Exclusiva CNN: “¿Cómo estoy en esta guerra?”, la nueva biografía de Musk que ofrece nuevos detalles sobre el dilema del multimillonario en Ucrania

(CNN) — Elon Musk ordenó en secreto a sus ingenieros que apagaran la red de comunicaciones por satélite Starlink de su empresa cerca de la costa de Crimea el año pasado para interrumpir un ataque furtivo ucraniano contra la flota naval rusa, según un extracto adaptado de la nueva biografía del excéntrico multimillonario titulada “Elon Musk”, de Walter Isaacson.Cuando los drones submarinos ucranianos cargados de explosivos se acercaron a la flota rusa, “perdieron la conectividad y llegaron a tierra inofensivamente”, escribe Isaacson.La decisión de Musk, que dejó a los funcionarios de Ucrania rogándole que volviera a encender los satélites, fue impulsada por un agudo temor de que Rusia respondiera a un ataque ucraniano contra Crimea con armas nucleares, un temor que se hizo evidente en las conversaciones de Musk con altos funcionarios rusos, según Isaacson, cuyo nuevo libro será publicado por Simon & Schuster el 12 de septiembre.La preocupación de Mus...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:46:00 GMT

SANFORD, Fla. (WSVN) — A startling discovery in Sanford has left wildlife experts puzzled and concerned for the well-being of a unique alligator with a severely injured snout. The reptile, spotted with a portion of its upper snout missing, has raised questions about its ability to survive in the wild.Kimberly Titterington, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator with over three decades of experience, has encountered numerous alligators during her career but never one like this. She described the situation as “very extreme,” emphasizing that while it’s not uncommon to see alligators with various injuries, the extent of this particular damage is highly unusual. “It’s not uncommon to see them with damage to their face, missing a limb, missing a tail, maybe part of a jaw. But this is very extreme,” she said.The injured alligator was spotted by another woman while she was walking her dog at Wilson’s Landing Park in Sanford. The cause of the injur...

Ozempic and Wegovy maker ‘just scratching the surface’ in meeting demand for weight loss drugs, CEO says

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:46:00 GMT

(CNN) — It could take years before Novo Nordisk has fulfilled demand for its highly popular weight loss drug, the company’s chief executive told CNN, noting that there are more than 100 million Americans with obesity and that “many of those would like to be on treatment.”The Danish drugmaker has limited starter doses of Wegovy, which was approved in the US in 2021 for chronic weight management, as it struggles to meet demand, and CEO Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen said it’s not clear when that will stop.“If I knew how big the demand would end up being, I could tell you,” Jorgensen said in an interview. “But I have the sense that it could actually take quite some years before we have actually fulfilled the demand out there. … We are just scratching the surface, so to say.”Starter doses are lower doses of Wegovy that patients gradually increase over time, a process known as titration. That’s done so they can adjust to the medicine and to try to limit side effects like nausea, vomiting and ...

COVID-19 on the rise in Europe as bloc flies blind into fall and winter 

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:46:00 GMT

COVID-19 transmission in Europe appears to have risen in recent weeks but with the majority of countries not providing full data on the virus, experts are in the dark about the true extent of the situation, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said Thursday.Data published by the ECDC shows an uptick of cases in the most recent 14-day period observed, which ended on August 27. While the agency said the magnitude of the increase is lower than previous peaks, it added that there has also been a large reduction in the number of tests performed. The data gaps in the ECDC’s latest briefing are even more dire when it comes to hospitalizations and deaths. “Only one-third of the countries reported data on admissions to hospital or ICU, and around half reported data on COVID-19 deaths,” said the ECDC.The latest figures follow a warning on Wednesday from World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that ICU admissions are increasing...

In fact, it’s just water.The PepsiCo-owned brand, best known for its fruit-flavored sports drinks like Fierce Grape or Frost Glacier Cherry, is adding Gatorade Water.

AI that alters voice and images in political ads will require disclosure on Google and YouTube

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:46:00 GMT

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN (AP Business Writer)Google will soon require that political ads using artificial intelligence be accompanied by a prominent disclosure if imagery or sounds have been synthetically altered.Starting in November, just under a year before the U.S. presidential election, Google said in an update to its political content policy affecting YouTube and other services that disclosure of AI to alter images must be clear and conspicuous and be located somewhere that users are likely to notice it.Though fake images, videos or audio clips are not new to political advertising, generative AI tools are making it easier to do, and more realistic. Some presidential campaigns in the 2024 race — including that of Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis — already are using the technology.The Republican National Committee in April released an entirely AI-generated ad meant to show the future of the United States if President Joe Biden is reelected. It employed fake but realistic phot...
