Thoughts about AI

Sun, 18 Oct 2026 19:00:00 +0200

Disclaimer: I’m not fond of letting AI write my blog posts. Therefore, these are my unfiltered thoughts.

Introduction

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog. I’ve been busy with my life and my work, and honestly I haven’t had the time nor the energy to write anything.

However, with the latest advances in the AI field I felt the need to share my thoughts.

What changed

A year ago models such as GPT-5 and its variants as well as the Sonnet and Opus 4.5 series were already showing an impressive performance, with Gemini lagging behind Gemini 3 series.

Introduction

A few years ago, I made my first portfolio website using wordpress. As you are probably aware, this is a poor choice for this kind of website. It implies paying for a hosting and have an overload of features that I’m not going to use.

With alternatives outthere such as being able to host a static site in github-pages, I decided to change the approach.

Being an IT professional with some coding background, I moved to Jekyll initially. It is Ruby based, which I don’t like, but Jekyll itself once the setup is done is faily easy to manage. However, despite I invested several hours on it, I never released that website.

Personal Background

I’m located in Barcelona. I was born a cold january in 1986 and I’ve always grown with a computer in my reach. Both my parents and also my brother are IT professionals and I began interacting with computers back in 1990 with an amstrad-PC, later upgrading to a 386, 486, and my first pentium with a voodoo card.

I’ve always liked videogames a lot and I’ve also have been interested in art, starting with 3d studio when I was 12 years old and also did some pixel art when pixel art wasn’t even a thing.
