Para muchos usuarios en todo el mundo, generar contenidos de forma automática a través de la Inteligencia Artificial, es algo cada vez más habitual. Nos referimos a crear tanto textos como imágenes, o incluso códigos de programación, en cuestión de segundos. Al mismo tiempo tenemos la posibilidad de mantener charlas con estos chatbots cada vez más avanzados, o recibir todo tipo de información actualizada. Tanto es así que son muchas empresas tecnológicas que en estos momentos se están adentrando en este interesante sector tecnológico. Aquí entran en juego gigantes tales como Microsoft o Google que están teniendo un papel fundamental. Pero a pesar de la importancia de estas compañías, quizá uno de los grandes referentes en este sentido sea OpenAI y su po[CENSORED]r ChatGPT. Seguro que la mayoría de vosotros en alguna ocasión ya habéis probado esta plataforma inteligente. Pues bien, ahora os vamos a hablar de uno de los proyectos más recientes de esta firma que nos permite generar voz ultrarrealista. Hace unos meses que OpenAI comenzó a hablar de este nuevo contenido que tendríamos la posibilidad de generar de forma automática mediante Inteligencia Artificial. En concreto esto se produjo durante el evento en el que se presentó GPT-4o en el pasado mes de mayo. Aquí la firma utilizó su último gran modelo de lenguaje como base para hacer una demostración de un modo de voz avanzado para el chatbot. Lo cierto es que la voz resultante sonaba muy natural, tanto es así que incluso generó cierta controversia. Esto se dio cuando la actriz Scarlett Johansson acusó a OpenAI de utilizar su voz sin permiso para una de esas voces. Entonces la empresa negó que se basara en su voz, pero también anunció que no la utilizaría en el futuro para evitar confictos. Problemas de la IA para crear voces de OpenAI A continuación y unas cuantas semanas después, en concreto en el mes de julio, un reducido número de usuarios de ChatGPT Plus probaron una versión alfa de esta función de voz. Pues bien, os contamos todo esto porque la compañía ha revelado en su cuenta X (Twitter) que ahora ya está disponible para muchos más suscriptores de ChatGPT Plus y ChatGPT Team. Es más, la compañía afirma que esta IA para generar contenidos de voz realistas llegará a todos los usuarios Plus y Team de ChatGPT a lo largo de los próximos días. Además, se han añadido nuevas instrucciones personalizadas y nuevas voces mejoradas, en concreto tres voces femeninas además de otras dos masculinas. Sin embargo, en primer lugar nos vamos a encontrar con un serio inconveniente si queremos disfrutar de esta nueva función inteligente. Y es que para poder crear estos contenidos que os comentamos, tendremos que pagar, por el momento no hay una modalidad gratuita. Por otro lado, también nos vamos a encontrar ante el inconveniente de que esta IA de voz realista no se va a poner a disposición de todos los países. Por el momento podemos afirmar que no estará disponible en ciertas partes del mundo, como la UE o el Reino Unido. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/metabits/openai-ia-generar-voz-realista/?_gl=1*18g6z1b*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTM5NzAxOTAzLjE3MzM0MTY4OTg.*_ga_V7MHJCHBFK*MTczMzQxNjg5Ny4xLjAuMTczMzQxNjg5Ny4wLjAuMA..

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is the South Korean company's latest addition to its Galaxy A series of smartphones, and it is a midrange handset that runs on Android 14, and the company has promised up to six major Android OS upgrades. Its direct competitors in the same price segment (under Rs. 20,000) are the Poco X6, Realme Narzo 70 Pro, Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G, Moto G85, OnePlus Nord CE Lite, as well as Samsung's own Galaxy M35 5G model. Pricing for the Galaxy A16 5G is set at Rs. 18,999 (8GB+128GB) and Rs. 20,999 (8GB+256GB), but how does it fare against similar smartphones in a very competitive price segment? After spending some time with the handset since it was launched in India, here are my thoughts. Samsung Galaxy A16 5G: S-Tier Design Dimensions - 164.4 x 77.9 x 7.9 mm Weight - 192g Colours - Blue Black, Gold (In this review), Light Green In recent years, Samsung's midrange and premium midrange smartphones have started to resemble its flagship models. We saw this with the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 (Review), and now the Galaxy A16 is the latest phone from the company to bear a resemblance to the Galaxy S24. There are some notable differences, though — the Galaxy A16 5G has a polycarbonate back with plastic edges. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/reviews/samsung-galaxy-a16-5g-review-7132632#pfrom=indepth

President Joe Biden made history Sunday when he granted a pardon to his son Hunter Biden for criminal convictions on gun and tax charges. The power to grant pardons for federal crimes is uniquely bestowed by the Constitution on only the US president: “… he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Presidents have doled out pardons to friends and donors, to political allies, and to make political points, but no president until Biden has pardoned his son. In a statement, Biden argued his son’s criminal cases “came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.” He argued Hunter Biden faced prosecution — in particular for the sole charge of lying on a form required to buy a handgun — only because he was the president’s son. Certainly Republicans have long tried to tie Hunter Biden’s lucrative business career to his father. And don’t forget, it was then-President Donald Trump’s attempt to get Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden’s ties to a natural gas company that led to his first impeachment. Hunter Biden’s personal struggle with addiction and his business career, built on his father’s name, have clearly been political liabilities for Joe Biden. The federal investigation into Hunter Biden has been a yearslong event; it began in 2018 during the Trump presidency and continued throughout Joe Biden’s administration. With the pardon, Biden broke a clear public promise not to interfere with the justice system on his son’s behalf, something that will now stain his presidential legacy. Only two other presidents have pardoned family members, according to Alexis Coe, author of “You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington.” ► Bill Clinton pardoned his half-brother Roger for drug charges. ► Trump pardoned his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner, who had been convicted of witness tampering, tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions. Kushner is now in line to be US ambassador to France. Coe wrote for CNN in 2023 about the long list of presidential sons, in particular, causing problems for their fathers. She told me the framers did not anticipate the pardon power being used for close relations. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/01/politics/joe-biden-presidential-history-pardon/index.html?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc

A coalition of automakers sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, requesting that he leave the Biden administration's electric-vehicle regulations in place. The letter was sent by John Bozzella, president of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, on behalf of its member automakers. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation is made up of 42 automakers including Ford and General Motors. An organization of 42 automakers has urged President-elect Donald Trump not to kill off existing EV tax incentives and emissions regulations, as part of a letter in which the group shared its stance on a range of automotive policies such as automated driving and roadway safety, according to a new story from the New York Times titled "Automakers to Trump: Please Require Us to Sell Electric Vehicles." (Trump is pictured above in a photo from 2020 with the ill-fated Lordstown electric pickup truck.) The letter, dated November 12, was sent by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation whose members collectively sell the vast majority of new vehicles in the United States each year. Car and Driver reached out to Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, which are all members of the organization, asking for comment. Representatives for Ford and General Motors pointed us to the letter sent by Bozzella and the Alliance and declined to comment further. A representative for Stellantis responded to C/D with the following statement: "The New York Times story characterizing Stellantis as preparing to lobby the incoming Trump Administration to preserve EV mandates is not accurate. Stellantis was not among the 'lobbyists and officials from several car companies' the story cites as its sources. In fact, Stellantis's CEO has repeatedly said that the company is uniquely well positioned to adapt to any policy changes President-elect Trump might make because its multi-energy platforms can easily flex to accommodate a wide range of powertrain options from internal combustion to full battery-electric." Perhaps surprisingly, the regulations the automakers want to keep in place are the same regulations that aim to curb tailpipe emissions and will ultimately force the industry to switch to producing electric vehicles. The letter, signed by John Bozzella, president of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, says that the auto industry can only be successful if it is allowed "stability and predictability in auto-related emissions standards." The issue for automakers is that many have already invested billions of dollars into electric-vehicle research and development and may fear being undercut by subsidized internal-combustion alternatives. The fact that most automakers operate by planning years into the future underpins this concern about governmental policy changes. Designers and engineers are already working on models that likely won't be seen by the public until 2028 or later, and they're all being designed with the current set of regulations in mind. "The worst thing of all for the automakers, even worse than a difficult regulation, is a back-and-forth swing every four years," Stephanie Brinley, an analyst for the Auto Intelligence service at S&P Global Mobility, told the Times. Along with concern over emissions regulations, the letter from the Alliance shows that many automakers are also worried about losing the $7500 tax credit supplied under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Elon Musk's Tesla is not part of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, and according to a separate New York Times report, Musk wants to remove the tax credit. The same report quotes Musk as saying removing the credit "would be devastating for our competitors" but less damaging to Tesla itself. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a63010777/automakers-petition-trump-ev-policy/

Actor Ekin Koç called seaside Antalya home before conquering the world of Turkish film. Here are his picks, from hiking the Lycian Road to catching a concert at the Aspendos Theatre. Though its name may be less familiar to overseas travellers than Istanbul, the Turkish resort city of Antalya is no stranger to visitors. Founded by the Ancient Greeks as Attalia in the 2nd Century BCE, Antalya has since been occupied by the Romans, the Seljuk Sultanate and the Ottomans; even withstanding a brief Italian occupation after World War One before Turkey claimed independence. Today, Antalya – the crowning jewel of the Turkish Riviera and, along with Istanbul, one of the world's most visited cities in 2023 – attracts both families and A-list celebrities with its 2,000-year-old Old Town and stunning turquoise waters. Sometimes, the celebrity strolling Antalya's spectacular seashore is actually a native. We caught up with Antalya-born film star Ekin Koç (best known to English-speaking audiences as Turkish business advisor Kadir in HBO's Succession) to get his take on his beautiful hometown, studded by the Taurus mountains and cradled by the Mediterranean sea. "If you're from Antalya, you have a special connection with the sea," says Koç. "The sea is everywhere. We eat from the sea, we swim, we sit next to the sea. I've always loved being in connection with the sea." Koç relocated to Istanbul for university and his film career but returns to Antalya whenever he can. "Istanbul is so stuffed," he says. "It's crowded. People are in a hurry. And you're never alone. [But] in Antalya, because of the heat and the Mediterranean culture, people are more relaxed." When Koç is home, his presence inevitably spurs hordes of fans, but he loves strolling the Old Town's streets and taking advantage of the city's balmy shores and snowy mountain peaks. "You can literally go up to the mountain and ski and go back to the seaside and swim in the same day, if it's a sunny day," says Koç. "It's very unique." Here are Koç's favourite ways to experience Antalya. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20241203-a-turkish-film-and-tv-stars-guide-to-antalya-turkey

Arthroleptis taeniatus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in southern Cameroon, south-western Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea (including Bioko), Gabon, western Democratic Republic of the Congo, and probably the Republic of the Congo.Its natural habitats are shallow marshes in forest. It can be locally threatened by habitat loss. It is common in parts of its range (i.e., Cameroon). https://animalia.bio/arthroleptis-taeniatus

"Perfection", "impossible to defend", "like Stoke City!" Pundits were left purring once again by Arsenal's set-piece prowess after a series of dangerous corners led to both goals and a host of further chances in the 2-0 victory over Manchester United. Post match, manager Mikel Arteta said he hoped opponents would continue to struggle to find a solution to a strength everybody is aware of, but few can find a way to address. We have taken a look at the best stats and quotes to explore Arsenal's emergence as "corner kings" and why they are being compared to the Stoke City of Tony Pulis. Arsenal have scored 22 goals from corners since the start of 2023-24, seven more than the next highest in the Premier League, Manchester City Across Europe's top-five leagues, Arsenal are also top and five clear of Bayer Leverkusen in second (17) Mikel Arteta's side have scored 30 goals from all set-pieces (excluding penalties) in that period, accounting for 25.2% of their 119 league goals Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka have the most assists from set plays since the start of last season (7) However, Everton (50%) have the highest ratio of set-piece goals as a proportion of all goals in that same period For the ultimate comparison, Stoke's Premier League ratio under former manager Tony Pulis was 43.1% - 81 set-piece goals from a total of 188 goals. It is now the norm for elite clubs to have set-piece coaches, and in Nicolas Jover Arsenal arguably have the best. But as well as the hours of data analysis and tireless work on the training ground, another factor has been jokingly suggested as being behind Arsenal's success - a similarity to Pulis-era Stoke City, the club often cited as the archetypal direct, no-nonsense team who maximised their physical strengths. "Arsenal are the new Stoke City - depending on set-pieces to give them the win," former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov said - with a smile - on Amazon Prime Sports after the game. Portugal head coach and former Everton manager Roberto Martinez added: "We all suffered Stoke. I think it is a great credit to remember Tony Pulis." Under Pulis, 43.1% of Stoke’s Premier League goals between 2008 and 2013 (81 of 188) came from set-pieces (excluding penalties), so Arsenal aren't quite on their level yet. Perhaps a long-throw specialist in the Rory Delap ilk is needed? Other pundits and coaches were far more willing to praise the Gunners, with Gary Lineker describing the consistency of Arsenal's set-piece delivery as "extraordinary." Speaking to Amazon, United manager Ruben Amorim labelled Arsenal's corner routines "incredible, especially the way they change the games, because sometimes they are not dominating. Today [the game] was really divided, no big opportunities and then one set-piece can change the game. "You can see in every situation Saka and [Gabriel] Martinelli go outside and they cross. They know if the cross is going well they can score. If it goes for a corner, they can score." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c7084ejn1lxo

Police in New York are using facial recognition technology and a discarded mobile phone to track down the killer of a healthcare chief executive. UnitedHealthcare boss Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in the back on Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The attacker fled the scene without taking any of Thompson's belongings. Police believe the victim was targeted in a pre-planned killing. They are focusing on a surveillance image taken in a branch of Starbucks just before the shooting. Here's what we know about the suspect and the investigation The shooting took place at about 06:45 EST (11:45 GMT) in a busy part of Manhattan close to Times Square and Central Park. Thompson had been scheduled to speak at an investor conference later in the day. According to police, the suspect - who was clad in a black face mask and light brown or cream-coloured jacket - appeared to be waiting for Thompson for five minutes outside the Hilton hotel where he was expected to speak. Thompson, who arrived on foot, was shot in the back and leg, and was pronounced dead about half an hour later at a local hospital. Story in full: Police hunt gun-wielding killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny has revealed that the suspect's weapon appeared to jam, but that he was able to quickly fix it and keep shooting. CCTV footage appears to show the gunman had fitted a suppressor, also known as a silencer, to his pistol, BBC Verify has established. Video shows him fleeing the scene on foot. Officials initially said the suspect used an electric Citi Bike owned by Lyft. But Lyft, which owns and operates Citi Bike, later said it had been told by the NYPD that one of its vehicles had not been used, according to the BBC's US partner, CBS News. The investigation So far, the investigation into Thompson's killing has centred on a few clues that police are using to identify the suspect. Police revealed the suspect was photographed at a nearby Starbucks just minutes before the shooting. While he is masked in the image, police sources told CBS that the mask is pulled down far enough so that his eyes and part of his nose can be seen. With that, investigators are using facial recognition software to try to find a match. Additionally, police are testing three bullet casings and three live rounds found at the scene for DNA. The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered on the casings, according to US media reports. A mobile phone was discovered in an alley along the suspect's escape route. Police say they are "working through" the phone. Investigators also said they would search Thompson's room at the nearby Marriott, which is down the street from where the incident took place. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7ve36zg0e5o
