La inteligencia artificial generativa ha llegado. Y con ella la inevitable confusión que conlleva intentar saber cómo afectará a nuestra vida laboral y personal y, también, al futuro de la humanidad.

What if everything you've ever known—every thought, every emotion, every moment—was part of a simulation? Once dismissed as science fiction, the Simulation Hypothesis has surged into mainstream discussion, embraced by philosophers, physicists, and tech visionaries alike. As computing power soars and virtual realities grow more immersive, the idea that our universe might itself be a simulation becomes less absurd—and more plausible. But if we are in a simulation, the next question is both thrilling and unsettling: Who—or what—is running it? And why?
