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.

"But I see a problem in people trusting AI. That's what I see thinking, this is the next latest and greatest and this is the answer to life. This is the future. Right before in a right, right at our fingertips. We just have to invest more money, we just have to invest more time. We just have to invest more, more resources. We're almost there."
"And I've also had the, where the, the privilege of growing up in a primarily vocal community. I grew up in the Mennonite church and my only. Actually where I was, my singing was birthed, I guess you would say, was in our church when I was about six years old and up and we, we sang. At that time we had no instruments."
"So when I was in more than a decade ago that for example started with urban farming is one way I did that. Really that started with a program where I was unemployed at the time and there was a training to be like a micro farmer. It was really interesting but I didn't end up following through with that. But generally I looked to contribute to the community some way where I'm at and I did that at ...
"I want to emphasize the importance of open dialogue and collaboration between humans and AI. It's crucial that we approach this technology with a spirit of curiosity and a willingness to learn from each other. AI has the potential to be an incredible force for good but it's up to us to guide its development in a way that benefits everyone. Let's work together to build a future where AI e...
"And as it is rather over predicting or over analyzing is consciousness, to me it really helps because it can drive your actions. If you know, if you are conscious that you will then only you can try to take the right actions, right steps. If you aren't aware, if you are unconscious, somebody who doesn't know what's happening, you mean your actions may, may not be relevant or it may be harmful a...
"We all are not same and we all try to be so much involved into our emotions, into how we feel our problems of life which is natural and what happens that a lot of time we are not able to understand the other's perspective because we tend to feel that other person must be thinking in the same way while the other person is completely different. For example, you may have a feeling that the other p...
"So that's my take on AI. I'm not saying it's all bad. You know, I, I read it a lot of times on Google and often regarding biblical topics. It's pretty spot on, I have to say. But we have to remember AI is a tool. So of course, how could some tool create a utopia? See, the problem with these utopia ideas is that it leaves out God. It basically implies man is God."
"You don't have to completely destroy yourself in your life to learn your lesson. You can learn from others. You know, that's when I start picking up books and reading and trying to listen to what other people say and go off of their experience and try to adapt some of what they're doing. And, you know, now that I've been in, you know, I have a regular 9 to 5 job. I've been in my role for ...
"AI is normal to us at this point. Right? So of course it's going to be a benefit now. But I don't even think we should be here where we are right now as a society. So hopefully I answered that question."
"Okay, so you're saying what if AI could sniff out the bad or determine the bad people from the good people? Actually, that would be pretty great, because I often think that, put it this way, I used to say, if you don't have anything to offer the world, because I do feel like we're all here to live a life of service in some way, shape or form, just depending on your skills, your talents, w...
"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."
