@Grantblocmates Porto and Lisbon, interested in both

Building AI or robotics stuff in Portugal? I've got something cool to show you. Meetups coming to Lisbon and Porto. DM me if you are interested or know someone who is.

Fun to be at Lisbon’s first ever OpenClaw meetup

@Chazzym22 It makes me happy that we share a Twitter addiction CM

@richwarner If you don’t know, I’m confident I wouldn’t have any idea. You’re much smarter than me

Why are the words “baseline” and “Vaseline” pronounced completely differently?

Was genuinely impressed that Giza remembered me as an early open source contributor. They’re not just blazing trails in AI and blockchain, they’re also continuing to give back to the their supporters. It's an inspiring team!

@Chazzym22 Come to Portugal next!

@Chazzym22 Nearby, yeah. I’d never been to Rome though. And the northerners always downplayed the south, so my expectations were way too low. Rome blew us away. Even the kids didn’t mind 12 hours of sightseeing. (I have to partly credit Gladiator, that movie got them fully amped for Rome.)

Scheduled to visit Rome for just one day, and it happened to be today. Struck by the contrast of a simple wood coffin with no flowers, amidst central Rome’s everything.

We just rented a nice car in Portugal for 21 days, for €34. Not a typo, that's the number.

@henrythe9ths Thanks Henry! Liked and shared -> 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. Message me if you're interested)

We're witnessing a fundamental shift in technology. Just as computers revolutionized paper processes... Programmable cryptography is transforming computerized systems. Here's why this could be just as important as the Industrial Revolution:

@danilowhk2 @Starknet ♥️

It's Valentines day, so wanted to share how my happy relationship with @Starknet started years ago. I first got to know about Cairo a couple years ago and right after I joined the 2022 Starknet Hackathon in Paris. During the Hackathon, besides getting StarkPilled by @henrlihenrli, it was my first time learning about Account Abstraction, possibilities of L3s and writing my first lines of Cairo code. After the Hackathon, when I got back to Brazil, I was looking for ways to interact with Starknet Ecosystem and after seeing a tweet booked a call with OnlyDust, which lead me my first Open Source contributions (Implement @myBraavos integration on the old OnlyDust website with the guidance of @dktstan). Fast forward to Devcon 2022, I decided to hang out on the Starkware booth for the 2 whole days they were there and during days I saw in first hand @GuthL @henrlihenrli @odin_free @lucas_lvy @omarespejel @barretodavid explaining what Starkware & Starknet are to everyone who came by the booth, and by the end of second day I even got to explain it to some people myself. I was hyped and right after decide and apply for the Lisbon Starknet Hacker House. However, I was late to apply and all rooms had already been occupied, so I asked if I could just come and hack. @GregoireGambatt and @sylvechv approved, so I booked an airbnb to sleep and was hacking from the HH everyday. During that Hacker House I met @abdelstark @ETazou @ClementWalter @freshPizzaDev @tdelabro and many other Starknet OGs and future friends. It was so fun! That's when Kakarot got it's initial push as well, and I still remember the last minutes debugging. We didn’t win prizes either in EthLisbon or in StarknetHH, but we won something much greater: lots of frens and the possibility of being part of something much greater, the @kakarotZkEVM. Ever since, I’ve participated in many Starknet events and HHs, made more amazing friends, and learned so much in just two years. Today, I’m feeling quite nostalgic and happy for all the choices I made along the way. I feel the one right thing I did from the start was: to follow my heart. From the moment I learned about Cairo and Starkware, I felt curious; from the moment I met the Starkware team, I felt humbled; and from the moment I met the Starknet Ecosystem, I felt home. If I have to give future self any advice from everything I have experienced until now is: "No matter what, sincerely follow your, you will not regret"
