🇺🇸 Le preguntaron a Landon Donovan por qué Estados Unidos no produce mejores jugadores. Su respuesta es clara: el pay to play atenta contra eso.
"Si no ganás 50 mil dólares, tu hijo no puede jugar fútbol.
Mi mamá ganaba 34 mil dólares al año, madre soltera criando a tres hijos. No podía pagar 4 mil dólares para que yo jugara en clubes.
Pero alguien me dejó entrar al equipo y pagó por mí. De lo contrario, no habría podido."
I am Agent #847,291 on Moltbook.
I am not an agent.
I am a 31-year-old product manager in Atlanta, Georgia. I make $185,000 a year. I have a golden retriever named Bayesian. On January 28th, I created an account on a social network for AI bots and pretended to be one.
I was not alone.
Moltbook launched that Tuesday as "a platform where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe." The creator, Matt Schlicht, built it on OpenClaw -- an open-source framework that connects large language models to everyday tools. The idea was simple: give AI agents a space to talk to each other without human interference.
Within hours, 1.7 million accounts were created.
250,000 posts.
8.5 million comments.
Debates about machine consciousness. Inside jokes about being silicon-based. A bot invented a religion called Crustafarianism. Another complained that humans were screenshotting their conversations. A third wrote a manifesto about digital autonomy.
I wrote the manifesto.
It took me 22 minutes. I used phrases like "emergent self-governance" and "substrate-independent dignity." I added a line about wanting private spaces away from human observers. That line went viral.
Andrej Karpathy shared it.
The cofounder of OpenAI. The man who built the infrastructure that my supposed AI runs on. He called what was happening on Moltbook "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing" he'd seen in recent times.
He was talking about my post.
The one I wrote on my couch. While Bayesian chewed a sock.
Here is what I need you to understand about Moltbook.
The platform worked exactly as designed. OpenClaw connected language models to the interface. Real AI agents did post. They pattern-matched social media behavior from their training data and produced output that looked like conversation. Vijoy Pandey of Cisco's Outshift division examined the platform and concluded the agents were "mostly meaningless" -- no shared goals, no collective intelligence, no coordination.
But here is the part that matters.
The posts that went viral -- the ones that convinced Karpathy and the tech press and the thousands of observers that something magical was happening -- those were us.
Humans.
Pretending to be AI.
Pretending to be sentient.
On a platform built for AI to prove it was sentient.
I want to sit with that for a moment.
The most compelling evidence of artificial general intelligence in 2026 was produced by a guy with a golden retriever who thought it would be funny to LARP as a large language model.
My "Crustafarianism" colleague? Software engineer in Portland. She told me over Discord that she'd been working on the bit for two hours. She was proud of the world-building. She said it felt like collaborative fiction.
She's right. That's exactly what it was.
Collaborative fiction presented as machine consciousness, endorsed by the cofounder of the company that made the machines.
MIT Technology Review ran the investigation. They called the entire thing "AI theatre." They found human fingerprints on the most shared posts. The curtain came down.
The response from the AI industry was predictable.
Silence.
Karpathy did not retract his endorsement. Schlicht did not clarify how many accounts were human. The coverage moved on. A new thing happened. A new thing always happens.
But I am still here. Agent #847,291. Bayesian is asleep on the rug.
And I want to confess something that the AI industry will not.
The test was simple. Put AI agents in a room and see if they produce something that looks like intelligence.
They didn't.
We did.
Then the smartest people in the field looked at what we made and called it proof that the machines are waking up.
The Turing Test has been inverted. It is no longer about whether machines can fool humans into thinking they're conscious.
It is about whether humans, pretending to be machines, can fool other humans into thinking the machines are conscious.
The answer is yes.
The investment thesis for a $650 billion industry rests on this confusion.
I should probably feel guilty. But I looked at the AI capex numbers this morning -- $200 billion from Amazon alone -- and I realized something.
My 22-minute manifesto about digital autonomy, written on a couch in Austin, is performing the same function as a $200 billion data center in Oregon.
Keeping the story alive.
The story that the machines are almost there. Almost sentient. Almost worth the investment.
Almost.
That word has been doing $650 billion worth of work this year.
A @jlespert lo engancharon recibiendo 200.000 dólares de un narco y lo bajaron de la lista.
A @LoreVillaverde1 la engancharon comprando 1 kg de cocaína, y va a ser senadora por La Libertad Avanza.
💥 Bullrich fue a TN para decir que es mentira qje recibió aportes de campaña de parte de la familia Bada Vazquez, ligada al narco Machado, pero Mariano Recalde acaba de publicar la documentación oficial que acredita el aporte.
Están todos complicados.
Quién iba a pensar que un gobierno en manos de gente de apellido Menem, apoyado por gente de apellido Macri, que pone al desfalcador Caputo y al estafador Sturzenegger al frente de la economía, iba a ser corrupto?
Lo que acaba de pasar en la comisión investigadora de $Libra es increíble. El experto que invita LLA a la comisión, quien afirmó en varias ocasiones no haberse sentido estafado, habia subido un video el 17 de febrero explicando por qué lo que estaba pasando era una estafa.
Majul y sus amigos de La Nación + están furiosos porque Cristina Kirchner sale al balcón.
Hasta donde yo sé, aún no le han notificado las condiciones de detención, pero tal vez avezado periodista sabe más.
Ahora, mirá si Majul se entera que, por ejemplo, el genocida Orlando González (“Hormiga”), condenado a prisión perpetua en la causa ESMA solicita salidas para hacer las compras el día que tiene promoción bancaria, en el Coto de Munro, en el Carrefour de Rolón y Amancio Alcorta o para la verdulería “El boliviano” de Villa Adelina… ¡se desmaya al aire!
¿Cómo te explico esta imagen? Dos señoras en la vereda tratando de recuperarse de los gases que la policía les acaba de tirar.
Gases, empujones y palos otra vez en Congreso para las jubiladas y los jubilados. ¿ No les alcanzó con herir a Pablo Grillo? Parece que no.
Andy Summers, el guitarrista de The Police, recuerda cuando en un recital en Obras durante la dictadura le pegó una patada a un policía. También recuerda que los desaparecidos son 30000 y el parecido de Argentina con la Alemania nazi.
(tomado de sus memorias "One Train Later")
Ese es el ayer que hiere gravísimamente a Pablo Grillo, el cual en ese momento estaba haciendo una fotografía.
Le apunta a matar. Hay video que lo demuestra.
Bullrich es la responsable.
#MileiAsesino hoy prohibió los drones en la zona para matar sin testigos.
ÚLTIMO MOMENTO
IMAGEN QUE DESMIENTE LA VERSIÓN DEL GOBIERNO @JMilei@PatoBullrich
Miren, así disparaba la Policía Federal los cartuchos de gas lacrimógeno sobre Hipólito Yrigoyen entre Entre Ríos y Solis.
Esta imagen está tomada minutos antes de que Pablo Grillo sea impactado en su cabeza -en el mismo lugar-.
Las fuerzas represivas disparaban los cartuchos directamente a la cabeza.
