The migration crisis in Ceuta at the end of July, which shows no sign of ending, has significantly impacted the electoral expectations of the main parties competing in a general election, according to the September barometer from the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) released this Monday, the first since the massive entry of immigrants into the autonomous city.
The top official of China’s intelligence services has issued one of Beijing’s most detailed warnings to date about artificial intelligence, pointing out that the rapid advances of this technology could threaten political stability and critical infrastructures.
Calls to halt the advance of artificial intelligence from within the sector itself due to fears that AI could end humanity and OpenAI’s decision – owner of ChatGPT – to postpone its IPO are resulting in stock market declines in the sector this Monday. Technology companies in Europe, the U.S., and Asia are heading for a day of trading in the red, from SoftBank to Nvidia, including ASML, amid fears of a slowdown in business for the main players and their suppliers.
Sam Altman has not stopped expressing his concern about the evolution of AI in the last 48 hours, since a former Anthropic engineer voiced his alarm that this technology could end Humanity. One day after explaining that it would not be appropriate for his company, OpenAI, to go public now, the company’s CEO admitted on his X account serious safety concerns about artificial intelligence.
In recent days, we have witnessed a proliferation of calls to control the pace of development of artificial intelligence (AI) models. At the same time, large companies are pressuring, especially the U.S. Administration and the EU, to maintain the greatest…
In the early hours of September 1st, the fatal stabbing of Carles Vilajosana shocked the city of Manresa. The improvement in police statistics over the past few months was shattered because of this tragic event. Marc Aloy (ERC), the mayor of the capital of Bages, does not agree with the image projected in these last two weeks of Manresa as an unsafe city, although he does not at all hide the seriousness of a problem whose solution requires the involvement of other institutions.
My teachers used to say that a single day in Moncloa is a human week. Imagine the first seven prime ministers of democracy: Adolfo Suárez, who was in office for 1,697 actual days (4 years, 7 months, and 23 days), equivalent to 32 and a half years of work behind him dismantling…
In the neighborhoods on the outskirts of Ceuta, some unsettling movements on wheels catch the eye. Besides the immigrants wandering back and forth and the military all-terrain vehicles patrolling the avenues, many Piaggio Porters – compact classic vans for small deliveries – rush through the narrow and steep streets. They look like taxis, going back and forth. On Saturday at noon, they lined up in a row at a roundabout in Loma Colmenar to access some construction material warehouses. They arrive, load – cement, mortar, plasterboard, gypsum boards, or bricks – and leave. And they come back for more.
Journalists tell me that they continue reporting from Ceuta a month and a half later and that the situation in the city is still “tremendous” and that they end every day “with their stomachs upset.” They tell me that it is true that every day there are fewer people “lying” in the streets, because…
The decision of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to declassify communications between police forces, intelligence agencies, and institutions with warnings about the Ceuta crisis has opened several scenarios, some more predictable than others. For now, the Executive has exposed the activity of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), causing great discomfort within the secret services. It has led to the first resignation, that of the chief of staff of the Government delegate in the autonomous city, and has prompted a criminal investigation into the massive entry of between 70,000 and 80,000 people from Morocco between July 30 and 31.
