We Shape Our AI, Thereafter It Shapes Us [25:16-30:18]

Um, I don't know why you would get interested in technology if it wasn't for self-improvement. Um, and self can be collective. It can be individual and collective. Um, and, and so you, you, you have to hand it to Ezra Klein. I think he's abundance inside about a year ago after the election loss, um, for the Democrats. And his recognition of, um, AI is self-improvement. I'm both very humanistic. Um, in, in, in, in, in, in the humanist tradition of thinking and then enlightenment tradition of thinking. And not to see it that way would be bizarre. I don't know what other view you could have. Because then you'd have to end our AI with some kind of consciousness as a thing in itself. Right. Maybe coming back to the movie. One of the things that the movie should have done, or could have done to make it more interesting is use a little bit of AI in it to show it, to show us the viewer, because this is made filmed for the viewer, to show us how AI could actually change a movie. It didn't do any of that. And it was very much a traditional top-down film, lots of graphics. In fact, the more graphics there were, the more confusing it became, because all you were watching, whether all these images on the screen, but you weren't actually quite sure what they meant. Well, even worse, Andrew, and we haven't made this point. So let me make this point. I think, I think all three leaders that showed up to be interviewed, Sam Altman, Dario Amadi and Demis Sabis. None of them actually showed any leadership in addressing those questions. In fact, they're so paranoid by the moral panic that they come across as unconvinced that there will be a good future. All three of them. Yeah, I think Demis was a little bit more mature, but I thought that... Yeah, so... What do you think? I mean, Keith, you said that the film was missing people who actually use AI. Do you find that your interactions with whichever AI you're using is it pushing certain versions of yourself? Is it creating more or less Keith tears? Well, my use of AI exposes its weaknesses mostly. Of course, it has massive strengths, but the thing you notice as a user is its weaknesses. So this week I did a few things. I got a board meeting next week, and I have an agent that produces my board report based on some database queries. I published the state of venture at the stateeventsia.com, and I did the monthly venture capital report, which is another agent. That was the week, the whole workflow involves agents all the way through from headline writing, editorial, gathering the pieces, organizing the newsletter into something publishable. The editorial writing is the biggest nightmare because the AI never can get. I'm going to meet me, Rudra Marx, Keith, about the quality of your editorial. No, but I don't publish it, editorial. If you'd see the one I don't publish, you would understand what I mean by its weakness. So what does that mean? Well, for me, it means I have the constant experience of using it a lot, but being in control. I'm overriding it more than I'm just accepting it. You sound like your wife, Keith. You're a traditional male in this marriage. Is that right? You're overriding it. And you're a one-man publishing business. Well, and your post of the week is also about another one-man business, but this is a $1.8 billion company, Medvi, which you have a post about it about how it's a $1.8 billion revenue company with two employees. It sounds like you and I, when you're going to sell us to our tropic for $1.8 billion, Keith. Yes, not going to happen. It's all about audience, Andrew, and sadly our audience. Well, because they're all put off by my obnoxious, when I, or you by you, when you misunderstood Courtney, thought it was a woman rather than a man. And you need to be more careful, Keith, these days. Sometimes some of our viewers might be both simultaneously on different days.
