Emiratos Árabes Unidos saldrá de la OPEP a partir del 1 de mayo. Es uno de los mayores productores de petróleo en el mundo, por lo que su salida afectará la capacidad del cartel de determinar la oferta petrolera y su precio.

Si los aranceles permanecen a pesar de la revisión del T-MEC, en México se seguirán perdiendo empleos y la capacidad de planta utilizada también disminuirá. Con capacidad de planta ociosa, la inversión fija seguirá a la baja, con lo que la productividad y la complejidad económica también disminuirán. Las cadenas de suministro de EEUU se desvincularán de México, lo que frenará el posible crecimiento de las exportaciones mexicanas en el largo plazo. Esto implica un daño permanente a la economía de México.

A robot was torn apart during a half marathon in China It simply failed to notice an obstacle, crashed into it — and broke into pieces. Still a long way from being a “Terminator.” In the end, it had to be removed from the track, with a team brought in to evacuate what was left of the machine.

OpenAI just exited the video generation business entirely. App dead. API dead. No video inside ChatGPT. Disney’s $1 billion deal, signed four months ago, is dead. Read that again. This isn’t a consolidation into the super app. Altman told staff Tuesday that OpenAI is winding down all products using video models. Disney’s own statement says they respect OpenAI’s decision to “exit the video generation business.” The Sora research team is being redirected to robotics. The reason is sitting right there in the competitive data. Anthropic hit $19 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026 selling text and code. No video generation. No image generation. No consumer social app. No Disney deal. One product surface: chat, code, computer use, all in one place. OpenAI looked at where every dollar of market growth was coming from and saw the answer: coding and enterprise. So now they’re copying the model. ChatGPT, Codex, and the browser merge into one app. Instant Checkout killed today too. Every consumer experiment is getting cut. What remains is the Anthropic playbook: one app, code and chat, enterprise and developer focus. The Sora numbers explain the urgency. Total consumer revenue across iOS and Android since September: $1.4 million. Peak month was $540,000. Every video generation burned GPU compute that could have been running inference for ChatGPT or Codex instead. OpenAI’s own head of Sora announced generation limits because chips couldn’t keep up. At $14 billion in projected 2026 losses, every GPU matters. Google just inherited the AI video market by default. Nano Banana already lives inside Gemini. No standalone app to manage, no separate brand to support. Among the majors, they’re the only ones left. Runway, Kling, Minimax, Luma, and the other independents are still shipping, but none of them have Google’s distribution. Disney put $1 billion in stock warrants on a product that lasted six months. The deal was announced in December. Characters from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars were supposed to be generating fan videos on Sora by now. Instead, Disney is writing a polite press statement about “respecting OpenAI’s decision” while its legal team unwinds a deal that never produced a single licensed video. Four months from billion-dollar partnership to obituary. That’s how fast the AI product landscape reprices when the unit economics don’t work.
