If your laptop or pc has at least 16gb of ram and a decent gpu, it can run quite powerful open-source LLM AI models locally, saving you $ while minimizing data leaks and privacy risks. The positive evolution of large language models (LLMs) from the big tech vendors such as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI has managed Continue reading The future of AI is local how to use LLM models on your machine in VS…
Search engines usage is declining because of the growing popularity of LLM AI chatbots: users increasingly go to this new technology in the detriment of web searches, negatively impacting websites/businesses that rely on organic traffic from search engines or via sponsored ads in search results. At the same time, the tech vendors that created the Continue reading Content and web search in the AI…
Social media is associated with TikTok, Meta and other popular platforms. Before them we had Hi5 and MySpace, which were quickly overthrown by The Facebook (Harvard exclusive back then) because of a key ingredient: the membership filter made sure that the users were real people (was harder to create fake accounts) and afterwards network effects Continue reading Social media, propaganda and digital…

A while ago, inspired by this article Frontiers of Computational Thinking: A SXSW Report by Stephen Wolfram, I looked-up the Wolfram Language. It is described as a very powerful symbolic language with built-in algorithms and knowledge base and indeed it looks quite impressive: you can accomplish a lot with just a few lines of code. The post Country Population Distribution with Wolfram Language…
