hacke an artist website and threaten to use their works to train AI

by

The attacks with ransomware They have brought to people and companies around the world. It consists of a type of malware that figure our data and makes the use of the equipment impossible until we pay the rescue that the attackers ask for. Is What happened to Telefónica in 2017 And what has just happened to Artists & Clients, a website on which artists can find customers to sell their works. The difference is that hackers are threatening to use all their artistic work at AI. The hacking. They tell it in 404Media. The hacking happened on August 30, when the Message from the attackers which said: “This website has been pirated by Lunalock. All its data, including email addresses and passwords of the user accounts, have been stolen and encrypted.” Shortly after the web fell and while I write these lines It continues to be inaccessible. At the moment those responsible for the web have not issued any statement and in their social networks there is no communication, but some artists who are on the platform They have expressed their concern in Reddit. Redoubled the threat. The message of hackers is a standard text in this type of attacks: if the payment was not made, all the data would be filtered, including the source code and the personal information of the users. The striking was at the end of his message: “We will send all the illustrations to artificial intelligence companies so that they are added to the training data sets.” In statements to 404Media, a researcher at the Flare cybersecurity company says that “it is the first time I see an attack using AI models as part of her extortion tactics.” AI and art. It has been a matter of debate since the arrival of the first models of image generation, who were trained with hundreds of works by real artists without permission. Some artists have sued the companies of AIothers their works began to “poison” to go crazy to AI and have even been created Applications to prevent a work from being training at AI. It is a delicate issue for artists and hackers have used it to raise the tone of their threat. AI to do evil. Lunalock’s case is curious because they do not use AI directly, but use it as another argument to its threat. However, there are cybercriminals who are using AI to make their most effective attacksfor example to program more easily or automate technical operations. A few days ago, Wired echoed an ESET report where they detailed how the attackers were using generative to execute ransomware attacks.

What is and how your “practice” option works to help you learn languages

by

Let’s explain what it is The new function Practice of Google translatorwith which the app aims to compete with Duolingo and other tools to learn languages. It is a new evolutionary leap fed by artificial intelligence, and that gradually comes to some users. We are going to start the article explaining what this tool is to know its concept. Then, we will explain in a simple way the basis of its operation. What is the way Practice of Google Translate The Google translator is an application with several functions. The main one is that you write one thing and the app translates it into other languages, but over time functions have been added such as translating the text of an image or translating a conversation between two different languages. Practice is a new function that is beginning to arrive To the application. It is a button inside the app, just like using the camera or entering the conversation mode. And its goal is to help you practice a language. This option allows you practice a language with real language and daily usejust what you would need to establish a conversation with someone. Of course, the application will not teach you from scratch, and you will need to have a basic knowledge of the language to start perfecting it. Although in the future they will add the possibility of learning from scratch. The Google translator It will generate personalized lessons with artificial intelligence depending on the needs you have. Come on, you tell him what context you want to learn, and lessons will be shown to practice the language. The function of Practice It has not yet reached all usersand will do it little by little for the next few weeks and months. The normal thing is that you do not have it yet, so if you are looking forward to trying it you will have to look every time the app is updated. How to use this mode The first thing you have to do is enter the application of the Google translator, and configure it to translate texts of the language you want. For example, if you want to practice English, configure the app to be the language from which you make a Spanish translation. Now, click on the button Practice that will appear below at all if you have the function activated. This will take you to a screen where You must say what motivates you to learn The language. Here, you will have to say What is your goalif you want to learn the language to travel, to work or chat with friends or family. This will cause lessons to adapt to this context. After writing this, click on Start practice. This will take you to a screen where you will see Several cards with recommended situations optionseach of them with a different practice. It can be a practice of confirming keys of a reservation, or another situation based on the needs you have set up before. Choose the card you want and click on the button Practice. When you press on the practice button on one of the options, you will go to the lesson. Here, you will see that Each lesson has several exercisesbeing able to listen and understanding what you tell you or saying something with your voice in a conversation. If you get stuck, the app will offer clues when you don’t know what to say. In the exercises we talk, the Google translator will recognize what you say, even if you pronounce things slowly or clumsy. There are also other exercises from other styles, such as Recognize words in phrases you hearand much more. And if there is something that does not convince you, you can generate the exercises again.

If you have an old PC, there is an effective alternative against the requirements of Windows 11 and the Bloatware: Flyoobe works

by

With the End of Windows 10 support Scheduled for October 2025, many users face the dilemma of Buy a new team or search for alternatives to install Windows 11 in hardware that officially does not meet the requirements. Flyoobeborn from the evolution of the excellent Flyby11is presented as an integral solution to overcome Microsoft restrictions while also adds mechanisms so that the user has greater control over the operating system. A project that covers a need. Microsoft demands specific requirements for Windows 11, including TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and compatible processors. This He has left millions of computers that, although functional, they will not be able to update from Windows 10 officially once The support is for. Given this situation, tools such as Flyobe allow the most of many of the officially incompatible teams with Windows 11. How magic works. Flyobe’s secret lies in using the Windows Server installation variant, which automatically omits the TPM, Secure Boot and CPU compatibility checks. The final result remains standard Windows 11, but without the barriers imposed by Microsoft. The tool automatically manages the discharge and assembly of the necessary ISO, simplifying the entire process. More than a simple bypass method. While the classic Flyby11 version was limited to raffling hardware restrictions, Flyobe goes several steps beyond. Its main added is the complete control over the OOBE (OUT-OF-BOX Experience), that first experience you have when you turn on a new computer. Instead of accepting Microsoft’s default values, you can customize from the predetermined browser to the elimination of unwanted applications from the first start. The latest updates improve experience. Version 1.6 From the tool, which until the moment of writing this article is the most recent, incorporates a renewed interface with four clearly defined main options. It especially highlights its improved Bloatware elimination tool, which more effectively detects and eliminates the unnecessary applications that Windows 11 installs by default. It also includes an expanded application installer and text search to find specific options quickly. It is not the only alternative. Although there are alternatives such as RUFUS To create modified installation media, Flyobe turns towards a more complete option for those users who want a whole and very useful one. We also have other outstanding options such as Tiny11born with the premise of offering a lighter and lighter windows 11 for all types of devices. Flyobe brings together in the same application both what made Flyby11 shine to eliminate the requirements of Windows 11, and its new options to eliminate the system from the system and many other very interesting options. What you should take into account. Microsoft believes that non -compatible devices “have no guarantee of receiving updates.” Although in practice the majority continue to receive monthly security patches, from Flyoobe’s own page in Github warns The risk of future updates failing or Microsoft blocks access. In addition, if your processor is not compatible with The popcnt requirement or the SSE 4.2 instructions set, it will be impossible to install Windows 11, since they are essential instructions for the operation of Windows 11 24h2 and future updates. This set of instructions was already admitted by relatively old processors today, as the first generation of Intel Core i7 (2008).

This is how your new writing assistance option works

by

WhatsApp He has just announced A new writing tool based on artificial intelligence that allows to improve the tone and clarity of messages. An aid that provides for those moments in which we find it difficult to express what we mean. According to the company, it does it without compromising privacy. And is that the function uses technology ‘Private processing‘(Private Processing) of Meta, which promises to process the suggestions anonymously and safely. Several ways to find the tone. They have called it ‘Writing Help’. Message summaries In June. The tool offers several different styles, being able to give the message a more professional, fun tone, or reformulate and correct the text automatically. In this way, users can adapt their messages according to the context of the conversation. Image: WhatsApp How technology works. The function is activated by a pencil icon that appears in the text field when a message is written, both in individual and group conversations. Once activated, the AI ​​analyzes the text and offers alternative versions according to the selected style. The whole process is executed under the private processing technology, which according to the company figure the requests and uses anonymous routing to ensure that no message can be linked to the identity of the user who sends it. The privacy factor. Unlike other AI attendees who need an Internet connection to send information to external servers and then offer us an answer or a result, Private Processing keeps messages privately. According to Explain WhatsApp, “Neither goal nor WhatsApp can ever read your message or suggested rewritures.” Technology works similar to Private Cloud Compute of Appleprocessing the information at home without storing it on the company’s servers. External validation and transparency. Goal claims to have collaborated with security experts to validate the architecture of Private Processing. Independent signatures NCC Group and Trail of Bits They have published their reports, verifying system safety. Limitations and future expansion. Writing Help is gradually deploying in English for users in the United States and several more countries, with expansion plans to other languages ​​and regions during this year. The function is deactivated by default and requires that users enable private processing in the application configuration before being able to access it. For everything. This new function competes directly with tools such as those offered by Apple on your serial iPhonebut with the advantage of being integrated directly in the messaging application. For middle -end Android devices, which do not usually include native writing assistants, it is a great option, since it does not have to download any additional application to access this type of functions.

What is it, how it works and how to use it

by

Let’s explain What is and how the study mode works of Chatgpta new modality of this popular artificial intelligence. It is an adapted way for students to learn while asking AI instead of directly receive the answers. We are going to start explaining what exactly is this way so that you understand what it is about and how it differs. Then we will tell you how it works and What can you do with himand we will end up explaining how you can use it. What is Chatgpt’s study mode Chatgpt’s study mode is a modality that you can activate when asking artificial intelligence. When you do, instead of giving the answer directly, Chatgpt will help you step by step To find the solution to the question. Come on, that AI adapts to structured learning, knowing that if you simply give you the answer you will not learn. Instead, organize the information just as a teacher would do, and will guide you for the necessary steps to find the answer. In this way, Chatgpt has this way to help you understand complex topics step by step, already review the key concepts of a subject. It also allows you to practice with examples and exam questions, as well as summarize and schematize long content to be easier to understand. This mode is available in chatgpt free and in the payment version. Obviously, in each of them the limitations of each of the modes will be giving up, so if you use the payment version it will be more advanced and you will have better answers. How this mode works and what can you do This mode works by combining the usual chatgpt capabilities with a different way of presenting information. Come on, that it simply comes pre-provoked with a didactic context, so that you know that whenever you ask you a question, the answers have to show them with a different structure, oriented to learning. This mode will be able to make clear summaries of denser texts to be easy to understand. Also can make schemes and lists Organizing the important points of a topic, and you can make explanations adapted to your level. If you do not understand something, you can also ask you to explain it in depth or easier, and you will. When asked about concrete issues, this mode of study will seek in your data and on the Internet, collect the information and show it to you. But You can also upload your own contentas a lesson in PDF, and then ask for help with it in different ways. In addition to presenting information differently, this mode has other advantages, such as Remember the things you failand by being able to read from images you will also be able to know what it puts on your manuscript notes to use this information. Over time and as you use it, it will adapt to your level and your preferences, and even the way you learn, all with a friendly tone and close examples. In the end, the idea is that if you are doing your homework I can help you get out of traffic jams and to solve doubts, all without simply giving the answer and that you do not have to put anything on your part. How to use this mode To use this mode, you have to start a new chat with chatgpt. Once you do it, click on the + button to the left of the writing field, and that serves to add elements. Here, Choose the option of Study and learn That will appear. When you do this, you will have the mode of learning activated, and you will only have to ask the question you want. Remember that with this mode activated You can also upload files As PDFs with lessons or photos, including those that are from your notes. Now, you can ask many types of questions. For example, you can use some Prompt As “teach me the difference between precision and accuracy, beginner level” or “put my knowledge of the periodic table with didactic cards,” for example. Also You can ask to help you schematize A writing, to prepare a test based on a document that goes up, or that puts different types of mathematical problems. In many cases, Before launching to do the exercise It will ask you a few questions to contextualize the operation and adapt it exactly to what you are looking for.

It turns out that in the US people pay more for not having a taxi driver. The added value of going silently offers and works

by

According to The data Offered by OBI, an app that offers real -time prices on the different taxi and transport services in the United States, Waymo’s autonomous cars They cost average $ 20.43 by journey compared to 14.44 of Lyft and the 15.58 of Uber. Even so, users are willing to pay the premium for traveling without a driver. The conquest of the robotaxis. The analysis of the platform, based on almost 90,000 real trips in San Francisco, reveals that Waymo It charges up to $ 11 more than its competitors at peak hours. However, the demand does not stop growing: the company already makes 250,000 payment trips a week in its first four cities where the service is available. Everything indicates that users value both the experience without driver than are willing to pay a good amount of more for her. Waymo weekly paths in California. Image: Nat Bullard Data Different pricing model. Waymo operates with a more basic system of pure supply and demand, while Uber and Lyft have refined their algorithms for more than a decade. Robotaxis have a fixed fleet that grows slowly, which generates greater variability in prices. Short paths They are especially expensive: Less than 1.4 kilometers can cost about $ 26 per kilometer, between 31% and 41% more than competition. A strategy that works. Surveys show that 70% of those who have tried Waymo prefer to travel without driver. Almost 40% are willing to pay the same price or more, and 16% would agree to pay up to 10 extra dollars per trip. The key is in that “personal bubble” offered by the autonomous car, where the client can travel comfortably without human interaction. And this attracts many. Safety first. Despite the enthusiasm, 74% of respondents Consider Security His greatest concern about robotaxis. About 70% believe there should be some kind of remote human supervision during the paths, something that It is already practiced usually in the sector. Lower deployment and expansion times. Waymo Atlanta has just entered and soon it will arrive in Miami and Washington DC. It is collecting data in Las Vegas, Dallas, San Antonio, Nashville and New Orleans. The entry process in new markets is accelerating: now it takes only between one and two years since mapping vans arrive until customers can get on board one of these vehicles. And in Europe we are also at all. And from 2026, we will begin to see the first circular robotaxis through the United Kingdom and Germany. The surprise is that It will be Lyft, in collaboration with Baiduthose that seem to take the lead to this side of the puddle.

The good news is that there is a material that works well on the walls of fusion reactors. The bad: it is lithium

by

We know how the sun works. Another thing is to imitate it. If we got Build a nuclear fusion reactorwe would have clean, safe and practically unlimited energy. But doing so involves incredibly complex engineering challenges. The wall problem. One of the more colossal challenges In nuclear fusion is to build a container that supports a hottest plasma than the sun’s core. For years, scientists have been experiencing with various materials, from graphite to high resistance metals such as tungsten. A recent researchthe result of an international collaboration of nine institutions, confirms that we have a star candidate that works spectacularly well for the wall of the reactors: lithium. A self -refrasinal shield. To understand why lithium is so attractive, you must first visualize the hell that is unleashed inside a tokamak, the most common fusion reactor design. A hydrogen gas, mainly its deuterium and tritium isotopesmore than 100 million degrees Celsius is heated to become a plasma. Magnetic fields potently confine it so that it does not touch anything, but it is impossible to prevent some particles from escaping and violently shocking against the interior walls of the reactor. This is where lithium shines because it can be used in a liquid state. Instead of eroding and degrading with each impact, it flows and heals himself instantly. This self -referential liquid layer would protect the solid components behind. Moreover, if the reactor walls are hot enough, the lithium can form a steam shield that absorbs much of the impact before it reaches the solid surface. Goodbye to graphite? Research shows that lithium is not only a passive shield, but an active plasma conditioner. Instead of reflecting the fuel particles that escape, cooling the edge of plasma and destabilizing it, lithium absorbs them. This helps keep heat where it has to be and, therefore, to stabilize the fusion reaction and improve the confinement of plasma. According to researchers, lithium is a promising candidate to replace graphite, which has a much higher erosion rate. Applied in tungsten walls, it allows to operate the fusion to greater power densities, opening the door to more compact and efficient reactors. Two ways to apply it. The researchers tested, on the one hand, to cover the lithium walls before lighting the plasma and, on the other, to inject lithium powder directly on the plasma during the reactor operation. The injection was much more effective when creating a uniform and stable temperature profile, one of the sacred conditions for commercial fusion. All tests were carried out at the Tokamak Diii-D of General Atomics with financing from the United States Department of Energy. The authors of the study, published in the Materials and Energy nuclear magazine, are researchers of the Princeton plasma physics laboratory and his collaborators. Bad news. In addition to exercising even more pressure on the already tensioning lithium market (Although it does not scarce, it is not extracted to the rhythm that grows its demand), there is a more alarming problem. The lithium is too much Well at work. Catch the tritium with a very high efficiency, preventing it from returning to plasma to be used as fuel. If the tritio is stuck to the walls, the reactor ends up running out of fuel and the cycle breaks. The accumulation of radioactive tritium in cold areas and difficult to access the reactor also greatly complicates its maintenance and is a safety risk. To top it off, the retention is more significant if the lithium is injected with the reactor in operation, the most efficient application method. A possible solution. The key is that these experiments were carried out with lithium in solid state, at temperatures below its melting point. In a real reactor, with liquid lithium, The solution could be a “dialysis” system: Instead of bathing the walls by a lithium river and leaving it there, it would be continuously extracted from the reactor, taken to a processing plant to separate the tritium trapped, and pumped back, clean and ready to continue working. The reactor design would have to adapt to this new proposal. It would be necessary to avoid the cold areas where lithium and tritio could accumulate and stay stagnant, keep the walls at higher and more controlled temperatures, and include the circuit to extract, processes and continuously introduce lithium. A material that solves multiple problems in our mission of simulating the sun, but in return introduces new and also complex.

How it works and how to avoid this method to steal mobiles in summer

by

Summer arrives, and with the new baking of methods that criminals use to steal. In this case Let’s explain the trap of the false tourist and google mapsa type of thymus that is being seen in cities like Benidorm, and for which it is convenient to be prevented.

How this scam The way of proceeding of thieves is so simple that it is difficult not to fall into the trap. To begin with, a stranger for the street getting through a disoriented tourist That is looking for your hotel. Here, it is normal for us to stop helping. This supposed tourist Ask you to look for your hotel on Google Maps in order to know how to get to him. Then you take out the mobile, unlock it and start looking on Google Maps. That is, just when you unlock the mobile the thief takes ittake it from the hands of a pull and run with the device. The biggest problem of this trick is that The thief takes your mobile already unlockedso you can access your photos, your conversations at WhatsApp or your documents. You can access sensitive information and even impersonate you in WhatsApp chats to ask for things or money from your acquaintances. How to avoid falling into the trap Unfortunately, these types of traps and tricks to steal mobile They are difficult to detectsince they play with our mood to encourage others. The most important thing is be aware that you don’t know the other person and take a series of precautions. The first thing is try verbally Any unknown person instead of quickly getting the mobile. And if there is no choice but to do it, then have well subject the device While you proceed. Pay attention to the movements of the other person, and always try to have two hands on him and have him grabbed hard. Do not trust yourself. There are also A series of precautions to take when you are travelingsince in a tourist city there are more possibilities that there are attempts to rob. For example, Activate additional block for sensitive appsputting an extra layer as a trace block, recognition or even Pin to apps such as the bank, your photos or whatsapp and social networks. Come on, in addition to screen blocking, you activate a specific blockade for apps, something you can do on both Android and iOS. It can be annoying when using them daily, but will save your data if someone steals your mobile already unlocked. Have active mobile location systems to know where you are stealing, and try the mechanisms to block it remote or turn it off so that thieves cannot use it. For this, access from another device will be needed, so you have the family systems configured to be able to block it from the mobile of a spouse or family.

It is more efficient to learn how your brain works

by

The ability to be productive is not only in the ability to make the most The available time. You can also improve that capacity by understanding some cognitive biases and “psychological triggers” of the brain to use them in your favor. Such and as they point out in Fast Companyyou don’t need more hours in the day. You need to adapt your work to match the cognitive peaks of your brain and “deceive it” to Maintain motivation. These are some cognitive strategies to be more productive with less effort. 1- tune in with your ultradian rhythms Unlike Circadian cycleswhich last 24 hours delimiting rest periods, Ultradian cycles They are much shorter and repeated every 90 or 120 minutes. The brain is Designed to work in cycles of high concentration limited to those periods between 90 and 120 minutesfollowed by small laps of lower energy. Trying to give the maximum beyond those cycles is a waste of time. The brain needs to rest To recover energy. Ignoring that rest makes mental fatigue appears, worsens concentration and, with it, stress increases because tasks are extended more than expected. The key is in Organize the day in blocks of deep work 90 minutes with pauses of 10 to 20 minutes between them. Implementing three of these daily cycles usually translates into greater productivity and better quality of the tasks performed. 2- The most difficult first Would you run an Ironman just after a marathon had run? Not to be That you are Verdelissthe most likely answer is not, because the first test has already burned all your energy. In this case, the brain works in a similar way. The prefrontal cortexresponsible for complex executive functions, shows its greatest efficiency in the early hours of the day when we have rested well. The key is think about your brain as a battery. Which is 100% at the beginning of the day, but little by little it reduces its load (cognitive capacity). Use that energy strategically. Take advantage of the first two or three hours of your day to address demanding or very creative tasks that will consume “more energy” or that require greater concentration. Administrative, routine tasks or those meetings in which relevant decisions should not be made, they can wait for later. Doing it backwards would be to waste that valuable energy throughout the day, to get exhausted to the marathon. 3- Sorry, the brain is not multitasking Although everything points to doing several things at once is the best way to advance them all, scientific research They have demonstrated That is not so. In fact, trying to do several things at once is even 40% less efficient What to do them one after another. According to a Published study in Nature By scientists at Stanford University, he points out that those who perform multiple tasks at the same time, often They get worse results in tests of attention, memory and alternation of tasks that those who perform only. Therefore, instead of trying to move all the tasks at the same time, it is convenient to make groups of similar short tasks and reserve blocks of time to complete them (one after another). Thus, small distractions are reduced that interrupt your concentration With the excuse of “it’s just a minute.” 4- Concentration triggers Although sometimes it costs us to recognize it, the human being It is an animal of customsand our brain is able to detect signals from the environment to prepare to face certain tasks. An example is the “cognitive triggers” described by James Clear, author of the best seller ‘Atomic habits‘, as a method To create habits. To give you an example, the way back to your house at the end of the work prepares your brain to enter a “rest mode”, in the same way as preparing a bath with candles and aromatic salts predisposes to entering a mental state of relaxation. Create fixed signals or rituals to immerse yourself in deep work, such as order the table Before starting it, putting certain music or systematically opening your task app, can help you make the brain entered the right state. The research From the University of California they demonstrated that these actions, apparently small and symbolic, act as psychological switches that tell your brain: “It’s time to concentrate.” The repetition of these habits reinforces the approach and reduces the adaptation time that the brain needs between one task and another. 5- The brain is not to remember A joint study of the University of Waterloo (Canada) and the University College London, says the Human working memoryIt can only handle between four and seven simultaneous elements. The research demonstrates that by downloading information, either In writing in a notebook or digitally In an apptension in the cognitive system is reduced and bandwidth for problem solving and creativity is released. To the free the brain from the burden of having to remember thingsthe Zeigarnik effect is avoided, a phenomenon that puts a name to the brain obsession to end The tasks that you have already started. If you have to remember, for example, that you have to go looking for a laundry jacket, your brain will be constantly recovering that information until you complete it, interrupting your concentration in that process. 6- A carrot for your brain Maintain motivationin addition to physical factors, it is also very conditioned by the brain. Again, our animal instinct responds to positive stimuli. As an ass that needs to follow an unattainable carrot to continue walking. The human brain reacts to immediate and visible rewardsso marking an objective as completed activates the Dopamine system that provides well -being and happiness. Taking that into account, Do not plan your tasks as long -term achievementsbut as small frequent achievements that activate the brain reward system. These frequent awards reinforce behavior and generate the impulse to continue with the project and avoid falling into boredom and loss of motivation.

There is a youtuber broadcasting the Soterration works of the A-5 in Madrid. And there are thousands of people hooked

by

The phenomenon popularly known as “Retirees looking at the works“A recurring image in urban environments has been for decades. But new technologies have redefined that passer -by: a YouTube channel that broadcasts comments the advances of the megaobras of the A5 is the last incarnation of a phenomenon as old as the same cities. And this is its most recent plasma. Look at YouTube works. Travel is my thing It is the name this channel that contemplates in detail works, especially from Madrid. It started like A travel channelbut it has ended up focusing on different works in the capital: MADRINGthe Puerta del Sol awningsthe stations of Atocha and Chamartínthe new Castellana Park… And of course, that controversial mastodon and that is turning the south of the capital into chaos, which is the underground of the A-5, which has already dedicated A fortnight of videos. Many of this theme are around 25,000 views and already have almost 20,000 subscribers. A-5, in detail. It is not strange that the account focuses on the works of SOTERRATION OF THE A-5that affect Neighborhoods like Lucero, Aluche, Camp and Casa de Campo: The works began in October last year but it is from January when they have started Generate problems. Its objectives, among other things, are to reduce surface traffic by 90%, improve air quality and reduce noise. However, the problems follow each other as they are dodged The original planning: The capacity has been reduced by half in a three -kilometer stretch, generating large bottles, and specific closures and deviations are being enabled, which is giving rise to tremendous chaos. Why interests. All this gives as fruit A horrible summer to move around Madrid Due to the problems that are also generating the works by Metro, Cercanías, Metro Light and some of the aforementioned above. It is a problem that literally affects millions of people who move daily for the capital by public or private transport, so it has every sense of the world that they want to be informed. Accounts such as traveling is mine provide valuable information beyond official sources. The cliché of the retirees. Beyond the service that these accounts give, the truth is that the topic of retirees looking at works, thanks to accounts like this, acquires a renewed sense, but without limitations of age or free time. We are the digital version of That passerby that in his day Manuel Delgado defined as “he Flâuneur contemporary“. Only now we have Short videos with specific reflections On the layout or incidents of a work, or live broadcasts that document minute large projects such as eThis follows the Camp Nou reconditioning or this detailed chronicle of Those of the Romareda. Children of #Pormishuevism. Those who want warm up with the nth jam of the A-5 They have their content, and the fans of superconstructions, too. It is a trend of digital content consumption that reflects interest, not lacking criticism, for urban transformation, and that derives from legendary accounts in networks such as Broken nation. In more recent times, he has gained great follow -up Erik Harley coining the term #PorMishuevismo, with which he invented a false artistic movement to denounce speculative architecture, urban corruption and waste in public and private projects. The success of satirical or openly critical accounts with urban transformation is what has generated interest in the excesses in construction in large cities. Now, with one more eye put in the detailed analysis of the evolution of the works, this interest is exploited as traveling is mine. Header | Travel is my thing
