What do you prefer to eat? Same taste. Same price. Just different tag.

Scientists just copied a Fruit Fly's biological brain and trapped it inside of a computer. Not an AI model trained to act like a fly... A total digital copy of a fly !! This is some sick sci-fi stuff: - They scanned and copied the brain, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, from electron microscopy data. - Then dropped that brain into a simulated body in a video game like environment. The fly walked. It groomed. It fed. Nobody taught it anything. The behavior was already in the wiring. The entire premise of modern AI is that intelligence is something you train into a system. This is proof it's something you can transfer out of one. Wild times

Visa CEO Ryan McInerney says the company is launching AI agents that will shop and pay on your behalf. With partners like OpenAI and Perplexity, Visa is enabling AI credentials, spending rules, and merchant trust -- turning payments into infrastructure for agents, not just people. “You're gonna see this in months… in the next couple quarters.”

I kept raising and raising with different funds. Every day. 10 to 12 different VCs. Then I realized, I wanted to BE the VC. I wanted to be asking the dumb questions. I wanted to be saying "we're passing on this one" to me.

🚨TRUMP: "Unfortunately in recent years the US Government sold 10,000s of Bitcoins that would have been worth billions of dollars. Mostly under the Biden Administration. From this day on America will follow the rule that every Bitcoiner knows very well: NEVER SELL YOUR BITCOIN."

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

@federicoantoni Vivo en SCL y en más de una ocasión, me he dado cuenta que es feriado en Chile bien adentrado el día porque solo había tenido reuniones con NO chilenos. Damn...

A question for you all. In times of COVID, not working during a Mexican holiday feels weird given a majority of our work involves teams, advisors & partners based in the US and Latam. Given virtual work and remote teams will continue, how are you thinking about local holidays?

@norellana @brianrequarth Hold my beer... 1) Movistar Innova ran 10 years ago (pioneering the model in Latam) #Respect 2) Wayra hasn’t been an accelerator since 2016. 3) The question is about today’s accelerator model. 4) Happy to talk about the lessons learnt to both of you.

I’m compiling a list of everything that is wrong with startup accelerators in Latin America. So far: not run by entrepreneurs, bad/unfair terms, mentors that come from big companies and don’t know the pain of early stage startups....what am I missing?

@Carlos_Scheuch @ClauBarahona Tiene sentido allí. Aquí la masa no te da para hacer emails en frío. El 90% de los fondos no han completado ni un ciclo. Muchos VCs dan consultoría porque literalmente las lucas no dan para tantos partners. Pre revenue de 25 M USD me deja frío. Bien por él. #FirstWorldVCProblems

Interesante aproximación...Igual hay que tener a la vista que viene de un confundador que previamente construyó un unicornio y en la misma industria! Pero muy interesante!! Qué piensan @ClauBarahona , @Peproll ? Les hace sentido?

De vergüenza @Vespucio_Norte 10 min y nadie responde en el call center.

@federicoantoni Everything's great, product, CEO, Growth,...but an unknown Venture Builder owns 90% of the company.

Getting great insights from both of the table! Thank you'all for helping me out (and sorry if you ever experienced a turnoff with me :).

Here's a question for you'all :) What's the biggest turnoff you've experienced in an investor pitch presentation? Writing a new post.
