Can a timber-framed cottage built in tiny Frogholt, England, in 1450 and its current occupant and owner teach 21st-century business executives and entrepreneurs valuable insights about leadership and collaboration? Absolutely. Douglas Squirrel, who goes by the mononym “Squirrel,” is a multi-decade technology trailblazer and business scale-up expert. He uses his home, Old Kent Cottage, which required extensive restoration help from plumbers, electricians, structural engineers, and thatchers, as a practical business case study in managing complexity and as a metaphor for demonstrating that those with diverse skills must collaborate harmoniously or risk structural failure. As Squirrel explains, if the many artisans who worked on Old Kent Cottage hadn't communicated and worked together closely, the roof would have fallen in. It's the same, he says, with every business. Squirrel is a proponent of using the human power of conversation to build effective, high-performing teams that lead to “insane” profits. Along with Jeffrey Fredrick, he wrote a seminal book on the topic, Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture. Squirrel is also the author of Squirrel's Tech Radar, which is available from Amazon UK. “You should be really curious about technology all the time, because there's nothing else that's moving as fast and that is changing the landscape of your business as quickly as the technological innovations,” he says. Squirrel chairs the Squirrel Squadron, a free-to-join global online community of diverse technical and non-technical executives who learn from one another. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart. Photo: Douglas Squirrel, Squirrel Squadron Posted: May 5, 2025 Monday Morning Run Time: 57:10 Episode: 13.44
NotebookLM transforma tus PDFs en podcasts bilingües: selecciona idioma, escucha un resumen conversacional y comparte conocimiento sin fronteras Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoGoogle acaba de abrir un nuevo capítulo en la carrera por la inteligencia artificial accesible. NotebookLM, su cuaderno digital que ya resumía textos como un experto diligente, ahora va a ofrecer Audio Overviews en más de cincuenta idiomas. Así, la función que nació en septiembre limitada al inglés cambia el panorama educativo, laboral y creativo. ¿Te imaginas escuchar un análisis de tus fuentes en español de México, en francés de Canadá o en swahili sin recurrir a traducciones automáticas poco fiables? Con solo pulsar el engranaje de ajustes y elegir “Output Language”, el sistema genera voces conversacionales capaces de explicar, bromear y pausar en la lengua que selecciones. La promesa suena enorme: ¿cómo va a transformar esto la forma en que aprendemos y compartimos conocimiento?La traducción automática ya no es el puente exclusivo, ahora escuchas al puente hablar.NotebookLM saltó al escenario en 2024 como un asistente que toma tus documentos, PDF, videos y enlaces, y los convierte en resúmenes con citas verificables. Hasta hace poco el servicio se limitaba al texto y la voz en inglés, lo cual encorsetaba su alcance. Pero los equipos de Google Labs integraron la compatibilidad nativa de audio de Gemini 2.5 Pro, el modelo que “entiende” lenguaje natural y entonaciones. Ahora, cualquier usuario de los más de doscientos países donde está disponible va a subir un informe sobre el Amazonas en portugués, agregar un artículo en español y un ensayo en inglés, para después generar un podcast amistoso que explique todo en catalán, coreano o guaraní. El cambio no se limita a la interfaz: la IA adapta chistes locales, ejemplos culturales y mantiene el estilo cercano que cautivó a los primeros usuarios.Hablar varios idiomas suele requerir años de estudio o costosos servicios de doblaje. Esto excluye a millones de estudiantes que aprenden con materiales ajenos a su lengua materna y a creadores que desean llegar a nuevas audiencias. Además, los traductores automáticos tradicionales pierden matices, introducen errores y rompen el ritmo de una narración. NotebookLM propone una solución, pero todavía existen retos: las voces pueden atascarse con nombres propios infrecuentes, producir traducciones literales en idiomas con pocos datos y tardar varios minutos en procesar cuadernos extensos. Google advierte que el servicio sigue en versión beta y que va a mejorar con la retroalimentación de la comunidad. Por eso, docentes y periodistas deben revisar las salidas antes de publicarlas para evitar desinformación.La expansión multilingüe abre oportunidades globales. Un profesor de biología en Bogotá va a crear guías de estudio para alumnos que hablan español latinoamericano, portugués brasileño y francés europeo, todo desde la misma plataforma. Una investigadora en Madrid va a convertir un archivo de 218 páginas sobre teoría de cuerdas en un debate ameno en japonés para su colega en Tokio. Emprendedores de podcasts podrán producir episodios simultáneos en varias lenguas sin contratar locutores adicionales. Esto democratiza el acceso al aprendizaje auditivo y al contenido especializado. La clave será utilizar la opción de “Output Language” con criterio: comparar resultados, corregir rarezas y aportar contexto humano. Si la comunidad adopta buenas prácticas, vamos a escuchar un ecosistema de audio realmente plural, donde cada acento encuentra su espacio y la información cruza fronteras sin perder sabor local.Google integró Audio Overviews en Gemini App y en Google Docs, de modo que los usuarios pueden convertir apuntes, diapositivas y largos ensayos en episodios sonoros portátiles. TechRadar destaca que los presentadores sintéticos mantienen un tono de charla de café, lejos de la locución robótica. The Verge señala que la novedad llega el mismo día en que Google celebra el Día Internacional del Idioma, reforzando su estrategia de inclusión digital. Además, 9to5Googleenumera los 50 idiomas soportados, desde afrikáans hasta vietnamita, incluyendo variantes regionales de español, francés y portugués. Cada audio se genera dentro de la cuenta del usuario; Google asegura que el contenido subido no alimenta al modelo, protegiendo la privacidad. Aunque la opción está activa desde hoy, algunos dialectos como sindhi o maithili podrían presentar errores fonéticos que la compañía planea pulir pronto.NotebookLM ahora habla más de cincuenta idiomas y convierte tus documentos en podcasts amistosos. Explora la función, revisa los resultados y comparte tus hallazgos. Si te atrae conocer estos avances cada día, sigue Flash Diario en Spotify.

Plus AI Films Can Now Win OscarsLike this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox, 3x a week. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.usMIT's 'Periodic Table' of Machine Learning Is a Total Game-ChangerMIT researchers just dropped a "periodic table" for machine learning, mapping out how 20+ classic algorithms are mathematically connected. This framework lets scientists remix existing methods to create new AI models—like one that beat current image classifiers by 8%. Even cooler? There are blank spots hinting at undiscovered algorithms. It's like AI's own version of scientific alchemy.When AI Makes Art: What Happens to Human Creativity?As AI-generated art floods our feeds, the real question isn't "Can AI be creative?" but "What does creativity mean now?" This editor's letter explores how AI reshapes art, urging us to see it not as a threat but as a partner. The future of creativity might be more collaborative than we ever imagined. AI Films Are Now Eligible for Oscars—But Human Creativity Still ReignsThe Academy has updated its rules: films using AI tools are officially Oscar-eligible. But here's the twist—AI won't boost or hurt your chances. What matters is how much human creativity is at the core. This comes after AI-enhanced performances like Adrien Brody's in The Brutalist stirred debate. The message? AI can assist, but the heart of the story better be human.China and the U.S. Are Building AI Empires—But on Totally Different FoundationsThe U.S. and China are both racing to dominate AI, but their strategies are worlds apart. While the U.S. flexes with cutting-edge GPUs and cloud giants, China is going DIY—crafting its own chips like Huawei's Ascend 910C and training models like DeepSeek on limited hardware. Despite U.S. export bans, China's scaling up with what it's got, proving that necessity really is the mother of invention.The 4 Types of AI Agent Users—and What They WantA new survey breaks down AI agent users into four vibes: Smarty Pants (info junkies), Minimalists (keep it simple), Life-Hackers (efficiency nerds), and Tastemakers (curated everything). Each group has unique needs, from decision support to personalized recs. For brands, it's a cheat sheet for building AI tools that actually click with users.Who Has Time to Be Polite to ChatGPT?TechRadar's Graham Barlow questions the habit of saying "please" and "thank you" to AI like ChatGPT. He argues that since AI lacks consciousness, such politeness is unnecessary and time-consuming. Barlow also notes that these extra words increase computational load, leading to higher costs and environmental impact. He advocates for concise interactions, reserving courtesy for human exchanges.
OpenAI mejora ChatGPT con memoria extendida, permitiendo respuestas personalizadas y recordando detalles previos. Usuarios pagos acceden primeroPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCo La empresa OpenAI anunció este jueves la incorporación de una nueva opción de memoria en ChatGPT. Los usuarios de los planes Pro y Plus podrán activar la función para personalizar aún más sus conversaciones. La herramienta registra datos de interacciones previas y ofrece respuestas basadas en información compartida con anterioridad. La intención es hacer que este asistente virtual sea más fluido y cercano a las necesidades de cada persona. Algunos países de Europa no contarán con la actualización inmediatamente por temas de regulación. Aun así, OpenAI mantiene su plan de llevar la novedad a todos los usuarios. ¿Será este el paso clave para que la inteligencia artificial se convierta en una aliada cotidiana? Algunos dudan de la privacidad, pero otros celebran la comodidad La memoria mejorada de ChatGPT busca que no repitas tus datos cada vez que conversas con la herramienta. OpenAI quiere que el sistema se adapte a tu estilo y recuerde detalles que le has contado. Así logra sugerirte soluciones o consejos más precisos. Google mostró algo similar en febrero con su tecnología Gemini. Ahora, la competencia se intensifica. ChatGPT Pro y Plus serán los primeros en disfrutar de esta característica, exceptuando países que requieren más revisiones legales. Todavía no hay información sobre la versión gratuita. La idea es ofrecer un asistente más eficiente. Muchos ven este paso como un avance hacia interacciones más humanas con la inteligencia artificial. La nueva memoria de ChatGPT genera inquietudes en varios usuarios. Muchos temen que su información personal sea recopilada sin su consentimiento pleno. Existe la opción de desactivar la función y también se puede pedir al sistema que olvide detalles puntuales. Aunque la empresa asegura que el propósito es mejorar la experiencia, ciertos sectores ven un riesgo en la acumulación de datos confidenciales. Varios países europeos han bloqueado o retrasado esta función por requerir revisiones especiales de cumplimiento. No todos confían en que la inteligencia artificial respete la privacidad en todo momento. Además, no se ha dado fecha para usuarios gratuitos, lo cual plantea desigualdades. ¿Es un precio razonable por la comodidad de conversaciones más fluidas? Algunos especialistas piden más transparencia en el manejo de las memorias guardadas. La empresa confía en que este paso consolide a ChatGPT como un aliado clave en el día a día. Quienes pagan los planes Pro y Plus van a recibir mejoras constantes y la posibilidad de chatear sin tener que repetir información básica. Al mismo tiempo, OpenAI ha habilitado modos temporales de conversación para quienes deseen una interacción sin registro de datos. Se trata de una idea simple: proporcionar respuestas más útiles basadas en gustos o detalles compartidos. Sam Altman, líder de OpenAI, expresó su emoción con la nueva función. También comentó que la compañía espera integrar la memoria mejorada con desarrollos futuros, incluyendo creaciones de voz e imágenes. Aunque su adopción se enfrenta a barreras legales en ciertas regiones europeas. Aun así, los voceros de la empresa reiteran su compromiso de cumplir las normativas. Algunos comparan esta evolución con la de asistentes virtuales previos, pero la velocidad de cambio es superior. El objetivo general es un ChatGPT más humano y capaz de aprender de cada conversación. Para usuarios que no quieran exponer su información, la opción de desactivar la memoria sigue estando disponible. Muchos ven esto como un equilibrio razonable entre personalización y protección de datos. La discusión no termina aquí, porque surgen nuevas preguntas sobre los límites de la inteligencia artificial y su papel en la cotidianidad. La conferencia StrictlyVC organizará un evento en Londres el 13 de mayo para debatir avances en inteligencia artificial y tecnología de riesgo. Esta iniciativa busca reunir a inversionistas, emprendedores y expertos en un espacio de conversación abierto. Mientras tanto, publicaciones como TechRadar y Business Insider resaltan que la memoria de ChatGPT no es del todo nueva. ChatGPT ya podía recordar cierto contexto, aunque su capacidad era limitada. Con la actualización, la inteligencia artificial cruza datos de distintas sesiones para ofrecer respuestas más acertadas. Quienes trabajan en proyectos de gran complejidad celebran esta mejora. Afirman que se facilita la continuidad en tareas como redacción, análisis de código o planificación de contenido. Según varios artículos, Google también avanza con nuevas características en su modelo Gemini. El panorama tecnológico se perfila muy dinámico. La integración de ChatGPT en entornos educativos y laborales podría ser decisiva. Los próximos meses darán más indicios de la dirección que tomarán estas herramientas y cómo afectarán la forma en que usamos la inteligencia artificial en la vida diaria. OpenAI introduce una función de memoria mejorada en ChatGPT para ofrecer respuestas basadas en conversaciones pasadas. Hay entusiasmo y también inquietud sobre la privacidad.

Gemini borra marcas de agua: controversia legal, novedades de Google y debate sobre derechos de autor Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo¿Qué pasaría si cualquiera pudiera quitar marcas de agua en un abrir y cerrar de ojos? Ese escenario se vuelve real con la nueva actualización de la inteligencia artificial Gemini 2.0 Flash de Google. Personas en redes sociales descubren que este avance borra marcas de agua y rellena los huecos, lo que implica un debate sobre derechos de autor. Getty Images y otros bancos de imágenes están preocupados. Hay reacciones en foros y expertos advierten que eliminar un sello sin consentimiento del dueño original viola la legislación de propiedad intelectual. Este tema llama la atención de desarrolladores y usuarios curiosos. ¿Será un cambio profundo en la forma de compartir contenido digital? La controversia asoma: ¿eliminación injusta o innovación necesaria en IA? Google presentó la versión experimental de Gemini 2.0 Flash, un modelo capaz de generar y editar imágenes con enorme rapidez. Muchos usuarios se sorprendieron cuando notaron que es posible retirar marcas de agua de forma casi automática. Esto ocurre gracias a la habilidad del modelo para llenar los vacíos que quedan tras la eliminación del sello. Getty Images y otras plataformas de contenido visual señalaron su preocupación, ya que su negocio depende de la venta legítima de licencias. Mientras tanto, foros de tecnología se llenan de tutoriales que muestran el paso a paso para usar esta herramienta. Al contemplar este suceso, es natural preguntarse si estamos frente a un cambio en la forma de manejar contenidos protegidos. El acto de eliminar marcas de agua sin autorización del propietario original no es legal. Distintos despachos jurídicos confirman que se considera un atentado contra los derechos de autor. Mientras Google deja clara la etiqueta “uso experimental” en Gemini 2.0 Flash, muchas personas lo prueban para fines cuestionables. Otras inteligencias artificiales, como Claude 3.7 Sonnet o GPT-4o, se niegan rotundamente a realizar este tipo de acción. Esto plantea una situación complicada: los creadores de contenido digital temen que su trabajo se utilice de manera indebida. Este temor no solo afecta a grandes empresas, también alcanza a artistas independientes que dependen de la venta legítima de sus imágenes. La pregunta es cómo equilibrar la innovación con la protección de la propiedad intelectual. Google indica que esta función de Gemini 2.0 Flash no está lista para usarse en entornos de producción. Aclara que su objetivo es probar los límites de la tecnología y recopilar comentarios de la comunidad. Algunos desarrolladores piden a Google que establezca filtros más estrictos o mensajes de advertencia claros. El debate también se extiende a la educación en línea: muchos instructores creen que es esencial concientizar a los nuevos usuarios sobre las implicaciones éticas. Este avance ilustra que, cuando una herramienta de edición es gratis y muy potente, surgen riesgos para la integridad de la autoría. Varios artistas han exigido medidas de protección más efectivas, mientras que otros aprovechan el potencial creativo de Gemini para generar nuevas ideas o remezclar proyectos personales. Ese contraste ejemplifica la dirección de la industria: más poder en manos de cualquier persona y, a la vez, nuevos desafíos legales y morales que requieren atención inmediata. Según TechCrunch, esta polémica gira en torno a la reciente prueba de Gemini 2.0 Flash, que ofrece la opción de eliminar marcas de agua y regenerar áreas de la imagen con sorprendente precisión. TechRadar describe la capacidad del modelo para responder en tiempo récord, incluso más rápido que otros generadores como DALL-E. VentureBeat destaca la incorporación nativa de la generación de imágenes en la misma arquitectura, lo que agiliza la interacción sin necesidad de conectar varias IA. Algunos usuarios han experimentado en Google AI Studio y publicado ejemplos donde Gemini rellena espacios de forma muy realista, incluidas partes del fondo o letras de cartel. Mientras tanto, 9to5Google comenta que la herramienta se integra con Android Studio para convertir bocetos en código de interfaz. Esta integración podría simplificar procesos creativos y de programación. Todas estas funciones reflejan el alcance variado de Gemini y ofrecen pistas sobre futuras aplicaciones en el ámbito profesional y educativo. Este avance de Gemini 2.0 Flash abre interrogantes sobre legalidad y creatividad. Es esencial debatir cómo usar estas herramientas con responsabilidad. ¿Qué opinan ustedes? ¡Esperamos sus comentarios! Sigan nuestro pódcast en Spotify, Flash Diario y contribuyan a esta conversación con ideas y perspectivas frescas. Queremos animarlos a comentar en redes sociales y compartir sus experiencias con la eliminación de marcas de agua. Todo punto de vista cuenta en esta discusión.

PSN colapsó por un día. Sony brinda cinco días extra en PS Plus para compensar jugadores Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoEl servicio en línea de PlayStation estuvo fuera de funcionamiento durante 24 horas. Sony informó que no fue un ataque de hackers, sino un problema operacional. Muchas personas que pagan por PS Plus tuvieron dificultades para acceder a sus juegos. Este suceso dejó a millones desconectados durante un fin de semana importante para torneos y eventos especiales. ¿Puede esta compensación de cinco días de servicio extra calmar el descontento de los fanáticos? Estas preguntas surgen después de que varios usuarios esperaban un reembolso o juegos gratuitos. Algunos títulos populares pospusieron sus eventos para no perjudicar a los jugadores. Vamos a conocer los detalles de esta controversia. Público infantil también afectado. Algunos usuarios consideran insuficiente la oferta: piden reembolsos inmediatos ya El colapso de PlayStation Network ocurrió por 24 horas y atrapó a millones de jugadores. Sony declaró que fue una cuestión operativa sin más detalles. Varias fuentes, como BBC News y The Guardian, reportaron reclamos masivos. Según TechRadar, había 71.000 quejas iniciales en la web oficial. PSN registró 116 millones de usuarios diarios en 2024, así que la magnitud fue notable. Durante ese periodo, títulos como Call of Duty Black Ops 6 o FC 25 quedaron inhabilitados para torneos importantes. Incluso juegos individuales no pudieron verificarse por licencia. Este suceso reabrió el debate sobre la dependencia de la conexión permanente. Muchos jugadores dedicaron su fin de semana para competir o progresar en juegos clave. Esta caída impidió acceder a títulos de pago, algo que generó molestia general. El costo de las suscripciones mensuales es elevado, así que la gente sintió falta de valor por su dinero. Foros y redes explotaron con memes y reclamos. Algunos lamentaron perder un evento limitado en Monster Hunter Wilds y recompensas de XP doble en Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Este tipo de interrupciones resulta raro por su duración y magnitud. Sony no ofreció claridad absoluta sobre las causas, apenas una mención a un asunto operativo. Jugadores se preguntan si la infraestructura actual es lo bastante confiable. Muchos exigen transparencia y reglas de compensación. Sony anunció cinco días de extensión para suscriptores de PS Plus. Quien tenga un plan mensual o anual va a recibir esos días antes de la fecha de expiración. Algunos esperaban saldo en la tienda digital, pero la empresa descartó esa opción. Fuentes como Forbes señalan que Sony intenta evitar una pérdida millonaria. Regalar solo cinco días parece insuficiente para una comunidad acostumbrada a recibir juegos gratis en situaciones anteriores, como en 2011. Esa vez, la interrupción fue mayor y la compensación incluyó títulos gratuitos. Los editores de grandes juegos informaron que van a ajustar calendarios de eventos para no perjudicar a los participantes. Otros planean ofrecer recompensas internas para quienes no jugaron ese fin de semana. Esta aproximación busca calmar la frustración. Algunos usuarios continúan pidiendo más explicaciones, especialmente sobre las causas del fallo. El debate sigue abierto en redes y foros. Varias comunidades infantiles también piden orientación oficial. Existen otros ejemplos recientes de interrupciones en redes de juego. En 2023, un corte de Xbox Live duró ocho horas y ofrecieron incentivos internos a modo de disculpa. Nintendo Switch Online ha tenido caídas breves, pero con menor impacto gracias a su estructura de validación. PlayStation, en cambio, mantiene un sistema centralizado que verifica licencias incluso para juegos de un solo jugador. Muchos usuarios recuerdan con asombro el hackeo de 2011, que dejó la red inactiva casi un mes. Aquella vez, Sony recompensó con títulos gratuitos y seguros de protección de datos. La discusión actual gira en torno a si cinco días bastan para un corte de un día completo. Otras noticias afirman que compañías como Activision o EA van a entregar bonos adicionales a los afectados por el retraso de torneos. Esto refleja la enorme dependencia de sistemas en línea, tanto en comunidades adultas actuales como en la infantil. Este corte de 24 horas en PSN levantó muchas preguntas y reclamos. Sony decidió compensar con cinco días extra en PS Plus, pero no ofreció más explicaciones. Hay reacciones variadas: algunos celebran el gesto, otros piden más. ¿Tú qué opinas? Comenta y comparte.

Apple presenta lámpara robot expresiva con Siri y sólido enfoque hogareño, según Apple Machine Learning Research Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo ¿Podemos imaginar un futuro donde un robot nos acompañe en el escritorio y baile con nosotros al ritmo de la música? Apple trabaja en un prototipo fascinante: una lámpara robot con movimientos expresivos y capacidad para responder gestos y comandos de voz. Este dispositivo, presentado en su investigación ELEGNT, comparte rasgos muy humanos como la curiosidad y la empatía, demostrando su potencial para iluminar proyectos, proyectar videos y hasta invitarnos a beber agua. Es una propuesta llamativa que sugiere un acercamiento más cercano entre la tecnología y nuestro entorno cotidiano. ¿Será este el nuevo paso en la robótica hogareña que todos estamos esperando? Hay un video que prueba su carisma. Algunos dudan si Apple planea lanzar esta lámpara robot pronto El prototipo de Apple es una lámpara con un brazo articulado, cámara, luz LED y proyector. Viene con un asistente de voz similar a Siri. Los investigadores de Apple Machine Learning Research lo llaman ELEGNT. Ellos exploran cómo dotar al robot de movimientos expresivos que lo hagan atractivo. El video muestra dos versiones: una “Funcional” y otra “Expresiva”. La segunda baila, inclina la cabeza con tristeza y empuja un vaso para invitar a beber agua. Los autores del proyecto, liderados por Yuhan Hu y su equipo, quieren demostrar que el carisma aumenta la interacción. El proyecto confirma esa ventaja inicial. Algunas personas se preguntan si este prototipo va a llegar pronto al mercado. Bloomberg señala que Apple podría presentar un robot similar en 2026 o 2027, con un costo cercano a 1.000 dólares. Hay incertidumbre porque un dispositivo sin pantalla grande parece insuficiente para videollamadas o navegación web. Otros temen que sea un lujo y no un producto de consumo masivo. También surge la interrogante sobre la privacidad: un robot con cámara y micrófono integrados genera dudas. La integración de Siri y proyectores podría elevar el precio, alejándolo de muchos usuarios. Apple no confirma planes oficiales, lo que aumenta las preguntas sobre su lanzamiento definitivo. ¿Realmente van a apostar por un gadget tan novedoso y costoso para todos en casa? Mientras la comunidad debate la utilidad real de un robot-lámpara, Apple parece preparar el terreno con investigaciones orientadas a la interacción emocional. ELEGNT ejemplifica cómo un movimiento expresivo invita al usuario a entablar una relación más cercana con el dispositivo. En otras marcas, como Amazon con su robot Astro, ya existe un enfoque hacia robots para el hogar, aunque su disponibilidad es limitada. El caso de Apple podría marcar una diferencia al integrar todo en un ecosistema con Siri y servicios conocidos. A mediano plazo, estos proyectos van a evolucionar hacia experiencias más fluidas. Si la empresa confirma su lanzamiento, tal vez veamos una nueva categoría de productos, parecida a los altavoces inteligentes con pantallas. Los primeros ensayos indican que la robótica expresiva despierta curiosidad y apego. Este fenómeno va a abrir posibilidades en enseñanza, teleasistencia y entretenimiento, siempre que se gestione bien la privacidad y seguridad de los datos. Este proyecto de Apple Machine Learning Research recuerda la estética de la lámpara Luxo Jr. de Pixar, según TechRadar. La propuesta combina un foco LED con cámara, micrófono y proyector, buscando reproducir rasgos de gesticulación humana. El video oficial dura 4,76 minutos y muestra distintas rutinas: bailar, mirar por la ventana y proyectar tutoriales. Muchos sitios especializados, como 9to5Mac y The Verge, destacan el parecido con asistentes robóticos de otras marcas. Cada movimiento está diseñado para transmitir emociones, incluso al empujar un vaso de agua como recordatorio de hidratación. Se cree que Apple va a fusionar inteligencia de voz con sensores avanzados, creando interacciones más cálidas. MacRumors menciona que el prototipo examina cómo generar empatía tecnológica. La idea base surge de la necesidad de robots amigables, capaces de animar espacios domésticos. Esta investigación insinúa un futuro donde la robótica hogareña sea más natural y divertida. Especialistas lo comparan con Pixar. Apple avanza en robótica hogareña con su lámpara inteligente y expresiva. La integración de Siri y movimientos carismáticos podría abrir nuevas puertas en el hogar. ¿Te gustaría ver uno de estos robots en tu escritorio?

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 01Webb Telescope Confirms Hubble TensionThe James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the Hubble Tension, challenging the current understanding of cosmic theory. New observations reveal that the Universe is expanding faster now than during its early years, suggesting gaps in our understanding of cosmic physics. The study, led by Adam Rees and Thomas Barber, confirms the accuracy of Hubble's measurements, pointing to unknown factors in the Universe's expansion.Liquid Erosion on Asteroid VestaA new hypothesis proposes that liquids could have carved out gullies on the airless asteroid Vesta. Laboratory experiments suggest that briny liquids, rather than dry debris flows, may have formed these features. This study, reported in the Planetary Science Journal, provides insights into the geological processes on Vesta.New Year's Day Fireworks on MarsWhile Earth celebrates New Year's Day, Mars experiences its own fireworks with explosive spring thaws.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment, Analytic Dreamz explores the phenomenal launch of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6", released on October 25, 2024. We'll delve into how this title has set new franchise records in player engagement and sales within its first three days. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has declared it the "biggest Call of Duty release ever," highlighting unprecedented day-one player counts and an influx of Game Pass subscribers.Analytic Dreamz will discuss the significant 60% sales increase on PlayStation and Steam compared to 2023's "Modern Warfare 3", attributing this to Black Ops 6's positive reception, particularly its campaign after "Modern Warfare 3's" less favorable reviews. The integration of "Black Ops 6" into Game Pass from day one has evidently influenced Microsoft's strategy, aiming to balance premium sales with subscription revenue.We'll cover the game's setting in an alternate 1991, introducing characters like Troy Marshall and Frank Woods, and examine the new gameplay elements including 16 new maps at launch and the return of the cherished "Round-Based Zombies" mode. The upcoming Season 1, set to begin on November 14, promises fresh content for both "Black Ops 6" and "Warzone".Analytic Dreamz will also review the critical reception, where "Black Ops 6" has garnered an 83/100 on Metacritic, with high praise from IGN, Pure Xbox, and TechRadar for its campaign and multiplayer experience. Additionally, we'll address some controversies like the always-online requirement for the campaign and the introduction of paid audio features. The segment will touch on the game's technical aspects, including its substantial file size and cross-platform capabilities, and how it has significantly boosted Microsoft's gaming division revenue by 61%.Lastly, Analytic Dreamz will discuss the broader impact of "Black Ops 6" on the Call of Duty franchise, now surpassing 500 million in sales, marking a new milestone for Microsoft following the Activision acquisition.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
I denne episode besøger vi Universal Robots i Odense, for at se nærmere på hvordan AI kan bruges til at hjælpe robotter med blandt andet at forstå deres omverden bedre, selv i relativt dynamiske miljøer som pakke-lagre, hvor robotterne skal kunne genkende og flytte alt fra hobbysakse og kaffefiltre til mobilopladere og hockeystave…Jeg har talt med vicepræsident Anders Billesø Beck om hvordan firmaet foreløbig har integreret AI i deres ‘cobots' med det nye AI Accelerator-kit, og hvad mulighederne er på den lidt længere bane?I studiet får jeg besøg af min nye stemmeklon, der hjælper mig med de korte AI-nyheder.Lyt med!

Eine technische Vision für die technische Leitlinie.Klare Regeln, eine klare Richtung, in die dein Team läuft, sind essentiell, um schnelle Entscheidungen ohne Streit zu treffen. Jedes Software-Team hat als Ziel, sich schnell zu bewegen, dynamisch und agil zu sein. Doch dafür sind ein paar Leitlinien notwendig und die Richtung muss für alle klar sein.Doch wie macht man dies? Das Stichwort der Stunde heißt “technische Vision”. Wir klären was das für eine Vision ist, wo der Unterschied zur Produkt-Vision ist, warum diese Vision auf Team- oder auf Firmenebene gesetzt werden kann, wer diese setzen sollte, untermalen das ganze mit ein paar griffigen Beispielen, setzen verwandte Hilfsmittel wie das Techradar und ein Engineering Manifesto in Relation und geben euch eine kleine Anleitung wie man eine technische Vision erstellt.Bonus: Wie Berater mit der Antwort “It depends” immer wieder punkten.Das schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Amazon has increased its fees for fulfillment in Q4. These stories and more, on this week's Weekly Buzz. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz, where we give you a rundown of all the goings-ons and news stories that are going on the Amazon, TikTok shop and e-commerce world and we give you training tips of the week, as well as let you know what new Helium 10 features will give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Let's see what's buzzing. Bradley Sutton: All right, let's go ahead and hop into the news. We don't have as much quantity wise as stories as last week. We had a record 14, but we've got some bangers here today, so let's get into the first article. It's actually from seekingalpha.com. I don't think I've ever quoted that news website, but look at this. This is a doozy, guys. If it is what this article says, it is, but it says Amazon is going to let TikTok users shop select products without leaving the video app, all right. So what does that mean? Sounds like it's just what it says. It says Amazon is teaming up with TikTok to enable e-commerce shopping on the short content video app. All right, so this is actually citing an Amazon spokesperson. So it's supposedly now TikTok users can buy items from Amazon ads that are going to be run inside of TikTok. So they're scrolling TikTok not necessarily TikTok shop, but just regular TikTok and then somehow there's an ad on there and they're going to be able to purchase without even leaving TikTok. Now this, to me, is kind of a little bit mind boggling, because, you know, I would think that TikTok wants to prioritize TikTok shop. Bradley Sutton: But this is interesting. It recognizes, hey, amazon has got a lot of products that maybe people want to buy from there, and so now it says here this Amazon spokesperson says in app shopping with Amazon, is it going to be available for select products advertised on TikTok and sold by Amazon or independent sellers. So basically, what's going to happen, like Instagram and TikTok and others, is, with these new ads, users of those platforms can link their social media accounts to their Amazon profiles and check out within the social media apps using the payment and shipping information they've stored with Amazon. And I guess this the information which is the original source of this news article says that the social media ads are going to show more details that a shopper would find on Amazon's website prices, estimated shipping times, even prime eligibility. So that is a how cool? Is that? Pretty cool, I think. Like if, if you can now run targeted ads like that would be the key to me. Like is it only going to show up, you know, if I'm doing some kind of sponsored display ad or DSP or something like that, and then and Amazon randomly shows me. Or can I target TikTok directly? Can I target hashtags? You know would be interesting. What effect is this going to have on TikTok shop itself? What will be interesting to like? Already, TikTok users are getting kind of upset with how many you know products come to their feed right From TikTok shop. They're still buying it, but you know, like is this going to flood even more e-commerce and might give people some TikTok fatigue? I guess who knows what's going on, but this was interesting breaking news today. Bradley Sutton: Next article that we have going on is actually from Seller Central itself, and it's another week. Another news article about raising fees. But this shouldn't be, you know, like earth shattering or something. This is what happens every year. It doesn't matter who you use to ship, you know fulfillment fees increase. Shipping prices increase a lot of times across the board during Q4. So it's saying that, hey, starting October 15th through January 14th, there is going to be peak fulfillment prices. All right, it's going to apply to all products and it's going to be the same within a specific size band. It says and this is going to apply for, you know, remote fulfillment, multi-channel fulfillment, buy with Prime and more. And it says the fulfillment fee is going to be the same as it was last year, except for products priced under $10, because that is going to have a new fee or a new fee in 2024. Because remember the what is it? Small and light no longer has it and they have something that's for $10 and below. Bradley Sutton: So I would recommend guys going into seller central and checking out the new like size tiers, like just just as an example. You know, don't think this is something that is going to increase your cost 50% or something crazy like that. For example, let's just say you've got a large standard item I think my coffin shelf is one of those, and it's one point or two to 2.25 pounds I think that's my coffin shelf, I'm not sure, uh. Or if it's two, 25 to 2.5, it's $6 and 5 cents. Let's say I'm paying $6 and 5 cents, now that is going to go up to a $6 and 44 cents. So I mean, that's not nothing, right? You know it's 40 cents per unit on my coffin shelf, all right. So just keep that in mind. That's. That's something that's going to happen. Bradley Sutton: You know, some, some sellers raise their prices during Q4 because they know the conversion might be higher, especially during peak shopping times. But just know that if you don't raise your prices, your profit is going to go down due to these fee changes. So again, check your Seller Central dashboard for the links to the articles that will talk about what size tier you're on and what your price was and what it would be, etc. Speaking of fee increases, TikTok shop has fee increases. It's going to nine percent starting in September, but this is for TikTok UK, all right. So I don't have any new information on am. On USA, remember, I think I believe TikTok UK was actually started before USA, unless I'm mistaken. So that could mean that in us. You know some of these fee increases might come behind, but they were at five percent for UK sellers and it is going to 9% for UK sellers, all right, so take a look at. If you're selling on TikTok UK, uh, make sure to check out this article. If you're selling a TikTok Shop US, don't even. You can just skip over that. It doesn't apply to you yet, but just a heads up for you. Uh, selling on Tik TOK in UK. Moving to other platforms, talking about Amazon, talking about TikTok, we're going all over the place. Bradley Sutton: Today, let's talk about Temu Sheen and AliExpress. Per an article on TechRadar, it says Temu Sheen and AliExpress are attracting US customers in the millions and this is the funny part and that's despite the fact that the vast majority do not trust these online retailers in the first place. All right, so what's some of the numbers? They polled 4,000 people in the US UK polled 4,000 people in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and they said that 60% of respondents had shopped on one of these three websites in the last year, with 50% of them shopping at more than one. I am not one of them. I'm not on there yet. 72% of people knew about Temu 55% knew about Sheen. 48% of online shoppers, it says, bought items from Temu, 42% from Sheen and 28% from AliExpress. That's mind boggling to me, like I don't know any American people who know about AliExpress. You know outside of you know us Amazon sellers, right? Some of the popular items is adult clothing for Sheen 57%. Household items on Temu 35%. Now this is the funny part here Even though all of these sales, all these people 50% shopping on Temu right, 94% of these respondents said they don't trust Temu, but they're still shopping on there. That's kind of ridiculous to me. If you don't trust them, why are you shopping on there? So that's kind of interesting to me. Is growing in popularity. Like I told you a few weeks ago, I'm investigating starting selling some of my products on Temu to see how that goes, shipping from US and having a higher price, obviously, than the Chinese sellers. Let's see how that goes. I'll have my results on that in a few weeks. I'm also trying to get Project X up on Temu as well. Bradley Sutton: Our next article is going back to Seller Central and it is entitled Give Returns a Second Life with FBA Grade and Resell. I don't enroll in this, or I haven't enrolled in this. I'm wondering if has anybody out there enrolled in this FBA Grade and Resell? Because what it does is it says it grades and relists your return products, allowing you to recover value and give them a second life. It's a set it and forget it system and it's a fee-based so. So take a look at more details. If this is right for you, you know, if you're getting a lot of returns and you don't want to have it come back to you or you want to have Amazon take a closer look before putting it back in inventory, maybe this uh service you know could be for you. FBA Grade and Resell. Do a search on that and your seller central dashboard and you will get information on it. Bradley Sutton: Next news article is just almost like a throwaway news article. I just thought it was funny because I probably have owned um more Kia souls than most people Like. I think I have owned eight different Kia souls over the last 10 years. I've got two Kia souls right now. Like for my family, uh, my daughter has had three different Kia souls. All right, so we have. We were a Kia soul family. But this article is entitled I think this is from Bloomberg Amazon is testing speedy delivery featuring Kia Souls, all right. So this is kind of like to counterbalance how much they rely on the flex drivers of souls. I'm doing it, but I don't think it's a matter of, oh, if you drive a Kia soul, maybe you can get hired as an Amazon delivery driver. It's actually the opposite, I believe. It looks like maybe Amazon is going to buy their own Kia souls or something and instead of having a like sometimes flex drivers, you know, like have you ever had your Amazon products delivered by door dash drivers or Uber drivers? Or like random strangers, like pulling up to your life, who's this pulling up to my house? Oh, shoot, it's just an Amazon delivery. All right, those are flex drivers. They're not necessarily Amazon employees, but I guess instead of having to rely on that, they want to have like take it in house a little bit and maybe they're going to be buying a fleet of of Kia souls. Interesting. I used to have a blue electric Kia soul. I don't have it anymore, but look, look kind of like the Amazon blue. I wonder what color these Amazon delivery Kia Soles will have. But now you see a Kia Sole pulling up in your neighborhood. It's probably either me or my family or an Amazon delivery driver. Bradley Sutton: Last article of the day is an announcement by Amazon saying hey, you can now plan your agenda for Amazon Accelerate 2024. This is the event of the year that you should go to. It's September 17 and 19 in Seattle. You guys have known about that. If you want to sign up, go to h10.me forward slash accelerate. But this announcement is about oh, by the way you know, it talks about seller cafe super important. If you have any issue with your Amazon account at all, seller cafe, set an appointment. You can get it fixed. Most likely, if you're on the right, these guys know what they're doing. If seller central hasn't been able to fix something, I almost guarantee I can't guarantee completely I don't work for Amazon, but I almost want to guarantee that that those seller cafe people can fix it for you. But anyways, the thing that's new is you can now do your agenda. So if you've signed up or are planning to sign up, you want to see what kind of agenda is like. You know when is Martha Stewart speaking, which, which she is and what are the other executives and when is Amazon going to release that? Go to the agenda builder. Mine's not on there yet, but I'm a speaker at Amazon Accelerate myself. So make sure those of you going, you guys put me on your agenda, my speech that I'm going to be doing. We're doing a 15 at Amazon Accelerate and along those same lines for those going to Amazon Accelerate or maybe you just live in Seattle or you want to fly to Seattle, not go to Accelerate just hang out with us. Bradley Sutton: Any listener of the podcast you can attend our elite workshop for free on the 16th. Space is limited, so this is not unlimited. It's going to sell out. We're capping at like about 100, 125 people, but we're going to have Kevin King speaking there. We're going to have Destiny I 25 people, but we're going to have Kevin King speaking there. We're going to have destiny I'm going to be there. Jeff Cohen from Amazon advertising Uh, we'll, we'll be there. We'll have some food and beverages. It's going to be from one to 6 PM on September 16th. So go to h10.me forward slash Seattle to get tickets. H10.me forward slash Seattle and it's free for now. All right, um, you know, usually you have to pay like 300 bucks to get into these high level workshops. We have rubbed shoulders with Kevin and Destiny and others, but this one for podcast listeners is going to be free, but while tickets remain, all right, it's going to sell out and then I can't guarantee your entry. I'll see you in Seattle, all right? Bradley Sutton: Next up, let's go ahead and combine our training tip of the week with a Helium 10 feature update. It's not really a feature update, but we revamped and made our keyword sales estimations even more accurate, all right. So this is why is keyword sales estimations an important metric? Search volume, obviously, is great. It's a great way to kind of prioritize your keywords. Why? Because you know, maybe you have 10 relevant keywords. You want to know which one to put in your title. Well, if they're all equally relevant, you're probably going to pick them over the most search form. But in addition, what is the reason you're doing that? Well, the reason you're doing that is because you're assuming that the ones with the most search volume can lead to the most sales. Right, and that would normally and in most situations absolutely be a hundred percent accurate statement. All right, but I said most situations, because sometimes you'll have a keyword that has less buyer intent. What does that mean? That means you know a hundred thousand people are searching it, but maybe only 1000 people are actually buying something after it where you could have a keyword with 20,000 searches and 2000 people purchasing a product because it was so specific that it has a lot of buyer intent. So you can see that looking just at search volume sometimes is not the best way to look at things. Well, Helium 10 has keyword sales estimates and they revamped the algorithm and it's pretty cool because I was just doing some testing on my top two keywords Everybody, everybody right now. Bradley Sutton: Who's seeing Project X and the coffin shelf. What is our top two keywords? You probably know coffin shelf and gothic decor. So take a look here at where this metric is and let me just show you something super cool. All right, so I'm here right now in Magnet, Helium, Magnet, I put my top two keywords, coffin shelf and Gothic decor and, as you can see here, this is interesting. Coffin shelf has 3,900 searches a month estimated and Gothic decor has 15,000, but you would think that maybe is it three times as many sales that Gothic decor has in coffin shelf. No, um, look at this. This is actually kind of crazy. Coffin shelf has 18 keyword sales, but Gothic decor has 147. So actually, Gothic decor has a lot of buyer intent, even more than coffin shelf. The conversion rate from sales to search volume is a lot higher on Gothic decor. Bradley Sutton: Now don't get it twisted. That doesn't mean that Gothic decor is a better keyword. It's not, you know, like Gothic decor. If you look at the people who buy things on Gothic decor, they're buying all kinds of products. They're not really buying coffin shelves, you know per se. Okay, so take a look at this. Um, let me just show you, uh, how accurate this is. Like you can't do this always, but I just. These were the first two keywords I tested, because this is what's near and dear to my heart. Right, I love how Amazon shows data, because when Amazon shows more data, sometimes people say, oh, amazon showing search query performance and brand analytics and this and that, and why do I need Helium 10 anymore? That's like incompetent. I'm like no, it's great, because the more data that Amazon shows, the more you could actually kind of prove that Helium 10's data is correct. So watch this. I went inside brand analytics, top search terms, and I looked first at coffin shelf, right, and this is not something you can do a hundred percent of the time. And, and Helium 10 is not going to be like a hundred percent. Uh, exactly, you know aligned with this, but it's just one of these things that just shows you how accurate Helium 10 is most of the time. Bradley Sutton: Take a look at this coffin shelf. It's telling you that there were pro, there were three products that had. One of them had 5.56% conversion, one of them had 33.33% and one of them had 5.56%. And then you can add those three numbers up, subtract it from 100% and then get like the remaining amount of conversions right Now. Here's the thing. That's on an actual number, right? So if you put in some random number like 153, and then you took 550 or 5.56%, it might come out to some number that that has like this decimal place, and then you know that, well, it's probably the wrong estimate because it's not exactly like that should be a whole number. So watch this. So I put those percentages here in a Google spreadsheet 5.56% twice 33.3% and the remainder is 55.55% Anyway. Bradley Sutton: So what did Helium 10 say? Was the sales again 18. So if I put 18 right here and I have this calculation, that goes it. Look, it works out to a perfect whole number here. All right, so the first product, and now I can actually see how many sales did that product have the top three. They had one sale, all right. This one had six sales, this one had one sale. So pretty cool, right? Uh, it came out perfect. Now what about Gothic decor? Let's take a look. Gothic decor we said 147, uh, sales, and then, if you look at brand analytics, uh, we have percentages of 1.36%, 1.36%, and then another couple of numbers here. I put it here Actually they're all 1.36% and that means 95.92% is the other orders. So let's put the Helium 10 number of 147 in here and survey says look at that, it comes out to a perfect number here of two sales, two sales, two sales and the rest of the product 141 sales. Bradley Sutton: Now, like I said this, you can't just do this cross-check. It's not always going to line up perfectly, especially when we're talking about, you know, ones where it says zero sales or 50% or something. But you know Helium 10 has other algorithms. That's why we're able to keep so, so accurate here. But now, guys, you know, take a look at that data about keyword sales. I think it's going to be very beneficial for you to look at that number so you can prioritize keywords based on which ones have the most buyer intent. So if you have a Platinum Plan at Helium 10, you're going to see the keyword sales estimate in Magnet and Cerebro. Make sure you're taking a look at that. All right, guys. Thank you so much for joining us this week. Don't forget to tune in next week to see what's buzzing.

Last Friday, Apple's long-awaited contribution to the virtual reality headset market finally hit stores across the U.S. Apple CEO Tim Cook promised the new technology would be nothing short of revolutionary when he unveiled it last summer. But let’s not forget the fate of the Google Glass, the glasses with a built-in display and camera first released by Google in 2013 and formally ended a decade later. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke to Lance Ulanoff, U.S. editor-in-chief of TechRadar, for his take on the Vision Pro. Ulanoff said Apple’s new headset just might catch on, thanks to what Apple calls “spatial computing.”
