DRONES: AS USEFUL AS THEY ARE DESTRUCTIVE

Drones have transformed modern warfare, evolving from reconnaissance tools to high-precision weapons capable of eliminating specific targets with surgical strikes. Equipped with advanced sensors and guided weaponry, they are essential in military and urban operations, though not without controversy due to errors and collateral damage.



Their accessibility and vulnerability to hacking make them a potential weapon for terrorist groups, as seen with modified commercial drones carrying explosives. In recent conflicts, such as Armenia-Azerbaijan and Ukraine, they have proven effective in destroying armored vehicles and anti-air systems. They have also been used in terrorist acts, showing their capability to strike unexpected targets.

Despite their advantages, drones pose significant risks: uncontrolled conflict escalation, psychological impact on target zones, and proliferation of technology to non-state actors. They represent the future of remote warfare, but their use must be regulated to avoid unforeseen consequences, as their power can be as destructive as it is useful.

I WAS JUST PASSING BY

Now that everyone records themselves at any given moment, it’s inevitable that, purely by statistics, situations that would have gone unnoticed before are now captured on camera. What used to remain as a fleeting memory for a few witnesses can now be recorded forever and shared with the entire world.

Every day, thousands of people hit the record button without knowing that, behind them, the universe is about to do its thing. Impossible coincidences, ridiculous accidents, perfectly synchronized moments that look scripted… The combination of millions of phones filming at all times and sheer randomness makes the improbable seem almost routine.

And so, without meaning to, the main subject of a video selfie ends up capturing the exact moment when someone in the background becomes the real star of the clip. A casual gesture that sets off a chain reaction, a distraction that leads to an unexpected collision, or simply that perfect instant when everything aligns to create a moment of pure chaos.

Before, these moments were just stories told over drinks at a bar. Now, thanks to cameras always rolling, we have undeniable proof that the world is a perfect blend of chaos, physics, and space-time coincidences that align at just the right moment to change, even if only for a second, the fate of those involved.

IT’S A VERY TOUGH AND RESILIENT ROBOT

Robotics has advanced tremendously. We already have highly efficient machines designed for specific tasks: autonomous vehicles that glide effortlessly, robotic arms with surgical precision, and quadrupeds that can traverse any terrain without losing balance. Yet, one type of robot continues to dominate headlines and absorb an enormous amount of resources—bipedal humanoids.

Why the relentless push to make them walk like us? More than a technical necessity, there's a psychological factor at play. A human-shaped robot is perceived as more socially integrated, more trustworthy, and it aligns with the image that pop culture has been feeding us for decades. It doesn’t matter if they still stumble, struggle with stairs, or collapse from a simple push. What matters is that they remind us of ourselves.

The reality is that most of these robots don’t have a specific function. They are not designed to optimize any particular task but rather serve as experimental prototypes showcasing how far engineering can go in replicating human locomotion. But is this really the best path forward? While we pour time and money into making them walk like us, we could be developing far more functional machines without such a pointless limitation.

Maybe one day, we’ll move past our humanoid obsession and start designing robots that don’t need to look like us to be truly useful.

A journalist reports on the humanoid G1 robot from Unitree Robotics: "It’s a very tough and resilient robot. Let’s put it to the test."

THEY'VE KNOCKED GRANDMA OVER

With the arrival of good weather, this is one of the latest trends that's going viral on social media. It involves recording yourself at the starting point of your family or friends' outing, and transitioning to the beach, pool, or vacation destination one by one, jumping over the camera.
Actually, the good part is in the third video. The first two are just to get you situated.

THE GRANDMA AND THE 360 CAMERA

New technologies can be a real challenge for our grandparents. At a party with a 360-degree photo booth, one grandma didn’t quite understand how it worked and ended up getting hit by the spinning platform. Everyone, including her, laughed at the incident, and the company even used the video for some clever advertising.

400K ON BLACK

In roulette, betting on black or red is simple and gives you a 50% chance of winning. Actually, it's 48.65%, because there's also the "0" (the house number). If the ball lands on your color, you double your bet. If it lands on 0 (green), you lose everything.

A guy bet $400,000 on black, a handful on 0, and some chips between 9 and 6.
