Not all AI slop is created or digested equally. There’s a spectrum, and I’d bet the next billionaires, perhaps trillionaires 😜, will be those who define its distribution and B2C layers.

In Latino families, birthday wishes arrive through messages, calls and celebrations. This year I tried to disconnect while still acknowledging them all.

The standout was an AI-generated postcard from my mom 🥰. Not because of its composition or aesthetics, but because she (hardly at tech’s bleeding edge who missed and felt displaced by the PC revolution) managed to make it herself.

That human context made it meaningful. The value wasn’t merely in what AI generated, but in whom it enabled.
