#ColombiaTechWeek left me with one clear impression: LATAM’s tech ecosystem is gaining enormous momentum centered in Colombia.
Alongside founders, operators, investors and enterprise leaders from LATAM, gave a strong view of where that momentum is heading.
Three takeaways: 🧵
Ecosystems run on trust
The energy across LatAm’s startup and enterprise community was unmistakable, as was the visibility of Women in Tech across the program.
AI may accelerate change, but trust, collaboration and inclusive cultures determine whether it lasts.

Petro anuncia golpe de Estado contra Abelardo De La Espriella por tercera vez.
Esto no es un juego, Petro y Cepeda se preparan para atentar contra la democracia, la constitución y la ley.
El país debe unirse para detener esta violación contra el país.
Pedro Ramirez retweeted
Lo que están haciendo Petro e Iván Cepeda al desconocer la victoria legítima de Abelardo De La Espriella es un golpe a la democracia, a la constitución y al país mismo.
Los que decían que Cepeda era un demócrata siempre estuvieron equivocados.

No existe inhabilidad que impida a un colombiano por nacimiento ejercer la Presidencia por tener otra nacionalidad. La ley y la Suprema Corte (USA) reconocen tal eventualidad. La Presidencia se decide con el voto, no con interpretaciones putativas. La Constitución está escrita.

🚨 ¿Quién es ‘Angelita’, el hacker que una fuente de inteligencia señala como la ‘pieza clave’ del Pacto Histórico para la segunda vuelta presidencial?
Se trata de Andrés Mauricio Ángel Peña, alias Angelita o Papu, descrito como uno de los hackers más hábiles de Colombia. Según una fuente de inteligencia consultada por El Expediente, opera actualmente como contratista de Coljuegos y sería un activo clave en las estrategias digitales del gobierno de Gustavo Petro y el Pacto Histórico.
El señalamiento es grave y directo: su pericia técnica lo posicionaría para intervenir los sistemas de la Registraduría Nacional en la segunda vuelta del 21 de junio, donde Iván Cepeda (Pacto) enfrentará a Abelardo de la Espriella tras una primera vuelta muy ajustada.
Mientras el país vota en medio de denuncias de irregularidades y desconfianza en el software electoral, Petro y su círculo estarían apostando a un hacker de élite para asegurar el control del preconteo y los resultados.
Esto no es un rumor de esquina, sino una alerta de inteligencia que pone en jaque la legitimidad del proceso electoral. ¿Confiarán los colombianos en unas elecciones limpias si un hacker con acceso estatal puede tocar los sistemas de la Registraduría?
La pregunta es: ¿hasta dónde está dispuesto el oficialismo a llegar para no perder el poder?
¿Fraude digital en marcha? El tiempo y las investigaciones lo dirán, pero la señal de alarma ya está encendida. Los colombianos merecen elecciones transparentes, no manipuladas desde las sombras.

The perfect storm of disruption unfolding.
A blog post just wiped $30 billion off IBM in a single afternoon.
Not a product launch. Not an earnings miss. Not a competitor undercutting on price.
A five-minute blog post explaining that Claude can read COBOL.
IBM dropped 13%. Worst single-day loss since October 2000. Twenty-five years of stock resilience ended by one AI company publishing a capability update.
Here’s what happened:
95% of ATM transactions in America run on COBOL. Hundreds of billions of lines power banking, airlines, and government systems. The developers who built them retired decades ago. The knowledge left with them. Finding engineers who can even read COBOL gets harder every quarter.
IBM’s moat was never the technology. It was the fact that nobody else could understand it. Entire consulting empires existed because the code was too old, too tangled, and too critical to touch. Companies paid IBM billions because the alternative was catastrophic system failure.
Then Anthropic published a blog post saying Claude Code can map dependencies across thousands of lines of COBOL, document workflows, identify migration risks, and translate legacy logic into modern languages. Modernization in quarters instead of years.
The market heard: the priesthood just lost its monopoly on the sacred language.
And this isn’t the first time. Last week Anthropic announced Claude Code Security for vulnerability scanning. CrowdStrike dropped. Okta dropped. Cloudflare dropped. One company is serially destroying legacy moats with blog posts.
Now here’s where it gets surreal.
This same company, on the same day, also published evidence that three Chinese AI labs ran 24,000 fake accounts and 16 million exchanges to steal Claude’s capabilities. DeepSeek used it to build censorship tools. MiniMax pivoted within 24 hours when a new model dropped, redirecting half its traffic to steal the latest version.
And yesterday, the Pentagon summoned this same company’s CEO for what officials called a “sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot meeting,” threatening to blacklist them like Huawei for refusing to let the military use Claude without safety restrictions.
Three stories. One company. Twenty-four hours.
The company destroying legacy moats faster than the market can reprice them is simultaneously being threatened by its own government and looted by foreign competitors.
Anthropic is valued at $380 billion. Its CEO says a 12-month delay in AI would make him bankrupt. The Pentagon wants to designate it a supply chain risk. Chinese labs are running industrial espionage against it. And it just proved it can vaporize $30 billion in market cap with a Monday morning blog post.
Whatever you think about AI disruption, IBM’s stock just settled the argument.
