This one is full of strong opinions weakly held, and the kind of hot takes that I hope trigger a heated debate! Drop by and say hi! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2027464464820322568 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:22:51 GMT This is not going to end well. > Exec Sum: BREAKING: OpenAI announced a $110B funding round at a $730B pre-money valuation ($840B post-money). Breakdown: - $50B from Amazon (plus strategic partnership) - $30B from NVIDIA (plus next-gen compute deal) - $30B from SoftBank https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2027438457396629779 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:39:30 GMT I am having one of those days where I would love to fire claude code! Then I remember that if I did so I would have to write the code myself and we forgive each other! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2027324911392289002 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 10:08:19 GMT I had so much fun on this one. Thank you @joobid for organising it. Stay tuned because I'll talk about this event on this week's post! Spoiler alert: The post is full of strong opinions weakly held :) > Jorge Ordovás: The first AI Socratic event in Madrid has been really amazing, with incredibly interesting and insightful discussions among real AI professionals, from developers and startup founders to researchers, VCs, and large corporations.

I just came up with this and Claude is already releasing an equivalent feature (: Only if I had known ... https://x.com/noahzweben/status/2026371260805271615?s=20 > adlrocha: Oh my! I just leveled up my productivity toolkit. Now I not only get notified about when my agents need me, but I can actually reply to them directly in-chat to unblock them wherever I am 😍😍 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2026664400111722640 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:23:41 GMT Oh my!

It can even do stock picking in a somewhat sensible way 🤤 Mr. Malone can become my personal screener? > adlrocha: Man, Mr. Malone in action pulling data from @BaselightDB is the best financial advisor. I would definitely pay for something like this. I am pivoting to finance in my next career move! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2026613879195771171 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:02:56 GMT Man, Mr. Malone in action pulling data from @BaselightDB is the best financial advisor.

We purchase intelligence the same way that FIAT currency currently buys human labour and goods. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2026403308122878220 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:06:12 GMT I can’t resist the aesthetics of a well-designed mobile friendly app on my phone https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2026336616654966873 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:41:11 GMT And of course a bit of this talk involves @BaselightDB and why we are building it ;) > adlrocha: Turns out I'll be giving a quick talk on AI Socratic Madrid meetup and I am super excited about it. Let me hype the talk a bit. I'll be sharing my realisation about how the *context is the product* and how *adaptive personalised software* is the new way of shipping software. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2026328235663921504 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:07:53 GMT Turns out I'll be giving a quick talk on AI Socratic Madrid meetup and I am super excited about it.

Context is all you need! We are currenlty missing the datasets required to implement this exact one, but I am really excited about this work and similar use cases that are surfacing for niche agents. Soon we will incentivise devs to distribute their datasets for Baselight to build the knowledge base for agents so any niche agent can be built out of the box :) Huge fan of this one @tarikjmoody 🙌 Thanks! > Tarik Moody: I'm building the Claude Code for real music lovers, DJs, music journalists, and radio programmers (inspired by @virattt's Dexter Finance CLI.

I am trying to figure out how to have an army of 24/7 agents that allow me to focus on creative work :) Let's see how far I manage to get! (In case you are wondering, that blt-* stands for @BaselightDB :) ) > adlrocha: This weekend I stepped up my game by creating a Telegram bot that notifies me when my agents need me! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2025881827362189751 Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:34:01 GMT This weekend I stepped up my game by creating a Telegram bot that notifies me when my agents need me! https://adlrocha.substack.com/p/adlrocha-the-space-data-centre-delusion Sun, 22 Feb 2026 08:30:17 GMT Can we really ship data centres to space?... https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2025188115355471997 Sat, 21 Feb 2026 12:37:27 GMT Damn, this was a hard one to write. It's been on my backlog for weeks. I read (and listened) a lot for this one, and I think I could have done a better job with a bit more of time, but I rather ship it tomorrow and let the community build upon it. See you tomorrow! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2024579076317380711 Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:17:21 GMT Build the distribution, then ship the product. Man if I had known. Distribution makes things sooo much easier! Never mind, distribution here we go! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2024179900672811331 Wed, 18 Feb 2026 17:51:10 GMT We are first on the ranking! Oh no wait, I was reading the table the other way around 🥲 > Pieter Garicano: Why don't European companies innovate? It is common to blame expensive energy, high taxes, anti-growth politicians, interest groups, and green regulations. But California has the same problems, and has created the world's most innovative companies. Europe's problem is labor https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2024166696387322287 Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:58:42 GMT I know what is happening after this tweet (see gif below) But to me `Claude code >> opecode` still. Maybe is just a matter of getting used to your agent. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2024092192038383639 Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:02:39 GMT Intelligence and knowledge is definitely a commodity now. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2024085072144478331 Wed, 18 Feb 2026 11:34:21 GMT Reading ideas like these now makes me realise that we were so early with @ConsensusLab_'s IPC and executed so badly. We could have win the market. It really makes me sad 😢 This is going to become one of the big "what-if"s of my career > LayerZero: http://x.com/i/article/2020961724988350464 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2023836564522942667 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:06:52 GMT I shipped my first feature fully from the phone. Up till now I was only reviewing PRs. And I have access to all my local files. Why I didn’t do this earlier? This was useful before agents, but the FOMO pushed me into it. This makes work life balance with kids slightly less challenging > adlrocha: I’ve officially joined the cult. I set up my home env in order to be able to access it from my phone in case I want to trigger a tiny little task in one of my agents :) I have some ideas of where to go from here, and it may improve my quality of life https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2023786626326163923 Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:48:26 GMT And I blame @BaselightDB for this. Having an agent and a global source of data for anything comes pretty handy! > adlrocha: I’ve officially joined the cult.

Literally, by the day.” And as I wrote about a few weeks ago, we are fighting irrelevance! > Nikunj Kothari: http://x.com/i/article/2022384720735338496 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2023014162406965662 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:38:56 GMT I guess this is why we are not having kids and we will soon be extinct. Sex used to be the bait for procreation. > Beff (e/acc): Yeah sex is good, but have you tried one-shotting a research problem you've been working on for 6 years in a cheeky Claude binge session on a Saturday? https://adlrocha.substack.com/p/adlrocha-agents-will-make-code-and Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:52:53 GMT How Mr.Malone showed me I could build a financial assistant using only English, Markdown, and Claude Code... https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2022732741385593121 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 18:00:40 GMT I just wanted to briefly hype the title of tomorrow's post featuring @BaselightDB :) I am also pretty excited about this one https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2022651522379825452 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 12:37:56 GMT Made me laugh out loud! > Justine Moore: Reinstalling OpenClaw on your work laptop after the IT team tells you no https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2022422326642642972 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 21:27:12 GMT I built an extension to signal AI-generated text. Is crazy to run it in LinkedIn… https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2022346097545314515 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:24:17 GMT English is the hottest programming language, but my claim is that agents have made programming language obsolete. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021968458745889220 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:23:41 GMT I am using @BaselightDB on a daily basis now, and I am thinking to write my Sunday post about how you can use @BaselightDB and @claudeai code to build any kind of agent in minutes https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021697157170905545 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 21:25:38 GMT I was so tempted to use this gif, but it would’ve really messed up the seriousness of the quoted post (if adding a give to a post can be taken any serious). > adlrocha: The best present you can get? A book a good book recommendation. Priceless! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021696643645501606 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 21:23:35 GMT The best present you can get? A book a good book recommendation. Priceless! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021308180496621813 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 19:39:58 GMT I couldn't agree more with @igor_os777 analysis here. Another point in favor of AI personal sovereignty (that being through local models even if less capable, or collective/decentralised inference pools). Let's not make the same mistake that we made with the backbone of the Internet > Igor Os: http://x.com/i/article/2017356183607369728 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021266946080014485 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 16:56:07 GMT Ok, how beautiful is this, @claudeai code completely hammering @BaselightDB for data! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021232291633049639 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:38:25 GMT To invest sustainably one needs to make suboptimal decisions (optimal decisions are often risky) https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021169488461168826 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:28:52 GMT This caught me by surprise. Is the first time I see @perplexity_ai as one of the sources for new subscribers.My content is already feeding the AI machine :) I guess content that is not AI-generated is on demand https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2021132065157140514 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 08:00:09 GMT Connecting @BaselightDB MCP server to Claude code is so much fun! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2020942904542511403 Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:28:30 GMT Let me stress this point: collateral reuse!Just saying it out loud gives me the chills! > adlrocha: Money velocity matters. Is not only the M2 supply what makes things messy. That is why stablecoins are a great idea, once we share the backend double spend is not possible (and velocity can’t be artificially manufactured through collateral reuse) https://adlrocha.substack.com/p/adlrocha-we-are-not-scared-of-ai Sun, 08 Feb 2026 08:27:54 GMT The Dark Side of Vibe Coding: Why Deep Thinking Still Matters... https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2019818371320099284 Fri, 06 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMT I just finished writing one of the weekly posts that I've had more fun writing lately.

No business model innovation. No technological edge. Maybe they own the distribution?(it may also be that my feed is a bit biased and that I would be a horrible VC) https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2018958896853885372 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:04:46 GMT Me too! https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2018956992321146923 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 07:57:12 GMT They are coming for social media first, then it will be books.Independent thinking is at risk! > adlrocha: The government didn't just wake up one day and decide to burn books; the people stopped reading them first https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2018941355351843066 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 06:55:03 GMT Not even AI labs have a technical moat these days. Ideas flow from one lab to the other. Success will boil down to solving real problems, distribution, and culture. This is why I think Anthropic is doing a better job than OpenAI. The are doing a better job at shipping, and they seem to have the right culture to promote this. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/2018753798655615380 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 18:29:46 GMT I just found the ultimate parenting hack for newborns.

The main challenges for massive adoption are: 1. The #UX of #decentralisation. 2.

For now these are two good proposals https://t.co/dnkVgHYPGU https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1038395457536487427 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 11:55:44 GMT Deciding what #open #source license to protect your #blockchain project is key for its adoption by enterprises. https://t.co/IiPs3TSFBZ https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1037736754328084481 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:18:17 GMT Apple's disruptive innovation in action! https://t.co/iZpkgzC8Ju https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1037311061102342144 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 12:06:43 GMT Proof-of-Space-Time... no idea how it'll work, but it sounds cool! https://t.co/xcitonwdNL https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1036937719228911616 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 11:23:12 GMT Microsoft is a company that IMHO is understanding how to adapt to the times. In the 90s their bet was for a closed ecosystem and proprietary technologies, and now they are betting for open source software and the blockchain. Nice move. https://t.co/2baI4nMCmC https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1036903130234073089 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:05:45 GMT “Bitcoin’s mere existence is an insurance policy that will remind governments that the last object the establishment could control, namely the currency, is no longer a monopoly. This gives us, the crowd, an insurance policy against an Orwellian future.”. Agree, @nntaleb https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1036864743049502722 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 06:33:13 GMT Is this the end of active #investment? Should we start investing in market indexes instead of individual stocks? Or should we start programming our own #AI system to help us make better decisions? Weirder times are yet to come for investors... https://t.co/aHN0HGWidR https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1036665792539058176 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 17:22:39 GMT Really cool video that shows how global warming is just "an invention from the government" https://t.co/yFuvRM4da7 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1036309093831647232 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 17:45:16 GMT Should we be preparing for the rise of quantum computing already? I personally don't know, but some blockchain projects such as @chain are getting hands-on already. https://t.co/M2CnR6ywvJ https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1035940977184329729 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 17:22:30 GMT I agree that economic measures such as the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) may be obsolete, but I don't know if the GDI (Gross Domestic Income) grasp the state and the progress of a country. GDH (Gross Domestic Happiness) may suit us better. Any thoughts? https://t.co/EFBB1p4Vqt https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1035906115089977345 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 15:03:58 GMT Technical #meetups are great for networking and marketing purposes. But do they offer a real value from a technical point of view? In many of them supposed experts give a shallow technical talk for the sake of their egos. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1035222978701807622 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 17:49:26 GMT Personal DAOs? Imagine the possibilities this technology opens to self-employed professionals. Forget about complicated documents and tax reports. This could be automated though a Personal DAO (or at least that's my view of the matter) https://t.co/DQI8iLpVJr https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1034861588828835840 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 17:53:24 GMT So what is the point of company reports from financial firms? If they are good investors overreact with optimism, if they are bad they slump the price. Consequently, these firms are the ones ruling the markets, right? Is this fair? Imagine a stock market without financial analyst https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1034678014523715584 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 05:43:56 GMT The cool wheel of the consensus. #blockchain https://t.co/G9vmaHVehB https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1034328554807406592 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 06:35:19 GMT "The big daddy of trading exchanges is coming to play in cryptocurrency." https://t.co/9plemo27AS https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1034102556161724418 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 15:37:16 GMT I like @loomnetwork's idea of ZombieChain, a shared sidechain where anyone can run a Dapp on it if they pay the fixed monthly hosting fee. It makes blockchain work as a cloud hosting that DApp providers pay, removing transaction fees from their users. https://t.co/ZZraJ5FYEt https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1033688223787167745 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 12:10:52 GMT I remember when I had to study Lattice Cryptography in my Crypto course at @KTHuniversity. Hard as fuck, but I loved that subject. Reading this article just made me want to learn more about it. Do someone know a good book on lattice crypto? https://t.co/JvygK6PTK2 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1033276079027486720 Sat, 25 Aug 2018 08:53:09 GMT Crypto patents everywhere! https://t.co/LtkxcnEyTg https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1032978204833853440 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 13:09:30 GMT I have a problem seeing the real usefulness of a "prediction market" like the distributed one proposed by @AugurProject. It should be seen like a betting game, or more like something with real economic value? https://t.co/jUD8M7r7Kc https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1032619638184660997 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 13:24:41 GMT There goes a question to any of the experts of @BigchainDB out there, see if they can give me some light in the matter. Using transaction conditions, could you give write permissions to a user for just an attribute in the metadata of an asset instead of to the whole object? https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1032572307393392641 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 10:16:37 GMT Great comparison https://t.co/b4ECdAzSDT https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1032341765729267713 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 19:00:31 GMT Ok, Wozniak is entering Equi Capital, but I would love to understand what the company does. Apparently in the next few weeks they will announce something. From the description on their website I would say that they are an ICO platform. We'll see https://t.co/oqIBR8dVor https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1032233594092183553 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 11:50:41 GMT Buena noticia. Las entidades financieras se van quitando poco a poco el miedo al #blockchain y al dinero digital. Esto puede tener mucho potencial desde un punto de vista tecnológico y económico. https://t.co/zAVQRZ8Jcr https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1031869401153392640 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 11:43:31 GMT Why do companies have to report their results every quarter, and not continuously be reporting. As an investor I would love to know what the companies I've invested in are doing in real time. The technology behind @Auditchain would make this possible. https://t.co/yGK5Vb5Dr1 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1031270359729938432 Sun, 19 Aug 2018 20:03:08 GMT Good analysis on distributed exchanges. IMHO, distributed exchanges can be applied in many more use cases and not just crypto. Why not a distributed stock exchange (I know, this was an easy one, but there are definitely more :) ) https://t.co/BQOS4X4H3v https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1031248649941118977 Sun, 19 Aug 2018 18:36:52 GMT I love @waitbutwhy posts, and this one is pretty great. https://t.co/WsZADKUogU https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1031215303735357441 Sun, 19 Aug 2018 16:24:22 GMT I have been using @libp2p for a few months now to play around with some of my P2P system ideas, and let me tell you it is outstanding. I have always used their Go implementation (https://t.co/0qgT66csyX) but now that I see they have a JS implementation I am curious.... https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1031149844440727553 Sun, 19 Aug 2018 12:04:15 GMT ¿Quien no querría participaciones de un fondo de inversión gestionado por @AndresStumpf? Hoy en una cancha de baloncesto se han pergeñado las primeras conversaciones para que esto pueda ser una realidad en, como máximo, 10 años vista. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1030887560980193281 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 18:42:02 GMT More than blockchain itself, I would say the future is distributed computing and the ability of orchestrating unused resources from devices for their use in AI models. https://t.co/fgRvDCwxvC https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1030789063387824128 Sat, 18 Aug 2018 12:10:38 GMT Europe, is our chance to be the next tech giant.

This technology should be introduced gradually in these systems, and I think the are a short-term answer to several issues. https://t.co/YeG0XVKkoG https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1030023637624135681 Thu, 16 Aug 2018 09:29:06 GMT The Decentralization of a systems is not a binary feature but a continuous variable from centralized to distributed. Blockchain projects should have that in mind when designing (and advertising) their products. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1029657761284587520 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 09:15:15 GMT Hackathons are a great approach to let companies have a grasp about what can be done with the technology, and easily explore potential use cases. Really cool initiative from the EIB, hope to see more of these around the globe soon. https://t.co/9OprQ6jXO2 https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1029334781761343488 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 11:51:50 GMT "There are two systemically important features missing that inhibit the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, specifically, scalability and usability" I totally agree, and @gridplus_energy's Lattice1 seems like a good first approach to tackle these problems. https://t.co/n601pVDuRO https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1029068521203015684 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 18:13:49 GMT Microsoft files two new Patents to Fuse Blockchain Tech With Trusted Computing Techniques...

Once you really understand the technology you would realize it makes no sense using it when there are not a set of participants with independent interests. https://x.com/adlrocha/status/1027880460851077125 Fri, 10 Aug 2018 11:32:53 GMT The first time I played with @BigchainDB I wasn't really sure about how it suited in the blockchain ecosystem. After working with it in some project ideas I've realised its true potential and it is pretty interesting. It still needs some work but I am starting to fall in love!
