Working from home has a ton of traps, like:

• Family members think that just because you re home, you re always available and need to drop everything for them.

• Your workday can stretch across the entire day, and sometimes you don t even know when to stop.

• You start missing real social contact.

• But it also has some huge upsides:

• You save time and money on commuting.

• You can sleep in a little longer.

• You get to schedule your day exactly how it suits you.

I just read an article from TechCrunch about how Robotics company 1X has struck a deal to send up to 10,000 Neo humanoid robots originally marketed for home use (but they want to focus on factory use in the future, although that was their original intention).

This made me think about several things:

Hollywood started panicking because of this Netflix X Warner Bros acquisition.

I m deeply immersed in cinematography, and to me, this feels like proof that theatres could decline even further as people continue to favour streaming. I m also questioning what this means for content quality. Fewer major producers could create more room for monopolies and potential price wars, and I think we can expect subscription prices to rise as a result.

TechCrunch shared an excerpt from a roughly 30-minute panel featuring Sam Altman, where he mentioned that within the next two years, they plan to introduce hardware built by their AI company.

It s supposed to be:
"screenless" and pocket-sized
offering a calmer experience than smartphones

avoiding constant notifications and attention overload

Usually, there are two sides: those who would never mix business and private life, and those who manage to build together with friends or family, without straining relationships.

I get why people are skeptical. It s easy for things to go wrong:

• You might end up talking about work all the time.

• Tension can rise faster.

• Disagreements at work can spill into your personal life.

Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.

For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.

On Twitter, I often come across impulsive builders. They get an idea, build it quickly, and then feel disappointed when nothing sells.

(Just because a creator has identified a problem in himself, it doesn t mean there s a big enough sample experiencing it.)

Pretty cool to see their rise and fall over time.

I ve been here for almost three years, and over time, I ve started to see this platform as a social network.

I know that many people come to launch their products and, due to time constraints, do not have time to establish a strong presence here, but I m glad some regular users focus on building the community.

I have been around since the GPT-3 days, and one thing I ve noticed with GPT-5 is how careful it has become.

One clear difference between GPT-5 and the earlier 4o model is a kind of hesitation when it comes to certain topics, be it macroeconomics, politics, or anything nuanced.

Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.

How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)

My friends at @ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic are teaming up with @Sunnyside this October for the Soberish October Challenge, "a flexible way to reset on your own terms ahead of the holiday season."

America has always been seen as a place where tech startups are born (especially Silicon Valley and San Francisco).

Historically, Europe has been a place for universities and banks (Italy, etc.)

Last time we talked about Apple and its chances of gaining dominance in AI.

Many agreed that Apple:

excels in hardware,

I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).

I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

Yesterday, I came across an article on TechCrunch that OpenAI is upgrading ChatGPT search with shopping features.

Slowly but surely, ChatGPT is taking over Google's role and doing it well. I ve noticed it myself, especially how it s replaced much of my browsing.

According to the Verge, Open AI is trying to create a new social network where people can share their creations produced by artificial intelligence.

Meta is also considering creating AI avatars for social media to drive engagement.

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...

with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.
