeological heritage. In addition, in A statement issued by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) it was confirmed that the visit and filming were carried out under supervision and with the corresponding authorizations. The INAH explained that the formal request for the recording was submitted by the Federal Tourism Secretariat and the governments of Yucatán and Campeche, and that Institute personnel accompanied the MRBASTI team throughout the recording to guarantee the protection of the heritage. In addition, INAH clarified that the mask shown in the video is a contemporary replica and not a pre -Hispanic piece. Controversial special effects. Despite the permits, the video generated discomfort between part of Mexican society and experts in historical heritage, especially for scenes in which Mrbeast seems to descend by helicopter on the pyramid of Chichén Itzá or fly a drone inside the temple located on the cusp of the structure. In that sense, INAH replied that these sequences are false and are part of the video edition and assembly, ensuring that such a descent was never made on the monument or a drone was introduced inside the pyramid. In the words of INAH: “It was clearly undergoing an extensive audiovisual postproduction and refers to events that did not occur.” The problem: the Maya do not advertise. Beyond denials and recording permits, the controversy by the video has climbed into intensity until it becomes a demand filed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History that had authorized the recording of the video. The demand has its origin in which, at a time of the video, Mrbeast and his team are shown in a camp tasting a dinner with Mayan food and dishes. At the end of dinner, Mrbeast presented one of his Feastable chocolate bars as “the only dessert approved by the Maya.” This act was interpreted as an undue commercial link between the private brand and the Mexican archaeological heritage. Touch the image to access the original message As published in Your X profile“The permit issued to the company Full Circle Media, representative of MR Beast, did not authorize the publication of false information or the use of the image of the archaeological sites for the advertising of commercial brands for private profit purposes.” The Institute stressed that the permission granted did not contemplate the commercial exploitation of the images or the promotion of private brands in these protected spaces. Argument that the content creator refuted saying: “They knew that we mentioned festable in the video, but out of respect for the sites, he filmed away from any national monument. The scene of the dinner where I made the feastable joke was not close to any Mayan temple.” She has reached the president’s ears. The impact of the Mrbeast video and the Maya has reached the political sphere and President Claudia Sheinbaum has requested an investigation About the facts. “You have to see exactly the content, but it is not that it has entered without the permission of the INAH,” said the president during Your press conference in the morning of the town. On the other hand, the governor of the state of Campeche, Layda Sansores, in which some of Mayan excavations who visited Mrbeast, He showed his full support to the creator of content and thanked his support for the Mayan culture and his contribution to improve living conditions of the population of Campeche. “We deeply move us to know that in Campeche you are not only leaving a mark on the communities that will now have water thanks to you, but you are also helping to promote archaeological exploration,” Sansores wrote.

I have generated this video in less than a minute and from the mobile. This is how I see 2 in Gemini’s app

by

Yesterday he had Google as protagonist, and between all the news that presented was I see 3. His artificial intelligence generative text to video advanced on the right to all its competitors, being the first capable of generating audio next to the video itself. With the arrival of I see 3, I see 2 becomes an accessible version. So much, that you can try it in Gemini’s own app in both iOS and Android. In Xataka we wanted to test it, and the results are … good, very good. How to access See 2. I see 2 now part of the Google AI Pro plan, for 21.99 euros per month. This includes access to Gemini’s model 2.5, I see 2, flow, notebooklm, gemini in apps such as Gmail or Google Docs, and 2 TB of cloud storage. Access to see 3 will require the 250 dollar planfrom what I see 2 automatically becomes the most mainstream option and accessible to users that do not Look for professional uses with this AI. In iOS and Android. If you have the Gemini Pro Plan, as soon as you open the app on Android you will now see a video option, next to those of Research and Canvas. Just press this option to access the mode of video creation, with a generation of up to eight seconds. In the case of iOS, we have to go to the upper section of the app, and change the model that we have selected (2.5 flash, 2.5 pro or deep researc) to I see 2. Once you are configured thus, we can introduce the prompt. The instructions. Using I see 2 in Gemini is quite easy: we just have to be as descriptive as possible. The more detailed the description, the better the result will be. For its correct operation it is not necessary to write the Prompt in English, it works perfectly if we give the instruction in Spanish. Testing I see 2. One of yesterday’s great memes had to do with a challenge that is still choking many IAS: that of a person eating Spaguetti. This benchmark of the absurd implies complex understanding of textures, movement, deformation … and yes, I see 2 solves it. Not perfectly, but solves it. It is not a perfect. In a petition as simple as the “drone flight about Paradisiaca Beach. There are people surfing, palm trees, floring seagulls” has generated a fairly poor result. An idea to improve it? Having asked him not to be people, since generating so many elements has distorted the result. In this last example, two people dancing flamenco with a black background, surprise hair quality, how it has taken care of makeup, gestures … having made such a close plane the dance is not well appreciated, but it is another proof of how this AI works. There is no open bar. There are no more examples not because I don’t want to, but because Google has not left me. After generating a few videos (3,4) he has told me that he could not generate more until after half an hour. After half an hour … he hasn’t left me either. It is clear that paying 20 euros is not enough to create infinite videos, so we will have to use this tool with a certain moderation.

The next milestone for the IAS that generates video was to make them with audio. Google has achieved it with I see 3

by

Great day for Google. We are in full I/O 2025, the most important software event for the American company. Interestingly, Android is being one of the least sounded names: this year the only thing that matters is AI. And, related to AI, Google has been working on a model that allows you to generate video through text. That model is I seeand in its new update it is able to generate these videos … with audio. I see 3. Google has three levels for its generative artificial intelligence of video. I see 1, I see 2 And the new I see 3. Yes, they are much easier names regarding what We are accustomed to us. I see 3 is the most powerful model, capable of generating 4K video with advanced film compression. In this Google I/or gains a key capacity: the generation of video with audio. Of environmental sounds to dialogues. Google goes with everything with I see 3. This model not only has a higher quality with respect to I see 2: it is the only one of Google capable of generating videos with audio. For example, if in the prompt we detail that we want an urban scene, it will be able to recreate some of the sounds corresponding to it (people walking, traffic, bustle, etc.). Google goes further, and promises to be able to create even dialogues between characters. This is one of the definitive barriers for text to text to become practically a science fiction function. With I see 3 it will be possible to do everything. IMPROVEMENTS IN SEE 2. Although I see 3 is the absolute protagonist, I see 2 is updated with new functions. Among them, it premieres new camera controls much more precise for Traveling and Zoom movements, outpainting options to expand the framing (to pass the vertical to horizontal or vice versa video), as well as the possibility of adding or deleting elements of the video. Flow arrives. Related to VI, Image and Gemini arrives Flow, the new Google tool to create cinematographic videos through AI. It is a new work environment to be able to give free rein to our creations with I see: a video editor with whom we can create both with image and I see. In addition to functioning as editor, it will have some social function. Through Flow we can access Flow TV, a feed in which we will see content, channels and creators who are generating videos with I see. Ahead of Open AI. Chatgpt creators surprised the world with Soraits artificial intelligence to generate video from a prompt. The problem? At least, at the time we write these lines, it is not able to generate video. In December 2024 Google already advanced Sora on the right Showing the capabilities of VER 2, which quadrupled the video output resolution with respect to the Open AI model. It also allowed to create more durable videos, and a “understanding” of spectacular physics, something that makes the difference when creating a natural video. Your rivals. Rival video generators such as Runway, Luma ai either Pika Labs They allow to add external audio, but in no case generate sound at the time of delivering the final video. Google has just been punched on the table with I see 3, maintaining the first career position and further complicating things to giants like Open AI. At the moment, these functions will be available for GEMINI Ultra subscribers in the United States through the Gemini and Flow app, as well as for companies through VERTEX AI.

The psychological barrier of 100 euros per video game is closer than ever. And the owners of ‘GTA VI’ have opinions

by

Barely a five years ago We asked ourselves If 80 euros for a PlayStation 5 game was a lot or little. Today the thing has gone to more. Because of the latest movements in the industry and although no company has decided to take the final step, the psychological barrier of 100 euros already has more than “psychological” than authentic barrier. Because we already have it on the horizon. The Take-Two CEO, of course. The last comment On the price of the games it has been from the Take-Two CEO (owner of Rockstar), Strauss Zelnick, who has spoken of “variable prices” when asked about ‘GTA VI‘. The game, he says, must be in proportion to the experience offered: “Our goal is to create The best entertainment in the world and take it to all consumers, wherever they are, and for that We must offer value“, he says, while defending the price of 50 euros for ‘Mafia: The Old Country’, also of the company. It makes sense, but it hurts the same. The variable price, on the table, has logic: if the game is a blockbuster that It has cost 200 million dollars It will have a more expensive price than an indie production with a team of five people. But before that logic we find more or less arbitrary increases, that have been much discussed and that actually have a lot of industry’s score to see how far the machine can be forced. For example, in the announcement of his imminent switch 2, Nintendo talked about games such as ‘Mario Kart World’, with a price close to 90 euros In its physical edition. The fallacy of entertainment. Meanwhile, we continue to see opinions such as Shuhei Yoshida, responsible for the PlayStation brand, today retired, and that said in an interview that “I think it remains a bargain (the price of 80-90 euros) considering the amount of entertainment that the highest quality games provide compared to other forms of entertainment.” It is a fallacy that has been widely refuted: The “Cost per hour” as a value measure and consequent excuse to raise prices blur the quality of experience in favor of the number of hours, and has taken us, over time, to A large amount of filling and superfluous material in video games. To 80 those of PS5. The last time we saw such an aggressive price increase was when PlayStation 5 imposed as a rule for its AAA games the 80 euros. At that time, We adjust prices to inflation From the video game industry until its beginnings and we conclude that they were not as expensive as they seemed: the current 80 euros of PS5 equals almost 120 that the Super Nintendo games cost or the almost 400 of the Neo Geo games in the nineties. Have we gone to better? Are games cheaper now? The numbers seem to secure it. Cheaper, but no. As Baitybait explained In a video about games pricesif we adjust to inflation today’s games are not so expensive. But the truth is that market circumstances have changed since the time of the Super Nintendo. They have changed, for example, certain sales strategies (before a game was a game and point; now there are special editions, microtransactions, DLCs and then launch complete editions …).
