Hello good morning!
There are those who live on dreams and today it is clear from the growing role of artificial intelligence in emotional relationships but also from hoping that Netanyahu’s weakness will lead to peace in Gaza, for now. The “transition to abandon” fossils agreed at COP28 also raises doubts.
Netanyahu is running out of oxygen. The Israeli premier loses national and international support. The hostage crisis raises the pressure but will not stop the war.
In another era would we act differently? The Israel of today is not the one of decades ago, when the left dominated. Now the conservative and religious win, but what Helen Mirren said today in this newspaper after being Golda Meir is valid: “Since the crusades there has been conflict…”
The consequences beyond Gaza for Gaza, meanwhile, grow. The latest: Accusations of anti-Semitism rock American universities and the war jeopardizes an ambitious Saudi plan to be an influential global player.
In politics the past is present… Yesterday Sánchez received more harsh blows in Europe for the amnesty. He brandished Nazism to undermine the PP and Vox pacts. The independence movement here and there, meanwhile, looks back and changes its agenda from ten years ago.
Is it the beginning of the end of oil? COP28 does not establish specific dates for this, but it reflects the commitment of 198 countries. Translation: things are not clear. And therefore here are the most basic keys to at least understand the new climate agreement.
Milei’s chainsaw in Argentina begins to get going. It leads to canceling public works, not maintaining the purchasing power of pensions and devaluing the currency against the dollar… IMF and markets support it. But the plan and the rhetoric do not coincide.
Back to the chips. In the digital economy that rules so much today, chips are essential and in few hands. It is worth highlighting that the Barcelona Supercomputing Center presents a new open source chip that will reduce dependency.

Emotional links between people and artificial intelligence systems “are increasingly common in the new loneliness epidemic,” it is argued. For example with cases in which the mother is a chatbot. So.
And what unites couples? The latest answer given by science indicates that ideology and educational level unite more than psychology and physics. As witnessed by more than three million couples included in the research.
Oh, Africa… The continent is always the great forgotten one on the world map even though no other continent has 54 members in the UN. Its role, however, is emerging. And he prefers not to align. Not even for Ukraine. Objective: another world, this one.
