#XrisLogbook 149 - Learning Curves & Cloudy Realities 🇫🇷

👍🏻 My daughter took her first-ever 11+ exam this week… a true rite of passage into the great sorting hat of the school system. While the test still decides who gets the “golden seats,” I can’t stop thinking we’re grading kids for a world that no longer exists. The future of learning will be shaped not by exams, but by curiosity, creativity, and the courage to rethink how we learn. 🎓

👎🏻 Independence is great… until you realise it comes with a built-in chaos subscription. Just when you think you’ve solved everything, life quietly hits “refresh” on the problem list. 🔄

✍🏻 The backbone of AI isn’t as virtual as it seems. Behind every ChatGPT or Gemini lies a fragile, geopolitically charged value chain: around 70% of rare-earth minerals are mined in China, and over 80% are refined there, feeding the chips built by few leaders like NVIDIA and ASML. These power roughly 12,000 data centres worldwide, nearly half located in the U.S., all interconnected by 640 undersea cables… many co-owned by tech giants such as Google. As those cables age and rare-metal tensions rise, we’re reminded that beneath the “cloud,” the world’s digital future still rests on very tangible, and very political, ground. ⚡

🙏🏻 Special thanks this week to Lucie, Franck, Jean-Charles, Sebastien, Marie-Solenne, Asma , Gian , Stephane …
