‘Galactica’ is Meta’s new LLM (Large Language Model) for science in open-source and beta testing. It is based on 48 million publications to identify relevant patterns: this in theory, in practice the first reactions of those who have tried it (I haven’t) are very negative, AI intelligence by Alberto Romero
Anyone who thinks of using text-generative AI as text-to-image applications is wrong. Unless you create your own customized product, as WSJ did years ago for example, writers find valid support in AI writing applications, not a magical substitute. The question is explained here very well by whoever produced one of the best applications out there, innovation intelligence by Every
Apple And (Not) Transparency Towards Customers (Cybersec 4 All)
Industry experts had said it for some time: contrary to what has been publicized, Apple does not update old operating systems from a security perspective. In other words, an official document dated 24 October states that ‘not all known security issues are addressed in previous versions…’: previously the official version was that security updates continued for two years. Worse and worse, cybersec by Ars Techica
From another point of view, that of privacy, it has been found that the devices, even if they are set by the user not to send data to Apple about the use of apps (another flagship of Apple communication) they do it the same, cybersec by Gizmondo

Crypto
Saint Kitts and Nevis, the small Caribbean island state famous for its beaches and offshore companies, has declared through the voice of the prime minister that it wants to integrate the Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency into its economy, economic intelligence
After about a year that Bitcoin is legal currency in El Salvador, the question becomes more complicated. On the one hand, albeit slowly, payments are starting to work for remittances and tourist flows. On the other hand, the government bought a lot of BTC before the price crash, and is now dealing with the loss in an context of very high external debt. Finally, according to the vice president of El Salvador, China has offered to help, through the purchase of bonds, the refinancing of the debt itself: however, the matter has not been confirmed by any Chinese exponent, economic intelligence
Facilitated Development Of Drone-Based Technologies
