Hello, I’m Mauricio Arreola-Garcia or Mauricio A-G for short. I can tell you stories that inspire you to participate in building the future.

Hello there! This personal website reflects my creative, fun-loving side. For my services, please refer to my professional sites.

⦿ I'm a citizen of the Internet, with profiles and sites across the web. The Internet belongs to all of us, and we can all build it together.

⦿ I'm an ambassador to many online and offline communities which have inspired me and changed my life. I am paying the favor forward by sharing my most valuable messages and stories with others.

⦿ I'm an intellectual explorer, constantly on the hunt for new ideas, research, and culture. I build and write on this site to learn in public, develop new ideas, and have new experiences.

⦿ I've been a story-teller my whole life. At times, I have written public speeches and performances (humorous, dramatic, informative, and more) for the sake of bringing people together. All of my writing helps me to find my voice.

⦿ I'm a business intelligence analyst, with skills in many software tools for creating informative knowledge assets. Building this site has helped me learn and apply these tools to new heights.

I've been working professionally as a business intelligence analyst and analytics consultant. Some of my specialties include data visualization, forecasting, report design, data engineering, developing KPIs and metrics, knowledge management, and writing documents. I see opportunities to perform these skills better using new innovations in writing and presentation. This website is a way for me to sharpen my skills.

For fun, I like to listen to music, play musical instruments, exercise, play video games, and participate in online culture.

Some of my favorite intellectual topics include machine learning, psychology, the science of learning, outer space, human culture, online culture, dating culture, and world history.

The AG Eye (the site/publication)

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can.[1][2] It is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and a common topic in science fiction and futures studies. AGI can also be referred to as strong AI,[3][4][5] full AI,[6] or general intelligent action,[7] although some academic sources reserve the term "strong AI" for computer programs that experience sentience or consciousness.[a]

Achieving a true AGI, defined above, is an aspiration for academics and developers in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence. An artificial agent with the status of AGI would be powerful enough to change the world. Among specialists in the field, it is controversial whether it is even possible to develop a non-living AGI, but the public release of ChatGPT and competing apps has certainly made the possibility more salient than ever. In addition, the pursuit of this goal has led to breakthroughs in technology, philosophy, and education for everyone to potentially become a powerful agent.

"The AG Eye" is my symbol for representing the shrewd perspective that I, Mauricio AG, bring to new experiences and topics. I aspire to gain the mental agility, toughness, and adaptability to learn to perform any task I desire, with the humbly constraint understanding that I am only capable of mastering a finite number of skills in life. I made the logo above as a symbol of my quest for truth, capability, and perspective. I use my personal research projects on this site as a way to sharpen my perspective and learn to engage the world in new ways.

I originally started The AG Eye as a creative outlet for my ideas, to allow other curious minds to find me more easily, and to provide a growing record of my personal research projects. I aim to write about topics using an rigorous mindset, interesting source material, and a witty writing style.

Thanks for reading my blog, and I hope you enjoy your time here. 👋
