I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
La revolución industrial llevó a masas enteras del campo a las fábricas. Y propició una nueva clase social: el proletariado. De esa tensión emergió un movimiento filosófico, económico y emancipador que transformó el mundo y el siglo: el marxismo.
La IA está cambiando rápidamente el trabajo. Todo y a la vez. Sería ingenuo pensar que esto no traerá tensiones sociales drásticas y profundas. Porque cuando el trabajo cambia, el mundo cambia.
Algo grande está pasando, sí. Gracias por resumirlo tan bien, @pepmartorell. Os animo a leerlo y a reflexionar.
Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:
"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."
He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.
"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."
In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.
What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?

A "Paradox" is a statement that seems contradictory but actually contains a hidden truth.
Once you see them, your worldview changes forever.
Here are my 10 favorite mind-bending paradoxes that will upgrade your thinking & decision making: 🧵
1. The Paradox of Choice
Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?
Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.
DUES VERITATS INCÒMODES SOBRE LA CORONA D'ARAGÓ
Hi ha 2 fets històrics dels que gairebé ningú parla.
Dues veritats incòmodes que canvien completament la manera com entenem la Corona d’Aragó.
I que, curiosament, afecten tant el passat medieval com el futur d’Espanya.
Parlem-ne.
#TalDiaComAvui de 1902 obria al Passeig de Gràcia el desaparegut cafè i restaurant Torino.

There's an American family with 14 billionaires.
More than any family on Earth.
And they control the ENTIRE global food supply.
It's not the Waltons. It's not the Kochs.
99% of people have never heard their name.
Here's how they became the richest invisible dynasty: 🧵
Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years.
This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption.

En 1967, Jacques Tati estrenó "PlayTime", quizá la crítica más feroz (y más divertida) que se ha hecho nunca a la arquitectura moderna.
¿Pero seguro que Tati estaba criticando la arquitectura moderna? ¿O estaba hablándonos de otra cosa?
Os lo cuento en #LaBrasaTorrijos.
