Estoy harto de la IA. Me tiene hasta los huevos.

No sé en qué momento me convertí en director técnico, dirigiendo al peor equipo de fútbol.

Antes estaba en la cancha. Tocaba el balón. Corría. Me cansaba. Metía goles. Era mucho más satisfactorio para mí. Me sentía Messi cada vez que cerraba un feature.

Ahora tengo que dirigir un equipo desde la banca. Mi tarea es darle indicaciones a cada jugador para que haga su trabajo lo mejor posible. Tengo que ser extremadamente preciso y cruzar los dedos para que mis “jugadores” hagan las cosas bien y metan goles.

La magia se perdió.

Antes me levantaba contento porque tenía que terminar una tarea. Mientras me bañaba, iba pensando en la solución. Y cuando la implementaba y funcionaba, sentía que había anotado un gol. Era feliz.

Ahora me levanto desanimado. Veo el código y, como no estuve en la cancha, no entiendo ni el 80% de lo que los agentes escribieron por mí. Aunque quiera entrar a jugar, se me hace difícil, porque perdí el contexto del proyecto.

Sé lo que tenemos que hacer para ganar el partido. Pero ya no soy yo quien mete los goles para ganar.

Hay quienes disfrutan ser el director técnico.

Pero yo disfrutaba más estar en la cancha.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

ASÍ TE VENDEN LA GUERRA EN INSTAGRAM

Un video viral analiza la estrategia de Israel de usar soldados fotogénicos en redes para suavizar la imagen del conflicto y aumentar sus números de reclutamiento, pero no son los únicos. Desde el ejército de EE.UU. patrocinando videojuegos hasta China viralizando desfiles perfectos en TikTok, las potencias mundiales han descubierto que la guerra moderna también se pelea en el algoritmo. El objetivo es el mismo en todos lados: convertir el servicio militar en algo "aspiracional" y atractivo para las nuevas generaciones.

Marriage, at its core, is a voluntary covenant, a profound act of courage and responsibility that binds two souls in the face of life’s chaos. You ask why we marry? It’s not merely for love, though love is the spark. It’s because we crave a partner to stand with us against the abyss of existence, to share the burden of being. We seek someone to witness our struggle, to affirm that our trials—our victories and defeats—are not in vain.

Man is a creature of meaning, and marriage is a crucible for forging it. You marry to have someone to turn to at day’s end, to wrestle with the weight of your thoughts, your doubts, your aspirations. It’s a commitment to face the dragon of life together, to build something enduring—a family, a legacy, a microcosm of order in a world that tilts toward entropy. This isn’t sentimentality; it’s a pragmatic necessity.
Alone, you’re vulnerable to despair.

Together, you’re fortified, not because life gets easier, but because shared suffering has purpose.
Consider the alternative: a life unwitnessed, where your joys and sorrows echo into the void. Marriage says, “I see you. Your existence matters.” It’s a vow to hold each other accountable, to call one another to higher virtue, to confront the flaws and shadows within. It’s not about fleeting happiness—happiness is a byproduct, not the goal. It’s about meaning, the kind that emerges when you sacrifice your selfish impulses for something greater.

Critics might claim you can find meaning elsewhere—in friendships, in solitude. And there’s truth there; the individual must stand upright before entering the union. But marriage is a unique crucible, a sacred pact that demands you integrate your being with another’s, not just for your sake, but for the world’s. It’s the foundation of civilization itself.

families, communities, cultures rise from this bond. To marry is to say, “Despite the chaos, I choose to build. I choose to love. I choose to fight for order.” And in that choice, life’s troubles become not just bearable, but noble.

China va a ganar la guerra comercial por varios factores:

1) Tiene todas la fabricas, EEUU solo tiene deuda.
2) China tiene los trabajadores, EEUU no los tiene.
3) China es una población colmena obediente, que puede sobrevivir con un plato de arroz al día, EEUU tiene el 70% de la población enferma.
4) China tiene todos los puertos e infraestructura, EEUU tiene su infraestructura en el suelo.
5) Aun con las tarifas es mas barato producir en China, EEUU solo va a producir inflación para su gente.
6) El dólar es una moneda en declive y el mundo ya cuestiona su estatus de reserva.
7) Aunque EEUU pudiera empezar a producir cosas no podrá competir en precios con China en el extranjero.
8) Toda esta charada de guerra es para hacer intervenir a la FED para que baje tipos, pero esa receta va a fracasar si el dólar pierde su estatus como moneda de reserva.
