This was such a fun paper to write! The development leading up to today’s social/behavioral science with AI agents. The history itself is a roller-coaster ride connecting many of the big themes of 20/21 century human-centric science.

#OpenAI is going all-in on adoption; from consulting, training and soon social media. Gloves are off, this 'push' on #AI adoption is much faster than what we've ever seen. The worrying is that without a doubt the concentration of power to only a few, as #MoGawdat refers the digital soil.

Proud to announce that I’ve decides to continue my learning path at #ITESO and purse my PhD in Social Sciences. My research will focus on the impact of AA in the workplace from a network perspective.

New project! @yufeng.bsky.social analyzed all of the words found on NYC Streets. The data comes from from 8 million Google Street View images, which yielded 138 million snippets of text:

Love this Mintzberg 1979 quote “Formal structures give clarity but rarely explain performance.” 👌🏼

Just shared a new whitepaper on my #Medium. It’s based on a tech adoption consulting project I worked on earlier this year.
Would love to hear your thoughts, and open to ideas on where else I could publish this kind of work. Any suggestions before sharing it in #linkedin?

At #PuertoVallarta visiting a client on tech adoption. Love visiting and connecting with locals. #AIadoption is about people.

I’ve been working and writing a case study on #AIAdoption, hopefully I can share it next week. Will be first in English then on Spanish. It’s incredible how little is being published in my mother language… I feel the need to contribute more.

What did I ever do to you, June? - Take it easy! June, you were an emotional workout: 6 projects canned 🫠, team growing pains, and I’m turning 40 😅... Entrepreneurship is really emotional gymnastics. #MidCrisis? Let’s call it a plot twist.

Ufff lots of AI noise / productivity out there… I wonder if there is some sort of digital “Beware of the Dog” equivalent sign?

Very few Americans definitely want their country to get involved in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, according to new polling from The Economist and YouGov. That is true across the political spectrum https://econ.trib.al/ZdU9cQD

Watching what’s happening in #LosAngeles and now #NewYork… it hurts. As someone half US, half Mexican, it’s hard to watch the cracks grow. Differences should be chances to learn from each other, not excuses to divide. We need bridges, not walls. 💔

I am impressed by the capabilities of #Manus #AI, particularly its ability to enable non-technical users to engage with advanced tools. I developed a novel layout for @gephi.bsky.social, and named it 'Circlepack Layout 2.0,' which implements a circular layout within a specified cluster.

I listened to the latest #All-InPodcast interview with/ #SundarPichai, CEO of Alphabet, and #DavidFriedberg. Inspired by their conversation, I created a #SemanticGraph from their discussion, highlighting topics from "AI", "team," and "growth". Link to episode 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReGC...
