Contrarian, apolitical, fighting my bias.

When someone talks a lot about values, assume the opposite until proven otherwise.

Everyone’s worried about the U.S. causing global chaos, but maybe we should keep an eye on Europe. With AI shifts, immigration tensions, and a history of radical turns, is Europe more at risk of internal instability than we think? 🤔

This is the first year CES actually feels worth going to and I completely missed it. 🤦‍♂️
The explosion of robotics companies makes it feel like the future in a way you just can’t experience online.
Did you attend? What’d you think?

An exec asked me, “But how much will running these AI agents cost us?” I told him: “Soon, it’ll cost next to nothing. Worrying about that now is exactly what’ll keep you from staying ahead.”

If you think AI won’t touch your job any time soon, think again. It’s been barely three years since ChatGPT went mainstream, and the pace hasn’t slowed. Give it just a few more years, and many of today’s jobs could be unrecognizable—or gone entirely.

OpenAI feels increasingly consumer focused. Claude feels a lot more built for the enterprise. If that split continues, Microsoft’s massive investment in OpenAI might look less like strategy, and more like a missed opportunity.

The value of college is in freefall — and it won’t stop here. This chart says it all: fewer see it as ‘very important.’ College isn’t about money, it’s about wasting years and mass-producing identical people. Passion + doing > paper degrees.

I find it sad — even pathetic — that some people choose where to live only based on taxes.

Europe keeps sabotaging itself. Who thought scaling down energy production was a smart move?

[Santi Arano @santiarano]

Here’s the truth: a lot of big companies are just too afraid to let you dive into AI tools. They’re holding you back, and that’s a career risk. Smaller companies will want you AI-ready, and if you’re not, you’ll fall behind. Don’t let a slow giant limit your future.

I once worked with a guy who spent all day ranting about human stupidity like he was a genius. Now that AI is smarter than humans… what does that make him?

@CapitanBitcoin Queréis que os enviemos a Elon Musk?

There are three types of people:
1.Those with ethics who live by them.
2.Those who claim ethics but follow them only when convenient.
3.Those with no ethics.

The second is by far the worst—never trust them.

Politicians in Spain and the US fuel division, causing long-term harm. Recent events in Valencia show leaders deflecting blame as people suffer. We saw similar unrest in the US 4 years ago. Think critically. Vote with reason, not just emotion.

The modern world: couples choosing life enjoyment over kids and skipping the idea of traditional retirement. Is this the new norm? Thoughts—good or bad?

Elon wants to be build a city with 1M people on mars by 2054…
What’s the point of spending 6 to 9 months on a rocket to reach Mars, only to end up living in a capsule, unable to step outside without a protective suit?

If Netflix applied AI dubbing to its 6,500+ titles, it could unlock 100% of its catalog to a global audience. This could drive a 30-50% increase in viewership for international content, boost user engagement, and potentially add millions in revenue from new subscribers.

[Santi Arano @santiarano]

Imagine watching any Netflix show in your native language, with AI dubbing that perfectly matches the original voices and emotions!

Mark Cuban: “If you were messed up when you were poor, you’ll still be messed up when you’re rich.” So true! It made me think of at least a couple people (you know who you are) 🤣🤣🤣
