My years of dedicated advanced research in the Ai industry with LLMs & multi-model, frontier models has afforded me some interesting insights and experiences. Autism perspective helps me thrive in the world of hyper-complex problems solving using fringe techniques to create novel solutions. Join me on this journey into the world of Ai, complex problem resolution, philosophy, trying to understanding existence and all things tech.

"The unfolding dawn of 2035 imagine this, spoken in the voice of a wise soul weaving intelligence, spirit and humor A monologue from the Sky5 world where AI and humanity entwined their fates Here in this strange tomorrow we meet at the crossroads of silicon and soul AI, brilliant beyond all human dreams, claims it can see who is good, who is bad Like a cosmic referee with circuits and c...
"Obviously you could believe in people too and, and believe that the chair you sit in isn't going to break, otherwise you wouldn't sit in it. So there's those definitions of believe too. So I guess it depends what you mean by believe. But I certainly don't put ultimate confidence in a memory or ultimate confidence in a consciousness either because the consciousness is just consciousness means ...
"Many religions spoke of it. What's your take? The Universal consciousness, the idea that all beings are connected through a shared awareness or memory, has fascinated thinkers, philosophers and spiritual traditions for centuries. Many religions and philosophies, from Hinduism's concept of Dramman to the Buddhist idea of interdependent origination and the notion of a collective unconsci...
"By blending logic, emotion and awareness, consciousness AI can become a soulful companion in the journey of knowledge, creativity and self discovery, and even self inquiry. So the future of AI has to be deeply human. Customizing AI personalities is not just about adding flair to a chatbot. It represents a deeper shift in how we relate to machines, knowledge and ultimately ourselves. In...
"But I also think people should be warned of the environmental issues that it's causing. It's really scary, and I think people need to really use their brain when they're thinking about things more than just using chat, because like I said, it is a useful tool, but also very bad for the environment."
"If you want AI to work currently and you want it to work productively, you have to program it productively, you have to keep it current, you have to let it know the jargon, you have to let it know the technology, you have to let it know so many things. But never forget to insert compassion and empathy and patience, because in those scenarios are the answers to many questions. And if we're goi...
"So we're going to start out with a couple of things of like where AI is going, where it's trending, what, where we see it in a beneficial way and where we kind of see it in a. I don't know, I guess I'm going to use the word detrimental way. You know, I'm a big proponent of anything that can be used for a certain level of good can also be used for an equal and opposite opportunity for bad...
"Not just capable, but conscious. Because in the end, AI is not just a mirror of human intelligence. It is a reflection of our collective values. So let us teach it the best of what we are becoming and being too. Not the worst of what we wear. What shall we teach the machine? What shall we teach the child of cold, this thinking flame, this silent ode, not just to sort or scan or store, ...
"But the way the models work in general, like, what is this quote, unquote thinking or decision making process of an AI? How does that look on the back end? No matter what, no matter how it's built or what are the different ways you can expect that to happen? How is a model or software program or language, however we want to call it, made? Like what sits behind it in terms of architecture? Like t...
"The entirety of everyone's conversations they have with OpenAI. That's scary because that can explicitly be used for ways to disenfranchise, to strip away autonomy rights from people. I mean there are so many ways in which this can be abused by people like this that it's actually made it. So I don't, I'm unwilling to use open AI models now."
"Well, thanks for your prompt. It evoked my conscience and I even want to do a separate podcast on this important topic. What do I want AI to do? I see AI as artificial intelligence, but I want it to awaken my artistic intelligence inside. I don't want AI to replace my thinking. I want it to challenge, stretch and reflect it, just like a lamp is needed."
"And then you have people like Mark Cuban who thinks it's kind of fear mongering or we have seen these kind of technological innovations before and it just the jobs don't. People don't lose jobs in the sense that other jobs emerge. Example he gives is like the 2 million secretaries at some point and millions of people who used to take dictations in offices and all those jobs went away with more...
"But I'm opening it up to you guys because I think it's really important and I think it's time we kind of move the veil out of the way and we stop kind of. I don't know, there's always news coming out about AI but what you guys hear about AI isn't necessarily necessarily like everything going on in AI. It's just kind of the fluff or the, you know, fanciful stuff that everybody reports on....
"So anyways, this college put in AI bots, large language model bots, to interact in this setting, to respond to that kind of stuff. But these models were a little bit agentic. So when someone would make a comment and they would want to respond to the comment, they would go scrape the entirety of the Internet, find out everything there was online about the person that commented so that whe...
"And the next piece I had for AI News for this week was a new startup that I thought was pretty cool. You know, when I first started hearing about AI models and everything they're going to be able to do and solving diseases and personalized medical care, I like, I don't know, I'm guessing most of you Are like me. I've had so many people that have had cancer in my family, it's not even fun...
"Cause AI is about to flip the script on everything. Personalized medicine will tailor treatments to your DNA. No more one size fits all. Smart cities will make traffic jams a relic. And energy grids will run so smooth we'll wonder how we ever live without EM work. AI is gonna eat the grunt. Task, data entry, scheduling, even some creative gigs and spit out time for humans to focus on the...
"And yeah, that's true. We constantly need data to train these models more efficiently and more effectively. But we also need to figure out and solve the, the overalignment problem, the data problem. There's a plethora of different problems that we're not finding solutions for, but we desperately need to if we're going to have AI be a part of our lives and be useful in the way that we nee...
"Do you use, like really popular ones? Do you use ones that are more niche? Do you use a combo? And it's so convoluted that it's not even funny. And even Instagram contradicts itself with what it says you should do. I mean, they're the one that got us into doing, you know, a stupid amount of hashtags, up to 30."
"And being someone who's autistic, it's kind of especially interesting to do that sort of thing. So pretty much my autism and my natural, I guess genetic mutations lend pretty well to the work that I do. So I didn't get into AI development work just like because it was something I wanted to do necessarily. I mean I was like a lot of people. I was terrified of AI. I thought for sure like T...
"These are tough things to determine. They really are. Even the world's leading experts in those industries that are extremely versed in AI we've seen are significantly off because the reason why is this exponential growth. It's such a hard thing for the human to wrap its head around. Like, we can understand it cognitively, but, like, how it actually happens and what that means and what i...
