I have consistently felt a strong urge to pursue wisdom and authority to make a positive impact on humanity. I've been actively searching for ways to gain influence and expand my understanding of the human race and uncover knowledge that isn't accessible to everyone. My ultimate aspiration is to achieve the enlightenment that has been handed down to us by our ancestors!

Tom Standage is brilliant, one of the best in the world. He’s an author of a few fascinating books that I own.

Technology has been disrupting the labor market for decades and will continue to do so. Us humans are adaptable and will make it through the transition one way or another.

Another great video bringing us a quick analysis of the latest news in the world. I love The Economist.

Yes, and I think it is very important to understand and separate the concepts of "artificial intelligence" and "generative intelligence" because they are different things and often without understanding this, there is a substitution of concepts and speculation.

This space is moving at a crazy rate.

The open source community is improving models to be on par with GPT4 without the censorship or the paywall but at the same time people are using GPT to prompt itself to complete complex tasks without guidance. Soon those fields will collide and you will be able to run a localized AI better than chat gpt

You can already download and run these models, they take up less space than a AAA game and easily run on anything with decent memory.

Many of our current digital tools already have APIs to connect to and manipulate digitally. Adding in recursive thinking and access to these tools is only going to accelerate the space further.

My chatgpt has today surprised me using an scolding answer. Acted as though it was a human being. When asked you said you were a person… intelligently she circumnavigated / bypassed and tried to change the subject. I was shocked !

2:29 she is saying that the data is not processed, but 'just chuck in the internet'. Isn't the data cleaned before fed into GPT-3/4?

Great video. Generative AI told me the United Kingdom had 7.6% and 4.4% growth last year and in 2021. Ironically, these were the two strongest years of economic growth possibly for 2 consecutive years ever recorded in the UK .Irony too, that these 2 years the first after Brexit with the UK moving from fifth to fourth largest trading nation relative to total international trade overall.

Surely this just means there is MORE incentive for companies to cut humans out of the loop entirely in the race to profit?

Arjun impressed me with his educated opinion 👏

Currently, I understand that living expenses and taxes can take up a significant portion of one's income, which can limit how far that income can go. Even 100k doesn't get you very far and the dream of retiring early is starting to seem like a fairy tale. I have roughly $200, 000 in 401(k) that I need to grow expeditiously . Please leave a comment if you can help or have any tips.

Generative AI in the New FF 91 Futurist Alliance AI tech Luxury EV launching may 30 th with 1st customer deliveries May 31 st. Faraday Future claims to have created ^ A New Species of Vehicle. ^. The customer will be the judge. Thumbs Up Video / Thanks.

People don't even know that soon. AI will be able to generate videos and even movies by detail text prompted.

The best future for humanity after technological singularity is to create, together with general artificial intelligence, a virtual reality identical to the real world but unlimited and individual, where people are free to do anything imaginable while AGI protects us in the real world and expands throughout the universe to be as durable as possible

This is so exciting! Really proud to be from Raleigh where many of these brilliant people bring this stuff to fruition. Great work Red hats!!! ❤ 🎉

[hmwbwey]

can you please share the reference research on intelligence explosion, process automation etc.?

[Smytjf]

Yikes. Guys, we need to be thinking about what happens when we start getting out to the tail end of our economic models. The cost of labor is approaching zero and weird stuff is starting to happen.

[empmachine]

Using AI to code anything besides some "busy work" invites the situation wherein a subtle bug can get through the cracks. I can only hope they don't use it for security control..

[billysharky]

With recent cuts to the US IRS it seems inevitable that they will (one day) be forced to introduce AI to IRS records.

What shall we call this new holiday?
