In case there weren’t enough AI companies. Jeff Bezos has just returned from the shadows to raise another one, according to the NYT

November 18, 2025 by usatoday24

After leading Amazon for almost three decadesJeff Bezos left four years ago the highest position in the company that he created to focus on other projects. Personally, His wedding to Lauren Sánchez made headlines; professionally, His involvement with Blue Origin has been constantat a time when the space company rivals SpaceX like never before. At 61 years old and in a comfortable stage of his life, few would have imagined that Bezos would return to the CEO chair of a new company. But in Silicon Valley, where withdrawal is rarely final, nothing can ever be closed. The case of Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, is a good reminder: At the age of 70 he assumed the presidency and executive direction of Relativity Space. And now, according to The New York TimesBezos is back. Bezos returns to an operational position with a powerful bet The tycoon, who as of this writing appears as the third richest person on the planetaccording to Forbeshas set his sights on a new project. We talk about Project Prometheusa company that emerges with financing of 6.2 billion dollars, much of it contributed by Bezos himself. And, of course, it is a bet on artificial intelligence. The company appears at a time when artificial intelligence is experiencing accelerated expansion. It is no secret that the environment is dominated by names like Google, Meta and Microsoft, along with references such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Added to this dynamic is a growing number of startups seeking to differentiate themselves with more specialized proposals. That Bezos adopts an operational role in this context reinforces the relevance of the project and positions it from the beginning within the competition for the most ambitious advances in the sector. As detailed by the American newspaper, the first steps of Project Prometheus have not been particularly visible and there is still no confirmed date for the start of its operations. However, the type of technology that is being developed is known, focused on applying AI to engineering and manufacturing challenges in areas such as computing, aerospace and automotive. It is an approach that requires teams with high scientific specialization. For now, the location of the company has not been made public either, a fact that remains unclear. The company is focused on applying AI to engineering and manufacturing challenges in areas such as computing, aerospace and automotive. The sources consulted point out a relevant detail: Bezos returns to direct management by becoming co-CEO of Project Prometheus, a role that he had not held since leaving Amazon. Share that responsibility with Vik Bajajphysicist and chemist with extensive experience in applied research. We are talking about a profile that worked alongside Sergey Brin at Google X and later participated in the launch of Verily, Alphabet’s laboratory dedicated to life sciences. Project Prometheus is part of a broader trend within the sector. A growing number of companies are applying artificial intelligence to tasks linked to the physical world, from robotics to drug design or scientific research. This year, several researchers from companies such as Meta, OpenAI or Google DeepMind have abandoned consolidated projects to found new initiatives, such as Periodic Labsfocused on accelerating discoveries in physics and chemistry. It is in that environment where Prometheus begins to place itself. The interest in applying artificial intelligence to the physical world also responds to an important technical difference. Large language models learn from huge amounts of digital text, from articles to technical documentation. According to The New York Times, the new approach goes one step further: systems that can also learn from real experiments, run by robots in automated laboratories. Initiatives like AlphaFold have already demonstrated advances in areas such as drug design. It’s on that frontier, where software meets physical experimentation, where Prometheus wants to compete. The implementation of the project is also reflected in your team. Project Prometheus, sources say, has incorporated nearly a hundred employees, including researchers from companies such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Meta. This movement confirms the technical ambition of the company and the intention to advance quickly in a field where talent is decisive. Bezos’ decision to return to an operational role also comes at a particularly competitive time for the industry, adding even more attention to the company’s next steps.

We knew Tesla’s sales were crashing in 2025. We weren’t aware to what extent

November 7, 2025 by usatoday24

Dramatic figures. And it is not an exaggeration. It is the confirmation that something is not going well with Tesla’s sales in Europe. We already know that the first month of each quarter is usually especially bad for the company. October, the tenth of the year, has been particularly disastrous. A year to forget. If we add up Tesla’s sales in Europe so far this year, the reported figures are bad. In the first nine months of the year (now we will tell why we took this figure), Elon Musk’s company sold 173,694. A far cry from last year’s 242,976 units at the end of the third quarter. Specifically, 28.5% less. The figures are especially worrying for Tesla because the electric car market share grew in the same period from 13.1% to 16.1%. Therefore, its total market share has decreased from 2.5% in September 2024 to 1.7%. The market share hit among electric cars should, therefore, be much greater. Dramatic October. But October has been a dramatic month for Tesla. In the absence of having the data for the sum of all the European markets that ACEA, the employers’ association, will not present until the last week of November, we do know the results in the main European markets. Pay attention to the records it shows Electrek: Germany: 750 units and -53.5% compared to last year. Italy: 256 units and -47.1% compared to last year Netherlands: 645 units and -47.9% compared to last year Norway: 671 units and -50.2% compared to last year Portugal: 144 units and -58.7% compared to last year Austria: 97 units and -64.5% compared to last year Finland: 47 units and -67.6% compared to last year Sweden: 133 units and -88.7% compared to last year Denmark: 102 units and -86% compared to last year Spain? In Spain, Tesla has saved the furniture… and it has fallen by more than 30%. We say this because the company, between January and October 2025, has sold 7.58% more than last year. It is a clearly insufficient figure, taking into account that electric cars in Spain have increased by 86%, according to data from ANFAC. All in all, Tesla continues to lead the top two positions among the best-selling electric cars in our country. Of course, what was once an overwhelming leadership is now a much tighter battle. As of October, Tesla has sold 7,722 units of the Model 3 and, what is much more worrying for the company, 4,924 units of the Model Y. This is striking because the Kia EV3 It is already fighting head-to-head with the Tesla Model Y for being the second best-selling electric car of the year in Spain. He BYD Dolphin Surfwhich arrived in May 2025, is already in 2,796 units and is the fifth best-selling electric car in Spain. Between them, the Renault 5 but it has been adding units all year. BYD’s small electric car has sold 846 units this past month. That’s 791 more units than the Tesla Model 3 has registered. The first month. And Tesla has only added 55 units of the Model 3 in our country in October 2025. This is explained because the first months of each quarter (January-April-July-October) tend to be especially bad. The bulk of units of cars arriving from China, such as the Tesla Model 3, arrive and are accumulated to be sold in the last month of each quarter. The problematic thing for Tesla is that the registration figures are dismal even in that famous first month of the quarter. In Spain, the Tesla Model Y that dominated with an iron fist was the seventh best-selling car in October. And in just BYD sold more units of the Dolphin Surf in Spain than all the Teslas sold in Germany, a market much larger and with greater penetration of the electric car. The last quarter. It remains to be seen if Tesla manages to recover some ground in the last quarter, if it sinks a little more or, at least, disguises the results. Because it seems impossible that it will be able to compensate for a drop that at the end of the first three quarters exceeds 30%. It must be taken into account that rivals are tightening and eating up market share. Not only do traditional rivals have more supply and more competitive prices than years ago, BYD has expanded its presence in numerous markets and, according to SCMPBetween January and September 2025, the Chinese company accumulated almost 25,000 units throughout Europe. It is five times more than those registered in the same period of the previous year. It is very likely that it will not be enough to surpass Tesla this year, but it is likely that it will be close.

The filtration of 16,000 million passwords would be the largest in history. If it weren’t because it’s a gigantic refrito

June 20, 2025 by usatoday24

A team of CYBERNEWS researchers He has discovered A large library with 16,000 million filtered passwords. That would be long the theft of credentials in history, but it has not been. That library is actually a compilation of 30 large sets of data already filtered in the past. Should I reassure us “just” that? Enough, but not quite. It is not a new massive theft of data. Cybernews researchers do not show their sources, but they point out that this is in essence a compilation of “supermassive data sets containing billions of credentials.” In those leaks – ancient, but it is not known how much – data appears that according to Cybernews come from Google, Facebook or Apple users. Again, without offering evidence of it. They explain that none of these data sets had been discovered before, except for one with 184 million credentials that They mentioned in Wired At the end of May. But it is still dangerous. The problem of a compilation like this is that it can serve as a great starting point for all types of cyber attacks. It is very likely that in that large database there will be a significant amount of duplicate credentials. No one has stolen data from Google, Facebook or Apple (recently). Although media such as cybernews or forbes talk that there are credentials of these platforms, again if any will be belonging to old data theft – which Of course Yeah There has been-. There have been no robberies (much less massive) of credentials in these companies recently, and if there were them, they should have made a communication responsible for the incidents – in the US the US is used FORM 8-K OF THE SEC– They can affect their businesses. Should I be worried? Relatively. It must be aware that these data theft give access to cybercriminals to millions of credentials (user and password) in all types of services, and they can gain access to our accounts in those services thanks to them and then attack them or use them as the basis of other attacks. But this is true every day, not only when a new security filtration appears. Have Ien Pwned is a useful service that allows us to enter an email address to check it with the databases of previous data theft. A curiosity here: the number of accounts hacked on this platform is almost 15,000 million, very similar to the one indicated in Cybernews. Check if you have hacked you. There has been a simple way to check if our email and password has leaked in any of these data theft. THE SERVICE HAVE I BEEN PWNED allows us Do it quicklyand here we have discovered something interesting: the database with which this platform works has almost 15,000 million accounts hacked in its registry. Almost the same number they are talking about in Cybernews, as if their great library was in essence the same one that has this service created by Troy Hunt cybersecurity expert. And acts accordingly. When introducing your email, services may appear in which your account may have been compromised. What you should do in case this happens is to change your password as soon as possible in those services, and, if possible, strengthen the security of that password. There are several methods to do so: you can create a strong passworduse a Password manageruse the two -step authentication “Specially recommended,” or even make the leap to the passkeys If the service allows it. Be careful out there. Those measures that we talk about should not only be applied if we realize that something has happened, but before it happens. It is better to prevent than healing, and it is worth reviewing the safety of our accounts on the Internet, especially the most sensitive. The mail (Gmail, for example) is especially delicate, since it is usually used as a password rescue method in many other services. It is a good idea here to go to the tools that allow verifying the security status of our accounts to reinforce it if possible. Google, for example, Maintain a control panel which we can access at all times to configure what is necessary and Avoid scares after.
