    Of course they themselves don't know the dangers of AI. And even if they knew they would still rush to monetize it. They are there to make money and be famous, not to save mankind.

    Although not everyone agrees about the risks, safety is a huge issue in the AI community. It is talked about constantly. People also constantly complain about how much companies censor their models for safety (and mainstream appeal). It feels like you are assuming every billionaire or adjacent is evil now. What makes you so confident? 

     


  2. There is a lot of impractical advice on creativity out there. Here is a simple process I find effective:
    1) Collect a diverse set of ideas (think 'requisite variety').
    2) Choose a main idea, either your favorite or a random one.
    3) Select another idea and combine it with your main idea.


    That's it! Repeat this process multiple times, avoiding harsh judgment before putting ideas into practice. Intuition can be helpful here, but beware of being overly judgmental.


    The finer details of this process vary depending on your creative medium. Whether you have the mental energy to be creative is a whole other thing. 

    If you find yourself feeling down after a meal or stressed and overwhelmed, taking a short nap can often be helpful. Assuming it aligns with your schedule, try setting a 30-minute timer and simply lay down. Remember, you don't have to fall asleep for this to work. 
     


  3. I thought this would be a good share. I believe this is material that Leo has never covered and would be greatly beneficial to people.

    In the video Dr. K explains how to do something that your mind has you resisting by essentially pausing and staying paused until your mind lets you do what you need to do. I personally have coined it the "Hostage Technique" since you are sort of taking your mind hostage.

     

    edit: To be clear I know that Leo has made videos about resistance. This is simply another technique.
