Building C² Labs. Writing on AI, Latin America, El Salvador, and moonshots from the frontier.

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

First real post here.

This is the thesis:

Latin America is not a case study.

It is an ecosystem being built in real time.

And yes, El Salvador will be at the forefront of it.

Field Note 001 is why C² Labs exists.

Thank you @stacyherbert for sharing it.

EL SALVADOR AI STRATEGY IN 2024: "Not incremental ... It was much more ambitious than that."

A great (very long) read from Camila Cruz about the reason to build.

She covers some of our early efforts to lay the foundation for our AI strategy in El Salvador.

@oscxr_dev @stacyherbert @cubo_ai Thank you! So glad to hear it. Always a pleasure having you in class! 🧠✨

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

Today at @cubo_ai, I had the pleasure of returning as a guest lecturer. It was a pleasure to return to CUBO AI as a lecturer to discuss data, AI, and foundational principles and best practices guiding C² Labs’ frontier systems.🚀

How to use data to build better systems? 💡

​Camila Cruz taught the "Data as a System" class at CUBO_ai. Real-world experience, key takeaways, and practical advice on the topic!

La semana pasada finalmente compartí algo que llevamos meses construyendo. Hoy comienza la cuenta regresiva.

[C² Labs @c2labs_ai]

La semana pasada anunciamos su llegada. Hoy abrimos las puertas.

#EmTechAILATAM El Salvador 2026, la primera iniciativa pública de C² Labs, ya está en marcha: el sitio web está disponible y la venta de boletos ha comenzado.

Traer esta conversación a El Salvador es una expresión tangible de nuestra misión: crear las condiciones para que América Latina no solo participe del futuro tecnológico, sino que ayude a construirlo.

Nos vemos en noviembre.

Let’s go!🇸🇻🚀

[C² Labs @c2labs_ai]

EmTech AI LATAM El Salvador nació de una oportunidad originada y articulada por C² Labs, y hoy se construye junto con MIT Technology Review en Español, ANIA y ESEN.

Gracias por compartir la visión de abrir nuevas conexiones y oportunidades para nuestro ecosistema. 🇸🇻

[Diario El Salvador @elsalvador]

#DeDinero MIT Technology Review confirmó que su conferencia insignia de inteligencia artificial se realizará por primera vez en El Salvador, con el respaldo de instituciones locales e internacionales. ➡️ https://t.co/ETLBnUCW03

"The builders are coming, the investors are coming and the future is coming straight out of the new El Salvador."

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

Thank you for the warm welcome and support.

More to come! 🇸🇻🚀

[Stacy Herbert 🇸🇻🚀 @stacyherbert]

A new AI Lab has launched from El Salvador!

Welcome C² Labs 🇸🇻🤖

The new El Salvador is winning by President Bukele's design!

The builders are coming, the investors are coming and the future is coming straight out of El Salvador.

EmTechAI El Salvador 2026. A shared vision made possible by the union of  C² Labs, MIT Technology Review, ESEN and ANIA.

Moonshot from 🇸🇻

“Yesterday, C² Labs officially launched to the public.

Our thesis: Latin America must not limit itself to adopting the technologies that will define the future. We must participate in originating them.

This is our manifesto. And we're just getting started.”

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

Dijimos que teníamos mucho más que compartir. Empezamos por aquí.

Nuestra tesis, nuestra razón de ser y el punto de partida de lo que estamos construyendo desde C² Labs.

Este es nuestro manifiesto. More to come.

[C² Labs @c2labs_ai]

Ayer, C² Labs salió oficialmente al público.

Nuestra tesis: América Latina no debe limitarse a adoptar las tecnologías que definirán el futuro. Debemos participar en originarlas.

Este es nuestro manifiesto. Y apenas estamos comenzando.

EmTech AI coming to El Salvador is no coincidence. It is the result of a clear vision in infrastructure and education to lead the AI ecosystem in Latin America. 🚀

Agents are motivating so many healthy software habits. Open APIs, documentation (skills), tests (evals), Unix (CLIs), payment & commerce protocols, even wide 𝙰𝚌𝚌𝚎𝚙𝚝 use (markdown/json/html).

The original vision of the WWW coming to life before our eyes.

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

in problem spaces this large, marginal progress is not marginal.

if we can already see these systems changing eventually, why are we treating now as irrational?

that’s the thesis we’re leaning into at C².

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

i’ve re-read pg’s “frighteningly ambitious startup ideas” an embarrassing amount of times lately.

it keeps forcing the same uncomfortable question:

am i rejecting this because it’s wrong, or because it’s too big to look at directly?

a lot of C² lives there.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

“The biggest startup ideas are terrifying. And not just because they'd be a lot of work. The biggest ideas seem to threaten your identity: you wonder if you'd have enough ambition to carry them through.”

[Camila Cruz @CamilaCruz___]

@stacyherbert Thank you Stacy. This piece is really about the reason to build: why Latin America needs more moonshots, why AI changes the timeline, and why El Salvador is becoming one of the most important places to watch.

Field Note 001: Fighting Entropy From Here

Why I’m building C² Labs from Latin America, and why El Salvador matters.
