Visions of Earth Intelligence This is the article version of the invited talk I gave at the BSC AI Factory of Barcelona, during a CARTO event. The title 'Earth Intelligence' sounds like science fiction or philosophy.

Is Earth Intelligence an Agent, a Map or Search? www.linkedin.com/pulse/vision...

#Greenland is more than real estate and geopolitics β€” it’s a place of extraordinary beauty, importance and remarkable people. I visited in 2014 for a climate event and am now releasing my photos as CC-BY to support journalists and independent storytellers.

Can planetary intelligence anchor a new global dialogue? The amount of Earth observation satellites now orbiting the planet could offer us a shared planetary intelligence, if their data is harnessed correctly.

My message at Davos next week:
When facts fracture and narratives collide, when nature bites back, when trust between governments breaks overnight and global sentiment feels like quicksand… the boldest acts of global leadership will be planetary awareness.

What if AI is neither as good nor bad, AND much simpler, to understand. Selling a balanced view is harder, digesting complexity into simplicity even more.

I had this random idea to create a compression algorithm that skips words that an AI can deterministically predict, both exactly or similar ones.
3 minutes later with Gemini.

Famous texts, or sections, compress to ZERO size (memorization), and always better than zip.

One of the hardest 10min talks I've given. Not just because I managed to close it paraphrasing the poet Rumi, but because I decided to live my words that "data doesn't change the world, stories do". So it's just me, telling a story. A story of #AIforEarth www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Picture the 100s of ships inbound to the USA for like 20 days. Every day their cargo's worth changes massively with tariffs. A daily $100b gamble at US ports.

I'm not sure instant messaging is a good thing anymore. Since I've deleted Whatsapp I sometimes miss easily connecting with family and friends, but mostly feel more relaxed and focused. Some friction helps quality.

Local-First Software A fresh way to think about building web applications.

Mobile-first became cloud-first... which aligns with SaaS and ads-based Internet. What if we did local-first? Would you pay more for apps that don't need internet (but can sync and collaborate)?. E.g. Obsidian, Git, Desktop email apps, ... localfirstweb.dev

Start With Satellite Images of the Earth. Then Add AI. Artificial-intelligence tools are starting to allow nonexperts to search for patterns across the globe

WSJ quotes me saying that AI has changed so much... yet so little helping us understand Earth. We created Clay to be the best model as a non-profit. Yet, the best model needs the rest of the rocket to get places. So we created LGND to re-imagine how we understand Earth. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/arti....
