In this episode, we discuss the fear that technological advances always bring. We use the Power Mac G4 as an example, which in 1999 was considered a war weapon because it had 1 GIGAFLOP of computing power. Today, the distrust is the same towards AI, which ultimately is nothing more than a parrot repeating what has already been said.

En este episodio hablamos del miedo que pueden traer los avances tecnológicos, y ponemos como ejemplo el Power Mac G4, que en 1999 fue considerado un arma de guerra por tener 1 GIGAFLOP de potencia informática.  Hoy la desconfianza es la misma hacia la IA, que al final no es más que un loro repitiendo lo ya se ha dicho.
