Bueno para los cárteles. Malo para el pueblo que dicen que representan. Mexico’s government is throttling the rule of law. economist.com/leaders/2025/0… From The Economist

¿Tenemos algo así @GobiernoMX ? Está muy buena su selección de indicadores y su medición de tendencia y comparación con otros países. Nos hace falta información objetiva para parar los dimes y diretes de los políticos y prensa. stateofnation.org

@henrythe9ths AI Guide

There's a shocking fact about AI that nobody tells you: You can catch up to the public AI research frontier in just 2 weeks. Yes, really. I've built a $150M annual revenue startup over the last 8 years and If I were to start a company today, I’d drop everything and go all-in on AI. But like many busy software builders, I felt lost—overwhelmed by the noisy, crowded and fast-moving modern AI landscape. And I wasn’t alone. So I spent my entire holiday diving deep into AI research—reading 30+ papers, watching hours of lectures, analyzing trends, and catching up to the research frontier. ✨ Here’s what I learned: - You don’t need months (or years) to catch up. - You don’t need a PhD or decades of ML experience. - You need fewer than 20 papers and 2 weeks to understand the major breakthroughs shaping AI today. It's because the technology is extremely nascent and most techniques that came before are no longer relevant: - ChatGPT is barely 2 years old and Transformers are only 7 years old. - Most game-changing discoveries happened within the last 4 years, driven by a few breakthrough ideas, scaling laws, and efficient matrix multiplication. The biggest secret? Many groundbreaking AI papers with thousands of citations are surprisingly simple and applied, like adding "let's think step by step" to the prompt, or simply asking the LLM over and over again to improve its answer (Self-Refine). I realized there are tons of founders and builders in the same boat—wanting to dive deeper into AI but unsure where to start. I've created an essential AI Guide that helped me catch up, in just 2 weeks, to the frontier of public AI research to figure out where the next opportunities and gaps were: - Curated list of only the most important papers - Simple explanations of key concepts - Clear pathway to understanding the frontier of modern AI It’s perfect for: - Founders expanding into AI - Builders wanting to innovate at the frontier of AI - Investors looking to separate the signal from the noise 👇 Want the full guide? - Like and Share this post - Comment "AI Guide" - I'll send you the complete guide (ps, I’m also teaming up with @VishalVasishth, co-founder of @obviousvc with @ev (focused on large-scale societal impact companies like Twitter, Medium, Beyond Meat), to host a small meetup to discuss what's working and needs to be solved in the AI stack in SF.

Voy a empezar un curso de marca personal para fundadores. Dejen un comentario con la mano arriba y les mando la invitación.

@realDonaldTrump Stormy Daniels is strong

Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s “hot stuff” but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong. This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly. I told him, very pointedly, “Look Mark, I’ve got a lot of things to do, I just can’t be taking so many pointless calls from you.” In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a MAJOR LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed!   I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a “baby!” All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement.

Please take some time to step outside and enjoy the beauty of nature! While you’re at it, see if you can identify the mushrooms featured in this video. Let’s embrace the wonders around us! 🍄🌿

AMLO, va caminando casi pasando por la puerta de salida. No cruza. Se detiene. Voltea y le clava una daga a la democracia antes de salir. Le tomará años a México recuperarse de esta. economist.com/catch-up-israe… from The Economist

Paranormal activity

Guess I'm on my way

#sandiego @LionelRichie is playing tonight at the shell. It is confirmed. Crash after the @Padres win.

@elonmuskADO Yes

@Hadley And still, the majority of investors decide based on FOMO.

Looking through the investments I've led over the last decade, there seems to be no correlation between the deal's initial "hotness" and the results. If anything, there's a negative correlation.

Vende como la marca de ropa más exitosa de México. Dale a tus clientes el poder de comprarte más! youtu.be/XplhYWAtqPE #sapica

Ojo: el Partido Verde es una de las peores lacras que ha creado el sistema electoral. Viola la ley, engaña a electores con falsa agenda ambiental/progresista, y después se vende al mejor postor a la hora de votar leyes. Recuerden maletas con dinero/Niño Verde/Manuel Velasco y más. Y recuerden que hoy es aliado de @PartidoMorenaMx Van a hacer todo tipo de trampas para ganar senadurías “por separado” para luego unirse. A leer 👇

@Reforma @cofecemx Visa ya actúa como monopolio en coordinación con MasterCard. Permitirle también el control de Prosa, aumentará su poder en detrimento de la competencia.

#Visa acordó comprar una participación mayoritaria en #Prosa, uno de los principales procesadores de pagos en México; la operación será completada en 2024 #NoctámbulosREFORMA reforma.com/6tFMLf

@eleconomista @cofecemx No puedes dejar que esto pase. Esto fortalecerá el monopolio de Visa en México y elevará los costos de procesamiento. Que la vendan, si, pero a otra organización o a varias.

#Visa dijo que se espera que la inversión en #Prosa permita a los actores del ecosistema global de pagos asumir un papel más activo en México. 💳👍🇲🇽 eleconomista.com.mx/sectorfinancie…
