Como nació el rey de las redes sociales: Facebook.

Facebook, la red social más grande y popular del planeta, sigue siendo un fenómeno global. ¿Quién no tiene cuenta en Facebook? Si no la tienes, es muy probable que la hayas eliminado en algún momento (aunque, vamos, que todos pasamos por esa fase de “ahora sí, ahora no”). Y es que, escapar de Facebook es casi como intentar evitar la pizza en una fiesta: simplemente no sucede. Lo cierto es que,…

have been putting together Iliaster Pokemon Teams off and on fooooor the last couple months or so... I always like to put way too much thought into teams so under the cut I have all my reasonings for these choices. I like Pokemon and I like these characters a Perfectly Normal Amount <3

BRUNO/ANTINOMY:

Lucario: feels just very much like a good partner Pokemon for him...same shade of blue, very noble and loyal, EXTREME SPEED!! something something Lucario's innate aura reading and ability to sense emotions and thoughts vs. Bruno's complicated quest to figure out who he is. I think they would be friends!!! It gets amnesia too in whatever funny Pokemon AU Bruno's situation happens in

Skitty: obligatory Bruno kitty cat pokemon <3

Armarouge: T.G. Halberd Cannon/Blade Blaster type vibes, its pauldrons literally turn into a cannon, fire type echoing the sun in the Antinomy/Yusei duel, also a very loyal Pokemon. Plus bonus counterpart to Primo's Ceruledge >:3c

Rotom: silly little guy who likes motors and electronics and machinery!! Also Bruno having a ghost type and being. yknow. a robotic copy of a dead man. I think it suits him.

Yanmega: T.G. Recipro Dragonfly, it literally has eyes covered with a red visor, it's super fast and its design echoes a vehicle (aircraft rather than motorcycle, but still.)

Registeel/Regieleki: in Tag Force 6 Bruno uses and seems to really like Machina Fortress, so I wanted to give him a big 'ol bulky Steel Type. Antinomy gets Regieleki as a counterpart because it's literally The Fastest Pokemon, probably great for Delta Accel Synchro <3 Also Modern Age/electricity/android type invocations...

Porygon/Porygon2: Bruno needs a boxy little computer friend!! Antinomy gettin the evolved form since a big part of Porygon2's lore is that it was made for space travel...thinkin bout that duel again. The Porygon line, Porygon2 especially, also has a really similar color palette to Bruno's various forms!

Miraidon: ok ive seen people give Jack Miraidon and i get it, it's his color palette, BUT LIKE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BRUNO POKEMON EVER. literal robot motorcycle from the future who washes up on the beach with limited memories!!! it has a silly goofy friendly form and a badass powered up fighter form!!! it can be the perfect counterpart to Yusei having a Koraidon!!! LISTEN.

LESTER:

Skarmory: Meklord Emperor Skiel of course!!! Violent metal bird moment!!

Wingull: in the Tag Force games Lester really likes the Stuffed Seagull Plush item and I think that's just so cute

Zorua: Little red-haired mischief-maker that can create illusions and false appearances?? IT'S PERFECT FOR HIM.

Klang: From the episode when he infiltrated the twins' school, he used Gear Golem the Moving Fortress....gotta give him some gears.

Durant: Skiel Guard! Little weird metal bugaboo :]

Iron Bundle: challenging myself to give all the Iliaster members (aside from Z-one) Future Paradox Pokemon...Lester of course gets the Bird one. It even shoots a laser like Skiel does!!

PRIMO:

Bisharp: god his whole team is just Mean Blade Guys but like. Look at Him. That's Primo. the way Bisharp commands an army of Pawniard the way Primo commands the Diablo also relevant.

Ceruledge: This is kind of the Primo Pokemon of All Time For Me--haunted grudge-powered knight that "cuts its enemies to pieces without mercy" with sword arms infused with "the lingering resentment of a sword wielder who fell before accomplishing their goal"--like... COME ON. DUDE.

Mega Beedrill: gotta shout out the iconic bee commentary of course, and also it's Another Violent Pokemon With Sharp Dangerous Blade-like Arms.

Melmetal: MEKLORD EMPEROR WISEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scizor: Metal-clad evolution of a blade-armed beast, also violent and merciless. And it does the thing where it uses its pincers to look like it has three heads--funny for one of Aporia's components~

Iron Valiant: ANOTHER PRIMO POKEMON OF ALL TIME FROM GEN 9. LIKE!!! White robot with a big dangerous sword, created by a mad science supposedly, "said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation"... THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

JAKOB:

Mega Aggron: Granel <3 Big fuckoff metal monster. I also thought it would be fun to try and give the Three Nobles each a pure Steel type Pokemon for the Robot Funsies.

Barraskewda: For Granel's bizarrely fish-like canons and components--Barraskewda also being based on a projectile weapon a bonus, too.

Skeledirge: GOTTA give one of the Nobles something that ties into their sub opera singer namesakes, plus Skeledirge's Spanish influence is perfect for Jakob/Jose. And its an aquatic-based animal like all of Granel's components, too :^)

Alolan Golem: For Jakob's big old beard and eyebrow, PLUS it's a grumpy stubborn beast that launches electric rock blasts. Just suits him imo.

Ursaring: gave myself the added challenge of giving The Three Nobles each an unevolved Pokemon that Aporia has the fully evolved form of.... Jakob gets Ursaring for their matching surly expression and eye(s) plus the Guts ability boosting Attack when inflicted with a status effect is perfect for the Gaining Power Through Suffering motif of these guys <3

Iron Hands: Freakishly powerful big bulky electric robot monster!!! Yellow color motif like Granel!!! probably one of the most Meklord-y Paradox Pokemon, to me.

PARADOX sidenote it's so fucked up he just doesnt have a tag force sprite. sad!

Origin Dialga: Since his whole deal in BBT is having a deck of stolen Legendary Iconic Dragon Cards, i GOTTA indulge and give Paradox a bunch of Legendary Dragon Pokemon!!! Origin Dialga is for the time travel and also it's just a bizarre creature that feels on par with Malefic Paradox and Truth Dragon tbh. Plus it was created by Arceus, and Pdox was created by Z-one <3

Zekrom: GEE PARADOX WHY DOES YOUR MOM LET YOU HAVE TWO UNOVA DRAGONS... he's got that whole black and white color motif with his mask/the Malefic dragon armor. And Zekrom's got an engine...like a motorcycle...

Reshiram: Beautiful long haired bishie of a dragon plus the aforementioned black and white motifs. Also the concept of wanting to make a true AND ideal new future is really fun and kind of Very at play with Paradox~

Espathra: A.) im a Psychic Duelist Paradox truther, I rly wanted to give him a Psychic type, B.) Espathra is a violent weirdo that literally has his hair color palette/style. In my mind's eye this was his partner Pokemon originally ....Paradox with a Flittle is so funny to me.

Roaring Moon: if anyone deserves an Ancient AND Future Paradox Pokemon it's... WELL. THIS GUY. Malefics are almost all Dark Dragons so give him the freakish vicious Dragon/Dark that's like a twisted version of an existing monster (much like how Malefics are twisted versions of existing cards ;])

Iron Treads: Successfully continuing to give all the Iliaster guys Future pdox 'mons...Iron Treads is a big robot tire effectively which works great for a guy who motorcycles through time!!!

SHERRY:

Lunala: For that freaky Soul Binding Gate skeleton door, also a Pokemon that is brought under Necrozma's (Z-one's) power. Sherry having Lunala and Aporia having Solgaleo also just makes me a little insane.

Florges: FRENCH. FLOWER LADY. EASY PICK.

Rapidash: For Horse of the Floral Knights/Sherry's horse shaped duel runner...i love that she's a horse girl 🥴

Teddiursa: For that TEDDY BEAR!!! And also, again, her having a Pokemon from the same line as Pokemon Aporia has is just a fun detail for me.

Tsareena: 100% female. Floral Knights/Chevalier le Fleur. Kicks and fights triumphantly.

Iron Leaves: in general Virizion is already a perfect Sherry 'mon (grass horse, based on French literature, etc.) and I imagine she originally had one before it somehow Became an Iron Leaves when she joined Iliaster :^)

APORIA:

Solgaleo: i mean. He Just Looks Exactly Like One!!!! Also Steel/Psychic is a really good type for this big miserable monster lion angel robot. Plus it can be controlled by Necrozma.

Kingambit: Evolved form of Primo's Bisharp, a powerful and intense leader that fights primarily with brute strength. It's also got an ability that boosts its power the more of its allies fall (die <3) Power through suffering!!!

Silvally: Synthetic chimera of mishmashed fused parts created in a lab :) Can only evolve and reach its true potential through friendship :))) also giving him Silvally and Z-one Arceus just to make myself a little sick in the head.

Klingklang: Evolved form of Lester's Klang, mechanical 'mon that echoes the Ark Cradle's Sun Gear(s) that Aporia protects

Ursaluna: Evolve form of Jakob's Ursaring, hulking powerful bear with big claws and a back sail that looks exactly like Aporia's big metal halo.

Iron Jugulis: MEKLORD ASTRO DRAGON TRISKELION!!!! also a hydra like Aporia's duel runner >:D

Z-ONE:

Necrozma: first of all it kind of looks like Z-one's freaky life support+huge claws contraption second of all something something Infinite Light vs. Necrozma being a light consuming monster third of all the way it can dominate and lord over Solgaleo and Lunala. pounds my fists on the pavement.

Celebi: HE'S THE BIG BAD HE GETS AS MANY LEGENDARIES AS HE WANTS and he needs Celebi of course. Time Angel :)

Omastar: Freaky ancient Pokemon that resembles the nautilus shape of Z-one's contraption...also there's something about fossils being kept alive in there somewhere I'm sure.

Mimikyu: this is like. perfect for him tbh HDHGSDFG Wears the guise of another Pokemon and pretends to be it (and I would definitely give Yusei a Pikachu,) reacts with violence and panic when pushed into a corner, Fairy type (like all the Timelords are), competitively can fill the niche of being Difficult and full of underhanded status effects and tactics and I think that's just lovely for Z-one <3 In my mind's eye I like to think this was his partner Pokemon from even before The Yusei Factkinning Event.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna: Well it's literally got the odd 'device' clamped over one of its (weird glowing) eyes and also. For Aporia <3 That's Aporia <33 Z-one's giant time-displaced apex predator with a big weird circle on its forehead <3333

Arceus: THAT'S GOD BABEYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My issues with imprinting part 3

The Flawed "Old Soul" Defense of Imprinting in Twilight

Another argument that defenders of this narrative often use is that imprinting is not harmful because Renesmee is not a "real child" in the conventional sense. As a half-vampire, she matures mentally and emotionally at an accelerated rate, leading some to claim that she is effectively an "old soul" or a miniature adult in a toddler’s body. However, this defense is deeply flawed, as it overlooks the crucial difference between intelligence and lived experience. No matter how quickly a child learns, they cannot bypass the essential developmental stages necessary for emotional maturity and autonomy.

1. The False Equivalence Between Intelligence and Maturity

Renesmee’s rapid intellectual development does not equate to the emotional and social growth required for informed decision-making in relationships. Even real-world child prodigies, despite their advanced cognitive abilities, still lack the life experiences that shape adult judgment and self-awareness. Intelligence is not a substitute for personal growth, emotional resilience, or the ability to navigate complex relationships. The argument that Renesmee is "old enough" because she learns quickly ignores this fundamental truth.

Additionally, the portrayal of Renesmee as an exceptionally mature child is problematic because it feeds into a dangerous narrative often used to justify exploitative relationships. The notion that a child can be "mature for their age" has historically been wielded to excuse predatory behavior, dismissing the inherent power imbalances between an adult and a minor. Even if Renesmee reaches adulthood physically and mentally faster than a human child, she is still growing up under Jacob’s influence, which raises serious ethical concerns about consent and autonomy.

2. The Impact of Preordained Relationships on Development

Another issue with the "old soul" argument is that it assumes Renesmee’s accelerated development allows her to engage in relationships free from manipulation or coercion. However, Jacob’s presence in her life from birth ensures that she is raised with the knowledge that he is her inevitable partner. This removes her ability to form relationships independently and develop a true sense of personal agency.

Even if Renesmee becomes aware of her future romantic relationship with Jacob as she grows, the conditioning she has experienced since birth will make it difficult for her to reject him. This is a classic grooming dynamic, in which a child is gradually prepared for an adult relationship without recognizing the coercion at play. Grooming does not require overt manipulation; it can occur simply by embedding the idea of an inevitable romantic future in a child’s mind before they are old enough to make their own decisions.

3. The Power Imbalance Between Jacob and Renesmee

Regardless of Renesmee’s rapid maturation, there remains a fundamental power imbalance between her and Jacob. As an adult werewolf with years of life experience, Jacob has a psychological and emotional advantage over Renesmee, making their future relationship inherently unequal. Even if Renesmee reaches adulthood faster than a normal human, she will still have grown up under Jacob’s watchful eye, fostering an unbalanced dynamic in which she may feel obligated to reciprocate his feelings.

This imbalance is exacerbated by the fact that imprinting is depicted as an unbreakable bond. While Jacob and other werewolves insist that imprinting is not about romance at first, the narrative makes it clear that the imprinted person is expected to eventually fall in love with their imprinter. This expectation denies Renesmee the ability to explore her own romantic choices freely and forces her into a relationship that was decided for her before she was even capable of understanding love.

4. The Broader Implications of the "Old Soul" Argument

The argument that Renesmee is not a "real child" due to her accelerated development is not only flawed but also dangerous. It reinforces the idea that intelligence can replace emotional growth and lived experience, which is simply not true. Moreover, it normalizes the expectation that a child—regardless of how fast they mature—can be conditioned for a relationship with an older figure, ignoring the long-term psychological consequences.

Even in fantasy settings, relationships should be portrayed with an awareness of real-world ethical concerns. The idea that a supernatural child can be fast-tracked into an adult relationship disregards the importance of personal growth and consent. Renesmee, despite her unique physiology, is still a child being shaped by an adult who has already determined their romantic future together. This is not a harmless love story—it is a problematic depiction of grooming disguised as destiny.

Conclusion

The "old soul" argument used to justify Jacob’s imprinting on Renesmee fails to address the real issues at play. Regardless of her intelligence or rapid development, Renesmee remains a child lacking the necessary experience to engage in a romantic relationship free from coercion. The expectation that she will one day fall in love with Jacob, despite having no say in the matter, mirrors real-world grooming tactics and sets a dangerous precedent. No amount of supernatural justifications can erase the fact that imprinting in Twilight strips Renesmee of her autonomy and normalizes deeply troubling relationship dynamics.

Round 1 of 8, Group 5 of 8

propaganda and summaries are under the cut (May include spoilers)

Kamen Rider W: 1.31 The Beast Must Be Persued / 1.32 Now, in the Radiance

A mob friend of Sokichi asks Shotaro to help him settle an old score and get what he came back to Futo for. / While under pressure of being abandoned by Philip as his Double partner for not keeping up, Shotaro tries to decipher the truth behind Bito's framing.

the show revolves around the idea of two person working together to become a one superhero entity (Kamen Rider W/Double), and this entire arc is about the hardest challenge in every relationship; what if one of us is changing and it's affecting our relationship? what would you do if that happen? would you go, would you stay? in this episode, there happens to be physical change between one half of the duo (Philip), leaving the other half (Shotaro) become incompatible to form as Kamen Rider W anymore. a mysterious entity suggested a thing to Philip; partnering with the more compatible guy, who happens to be their friend and a fellow Kamen Rider Accel, Ryu. would they reform W? or is this the end of W? Well, the answer is no, LOL. Philip considered that idea only to be shoved off immediately by Ryu. Shotaro, who was devastated with their previous battle (which they got lost terribly due to their incompatibility) decided to solve the current case all by himself, which didn't end well. He then were found by Philip who started to gave a speech who basically is just "fuck incompatibility. I want to be your partner. If that means we can't form W again, that's alright. when I choose you as a partner, that means I'm accepting not only your strength, but your flaw as well. why? because nobody's perfect*" *"nobody's perfect" was a message from Shotaro's mentor. it's actually meant for their client who took the blame of all of his friends' crimes and got sent to jail for several years. (the client asked the mentor, got sentenced, freed, returned to the detective agency cause the mentor told him he has something for him).the mentor's message is like a closure for all of things he had done for the sake of his friends. because nobody is perfect. Somehow, that message also fits the entire incompatibility narrative of the episode, and it's beautiful. so they return to fight the monster. are they still incompatible? of course. but they were so stubborn and keep fighting it, they could surpass it. thus, the main form was born, as they became more synchronized than before, and saved the day. so, for the question on the above, what is the answer for both Shotaro and Philip? they choose to stay and find a way to make it work. all of that shown on parallel with their current case's narrative, and if that's not the episode of all time, then idk what it is. idk if this could explain the episode enough, it's pretty complicated LMAO

Young Justice: 1.16 Failsafe

When the Justice League is defeated during an alien invasion, the Team has to step up and fill their mentors' shoes.

This episode genuinely rewired my brain when I watched it back in 2011. Like? It became clear by halfway through the episode that what is going isn't "real" because of course all those characters wouldn't have died, the whole plot wouldn't change like that, so it leaves the audience in a state of suspense of what's really going on. It's like an insidious feeling. Through this end of the world scenario we really see things in these characters that we wouldn't otherwise, things that disturb us. That Superboy would be willing to sacrifice his own life for others so easily without a second thought. That Robin would be so ready to let his friends & himself die. That Kidflash isn't even mad when he dies with Robin though he knows Robin planned it all along. And the gut punch at the end of the episode when you realize not only was it not real (which we predicted) but that the hallucination was because of MISS MARTIAN. The mental toll that this takes on her because she didn't mean to and the mental toll it takes on the other characters having to deal with this knowledge of themselves and their friends it just... ugh. There's great follow-up in the next episode, too, but in general I wish the show on a whole actually followed up on it better. Anyway great episode.

[theprecuresystem]

Also tell me about um. Philip and the other guy . W. SHOTARO philip and shotaro >:3

BINGO!

Your free space is "Word of Actor Gays". Yayoi got me watchin' W, as well as Fuuto Tantei, and let me tell you, these boys are GAY. There's a whole mini-arc where Kamen Rider Accel is predicted to be the final form of W along with Philip and Shoutarou gets in a HUGE slump about it because HE'S meant to be Philip's partner! THOSE TWO are partners!

There's a scene in one of the near-final episodes where Philip has to vanish for an entire year and the way Shoutarou cries about losing Philip totes BROKE me. There's even a movie where Shoutarou doesn't have Philip there to transform with and it's so painful to see him trying so hard on his own when he NEEDS his partner there with him!!! On top of that, black and green are a good color combo.

I cannot be normal about these two anymore. Yayoi showed me the excitin' world of super gay Kamen Rider ships and I fell in and can't get out. I love all types of pairings regardless of gender, but somethin' about Philip and Shou just HITS HARD. I totes love 'em

The Dubiously Needed, Unnecessarily Extensive Magia Record Stat Guide (Connect)

I'm back!

Now that all the boring math is out of the way, we can get into the really fun stuff - the actual kit!

Upon using three of their discs, a character unlocks their Connect. Connects are a form of ally support that every character has access to. In using it, an ally can borrow one of your character’s discs, alongside some unique buffs for that turn. 

As always, a visual example with our helpful protagonist, Iroha:

Iroha’s Connect: We’re Together, We’ll Be Fine

HP Restore [VIII] (47.5%)

MP Restore to Yachiyo Nanami (30 MP)

Attack Up [VI] (32.5%)

Connects typically grant two to three effects. Four effects is not unheard of, but often exclusive to limited or anniversary characters. 

The Connect is the first step in getting into the real nitty-gritty of your character’s playstyle. Maybe by now you’ve determined that you want your character to be offensive or defensive, an Accele character or a Blast character. The Connect is where you determine how that playstyle benefits your team. 

Iroha is a Heal type unit, so it only makes sense that her Connect heals an ally. It also provides a neat little Attack boost on top. But what about characters with less obvious means of support? 

Yachiyo’s Connect: I’ll Light the Way

Blast Damage Up [IX] (80%)

Critical Hit Chance [IX] (70%)

HP Restore to Iroha Tamaki (25%)

Yachiyo is an offensive character with a disc spread of Accele/Blast/Blast/Blast/Charge. As you might expect, she aims to deal plenty of damage with Blast discs. Therefore, her teammates will also want to use Blast discs, so they can chain together Blast combos and deal more damage. Yachiyo’s Connect supports her allies by giving them Blast Damage Up and a chance to deal double damage with critical hits. As an offensive character, Yachiyo’s Connect enables her allies’ offensive capabilities. 

There are many effects you can choose from to build your character’s support. There’s healing (HP Restore, MP Restore…), buffing (Attack Up, Defense Up, Damage Up…), status ailments (Poison, Curse, Charm, Bind…) and conditional effects (Ignore Defense, Damage Cut, Evade, Counter…). When I say many, I do mean MANY, and it would take far too long to explain every effect here. I would highly suggest checking out the Magia Record English Wiki’s article on skills and status effects: Skills and Status Effects | Magia Record English Wiki | Fandom. 

Thinking from a gameplay perspective can be kind of taxing, so we can always look at this another way. Rather than thinking in numbers and percentages, we can think from our own OC’s personal fighting styles. If your OC was fighting a Witch with another character, what would they do to support them? Would they cover their advance? Would they empower their weapons with their magic? Would they keep the Witch distracted, or weaken them so their teammate could make a deadly attack? A character’s Connect can be just as personality-related as it is gameplay-related. 

You may remember in Iroha and Yachiyo’s Connects that they gave a bonus effect exclusive to each other. This is another way you could add some more personality to your unit. Does your character have a teammate who they care deeply for? Maybe family, a close friend, a partner? That could be someone they could share a bonus effect with in their Connect. 

Okay, back to math for a minute. Let’s talk about percentages. 

You remember those examples I gave? Did you see how there was a Roman numeral and percentage written there? Did that instinctively make you want to roll up and cry trying to determine what could possibly be a reasonable average for every single ability in the game? (I’ve been there, don’t worry.)

Many skills, like Attack Up, actually stick to a consistent number when used in Connects and Magias. So I’ll include a list compiling all the skill percentages that are consistent among units. 

Remember that while there are patterns, deviations will happen. It’s always good to check the wiki if you’re looking for a number a little higher or lower than what’s described here!

HP Restore: 47.5%-50% HP

MP Restore: 25-30 MP

Survive: 20% HP

Attack Up: 40%

Defense Up: 105%

Damage Up: 40%

Status Ailment Resistance Up: 60%

Accele MP Up: 40-50%

Blast Damage Up: 70-80%

Charged Attack Damage Up: 25-30%

Charge Disc Damage Up: 40%

MP Gain Up: 25%

- Attribute Attack Up: 25-27.5%

Status Ailment on Attack Chance: 100%

Defense Pierce Chance: 100%

Damage Cut: 60-70%

Critical Hit Chance: 70%

Evade Chance: 100%

Counter Chance: 100%

Follow Up Attack Chance: 100%

Damage Up Vs. Enemies With Status Ailments: 45%

Endure Chance: 100%

Taunt Chance: 100%

HP Regen: 8-10%

[ad_1] Helsing uses AI to analyze large amounts of sensor and weapons system data from the battlefield.Pavlo Gonchar | Sopa Images | Lightrocket | Getty ImagesEuropean defense technology startup Helsing on Tuesday said that it's raised 600 million euros ($693.6 million) in a bumper new round of funding.The investment was led by Prima Materia, the venture capital firm founded by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek and by Shakil Khan, an early investor in the popular music streaming app. Ek is also chairman of Helsing.Existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners, Accel, Plural, General Catalyst and Saab also put money in, alongside new investors BDT & MSD Partners.Defense and the technology behind it have become a hot area for investors lately, amid major global conflicts, including the Ukraine war to Israel-Gaza. Last week saw a further escalation of war in the Middle East as Israel launched a series of airstrikes against Iran.In 2024, venture funding in Europe's defense, security and resilience sector reached an all-time high of $5.2 billion, according to a recent report from the NATO Innovation Fund. The sector grew 30% in the past two years, outperforming the broader VC market, which saw a 45% decline over the same period.Founded in 2021, Helsing sells software that uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze large amounts of sensor and weapons system data from the battlefield to inform military decisions in real time. Last year, the startup also began manufacturing its own line of military drones, called HX-2.Helsing, which operates in the U.K., Germany and France, said it would use the fresh cash to invest in Europe's "technological sovereignty" — which refers to attempts to onshore the development and production of critical technologies, such as AI.“As Europe rapidly strengthens its defence capabilities in response to evolving geopolitical challenges, there is an urgent need for investments in advanced technologies that ensure its strategic autonomy and security readiness," Ek said in a statement out Tuesday.Helsing did not disclose its new valuation following the latest financing round, which is subject to "certain approvals," according to a statement. The firm was previously valued at around 5 billion euros in a 450 million euro funding round led by General Catalyst last year. [ad_2] Source link
