Thank you. we're saying that we're interested in joining today's space so in the meantime also trying to
get one of my co-hosts to join me here hopefully when he does it'll be easier for me to bounce
around and send this event back to them to say hey we're finally live but hopefully everyone's doing well um yeah it is thursday for me but i don't know where
everybody else is around the world hopefully it's a wonderful wonderful friday or thursday
wherever you're at oh man okay i there a couple of things I wanted to cover, but I'm going to give
a few moments for my co-host to join me, if he can join me. If not, I'm just going to keep it short. And apologies again for being super late.
And while I'm here, oh my gosh, what am I doing?
Clicking too many buttons here.
I'm going to go real quick, check out the latest tweets by Ontology.
Make sure I didn't miss anything.
I'm going to send a GM to all the Harbingers who are showing up. I'm going to go to the
ontology stat. We are live. Here we go. Can I pin? Yeah, I can pin. There we go. I wonder how this will work.
I've never pinned anything in the Ontology chat.
I don't know if that worked.
If you're in the space, go into the Telegram channel
and let me know if that worked.
That's the ontology English Telegram channel or t.me forward slash ontology network.
I pinned something.
Let me know.
Give me a comment.
And we can get started.
Ah, yes.
Here goes our infamous collaborator, Mr. Polaris.
How you doing, Polaris?
Polaris, while Polaris connects, I'm going to check what this is.
to check what this is.
By the way, we had a lot of comments on the post for this space.
So I hope that they're able to make it.
Also, I'm giggling a little bit here
because I'm looking at an animation that San posted and then
Ontology retweeted
and I think Sasan might have only
had access to an image
of the Antonat
who has his
little legs cut short
so it's
bouncing around the screen
but it
does it's missing two legs it's kind of sad
hilarious can you hear us now
gm gm yeah i can awesome sorry that i'm late buddy uh apologize for that it's cool it's cool so what was the previous uh spaces about ai and its role uh
yeah just generally like ai and marketing was supposed to be the space but it kind of just
i guess uh it was still very early new space so they didn't really have like a lot of
folks there um but anyways it ended up being about like content marketing and AI,
which obviously I have a lot to say
because I do most of my pre-production
and newsletter writing with AI now.
It's like about 80% of it is AI now.
Wow, that's amazing.
And that's the right way of using AI, to be quite honest.
Yeah.
And I mean, people who are not using it,
they should definitely start looking into that.
We've been talking about it for years now.
about it for years now and it's funny how AI has kind of like taken over and like it's moving
towards robotics now like you know partial due to like you know
uh advancements in robotics and ai i think it's a convergence of like two different
uh things and um it's fascinating that now you can create animations um
It's fascinating that now you can create animations, not only animations, but like themed animations based around so many different styles.
Like, for example, about four or five days ago, GPT released that Gilby.
I'm not sure how you pronounce it but Studio Gilby
that was being used
then
we've got
what was it
Play-Doh
versions
and then we've got
it's fascinating how
how AI is taking over different styles and replicating them in different contexts.
And there's been a huge debate about it, actually.
Like, you know, that is this the right way of using AI?
using AI, especially the artists have been up at arms towards this concept.
And I think we had that same thing when AI came into existence.
And for three months, we had all the writers and actors like in Hollywood complaining and like coming up and saying that like, you know, it's killing, killing all the creatives now because AI is going to be taking over their jobs.
It kind of like reminds me of this song, which I used to enjoy when I was a kid.
Radio killed the video, killed the radio star.
You know, I think this will keep happening and a point will come that most of our jobs are going to get replaced.
I thought the song you were going to say was rain, rain, go away.
Oh, God.
No, but I mean, that wouldn't really be relevant, would it?
Yeah, kind of, right?
Because it's basically people want AI to go away, but it's not going anywhere.
Right?
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day or something like that.
Oh, yes.
It's like, no, it's here and it's here to stay.
Maybe that's how it goes.
AI, go away.
Come back another day.
And then AI goes, no, no, I will not.
I am going to be here to stay.
There you go.
AI can't do that.
That's me.
AI has been so deeply integrated into our lives now
in terms of legal documents,
in terms of understanding how things are history to think
like i was telling my niece about grok 3 and she was using gpt and i was like why don't you use
grok 3 for your physics like you know learning physics and stuff and she was like i haven't used
it and then once she did she realized like the more powerful AI is getting, it's getting easier for AI to actually teach.
Claude just released another version of a teacher AI concept just today.
So it's so deeply integrated into our systems now that I don't think that we can get rid of it like the way and of course when the horse and carriage uh when the roads were made out of
for horse and carriage and ford kind of like came in and they said that look we're going to be
introducing a vehicle which is going to revolutionize the way we travel uh everyone complained
but we gotta have a bit of a pragmatic approach towards this these these technological evolutions
pragmatic approach towards this, these, these technological evolutions and, like, learn from it
and move forward. Like, you know, I can see like a basic human wage, like, you know, eventually
happening across the globe where we're using AI to optimize the way we do things and then eventually we realize that we've got all this free time to like work on
the human aspect of us which we probably lost
through the three industrial
revolutions which we experienced
you know so
industrial revolutions have kind of like taken the humanity element out of us
and made us more robotic as a result we are seeing so many crises in terms of like mental
health issues people feeling like robots not like you know people complaining about not being able
to like live their full human potential because
how can you like you know we've all lived that life when you wake up in the morning you go to
work you're literally doing another business a favor by constantly working working working
doing something so menial but yet like you know so important that you gotta earn money and and
then finishing work and then being so tired that you haven't even got time to spend with your kids and then you go to sleep and then you gotta wake up again then you gotta do that for
six days then you got one day off where you're just about gonna catch up on your sleep and then
it starts all over again I mean if you look at the the the whole thing from a bird's eye view
that has pretty much taken us away from like enjoying like how a flower smells like in spring
or the breeze hitting you you wouldn't care like if you're like working like for 365 days non-stop
you don't care about the breeze hitting your face the sensitivity has been desensitized
and no like you know no disrespect to like people who are working like you know i've been a part of
all of this and i think it's very important and it's got its own ethical merits towards it but
i think humans are designed for more more than that like you know we're designed to like explore
the universe we are designed to explain to to to immerse ourselves with the vastness of this universe and what it has to bring us.
And by being constantly robotic, it's just created illnesses which we probably never had before, especially the mental health issues, but physical aspects as well.
you know they talk about the lymphatic system the blood system the the breathing system and
like how important it is to move the body in all different directions to like get the lymph flowing
to get the blood flowing to get your cheese flowing these things are not like these things
are getting compromised as a result we're hitting like a stagnant stagnant uh aspect where we're not
growing as a human race also Also design efficiency, freight logistics,
like, you know, making clerical errors which are eventually costing doctors, surgeons,
like, you know, leaving their tools inside humans because they made a human mistake.
All of these things can be rectified by this technology so that we can focus on
growth, innovation, moving forward towards a direction where there is peace and prosperity for the human race.
I think AI is critical towards all of this.
But of course, you know, it needs to be done in the correct manner.
And we all need to understand that.
Back to what we were talking about, content creation and AI. Like it's getting really fun now.
Like, you know, I'm part of this new project
and over there we were just discussing
how we can use certain concepts and create a video.
And I was just talking just generally like, you know,
that why don't we do this and like get these concepts in.
And someone made a video from just me like stating that and
that video was pretty cool and I was like wow like amazing how quickly we can get those concepts
into visuals now and those visuals are like so powerful that they can like get the message across
and any person can do this so it's taken the human creativity to the next level how we use that now
like you know is going to be an interesting take and we're going to see van goff's for the for for
ai we're going to see like you know leonardo's and michelangelo's for ai soon you know who'd be
able to optimize this technology to express themselves in the most
creative manner. And I think this is extremely important for community building, like, you know,
like getting the community to bond with each other, like using, for example, you mentioned Sassan and
like how he used the on-to-nots and it was going up and down and he found it funny i mean you know
it's giving us one more point to connect with our community members and i think like projects should
definitely use this uh to their advantage use ai uh and ai creation tools and actually i've been
talking with jeff about this as well,
and we're probably going to come up with some sort of an amazing way
to engage and immerse our community members going forward.
Yeah, I think two things.
You mentioned a little bit ago how you were like letting your i think it was your niece
uh know that she could do some work or some of her physics works with chat gbt i was actually
reading this article that came through my feed about education cheating and, and AI.
And I mean, obviously it went the way you think it'd go,
which is like, obviously professors don't want you using AI or teachers
because they consider that cheating.
But the conversation actually evolved
into something different and something quite enjoyable,
which was our education systems are so archaic that they aren't necessarily
teaching people how to do anything of value. They're just following a prescription for,
you know, testing. And it really hasn't changed for many, many decades.
Really the, you know, where it was originally built to like, put people into an industrial job,
and then just train them, and then it would just do that job for like years, right?
It's almost like be a cog in a machine, where you have no personality, nothing. But,
you know, not everywhere, but most of the world has evolved in terms of like what work means.
And we're no longer, for the most part, an industrial society, like where we are,
like during the Industrial Revolution, right, where you needed these types of systems
for people to learn and fit in and just do a job. And that was it. There was no questions asked.
and fit in and just do a job. And that was it. There was no questions asked. There's a lot more
humanity involved in a lot of our works, like creative endeavors, things that where we need to
think and apply kind of our unique perspective and thinking and research to solving problems.
And, you know, schools really aren't built to facilitate that type of education at least not
public schools and so what was recommended in that was that your your student would be encouraged to
use ai because you can't stop it it's only getting better at responding where it doesn't sound like an AI.
So they've been encouraged to write or to do their homework with AI,
with the support of it, and then come to school
and find a different way to approach that or solve it in a different way.
So in other words, then in class, use your own creativity, your humanity to try to improve upon what AI was able to do. I use, I remember last year, like around March or April, I started using ChatGPT to take my
podcast transcripts and publish a newsletter. And it was horrible. It was crap. I'd say 15%
of it was usable, maybe 30%. But I mean, mostly it was unusable. And I was like, oh man, this is bad.
usable. And I was like, oh man, this is bad. But the longer I trained it, the more content that I
fed it, the more of my opinion that I shared with it over time, it improved. And I also started to
like build out my own agent where it was listening for trending topics. In other words, it was informing itself on things that I would otherwise
do my own research on. And then it was using that research and my voice and my perspective
to write my newsletters. And I continued to do that for, I mean, we're in April Nassau, a year.
continue to do that for, I mean, we're in April Nassau, a year.
And now the newsletters that it spits out, I mean, it's like 90% done.
I have to do a little cleaning up here and there for the most part though,
it's pretty well polished.
And I'm like, oh my God, that was actually really good.
Maybe don't share that perspective because that doesn't necessarily
resonate with my audience.
So I would see in a couple of prompts
to change the view or the angle at solving a problem.
But aside from that,
I think that one thing that AI can do well
is do the repetitive and monotonous work.
Whereas as people, as humans,
the thing we do better is apply our creativity, our
perspective, our desires, right? Our view of the world. That's what makes it unique
is that experience, which AI doesn't have. It has information, but it doesn't have personal
experience. It's not AGI yet, right? And that's kind of the argument I was making in
the previous space. We need to understand the difference between AI and AGI. It's not AGI yet, right? And that's kind of the argument I was making in the previous
space. We need to understand the difference between AI and AGI. We're not yet anywhere
close that I know of to AGI. So what we can do with AI is leverage it as a tool to do the things
that are monotonous, repetitive, don't really require any creativity. And then as people influence that work through our own personal experience and creativity.
I don't know if you have any thoughts about that.
By the way, GM, everybody who's popping in first, Barnabas, I don't care, Deelan, Billy,
and SP Ferry.
Good to see you all here.
Yeah, I totally resonate with that bro i mean
i mean we're social animals but like let's look at it from an animal's perspective just basic animal
like uh um let's say a bird right wakes up in the morning does the same thing every day and comes home and goes to sleep
but really is it really a same is it really the same thing you know it's going to hunt it's going
to look for like worms but it's not going to find a worm in the same spot it'll have to like
literally use the front part of its brain to search and figure different things out,
try to calibrate with certain things, and then eventually it'll do the same thing,
which is feed itself, but in a dynamic manner.
I think that's a very animal aspect of us.
Like all of us do that.
And I think when you take that aspect away from us,
it takes that human or that biological aspect away, you know?
So like if you go and then just keep like pressing one button like Homer Simpson
every day and then come home,
your prefrontal cortex is going to literally get damaged.
And eventually you won't be able to survive in the great unknown
or be able to thrive the way we are designed as a species.
And I'm not really talking about us as humans.
Like any species which is of biological
nature will eventually get affected by it so i think that even though the industrial revolution
was very important in terms of what we have created in this world but after like looking
at the pyramids and like finding a 75 meterre-down chambers and then a 75-kilometre
like—I mean, and then looking at the ancient monuments which have been built.
I don't think that the Industrial Revolution has contributed huge amounts towards humanity, because we haven't really been able to recreate what our ancestors done.
So, definitely need to take the monotonous aspect of our lives away and add some human aspects in our lives but the way this world has been created
it's becoming extremely difficult as you mentioned the schools are teaching you to eventually
be part of that system which is going to eventually lead towards that point where you're just sitting and pressing a button and uh we are we are much more than that like you know we're much more than we are dynamic
beings and we are capable of doing so much more so if ai can take over all this monotony and we are given the chance to be ourselves, I can see
that glimpse of what our ancestors created, I can see that happening again, like a new
wave of creativity, new wave of architecture, new wave of design efficiency which we've
never experienced before
i'm pretty like excited for the future for our next generation because the way i've experienced
things and the way i've kind of like evolved as a human it's been extremely painful for me to like
you know be be a part of monotony, you know.
Even when I was teaching martial arts in the gym, I used to hire a gym and I would teach martial arts in there.
And most of my students, I would explain to them that just sitting in front of like a treadmill
and just walking while your front part of the brain is switched off is literally hitting 10% of your total being, you know.
So if you really want to like have an immersive workout, you need to make sure that every single part of you is being used correctly.
And that part of you is what's going to be sharpened.
And eventually it's going to lead towards being a more productive human being.
So, I mean, the same context can be used in so many different scenarios.
And I've seen amazing results in terms of productivity.
Like, you know, I didn't really teach them how to fight,
but I taught them how to unlock their human.
And that eventually led towards, like towards learning how to protect themselves,
but also being more productive as humans
because you're using all parts of your brain.
You're using all factions of your body.
So how it relates to what we're saying
is because businesses are also dynamic.
You know, businesses shouldn't be
a reflection of the industrial revolution because times have changed.
The way we cater about emotions, the way we cater about like the well-being of our employees and the way we run governments and all of these things eventually like interlink towards towards how are we treating our populace?
And how is the populace treating itself?
And what system is there for the populace to actually interact with?
And how do you make it more refined so that they can be more productive as a race?
I think these are very serious questions which we need to answer, which we need to, like, answer, acknowledge.
And AI is a huge factor in all of these.
Yeah.
There's one thing you said that I just wanted to get clarity because I don't think I agree.
I think you were talking about, like like the industrial revolution having provided no value i think we're at least in you know kind
of first world countries where where we are because of the industrial revolution like it
facilitated a lot of i mean if you look at like some of the ancient monuments which have been
made we haven't even been able to like you know replicate one of them bro so like it makes
me think like longer like we can't we can't you know just they were more aligned with the planets
they were they were more aligned with like you know the universe they were more aligned with
the earth they were like more i know there was like a lot of like killings and like a lot of
wars and all of that but i think like after looking looking, like I went to Barcelona and I seen that cathedral,
La Sagrada, La Familia.
And oh my God, I was amazed.
It's gorgeous, but I mean,
how long did it take to build too?
I mean, 300 years.
That's part of the intention though, the design.
It still hasn't been finished, by the way.
No, I know.
But I mean, to be fair, that's a different conversation.
I think that there was an intention to build slowly all of these little intricacies because there is beauty in that art, right?
But in terms of like, the point I'll make in terms of like the value of the industrial evolution, we are where we are.
I think we've made a lot of progress, but we've also taken many steps back, right?
In terms of our wellness, holistic
health, understanding of humanity, like all these different things. And I think, again, the point I
was making is with AI, you have the ability to continue to make progress, but also being aware
of the things that, you know, we can contribute to society beyond just things that are
technological or revolutionary in terms of like inventions and, or even actually probably
even making more inventions because we have more time to think and do research and, you
know, work slowly versus having to consistently fight to keep up with the pace of everything else
because we're just busy for the sake of being busy to survive.
So, yeah, I'm not trying to down talk the valid things.
I'm trying to completely piss the third industrial revolution off.
There has been a lot the what's his name third industrial revolution off there have been
like there has been like a lot of what's his name but like for example the diseases like cancers and
all of that like i was having a discussion with one of the top breast cancer um surgeons the other
day who also happens to be my student and he was like look cancers were there in the time of like
the the greeks as well you know like this cancer word actually comes from
that greek uh terminology and all of that and um i mean the diseases were there but we haven't been
able to like spot them and we we didn't know how to like deal with them but now with the technology
we can um yeah but i'm like i'm just very neutral about this subject. Let's put it like that. Like, you know, I agree and I don't agree because I can see like a lot of issues which I have to deal with on a day to day basis with the people.
make me agitated or make me think that,
oh, if only like we could like, you know,
start all over again and like, you know,
get to like move more and maybe like appreciate food more
if we was to grow it ourselves and stuff like that.
So I think my perspective is more towards
how I feel towards this,
but I totally get it.
Like, you know know things have moved fast
like we've learned
how to like move faster
we've managed to use
fossil fuel
to progress so fast
but then we end up
like you know
having issues
in terms of global warming
because of that
so I'm like
you know
how do we find
that eudaimonia?
Yeah well yeah I mean I think you know, how do we find that eudaimonia? Yeah.
Well, yeah, I mean, I think to some degree,
and I'm no expert here, obviously,
but things like cancer have only accelerated
because of some of the advances too,
because the way that we treat food, right,
is not no longer something that is at a natural rate it's very unnatural in terms of like
how quickly we produce food and I think this accelerates some of these diseases so you know
it'd be interesting to see how we can extend our lives and kind of eliminate diseases like
these are things to me I think would be valuable things to spend
more time kind of researching and exploring, right? To improve our quality of life, if you will.
So yeah, absolutely. But I mean, again, this was the conversation, right? It's like AI is a tool,
AI, at least it's not AGI. So AI is not
sentient. It cannot make these decisions. It cannot do things for us, but it can certainly improve
quality of life based on, you know, the input that we give it. And, you know, then we just are
able to spend more time improving the world through our humanity. Wow, it's almost two o'clock.
And I apologize that I started this late, everybody.
But I also want to keep it on time.
So I'm going to cut it off here.
Thank you, everybody, for joining.
This has definitely been a very different conversation than usual
because I feel, again, we started late,
then we just went into AI.
But thank you, Pol polaris for jumping on if
anybody has any questions uh or wants to keep the conversation going definitely go to the
ontology telegram t.me forward slash ontology network let's keep the conversation going
uh until next time though sign us up polaris
yeah amazing conversation and it's always good talking with you umti i think um it's a good
it's a good article like you know like has the third has the industrial revolution
helped humanity like and i if i was to write that article that would be an interesting we could like
incorporate all these conversations which we have had hopefully i'll find fine time to do that but
in the meanwhile thanks everyone for joining us apologies for starting the spaces late
and make sure to join us next week keep the conversation flowing as Humpty said look after
your mind look after your body drink lots of water touch grass and i'll see you guys
next week adios
