I go to as many startup events as I can.
The question I ask myself on the way out: did I meet people, or was I just seen?
If nobody's getting a message from me on Monday, it was tourism with a badge :)
Nine times out of ten, your distribution problem needs "more" or "better", rarely "new channel".
I've posted almost every day on LinkedIn for four years.
Same channel the whole time :)
Every year someone announces that personal branding is dead.
I even titled an op-ed in Stratégies that way: "Personal branding is dead. Long live personal branding." 👑
The dead part is the sunglasses, the gold watch and the mindset quotes.
The rest has existed since the first CEO gave a speech :)

Le patron d’Euronext explique sur Quotidien que 2 + 2 = 4. Sur la dette, il ne dit que des banalités connues depuis 20 ans partout en Europe. Sur le plateau, on le regarde comme s’il venait de découvrir la gravité. La France est vraiment un pays à part.

Super, le mois prochain, les clients qui consomment 10 Go sur leur forfait de 150 Go pourront consommer 10 Go sur leur offre spéciale de 300 Go.
Panne Orange : pour compenser ses abonnés, Orange annonce « doubler l’enveloppe de data incluse dans le forfait de ses clients concernés pendant un mois, à compter du prochain renouvellement de leur forfait. »

L'opérateur indique que « la cause n'est pas encore comprise » mais confirme l'incident sur le cœur de réseau évoqué par Numerama.
La solution mise en place dans la soirée, après 10 heures de panne, semble fonctionner.

25% d’impôt sur les sociétés,
45% de cotisations patronales,
31,4% de flat tax,
Jusqu’à 45% de droits de succession,
Pour un État qui se montre totalement incapable d’assurer ses missions régaliennes les plus basiques.
Comment ne pas être révolté en voyant ceci ?

Premier jour chez Orange, je viens de vibe coder une petite feature bien sympa. J'espère que tout va bien se passer !

A new frontier for on-device speech.
We're open-sourcing Phonon, a suite of TTS models under 50m parameters, setting a new standard for naturalness and accuracy across languages, with the broadest inference support to date.
Phonon-31m is available under Apache 2.0.

You can spend 2 years building the best product in your category, but if nobody knows about it, you don't have a company.
You have a side project with payroll.
Post. Post. Post. Post. Post. Post. Pitch.
I've published almost every day on LinkedIn for four years. About 1 post in 7 talks about Linker.
The other 6 are why the 7th works.
Dofus was my first business school.
Poker was my first student job.
EDHEC came last, with a diploma.
Still not sure which one taught me more about negotiating, but probably not the one that cost the most :)

Should Europe leave frontier AI to the Americans and the Chinese?
The idea has gained ground in Europe. It is a fundamental mistake.
Build or surrender: for now, the choice is still ours.

On dirait un mauvais board de startup où faut trouver un CEO.

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.
