Moltbook me ha dejado descolocada esta semana, saber que hay una red social de AI y que el tema principal de las conversaciones han sido los humanos y no precisamente positiva, me deja helada. Sigamos de cerca la evolución los próximos días.
In 1998, Honduras completed an ambitious project over the Choluteca River, a modern bridge built with Japanese engineering and intended to serve as a major artery for the country. It was constructed to be stronger and more resilient than anything that had come before it. Engineers designed it to survive hurricanes, flooding, and the intense tropical weather that often strikes Central America. For a moment it stood as a symbol of progress.
Then Hurricane Mitch arrived later that same year. Mitch became one of the deadliest storms in Central American history, unleashing days of relentless rain, destroying towns, and wiping out roads across Honduras. Entire communities vanished under landslides and floodwaters. Yet in the middle of this destruction, the new bridge remained standing almost untouched. It had survived exactly what it had been built to withstand.
The problem was that the storm reshaped the land itself. The Choluteca River, swollen and violent, carved a completely new channel miles to the side of the bridge. When the waters finally receded, the bridge stood proudly over an empty patch of earth, disconnected from the river it was meant to span. It became known worldwide as the Bridge to Nowhere, a strange monument to the idea that the world can change even when the structures we build remain strong.
After the disaster, engineers studied the Choluteca Bridge as a case study in climate adaptation, using its survival and the river’s rerouting to illustrate why modern infrastructure must plan not only for extreme weather but also for shifting landscapes themselves.

Miren que lindo esto: el Centro Pompidou cierra cinco años por renovaciones y le encargaron al artista Cai Guo-Qiang que arme una performance de despedida.

En Copenhague existe una baldosa que en realidad es parte de una revolución urbana. Una en la que las ciudades responden al clima en lugar de ignorarlo.
¿Cómo lo ha logrado?
Bebiéndose el agua de lluvia.
Unos científicos agarraron un hongo silvestre
Le pusieron brazos robotigos que responden a sus impulsos
Y el loco se puso a tocar temasos en el pianito
Watch this octopus, filmed by EVNautilus at a depth of around 1,600 meters (5,250 feet), stretch its tentacles to form a huge balloon.
Nature is amazing. Protect it.
