La IA trae de vuelta la voz e imagen de Stan Lee

Stan Lee volverá gracias a la inteligencia artificial y a la tecnología de ElevenLabs. La empresa especializada en IA anunció este 27 de mayo una alianza con Stan Lee Universe, compañía que controla los derechos del legendario escritor y referente de Marvel, para recrear “la voz, la imagen y el espíritu” del creador de personajes como Spider-Man, X-Men y Black Panther, entre otros.

La voz del creador de superhéroes ya está disponible en dos aplicaciones. La primera es ElevenLabs Iconic Marketplace, una plataforma que permite a los usuarios utilizar las voces de celebridades como Michael Caine, John Wayne, Judy Garland, Thomas Edison y Enrique Rocha para proyectos creativos mediante licencias autorizadas. La segunda es ElevenReader, aplicación que ofrece audiolibros narrados con las voces de distintas personalidades.

Según ElevenLabs, la voz de Stan Lee fue recreada a partir de grabaciones profesionales que capturan su “inconfundible calidez, ingenio y energía”, y aseguran que será fiel a la esencia del famoso autor estadounidense, fallecido el 12 de noviembre de 2018 a los 95 años.

La compañía tecnológica también anunció el lanzamiento del club mensual de lectura de Stan Lee, descrito como una celebración de la literatura que inspiraba al escritor de Marvel. El proyecto comenzará con “Treasure Island” y contempla la publicación, durante los próximos 12 meses, de una obra de dominio público en la plataforma para rendir homenaje al amor de Lee por la literatura.

Además, se informó sobre el lanzamiento de plantillas creativas que permitirán a los usuarios generar, por tiempo limitado, contenido visual con la imagen de Stan Lee para fines personales, bajo pautas de seguridad establecidas por la empresa. También se indicó que los usos comerciales requerirán una licencia gestionada a través de Stan Lee Universe.

ElevenLabs aseguró que estas herramientas fueron desarrolladas para honrar el legado de Stan Lee y ofrecer a sus seguidores “una conexión real” con la leyenda de los cómics.

How scary is a democratic socialist candidate? Apparently not as scary as a MAGA one

(CNN) — The rise of democratic socialists in recent House primaries is certainly posing problems for the Democratic Party.But as Republicans seek to make this a central issue in the 2026 midterm elections, new data indicates it might not be as big a liability for Democrats as one might think.A case in point: A new poll suggests that a democratic socialist candidate is actually less of a liability than being a MAGA supporter or being endorsed by President Donald Trump.The new CNBC poll got at this question in an interesting way. It asked registered voters whether they would be more or less likely to vote for candidates with various associations.While 50% of voters said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who describes themselves as a democratic socialist, just 32% said they would be more likely. That’s not too good.Then we get to the “but.”The numbers were slightly worse for a generic candidate endorsed by Trump. Registered voters said they were less likely to support that candidate, 52%-29%.And the numbers were significantly worse for a candidate who described themselves as a supporter of the MAGA movement. In that case, the margin was 57%-27%.Perhaps even more important than those overall numbers, the Trump-endorsed and MAGA options also engendered more passionate opposition than a democratic socialist did. (That doesn’t bode well for the GOP’s strategy since the idea is generally to scare would-be voters away from democratic socialist candidates.) So, while 42% said they were “much less likely” to back a democratic socialist, that number was 46% for a Trump-endorsed candidate and 50% for a MAGA candidate.The poll also suggested registered voters might becoming more okay with at least a little bit of socialism.While 44% of voters said “some form of socialism” would be bad for the country, 51% of Americans said so in a 2019 Gallup survey.And another 40% of registered voters said some form of socialism was a “good thing.” (The US government already has forms of socialism like social safety net programs. And Trump has pursued some socialistic policies like having the federal government take ownership stakes in various businesses.)Somewhat similarly, the Pew Research Center in a recently released survey found a declining percentage of Americans said they disliked political leaders who identified as democratic socialists.The poll, which was conducted in January, showed 38% said they disliked such leaders. That was down from the mid-40s in 2021 and 2022. And the percentage who said they disliked such leaders “a lot” was 28% — down from 34% earlier this decade.To the extent the percentage of respondents who strongly object to democratic socialists is between 28% (from the Pew poll) and 42% (from the CNBC poll), that might help Republicans motivate some GOP base voters who feel strongly about the subject. And that’s politically valuable, especially in a midterm year in which Democratic voters appear significantly more enthusiastic than Republican ones. One of the most valuable things in politics is an effective boogeyman.But democratic socialism doesn’t seem to be an issue that alienates even close to half the electorate. In other words, it doesn’t seem likely to sway swing voters as much as it did before.So Republicans might want to start worrying that MAGA appears to be an even bigger boogeyman than the big boogeyman they were counting on.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
