The AI Divide
Lessons from the Dot-Com Era Do you remember the dot-com boom? Maybe you lived it, maybe you only read about it. Back then, you could slap a “.com” at the end of your name, raise millions, and get listed on Nasdaq—no product, no profits, just hype. Fast forward to 2025, and you swap that suffix for “AI.” The vibe feels oddly familiar, right? MIT’s GenAI … Continue reading The AI Divide

It’s a … Continue reading The Myth: Effortless European Body

Over time, I learned that history offers far more than trivia — it gives perspective, pattern recognition, a deeper understanding of cause and effect, and the ability … Continue reading Brazil 2030: The AI Superpower…
