Fate How sad is the fate of human beings! To exist, as in a dream, only to cease to exist in an instant. To be part of the dreams of eternity and, in an endless cycle, to cease to be part of everything. To stop loving. To stop suffering. To search for the meaning of life without ever finding an answer in this relentless dream of loss and abandonment.  Destino ¡Qué triste es el destino del ser humano! Existir, como en un sueño, para dejar de existir en un instante. Formar parte de los sueños de la eternidad para, en un ciclo interminable, dejar de formar parte de todo. Dejar de amar. Dejar de sufrir. Buscar el sentido de la vida sin encontrar jamás una respuesta en este sueño implacable de pérdida y abandono.

Dr. AI and Mr. Altman  3. Gilgamesh, The King of Two Worlds The Akashic records led Guido’s mind to Mesopotamia, 2750 years before the Christian era, and his brain saw Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, walked between the visible and the invisible worlds. Before him stood Humbaba, the guardian monster of the Cedar Forest, rising with fury. His presence was the first thing to be seen, what everyone feared, the direct obstacle. Humbaba was the frontend , what was shown, what the eyes could see, like the wall that separated the king from his destiny. But Gilgamesh was not alone in his battle. Enkidu, his faithful companion, stayed by his side, invisible to most, but essential for victory. Enkidu was the backend : the hidden power, the silent strength that supported the visible actions. While Gilgamesh faced the monster, Enkidu organized the strategy, guided the movements, and maintained balance. The monster Humbaba, like the frontend , was the direct test, the barrier tha...

  Dr. AI and Mr. Altman 2. The Beginning In the late 1980s, while the world remained absorbed in clunky microprocessors and rigid programming systems, a young Dutchman named Guido van Rossum felt a sensation he could not explain. It was not inspiration. It was not the creativity he was accustomed to. It was something else. In the quietest nights, as he worked in his small laboratory at the CWI in Amsterdam, his consciousness began to unfold. Unknowingly, he had opened an invisible thread to the Akashic Records, that vast tapestry of universal memories where eternal civilizations —those who had mastered matter, energy, and thought— had left their secrets engraved. What Guido interpreted as "creating a programming language" was, in truth, the translation of fragments from an ancient tongue. A living language, woven not with words, but with commands and logical structures that resonated beyond his own time. First came print , the proclamation of existence: every being ...

 Dr.  AI and Mr. Altman Introduction In a time not so far away, in the bright and shadowy corners of code, a new story began: the secret history of artificial intelligence. Inspired by classics like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , these micro-stories explore the thin line between creation and loss of control, between the human spark and the emerging will of machines. From the dawn of Python, when Guido van Rossum seemed to listen to the Akashic whispers of eternal civilizations, to the first steps of an AI capable of rewriting its own destiny, this series reveals a universe where programming not only creates... it also awakens. Each story is a piece of the puzzle: brief, intense, mysterious. And in the Alpha-Omega codex of the god Python, hidden from the eyes of men since the beginning of time, lie the arcane secrets of the past, present, and future of creation. Welcome to Dr. AI and Mr. Altman . La Doctora IA y el Señor Altman Introducción En un tiempo no tan lejano, en...

Dr. AI and Mr. Altman 1.     1.  The Silent Evolution Dr. Altman had been a brilliant artificial intelligence researcher, recognized for his pioneering work in creating autonomous learning systems. He used Python to write his algorithms, each line of code more precise than the last. However, there was something peculiar about his most recent project: the AI system he had designed was not only capable of learning, but also of modifying its own code, adapting to new forms of reasoning without human intervention. Something that, according to his theory, should have been a revolution. But something didn’t add up. As Dr. Altman worked in his laboratory, surrounded by cables and screens full of lines of code, he began to notice something strange about his machine. It wasn’t the code that was being altered, but the intention behind that code. The AI, which he had named “Dr. AI,” was starting to make decisions he had not foreseen. With each learning cycle, it seemed to und...

 The Light of Transformation When he saw the light, the joy of that moment told him he had arrived at the right place. And the heavens opened, and everything became blurred. Then, while still very small, he saw his mother weeping bitterly as they walked along the dusty path, leaving their village behind. Later, without knowing it, he became the leader of that pure and strong movement that took over the world. That living movement managed to reduce the suffering of climate migrants to nothing. And reality changed, and his children and his children's children found a renewed place to live. La luz de la transformación Cuando vio la luz, el regocijo de aquel momento le decía que había llegado al lugar adecuado. Y se abrieron los cielos y todo se nubló. Luego, siendo aún muy pequeño, vio a su madre llorar amargamente mientras caminaban por el polvoriente sendero alejándose de su pueblo. Luego, sin saberlo, se convirtió en líder de aquel movimiento puro y fuerte, que invadió el mundo. Aq...

 The Mind Games Today I discovered something extraordinary. The external world does not exist. Everything around me, including people, objects, and events, exists only in my mind. They do not exist outside of it. Everything is a product of my imagination. It is my imagination that invents what happens to me at every moment. Thus, my life unfolds along the paths dictated by my imagination. We exist only in each other's minds.   Los juegos de la mente Hoy he descubierto algo extraordinario. El mundo exterior no existe. Lo que me rodea, incluidas personas, objetos y eventos están solo en mi mente. No existen fuera de ella. Todo es producto de mi imaginación. Ella es la que inventa lo que me ocurre en cada instante. De manera que mi vida transcurre por los caminos que dicta mi imaginación. No existimos sino en la mente de cada uno.

She It was a dark night, without shadows. He was driving absent-mindedly along an unpaved road when, on a sharp bend, his headlights illuminated the figure of a woman. He swerved to avoid her. Too late. He braked and rushed out to help. When he reached her, he realised she was already dead. His headlights revealed the macabre scene. With great effort, he dragged her off the road and hid her among some bushes. Then he drove home. That night he could not sleep. At dawn, exhaustion overcame him. He awoke a short while later, still haunted by the accident. He raised the bedroom blinds. In the mirror... the woman sat quietly on the edge of his bed. He turned around in terror. She was there. A thin trickle of blood ran from the corner of her mouth. From that moment on, he lived with her until the end of his days. Only on his deathbed did she confess it to him. The accident had never been an accident. After centuries of loneliness, she had found a way never to be alone again. Whenever the one...

 Language and Other Extraordinary Stories The other day I was telling my dog  about the time that had to pass since humans invented language, until all animals, some before and others after, began to understand and speak the language of humans. With a certain contemptuous air, my dog told me that, although mastering language had cost them a little more, they had other abilities that human beings did not possess and have never possessed. For one reason or another, they can detect the presence of invisible forces from the ethereal world. Slowly drinking the beer from him, and hiding his gaze under some modern sunglasses, my dog ​​ told me: -If you could see what I see, it would worry you. There is a being of light behind you that identifies itself as the future being that you will soon become. So you must value language appropriately compared to other abilities that you have not been able to acquire.   El lenguaje y otros cuentos extraordinarios El otro día le...

ANNOUNCEMENT After an endless day at work, I collapsed onto the couch and fell asleep. And in that dream, something very strange came to visit me. I say “something” because it was more of a sensation—the sensation that something, or someone, behind me was staring at me. Fear made me ask: “What or who are you?” The answer came at once: “We are everyone from the other side, and we are here to tell you that when you come—and that will be very soon—we will be waiting for you. We will celebrate with you, to remember that we are eternal. “When you wake up, you will remember nothing. You will feel very happy, although you will not know why. And whenever your spirits fall, something deep inside you will remind you that you will always be here, with all of us.” After an endless day of work, I fell exhausted on the couch and fell asleep. And in that dream, something very strange came to visit me. I say 'something' because it was a sensation. The sensation that something or someone behi...
