@levelsio Puto, vai pa tua terra e deixa o tuga trabalhar à sua maneira. O idiota vem para o país dos outros falar mal do povo que o acolhe pa ter mais likes.

🇵🇹 If you have ever dealt with any Portuguese business (and I have with many in my 5 years here) you know why Portuguese in Portugal simply do not care about work, some foreigners find that refreshing, but it results in a country where you can't find anyone to do work because nobody wants to work And when they do work, the work is generally bad, like imagine stepping into a time machine back to 1970s bad, they also can't follow the spec you agreed upon beforehand, and then when it's 60% done they disappear and ghost you When we did home renovatiom, you hire ppl, they arrive late at 9am (you agreed 8am), they then drive away to get materials, come back 11am, do actual work for an hour, then at 12noon announce they go for lunch, come back around 2.30pm, walk around a bit, do some work, and then leave early at 4pm It's not just construction workers, it's almost every interaction you have here with a Portuguese business, the quality is just low, the service non-existent or customer-hostile, and it's not the language, I speak fluent Portuguese, I'm respectful and friendly which is why I never ever had this amount of issues elsewhere in the world And I know it's not just my experience, it's everyone I know here, even Portuguese complain about Portuguese! It's not completely their fault though, the hostile tax system for both people and businesses literally gives you an incentive to never ever scale your business beyond I believe around €150,000/year, because you end up in a completely different category and tax tier that decimates you with more taxes and more bookkeeping So every business tries to stay small, and doesn't want more customers (how many times have I walked into a Portuguese cafe or shop and the staff or owner *sighed* "not another customer") Add decades of socialist governments that hand out free money to 50% of the country (and even the right wing parties here are socialist btw, they have to be or they don't get votes) and you don't have any incentive to work left Why work when you don't need to work? The majority of the young smart Portuguese people with actual ambitions understandably move elsewhere, because if there's no incentive to grow a business, there's also no jobs for them, and the whole thing becomes a vicious cycle of increasing poverty Which is why I said Portuguese in Portugal at the beginning of this tweet, because Portuguese outside of Portugal are ambitious, want to work, want to improve their lives! Bringing in lots of foreigners like me by the government as a way to pump money into the system, we spend a lot and it pays for the welfare, healthcare and retirements of Portuguese now, but it's not a structural solution (and we also instantly became the scapegoat for the government's decades of mismanagement) It'd be relatively easy to fix this though if people in Portugal would put on their thinking hat: 💡 Make Portugal a great place to start and run a business, model yourself after Singapore but with extremely low taxes (maybe 5-10%) for companies/startups and make it easy for them to hire (and fire) people, the money you lose in taxes you will get back in increased economic activity over time (but it will hurt for a little bit) Because even the foreigners who move here and start businesses get caught up in the reverse incentive spiral of Portugal: Why even work?

mais importante: porque é que o designer está a usar duas camisas?

@karpathy This sounds a lot like describing @caffeineai

When I built menugen ~1 year ago, I observed that the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture to make it real, the DevOps: services, payments, auth, database, security, domain names, etc... I am really looking forward to a day where I could simply tell my agent: "build menugen" (referencing the post) and it would just work. The whole thing up to the deployed web page. The agent would have to browse a number of services, read the docs, get all the api keys, make everything work, debug it in dev, and deploy to prod. This is the actually hard part, not the code itself. Or rather, the better way to think about it is that the entire DevOps lifecycle has to become code, in addition to the necessary sensors/actuators of the CLIs/APIs with agent-native ergonomics. And there should be no need to visit web pages, click buttons, or anything like that for the human. It's easy to state, it's now just barely technically possible and expected to work maybe, but it definitely requires from-scratch re-design, work and thought. Very exciting direction!

@tiagopita é brutal. o pessoal não tem ideia.

@dfinity @icpp_pro @onicaiHQ 1.6 months? 🤔

A moment of appreciation for Arjaan Buijk (@icpp_pro), one of the ICP ecosystem’s earliest and most dedicated builders, who: - discovered and got hooked on ICP 1.6 months after its genesis - got the first LLM working in a canister - went on to co-found @onicaiHQ, together with Patrick Friedrich (@thepatnorris) They were the first to formalize and popularize the concept of “Proof of AI Work” for decentralized AI networks. 1/2

@dfinity one hundred percent.

If PoAIW is the how, onicai.com is the where and why. Go check it out ↓

well deserved 👏👏👏

@sharkinho Ontem já era tarde

Está a criar-se uma nova trend nos preços dos imóveis aqui da minha zona.

Very interesting, @DavideCrapis! We’ve been working on these concepts on-chain for about two years. Would love to have you join us for a chat in our AI group.

RT @JScriptonite: $FUNNAI (future $ONICAI) sitting at ~$144k FDV while the protocol is literally holding ~100k in liquid stable coin $CYCLE…

@Cointelegraph The Internet Computer has solved this already. Sovereign cloud network with multichain integration.

⚡️ TODAY: Vitalik says 2026 is the year to "take back lost ground in computing self-sovereignty.” He adds that "sending all your data to third party centralized services is unnecessary."

Had the pleasure of sitting down and talking to the @onicaiHQ team to discuss their products and upcoming SNS proposal. They are doing things only possible on $ICP! Only 7hrs left to vote! Make sure to vote here: nns.ic0.app/proposal/?u=qo…

check this out!

🚨 The onicai SNS Proposal is LIVE 🚨 After months of tireless work, community feedback, and deep iteration — today marks a pivotal milestone. The road to True Decentralization begins here. This proposal is a signal to every builder dreaming of an open, community-led AI future. With this step, we move towards real community ownership, where you help shape how Decentralized AI is built. 🗳️ Next up: ICP community votes. If passed, the SNS Decentralization Sale will go live. Let’s make history. Let’s build AI the way it should be — together. Vote now. Be part of the future.

@dominic_w looking forward

A new DFINITY white paper proposing how #Mission70 (to reduce ICP inflation 70% during 2026) can be won, shall be published next Wednesday, 14th Jan. Soon after we will create an NNS proposal. Forward ICP 🔥

@luke_icp @caffeineai cool

Smart teams use AI to surface patterns they might miss, not to replace human judgment about what patterns mean. The researcher's role shifts from data processor to insight curator—a more valuable and more interesting job.

The most impactful AI application in UX research isn't generating personas or writing reports; it's accelerating analysis of qualitative data. Automatic transcription, sentiment detection, and theme clustering let researchers spend more time on interpretation.

UX Research in 2025: Methods That Actually Work in the Remote-First World The pandemic forced UX research remote. Five years later, we've learned that remote research isn't just a pandemic accommodation.
