This blog is wrapping my ideas and opinions about innovation and entrepreneurship.
China & Web are two topics that mixed together often revolve around the Great Firewall and censorship. This is fair topic. However, I think China has also nudged the development of new technologies in a direction that lead to a user experience and integration that do not exist in my more common countries where major corporations hold their rule tight on digital serfdom or technology simply took…
Access to information got partly hindered through the attention economy, here are 10 reasons why!!! The last one will blow your mind!!! Oops … sorry, let me try again. Access to information got partly hindered through the attention economy, slowing down the user to access content or even luring him to irrelevant content. The name of the game is to get as many eyeballs as possible to print ads on.…
About a decade ago, I decided to launch a startup around socialization. It was called KonnectR, I stopped it around 2016 and wrote my thoughts at the time as a conclusion of that story . However, the idea stuck in my mind. Dating was a thing, but in an era where many are moving from one area to another in a seemingly interrupted fashion; the problem is deeper. People also need to meet, not…
Like the GDPR , the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), is a major move toward the regulation of information technologies in the European Economic Area (European Union and some other european countries). While it will gradually come into force by August 2026, the magnitude of the changes it requires and the consequences of non-compliance make it relevant for many actors to start thinking about…
Joel Spolsky made an interesting post more than a decade ago about how Trello, and Excel, are horizontal products . Horizontal in the sense that not only they will serve different industries, but also different use cases. Excel is a good enough tool to do accounting, project management, financial forecast, data visualization, … The list is long. LLMs are very similar in that sense, first they blow…
Things don’t change (black) until they do (white). But the reality of this blunt statement is that it unfolds as a grey spectrum rather than a black-to-white shift. Within that gradient of greys, one day we stopped paying attention, and the next day the anecdotal has become ubiquitous. Regarding the topic, I have the feeling that this manifest in everything that has the network effect so common to…
tl;dr this is just another rant on the state of technology, a babbling about enshittification. So, here I was, walking next to the bedroom door: “oh crap! The light is still on.” I approached my Nanoleaf and pressed the power button… and the Nanoleaf still shone, as clear as the day. I sighed, but “hey you got a computer in lieu of a light, have you tried turning it off and on again?”. So I knelt…
A firm might satisfy the call for universal sharing of the benefits of superintelligence by adopting a “windfall clause” to the effect that all profits up to some [high amount] would be distributed in the ordinary way to the firm’s shareholders […], and that only profits in excess of the threshold would be distributed to all of humanity. Nick Bostrom, Superintelligence Nick Bostrom’s book is full…
This article is massive. You are cordially invited to jump to the sections that feel the most relevant to you. The outline of the document is below. I had the pleasure and honor to be invited to a panel discussion at the Annual Conference on Artificial Intelligence Systems and Fundamental Rights organized by the ERA . In order to not appear irrelevant on the legal aspect of things, I had to…
Just a chain of shower thoughts jotted on paper. When Russia decided to invade Ukraine, what was supposed to be a three-day operation turned into a long-lasting war. Like many recent conflicts with energy-producing countries, energy prices soared. Rampant inflation was waiting for a spark to ignite. This was the spark. Inflation is a terrible thing for economies, the job of most central banks is…
