👻Weekly | L'esperit tecnològic envaeix Sant Cugat
To be or not to be. That is the question.
But please, someone tell me: if a machine can already think, code and execute… what have we become? Yesterday, we asked it to write us an email. Today, we ask it to run our company. And it does. It plans, finds tools, makes decisions. It even comes up with solutions we hadn't imagined ourselves.
And now we're told that coding is no longer a competitive advantage. That anyone can build. That perhaps the next trillion-dollar company will be a software company disguised as a services firm.
But tell me: who makes sure all this actually works? Who validates the work of a thousand agents operating simultaneously?
Because handing the keys to the kingdom to a machine is one thing.
Knowing what it will do with them is another.
To be or not to be? No.
The question is something else: If machines can already do the work, what is it that still makes us indispensable?
