Enaiblr Search
I made a search engine —that helps you find the best AI tools on the Internet, to prove a point: AI has now enabled everyone to build apps on their own.
The Quadrant of All Knowledge
Melihat realitas hanya dari satu sumbu, itu ibarat melihat hanya dengan satu mata. Bisa, tapi kita kehilangan kedalaman dan dimensinya. Karena pada dasarnya realitas itu kompleks dan utuh, tapi kita, melalui ilmu pengetahuan, yang mengotak-kotakkan.

Visual Wisdom
Value tertinggi dari Twitter, setidaknya menurut saya, adalah ia menjadi medium di mana siapapun bisa belajar dari para jenius dunia, dengan menyimak pemikiran, pengalaman, dan pelajaran yang mereka bagikan.
