To Accelerate or not to Accelerate

Most white-collar jobs seem to be on the chopping block with AI.

And many would have never guessed it.

Including the experts….see, every time AI has been brought up during the last decade, it was always in the context of “automating away blue-collar jobs”.

While that may be true… to really replace those jobs, hardware, and software have got to mesh together to form sort of a “superintelligent” system.

Much cleaner to create a chatbot….

Now, with all the stuff going on in AI, many EU nations are starting to propose “guidelines” to decrease the pace of AI acceleration.

We’ve even got Pope Francis from the Vatican releasing an AI ethics handbook. Now, what is this about?

Father Brendan, in an interview, stated that he wants to use the power of the Vatican to bring technology executives together. Interesting.

Now this brings up a long-standing debate- to accelerate or not to accelerate this technology?

Elon, Sam Altman, and now the EU are looking to clamp down on AI.

Specifically, the EU passed an act that would basically force ChatGPT to disclose all AI-generated content. This would be… a pretty big violation of privacy.

Have you seen what people type in ChatGPT? Nevermind…

Anyways, the AI regulation vs the Accelerationists is shaping up to be quite the battle.

Here is a snippet from Marc Andreessen (prolific investor and accelerationist)’s point of view:

Listen, though these systems have the potential to become superintelligent beings…for now, they greatly improve productivity in all aspects of life.

I mean, how much do you google now compared to 8 months ago?

And speaking of battles….Elon vs Zuck might take place in the Coliseum

If this happens…we’re gonna be streaming live from Twitch.

Non-Mid Midjourney Prompts

Actor- that’s the name of the game when using ChatGPT.

For example, when you’ve got a math question, preface it with “Act like a math professor…”, and you’ll get better outcomes from the model.

Similarly, in Midjourney, if you’ve got a particular artist you vibe with, include it in your prompt.

Example:

/imagine elephant in the amazon rainforest painting Frida Kahlo style

Alright, big things coming…go and crush the week ahead.
