Creating a planetary oversight of artificial intelligence to contain its apocalyptic potential should be the priority of any electoral program. There is no other. John Carlin invited in his article yesterday to pressure politicians to focus on the threat…
Two weeks ago, the journal Science published a paper by researchers from Stanford University (Samuel H. King et al.) who used two genomic language AI models, Evo 1 and Evo 2, to create the complete genomes of 16 new viruses capable of successfully attacking the bacterium Escherichia coli C. Beyond what this scientific achievement entails, the fact that an artificial intelligence is capable of generating viruses that do not exist in nature raises new alarms. The authors created bacteriophage viruses – which do not attack animal cells – and applied strict safety measures, ensuring that their creation did not leave the laboratory. But the inevitability of Murphy’s law points out that if something can happen, it will eventually happen. Biosafety needs to prepare for this new technoscientific capability.
A group of 20 French intellectuals has promoted a manifesto addressed to Presidents Pedro Sánchez and Emmanuel Macron to request the release of Algerian journalist and opposition figure Ayoub Aïssiou, who was detained on July 25 at Barcelona airport due to a claim from his country investigating him for alleged forgery of public documents and money laundering. However, his defense denounces “political persecution” and the National Court will have to decide in the coming days whether to extradite him to Algeria.
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has requested the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to decree the lockdown in Ceuta due to “health risk” in the face of infectious diseases such as scabies or tuberculosis that have been detected after the massive entry of “more than 70,000 illegal migrants” at the end of July.
Spain is boosting its imports of used vehicles to meet a demand for second-hand cars that continues to grow. But not for relatively new vehicles, rather the oldest ones. In 2025, car imports increased by 32%, according to data from the consultancy MSI, reaching 137,122 units. Of these, 51,000 vehicles are over 10 years old. These purchases have grown by 46% compared to 2024. And in the first quarter of 2026, the trend is the same.
There is still a year left to witness what will be the “eclipse of the century.” On August 2, 2027, the phenomenon will be visible from practically all of Spain, but only in the south of Andalusia, Ceuta, and Melilla will the Moon completely cover the Sun, plunging the day into night. Still recovering from the eclipse of last August 12, reservations for houses, apartments, and rooms have already skyrocketed in provinces such as Cádiz, Málaga, Granada, and Almería. And, with them, the prices.
It is already breaking news, not so much for what it does, but for what is hinted to be happening behind closed doors.
Outside Latin America, where the U.S. is imposing its imperium in an update of the Monroe Doctrine, Donald Trump’s foreign policy is floundering, both in Europe and in Asia and the Middle East, his Achilles’ heel.
Almost with total certainty, the gloomy predictions about the end of the dollar’s reign will, once again, be disproved by reality. But until the U.S. finds a new monetary system that suits it, there is much suffering ahead. A way of the cross. The current…
Let’s imagine that a company is able to find out the moments of greatest vulnerability of teenagers. For example, when they feel insecure about a part of their body, whether one is worried about acne or another about that early cellulite… Let’s imagine that company…
