“Mark Zuckerberg acaba de describir la muerte de la conexión humana en internet y nadie se inmutó.”
“Una frase. Quince años de erosión en doce palabras.”
“Mark Zuckerberg: ‘Las redes sociales comenzaron siendo principalmente un espacio donde las personas interactuaban con sus amigos. Y ahora… al menos la mitad del contenido es básicamente gente interactuando con creadores.’”
“Antes abrías tu teléfono para ver qué estaban haciendo tus amigos.”
“Ahora lo abres para ver a desconocidos.”
“Tú no elegiste esto. El algoritmo lo eligió por ti.”
“Puso a prueba a tus amigos contra desconocidos optimizados.”
“Tus amigos perdieron. Cada vez.”
“Un desconocido con mejor iluminación, mejor timing y un mejor gancho captó tu atención tres segundos más que alguien que te quiere.”
“Así que el algoritmo enterró las fotos de la boda de tu mejor amigo debajo de un video de cocina de alguien en Dubái a quien nunca has conocido.”
“Y viste el video de cocina.”
“Ese fue el primer reemplazo. Amigos por desconocidos. Apenas lo notaste.”
“El segundo ya está en marcha.”
“Si el algoritmo ya demostró que los desconocidos superan a tus relaciones reales, y la IA ahora puede crear un desconocido más atractivo que cualquier humano vivo, las cuentas se hacen solas.”
“La IA no tiene una mala semana. No publica algo descuidado y pierde el favor del algoritmo. No se agota.”
“Cada palabra calibrada.”
“Cada imagen ajustada.”
“Cada pausa colocada en el intervalo exacto que evita que tu dedo se deslice.”
“Un creador humano compitiendo contra eso es como tallar tabletas de piedra en un mundo que acaba de inventar la imprenta.”
“La economía ni siquiera se acerca.”
“Una persona necesita pagar renta, dormir y motivación.”
“La máquina necesita electricidad.”
“Cuando el costo de generar contenido perfecto llega a cero, el feed se llena de rostros que no existen.”
“Voces que se sienten familiares.”
“Opiniones que reflejan las tuyas lo suficiente como para generar confianza.”
“Personalidades creadas desde cero para sentirse como alguien a quien conoces desde hace años.”
“No sabrás cuándo ocurre el cambio.”
“Ese es el punto.”
“Al feed no le importa si lo que capta tu atención tiene pulso. Le importa si te quedas.”
“Y una máquina que conoce tus patrones mejor que tú mismo siempre te retendrá más tiempo que cualquier persona.”
“Esto no es una advertencia. La mitad ya ocurrió.”
“Perdiste a tus amigos frente a desconocidos y no lo notaste.”
“Perderás a los desconocidos frente a las máquinas y los llamarás amigos.”
“En algún lugar, en otra app, en otra pestaña, en la habitación en la que estás sentado ahora mismo, alguien que realmente te conoce está viviendo un momento que nunca verás.”
“No porque haya dejado de compartirlo.”
“Sino porque dejaste de estar donde ocurría.”
Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched.
One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words.
Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.”
You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing.
Now you open it to watch strangers.
You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you.
It tested your friends against optimized strangers.
Your friends lost. Every time.
A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you.
So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met.
And you watched the cooking video.
That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed.
The second one is already underway.
If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself.
The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out.
Every word calibrated.
Every frame tuned.
Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving.
A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press.
The economics are not even close.
A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation.
The machine needs electricity.
When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist.
Voices that feel familiar.
Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust.
Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years.
You will not know when the switch happens.
That is the point.
The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay.
And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could.
This is not a warning. Half of it already happened.
You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice.
You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends.
Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see.
Not because they stopped sharing it.
Because you stopped being where it was.

#EuroPCR 2024 Major LBT – LANDMARK
Previous head-to-head comparisons of new THVs with established devices confirmed no class effect of clinical benefits after #TAVI with inferior safety & efficacy for some of them.
Validation of MyVal non-inferiority to the most widely used balloon-expandable and self-expandable platforms is therefore significant.

Where are we with drug-coated balloons (DCB) in PCI? Five thoughts.
1) The use of DCB in patients with in-stent restenosis, especially of a bare metal stent, is well established and evidence-based (now also in the US).
2) Conversely, DCB use in de novo disease lacks compelling clinical trial data. Use in small vessels and diffuse pattern disease is the most promising indication to date. Results of two ambitious trials (SELUTION De Novo AND TRANSFORM II) will define the role of DCBs in de novo disease going forward.
3) Growing experience with short DAPT and DES limits added value of DCB angioplasty in high bleeding risk patients.
4) The good performance of current generation DES in acute coronary syndromes questions the unmet need for this indication.
5) Robust data for DCB use in bifurcation PCI, where the provisional approach is dominant, is lacking.

Factor XI (FXI) has recently emerged as a pivotal contributor to intraluminal thrombus formation and growth, playing a limited role in sealing vessel wall injuries. Nevertheless, the halt of the OCEANIC-AF trial has raised uncertainties about the future of this class. As frequently observed in cardiology, there is a risk of transitioning from excess enthusiasm to excess pessimism.
Various compounds inhibiting FXI have undergone design, testing, and progression to phase 2 clinical trials, demonstrating a generally favorable safety and tolerability profile. However, validation through large-scale phase 3 trials with sufficient power to assess both safety and efficacy outcomes is needed.
This review comprehensively examines FXI inhibitors, delving into individual classes, exploring their pharmacological properties, evaluating the latest evidence from randomized trials (including OCEANIC-AF) and offering insights into future perspectives.
