#LatinAmerica#AI#GenerativeAI#StartUps: "- As investment in the region slowly picks up, startups feel pressured to use generative-AI tools to increase productivity and draw potential investors.
Latin America’s startups are wary that the cost of these imported AI tools might put too much strain on their already scarce resources.
To offset the costs of paying for AI subscriptions in the long run, startups that can afford it are looking to develop their own in-house tools."

"Far-right outsider takes shock lead in Argentinian primary elections - Javier Milei, an admirer of Donald Trump, thinks the climate crisis is a lie and wants sale of human organs to be legalised
"The far-right populist Javier Milei rocked Argentina’s political establishment on Sunday by emerging as the leader in primary elections to choose presidential candidates for the October general election.
Milei, an admirer of the former US president Donald Trump, says Argentina’s central bank should be abolished, thinks the climate crisis is a lie, characterises sex education as a ploy to destroy the family, believes the sale of human organs should be legal and wants to make it easier to own handguns.
Votes were still being counted late on Sunday but analysts agreed that the upstart candidate, who gained notoriety – and a rockstar-like following – by angrily ranting against the “political caste”, did much better than expected and is a real contender for the presidency.
With about 92% of polling locations reporting, Milei had about 30% of the total vote, according to official results. The candidates in the main opposition coalition, United for Change, were at 28% and the current governing coalition, Union for the Homeland, had 27%."
On Aug. 20, Ecuadorians will vote in a binding referendum on whether they want oil drilling to continue in Yasuní National Park, one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
Environmentalists have been fighting for this referendum for nearly 10 years; meanwhile, drilling in ITT began in 2016, and today 225 wells produce 54,800 barrels of oil per day.
A candidate in Ecuador’s upcoming presidential election, Fernando Villavicencio, was assassinated at a campaign event in the capital Wednesday as a deadly escalation of violence and crime grips the country.

" #Winter#heatwave in #Andes is sign of things to come, scientists warn - Human-caused climate disruption and El Niño push temperature in mountains to 37C.
Exceptional winter heat in the Andean mountains of South America has surged to 37C, prompting local scientists to warn the worst may be yet to come as human-caused climate disruption and El Niño cause havoc across the region.
The heatwave in the central Chilean Andes is melting the snow below 3,000 metres (9,840ft), which will have knock-on effects for people living in downstream valleys who depend on meltwater during the spring and summer.
Tuesday was probably the warmest winter day in northern Chile in 72 years, according to Raul Cordero, a climate scientist at the University of Groningen, who said the 37C recorded at the Vicuña Los Pimientos station in the Coquimbo region was caused by a combination of global heating, El Niño and easterly gusts, known by locals as Terral winds that bring hot, dry weather.
Dozens of meteorological monitoring stations at more than 1,000 metres altitude recorded temperatures above 35C in winter, according to the Extreme Temperatures Around The World blog."

#LatinAmerica#Music#Streaming#Downloads#Ads: "Trebel, headquartered near Los Angeles, is taking on established music streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube in Latin America — a region that the streaming giants have long dominated. Both of those platforms also have free, ad-supported tiers, but unlike them, Trebel does not charge users to download music to their devices. In Latin America — where disposable income is tight, data is expensive, and demand for music apps is high — free downloads are a game changer for many.
Officially launched in 2018, Trebel took off last year when its user base almost doubled, surpassing 13 million monthly active users (MAUs) in April, according to company data. These numbers are still dwarfed by Spotify’s 102 million in Latin America and the more than 75 million MAUs that stream YouTube in Mexico and Colombia."
