If you're thinking about investing in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 You'd be an absolute fool to not speak with @BuySellBA before pulling the trigger Had an incredible call with him yesterday, incredible insights into the BA real estate market after decades investing there

Loaded gun at my apartment? ✅ Knife at my throat? ✅ I've had those experiences, I know the game, and 100% get what you're trying to say here, but why would active criminals be in Venezuela right now? The vast majority of people with money in the country are connected to the old government + have more money, connections, and power than God Robbing an "enchufado" would be a death sentence I assume Which was part of the point, the active criminals have left en masse Furthermore... Most guys on here still believe Venezuela is a straight up warzone, which is incorrect In fact, I'd venture to say places like Lecheria and Isla de Margarita are safer than many spots in Latin America digital nomads flock to on the daily

When midterms are coming up

Simon Andriesz, the British banker who uncovered 2018 emails linking Howard Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein’s Adfin investment and took them to House Oversight, has died at age 57. BBC reported his findings. Lutnick later admitted to visiting the island but not the business dealings.

Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazilian presidential candidate, got one vote in North Korea.

OpenAI and Anthropic have some fucking nerve complaining about distillation. Human beings spent decades writing code, explaining science, answering questions and sharing what they knew. AI labs trained on that work and built businesses selling the results back to us. THEY DISTILLED ALL OF US. Now someone pays for their API and uses the answers to train a competing model. Suddenly we get bans and reports about "distillation attacks". OpenAI literally offers a distillation workflow. They will help you train a smaller model using a bigger model's answers on their platform. But use those answers to build a competitor and you broke the rules. Their terms even say I own the output. I paid for it, I supposedly own it, but they still decide what models I can build with it. You spent years defending a machine's ability to learn from other people's work. Keep defending it when the work is yours. Thats why I support Chinese labs releasing weights I can download, run and build on. And you can fuck off.

When talking Venezuela 🇻🇪 I do NOT think safety is the issue in 2026... Venezuela *felt* quite safe to me overall The issue is functionality: → Americans need a visa → You're going to have problems w/ electricity + water → Internet wasn't great → Things just won't work how you expect On the flip-side... This is what makes it fun Traveling in Venezuela in 2026 actually feels like an adventure, feels like the great unknown Something I haven't felt for years

This is a great thread with tons of good info!

Oh and one last point... Venezuela 🇻🇪 in 2026 feels like stepping into a time capsule You feel like you're living 10-20 years in the past It's different than anywhere else I've been in years, I enjoyed the hell out of it But this is not a country that has modernized like Panama, Colombia, or Costa Rica Venezuela is uniquely Venezuela, and it feels more like 2008 than 2026
