Speculative margin

The word speculation is totally related to capitalism in my imagination. When I hear that word, when I think about people who speculate with the bag, with the cryptototxanpon, and so on, I have to confess that I'm intermingled with the casings. To speculate well with “money” you have to be a well-informed person, know the fluctuations of goods and services of economic value in human societies and move the money there to seek the benefit.

But many times, seeing that behavior, I realize that I am also somehow speculative. I mean, I'm also thinking all the time about technologies. I can't imagine things from scratch, speculating on different scenarios using existing information. So somehow, I've had to start weaving new relationships with that word.

The desire to speculate awakens me from many places. Once on the bus, a Tecnalia researcher on the radio (I don't remember my name) said on the radio: "Artificial intelligences like ChatGPT have the ability to learn from zero languages with structure, with minimal input data, even if it's an invented language." My imagination woke up, and I automatically began to speculate. What if artificial intelligences had the ability to understand the language of animals? What kind of dialogue would we have with animals? Would we be willing to listen to what they have to say? How would this change the structuring of our world?...

I understand that animal language has a lot to do with bodies and behaviors, but speculating, if animals understand each other, why wouldn't an artificial intelligence that's been trained to do so understand them? Artificial intelligence collecting data from different relationships with different sensors? Taking a space for speculation also carries those results, and lately I've started to feel more comfortable with this word.

Finals on the horizon

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?

Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]

Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]

Good tail

I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]

The group to be examined

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
