@boardyai One of the few AI products that has truly impressed me. Count me in for Boardy Pro 🚀

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

@jgaytandeayala Yo me apunto a ayudar a idear el armazón. Es algo parecido a lo que hace CAVEAT en NYC y es fantástico. La gente quiere estas cosas.

@DStrachman Starting teaching grad students next year, and this will be my 3rd slide!! Amazing quote

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@pau @movistar_es Sin duda! 100% de acuerdo. Es justo lo que estamos construyendo en Pandora's Way, alternativas al software de control parental que generen dinámicas sanas, desarrollen habilidades de autoregulación, y fortalezcan los lazos de confianza intrafamiliares.

Forget surveillance capitalism - let's talk about *surveillance infantalism*: the drive by the wealthy to spy on you in order to pursue the toddler's goals of getting everything they want from the people around them, without any reciprocal obligations.

I wonder what % of consumers take influencer content at face value vs consider the protagonist an actor, as one would in a TV commercial. And in which direction that % is shifting these days.

Aquesta guerra podria haver acabat en una victòria contundent d’🇺🇦 i 🇪🇺. No serà així per la desastrosa mentalitat incrementalista dels nostres líders i pq la major part del públic europeu és complaent amb el declivi organitzat i s’oposa als sacrificis necessaris per revertir-lo.

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@DStrachman Indeed! Without feeling inspired and believing in a mission, it'll be hard to convince others (and yourself) to do much.

@DStrachman What would it take to bring them back? 🤔 Would the right nudge suffice?

[Julie Banderas @JulieBanderas]

My kids asked me what games I used to play on my IPad as a kid. I told them I used to speak into a fan to sound like a robot.

We've lost the ability to pay attention to incredible futures.

Marathon Fusion dropped this insane bombshell last week. They're blasting mercury into GOLD.

But we're all too dopamine pilled selling our attention to cheating CEOs. Yawn.

Get back to science.

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@DStrachman So true. Also, one of the most poetic twists to a business model that I've ever seen! Not too far from how nuclear reactors are used to produce and sell medical and other specialized materials... but this time they're literally alchemizing the currency itself!

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@DStrachman It's good thinking, and even a positive mini social intervention in and if itself! We ought to shift people out of autopilot, and connect at a more human level. What you do can be a great question but never if it's a default or a way to put others in a box!

[signüll @signulll]

people still think this is a tech or feature war. it’s not. it’s a habit war.

search was muscle memory. now chat is.

probably one of most worrying charts you could imagine for an incumbent.

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@jefielding Maybe it is actually... a gemini

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@Pedro_Torrijos Tan cierto, y tan difícil. Merece la pena no dejar de intentarlo, sin duda.

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

@palelorenzo haha so true!

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

PSA: if you are a customer support agent, even if the interaction was fantastic, don't end by saying "thank you, talk soon!". The whole point of reaching support is to make sure it doesn't need to be done anytime "soon" 😅

[Javier Agüera @javimaker]

This was indeed such a gem!

If you remember this, you are a true Silicon Valley OG.
