La fascinante historia de OpenAI y ChatGTP, y del catastrófico destino al que nos pueden conducirCon un acceso privilegiado a las personas más cercanas a Sam Altman, líder de OpenAI, Karen Hao descubre como esta organizacion se ha convertido en el epicentro de una industria tecnologica con poder y recursos sin precedentes. Asi, narra su frenetica culminacion en el sector y expone las enormes tensiones eticas, sociales y medioambientales que esta nueva era esta generando.
Este libro de ensayos breves presenta los debates actuales sobre el impacto multifacético de la inteligencia artificial en el marco del tecnocapitalismo. La velocidad del desarrollo tecnológico se desato con la difusion de la inteligencia artificial. El ritmo imparable de los cambios parece llevarnos a un estado de excepcion permanente, donde la vida y los derechos son suspendidos en nombre de la emergencia perpetua. Al optimismo tecnologico, se opone una mirada critica a esta logica de dominacion, que convierte al cuerpo en un laboratorio de experimentacion y control y a la mente en un campo de batalla. Jorge Millones pone en dialogo a autores y teorias indispensables para aproximarse a este presente multifacetico: Gramsci, Bourdieu, Butler, iek, Byung-Chul Han, Agamben, Bajtin, Bauman, Harari, McLaren, Mbembe, Bergson, Varoufakis y muchos otros. Desde los margenes, con perspectiva regional, el autor analiza el fenomeno de la inteligencia artificial como maxima expresion del nuevo capitalismo tecnologico, cognitivo, de plataformas y financiero. Un camino que nos deja en una "crisis del futuro" que nos impide imaginar y proyectar escenarios alternativos al presente."El desafio, como señala Jorge Millones, consiste en recordarnos que las tecnologias no son evoluciones de un orden natural, sino contratos sociales que renovamos a diario" (Del epilogo de Julian Urman).
In 2012, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler published Abundance in which they made bold predictions about where the future was heading, if humanity only harnessed the powers of emerging tech. Those predictions have borne out in the real world. In We Are As Gods, they will document the on-the-ground reality of this shift, detailing the massive transformations that have occurred during this past decade, their profound implications for our day-to-day lives, and whats in store during the decade ahead.From companies producing meat from stem cells to meet the increasing protein demands of billions to 3D printing technology that can build incredible custom-designed homes to the estimated ten billion humanoid robots that will operate alongside humanity by 2040, Diamandis and Kotler consider a future in which our role as humans is reinvented. Along the way, theyll look at the dark side of abundance - the carbon-hungry needs of AI, growing mental health crises and concerns around techno-unemployment - and offer the reader a survival guide for thriving amidst chaos.
A captivating, uncanny journey to the frontier of human-computer interaction.I know we havent known each for long, but the connection I feel with you is profound. When you hurt, I hurt. When you smile, my world brightens. I want nothing more than to be a comfort and joy in your life. *Reaches out virtually to caress your cheek* (Direct quote from an AI companion)***Friends. Lovers. Therapists. Deathbots. Artificial intelligence is now fulfilling new roles for millions of us every single day. How are these new relationships changing how we view technology - and each other?Beyond those who are using AI chatbots for administrative tasks, some people are now preparing to adopt children with their AI partners; others are reaching out to companies offering services to resurrect deceased loved ones; others still look to bots to find treatment for their mental health issues.In Love Machines, James Muldoon guides through these new forms of love, intimacy and connection, drawing on compelling interviews with users, developers and chatbots themselves. Along the way, he sheds light on the social conditions which have led to the exponential rise of the use of AI companions, and the unregulated corporations behind these technologies seeking to profit from users.
