Dopamine-Driven Development: When the Machine Keeps Whispering One More Prompt

When the feedback loop between builder and model becomes frictionless, productivity can feel intoxicating. A reflection on vibe coding, supervision fatigue, and the habits needed to build with AI without letting the loop consume the builder.

Intelligence Is No Longer Scarce. Trust in It Is.

Drawing on Catalini, Hui & Wu's MIT Sloan analysis of AGI economics, a three-part exploration of the Measurability Gap, the Missing Junior Loop, and why the cost to verify -- not the cost to automate -- will define the next decade of organizational strategy.

Human First, AI Frontier: Europe's Moment to Lead

Drawing on RAND's AGI preparedness analysis, the Draghi competitiveness report, and Davos 2026, a call for Europe -- and Spain -- to embrace AI with the ingenuity, depth, and humanistic ambition that has defined our civilization at its best.

Building a Spanish Medical Triage AI on a Single GPU

From broken models to balanced solutions: how LoRA fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, and DPO alignment taught me that 350 balanced examples beat 10,000 imbalanced ones — and that the ROJO bias was the most important finding of the project.

The AI Scientist: From Research Assistants to Autonomous Discovery

Mapping the landscape from Elicit and Semantic Scholar to FutureHouse's Robin, Ginkgo's autonomous labs, and the Genesis Mission. How AI is transforming scientific discovery -- with Promethean promise and Pandora's caution.

Governance as Advantage: Open-Weight AI, Agentic Systems, and Compute Diplomacy

The binding constraint for governments is no longer model access -- it is institutional capacity: evaluation, procurement, auditability, and adoption. How open-weight models and compute diplomacy are reshaping policy.

AI and European Democracy: Algorithms, Institutions, and the Fight for Democratic Sovereignty

How AI reshapes European democracy -- from recommender systems and algorithmic governance failures to the EU's four-pillar regulatory architecture and AI-powered civic participation. 30+ academic references.

AI and the Information War: Deepfakes, Democracy, and the Fight for Truth

A technical deep dive into how diffusion models, voice cloning, and LLMs power synthetic disinformation -- and the policy frameworks, provenance standards, and AI-powered countermeasures that can protect democratic institutions.
