En ocasión de la inauguración del Centro Leverhulme para el Futuro de la Inteligencia en la Universidad de Harvard, el astrofísico Stephen Hawking resumió sus preocupaciones en la siguiente frase: "El surgimiento de una poderosa inteligencia artificial será lo mejor o lo peor que le haya pasado a la humanidad, todavía no lo sabemos". En esta frase radica el modo en que podemos aproximarnos a la Inteligencia Artificial: abrirnos paso en un camino que se encuentra entre el entusiasmo y la ca...

He calls himself "el presidente": he´s not president of a country, but of an attitude and a mentality. And he kind of built a whole empire based on that: Barstool Sports. Shameless, funny, ridiculous, true to himself, pizza lover, politically incorrect and willing to take chances: that´s how Portnoy could be described. After graduating from College he materialized his love for sports and gambling in a weekly black and white newspaper delivered in the Boston Metropolitan Area. How did he co...

5G is a large scale leap, a new paradigm, a revolution. Everything from the washing machine to baby diapers will be connected to the Internet, and everyone on the planet will have instant access to each other and to everything. Each one of our interactions will remain as an indelible mark. But for this to happen, a new infrastructure with a much denser network is required. 5G uses high-frequency millimeter-waves that allow a huge amount of data to be processed with minimal latency, but sin...

At the inauguration of the Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence at Harvard University, physicist Stephen Hawking summarized his concerns in the following sentence: "The rise of powerful AI will be either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity. We do not yet know which". This could be an interesting way to approach artificial intelligence: navigating a path between enthusiasm and caution, between wonder and terror.

Releasing tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to mitigate the impact of the sun, transforming carbon dioxide into mineral rock and burying it or altering ocean currents are some of the "solutions", both drastic and dangerous, proposed by geoengineering. The narrative on climate change could be a pretext for the millionaire financing of a series of initiatives promoted many times by the same actors that caused the problem in the first place.

We are exposed to multiple electromagnetic fields (EMFs): low-frequency fields from power lines and electrical and electronic equipment, and radio-frequency radiation from wireless devices such as mobile phones and wireless Internet antennas. We don´t seem to feel them, but they´re all around us, and they even interact with our own electromagnetic fields. Potential health risks deserve to be investigated and reported on the eve of what promises to transform the planet thanks to a new parad...

The food paradigm with which humanity entered the 21st century is no longer viable. Not the miles that food travels, not food waste, not health scourges such as obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disorders, caused directly by food and that are related to 70% of deaths in the world. It is not just about replacing animal-based foods, or about environmental pollution: it´s about the possibility of changing the game rules in the world through accessible nutritious food, a democratization (and...

We could say that NFTs (non-fungible tokens) succeed because of two human needs put together: generating money and owning goods. Algorithms and the power of computers made it possible: from digitization, replication and infinite reproduction, they extracted a code that allows giving "uniqueness" to something that by nature does not have it. Find out what NFTs are, how they promote the use of cryptocurrencies, and how the accelerating pace of economic digitization will continue thanks to bl...

Is it possible that vaccines contain graphene oxide? It´s possible. Could vaccines contain graphene oxide? Yes, they could. Can this be used to control people through 5G? There is no evidence to support this. It is true that there is research that indicates that graphene oxide generates blood clotting, that there are developments on graphene sensors to read low-frequency neural waves, that nanotechnology allows a new generation of brain implants based on graphene oxide, and that there are ...

During 2020 the stock market was a "kangaroo market", with vertiginous and totally unexpected ups and downs. In a high volatility and liquidity context, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of retail investors, who started trading small amounts of money through zero-commission apps. Is this a new financial bubble about to burst? What role do apps like Robinhood, influencers like David Portnoy, and government stimulus checks have in this whole story? The answer is complex, but ...

Investing doesn't seem like a type of gambling, but lately some traders have been trading like compulsive gamblers. Certain traders suffer from family and social difficulties; others even have problems with the law when they resort to criminal activities to continue financing their transactions. Trading has not yet been classified as a gambling disorder, but in many cases it shares crucial similarities with gambling. A few years ago, the New Jersey Council on Compulsive Gambling stated abo...

The web was never really needed to commit crime. Perhaps the web, like a scalpel, may be used to save a life or to end it. There was a time when just being aware of the existence of the Deep Web was limited to few people. That made it more likely to be used with illegal intentions. The branch dedicated to illegal activity was named the Darknet, and it was just a small part of the Deep Web anyways. Now we know that things have changed, and those who are approaching the Deep Web concept for ...
