Colombian agro-entrepreneur. Currently exploring solutions that help transition and scale-up regenerative agricultural systems within ecological boundaries.
As someone who ships LLM systems in production, this scaling video is the closest thing to a "why 96% of Claude and GPT-5's weights are literally useless" explainer I've ever seen released for free.
Everyone thinks trillion-parameter models need every parameter. They don't. A 2019 pruning experiment proved you can delete 96% of a neural net's weights with zero performance loss - meaning most of Claude and GPT-5 is empty scaffolding around a tiny "winning lottery ticket" network doing all the real work.
Bookmark this 18-min video and watch tonight. Same lottery ticket math from 2019 MIT research, now the reason every AI lab wastes 90%+ of its Nvidia budget.
A new UNEP report shows that fixing the planet is possible — if we transform how we power our economies, produce and consume food, manage waste, and protect nature.
These shifts could unlock up to US$100 trillion in benefits every year.

American Universities show a massive die-off of Honeybees in the United States
- 60% to 80% colony loss in the US through 2025
- Wild bees show a 30-96% decline in species, including Honeybees (96% WOW)
This woman went to Cornell and got a Masters in Beekeeping, she explains why
“Well, the bees are dying. They were claiming catastrophic historic losses. This last year, 60 to 80% of all bees, all honeybees in the US just dead. They're gone. Cornell University.
They have a hunch. Their hunch is that it's neonicotinoids and pesticides in monocrop farming. Well, I'm here to tell you I don't have a hunch. I know. I know what it is.
I went to Cornell University to get my master beekeepers. My final paper was on neonicotinoid.
Neonicotinoid is a type of pesticide that is extreme. It makes it extremely effective. It lives systemically in the plant, and if you have a plant with really dense tissue, like a tree, like a tree trunk, it holds onto that poison for years. So if you're spraying your tree every year, it's getting more and more potent to the point where when it blossoms in the spring, if a honeybee was to feed off of that nectar, it could disorient and not even make it back to the hive, or it could just drop dead on the flower.
Neonicotinoids are used in lawn sprays. If you ever have anyone knocking at your door and wanting to spray your lawn saying, oh, we don't spray the flowers, we don't. It's all affecting everything.
It gets in the groundwater when the farmers spray their crops. And this is one of the main reasons that the monarch butterfly migration is depleting. It's because of these new nicotinoids. But of course, it's super effective, so people are going to be using it. You have a green lawn, you have beautiful trees, like, why not use it? And the more you use it, the more your plant or your grass are dependent on it. If you stop using it, it's going to look worse than it did before.
So quit spraying your grass, quit spraying your trees. Find alternative ways to do it. And if you have to, if you absolutely have, use some sort of pesticide, don't use a neonicotinoid.
And it's hidden under these names.
- imidacloprid
- acetamiprid
- thiacloprid
- dinotefuran
- nitenpyram
- thiamethoxam
- clothianidin
So remember these names. Turn around your bottle, see if anything there is listed in what you're using, quit using it.”
WE DID IT!!! 🌳 I broke the world record for Most Trees Planted in 24 Hours & have been dubbed the Tree Planting World Champion!! 🎉
It was a STRUGGLE, but so worth it!
