Una reflexión acerca del Orgullo.

Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched.

One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words.

Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.”

You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing.

Now you open it to watch strangers.

You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you.

It tested your friends against optimized strangers.

Your friends lost. Every time.

A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you.

So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met.

And you watched the cooking video.

That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed.

The second one is already underway.

If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself.

The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out.

Every word calibrated.

Every frame tuned.

Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving.

A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press.

The economics are not even close.

A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation.

The machine needs electricity.

When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist.

Voices that feel familiar.

Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust.

Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years.

You will not know when the switch happens.

That is the point.

The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay.

And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could.

This is not a warning. Half of it already happened.

You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice.

You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends.

Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see.

Not because they stopped sharing it.

Because you stopped being where it was.

@martinvars so happy to see this…

Funny how OpenAI might have saved Google.

At a party, an OpenAI guy named Dan challenged Sergey: “What are you doing? This is the greatest transformative moment in computer science,” and Sergey went right back into founder mode.

Googlers probably love Dan. Sam probably not lol.

Traffic to Lovable, Cursor and others is going down rapidly, probably because we reached MVP stage, but not production grade, where senior engineers are still very much in need.

A week in AI Agents is like a year in traditional software. 

Here is everything that happened this week in AI Agents from AgentOps, Google, Microsoft, Langchain, AutoGen, Arcade, n8n, Linear, & more. 🧵

@inakib @Redpoint agreed. because of it, the adaptation into truly disrupted value added products will take time. it’s not linear, it’s orthogonal. fast evolution in the tech stack, slower in the product layer.

1000x!

"1000x is the factor by which the cost of AI has fallen in just 3 years - from $60 per million tokens with GPT-3 in 2021 to $0.06 with Meta's Llama 3.2.

This represents the most rapid democratization of any technological capability in human history. Intelligence, once humanity's most precious and scarce resource, is becoming ubiquitous, abundant, and essentially free."

Seeing this reduction in the last 3 years, I'm not worried about the price of the new OpenAI o3 model launching in January! It can go up to $1,000 per request. (By the way, there is no o2 model due to the copyright held by O2, the UK telco).

[Jorge Izquierdo @izqui9]

Really thankful for the great response to Tuyo’s launch yesterday 🙏🏻

So happy to have made it through from day 0 to day 1. It was a monumental team effort to get it to this point. So much more coming.

Download the app and take it for a spin if you haven’t yet. It’s very good.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Fondly recall the exciting updates from Demis as he, John and his team were working tirelessly to make progress on Alphafold, knew at that time this was special and would have a huge impact in the world. First time felt like I had a live ticket to watching Nobel work in progress. So well deserved and huge congrats to @DemisHassabis and John Jumper for the Nobel in Chemistry recognizing the incredible AlphaFold 2 breakthrough! And congrats to David Baker and his team! Special week for AI all around, just the beginning of whats to come.

Most people think it is about the LLM, when the secret is the product around the LLM, just like ChatGPT did and displaced Google with a single product move.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

What’s the secret of Casetext making GPT-4 work as a legal associate with zero error and hallucination?

Write evals and test prompts like test driven development. If you have error or hallucination you haven’t broken it down into small enough pieces.

An incredible film about an incredible person. Excited to see the premiere this evening @Tribeca. Congrats @demishassabis and the @GoogleDeepMind team!
