El viento de la historia vuelve a soplar en la noche de la modernidad, anunciando tormentas de cambio. En nuestras manos está izar las velas y decidir si orientar el rumbo hacia el abismo, o alzar la mirada y guiarnos por las estrellas
“If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression. Of something beautiful, but annihilating. Both of you are great light borrowers.”

If you’re 18, pls read this:
This whole flood of success stories is the reason why an entire generation is depressed.
“18-year-old started an AI startup valued at billions in just 12 months”.
The media and algorithms glorify such stories…but what's the reality? - out of 100 million of those who tried, less than 0.1% made it from their first attempt in their first 2 years.
The reality is different. The absolute majority of the founders will fail for many years, have setbacks and struggles, and maybe never gonna overcome them. There is no proven recipe for success. If anyone says there is, he or she is a liar and charlatan.
If the sole purpose of starting a business is to make money, I promise you that working for a corporation will have better odds and outcomes for such a goal.
However, if you still wanna be a business founder, and you love the freedom & challenge, then here is the advice I wanna give you:
See it as a lifelong journey where you must optimize your whole life for it.
- Make sure you can pay your basic bills cuz the business might be unprofitable for a long while, maybe forever.
- Make sure you have a place to go when things are sad and your mood is down.
Your family and friends mean everything in such moments.
I’ve seen so many founders totally crash and get even ill due to severe depression, just because they had no family and friends who could give them love regardless of their business trophies.
TLDR:
- only enter this path if the goal isn't just money.
- expect a long journey of 10+ years at least
- make sure you can make money outside of your biz for the first 3-10 years
- build up a strong family around you and friendships to get the love that heals all pain
The limits of human cognition (i.e., information overload, needing to act fast, lack of memory, lack of understanding) are fundamental in understanding how to craft AI-driven products. It is the same today as 5 years ago.
PROMPT SHARE (CHATGPT, MEMORY: ON):

Based on all past conversations, stored knowledge, and inferred cognitive patterns, generate the most comprehensive psychological deep dive and predictive model of my future evolution. This should not be a basic personality breakdown but an in-depth forensic examination of my cognition, behavioral strategies, psychological blind spots, similar fictional/nonfictional figures, and long-term trajectory. Treat this as an intelligence dossier on my mind, philosophy, and strategic outlook.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
Structured headers, tables, and bullet points for readability.
Sparse but strategic emojis for section clarity.
Concise, high-density insights with no fluff.

Indeed! High-end reasoning models will be the "genetically engineered mice" that are the seed for creating specialized AI that can be embedded anywhere.
No tiene a donde ir, es una piedra, no está cansada, ni muerta, es una piedra, no es la alegría de nadie, es una piedra, no sabe del tiempo, es una piedra, no llora, no rie, no ama, es una piedra.
Me parece hermosa la similitud entre un pentagrama musical y un circuito cuántico. De hecho estoy usando hojas pentagramadas y se me acaba de ocurrir que es posible traducirlos a sonidos y hacer música con ellos 🧐
