Uruguay has 3,382,552 people, and Cape Verde 530,795. This is the smallest population total by a large margin.

Gran tristeza por la muerte de la productora de cine Agustina Chiarino. Logró mucho e incluso en el exterior. Un saludo a la familia del cine y el audiovisual.
A su marido e hijas, un abrazo grande. Buen viaje Agustina

Latin America’s Data Center Gold Rush: Myth and Reality

The winners will be the countries that pair digital infrastructure with smart energy, water, talent, and industrial policies, argues Eduardo Levy Yeyati in his most recent essay for Americas Quarterly.

🇺🇾 Uruguay es el país de Sudamérica con mayor índice de uso de IA, según el informe global de Anthropic.

Índice 1.21 — usamos IA más de lo que nuestro tamaño haría prever. Y no para el ocio: desarrollo web, código, sistemas. Talento y uso real.💡
