Start as Early as Possible
by Brivael Every single one of the brightest people I’ve run into over the last few years realized the exact same thing at the exact same time: the degree system is a Ponzi scheme. The sequence is always identical. They get into a top school. Within six months, they realize that what they’re being taught…

I am Not a Black Belt
I am a black belt. I am a second dan (nidan 二段) Aikido black belt with the original school of Aikido, the Aikikai Foundation. I started Aikido practice in early 1997 after a holiday trip to the US. When Aikido was introduced in Brazil, it had inherited local rules from the Judo federation back then,…

Virtually Immortals
Immortality is a difficult concept. For the men of faith, it is achieved in the afterlife. For the skeptical, it is an unreachable dream. Well, not until yesterday at least. I watched a podcast with a Harvard alumni telling that one of his professors signed up for a project in which the university will use…

My Friends are Afraid
My friends are afraid of almost everything. They are afraid of the machine. They are afraid of the wind in their hair. They are afraid of their own hearts. They are afraid of losing time. They are afraid of not having lunch at the same time every day. They are afraid of getting sweat. They…

Latência do DNS como Fator Arquitetural em SaaS no Brasil

Isso muda consideravelmente o jogo quando você está decidindo entre arquiteturas como SPA (Single Page Application) e SSR (Server-Side…

Agentic Wars
Back in May 2023 I wrote this pensata I named “GPT Wars”, and it has pulled in a lot of views from various sources. This year we are facing a new type of war — and it seems that many are still to come in this arena — an agentic war, a war of agents.…

Just Ask It
It’s just statistics. Children with one dedicated teacher evolves faster than children with shared teachers. Answers to children are the success factor. AI is the universal know-it-all teacher. Just ask it.

This Movie will Change as You Do
The Wolf of Wall Street is a great movie. To me, DiCaprio’s best performance by far and kudos to his agent for crafting this opportunity with Scorsese and the producers. If you are a manager or a business person, and if you have watched this movie more than once you might have noticed that some…

Visibilidade e Responsabilidade
Esse tema nunca foi tão atual. Em tempos de trabalho home based, a visibilidade é prejudicada e, com ela, a responsabilidade pela entrega do trabalho. Imagino aqueles que vivem sozinhos sem ter uma viva alma por perto para lhe impor algum tipo de olhar. Nesse contexto, não só a responsabilidade pelo trabalho fica comprometida, mas…

Who am I? (AI)
I saw this post from Santiago this morning, a topic that I have anticipated in my thinking and essays for at least two years now. If digital intelligence can easily copy our looks and tone of voice, the final step in the process of creating a realistic copy of ourselves that could be expressed in…
