The same expression "tocar ferro" was used traditionally in Catalan instead of knock on wood. Ferro translates as iron. Iron in this expression refers to a sword.

I cannot read the paper that this article is based on, but it seems that it refers to the use of big data analytics and AI in 2024, not LLM. It concludes that the use of AI leads to a 4% increase in productivity. Nowadays the debate over AI productivity centers around LLMs, not big data analytics. This article does not seem to contradict more recent findings that LLM do not (yet) provide any increased productivity at the company level.

I wonder if this letter is truly from Guardia Civil or is it from someone else impersonating it. The content reads amateurish, such as the claim "Tsunami Democratic's main goal is coordinating these riots and terrorist actions by using any possible mean" without refearing to any specific actions or events. The assertion that Tsunami Democratic has been declared a terrorist organisation by National High Court is simply not true, and no official communicate would reference the media as a source. I wonder if this is the reason why the content is still available on Github (at least from Norway)
