Ancestral Alienation VI

The way we communicate has always been transformed, perhaps at different times with the pace of technological advances. But now everything is going to who knows where, far beyond emojis and stickers. Which, by the way, artificial intelligence already understands more or less well. As much as a person can understand what another says with a gif. And perhaps thinking that machines will become part of our family is a long way off, but knowing that we have to understand how to communicate with them is essential. I think we are closer to our most distant relatives or our primate ancestors and siblings, than to our descendants, straw cyborgs, whose cognitive abilities augmented by brain-machine interfaces, I believe, will seem intelligible to us. What I hope is that you continue dreaming, remembering and inhabiting and discovering new realities.
