🎀 Club de Lectura para Mujeres – Junio: El túnel
El túnel (1948) es la primera novela de Ernesto Sábato y una de las obras fundamentales de la literatura argentina. En ella, Juan Pablo Castel, pintor reconocido y solitario, narra desde la cárcel los hechos que lo condujeron a cometer un crimen.
La novela es un monólogo interior tenso y sin respiro, donde Sábato disecciona la mente de un hombre que confunde la conexión real con una proyección de sus propios fantasmas. Celos, paranoia, soledad existencial: El túnel es tanto un thriller psicológico como un ensayo sobre el aislamiento humano.
¡Te esperamos en esta conversación! 💭🧚♀️🎀

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
