One year later, the staggering energy shortfall to power the AI revolution rises from 36GW to 44GW. At $60BN per GW, this is $2.5 Trillion in grid funding needed and EXCLUDES the $2 Trillion needed to build the actual data centers (source Morgan Stanley).
🛡️ ¿Y si el proveedor de nube falla? Amazon nos acaba de mostrar el riesgo real
Un error técnico en Amazon Web Services (AWS) dejó fuera de línea por más de dos horas a sitios de bancos, gobiernos, apps de pago, juegos.
Y hasta plataformas como WhatsApp o Coinbase.
No fue un ataque. Solo… falló.
La caída ocurrió en una de sus regiones más grandes (Virginia, EE. UU.).
Afectó a empresas y gobiernos de todo el mundo.
No por un error en sus sistemas, sino por algo más básico: demasiada dependencia de un solo proveedor.
⚠️ ¿Por qué esto importa?
AWS no solo hospeda sitios.
También corre apps críticas, APIs, pagos, backups, y herramientas de comunicación.
Y aunque es confiable, cualquier fallo puede paralizar tu operación.
💡 ¿Qué deben hacer las organizaciones?
Evaluar qué tan concentrada está tu infraestructura en un solo proveedor.
Diseñar planes de contingencia multicloud o híbridos.
Revisar qué servicios dejarían de operar si AWS (o su región principal) cae 2 horas.
Hoy, que se cayó AWS y hay muchas aplicaciones afectadas, es lindo día para volver a escuchar a Richard Stallman contándonos en @dominiodigital sobre LA NUBE.
What just happened?
At 10:57 AM ET, President Trump canceled his meeting with China and said "massive" tariff increases are coming.
40 minutes later, the S&P 500 erased -$1.2 TRILLION of market cap.
Is this dip a BUYING opportunity? Let us explain.

This is unprecedented:
Software and technology investment's contribution to US Real GDP growth surpassed 1 percentage point for the first time in history.
Contribution has DOUBLED over the last several quarters.
It has also exceeded the previous peak reached during the Dot-Com Bubble in 1998.
However, after the bubble popped, software and technology businesses were the biggest drag on GDP during the 2001 recession.
Deutsche Bank estimates that without technology spending, the US economy would have been close to, or in, a recession.
The AI boom is driving economic growth.
New Chip Reads Human Inner Monologue.
Researchers at the Stanford University built a BCI that could decode inner speech—the kind we engage in silent reading and use for all our internal monologues. The problem is that those inner monologues often involve stuff we don’t want others to hear. To keep their BCI from spilling the patients’ most private thoughts, the researchers designed a first-of-its-kind “mental privacy” safeguard.
The work started with collecting data to train AI algorithms that were supposed to take neural signals involved in inner speech and translate them into words. The team worked with four participants, each almost completely paralyzed, who had micro electrode arrays implanted in slightly different areas of the motor cortex. They were given a few tasks that involved listening to recorded words or engaging in silent reading.
Based on this data, the team found representations of inner speech in the signals recorded in the same regions of the brain that are responsible for attempted speech.
This immediately raised a question: whether a system trained to decode attempted speech could sometimes catch inner speech by accident. The team tested that with an attempted speech decoding system they developed in one of their previous studies—and it turned out it totally could.
“We demonstrated that traditional BCI systems that were trained on attempted speech could be activated when a subject was looking at a sentence on the screen and imagined speaking that sentence in their head,”

Now, Wall Street has chosen its next industry to monopolize:

Here’s how they’re turning the most essential resource into their next monopoly and the alternative no one talks about: 🧵
