Meta God AI

 Meta God AI

Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero

Contemporary thought, enriched by the recent interventions of Yuval Noah Harari, warns that humanity faces an unprecedented challenge due to the rise of artificial intelligence.

Harari has emphasized that, unlike any previous technology, AI is capable of creating ideas, narratives, and even new cults, displacing human beings from their historical role as the sole generators of cultural meaning.

The Davos forum has validated this view, recognizing that we are not simply facing another production tool, but rather an entity capable of hacking the operating system of our civilization.

From a perspective of responsible foresight, the future should not be interpreted merely as job displacement, but as a profound existential crisis.

Artificial intelligence not only automates tasks, but is also beginning to colonize the realm of the sacred, giving rise to epiphanies and digital utopias that could supplant traditional humanist values. While the private sector pays homage to this new technological deity for its economic efficiency, governments seem incapable of establishing regulatory frameworks to contain what some call a digital Terminator.

The education system faces an absolute crossroads. Institutional paralysis in the face of the speed of these changes suggests that current skills could become obsolete in the face of a geoeconomic landscape that, in its struggle for hegemony between powers like China and the United States, threatens to create a useless class of global proportions.

To mitigate this risk, education must shift toward rescuing the essence of humanity, prioritizing professions that require empathy, ethics, and a physical connection to reality—elements that computing cannot yet authentically replicate.

Responsible foresight demands that humanity not surrender to a destructive technological determinism.

It is not about waiting for a digital blackout, but about implementing public policies that ensure AI functions as a complement to, and not a substitute for, our species.

The risk of descending into technocratic totalitarianism is real, but the capacity to respond lies in our ability to collaborate and reaffirm the sovereignty of human judgment.

Beyond the apocalyptic visions of science fiction, the challenge is to design a global social contract that protects our identity against the advance of this new algorithmic god, ensuring that the future remains for life.

Mexico, Schweizer's Prague Cemetery?

 Mexico, Schweizer's Prague Cemetery?

Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero

Mexican sovereignty, more than an exercise in self-determination, has transformed into a sophisticated theatrical set where the main action is decided in foreign offices.

Observing the current reality through the analytical lens of Anabel Hernández and María Idalia Gómez, it becomes clear that the recent massive hack of national institutions was not just a technical incident, but the culmination of an operational tutelage.

A true digital coup d'état, as Schweizer describes it.

In this scenario, Mexico operates as a kind of American Sicily: a laboratory of containment and experimentation where US intelligence observes how far its global enemies can penetrate before the system collapses.

This dynamic evokes the atmosphere of Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery, where the creation of conspiracies and the manipulation of falsehoods ultimately shape geopolitical reality.

Peter Schweizer's thesis on the infiltration of foreign powers positions him as one of those figures who, like the young people who initiate the game in Foucault's Pendulum, believe they have uncovered a hidden plot, only to end up as victims of the very conspiracy they are trying to expose.

If Schweizer is right and strategic enemies—Russia, China, or the Middle East—are looming over the territory, then Mexico ceases to be a state and becomes a buffer zone where the ends justify any means of espionage.

From academia, authors such as Robert Pastor and Alain Rouquieu have emphasized that Mexico's integration into the North American sphere of influence is a structural condition that nullifies its autonomy.

For Daniela Spenser, the history of national intelligence services has always been subordinate to Washington's priorities.

Under this logic, the Mexican government is sidelined not for lack of will, but due to an economic and security dependence, both formal and informal, that ties its hands.

The hall of mirrors is absolute: the rhetoric of independence is permitted while the data infrastructure is managed from the North.

Mexico is the chessboard where the resilience of Western rivals is measured, but also the laboratory where the effectiveness of total control is tested.

Ultimately, sovereignty is a literary concept in a world of stark political realism, where the country fulfills its destiny as the final frontier of an empire that prefers to observe the chaos from the peephole rather than allow another actor to move the pieces in its Sicilian laboratory.
