Sou ja conscients que, des d’aquesta setmana, Antoni Gaudí serà ja considerat un dels 3 o 4 millors arquitectes de la història, si no el millor?

Altres van també excel.lir, però Gaudí va definir una cosmogonia pròpia.

A toothpaste company has quietly killed the entire market research industry and nobody is talking about it.

Colgate published a paper showing you can predict real purchase intent at 90% accuracy by simply asking LLMs to roleplay customers.

And this is beyond insane.

If you ask an AI, "Rate this product from 1 to 5," it gives safe, middle-of-the-road garbage.

So researchers invented a method called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR).

Instead of asking the AI for a number, they asked it to roleplay.

They gave the LLM a demographic profile. They showed it a product concept. And they asked it to write down its raw, unfiltered thoughts.

Then, they used a semantic model to translate those written thoughts into a numerical score.

The results are staggering.

Tested against 57 real corporate surveys and 9,300 actual human responses, the synthetic AI consumers matched real human buying behavior with 90% reliability.

They perfectly mirrored how different age brackets and income levels react to price changes.

And they provided detailed, qualitative feedback that was deeper and more critical than what actual humans wrote.

This destroys the economics of traditional market research.

You don't need to wait a month to see if a product will sell.

You can simulate 1,000 hyper-targeted customer interviews overnight.

You can A/B test pricing across every demographic instantly.

Veiem per primera vegada la torre de Jesucrist il·luminada!
L'espectacle de llum iniciat des de la base fins a la il·luminació de la creu ha culminat amb una composició de llums guiats per drons, que han dibuixat la figura Gaudí i la frase «primer l'amor, després la tècnica».

Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.

The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

3Blue1Brown’s new video explains why every LLM is actually a compression machine.

everyone describes pre-training as “next token prediction” but that’s just the surface-level objective.

in reality it is a means to making the most efficient text compressor.

prediction and compression are two sides of the same coin.

when you train the model to predict the next token you’re not just teaching it to guess the next word but how to best encode the human knowledge it sees.

better compression
means better abstraction
means better reasoning

at some point, compression stops looking like storage or a database (as some like to call it on X)
and looks like an approximation of understanding.

The human heart is not filled by accumulating experiences, possibilities, or temporary guarantees; it is filled when it discovers a call, when it understands that life reaches fullness only if it is given. Following Christ does not impoverish existence, but expands it. #ApostolicJourney
