Buen artículo de Roberto Blum en @lahoragt sobre #InteligenciaArtificial, la encíclica Magnifica Humanitas, los robots como encarnación de GoLLeM

¿Pueden los robots llegar a ser sujetos de experiencias?

@escritor1_0 Era el último eslabón de la que otrora fue gran cadena

Al llegar la primavera le colgaron un candado con forma de corazón

Hubo de llevar peso una vez más

La argolla y la columna, viejos compañeros, le dieron la bienvenida

Juntos partieron hacia siglos por venir

Valioso para leer completo. Aquí un breve extracto (Trad. libre):

"La persona recibía ~5,000€ (…) pero el costo total para la compañía era ~13,000€…"

"Hace que contratar no se sienta como una relación personal sino como alquilarle una persona al estado…"

[César A. Hidalgo @cesifoti]

Europe is one of the best places in the world to live, but one of the hardest places to build and scale a company.

After 5+ years in France, following 16+ in the US, I have a conflicted admiration for Europe.

On the one hand, Europe has great potential. When I lived in the US, I was skeptical of the European quality-of-life argument. But after getting used to Sunday morning markets, walkable cities, and 4.5 meter ceilings, I get it. There are things that you simply cannot import or experience as a tourist.

These things can make Europe very attractive for creative and intellectual work. I honestly believe some parts of Europe are the “best neighborhood” in the planet. But that’s not the full story.

I am not only a husband and a dad. I am also an entrepreneur. I founded a company in the US 12+ years ago that has offices in the US and Chile and clients throughout the world. I live in France, yet I have not opened a subsidiary here. That is telling.

We once hired someone in France through one of those remote employment platforms. The person received about 5,000 euros net per month, which is considered a very good salary here. But the total cost to the company was closer to 13,000 per month.

That makes hiring feel less like a relationship between a company and a worker, and more like renting someone from the state. At the same time, you take an enormous amount of legal and administrative responsibility. The presumption is that all companies should operate like a 1960s car manufacturer. The response is simple. Don’t set up operations in Europe.

But this is not a remote-work story. I know many small entrepreneurs in France who do not want to cross the threshold from being a one-person activity to becoming an employer. They sometimes refuse a new customer to stay small and avoid the obligations that come with hiring one person. That should worry us.

Many social protections here are described as being provided by the state, but in practice, a lot of the cost and complexity of the implementation falls on the administrative shoulders of entrepreneurs. That is reasonable for a large energy company or bank. But for a small business, it is the difference between an entrepreneur waking up on a Monday to think about product or paperwork.

Growth is not the enemy of the European social model. It is what enabled it. Much of the quality of life we enjoy here today dates back to growth incubated in the past. Growth that is increasingly hard to find. France once led frontier industries, like bicycles in the 1860s, cinema in the 1890s, and aviation and automobiles soon after. Since then, Europe built a more humane social model. But that model was built on the assumption that Europe and the US were the only two rich and industrialized places in the world.

That is no longer true. Global competition in the 21st century is not what it used to be 50 years ago, and the padding built to protect us, may have grown into the handbrake that constrains the growth of the small and flexible firms we need to compete in new frontier sectors.

We should be able to be critical about Europe in our own terms, without comparing ourselves to the US or China. Innovative parts of Europe, like Sweden or Switzerland, operate differently and provide clues. Sweden has embraced a dynamic of capitalization in its pension system for a long time in a continent where fewer people buy stocks. Switzerland, a place that shares an enormous amount of geography and culture with its neighbors, is built in part on strong internal competition among its cantons.

But neither can light a candle to a French open-air market on a Sunday morning. A market where cash is king, and for a reason.

Europe may be the best place in the world to live. But it is also one of the most challenging places to build and scale an innovative activity. The goal is not to weaken the European model. But to get to a place where we can lead again by example. The world will follow us, but only if we are ahead.

Bonita palomilla (o polilla) con una forma muy especial

Es pequeñita, así que por su mimetismo no la habría encontrado de no haberse posado en una pared clara

Dice #Gemini que es polilla penacho, familia Pterophoridae

Aquí las fotos de la tapa hundida en acera de esquina de 12 Av y 28 calle zona 5

@muniguate esa tapa hundida es un peligro para los transeúntes

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Se hundió la tapa del tragante en la acera de la esquina de 12 Av y 28 ca zona 5.

Lleva varios días así. @muniguate quizá pueda repararlo

¡Es peligroso!

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

@fercajas @lahoragt Sí!!! Lo menciona en el artículo también. Gracias por compartirlo, intentaré conectarme

Saludos!!!

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Me gustó mucho el artículo del Dr. Fernando Cajas en @lahoragt "¿Qué es envejecer?" https://t.co/4LiS4BWcCo

@fercajas nos abre una ventana a su propia familia y experiencias de vida

Fue mi profesor de Física entre 1986 y 1987 en Xela👨‍🏫

Ahora se que es 10 años mayor que yo😃

@escritor1_0 No pudo evitar sentarse en la silla frente al escritorio y tomar la pluma y libreta del ausente

Con esa vista y herramientas su amigo genio creaba maravillas

Pero él solo veía la fría ciudad contaminada

Entonces comprendió que la genialidad vive dentro del alma

@escritor1_0 Tensión de larga espera
aguardando tesoro avisorar
se lanza el impulsivo a la ligera
el sensato se queda en su lugar

Defraudada ve su prisa
visión que no se llega a concretar
es sabio el que sabe lo que mira
y tonto el que se conforma con mirar

Pajarillos del lugar

Ese fue el experimento de diseño con #InteligenciaArtificial usando #Gemini y #Rodin

Si algún día ven en el super platos especiales para tamal, espero que sean estos…

¡Ahí los compran!😁

(6/6)

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Acabo de hacer un experimento de diseño con #Gemini y #Rodin

Inicié subiendo fotos de tamales guatemaltecos servidos en mesas, describí los tamales y la importancia de las hojas para la cocción y la presentación

Gemini dijo que todo claro y bien

(1/6)

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Entonces pasé a #Rodin para convertirlo en modelo 3D

Ahora puedo imprimirlo 3D como prototipo

@draker_dg Se parece bastante

Visto en el campus @UFMedu ~8:20 PM un escarabajo enorme (ver foto con moneda de Q1)

Lo pasé a un área verde para que no lo fueran a aplastar

Trataré de averiguar qué tipo de insecto coleóptero es

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Aquí la respuesta de #Grok

Veremos que sale

[Leonel Morales Diaz @litomd]

Voy a entrenar una #InteligenciaArtificial (GEM de #Gemini, GPT de #ChatGPT) con todas nuestras expectativas positivas y negativas sobre el futuro

Mejor se la pido a #Grok

Luego le voy a pedir que me guíe para encontrar oportunidades

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ oportunidades ♥
