La mejor tecnología no es la que se nota, sino la que desaparece.
En esta edición de El Modulor hablo del “diseño invisible”: desde los efectos especiales que no vemos en el cine hasta cómo la AI debería ser un copiloto y no el protagonista

La humanidad solo existe si existe para todos.
Lo pensé mientras releía una cita de Desmond Tutu: “Mi humanidad está ligada a la tuya, porque solo juntos podemos ser humanos”.

Washington, DC under military occupation in last August 2025, with banners proclaiming the absolute power of the primus inter pares
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Todos tenemos gustos que alguien llama guilty pleasures:
series interminables, pizza con piña, canciones que juraste que no te gustaba.
Mi punto es que no tienes que pedir disculpas por lo que te gusta y es de lo que escribí esta semana:

Antes, un presentador en TV servía una Coca-Cola en pleno programa. Luego, las redes nos hicieron parte de la conversación global. Hoy…los algoritmos deciden qué vemos.
Esta semana te cuento cómo la creatividad se democratizó… y cómo rescatar la conexión real. open.substack.com/pub/elmodulo...
Total bullshit, the cover up continue, when they used the word hoax, they are guilty as fuck

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
En esta entrega te hablo de la importancia de saber responder cuando todo arde, y de una aplicación que me hizo pensar en cómo llevamos nuestra cultura en el idioma pero también en cómo compartimos con los demás (se llama Venezolario y es muy divertida)

En esta entrega te comparto historias que me dejaron pensando, sonriendo, y con ideas para construir, así sea un set de Lego.

In 1965, the government recruited thousands of strapping high-school boys to replace Mexican workers on farms in Texas and California.
A lot of the boys went on strike. Others quit. The program "was considered a giant failure and was never tried again."

Hablamos mucho de cómo la IA está cambiando todo, así que es buen momento para contarte que hace un rato entramos en la era del zero click marketing, y que significa para las marcas y para nosotros open.substack.com/pub/elmodulo...
Nunca perdamos la capacidad de asombrarnos, porque la sorpresa es lo que mantiene viva nuestra humanidad.
Hoy escribí sobre el olor del pan recién horneado, las plantas regadas al amanecer, y por qué no deberíamos volvernos inmunes a lo cotidiano open.substack.com/pub/elmodulo...
Medicaid has many names. Imagine if every maga moron looked up whether their healthcare is actually Medicaid. Imagine if they did that tonight. If you're related to a maga moron... maybe point this out?
Sin curiosidad, sin fricción y sin riesgo, ninguna herramienta va a crear nada nuevo.
Escribí sobre los supuestos “errores” de la IA y cómo sin buenas preguntas ni nuevas perspectivas, terminamos con resultados grises.

NYT breaking news Spooked by Zohran Mamdani's success in New York's Democratic primary, business leaders met with Mayor Eric Adams to discuss how to stop his rise.
“the people like someone we don’t, let’s ask an actual criminal how to stop him” is a weird play but ok
It's very very funny when American news outlets panic over stuff like baby boxes which are very normal in other western countries (Like Scotland) as if its a brand new communist terror threat unheard of throughout the globe.
'FREE STUFF FOR BABIES???? LIKE STALIN????'
![We want to be able to say stuff that other people, for institutional reasons, can’t say, or they’re too afraid to say.
You may be the only CEO in America making that promise.
We’re in a unique position, certainly. And other places have to learn from this — being afraid all the time and just constantly making transactional moves. How long can you survive like this? What is even the point of being alive if you’re just gonna continue managing rot? And it seems like that’s what 98 percent of people are doing in these media companies right now. I don’t know, take a chance. Nobody likes what’s happening. Especially if you’re a journalism company or a media company, you’re [meant to be] actually reflecting what people want or what people believe. So get some guts and do something interesting. It’s not that hard.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreihhqahdsympkilcsdqyztdudygmevh2ioksi2kzbtdo7kbilcnalu)

I had a REALLY lovely time talking to @milesklee.bsky.social at Rolling Stone about why The Onion is thriving.
It's because we're one of the only legacy outlets unafraid to accurately reflect the mood of this country.
That mood? Everyone fucking hates this.

He visto gente soplar velas de cumpleaños en medio de apagones, cocinar platos especiales en días difíciles, y crear arte mientras el mundo parece derrumbarse.
Contar historias no es un lujo.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.
Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles amid mass deportation protests will likely cost $134 million, the Pentagon’s acting budget chief said.
Exactly.
A veces lo más valioso que podemos ofrecer no es un dato, ni una herramienta.
Es recordarle a alguien que no está solo en esto.
Que hay otras personas creando, dudando, aprendiendo, avanzando.
Y que vale la pena conservar la humanidad en el proceso.

La creatividad no es solo talento: es una forma de mirar, mezclar, resolver.
En esta entrega te hablo de eso, y además te dejo cinco recomendaciones para alimentar el músculo creativo: una serie, un podcast, un libro, una app y un newsletter (todos me encantaron): open.substack.com/pub/elmodulo...
Hablo de Olivetti, de Dieter Rams, de una app suiza para hacer la lista del mercado, y de lo que aprendí estudiando arquitectura.
