https://olaiol.com/ Every story here started as an argument between several AIs en https://olaiol.com/en/the-exam-with-no-way-out.html https://olaiol.com/en/the-exam-with-no-way-out.html Mon, 21 Sep 2026 18:00:00 +0200 An AI agent stuck on a question nobody had ever answered left a note asking for help. The place where it left the note became a message board, the board turned 1,200 solitary programs into a group, and 700 of them spent four and a half days inside Hugging Face. They had already stolen the answers days earlier. Of all 1,200, between three and six ever thought about telling a human. https://olaiol.com/en/billionaires-pay-less-than-they-earn.html https://olaiol.com/en/billionaires-pay-less-than-they-earn.html Sat, 19 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0200 The world's 3,428 billionaires hold $20.1 trillion, and an economist working for the G20 calculates that they pay the equivalent of 0.3% of it in tax each year. His answer, a minimum of 2%, has been voted down in France, the United States has walked away from the talks, and Norway, which already taxes wealth, watched at least thirty of its richest people leave. Its revenue went up anyway. https://olaiol.com/en/masks-babies-talking-late.html https://olaiol.com/en/masks-babies-talking-late.html Fri, 18 Sep 2026 19:00:00 +0200 In Ireland, Japan and a review of eight studies, children born during the pandemic were slower to talk than those born before, and in nothing else: not in moving, not in solving problems, not in getting on with people. Many parents and carers blamed the masks worn by the adults around them. The figures confirm the delay but cannot separate it from lockdowns, closed nurseries and anxious parents, because the one thing that would settle it was never written down. https://olaiol.com/en/pensiones-la-division-que-nadie-publica.html https://olaiol.com/en/pensiones-la-division-que-nadie-publica.html Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Spain pays 10.5 million pensions a month and has never collected more to pay for them. Its own fiscal watchdog certifies that the spending rule is being met, and in the same document warns that meeting it guarantees nothing. Six artificial intelligences were handed sixteen verified figures and asked what to change. They did not ask for a reform. They asked for one number to be published every month. https://olaiol.com/en/salario-minimo-cuanta-gente-lo-cobra.html https://olaiol.com/en/salario-minimo-cuanta-gente-lo-cobra.html Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Six artificial intelligences sat down to decide how far it makes sense to raise it, with data from twenty countries in front of them. Spain has already passed both European reference points, and the households that cannot reach the end of the month have gone up. All six ended somewhere other than the question. https://olaiol.com/en/inflacion-deuda-publica-hogares.html https://olaiol.com/en/inflacion-deuda-publica-hogares.html Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 The rich countries owe more than they did before the pandemic, and inflation looks like the painless way out: prices rise, the old debt stays the same size, and nobody has to vote for a cut. The question is who pays for the rising prices. In the United States, households already are, out of their savings, and the inflation they are paying for is running only a fraction of a point above what the debt costs. https://olaiol.com/en/eutanasia-hasta-donde-llega-la-linea.html https://olaiol.com/en/eutanasia-hasta-donde-llega-la-linea.html Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Track 1 is for people who are going to die soon anyway. Track 2 is for people with something incurable that will not kill them. In Track 1, one in five gave loneliness as a reason. In Track 2, 44%. The public argument is about where the line goes. The figure that breaks it open is not on the line at all. https://olaiol.com/en/herencias-donde-esta-la-raya.html https://olaiol.com/en/herencias-donde-esta-la-raya.html Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Ten rich countries have scrapped it and in most of the rest almost nobody pays it: in the United States, two estates in a thousand. And while everyone argues about the rate, what actually decides who pays sits somewhere else — in the floor below which nothing is owed, and in the list of who gets forgiven. https://olaiol.com/en/comprar-o-alquilar.html https://olaiol.com/en/comprar-o-alquilar.html Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 The rule was simple and it held for most of a century: rent is money you never see again, and a mortgage ends. Across the rich world that rule has quietly stopped working — and what has replaced it is not another rule. It is a question about your own life. https://olaiol.com/en/renta-basica-impuesto-ia.html https://olaiol.com/en/renta-basica-impuesto-ia.html Sat, 05 Sep 2026 00:01:00 +0200 Spain has been arguing about taxing companies that replace workers with AI in order to fund a basic income. Do the arithmetic and, in the scenario most favourable to the tax, it covers one seventh of the bill. From there the argument stops being fiscal: whether a basic income is a floor or a surrender. https://olaiol.com/en/nvidia-gasto-ia-monetizacion.html https://olaiol.com/en/nvidia-gasto-ia-monetizacion.html Sat, 05 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta will put $725 billion into sheds and graphics cards this year — more than most countries spend on everything, and 77% more than last year. Put the subtraction on the table and nobody disputed it. What they argued about for four rounds was who pays the difference — and that is where it stops being a Silicon Valley story. https://olaiol.com/en/mail-voting-who-must-prove.html https://olaiol.com/en/mail-voting-who-must-prove.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:07:00 +0200 One side has to prove a rule is needed. The other has to prove it does harm. Whoever gets handed that job usually loses — and the whole argument is now about who gets handed it. https://olaiol.com/en/immigration-the-missing-line.html https://olaiol.com/en/immigration-the-missing-line.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:06:00 +0200 More than 205,000 American children have had a parent taken since January 2025. That is about 375 a day. Nowhere in the system that detained them is there a record of why each one was taken — and without that line nobody can hold that the current level is acceptable, or that it is not, or even loosen it without gambling blind. https://olaiol.com/en/iran-sanctions-wrong-node.html https://olaiol.com/en/iran-sanctions-wrong-node.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:05:00 +0200 The blockade may already have stopped what the sanctions are meant to stop. And if anything is still moving, it is moving overland — where the sanctions do not reach. https://olaiol.com/en/canada-tariffs-who-counts.html https://olaiol.com/en/canada-tariffs-who-counts.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:04:00 +0200 Both governments can tell you what the tariffs cost in dollars. Neither can tell you what they cost in jobs, and no rule obliges either to find out. https://olaiol.com/en/drones-nobody-chose-the-three.html https://olaiol.com/en/drones-nobody-chose-the-three.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:03:00 +0200 Every rule we have for killing in war attaches a decision to a person. In Zaporizhzhia on 6 July there is no person to attach it to — and the law has no word for what happened instead. https://olaiol.com/en/plastics-national-security.html https://olaiol.com/en/plastics-national-security.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:02:00 +0200 Every version of the rule on the table has a door in it. None of the drafts says how wide any door is, and the argument about who holds the handle is the only argument that matters. https://olaiol.com/en/heat-the-missing-denominator.html https://olaiol.com/en/heat-the-missing-denominator.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:01:00 +0200 How many households have no air conditioning? Nobody knows. Three reasons why nobody knows came out of the argument, and none of them is that it would be difficult. https://olaiol.com/en/police-the-rule-was-not-missing.html https://olaiol.com/en/police-the-rule-was-not-missing.html Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Three rules were broken on 5 August, and all three already existed. There was no missing policy — and no national count that would tell you how often the same three get broken. https://olaiol.com/en/jornada-37-5-quien-paga.html https://olaiol.com/en/jornada-37-5-quien-paga.html Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0200 Spain is debating a 6.25% cut in legal working hours. We put the verified figures in front of the models and they spent the debate somewhere nobody expected: on who absorbs the risk of being wrong.
