Una computadora compartida o un taller tecnológico no reemplazan las políticas públicas, pero marcan la diferencia. Cada alianza entre el sector privado y público nos acerca al objetivo de que ningún joven quede atrás en la era digital.

Luego de haber reflexionado un poco sobre mi publicación reciente del Cónclave decidí profundizar un poco más enfocándome en los retos que el nuevo Papa encontrará como líder de la religión católica frente a las nuevas tecnologías.

Los accidentes colectivos pueden prevenirse
45% de las muertes por accidente de tránsito ocurren en carretera. Herramientas tecnológicas sencillas pueden reducir ese porcentaje.
Este artículo que publiqué en 2013 nos puede dar una idea de cómo hemos "avanzado" en este tema.
El presidente y el mingob creeen que la ley es solución mágica, pero no. Hay herramientas sencillas que ya deberían estar implementadas hace años.

Un fenómeno que poco a poco se va normalizando. Las razones e incentivos son muchos, pero vale la pena reflexionar si queremos una sociedad que transita a lo insensible o buscamos como deja que sea atractivo.

Estamos viviendo el auge de la xenofobia y el racismo. Podrán estar de acuerdo o no con mi opinión, pero es innegable que existe un empuje artifical a la criminalización de la migración. Generalizan a partir de casos extremos.
¿Es este es parte del futuro que queremos?

It's fairly astounding that Congress basically feels unable to push back against extraordinarily ignorant anon ExTwitter trolls because the world's richest troll retweets them.

La ruta del contenedor donde se hallaron 9.5 tons de droga
El buque donde se transportó cubre una ruta habitual en la región.
Ayer descargué datos del buque y contenedor involucrados en el hallazgo de 9,5 toneladas de droga en República Dominicana. Esto es algo preliminar, pero deja claro los lugares donde pudo moverse esa droga. medium.com/@luisassardo...

Two-thirds of news influencers are men — and most have never worked for a news organization
A new Pew Research Center report also found nearly 40% of U.S. adults under 30 regularly get news from news influencers.
Across all five social media sites, a majority of news influencers (59%) monetize their following in some way — including offering subscriptions, soliciting donations, or selling merch.

The new ChatGPT feature brings a lot of accesibility and posibilities to people who doesn´t know about coding but it´s eager to learn.
Now you can call XCode, terminal and textedit directly from the ChatGPT App (in MacOS).

An article from Fortune magazine says that Elon Musk’s AI labels him “one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X”
Grok was asked who spreads the most misinformation on X and it did not hesitate to name its own creator
"Based on various analyses, social media sentiment, and reports, Elon Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X since he acquired the platform," it wrote, later adding
"Musk has made numerous posts that have been criticized for promoting or endorsing misinformation, especially related to political events, elections, health issues like COVID-19, and conspiracy theories. His endorsements or interactions with content from controversial figures or accounts with a history of spreading misinformation have also contributed to this perception."
Musk’s own AI identifies him as a major dissemination of misinformation online
