The Biodiversity Crisis: How We Can Protect Our Fauna and Flora

 In recent decades, the world has witnessed an accelerated loss of biodiversity, a crisis that threatens the very existence of numerous species and endangers the stability of ecosystems. This worrying decline in the diversity of life on Earth, known as the Biodiversity Crisis, requires urgent attention and concrete action to reverse its devastating effects.

Biodiversity: A Treasure in Danger

Biodiversity is the variety of life in all its forms, from microorganisms to plants and animals. However, factors such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change and overexploitation of resources have led to an alarming decline in biological diversity. Species loss not only affects individual organisms, but also has serious consequences for humanity as we depend on biodiversity for food, medicine and essential ecosystem services.

The trick to deactivate the viewing of an Instagram chat

 

The Meta social network has several functions that not all users know about. All the details.

Instagram hides several tricks within its configuration, which improve the user experience within the  Meta social network. A specific example is the option to hide “viewing” of private messages, which can be done in simple steps.

The club that everyone wants to belong to is called The Social Hub and it is a hotel, coworking... and much more!

 

We knew it was a different space, a hybrid concept that unites four-star hotel rooms, short- and long-stay accommodation, and space for coworking, but we have also found out that The Social Hub has what they call membership, which includes a monthly subscription (starting at €99 ) and gives you access to the three rooftops (bar, pool and solarium), gym, video game room, restaurant, cafeteria and play room. In the two The Social Hubs in Spain (you have them in Madrid and Barcelona) and in all the rest of Europe, which you can visit knowing that you have your home there.

Okay, this membership thing is not even remotely a new concept, but after knowing – and enjoying – the version of The Social Hub hotel, the coworking and the 'epicenter of cultural events', we found out about that we can be members of a club to which so many want to belong is like uncovering the jar of the essences of a concept that is breaking it wherever it opens new complexes (currently there are already in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Holland...).

Specifically, The Social Hub of Madrid has an advantage, mainly because it is located in the capital's new golden triangle (Gran Vía, Plaza of Spain and Royal Palace), just occupying the old building that housed the Rivadeneyra printing press and of which, currently and on the outside, 'even the walkways' are preserved. Another thing is the interior: apart from the common spaces, 330 rooms await guests, who can find short- and long-term accommodation available.

Chatbots Might Be 'Hallucinating' More Often Than Many Realize

When San Francisco startup OpenAI debuted its online chatbot ChatGPT late last year, millions were captivated by the quasi-human way it answered questions, wrote poetry and conversed on almost any topic. But what most people took a while to realize is that this new type of chatbot often makes things up. ‌ When Google introduced a similar chatbot several weeks later, it generated meaningless data about the James Webb Space Telescope. The next day, Microsoft's new Bing chatbot offered all kinds of false information about Gap, Mexican nightlife, and singer Billie Eilish. Then, in March, ChatGPT cited a half-dozen bogus court cases while drafting a 10-page legal brief that a lawyer filed before a federal judge in Manhattan. ‌ Now , a new startup called Vectara, founded by former Google employees, is trying to find out how often chatbots deviate from the truth. The company's research estimates that even in situations designed to prevent this from happening, chatbots make up information at least 3 percent of the time and up to 27 percent. ‌ Experts call this chatbot behavior “hallucination.”
