No sé cuántos Observatorios de la IA/algoritmos llevamos ya, pero está claro que el primero que ha hecho algo que merece llamarse así es esto de @civio.es en la salud pública
📣 🤖 El aterrizaje de la IA en la sanidad pública es opaco, desigual y con escasa supervisión. Publicamos la primera base de datos que mapea, comunidad a comunidad, 156 sistemas de IA en cualquiera de sus fases de investigación o implementación en nuestros hospitales. 🔗 civio.es//sanidad/202...
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Perplexity’s CEO said the company’s web browser is designed to track users across the web to build detailed profiles and sell hyper-personalized ads. The browser is to monitor browsing habits, shopping activity, travel and dining interests, and time spent on sites, etc.
I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.
COVID-19: DATOS CONTRA MANIPULACIONES 👁️ 👁️ Un vistazo al tipo de cosas que mandamos el pasado domingo en el boletín. 1. FALLECIDOS. 157.271 muertes por Covid-19 en España hasta junio de 2024. No, no se ocultan fallecidos, pero la cifra real podría ser mayor. Te explicamos 👇🧵
One of the things I’ve come to appreciate being with privacy folks this week is how unique Signal is at this moment. I know it’s maybe a cliche at this point, but it needs to be said.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Trump, Bezos, gente que literalmente no puede gastar lo que tiene, está ELIMINANDO ayudas sociales, sanidad, educación, protección al consumidor, seguridad aérea y un largo etcétera, a millones de personas simplemente por pagar menos impuestos.
Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Was going to post a snarky skeet with pseudocode for preserving scroll position while refreshing. Then I thought, "Maybe it's open source, and I can fix it myself!" Then I saw that the app is built in React Native. I am defeated.
Please start supporting the unsexy infrastructure of email, calendars and cloud storage. And then comms/news/media platforms. And then social media platforms. Not everything has to have AI.
If your app dispays text that can't be interacted with as text, I hate you with every fiber of my being.
“We should reduce the cognitive load in our projects as much as possible.” — I strongly agree with it. And yet, it turns out to be super hard to fight complexity creeping in. I had an entire rant on this recently at @vendure.io's mini conference :) minds.md/zakirullin/c...
Cognitive load is what matters
There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code.

♾️ Hay que recuperar la palabra “ALGORITMO”. En el mainstream se le está dando una connotación negativa absurda, imho. Hay algoritmos en cada ecografía, en las vacunas covid, en las videollamadas para ver nietos y en las tripas de esta red social que celebramos y que era imposible en 2001.
With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
