WEBVTT - UL NO. 422: To Survive AI, We Must Become Creators

0:00:22.363 --> 0:00:25.633
<v S1>Welcome to Unsupervised Learning, a security, AI and meaning focused

0:00:25.633 --> 0:00:28.513
<v S1>podcast that looks at how best to thrive as humans

0:00:28.513 --> 0:00:32.743
<v S1>in a post AI world. It combines original ideas, analysis,

0:00:32.743 --> 0:00:35.953
<v S1>and mental models to bring not just the news, but

0:00:35.953 --> 0:00:43.073
<v S1>why it matters and how to respond. All right. Welcome

0:00:43.073 --> 0:00:45.983
<v S1>to unsupervised learning. This is Daniel Missler. So we added

0:00:45.983 --> 0:00:48.503
<v S1>a ton of new patterns to fabric. This week. We

0:00:48.503 --> 0:00:51.653
<v S1>added crate threat model which basically you pipe in the

0:00:51.653 --> 0:00:54.593
<v S1>kind of situation that you're worried about in it outputs

0:00:54.593 --> 0:00:57.893
<v S1>you like a logical threat model. Based on an essay

0:00:57.893 --> 0:01:00.353
<v S1>that I did a while back. Find a hidden message.

0:01:00.353 --> 0:01:03.173
<v S1>This thing is so cool. You basically send in any

0:01:03.173 --> 0:01:06.263
<v S1>essay or article or whatever. You're not sure if you're

0:01:06.263 --> 0:01:08.513
<v S1>being lied to, if or if the person is being

0:01:08.513 --> 0:01:12.203
<v S1>disingenuous or whatever, and it'll actually tell you what they

0:01:12.203 --> 0:01:15.323
<v S1>claim to be trying to say versus what they actually

0:01:15.323 --> 0:01:18.773
<v S1>are saying. So that's a really cool piece of functionality.

0:01:19.403 --> 0:01:21.203
<v S1>And I put a bunch of stuff through it. It's

0:01:21.203 --> 0:01:24.143
<v S1>it's pretty accurate and have it even like fully tweaked

0:01:24.143 --> 0:01:28.223
<v S1>it yet create Ascii visualization. So this thing will actually

0:01:28.223 --> 0:01:32.813
<v S1>create a visualization, a very rudimentary Ascii visualization of basically

0:01:32.813 --> 0:01:35.513
<v S1>any concept. So you can send in like the meaning

0:01:35.513 --> 0:01:39.413
<v S1>of life or the Dunning-Kruger effect or really sort of

0:01:39.413 --> 0:01:43.283
<v S1>conceptual things, and it'll just draw a picture for you.

0:01:43.283 --> 0:01:46.013
<v S1>So you can like explain something to a kid or something.

0:01:46.013 --> 0:01:48.023
<v S1>So I thought that was pretty cool. You could do

0:01:48.023 --> 0:01:51.053
<v S1>the same thing with Mark map, which I didn't know

0:01:51.053 --> 0:01:54.263
<v S1>it was. It's basically like a markdown version of a

0:01:54.263 --> 0:01:57.233
<v S1>mind map. So you do the same thing. You take

0:01:57.233 --> 0:01:59.363
<v S1>any concept, you send it into this and it builds

0:01:59.363 --> 0:02:01.823
<v S1>you a mind map of those things and actually has

0:02:01.823 --> 0:02:05.273
<v S1>links and everything, and you can actually expand and contract

0:02:05.273 --> 0:02:09.743
<v S1>the mind map. It's really cool. And same for mermaid visualization.

0:02:09.743 --> 0:02:14.423
<v S1>This is a JavaScript based, also markdown, but JavaScript. And

0:02:14.423 --> 0:02:16.553
<v S1>you put it into one of the renderers and you

0:02:16.553 --> 0:02:20.063
<v S1>could basically see a mind map or a visualization of

0:02:20.063 --> 0:02:22.943
<v S1>the thing. It's more rich though, than some of the

0:02:22.943 --> 0:02:25.703
<v S1>other ones, so that was really cool. We also added

0:02:25.703 --> 0:02:31.913
<v S1>early crew eye integration. So many, many thanks to Jonathan Dunn,

0:02:31.913 --> 0:02:34.673
<v S1>because he's been working on so many of these pieces

0:02:34.673 --> 0:02:37.913
<v S1>of client functionality, and we now have our first one working.

0:02:37.913 --> 0:02:42.503
<v S1>It's like you run fabric agents, trip planner, trip underscore, planner,

0:02:42.503 --> 0:02:46.013
<v S1>and it will actually run a trip planner for you.

0:02:46.013 --> 0:02:48.113
<v S1>It'll ask you questions, where are you going? What do

0:02:48.113 --> 0:02:50.213
<v S1>you want to do while you're there? And it spins

0:02:50.213 --> 0:02:52.523
<v S1>up a team of agents and actually does that for you.

0:02:52.523 --> 0:02:56.453
<v S1>So that's now integrated and brand new. Just this morning.

0:02:56.453 --> 0:03:01.433
<v S1>It's not even in the newsletter yet is local model support.

0:03:01.433 --> 0:03:05.333
<v S1>So you can now run local model. You actually do

0:03:05.363 --> 0:03:08.843
<v S1>capital L and then if you do like llama too

0:03:08.843 --> 0:03:11.813
<v S1>it'll run. You have to install a llama and get

0:03:11.813 --> 0:03:14.573
<v S1>it running. But that's like one command. And once it's

0:03:14.573 --> 0:03:17.903
<v S1>done and you have the model actually downloaded, it'll give

0:03:17.903 --> 0:03:19.853
<v S1>you the result from a local one. So you're not

0:03:19.853 --> 0:03:23.333
<v S1>even being charged any tokens. And this thing totally works.

0:03:23.333 --> 0:03:26.243
<v S1>Just got that running in. The documentation is going as well.

0:03:26.243 --> 0:03:29.393
<v S1>So thanks again to Jonathan Dunn for that work. And

0:03:29.393 --> 0:03:31.943
<v S1>you want to just yeah, you want to rerun setup

0:03:31.943 --> 0:03:34.703
<v S1>and restart your shell and then it'll work. All right.

0:03:34.703 --> 0:03:38.183
<v S1>So my work this week wrote this essay called To

0:03:38.183 --> 0:03:42.173
<v S1>Survive I we must become creators. Highly recommend this one.

0:03:42.173 --> 0:03:45.233
<v S1>Especially for anyone who is in school or has a

0:03:45.233 --> 0:03:47.783
<v S1>loved one in school. It was kind of spawned by

0:03:47.783 --> 0:03:50.843
<v S1>a post that I saw from somebody on Hacker News.

0:03:50.843 --> 0:03:53.633
<v S1>In fact, I'm just going to click into this thing. Yeah,

0:03:53.633 --> 0:03:57.293
<v S1>this post from Hacker News click into that as well. Yeah.

0:03:57.293 --> 0:03:59.603
<v S1>So they're basically saying I'm about to finish my CSS

0:03:59.603 --> 0:04:02.423
<v S1>degree in May, and I'm already sick of the tech industry.

0:04:02.423 --> 0:04:04.673
<v S1>I'm at a loss. I know the job market could

0:04:04.673 --> 0:04:07.823
<v S1>get better soon, but there's no guarantee that it will.

0:04:07.823 --> 0:04:11.213
<v S1>And things are looking bad for us with less experience.

0:04:11.213 --> 0:04:15.083
<v S1>And basically just it's kind of sad. It's kind of

0:04:15.083 --> 0:04:17.723
<v S1>a real situation that's going on. So I wanted to

0:04:17.723 --> 0:04:20.693
<v S1>address that, and I think this is the way that

0:04:20.693 --> 0:04:22.973
<v S1>people should be thinking about it. In my opinion, this

0:04:22.973 --> 0:04:27.713
<v S1>is just my opinion. But I think that coders and

0:04:27.713 --> 0:04:30.053
<v S1>lots of people like that are simply not going to

0:04:30.053 --> 0:04:35.063
<v S1>have jobs, right? And some things will go faster than others.

0:04:35.063 --> 0:04:38.123
<v S1>But do a quick little walkthrough through here. You want

0:04:38.123 --> 0:04:41.243
<v S1>to read the whole thing, but basically what is a

0:04:41.243 --> 0:04:45.653
<v S1>creator versus a worker? So on one hand it's pretty simple, right?

0:04:45.653 --> 0:04:49.013
<v S1>So its creators come up with new solutions to human problems.

0:04:49.013 --> 0:04:52.013
<v S1>Workers are the people who execute on building them and

0:04:52.013 --> 0:04:55.043
<v S1>building those solutions. And then like a corporate setting, it

0:04:55.043 --> 0:04:58.103
<v S1>would be like creators are the people who determine what

0:04:58.103 --> 0:05:00.293
<v S1>to build, how to build it, if it's a new thing,

0:05:00.293 --> 0:05:02.093
<v S1>and then how to sell it in the current market.

0:05:02.093 --> 0:05:05.693
<v S1>And workers are the people who make that happen. Right now,

0:05:05.693 --> 0:05:08.423
<v S1>there are situations like we talk about this draw the

0:05:08.423 --> 0:05:11.783
<v S1>rest of the owl. There are some situations where it's

0:05:11.783 --> 0:05:14.573
<v S1>not quite clear. If it's if you're doing a creator

0:05:14.573 --> 0:05:18.803
<v S1>job or an execution job, right? Because if you're making

0:05:18.803 --> 0:05:22.253
<v S1>something that's never been built, technically you're executing, but you're

0:05:22.253 --> 0:05:25.823
<v S1>making something that's brand new, you're kind of creating, especially

0:05:25.823 --> 0:05:27.353
<v S1>if you're doing that and you have your own company,

0:05:27.353 --> 0:05:30.773
<v S1>you're definitely creating. But the vice versa is also true.

0:05:30.773 --> 0:05:33.383
<v S1>So it's like if you used to be a creator,

0:05:33.383 --> 0:05:35.903
<v S1>but now you're creating things that kind of are kind

0:05:35.903 --> 0:05:38.363
<v S1>of a commodity at this point. Well, now you're more

0:05:38.363 --> 0:05:40.883
<v S1>of an executor than a creator. So it goes both ways.

0:05:41.183 --> 0:05:43.313
<v S1>And here's the way to look at it. Basically, I

0:05:43.313 --> 0:05:45.833
<v S1>say as the amount of creation goes up, the amount

0:05:45.833 --> 0:05:49.433
<v S1>of execution will balloon massively, but it's going to be

0:05:49.433 --> 0:05:52.703
<v S1>AI that are actually filling those jobs, right? It's not

0:05:52.703 --> 0:05:55.703
<v S1>going to be humans that are doing all that execution.

0:05:55.703 --> 0:05:58.523
<v S1>Once AI comes online is good enough to do a

0:05:58.523 --> 0:06:00.653
<v S1>lot of this stuff, which I don't think is going

0:06:00.653 --> 0:06:04.823
<v S1>to be long. Humans are basically hard to train and retrain,

0:06:04.823 --> 0:06:09.953
<v S1>and human competence is fixed, right? Our IQs are not

0:06:09.953 --> 0:06:11.753
<v S1>going to go up that fast. I mean, we might

0:06:11.753 --> 0:06:15.413
<v S1>get some improvement on our IQs from, you know, some

0:06:15.413 --> 0:06:18.983
<v S1>AI or some enhancements or nutrition. There's lots of different

0:06:18.983 --> 0:06:22.493
<v S1>things can improve our our IQs as humans, but it's

0:06:22.493 --> 0:06:25.043
<v S1>not going to go up nearly as fast as AI is.

0:06:25.043 --> 0:06:29.543
<v S1>And ultimately humans are expensive, sensitive, and need constant replacement.

0:06:29.543 --> 0:06:31.973
<v S1>And I won't have these problems, right? It's going to

0:06:31.973 --> 0:06:34.433
<v S1>scale with creation. We can make as many AIS as

0:06:34.433 --> 0:06:37.283
<v S1>we need to do a particular job. When you upgrade

0:06:37.283 --> 0:06:39.953
<v S1>an AI, it's pretty easy to roll it out, right?

0:06:39.953 --> 0:06:43.253
<v S1>And they aren't conscious, they don't get tired, they don't complain,

0:06:43.253 --> 0:06:46.103
<v S1>they don't go to HR, you know, to start investigation

0:06:46.103 --> 0:06:49.433
<v S1>and they don't quit. And they're getting smarter at an

0:06:49.433 --> 0:06:53.273
<v S1>insane rate. So what do you tangibly do? Right. You know,

0:06:53.273 --> 0:06:55.763
<v S1>what fields do you go into? How do I steer

0:06:55.763 --> 0:06:59.363
<v S1>my kids towards something or away from something? And should

0:06:59.363 --> 0:07:01.853
<v S1>I still go to college? So my advice is to

0:07:01.853 --> 0:07:05.873
<v S1>focus on creation, on ideas, on making new things, focus

0:07:05.873 --> 0:07:07.733
<v S1>on problems that exist in the world that need to

0:07:07.733 --> 0:07:10.013
<v S1>be solved, and start thinking about what you could do

0:07:10.013 --> 0:07:14.093
<v S1>to solve those problems, what you can build that solves

0:07:14.093 --> 0:07:18.803
<v S1>those problems, right? And basically creating new things to solve

0:07:18.803 --> 0:07:22.523
<v S1>human problems is like the immortal job skill. It's the

0:07:22.523 --> 0:07:25.613
<v S1>best job skill that you can have. And then you

0:07:25.613 --> 0:07:29.963
<v S1>want to think of tech skill and specifically programming in

0:07:29.963 --> 0:07:34.133
<v S1>AI as the new reading and writing. It's essential. Meaning

0:07:34.133 --> 0:07:36.863
<v S1>if you're not good at them, then you're probably not

0:07:36.863 --> 0:07:41.523
<v S1>going to succeed. You're probably going to be like an executor. And.

0:07:42.193 --> 0:07:46.393
<v S1>Even as a creator who's actually giving these this work

0:07:46.393 --> 0:07:50.563
<v S1>to eyes, you still need to be decently fluid, fluent

0:07:50.563 --> 0:07:55.063
<v S1>in programming in AI because they are the language of creation.

0:07:55.063 --> 0:07:57.433
<v S1>You need to be able to explain yourself to AI,

0:07:57.433 --> 0:08:00.073
<v S1>and that that largely is going to be in the

0:08:00.073 --> 0:08:04.453
<v S1>language of like prompting and speaking and thinking and writing.

0:08:04.453 --> 0:08:07.333
<v S1>And some of that is going to involve programming, right?

0:08:07.513 --> 0:08:09.673
<v S1>It'll be less and less as time goes on, but

0:08:09.673 --> 0:08:11.713
<v S1>you should just learn that stuff. The other thing is

0:08:11.713 --> 0:08:13.603
<v S1>you want to get trained on this stuff, and I

0:08:13.603 --> 0:08:16.093
<v S1>think you want to get trained in two primary areas.

0:08:16.093 --> 0:08:19.033
<v S1>And I do think college actually still matters, because it's

0:08:19.033 --> 0:08:21.943
<v S1>a way of filtering the quality of a person when

0:08:21.943 --> 0:08:24.343
<v S1>they don't know anything else about you. So I think

0:08:24.343 --> 0:08:26.773
<v S1>college is still going to matter for a little while longer,

0:08:26.773 --> 0:08:30.163
<v S1>maybe like a decade or something. But when you do study,

0:08:30.163 --> 0:08:33.283
<v S1>whether it's in college or self-study, you want to be

0:08:33.283 --> 0:08:36.943
<v S1>studying two branches simultaneously. One is a hard skill that's

0:08:36.943 --> 0:08:41.353
<v S1>valuable in the market, like AI or something. AI or

0:08:41.353 --> 0:08:45.313
<v S1>development or something like that. And number two is training

0:08:45.313 --> 0:08:48.883
<v S1>on how to think. This one is even more important,

0:08:48.883 --> 0:08:51.133
<v S1>but you don't want to do it at the expense

0:08:51.133 --> 0:08:52.903
<v S1>of the first one. You want to have something, a

0:08:52.903 --> 0:08:56.743
<v S1>hard skill to go along with it. But as time

0:08:56.743 --> 0:09:00.223
<v S1>goes on, being able to think especially about problems and

0:09:00.223 --> 0:09:08.263
<v S1>solutions is like the most important thing. So liberal arts, education, philosophy, logic, dialectic,

0:09:08.263 --> 0:09:11.773
<v S1>all these things become way, way more important. They they

0:09:11.773 --> 0:09:14.563
<v S1>become the things that separate the creators and like the

0:09:14.563 --> 0:09:18.973
<v S1>owners and the, the top people from everyone else. So

0:09:18.973 --> 0:09:21.433
<v S1>you really want to focus on both of those things

0:09:21.433 --> 0:09:23.473
<v S1>in your education. You don't want to think so much

0:09:23.473 --> 0:09:25.963
<v S1>about fields or companies. You want to think more about

0:09:25.963 --> 0:09:29.863
<v S1>problems and problem spaces, right? What are the problems that

0:09:29.863 --> 0:09:32.203
<v S1>will go away versus what are the problems that are

0:09:32.203 --> 0:09:34.243
<v S1>going to stay with us all the time? And you

0:09:34.243 --> 0:09:37.543
<v S1>want to go to where the problems are that interest you,

0:09:37.543 --> 0:09:39.643
<v S1>and you'd be good at solving. And most of all,

0:09:39.643 --> 0:09:41.323
<v S1>you want to get out of the mindset of being

0:09:41.323 --> 0:09:43.993
<v S1>a worker and enter the mindset of being a creator

0:09:43.993 --> 0:09:46.273
<v S1>or a builder. So you don't want to be the

0:09:46.273 --> 0:09:48.883
<v S1>person building other people's ideas. You want to be the

0:09:48.883 --> 0:09:52.933
<v S1>person creating ideas, and in finding the problems and building

0:09:52.933 --> 0:09:55.543
<v S1>things that solve those problems. And that's the summary there,

0:09:55.543 --> 0:09:58.363
<v S1>and that's essentially the post. So I didn't think we

0:09:58.363 --> 0:09:59.683
<v S1>were going to do the whole thing, but that was

0:09:59.683 --> 0:10:03.103
<v S1>essentially it. All right. So that was that one also

0:10:03.103 --> 0:10:07.663
<v S1>posted our sponsored interview with BlackBerry. The second one, BlackBerry

0:10:07.663 --> 0:10:13.243
<v S1>silence with Ismael Valenzuela, and he is the Threat research

0:10:13.243 --> 0:10:17.173
<v S1>and intelligence VP at BlackBerry silence. And we talked about

0:10:17.173 --> 0:10:19.213
<v S1>a whole bunch of cool stuff there. So definitely go

0:10:19.213 --> 0:10:22.693
<v S1>check that one out. Going into security, researchers created a

0:10:22.693 --> 0:10:27.403
<v S1>worm that exploits generative AI and spreads via prompt injection.

0:10:27.403 --> 0:10:29.713
<v S1>So there's kind of a and they named it Morris two,

0:10:29.743 --> 0:10:32.593
<v S1>which I thought was pretty cool. GitHub is now blocking

0:10:32.593 --> 0:10:37.273
<v S1>commits with secrets and public repos. That's really cool. Biden

0:10:37.273 --> 0:10:40.633
<v S1>is viewing Chinese connected cars as a national security threat,

0:10:40.633 --> 0:10:43.993
<v S1>which I'm very happy about. Got to sponsor here. Collide.

0:10:43.993 --> 0:10:48.253
<v S1>Thank you to collide for sponsoring us. Military's Project Maven

0:10:48.253 --> 0:10:52.393
<v S1>is now actively using AI to identify and strike targets,

0:10:52.393 --> 0:10:57.163
<v S1>marking a significant shift from skepticism around doing this to

0:10:57.163 --> 0:10:59.923
<v S1>actually relying on it. And they've already done this in Yemen,

0:10:59.923 --> 0:11:04.663
<v S1>the Red sea, Iraq and Syria. Shot spotter who renamed

0:11:04.663 --> 0:11:08.773
<v S1>themselves probably to get around some PR drama, is now

0:11:08.773 --> 0:11:12.793
<v S1>called sound Thinking and uses hidden sensors for gunfire detection.

0:11:12.793 --> 0:11:17.473
<v S1>And it basically reveals exact locations of those sensors. And

0:11:17.473 --> 0:11:21.853
<v S1>this data was previously unknown. Researchers found over 200 hacking

0:11:21.853 --> 0:11:27.103
<v S1>services using AI. Things like bots like bad GPT. Cryptocurrency

0:11:27.103 --> 0:11:30.763
<v S1>enthusiasts are being targeted with Mac malware. A group of hackers,

0:11:30.763 --> 0:11:34.933
<v S1>including Rizzo my buddy Joseph Thakur, found some vulnerabilities in

0:11:34.933 --> 0:11:37.573
<v S1>Google's AI and cloud systems, and they got 50 grand

0:11:37.573 --> 0:11:40.903
<v S1>for that and a new vulnerability in hugging faces Safe

0:11:40.903 --> 0:11:44.923
<v S1>Tensors conversion service could lead to supply chain attacks in

0:11:44.923 --> 0:11:49.363
<v S1>AI models. All right. Technology. Yeah. Nvidia's CEO thinks I

0:11:49.363 --> 0:11:52.663
<v S1>will soon make coding obsolete. Yeah, like we talked about above.

0:11:52.663 --> 0:11:55.003
<v S1>I think that's true. And we just talked about this

0:11:55.003 --> 0:11:59.473
<v S1>creators and executors essay here. Waymo is expanding to more

0:11:59.473 --> 0:12:02.203
<v S1>highways in LA in the Bay area. I can't wait

0:12:02.203 --> 0:12:05.083
<v S1>till they come to my area. I absolutely loved my

0:12:05.083 --> 0:12:08.533
<v S1>experience with Waymo and Apple canceled the car project. I

0:12:08.533 --> 0:12:10.753
<v S1>think everyone knows about this at this point, but they

0:12:10.753 --> 0:12:14.563
<v S1>moved over 2000 employees to AI initiatives, which I'm super

0:12:14.563 --> 0:12:18.013
<v S1>excited about. I really cannot wait until this June when

0:12:18.013 --> 0:12:20.593
<v S1>they do the new announcements. It's going to be. I'm

0:12:20.593 --> 0:12:24.523
<v S1>so hyped for those announcements. Basically, good AI that's close

0:12:24.523 --> 0:12:26.743
<v S1>to you and actually on your phone is so much

0:12:26.743 --> 0:12:29.623
<v S1>better than amazing. I that's stuck in like an IDE

0:12:29.623 --> 0:12:33.913
<v S1>somewhere in 2023, public tech companies out of 2.4 trillion

0:12:33.913 --> 0:12:37.963
<v S1>to their market caps. Musk is suing OpenAI, saying that

0:12:37.963 --> 0:12:41.383
<v S1>they basically got away from their altruistic nature and are just.

0:12:41.493 --> 0:12:43.983
<v S1>Going after profits, something like that. I'm not sure if

0:12:43.983 --> 0:12:47.073
<v S1>that's his exact claim, but it's something like that. Basically,

0:12:47.073 --> 0:12:50.793
<v S1>OpenAI says the New York Times paid someone to hack

0:12:50.793 --> 0:12:55.323
<v S1>its products to produce content matching the newspaper's articles. This

0:12:55.323 --> 0:12:58.803
<v S1>is wild. I haven't fully dove into, like, their exact

0:12:58.803 --> 0:13:03.153
<v S1>claims in the in the lawsuit or whatever they're doing,

0:13:03.153 --> 0:13:07.173
<v S1>but interesting plot point there. DocuSign has been using customer

0:13:07.173 --> 0:13:10.113
<v S1>data to train their AI. People are freaking out about it.

0:13:10.113 --> 0:13:12.543
<v S1>I think this is kind of like the wrong question.

0:13:12.543 --> 0:13:16.413
<v S1>It's not about if someone is using customer data to

0:13:16.413 --> 0:13:18.993
<v S1>train their AI. Of course they are. Everyone should be

0:13:18.993 --> 0:13:21.123
<v S1>doing that. The question is, are you training on like

0:13:21.123 --> 0:13:24.723
<v S1>personal data, on sensitive data, on privacy related data in

0:13:24.723 --> 0:13:27.483
<v S1>a way that customers would object to? Customers are not

0:13:27.483 --> 0:13:31.413
<v S1>going to object to you understanding, like their behavior and stuff.

0:13:31.413 --> 0:13:33.633
<v S1>It's like it's going to come down to like, are

0:13:33.633 --> 0:13:37.713
<v S1>you targeting somebody or are you doing something that's unexpected

0:13:37.713 --> 0:13:43.383
<v S1>and gross that that's the distinction. SpaceX just hit 17mbps

0:13:43.383 --> 0:13:47.223
<v S1>downloading directly to an Android phone. No. Now, this is

0:13:47.223 --> 0:13:49.683
<v S1>like a new cell tower, essentially, but it's a cell

0:13:49.683 --> 0:13:53.343
<v S1>tower that's actually a satellite. 17 megs download to a

0:13:53.343 --> 0:13:57.123
<v S1>stock Android phone. Wendy's is looking to test dynamic surge

0:13:57.123 --> 0:14:01.173
<v S1>pricing for food in 2025. Seems a little early to

0:14:01.173 --> 0:14:06.363
<v S1>announce a strategy that you haven't implemented yet. Like, isn't

0:14:06.363 --> 0:14:10.233
<v S1>that giving competitors too long to adjust? Yeah, right. What

0:14:10.233 --> 0:14:13.863
<v S1>do I know about fast food strategy? Though? February and

0:14:13.863 --> 0:14:18.693
<v S1>January saw a resurgence in tech job cuts. Yes it did.

0:14:18.693 --> 0:14:21.093
<v S1>They are continuing. I didn't think that was going to happen.

0:14:21.183 --> 0:14:26.163
<v S1>And the 50 over 90 by Nvidia is going to

0:14:26.163 --> 0:14:30.423
<v S1>be like 70% faster than the 4090. Makes me sad.

0:14:30.423 --> 0:14:35.913
<v S1>I got two 4090, but whatever, 192 streaming Multiprocessors and

0:14:35.913 --> 0:14:40.563
<v S1>24,000 Cuda cores, that is insane. And a new study

0:14:40.563 --> 0:14:44.103
<v S1>of 13,000 people showed. And this is in the human

0:14:44.103 --> 0:14:48.663
<v S1>section that long Covid. And going into the human section,

0:14:48.663 --> 0:14:53.013
<v S1>a new study of 13,000 people showed with long Covid,

0:14:53.043 --> 0:14:56.343
<v S1>they lost about six IQ points, according to the study.

0:14:56.343 --> 0:15:00.903
<v S1>Political extremism is now one of America's top concerns. Edging

0:15:00.903 --> 0:15:04.833
<v S1>out the economy and immigration organ is reversing its drug

0:15:04.833 --> 0:15:10.203
<v S1>decriminalization policy due to overdose deaths and public concern. I

0:15:10.203 --> 0:15:12.963
<v S1>feel like 2024 is the year of like, the pendulum

0:15:12.963 --> 0:15:16.563
<v S1>swinging back against a whole bunch of hyper liberal policies

0:15:16.563 --> 0:15:19.053
<v S1>and attitudes. I just hope it doesn't swing too far

0:15:19.053 --> 0:15:22.623
<v S1>and then, you know, then just keeps violent swings of

0:15:22.623 --> 0:15:25.533
<v S1>the pendulum. It's just no good for anybody. California is

0:15:25.533 --> 0:15:29.373
<v S1>proposing a bill to ban the homeless encampments near public spaces.

0:15:29.373 --> 0:15:34.023
<v S1>Florida is experiencing a number of outbreaks of already beaten diseases. Basically,

0:15:34.023 --> 0:15:36.003
<v S1>you've got people on the left and the right who

0:15:36.003 --> 0:15:39.753
<v S1>are vaccine skeptics. They're not vaccinating their kids. And we're

0:15:39.753 --> 0:15:43.143
<v S1>not hitting the numbers for herd immunity that are required

0:15:43.143 --> 0:15:47.073
<v S1>for herd immunity. And people are getting diseases like the

0:15:47.073 --> 0:15:50.283
<v S1>measles that that have been, like, already knocked out for

0:15:50.283 --> 0:15:54.213
<v S1>decades or hundreds of years or whatever. And alcohol related

0:15:54.213 --> 0:15:58.353
<v S1>deaths in the US jumped by nearly 30%, almost 500 daily.

0:15:58.353 --> 0:16:02.253
<v S1>And a neurosurgeon is using ultrasound to tackle Alzheimer's and

0:16:02.253 --> 0:16:06.273
<v S1>addiction with some really exciting results. Had a crazy idea

0:16:06.273 --> 0:16:10.563
<v S1>in the idea section here. What if AGI powered robots?

0:16:10.563 --> 0:16:14.553
<v S1>What if we get those before we get autonomous cars?

0:16:14.553 --> 0:16:18.753
<v S1>What if it's actually easier to do AGI that is

0:16:18.753 --> 0:16:22.863
<v S1>capable of like evaluating a situation? Maybe not. Maybe. Maybe

0:16:22.863 --> 0:16:27.363
<v S1>they are the same thing, because the AGI that we

0:16:27.363 --> 0:16:30.903
<v S1>will have built wouldn't be trained on car stuff, and

0:16:30.903 --> 0:16:34.563
<v S1>Tesla stuff would still be the best ones anyway. It's

0:16:34.563 --> 0:16:37.293
<v S1>just a possibility. It random thought. In other words, maybe

0:16:37.293 --> 0:16:40.833
<v S1>it's easier to put a local GPT six level AI

0:16:40.833 --> 0:16:43.083
<v S1>in a car and have it learn a whole bunch

0:16:43.083 --> 0:16:47.583
<v S1>of stuff than to actually try to make the car autonomous.

0:16:47.583 --> 0:16:50.013
<v S1>I don't know, like I said, it's a random thought

0:16:50.013 --> 0:16:53.973
<v S1>and Sunday was 30 years with my love two piece

0:16:53.973 --> 0:16:57.813
<v S1>Combee and Dune two was insanely good. I've already seen

0:16:57.813 --> 0:17:00.243
<v S1>it twice. Going to see it again. All right. Discovery.

0:17:00.243 --> 0:17:03.273
<v S1>My buddy Jason Haddix put out a sick episode of

0:17:03.273 --> 0:17:07.623
<v S1>his newsletter called Executive Offense, and lots of prompt injection

0:17:07.623 --> 0:17:10.413
<v S1>and other resources about hacking. I definitely want to go

0:17:10.413 --> 0:17:14.133
<v S1>check that out and subscribe to his newsletter. Do literally anything.

0:17:14.133 --> 0:17:19.353
<v S1>Great essay here. Caltrans has public data in CCTV, data

0:17:19.353 --> 0:17:24.003
<v S1>in CSV, Json, text, XML formats. Got a deep dive

0:17:24.003 --> 0:17:27.093
<v S1>into a git configuration here. How to get nmap to

0:17:27.093 --> 0:17:30.663
<v S1>detect new services. How did this person decides if your

0:17:30.663 --> 0:17:34.263
<v S1>website is worth a revisit? The internet feels fake now.

0:17:34.263 --> 0:17:39.423
<v S1>Tyler Cohen shares his personal strategy around listening to music.

0:17:39.423 --> 0:17:41.753
<v S1>I didn't agree with it, but I. I actually really

0:17:41.753 --> 0:17:45.923
<v S1>enjoyed reading it. Apple's releasing Neuromancer as a ten episode

0:17:45.923 --> 0:17:49.553
<v S1>series on Apple TV+. I definitely agree with somebody who

0:17:49.553 --> 0:17:51.893
<v S1>said this. I can't remember if it was Scott Galloway,

0:17:51.893 --> 0:17:55.943
<v S1>but Apple TV is basically basically become the new HBO.

0:17:55.943 --> 0:17:58.523
<v S1>HBO got knocked out because they're calling it Macs now

0:17:58.523 --> 0:18:03.413
<v S1>and nobody cares. And so now Apple TV is like fire,

0:18:03.413 --> 0:18:06.413
<v S1>like it's doing so well, and it's basically become the

0:18:06.413 --> 0:18:09.413
<v S1>new HBO. It's like if a show comes on to

0:18:09.413 --> 0:18:13.703
<v S1>Apple TV, it's probably pretty good. Bad therapy argues modern

0:18:13.703 --> 0:18:17.903
<v S1>therapeutic parenting is failing, leaving kids anxious and unprepared for life.

0:18:17.903 --> 0:18:21.263
<v S1>Algorithmic thinking. I've ordered this thing. I've got the physical

0:18:21.263 --> 0:18:24.143
<v S1>copy coming. I read the first one. Absolutely loved it.

0:18:24.143 --> 0:18:26.303
<v S1>I was working at Apple. I actually remember I was

0:18:26.633 --> 0:18:29.693
<v S1>talking to someone about it taking a walk, but absolutely

0:18:29.693 --> 0:18:32.123
<v S1>love this book. And now it's version two or a

0:18:32.123 --> 0:18:34.583
<v S1>second edition and it's got new chapters. Can't wait to

0:18:34.583 --> 0:18:37.913
<v S1>read it. It's on the way, and spending ten minutes

0:18:37.913 --> 0:18:40.733
<v S1>on something is 1% of your day. And I think

0:18:40.733 --> 0:18:44.393
<v S1>that's assuming, like I forget how many hours, 16 hours

0:18:44.393 --> 0:18:47.363
<v S1>a week. They have some assumptions in there and the

0:18:47.363 --> 0:18:51.743
<v S1>recommendation of the week. Ask yourself if you're primarily a nurturer,

0:18:52.133 --> 0:18:55.313
<v S1>a creator or a worker, because it's my belief that

0:18:55.313 --> 0:18:58.493
<v S1>creators are nurturers. And this goes back to the essay, um,

0:18:58.493 --> 0:19:02.063
<v S1>people that help nurtures are basically people that help creators

0:19:02.063 --> 0:19:06.233
<v S1>or nurtures grow up and and become, uh, fruitful. So

0:19:06.233 --> 0:19:11.303
<v S1>it's basically parents or nurturers. Um, artists are creators, entrepreneurs

0:19:11.303 --> 0:19:15.953
<v S1>are creators, therapists are nurturers, etc. and I think that

0:19:15.953 --> 0:19:19.313
<v S1>creators are nurturers are the roles that will be most

0:19:19.313 --> 0:19:22.223
<v S1>resilient to AI, and they're also the most human roles

0:19:22.223 --> 0:19:24.893
<v S1>that they're what we should be doing anyway. We shouldn't

0:19:24.893 --> 0:19:28.973
<v S1>be like moving paperwork around and tilling fields and all

0:19:28.973 --> 0:19:32.033
<v S1>this crap. Try to get this is my recommendation. Try

0:19:32.033 --> 0:19:35.663
<v S1>to get out of the worker mentality. My family is Lutheran, right?

0:19:36.053 --> 0:19:39.203
<v S1>Hard work. My dad always instilled this into me. Like

0:19:39.203 --> 0:19:41.663
<v S1>your reputation is based on the work that you do.

0:19:41.663 --> 0:19:44.063
<v S1>So like I get this and I feel it deeply

0:19:44.063 --> 0:19:49.133
<v S1>and I think hard work is noble and honorable 100%.

0:19:49.133 --> 0:19:53.453
<v S1>But we were handed arbitrary jobs just because of the

0:19:53.453 --> 0:19:56.753
<v S1>the escalation of tech through our lives. Right? When there's

0:19:56.753 --> 0:19:59.213
<v S1>no clean water, you know, a lot of the work

0:19:59.213 --> 0:20:01.193
<v S1>is trying to get clean water when there's no food.

0:20:01.193 --> 0:20:02.873
<v S1>A lot of the work is trying to get food.

0:20:02.873 --> 0:20:05.033
<v S1>Like all those things get phased out as the tech

0:20:05.033 --> 0:20:07.763
<v S1>gets better. And that's what we're about to go through. Again,

0:20:07.763 --> 0:20:10.763
<v S1>an AI is going to be doing most of the

0:20:10.763 --> 0:20:14.063
<v S1>old worker style jobs better, so we have to start

0:20:14.063 --> 0:20:19.733
<v S1>planning our migration to a creator and a nurturer style economy.

0:20:19.733 --> 0:20:21.833
<v S1>And we're all going to be hybrids for for a

0:20:21.833 --> 0:20:24.653
<v S1>long time, but you want to try to migrate to

0:20:24.653 --> 0:20:26.903
<v S1>that as soon as possible. And until the people that

0:20:26.903 --> 0:20:28.673
<v S1>you care about to try to do the same and

0:20:28.673 --> 0:20:31.583
<v S1>the optimism for the week along those lines, the end
