La carrera hacia una IA general sigue acelerando, pero ni sus propios creadores se ponen de acuerdo. Esta semana, Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel de Física por sus avances en redes neuronales, discutió con Mustafa Suleyman, jefe de IA en Microsoft: Hinton cree que las máquinas podrán pensar, mientras Suleyman lo niega rotundamente. Nos lo cuenta Marta Peirano.Escuchar audio

When the market drops, most people panic.They see red… and start running.But in the Trap, we see something different... opportunity.Family, let me put you on game: when the market goes low, assets go on sale.That's when real wealth is built, not when everything's booming.Right now, even the Magnificent 7, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Google, and Tesla, are taking pullbacks.And instead of loading up, people are selling off.

No surprise to me that there's a glut of apartments on the market  I saw the potential for this oversupply happening in San Diego a couple of years ago. It seemed anywhere you drove within a short distance you would see the construction of new apartment buildings. It is not just here in San Diego though as the glut of apartments is happening around the country. With the dynamics of supply and demand, if you're looking for an apartment today, you're in for a treat. In September rental rates had the steepest drop in more than 15 years. Landlords are now offering months of free rent, gift cards, free parking and some are even paying for your moving expenses just to get you to sign a lease. You may want to play hardball because in some areas they'll even cut the rent on top of all those incentives. In September, 37% of rentals agreed to concessions like months of free rent. What caused the problem for landlords is during the early years of the pandemic, developers could not begin building apartments fast enough, especially in the Sunbelt area where there was a major population migration. It became the biggest apartment construction boom in 40 years, but because of the delay of construction permits and labor shortages, development took much longer than they had hoped. It seemed no one looked around to see all the apartments going up, and now they're all competing with each other for renters. The landlords are hoping they can raise rents by the end of 2026 or at least sometime in 2027, but I don't think they are factoring in how many apartments are online with more still to come. Based on the current apartment inventory and new apartments coming online, renters could be in for lower rent maybe perhaps until 2028. This will not be good for the housing market because rent for houses will be the next to fall and then people will have to factor in the affordability of renting vs buying a home. This would also likely hurt the demand for buying rental properties as an investment if you can't get as much rent as you thought.    Are the large hyperscale companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet inflating earnings?  Michael Burry, who was made famous by "The Big Short", made the claim that some of America's largest tech companies are using aggressive accounting to pad their profits. He believes they are understating depreciation expenses by estimating that chips will have a longer life cycle than is realistic. Investors are likely aware of the huge investment these companies are making in AI, but they likely don't understand how the accounting of the investments work. If a business makes an investment in these semiconductors/servers of let's say $100 B, that doesn't hit earnings when the money is spent as under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, they are instead able to spread out the cost of that asset as a yearly expense that is based on the company's estimate of how rapidly that asset depreciates in value. From what I've seen, these companies are generally depreciating their Nvidia chips for over 5 to 6 years. This seems to be a stretch considering Nvidia is on a 1-year chip production cycle, and the technology is changing quite rapidly. Burry estimated that from 2026 through 2028, the accounting maneuver would understate depreciation by about $176 billion and if Burry is correct, hyperscale's will have to write off AI capex as a bad investment, due to depreciation-useful life mismatch. This would then produce a major hit on earnings. While I remain a believer that AI is here to stay, I do believe there will be some big-time losers in this space given all the money that is being spent. Be careful chasing the hype as I do worry the fallout for some of these companies could be larger than many things possible. Burry has also warned this year that AI enthusiasm resembles the late-1990s tech bubble and recently disclosed put options betting against Nvidia and Palantir. He also stated that "more detail" was coming November 25th, and that readers should "stay tuned." I know I'm definitely curious what other information he has!    China is no longer just manufacturing; they are also beginning to innovate.  For many years innovation was generally done here in the US, and we would have the products manufactured in China. China is no longer happy with this arrangement, and its research and development spending is up nearly 9% a year well above the 1.7% here in United States. In 2024, China filed 70,160 international patents which was about 16,000 more than the 54,087 patents the US filed. China also seems to be more advanced in robotics installing 300,000 industrial robots in 2024 compared with roughly 30,000 industrial robots in the US. It also has been noted that when it comes to worldwide sales of electric vehicles, 66% came from China. While these developments seem positive for China, the country is still experiencing problems with a slowing economy as they have seen fixed asset investment decline and a slowdown in retail sales. The population of China has also declined over the last three years, and the real estate market after four years has really taken away a lot of household wealth. China's public and private debt continue to climb rapidly, which is becoming a problem for them as well. It is estimated that China is spending around $85-$95 billion on AI capital spending yet their economy is struggling as noted by the China Merchants Bank which talked about a 11% decline in consumption among customers and retail loans are now under pressure. China's exports to the US are down 27% because of the tariffs, but worldwide their exports are up 8%. It was recently reported that Beijing banned foreign AI chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel from government funding data center buildouts. Currently, China cannot pass the US and its allies in producing the most advance semiconductors, but they're making very good progress in developing mid-level chips and parts of the AI ecosystem. The US must continue to forge ahead because if we rest, China will be the world dominant power    Financial Planning: 50-year Mortgage: Helpful or Hurtful? A 50-year mortgage is being discussed as a way to reduce monthly payments and help with affordability, offering borrowers slightly lower costs that could help them qualify for homes otherwise out of reach. Critics argue that these loans would saddle buyers with far more interest paid to banks and that many borrowers would never pay off such a long mortgage, but those arguments often miss the bigger picture. Paying a low rate of interest to a bank is not inherently bad if it allows someone to invest money elsewhere at higher returns, just as today's homeowners with 30-year mortgages at 2% benefit greatly from not paying them off early. Also, most mortgages today are never fully paid off anyway because homes are sold, or loans are refinanced long before they reach maturity. A 50-year loan would be no different, especially since borrowers could always pay more than the minimum if they wanted to accelerate payoff. In practice, savvy investors would likely use the freed-up cash flow from 50-year mortgages to invest in higher-return opportunities, but most borrowers probably wouldn't resulting in slower wealth accumulation for the masses without addressing the root cause of housing affordability. If used correctly, this loan could be a useful tool, but I fear the overall impact could be damaging.     Companies Discussed:  Axon Enterprise (AXON), Zoetis Inc. (ZTS), Elf Beauty Inc. (ELF),Sweetgreen Inc. (SG)

Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane discuss investors dumping tech shares as shutdown relief evaporates. What is going to shift sentiment back in the positive direction? Are we headed for a repeat of the dot com era? Markets no longer view the December rate cut as a sure bet, with Fed officials casting doubts. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon to retire in January after nearly 12 years leading retailer. U.S. to cut tariffs on bananas, coffee and other goods from four countries. Nearly 900,000 new homeowners are underwater on their mortgages, signaling a troubling shift in the housing market. Amazon and Microsoft back effort that would restrict Nvidia's exports to China.

Fears around a big tech AI bubble are still weighing on markets, but the source of frothiness could instead be from the private AI markets. Startup losses are the engine of the boom, and every dollar they burn on compute turns into revenue for a megacap player like Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Een derde van de waarde is verloren gegaan sinds de piek van het aandeel Oracle in september. Toen explodeerde de koers nog na een deal met OpenAI. Dat ging voor 300 miljard dollar aan clouddiensten afnemen, en daar waren beleggers nogal blij mee. Maar in de afgelopen weken lijken ze van gedachten veranderd. Er is wat twijfel geweest over de hoge waarderingen van techaandelen, er is wat gesnoeid in die waarderingen ook. En Oracle komt er niet best uit: die daalt het hardst van allemaal. Zijn ze de enige, of de eerste die het te verduren krijgen? Het antwoord op die vraag hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het ook over het dubbele afscheid van de week. Warren Buffett schreef een afscheidsbrief, en de beruchte Michael Burry sluit de deuren van zijn investeringsfonds. We vertellen je welke lessen je van deze 2 gurus moet onthouden. Je hoort over de eerste kwartaalcijfers van CVC Capital sinds hun intrede in de AEX. Die eerste paar maanden zijn niet fantastisch geweest. Het aandeel lijkt dit jaar alleen maar te kunnen verliezen. Terwijl CVC zelf juist nog nooit zo veel geld binnenharkte. En we hebben ook nog twee sappige verhalen voor je. Want twee grote klanten van Nvidia blijken keihard te lobbyen voor wetgeving die Nvidia liever niet van kracht ziet worden. En bij Aston Martin blijkt de bestuursvoorzitter op eigen houtje gesprekken te voeren om het bedrijf van de beurs te laten halen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ireland has emerged as a global leader in the AI era, ranking fourth worldwide for AI diffusion (adoption and usage) according to Microsoft's latest AI Diffusion Report. This achievement reflects Ireland's strong digital infrastructure, skilled workforce, and commitment to innovation, placing Ireland alongside nations like Singapore, the UAE, and Norway in shaping the future of technology. Globally, AI is spreading at an unprecedented pace. The report reveals that 1.2 billion people have used AI tools in under three years, making AI the fastest-adopted technology in history, outpacing the internet, personal computers, and smartphones. For Ireland, this rapid uptake signals a thriving ecosystem where businesses and individuals are embracing AI to boost productivity, creativity, and competitiveness. Recent research from Trinity College Dublin, in partnership with Microsoft Ireland, reinforces this trajectory. The AI Economy Index 2025 predicts that AI could add €250 billion to Ireland's economy by 2035, with 91% of organisations already using AI - nearly double 2024's figure. However, the study highlights the need for inclusive skilling and governance to ensure SMEs and the public sector keep pace. Insights from Microsoft's Ireland Work Trend Index 2025 further underline AI's transformative role in the workplace. Adoption is up 27% year-on-year, with 54% of workers believing AI skills broaden career opportunities and 41% saying AI helps them work smarter. Yet, access and training gaps remain, making employer-led skilling critical to unlocking AI's full potential. As AI becomes a general-purpose technology, Ireland's position shows what's possible when innovation meets investment. The challenge now is ensuring responsible and inclusive adoption so every organisation and worker can share in the benefits. To fully participate in an AI-driven economy, people need the digital skills and technical proficiencies to use AI tools productively and responsibly. Without this foundation, AI risks becoming a technology that only a segment of society can leverage, deepening inequality rather than broadening opportunity. Catherine Doyle, General Manager, Microsoft Ireland, commented; "I'm delighted to share that Ireland ranks 4th globally for AI diffusion - a testament to the creativity, ambition, and collaboration happening across the country. The AI Diffusion Report, published by Microsoft's AI for Good Lab, reveals that Ireland stands out as a global leader, behind only Singapore, the UAE, and Norway. This achievement reflects the strength of our digital infrastructure, our skilled talent base, and our national commitment to innovation. Ireland's position shows what's possible when innovation is matched with investment. As AI becomes a general-purpose technology, our focus must remain on inclusive access and responsible deployment to ensure its benefits are shared by all." Note: Ranking is adjusted for population size (per capita basis) to ensure fair comparison between countries. Read the full AI Diffusion Report here. See more stories here.

Javier Cabrera, analista de XTB, cree que “venimos de un escenario demasiado optimista” al analizar la jornada de caídas con la que ha despertado Europa. En el consultorio de bolsa de Radio Intereconomía señalaba que resulta curioso el desplome porque los resultados no han sido tan malos: “Hay mucha incertidumbre. Se mezclan cuentas que no han gustado mucho y venimos de un sentimiento demasiado positivo”. El experto respondía a las consultas de los oyentes que iban desde gigantes tecnológicos como Nvidia, de cara a la presentación de sus resultados la próxima semana; como otros títulos como Técnicas Reunidas o Merlin del mercado español Tecnología y sector A la hora de analizar el momento del sector tecnológico y el miedo inversor en torno a ella, subrayado la importancia de diferenciar entre las empresas que trabajan directamente con la IA o que la IA es su negocio en sí. Sobre ellas se mostraba contundente: “Ahí sí podemos ver en muchas empresas una burbuja, están cotizando en múltiplos muy elevado y si se frena la inversión en IA van a sufrir. Por otra parte hablaba de las empresas que se basan en la IA para desarrollar su negocio y que tienen una actividad aparte, como Meta, Microsoft. Bajo este paraguas, Cabrera advertía: "Yo creo que las primeras tienen riesgo actualmente, pero eso no quiere decir que se vayan a desplomar ipso facto sin embargo, sí es una apuesta arriesgada. Y las segundas, podrían corregir si se reduce la inversión en IA pero tienen una posición de mercado más fuerte". El oro y sus fundamentales A la hora de analizar la buena evolución de los metales preciosos esta semana, el experto de XTB se mostraba optimista con el oro: "los fundamentales que lo han impulsado siguen estables" y apuntaba cómo los bancos centrales siguen comprando el metal precioso. También, a la hora de analizar el oro señalaba que hay que ligarlo a la debilidad del dólar

OpenAI zet een nieuwe stap richting sociale chatplatforms: ChatGPT krijgt groepschats waarin de AI als volwaardig groepslid meepraat, opdrachten uitvoert en gesprekken structureert. De functie wordt nu getest in Japan, Nieuw-Zeeland, Zuid-Korea en Taiwan, maar de vraag is of en wanneer Nederland volgt—waar AI in chatapps nog nauwelijks is omarmd. Tegelijk wordt ChatGPT 5.1 uitgerold, met natuurlijker conversaties en minder “robotachtig” taalgebruik. Met de introductie van groepschats positioneert OpenAI ChatGPT niet langer uitsluitend als digitale assistent, maar als actief onderdeel van een gesprek tussen maximaal twintig gebruikers. Het systeem werkt vergelijkbaar met WhatsApp-groepen: deelnemers hebben eigen gebruikersnamen, maar ChatGPT reageert ook autonoom op opdrachten of discussies. Daarmee schuift de technologie richting een social-media-achtig model, in een markt waar Meta al fors inzet op AI-integraties in WhatsApp en Instagram. De functie wordt gekoppeld aan de nieuwe ChatGPT-versie 5.1, die menselijker klinkt en beter inspeelt op langere, wisselende gesprekken. In Nederland stonden veel gebruikers sceptisch tegenover Meta AI in hun chatapps. Wanneer de functie voor Nederlandse gebruikers wordt uitgerold is niet bekend.

Het bedrijf zegt binnen enkele dagen met nieuwe informatie te komen, wat de geruchten over een mogelijke overname door partijen als Tencent, Microsoft of EA nieuw gewicht geeft.

AI-genererade skådisar, översättare, jurister och programmerare arbetsmarknaden förändras snabbt. Samtidigt är det redan många som går arbetslösa. Vilka är vinnarna på framtidens jobbmarknad? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Majoriteten kommer påverkasSkådespelare och musiker har redan fått konkurrens av band som The Velvet Sundown och den konstgjorda filmstjärnan Tilly Norwood. Men de allra flesta branscher och anställda kommer att påverkas av AI framöver. Framförallt tjänstemän. ”AI möjliggör nu för första gången i historien att tänkande arbete kan utföras av maskiner”, säger Magnus Lodefalk, nationalekonom och forskare vid Örebro universitet och Ratio.Tecken på AI-effektVissa har påverkats ordentligt redan. ”De administrativa tjänsterna har minskat kraftigt de senaste två åren”, säger Tobias Brännemo, chefekonom på Unionen. Andra tecken på AI-effekt ser man hos stora internationella teknikbolag, som Microsoft, Amazon och IBM, som gjort sig av med tusentals anställda. Och vissa, som Klarnas vd Sebastian Siematkowski, tror att AI kommer ta över mängder av jobb – det är bara en tidsfråga.Men hittills syns det inga dramatiska effekter i studier och forskning. ”Den stora effekten blir kanske inte att jobb tillkommer eller att jobb försvinner”, säger Magnus Lodefalk.Programledare och producent:Hanna MalmodinMedverkande och röster i programmet:Magnus Lodefalk, docent Örebro universitet och affilierad forskare Ratio Anders Jelmin, reporter Sveriges radioTobias Brännemo, chefekonom UnionenMaria Elinder, utvecklingschef AlmegaSebastian Semiatkowski, vd Klarnaekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, get ready for a new Ice Age. Microsoft founder Bill Gate's logic is that the climate “doomsday” perspective is, thankfully, wrong, and climate change will not lead to our demise. This doomsday perspective means we prioritize short term emissions goals instead of reducing poverty and disease. Also the debate on tariffs continue, Trump and Vance have slight disagreement on immigration and should illegal immigrants hold a CDL to be truck drivers.

I'm trying something new: differentials. Each episode, I'll pick one ocular sign and one ocular symptom, and walk you through everything that could cause them. This week: the mysterious “abnormal red reflex” and the all-too-common “my eyes are burning.” From cataracts and retinoblastoma to blepharitis and bad makeup glue, I'm breaking down the real possibilities, one red, irritated eyeball at a time. It's part med school, part comedy, and yes, you might just become an honorary ophthalmologist by the end of it. Takeaways: Why an “abnormal red reflex” might mean anything from cataract to retinoblastoma. The simplest test pediatricians use to spot dangerous eye conditions early. How blepharitis and clogged oil glands cause that all-too-familiar burning sensation. The surprising eye problems linked to makeup, contact lenses, and preservatives. Why ophthalmologists love differentials and how this new series might just teach you to think like one.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1195: Toyota doubles down on hybrids with a $14B battery bet. Waymo hits the freeway ahead of Tesla in the autonomy race. And OpenAI unveils a “warmer” GPT-5.1 with customizable personalities and smarter responses.We'll be at Automobility LA at the LA Auto Show next Thursday, November 20 hosting the LA Auto Show Sessions. Thanks to our friends at Cars Commerce and Curbee for making it possible. 25% off registration with code MoreThanCars. https://laautoshow.com/meShow Notes with links:As U.S. EV momentum slows, Toyota is increasing its already big bet that hybrids, not full electrics, are the future of American green driving, anchored by a massive new battery plant in North Carolina.Toyota's new $14B plant in Liberty, NC is its largest U.S. battery investment yet.The facility will power hybrid production in Kentucky and Alabama, with plans for EV and plug-in hybrid output.Roughly half of Toyota's U.S. sales are already hybrids or EVs, led by hybrid-only Camry and Sienna models.The RAV4 will become 100% hybrid in 2026, with plug-in sales expected to quadruple.“Regardless of where the regulation goes, we will have the capacity to support our compliance needs,” said David Christ, Toyota North America brand chief.Waymo has a commanding lead in the autonomous vehicle race now launching the first-ever robotaxi service on highways across three major U.S. cities. The move distances it even further from rivals like Tesla and Zoox.New highway service rolls out in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, initially for limited riders.This milestone extends Waymo's reach to San Jose and introduces airport pickups at San Jose International.The Waymo Driver has shown 91% fewer serious-injury crashes compared to human drivers.Waymo now operates over 2,500 vehicles and has logged more than 100 million driverless miles.“The Waymo Driver does not get tired, does not lose focus and does not make emotional decisions behind the wheel,” said project manager Jacopo Sannazzaro.OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5.1, calling it a smarter, more engaging upgrade to its August release of GPT-5—complete with expanded personality settings and model matching enhancements.GPT-5.1 includes “Instant” and “Thinking” variants, optimized for speed, clarity, and task persistence.New personality presets include Candid, Quirky, Nerdy, Cynical, and more, adding tone flexibility.Users will begin to see model auto-matching and personalization tools in settings.The upgrade follows user backlash to GPT-5 and competition from Anthropic powering Microsoft tools.“We're well past the point of one-size-fits-all,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Microsoft, No One Wants Your AI In Windows! by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert is joined by Stijn Geeroms, Vice President Business Solutions, Cegeka, for a conversation on Cegeka being named Microsoft's Partner of the Year for supply chain.Key TakeawaysAbout the company: Cegeka is a global IT company headquartered in Belgium. It has around 10,000 professionals across Europe and North America. Geeroms describes Cegeka as a "Microsoft-first partner," as it offers solutions for the various Microsoft solution areas. The company also specializes in a number of industries. "We're very proud to also be recognized by Microsoft on our journey," he says.Key efforts and vertical industries: Since the start, Cegeka has been focusing on manufacturing. More specifically, it has honed in on process manufacturing. When saying they "focus efforts" in a particular area, Geeroms clarifies that this refers to four layers: added capabilities, pre-configuration, understanding industries, and agents. Before the introduction of AI, Geeroms notes, "We might have said that ERP might break productivity, but it was mainly streamlining their processes and giving them insight." But now, it's bringing new opportunities for productivity with Microsoft solutions.Customer example: Cegeka recently went live with a large pharma customer. "We went live in almost nine months, which I think, for that industry, is very fast and a broad scope," Geeroms explains. It involves planning, warehousing, sales, procurement, and more. Because they focus on pre-configuration, they were able to accelerate the adoption and validation processes required for that industry. Now, Cegeka is working with that customer on implementing agents and automation to make the platform more efficient.Market demands: The rapid transformation that Cegeka was able to do with that customer demonstrates the pace of change as well as the pace of innovation that AI is bringing. "They demand from us a solution fitting to their requirements as fast as possible...Once they're on it, they're continuously thinking of improvement on optimization," he says. This is what the market is demanding. "It's no longer a one-shot; it's like a life method." Visit Cloud Wars for more.
