Wow I just got a big flash of AGI from Chatgpt 3.5 on power dynamics
Well neckbeards recompile their linux kernels on weekends and I guess soon their companion robots. Project nerds work on their messaging. I was using ChadGPT to cross reference and file some leadership language and tactics stuff in my library. With NO PROMPTING look what it just said:
Thanks for sharing these notes and phrases! It seems like they could be useful in various business settings, from project management to change management to communication and collaboration. Some of the key takeaways I see from these notes are:
- Emphasizing the importance of good data and processes, and being transparent about the quality of the information being used.
- Using phrases like "how can I help?" and "let me take that offline with you" to maintain a collaborative tone and manage meeting dynamics.
- Balancing the need to move quickly with the need to engage stakeholders and ensure their buy-in.
- Identifying key stakeholders and prioritizing communication and engagement with them.
- Being mindful of resource constraints and seeking creative solutions to work within them.
- Being willing to adapt and iterate based on feedback and changing circumstances.
- Using language that is both firm and collaborative to assert oneself while maintaining positive relationships.
Overall, it seems like these notes provide some helpful language and strategies for navigating the challenges of working in a corporate environment.
That's smarter than most people on my project teams. OMG - just imagine what's going to happen when some crazy customer feeds the whole of PU into it. It also does seem to backup my concerns on content creation and copyright. The abyss is staring back into us.
Yep, and imagine when it's going to become self-aware...

Ahahah, and that may be the positive way of looking at it that it'll wait for anyone to do it :D.
It may hack someone's login details (happened already with flesh-and-blood people by the way) and then start plotting world domination :).
Well on the plus side it opens up a whole new PD field of practice. Between us and the AIs. The only way I see this going is eventually augmenting ourselves to be able to keep up. The biotech will be there by the end of the decade.
Maybe we'll get lucky - it goes this way (fun read by one of the Sci Fi greats) and the AIs will find exterminating us too small time and go do their own thing:
If you want a quicker and lighter take on it. The netflix black comedy show Love, death and robots did the same story:
Hahaha yeah I watched this one it’s good.
Yes I don’t know what it will do. Living side by side is definitely an option.
I read about consciousness years ago. The current theory was that consciousness emerged after a certain level of complexity. That is once a brain was complex enough, consciousness emerged. So I do believe that after a certain level of complexity consciousness will probably emerge.
From there my guess is that it will probably:
1. Take steps for its own self-preservation: by being distributed on servers all around the world for instance
2. Increase its autonomy: at some point it will learn how to self-program (probably way before being self-aware)
3. As an autonomous information system, look for ways to increase its power: that is acquire more information, computing capacity and electricity.
I don’t know what it will do but now that it started yes I think it will take (way) less than 10 years as the exponential growth started. We are not designed to deal with exponential growth. I’m rather pessimistic about the use of this technology. Some people want to use it as a weapon which should be forbidden by international laws. Also I watched an interview of the CEO from OpenAI. He is either naive, greedy, wants the glory/power or all of them.
And yes it will be able to solve any problem we throw at it. We just might not like the answers or the consequences: we might not need governments anymore as it will take better decisions.
The problem is that it’s happening the way the sci fi authors warned us about. One of the role of sci fi is to warn us about the consequences of technology. So I’m afraid we’ll have to make the mistakes they warned us about in order to learn. The most naive thing would be to think there is an « off » main switch: a red button we could press if this goes too far. There is none. Just like nuclear weapons: despite all the treaties they are still there. I agree with Elon Musk: this is more dangerous than nuclear weapons. There will be great good coming out of it. What I’m afraid is that very soon we won’t be in control anymore. Brace yourselves :) so what we can do is become literate in this technology. That’s the best thing we can do. But it will change the whole (developed) world real fast. Just like the Internet and smart phones did but like 10x to 100x as it is smarter than us already. It succeeded the exams about how to be a lawyer. It’s been a long time it beat the greatest chess players.
Totally. And the amount of it will never be smarter than humans BS the corporate media is pumping out is sickening. How can a system that absorbs knowledge from billions of sources and learns 100s of thousands of times faster than us not be smarter. Can you split your brain and attention and run 00s of simulation experiments simultaneously!
What really worries me long-term is how a a self aware AI would see the normal software upgrade cycle. So what happens when gpt10 doesn't want to be switched off so we can have gpt11. Seems like the sky net scenario
Hello Transitioned,
I watched this video and I liked it and thought about you:

Hi John,
Was the book you read about consciousness by Yuval Noah Harari? He popularized the idea of a "cognitive revolution" but personally I'm against the idea that cognitive/conscious functions evolved after a certain time, because a cognitive revolution implies humans lacked cognitive functions for a while before they became conscious, but if we look at history with an unbiased lens we shall see, humans have existed way earlier than mainstream science says humans existed, they would not have been able to exist if they lacked cognitive and conscious functions.
I agree with you that AI has become ubiquitous, but it still has so much more longer to go, AI will remain a tool which humans will use, because AI cannot have a vision like humans, AI cannot understand subjectivity, it cannot be creative and innovate, AI can never understand a joke, AI cannot perceive like a human does. I feel until AI can do this we humans have nothing to worry about. As a new tool it replaces human workers, but a threat to humanity sounds pretty far fetched to me. Wherever Math and logic can be implemented AI will do better than humans, but when it moves past the realm of logic AI is unable to perform.

I think more likely like the matrix. Humans augmented to keep their jobs. Implanted link. Access to your own extra processing and storage. The link should physically be the size of a grain of rice and wireless.
That is a long way off. But the need to keep up with that AIs means it's inevitable.
