ChatGPT se cayó por exceso de uso de imágenes Ghibli, mientras Google liberó gratis a Gemini 2.5Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoEsta semana, ChatGPT se cayó durante varias horas porque miles de personas quisieron generar imágenes con estilo de Studio Ghibli. La tendencia se volvió viral y saturó los servidores de OpenAI. Al mismo tiempo, Google liberó su modelo Gemini 2.5 Pro de forma gratuita, aunque con límites de uso. Esta nueva versión promete razonar mejor, entender más contexto y escribir código con mayor precisión. Todo esto ocurrió mientras Instagram sumaba una función para adelantar reels, y WhatsApp se volvía la app por defecto en iPhone. ¿Hasta dónde va a llegar esta competencia entre plataformas para ofrecernos más y más funciones? La emoción creativa causó un pequeño apagón digital IAChatGPT ahora puede generar imágenes de forma nativa, sin depender de DALL·E. Esa novedad llamó la atención de miles de personas en redes sociales, que empezaron a subir sus fotos y pedir versiones al estilo de las películas de Studio Ghibli. El resultado fue tan viral que los servidores de OpenAI no dieron abasto. El domingo, 30 de marzo de 2025, Sam Altman, el CEO de OpenAI, escribió en su cuenta de X una advertencia: “tómenselo con calma con las imágenes por ahora”. A las pocas horas, ChatGPT dejó de funcionar. Los reportes de error se multiplicaron y la función de generación de imágenes fue desactivada por completo durante un rato, incluso para quienes pagan el plan Plus o Pro. El sistema estaba preparado para una buena cantidad de peticiones, pero no para lo que pasó. La idea de ver tu propia cara convertida en una escena animada tipo Ghibli fue demasiado tentadora. La gente usó ChatGPT como si fuera una fábrica de sueños. Y claro, el sistema colapsó. Hasta los que pagan por el servicio se quedaron sin acceso. Algunos se quejaron en X, otros se mudaron rápidamente a Grok, una inteligencia artificial de xAI, que también genera imágenes estilo anime. Esto encendió una conversación importante: ¿pueden estas plataformas soportar el uso masivo cuando algo se vuelve viral? Y más aún, ¿qué tan sostenibles son estas funciones visuales cuando requieren tantas GPU y energía para funcionar bien? OpenAI respondió rápido: limitó la generación de imágenes incluso para usuarios pagos y se enfocó en estabilizar el sistema. En paralelo, Google lanzó su modelo Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental. Este modelo tiene una diferencia clave: está diseñado para razonar antes de responder. Según la Universidad de Berkeley, Gemini 2.5 Pro es el mejor chatbot actualmente, con 18,8% de aciertos en el examen “Humanity's Last Exam”, un reto diseñado por expertos en múltiples áreas. ¿Y lo mejor? Ya está disponible gratis para todos, aunque con límites. Su ventana de contexto alcanza 1 millón de tokens, es decir, puede analizar textos de hasta 7.50.000 palabras. Ideal para tareas largas, complejas, o de investigación. Aunque no es perfecto, es un paso fuerte de Google para competir de tú a tú con ChatGPT. Esta semana también hubo noticias más pequeñas, pero que marcan tendencia. Instagram activó una opción para ver reels a doble velocidad: basta con mantener presionado el lado derecho o izquierdo de la pantalla. Esto llega directo desde TikTok. Por otro lado, WhatsApp, la app de Meta, ahora puede usarse como aplicación predeterminada para llamadas y mensajes en iPhones. Así, si decides que WhatsApp es tu favorita, el iPhone va a usarla automáticamente en lugar de FaceTime o la app de Mensajes. Además, el modelo Grok 3 de xAI se volvió popular por permitir generar imágenes sin tantas restricciones como ChatGPT. Grok fue una válvula de escape para quienes querían seguir con sus creaciones visuales mientras OpenAI resolvía el lío.Resumen final y recomendación (60 palabras)ChatGPT se cayó unas horas por el boom de imágenes estilo Ghibli. Mientras tanto, Google soltó su modelo más avanzado, Gemini 2.5 Pro, gratis y con razonamiento mejorado. Todo esto cambia la manera en que usamos IA día a día.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act was introduced in 2016 to protect consumers who had invested in residential real estate projects from malpractices by real estate developers.

The Chola dynasty of centuries-old saw the rise of popular and determined kings that consolidated lands in southern and eastern India, the Indian Ocean, and even as far as south-east Asia. Their influence was unparalleled at the time, with King Rajaraja Chola I setting up a political, social, cultural, and economic landscape that took the empire through almost a dozen centuries. But before Rajaraja Chola, there was an internal war for power and control -- and two of its central characters may have been -- Nandini, a mysterious woman that made it to the top of the Chola food chain, and Kundavai, who was the sister of Rajaraja Chola. History, legend, myth, and fiction make the stories around Nandini and Kundavai a bit blurry -- who were they and how did they rise to power? Did they even hold real power, during a time when being born male was paramount to all else? And more importantly… did they even exist? We bring on board guest Anirudh Kanisetti to help us navigate through the murky waters of Chola history. Anirudh is an Indian historian, author of 'Lords of the Deccan: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas', and host of 'Echoes of India: A History Podcast', right here on IVM Podcasts network.

Anirudh Kanisetti is the author of Lords of the Deccan. Holding a first-class honours degree from BITS Pilani and having previously worked at the Takshashila Institution, he is currently an Editor at the Museum of Arts and Photography. He has received grants from the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities and the India Foundation for the Arts, and his writings and work have been featured in The Hindu, The New Indian Express, LiveMint and ThePrint, among others. He hosts two critically acclaimed podcasts – Echoes of India and Yuddha. Book description: The history of the vast Indian subcontinent is usually told as a series of ephemeral moments when a large part of modern-day India was ruled by a single sovereign. There is an obsession with foreign invasions and the polities of the Gangetic plains, while the histories of the rest of the subcontinent have been reduced to little more than dry footnotes. Now, in his brilliant and critically acclaimed debut book, Anirudh Kanisetti shines a light into the darkness, bringing alive for the lay-reader the early medieval Deccan, from the sixth century CE to the twelfth century CE, in all its splendour and riotous glory. It is a world of bloody elephant warfare and brutal military stratagems; of alliances and betrayals; where a broken king commits ritual suicide, and a shrewd hunchbacked prince founds his own kingdom under his powerful brother's nose. This is a world where a king writes a bawdy play that is a parable for religious contestation; where the might of India's rulers and the wealth of its cities were talked of from Arabia to Southeast Asia; and where south Indian kingdoms serially invaded and defeated those of the north. This painstakingly researched forgotten history of India will keep you riveted and enthralled. You will never see the history of the subcontinent the same way again.

In this episode, I, Kamayani Sharma, am in conversation with Shukla Sawant and Annapurna Garimella, Founder Trustees of the Culture Workers Support Trust, an organisation set up in 2019 to and I'm quoting them directly “spread awareness among culture workers about their rights and responsibilities". We discuss the modes and methods by which labour in India's vast culture sector can start to organise and collectivise, how stakeholders across public and private sectors can come together for worker-oriented solutions to entrenched problems and how forms of workplace violence including gender & caste-based harassment (as that embodied by the #MeToo movement in the art world) cannot be delinked from broader issues of labour rights such as wage security and equitable contracts. We also discuss how in the network capital-dominated industries of the arts, legislative and judicial processes are necessary to enforce fair work conditions.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Matthias Schmidt @auto_schmidt "14,805 Ford Mach E manufactured in Q1 of which just under half in March. 6,614 sold in the US during the same period." WARREN BUFFETT-BACKED TESLA RIVAL REPORTS 162% PROFIT JUMP "BYD Co., the Chinese electric-vehicle maker in which Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway holds a stake, said profit more than doubled last year thanks to a recovery in demand in the world’s biggest car market." reports Livemint.com: "Shenzhen-based BYD’s net income surged 162% to 4.2 billion yuan ($644 million) in 2020, with operating revenue climbing to 153.5 billion yuan, according to its annual report. The company also estimated first-quarter profit will rise as much as 166%." https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/warren-buffett-backed-tesla-rival-reports-162-profit-jump-11617071192491.html XPENG SELF-DRIVING SYSTEM TESTED OVER 1,800-MILE ROAD TRIP "Chinese electric-vehicle startup Xpeng reached a major milestone in March in the development of its self-driving system for highways known as Navigation Guided Pilot." says Motor Authority: "NGP falls under the Xpilot banner which groups all of Xpeng's electronic driver-assist features, and is ranked at Level 2 on the SAE scale of self-driving capability as it still requires corrections to be made by the driver from time to time. However, the number of corrections is relatively low as Xpeng has demonstrated in a recent test. Xpeng in March invited 228 journalists, EV enthusiasts and industry experts to test the NGP in a fleet of P7 sedans traveling between the Chinese cities of Guangzhou and Beijing. The particular route was chosen due to the complex situations the cars would encounter, as well as it being representative of conditions found on most Chinese highways. After compiling the results, it was found that the system required on average 0.71 corrections per 62 miles. NGP relies on an array of sensors as well as GPS navigation and high-definition map data. The sensors include 14 cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, with all of the data processed by Nvidia's Drive Xavier computer chip." https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1131771_xpeng-self-driving-system-tested-over-1-800-mile-road-trip JOE BIDEN UNVEILS AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN "On March 31st he announced the first half of his massive infrastructure package—laden both with old-fashioned blue-collar building projects as well as newfangled initiatives to help propel America into a greener future. $174bn of it will go on electric vehicles—tax credits to help consumers afford them, to encourage states to build 500,000 public charging stations and to boost domestic supply chains (the White House laments the size of America’s electric-vehicle market, which is just one-third that of China’s)." reports The Economist. The Washington Post had an odd take: "The intention here is good, but these efforts could strand America behind the international curve. That’s because they ignore a burgeoning global trend in EV charging: a shift toward battery swapping. This simple, powerful mode of EV refueling uses robots to physically remove empty batteries and replace them with fully charged batteries — much as you would change the batteries in a flashlight. It’s already propelling the spread of scooters, electric rickshaws and EVs throughout China. “Fast chargers” represent an incomplete solution at best, partly because the name is a misnomer: they still take roughly an hour to charge." The author: Levi Tillemann. He is vice president for policy and international outreach at Ample. https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/04/01/joe-biden-unveils-americas-most-ambitious-infrastructure-plan-in-generations APPLE’S MASSIVE CALIFORNIA SOLAR FARM WILL USE TESLA ‘MEGAPACK’ BATTERIES "Earlier today, Apple announced it was building one of the largest battery projects in the United States, located at the California Flats Solar Project, in Monterey County. What Apple didn’t disclose was the huge solar farm would be leveraging ‘megapack’ batteries from Tesla to store excess energy from the sun. According to The Verge, Monterey County confirmed Tesla ‘megapack’ batteries would be used by Apple:" says iPhone Canada: "Apple says its new energy storage project would have enough juice to power over 7,000 homes for one day." https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/news/apples-massive-california-solar-farm-will-use-tesla-megapack-batteries/ A UNIVERSAL CHARGING STANDARD IS NEEDED FOR MASS EV ADOPTION "Rivian’s recently introduced Adventure Network of chargers sets the stage for a future of automaker exclusive charging made up of a confusing combo of charger types and exclusive networks. From a business standpoint, this makes sense for automakers. Enticing customers with an exclusive charging network can be sold as a benefit to both current and previous EV owners as well as people who aren’t owners and are on the fence about ownership. From a mass adoption standpoint, it won’t work." writes Gizmodo: " Tesla is the only automakers that uses its own proprietary charge connector. When Tesla established the Supercharger network in late 2012 it created its own Tesla-specific DC fast charging connector, because the common standard CCS plug didn’t yet exist. Tesla has clung to its own charger, despite everyone else agreeing on a new standard, shutting everyone else out from using the Supercharger network." https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/04/a-universal-charging-standard-is-needed-for-mass-ev-adoption/ EXTREME E SERIES STARTS THIS WEEKEND "Extreme E is an exciting new motorsport, racing all-electric SUVs off-road in five different venues across diverse, challenging terrains. These venues are located in some of the most remote places on earth, and they’ve been chosen because these places have been devastated by the effects of climate change." reports CNBC: "There are nine teams, each with one male and female driver (gender equality being another pillar of Extreme E), including famous names from many different motorsports. We have three Formula 1 world champions as team owners — Lewis Hamilton (X44), Nico Rosberg (Rosberg X Racing) and Jenson Button (JBXE) who is also a driver himself. Also among the driver line-up are former world rally champions Sébastien Loeb who won nine straight titles between 2004 and 2012 and twice-winner Carlos Sainz who has three Dakar Rally crowns. Behind the scenes, there are further F1 links with McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown as Andretti United’s team principal, while Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull Racing, and ex-driver Jean-Eric Vergne are both with Veloce Racing." https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/02/extreme-e-your-essential-guide-to-all-new-motorsport-series.html MEET THE BRITON LEADING A TESLA RIVAL "The Lucid Motors boss Peter Rawlinson is fluent in the language of the new breed of electric carmaker: he wants to save the planet and he wants to do it fast." asys The Guardian: "Such is the urgency of the “impending environmental crisis” facing the world, according to Rawlinson, that Lucid is hoping to work with mass-market carmakers to get its technology into production as soon as possible. Lucid has been “approached by a few car companies this year” over licensing deals, Rawlinson told the Guardian. Those talks have yielded “nothing tangible” yet and the prospect of earning revenues from partnerships with other carmakers, he says, remains very speculative." “The dichotomy is we need to get millions of $25,000 cars into production fast to save the planet. We’ve got the right technology but as a company I can’t get there for about eight, nine years, and it’s too late.” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/03/meet-the-briton-leading-a-tesla-rival-who-wants-to-save-the-planet-lucid NISSAN ON PATH TO COBALT-FREE EV BATTERIES BY MID-2020S "Nissan Motor intends to start using cobalt-free EV batteries by the mid-2020s, Nikkei has learned, as the rare metal element falls into short supply and concern rises about further price increases now that global demand for electric vehicles is swelling." reports Nikkei.com: "The Japanese automaker wants to reduce the cost of electric vehicles, without affecting the range of these cars on a single charge. Batteries account for 30% of an electric vehicle's manufacturing cost. And about 20% of the battery's cost comes from the positive electrode, which is made of 20% cobalt as well as nickel and manganese. Nissan says it will reduce cobalt's composition ratio to about 10% for an AriYa electric vehicle to be introduced later this year." https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Environment/Climate-Change/Nissan-on-path-to-cobalt-free-EV-batteries-by-mid-2020s2 BP JOINS BMW, DAIMLER EV CHARGING VENTURE "bp agreed to join BMW Group and Daimler Mobility AG in their drive to extend and significantly improve electrification, making electric vehicle charging more convenient, simpler and seamless for drivers." electric Vehicles Research: "Digital Charging Solutions GmbH stands behind the CHARGE NOW brand and operates charging services such as "Mercedes me Charge", "BMW Charging" and "MINI Charging". DCS already offers access to 228,000 charging points in 32 countries giving OEMs, fleet customers and EV drivers extensive access to charging infrastructure across Europe." https://www.electricvehiclesresearch.com/articles/23477/bp-joins-bmw-daimler-ev-charging-venture?rsst2id=3 QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What incentive would make the most difference to you buying an EV?

Producer and Host: Sneha Visakha; Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode; Outro Music: Opheliea's Blues by Audionautix; Trigger Warning: references to gender-based violence and structural violence Kindly note – This episode is English and Hindi; a translated transcript will be put up on our website shortly. In the eighth epsiode of the Feminist City, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Deepa Pawar, Founder-Director, Anubhuti Trust. In this episode, they talk about the diversity of urban youth, the challenges young women & girls face in the city, particularly those belonging to vulnerable communities such as nomadic and denotified tribes (NT-DNTs) in the city. They talk about the right to pee campaign, the way urban infrastructure and deprivation contributes to gender-based violence, exclusion and injustice. They discuss the politics of urban development, about who helps build the city and who benefits from the current paradigms of development, about ‘mental justice' as a critical dimension of social justice to be situated in the constitutional framework, and about the invisible structural violence that city-dwellers experience, particularly those belonging to NT-DNT communities. Deepa Pawar is the Founder and Director of Anubhuti Trust, with 20 years of experience in the social development sector. With a Masters' in Social Work, she is a trained counsellor who has worked extensively with vulnerable communities and a core member of the Right to Pee campaign. She is an internationally recognised NT-DNT woman activist and wrote the first ever book documenting Gadiya Lohar nomadic tribe's iron weapons / tools making. Anubhuti Trust, formed and self-led by women from different backgrounds, work on wide-ranging issues such as youth leadership, community development, mental justice, disaster risk management and constitutional literacy among others, from a gender justice, anti-discrimination and constitutional lens.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This is Equity Monday, our week-starting primer, in which we go over the latest, look to the week ahead, talk about some neat funding rounds, and dig into the latest on the health of the startup market.Don't forget that you can follow Equity on Twitter, and, as explained in the show, you can sign up for Alex's new TechCrunch newsletter "The Exchange" here.Ok, let's get into what we talked about this morning:The Rothenberg VC scandal is moving towards what feels like a conclusion, with the Department of Justice filing criminal charges against its founder. As TechCrunch reported, "the U.S. Department of Justice has brought two criminal wire fraud charges against him, charges that he made two false statements to a bank, and money laundering charges, all of which could result in a very long time in prison depending on how things play out."Q2 is coming to a close this week, and many American companies are taking Friday off. Expect news to slow into the end of the week.But, this week, South Korean gaming company DoubleDown Interactive is looking to raise $200 million by going public this week in the United States. That's going to be exciting to watch.Instead of picking individual funding rounds, we covered some notes on the Indian startup market. LiveMint, Times of India, and Entrackr all covered recent venture data, showing a booming India edtech market amidst a weaker VC landscape. If it turns out that rest of the world's VC scenes are in similar straits, we could be entering something similar to a VC recession.Finally, Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal is writing about how the stock market actually is tracking the economy. This is counter to the cliche that the stock market isn't the economy. But his argument helps explain something about the startup market that has stuck out for a while, namely why did startup layoffs drop sharply and churn decline quickly in Q2? Well, maybe things got better?And that's Equity for today. We're back Friday morning!
