#lovetopía y las hermosas «alucinaciones» de chatGPT

08/04/2023 | carlosgoga | lovetopia, nuevas tecnologías | No hay comentarios

Lo que sigue más abajo es el resultado de un juego fácil con la Inteligencia Artificial que tan de moda está. Le pido a «Bing by chatGPT» que escriba un borrador de entrada para Wikipedia sobre #lovetopía y me ofrece el bonito texto que aparece más abajo.

Si aceptamos que chatGPT explora realidades paralelas, como si de una tecnología cuántica se tratase, esa especie de creatividad lineal que llaman «halucinaciones» y que se desliza fuera del dominio de la realidad, en algún lugar existe algo tan prometedor como #lovetopía: el musical y #lovetopía: la película.

¡Qué «gran gran sonrisa»! Sólo por esto, el juego merece el rato.

Camino de emprendimiento, camino de ansiedad, estrés y autocrítica

28/03/2022 | carlosgoga | crisis, emprender | No hay comentarios

Ser free-lance o emprendedor, que es lo mismo que ser trabajador independiente o hacerse autónomo, es un “camino de libertad de hacer”. O al menos en teoría. Podemos elegir qué hacer, dónde, cuándo, con quién, por qué y para qué. Es el camino que potencialmente nos permite un “triple like” y un “triple win”.

Quizás esta sea la decisión más trascendental que tomamos en la vida. Hoy por hoy (dentro de la cultura popular del emprendimiento y de las start-ups) ya se reconoce, sin discusión, que se trata de un estilo de vida MUY diferente.

Este “camino de libertad” arrastra una gran sombra: la incertidumbre del ingresar, del recibir una cuantía de dinero fija y estable periódicamente (en una sociedad que busca la certeza de dinero, de rentas, para todo y que la tiene integrada en un montón de procesos económicos y sociales – como el acceso a la vivienda o a la financiación).

La práctica de mindfulness: ¿qué es lo que entrenamos?

28/10/2021 | carlosgoga | cambio | No hay comentarios

Por lo general, los que practicamos mindfulness y meditación no tenemos mucha claridad sobre lo que estamos cuidando en nuestra experiencia interna y lo que estamos entrenando en nuestro cerebro. Sin embargo, esta claridad nos ayuda a comprender nuestra práctica desde la raíz, convirtiéndose en un aprendizaje clave que luego nos ayudará a mejorar y dirigir la práctica. (más…)

AI is coming

04/07/2021 | carlosgoga | cambio, clase creativa, nuevas tecnologías, otra economía | 1 Comentario

Two years ago, I felt the need to update my own understanding regarding digital technology and the IT industry. I keep offering my 25-years point of view to businesspeople in a masterclass and it was maybe lacking some key points regarding “AI” (by “AI” I mean Artificial Intelligence).

I guess this sense of vacuum was watered by the reading of Yuval Noah Harari’s trilogy and his obsessive signaling of AI as the number one threat that we humanity face. At that time, the seeds of curiosity where already planted by two important movies that I enjoyed in 2014: Her and Transcendence.

Of course, my curiosity is not an easy one. I started in the digital industry in 1993 and I do not have much time neither patience for vaporware neither technology flashes, that orchestra of people overselling technology and its thousand naïve, isolated pitches. This maybe because I fully recognize that Amara’s Law is one of the particularly important rules of the industry: “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run”. Last times that I made some similar efforts were with the arrival of smartphones and social networks in 2008, which I fully understood as a big inflection point; and with the irruption of sales pitches around blockchain and bitcoin in 2016, which I felt annoying and confusing.

So, this 2019, somehow, two opposite industry forces got my attention. On one hand, YouTube released a series of documentaries by the name of The Age of AI which fully opened my eyes and helped separating the wheat from the chaff. On the other hand, I found about Tristan Harris and his Center for Humane Technology, which I felt as nicely embodying my own journey and my own worries. One year later, the documentary The Social Dilemma was released. Both happenings feed up my curiosity and kicked off my will to better understand the state of the art of the industry as a whole and that of AI in specific. By the way, I strongly recommended these documentaries to you.

Following my rule of three, I chose three books. Finally, they resulted in three plus one. I felt to start by reading again a novel that would help to reframe the situation with some sweetness and magic. So, these were my choices. In total, four books, more than 1.500 pages with hundreds of margin notes and underlines, and lots of side reading and watching to deepen in those concepts, people and companies that were flowing in front of me: (más…)
