Talleres and Defensa y Justicia are meeting in an Argentine football fixture in Córdoba, with the city's municipal authorities deploying a public order operation around the stadium.

Elon Musk suggested that money of the future could be measured in watts and energy, framing value in terms of power rather than traditional currency. Analyst Charles Edwards responded that Bitcoin already operates under this energy-based model, since the cryptocurrency's value and security are tied to the electricity consumed in mining it. The exchange has sparked renewed discussion about energy-backed money and Bitcoin's role as a store of value.

An analysis by Apollo Global Management finds that, apart from the largest technology companies, corporate America has not yet seen financial gains from artificial intelligence. The finding suggests AI investment has so far concentrated returns among a handful of Big Tech firms, with most businesses still waiting for measurable returns on their AI spending.

Scientists and commentators are highlighting that Earth's energy imbalance — the difference between sunlight absorbed and heat radiated back to space — is roughly 1 watt per square metre, a small-sounding figure that multiplies across the planet's surface into enormous trapped heat. Some are suggesting practical responses, such as making roofs reflect light or generate electricity instead of absorbing heat, to nudge the balance back.

In El Salvador, lawmakers have issued a committee opinion approving reforms that would increase prison sentences for drivers who endanger or harm others and would prohibit reconciliation agreements between reckless drivers and their victims. The measure aims to remove the possibility of settling such cases out of court, a practice critics say let dangerous drivers avoid meaningful punishment.

A French-language joke is circulating comparing tech billionaires playing a game of drawing the short straw, where whoever has the smallest GPU is the one stuck with the task. The quip riffs on the AI race among wealthy tech figures, mocking how compute power, measured in GPUs, has become the scorecard separating winners from losers.
