Se ha publicado el EU Gender Equality Index eige.europa.eu/gender-equal...
Al ritmo actual, la igualdad de género plena aún está a más de 50 años de distancia y las mujeres en la UE aún necesitan trabajar 15 meses y medio para ganar lo que los hombres ganan en un año. La buena noticia: España es 4ª.

These women helped to shape quantum mechanics — it’s time to recognize them
An astute book redresses our collective perception of a field that became known as ‘boys’ physics’.

“Why AGI Will Not Happen” by Tim Dettmers.
timdettmers.com/2025/12/10/w...
This essay is worth reading. Discusses diminishing returns (and risks) of scaling. The contrast between West and East: “Winner takes all” approach of building the biggest thing vs a long-term focus on practicality.

It’s good to see papers start to address LLMs as structural plagiarism — provenance, more hidden than the original words or training data. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

This paper contains some good arguments about an issue that concerns me a lot when I hear my colleagues talking about LLM use in developing their research:
Whose ideas are you presenting as your own?
(Though the fatalist argument the authors make at the end of paper is disappointing/bizarre.)

We are on a brink of an unprecedented revolution in science that will change forever how science is done and what it means to be a scientist! Instead of having to do all our writing, reading and thinking ourselves, we will now be able to spend all our time on debunking wrong AI-generated papers!
OpenAI leadership are promoting a paper in Physics Letters B where GPT-5 proposed the main idea — possibly the first peer-reviewed paper where an LLM generated the core contribution. One small problem: GPT-5's idea tests the wrong thing. My technical comment: scirate.com/arxiv/2512.0... 1/
![As part of a broader effort to demonstrate AI’s po-
tential in scientific research [1], OpenAI executives have
pointed to a recently published paper by Hsu [2] as evi-
dence that AI can contribute original ideas to physics [3,
4]. Hsu credits GPT-5 with proposing the core idea of the
paper de novo, possibly the first published physics article
where the main idea came from an LLM, and discusses
the methodology in a companion piece [5]. We examine
whether GPT-5’s criterion is correct.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uknpj5mh4cfutreceecdbv7x/bafkreia3jerjfcqdui45n4upaqci5u5r6st7o7pqmdzahhjtidtostpooq@jpeg)

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
