Hey Alberto, you’ve been doing a great job for such a complex matter. Allow me to suggest something to help us all: smaller articles on a weekly basis to keep the pace with new launches, and bigger articles, those more on a philosophical assessment, on a bi-weekly basis.

Tu trabajo es envidiable. Que no vuelvan a obsesionarte las estadísticas. Es imposible gustarle a todo el mundo. Nuestros contenidos tienen su nicho. Es más importante cuidar la calidad y la perseverancia. Y de eso te sobra. Ánimo y feliz 2025.

Gracias Javier! Agradezco mucho tus palabras y estoy totalmente de acuerdo. Las métricas son traicioneras, qué pena que a veces caigamos en perseguir números en vez de perseguir lo que de verdad importa. Un abrazo.

Of all the hundreds of people I follow for AI content, I constantly find myself waiting for your input Alberto. I am grateful Substack recommended your posts, and for your generosity in choosing me to win a subscription (I live in poverty so I’d not have been able to afford one anyway). The fog is certainly setting in, and it’s something’s I’ve slowly begun to feel for some time now, so I am glad you put this into words for me.

All hail the fog lifter!!!

That was a refreshingly transparent look at your 2024. You've nudged me into considering more introspection of my own. Happy New Year!

I encourage you! I've found it to be a very useful exercise for self reflection - Why not try? (Haha)
