Solo es agosto, pero creo que salvo sorpresa mayúscula, ya se puede decir: el Robot Phone de Honor es el móvil más llamativo y diferente de 2026. Ni siquiera el cambio de formato del Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 (promete ser el primero de varios y te miro a ti, iPhone fold ) le hace sombra. En un mundo tan aburrido y consolidado como el de los smartphones, Honor se ha atrevido a hacer algo muy distinto y no es un brindis al sol: pasó de prototipo en el MWC a dispositivo a la venta y tras probarlo, le

To describe the uncontrolled adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) as a “mixed blessing” is a grotesque understatement. It is better termed a miscalculated risk that reflects the world’s present sad and potentially tragic lack of responsible leadership, in Western nations especially.

The article The "tragedy of the cognitive commons" explains how rational AI adoption could destroy entire professions' expertise appeared first on T

We consider a class of jump games in which agents of different types occupy the nodes of a graph aiming to maximize the variety of types in their neighborhood. In particular, each agent derives a utility equal to the number of types different from its own in its neighborhood. We show that the jump game induced by the strategic behavior of the agents (who aim to maximize their utility) may in general have improving response cycles, but is a potential game under any of the following four condition
