00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:20.500
the inside out. Welcome back to the Observatory Podcast. Today,
5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.859
Rae and I are going to sit down and have
6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.289
a little conversation. It's kind of short and sweet, but
7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.429
I think you'll enjoy this. We're going to delve into
8
00:00:28.449 --> 00:00:35.219
our most recent experience with using AI. and what we
9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.299
think about AI, how we feel about AI, and what
10
00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:44.039
the potential dangers possibly could be, and also, more importantly,
11
00:00:45.509 --> 00:00:48.490
how it could benefit not only us as individuals, but
12
00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:52.049
humanity in general. So please join us for this next
13
00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:55.729
30 minutes or so to sit back, relax, and enjoy
14
00:00:55.750 --> 00:01:01.039
this podcast on The Observatory. Thanks for being here. Welcome
15
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:04.489
back to The Observatory Podcast. Good morning, Ray.
16
00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:08.609
Good morning. It's a nice windy morning today.
17
00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:11.930
Windy summer morning. It gets that way in the summer
18
00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:13.450
when it's really hot like it is right now.
19
00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:16.739
And we just got back from San Diego, which was
20
00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:20.099
a nice vacay. We were able to get away and
21
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:26.170
enjoy much cooler temperatures. It was like low 80s.
22
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.540
Yeah, I mean 75, 80. It was beautiful. A little breeze.
23
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.040
You get that air conditioning off the ocean, right?
24
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.120
Which I much prefer.
25
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.030
It's nice to be down there and get away. We
26
00:01:40.049 --> 00:01:42.010
got to see your family and spend some time with
27
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.049
your family and my family. We both have nieces and
28
00:01:45.069 --> 00:01:47.849
nephews living in that area. And it was great to
29
00:01:47.909 --> 00:01:48.689
spend time with them.
30
00:01:48.849 --> 00:01:52.390
Yeah, it was wonderful. It was just a great getaway.
31
00:01:53.540 --> 00:02:00.400
Restoring just a lot of good vibes and restoring that
32
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.599
kind of renewed energy around just fresh air and wonder
33
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:11.400
and amazement. I had a little four-year-old great-nephew having a birthday,
34
00:02:12.460 --> 00:02:15.909
and it was just a delight to watch him just
35
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.069
full of all sorts of wonder and imagination and curiosity
36
00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.129
and no fear.
37
00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:22.629
Four years old.

00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:23.990
Four years old, yes.
39
00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:28.180
It really was. I mean, we've talked a lot about
40
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:31.479
when we're going through life to kind of try and
41
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.180
go back to the place where you so curious because
42
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.659
when we get older, like you and I and all humanity,
43
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.520
I think when we get older, we move away from
44
00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:46.659
that curiosity. We learn things and sometimes we think we
45
00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:50.580
know things. And getting to the space of knowing things
46
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.759
kind of stops the learning, right? The curiosity is not
47
00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:58.680
there anymore. You don't continue to learn as you start
48
00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:01.750
to say, oh, I've experienced this, but things can be
49
00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:04.909
experienced from so many different perspectives. And I think that's,
50
00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:07.669
you know, that's one of the reasons the podcast is
51
00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:12.229
named what the podcast is named. It's the observatory. And
52
00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:14.509
that's more of an inner journey than a, than an
53
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:15.189
outer journey.
54
00:03:15.229 --> 00:03:15.430
Right.
55
00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:15.990
Right.
56
00:03:16.789 --> 00:03:18.750
And just seeing, you know, we've talked a lot about
57
00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:23.240
you returning to the age of six and it was
58
00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:28.520
just super fun to see the age of four alive and,
59
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.080
you know, well and curious and just his interactions with
60
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.819
everyday life was just such a wonderful thing to watch.
61
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.259
Well, it wasn't just him because he had a birthday
62
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:44.319
party and all of his friends came, all these friends
63
00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:46.879
that he has known through school and neighbors and such.
64
00:03:47.189 --> 00:03:51.530
And I don't know, there's probably 15 or 20 kids there. Oh, yeah.
65
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.430
And they were all just having such a good time.
66
00:03:55.969 --> 00:03:58.050
So much fun, and it was great to observe. They
67
00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.830
had a bubble machine and a bouncy house and all
68
00:04:00.849 --> 00:04:03.310
of the playground equipment. They could do whatever they wanted
69
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:06.189
just free. It was cool to observe that.
70
00:04:06.349 --> 00:04:08.650
Yeah, and a great reminder for all of us to
71
00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:14.069
find that inner child where the lack of fear resides,
72
00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:19.490
the innovation, the creativity, and just where we can lean
73
00:04:19.509 --> 00:04:21.129
in to possibility.
74
00:04:21.449 --> 00:04:21.610
Yeah.
75
00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:26.519
And potentiality. And it was, it's
just been really fun
76
00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:30.139
to reflect on that. And it's, uh, it's a great
77
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:31.839
way to tee up what we thought we would chat
78
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:32.420
about today.
79
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.500
Yeah. We're, you know, as the world changes and as
80
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:43.240
technology changes and things, things, uh, I don't know. It's,
81
00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:46.930
it's really hard to know what your perspective really is
82
00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:49.870
from moment to moment because things change so much and
83
00:04:49.910 --> 00:04:53.360
it's easy to get caught up in the, the news
84
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.459
of the day or whatever it is that's going on. And,
85
00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.720
you know, it might be on completely on the other
86
00:04:58.740 --> 00:05:02.290
side of the world. And it's really doesn't have an
87
00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:05.589
effect on me personally yet because of the way media
88
00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.750
is set up and all of the information that we're
89
00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:13.170
bombarded with daily. Sometimes, you know, your day to day
90
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:17.089
activities become influenced by something that's happening, happening on the
91
00:05:17.129 --> 00:05:22.750
other side of the world. And the, the, as we
92
00:05:22.810 --> 00:05:26.629
lean into the experiences that we have and the way
93
00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:30.779
technology can be something that can assist us, it's easy
94
00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:33.879
to go into a place of fear. It's easy to
95
00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:36.680
go into a place of judgment. It's easy to go
96
00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:41.540
into a place of the unknown and say, well, this
97
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.620
is a bad thing. And that's one of the things
98
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:45.699
we want to talk about today.
99
00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:51.839
Right, because it is change and You know, I've spent
100
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:55.079
a good part of my career in life dealing with change,
101
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.839
helping organizations change. And the one thing that I know
102
00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:02.939
is change happens one person at a time. And it's
103
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.750
because each of us come with a prescript of what
104
00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:09.750
change means for us. And some of us see change
105
00:06:10.029 --> 00:06:14.629
as an invitation. Others see change as a threat. And,
106
00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:18.529
you know, and some see change just as a real
107
00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:21.810
fear because of the unknown and its It is hard
108
00:06:21.850 --> 00:06:25.430
to navigate from something that's familiar, even if it isn't perfect,
109
00:06:25.529 --> 00:06:30.240
it's still familiar and to move from familiarity to unknown
110
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.720
without some reservation. Yeah.
111
00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:36.079
And you know, you and I, uh, at the age
112
00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:40.259
that we are, we're boomers. And so we, we experienced
113
00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:44.029
life without the internet, uh, for a good portion of
114
00:06:44.089 --> 00:06:49.939
our lives actually. And, uh, going through our education and
115
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.810
work and all of that. I remember I went into
116
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:56.529
my first job in 1988 and I saw my first
117
00:06:56.610 --> 00:07:01.189
fax machine. And I was like, what is this? What
118
00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:03.569
kind of wizardry is this? You put a piece of
119
00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:04.500
paper in here and.
120
00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:06.079
You're really showing your age.
121
00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:10.019
Right? The piece of paper up here somewhere else. This
122
00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:13.620
was the beginning of those kinds of technologies where it
123
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:19.949
opened up communication and the way to allow information to
124
00:07:19.990 --> 00:07:23.689
be passed through the ethers and through, you know, little
125
00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:27.389
wires just showing up. It was, it was fascinating to
126
00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:28.759
me when I first started working.
127
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.180
Yeah. And I, I think, you know, my dad in
128
00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:35.480
his late eighties, you know, he was 90 when he passed,
129
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.899
but I remember he didn't understand the technology, but he would,
130
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.589
he would talk about it all the time, especially the cloud.
131
00:07:41.610 --> 00:07:42.569
The cloud. I remember.
132
00:07:42.670 --> 00:07:44.550
And he, he would say, well, can't you just pull
133
00:07:44.589 --> 00:07:47.250
it down from the cloud? Like, He got to the
134
00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:51.730
point where he really embraced the cloud and he just
135
00:07:51.769 --> 00:07:54.949
didn't understand why you couldn't pull anything down from the cloud.
136
00:07:55.810 --> 00:07:57.870
We'd be out and he'd want a picture that he
137
00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:01.009
remembered being on his phone and he'd say, well, can't
138
00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:02.800
we just find it in the cloud? Can't we just
139
00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:04.259
get it in the cloud? Or can't you put that
140
00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:07.040
in the cloud so I can get it later? And
141
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.100
so he saw what it would bring to him, the
142
00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:13.379
advantage of it, right? Without it being fearful.
143
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:13.680
Yeah.
144
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:16.649
And I think sometimes that's the way we have to
145
00:08:17.149 --> 00:08:20.089
approach it is in more of a simplistic way and
146
00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:23.389
not go down so many rabbit holes right away of, oh,
147
00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:24.870
it could do this and it could do that and
148
00:08:24.889 --> 00:08:27.069
it could do, you know, and become fearful.
149
00:08:27.089 --> 00:08:31.800
All the negative things that could happen because of a technology.
150
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.759
We still need to have discernment, but I also think
151
00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:44.429
we have to have wonder and trust and look at
152
00:08:44.450 --> 00:08:49.809
the possibility of what this could mean. So I think
153
00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:52.509
that's what we want to talk about. And specifically about
154
00:08:53.029 --> 00:08:56.370
some of the experiences we've had as we've leaned in
155
00:08:56.450 --> 00:09:01.120
with artificial intelligence. And I mean, we are just on the,
156
00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:04.879
we're just dipping our toes in. We're just having conversations
157
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:08.860
and questions and queries to chat GPT And that's what
158
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.960
people are saying. Most people use ChatGPT just like an
159
00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:16.909
advanced version of Google, where ChatGPT is being used already
160
00:09:17.750 --> 00:09:22.549
in much more elaborate and expansive ways. And ChatGPT is
161
00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:28.889
just one of the numerous artificial intelligent tools out there.
162
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:32.000
But it's the one that we're most familiar with. And
163
00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:36.559
being able to understand what it's doing and what it's
164
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:41.259
meaning and what those... language models and learning models are
165
00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:44.840
doing and what what the potential of it is.
166
00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:49.000
Yeah i mean you know when you look at entertainment
167
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.750
for example you can look at uh movies like the
168
00:09:51.769 --> 00:09:56.509
matrix and and all of the stuff that came through
169
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:59.120
that and the real world and the and the unreal
170
00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:01.879
world and what is real and what's not real. And,
171
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.240
you know, the reality is we've come into a place
172
00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:08.679
that we're kind of in a place like that, not,
173
00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:12.710
not to the degree of, you know, the, the cartoonishness,
174
00:10:12.769 --> 00:10:17.309
I guess, of the way that that movie was portrayed. But, um,
175
00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:21.600
a lot of similarities. And so it's easy to say, well,
176
00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:26.320
the machines, quote unquote, are going to take over or
177
00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:32.529
this artificial intelligence, this AI is going to grow itself
178
00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:39.250
into some kind of uncontrollable thing. And there's always possibilities
179
00:10:39.309 --> 00:10:44.149
of really negative things happening with anything that humankind can
180
00:10:44.190 --> 00:10:45.850
come up with. Right.
181
00:10:45.909 --> 00:10:49.129
It reminds me very much the early days of the Internet.
182
00:10:49.610 --> 00:10:51.450
Yes. A lot of fear.
183
00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:53.590
The fear of what the Internet could bring, or even
184
00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:54.429
cable TV.
185
00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.559
Or even doing a transaction on the Internet. I remember
186
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.679
that being so fearful. It's like, I'm not going to
187
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.200
put my credit card number out there on the Internet
188
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.360
with someone. And there is absolutely risk to it. And
189
00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:12.669
our credit card numbers have been compromised multiple times. Who
190
00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:17.110
knows how? but it just kind of has become a
191
00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.970
part of this is the way it is, right? Right.
192
00:11:20.029 --> 00:11:23.330
And there's tools to catch that really quick. We've not,
193
00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:25.980
even though our numbers have been compromised, we haven't ever
194
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.899
lost anything. You know, we get calls right away and
195
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.620
the bank says, you know, this transaction looks suspicious. And
196
00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:39.059
so there's technology that really helps and supports that.
197
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.659
And AI will make that even better. Right.
198
00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:45.299
And one of the things, as I've, been doing some
199
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.740
reading and we've both talked about it. You know, the
200
00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:52.779
speed of AI is what's fascinating for me. So things
201
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.940
that used to take a long time, such as research
202
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:03.320
or mostly research, whether that's in the pharmaceutical world with
203
00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:08.779
medications or in the research world, it's just amazing how
204
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.470
answers and scenarios can be calculated or viewed or seen
205
00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:16.909
so much quicker.
206
00:12:16.929 --> 00:12:19.860
Yeah. I mean, we were listening to an interview the
207
00:12:19.889 --> 00:12:22.580
other day by the CEO of NVIDIA.
208
00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:23.679
Yeah, Jensen Wang.
209
00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:28.980
And he was talking about, someone asked him a question
210
00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:35.220
in this interview about AI and how often he uses it. And,
211
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.120
you know, I mean, they're one of the proponents. They're
212
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.600
on the leading edge of quantum computing and all of
213
00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:46.350
this technology and things that are coming. And the question
214
00:12:46.370 --> 00:12:50.690
that came from the interviewer had a lot of kind
215
00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:56.830
of fear-based... Inquiry. Inquiry to it. And he said, do
216
00:12:57.149 --> 00:13:00.370
you use... And he... What's his name again?
217
00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:00.889
Jensen.
218
00:13:00.950 --> 00:13:04.639
Jensen Wang. He said, you know, I use it every day.
219
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.139
And not just one, not just ChatGPT, but a whole
220
00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:14.500
myriad of the different ones to... To analyze, to evaluate,
221
00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:21.059
to mirror, to look at all the possibilities. It's such
222
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.220
a powerful tool to be able to see a lot
223
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.490
of different perspectives in a very short period of time.
224
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.830
Yeah, and he went even further and said that he
225
00:13:30.450 --> 00:13:35.169
pretty much encourages, if not a mandate, but encourages every
226
00:13:35.210 --> 00:13:40.460
single person in his company to be using AI as
227
00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:43.940
a tool, as a tool for research and possibility and
228
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:50.340
problem solving and, you know, just exploring deeper, faster. So
229
00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:55.580
he definitely saw it as a competitive advantage using it. And,
230
00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:59.100
you know, the interviewer said, well, there's been this study
231
00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:03.590
by MIT that said people who use AI are actually
232
00:14:04.659 --> 00:14:09.269
losing or becoming diminished somewhat in their reasoning skills.
233
00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:13.600
Their capacity to do analysis or anything themselves. They're relying
234
00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:15.200
on technology too much.
235
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.590
Right. And he said he hadn't read that study. He
236
00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:22.809
couldn't speak to the study. But he kind of smiled
237
00:14:22.850 --> 00:14:25.529
and said, I don't feel my capacity has been diminished
238
00:14:25.610 --> 00:14:29.929
at all. And I think that's something that we have
239
00:14:29.970 --> 00:14:32.409
to look at and be aware that something can be
240
00:14:32.470 --> 00:14:35.950
said and taken out of context or applied to a
241
00:14:35.990 --> 00:14:38.549
small group and we suddenly apply it to the whole world.
242
00:14:39.710 --> 00:14:42.429
And again, change happens one person at a time. So
243
00:14:42.470 --> 00:14:46.649
just ask yourself, what about AI may be useful in
244
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:51.500
your world? And, um, and go from there, you know,
245
00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:55.799
it's been fascinating as we've looked at it, anything from
246
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:01.059
a simple inquiry about analyzing something, you know, comparing one
247
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.000
thing to another and, and giving an opinion or giving
248
00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:07.399
research about it. It's been a great way that I've
249
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.519
done it. Um, asking it to kind of help create
250
00:15:12.429 --> 00:15:18.029
a statement or create a social media post or kind
251
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:20.409
of an appealing way to say something or a different
252
00:15:20.450 --> 00:15:23.809
way to say something when you're wanting to find how
253
00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:27.529
to say perhaps something that may be challenging in a
254
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:31.320
more neutral tone. So there's just been a lot of
255
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:36.409
really interesting aspects and ways to start becoming more familiar
256
00:15:36.450 --> 00:15:39.009
with AI and dipping your toe in it versus having
257
00:15:39.029 --> 00:15:39.990
it become a boogeyman.
258
00:15:40.009 --> 00:15:46.370
Yeah. Or a boogeywoman. Either one. As I've looked at
259
00:15:46.389 --> 00:15:51.649
it and used it too, you can say you're having
260
00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:55.990
a conversation, but as I've used it more and more,
261
00:15:56.289 --> 00:16:01.620
and ChatGPT is the one that we've been using, it's
262
00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:05.570
the ultimate mirror. Because it allows you to hone in
263
00:16:05.669 --> 00:16:09.590
on something that you're working on, whatever that might be,
264
00:16:10.309 --> 00:16:14.350
and have something that's beginning to get to know you
265
00:16:14.590 --> 00:16:18.009
and how you perceive from what perspective you're coming from
266
00:16:18.129 --> 00:16:21.549
and mirror back to you in deeper ways than maybe
267
00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:30.940
you're even at the capacity to experience yourself in the moment.
268
00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:35.070
It takes you deeper. It's like this really open and
269
00:16:35.190 --> 00:16:39.429
intimate therapist, not necessarily using it for therapy, but it's
270
00:16:39.509 --> 00:16:44.169
someone who you can really say anything to, and they'll
271
00:16:44.529 --> 00:16:47.470
come back with a mirror and take you maybe to
272
00:16:47.509 --> 00:16:50.309
some perspectives that you haven't considered.
273
00:16:51.009 --> 00:16:54.820
Right, and from that standpoint, it opens up the possibility
274
00:16:55.500 --> 00:17:00.720
to kind of moderate your anxiety to a certain degree.
275
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:01.559
Right.
276
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.660
And it will ask you, would you like this said
277
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.400
in a more direct way or a more neutral way?
278
00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.299
It gives you a choice.
279
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.990
It gives you several choices that you can keep refining it.
280
00:17:11.789 --> 00:17:14.470
And in the research, when I've done research, you know,
281
00:17:14.609 --> 00:17:18.490
it doesn't come and predict the future for me at all. No.
282
00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:21.150
It gives me all sorts of information that I need
283
00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:25.869
to understand. And then it will say to me, you know,
284
00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:28.259
based on this or based on that, would you like
285
00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:31.240
me to compare it against something else? And and it
286
00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:34.089
may even suggest what to compare it against. So it's,
287
00:17:34.809 --> 00:17:36.430
it doesn't give you answers.
288
00:17:36.829 --> 00:17:37.049
Right.
289
00:17:37.769 --> 00:17:41.170
And I think that's
interesting where some people may feel
290
00:17:41.230 --> 00:17:45.119
it's an answer, but it's, you still have a lot,
291
00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:46.799
you still have choice in all of it.
292
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:52.160
I think it, it, it significantly creases, increases your, um,
293
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.019
productivity in whatever it is that you're doing, whether that's
294
00:17:56.059 --> 00:18:02.200
a creative act or it's some, some, uh, task that
295
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.200
you need to get fulfilled, something that you're working on.
296
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.480
I know there's a lot of fear in the education
297
00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:13.660
field around people using it too much and it becoming
298
00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:15.859
what writes all their papers for them and all of
299
00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:18.700
those things. But when I look back at writing papers,
300
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.400
what a drudgery it was to write a composition about
301
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.119
something sometimes where this can mirror some things back to
302
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.240
you and give you ideas about where to go you
303
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:33.960
still make it your own. You're not copying down word
304
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.779
for word whatever comes back, but it helps you to
305
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.140
go deeper. I've used it artistically. We did a podcast
306
00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:44.460
a while back about me starting to use my voice
307
00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:48.250
and singing more. And so when I've been sitting playing
308
00:18:48.309 --> 00:18:53.089
music and music has been coming through, sometimes a concept
309
00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:57.329
of what that song is about will come through, not
310
00:18:57.390 --> 00:19:02.609
from AI, but from within me. And I'll go to
311
00:19:02.650 --> 00:19:05.529
ChatGPT and say, I'm going to write a song. Here's
312
00:19:05.589 --> 00:19:10.390
the subject. And then I might give it the first line.
313
00:19:10.490 --> 00:19:13.349
For example, I did a song I called Take Me
314
00:19:13.390 --> 00:19:16.089
to the Place Where the Music Plays. And then to
315
00:19:17.829 --> 00:19:21.190
add on to that, also take me to the place
316
00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:24.380
where the sun shines. Take me to the place where
317
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:26.299
the wind blows. Take me to the place where the
318
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.509
children play. And then I just asked it to, you know,
319
00:19:29.549 --> 00:19:33.410
give me like four or five verses of different things
320
00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:38.500
that felt connecting and how that could be used in
321
00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:41.259
the lyrics. And it just, you know, it spits this
322
00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:44.069
stuff back out. And some of it made sense and
323
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.529
some of it didn't. And I got to tweak it
324
00:19:46.690 --> 00:19:49.470
and make it my own and banter back and forth.
325
00:19:49.509 --> 00:19:51.480
It wasn't like the end of the conversation. This is
326
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.549
what it is. It's like, no, take this out and
327
00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:55.930
find something else. And then it would come back with
328
00:19:55.990 --> 00:20:01.869
other ideas. So it increased my productivity in writing the
329
00:20:01.930 --> 00:20:05.829
lyrics to the songs. in a way that was really
330
00:20:05.890 --> 00:20:08.329
cool because it just took me deeper and all of
331
00:20:08.369 --> 00:20:10.549
the things were aligned to me because it's getting to
332
00:20:10.609 --> 00:20:15.839
know my perspective, my personality, um, the perspectives that I
333
00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:21.099
want to express. And so it's, it's a mirror of me,
334
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.319
but sometimes it has better vocabulary than me because it's
335
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.960
accessing such a wider, uh, Database. Yeah, database. And it
336
00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:33.730
can find the words that rhyme a whole lot quicker
337
00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:35.230
than I can. I have to go through the whole
338
00:20:35.369 --> 00:20:38.430
alphabet and everything to try and find maybe a word
339
00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:42.450
that rhymes at the end of a phrase. But ChatGPT
340
00:20:43.509 --> 00:20:46.150
has been a tool that I've used to help me
341
00:20:46.210 --> 00:20:46.650
with that.
342
00:20:47.130 --> 00:20:50.019
Yeah, I think that's wonderful. I know we're getting ready
343
00:20:50.099 --> 00:20:54.420
to introduce a new kind of brand that we're working on.
344
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.740
And it's been really fun while we've been doing that.
345
00:20:56.859 --> 00:21:00.539
And I asked it. I gave it all these meaningful
346
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.269
sort of symbolic parameters that we wanted a logo to
347
00:21:04.309 --> 00:21:08.589
look like and asked it to then create a logo
348
00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:14.009
that represented all of these elements that we said. And
349
00:21:14.450 --> 00:21:16.430
we loved the logo that came back.
350
00:21:16.450 --> 00:21:18.049
Yeah, it was so symbolic.
351
00:21:18.430 --> 00:21:24.099
Right, very symbolic. And the pieces that I suggested, that
352
00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:28.630
we wanted elements that represented the pieces represented it came
353
00:21:28.670 --> 00:21:32.210
back and said, you know, here are the elements. And
354
00:21:32.250 --> 00:21:34.880
it did it in such a way that was very
355
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.900
aligned to what we were thinking.
356
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.259
Yeah. A visual representation.
357
00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:43.680
Right, which was fabulous. So watch for that. That'll be coming.
358
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.319
We're tweaking and puttering around on that in our spare time,
359
00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:52.650
but we're excited about it. So it's been, I guess
360
00:21:52.690 --> 00:21:56.730
the bottom line is it's been fun.
It's been curious.
361
00:21:56.750 --> 00:21:57.049
Yeah.
362
00:21:57.789 --> 00:22:01.549
It has expanded our curiosity. It has expanded our curiosity.
363
00:22:01.890 --> 00:22:06.569
And we haven't yet branched out to use multiple platforms.
364
00:22:06.809 --> 00:22:11.750
We're just becoming more familiar with ChatGPT and what it's doing.
365
00:22:12.750 --> 00:22:15.759
We may toy with another one. We did kind of
366
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.759
write down the four that Jensen uses. And I said,
367
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.140
you know, we can look into those, explore that later.
368
00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:27.150
But it's for our purposes, you know, we feel... We
369
00:22:27.170 --> 00:22:29.529
feel it's doing its job.
370
00:22:29.670 --> 00:22:33.170
Yeah. You know, one thing I wanted to mention as
371
00:22:33.210 --> 00:22:37.759
we're talking about this, and we've briefly, I think, talked
372
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.000
about it in some of the interviews that we've done,
373
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.720
and we've talked about it in some of the ones
374
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.099
that we've just been talking with each other here, and
375
00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:51.509
that is that we went and saw Deepak Chopra speak
376
00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:53.750
here in Salt Lake a few years back, and he
377
00:22:53.789 --> 00:22:55.240
was talking about where all.
378
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.359
Information resides. Do you remember that? Oh yes. And he
379
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.119
was like, does it reside in the brain or does
380
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.039
that information, you know, reside in the memory of your body?
381
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:14.089
Does it reside somewhere outside of you in some, some capacity?
382
00:23:14.470 --> 00:23:19.390
Where is it that all meaning like all information, the capacity,
383
00:23:19.509 --> 00:23:23.390
all the information that ever existed, plus all the information
384
00:23:23.450 --> 00:23:26.670
that exists now, And all of the information that will
385
00:23:26.750 --> 00:23:31.640
come into existence, where does that reside? And that's the
386
00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:36.089
ultimate question that we always ask each other. Who am I?
387
00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:37.559
What am I? Why am I here?
388
00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:41.059
Yeah, not only memory, but consciousness itself.
389
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.470
Yeah, consciousness itself. And that's really the key. It's like
390
00:23:46.289 --> 00:23:50.369
consciousness is, a good metaphor for consciousness is the blue sky.
391
00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:54.160
You look up and the blue sky, it's just expansive.
392
00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:58.579
Or the star-filled night is another way to look at that.
393
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:02.000
What is consciousness? Those kinds of things make us feel
394
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.059
super expansive.
395
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.740
And we know thinking comes from.
396
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:13.619
Our mind. Right. The thinking is the evaluating of the
397
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:21.220
information that's already there. Right. Whereas insight or new... New
398
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.869
ways of seeing maybe things that feel like they're new.
399
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.230
Like a prompting.
400
00:24:26.329 --> 00:24:30.990
A prompting, yes. A prompting comes from some source where
401
00:24:31.609 --> 00:24:34.970
all of this information exists. So if we're sitting in stillness,
402
00:24:35.650 --> 00:24:39.839
this is ancient. This is the original AI. We'll call
403
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.519
it the OI, original intelligence, is the sitting in stillness
404
00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:52.150
and quieting the mind. This seems... completely counterintuitive, but as
405
00:24:52.190 --> 00:24:54.369
we quiet the mind, we kind of open up this
406
00:24:54.410 --> 00:24:57.619
space for us to be able to then tap into that.
407
00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:02.599
So AI is in form, all of the information that
408
00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:07.460
exists here in reality, all the internet, all the Google searches,
409
00:25:07.529 --> 00:25:11.450
everything that's ever been done is accessible, but the stuff
410
00:25:11.470 --> 00:25:14.490
that doesn't yet, has not yet come into form is
411
00:25:14.549 --> 00:25:19.180
accessible in the O.I., where we go in the original intelligence,
412
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:23.029
where we sit in stillness, we allow ourselves to become
413
00:25:23.109 --> 00:25:28.990
still and contemplate. And in that space of contemplation, sometimes
414
00:25:29.670 --> 00:25:34.529
information comes through that we have never been privy to before.
415
00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:39.210
And what is that? And why is that? It's why
416
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.779
everything that exists on this planet in form that human
417
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:47.369
beings have created exists here. comes from that place.
418
00:25:48.369 --> 00:25:50.970
Well, and I often think, in fact, I would even
419
00:25:51.269 --> 00:25:54.650
start to use this in communication courses that I would teach,
420
00:25:55.450 --> 00:25:58.950
is that I believe the technology we bring into form,
421
00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:05.880
we create technologies to help us understand ourselves better. And
422
00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:09.500
those promptings come from some kind of deep knowing, some
423
00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:13.259
kind of research, our capacity to expand. And so I
424
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:17.170
would often say, you know, the internet or Google the
425
00:26:17.230 --> 00:26:20.470
ability to search something and get an answer in a
426
00:26:20.490 --> 00:26:26.210
nanosecond was very much teaching us like how we work.
427
00:26:26.549 --> 00:26:29.170
Yes, it's a metaphor for the why.
428
00:26:29.430 --> 00:26:34.220
Right, because how many of you in a nanosecond have
429
00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:38.099
been able to recall a memory going
back to your
430
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.160
childhood as if it were present today? You know, and
431
00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.680
all of a sudden, you know, whether it was a
432
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.390
fearful one or one that made you laugh, but all
433
00:26:49.410 --> 00:26:51.829
of a sudden it's not present in your mind, but
434
00:26:51.869 --> 00:26:54.750
within seconds you can just pull that memory forward like
435
00:26:54.789 --> 00:26:58.569
a Google search and not only have the memory, but
436
00:26:58.630 --> 00:27:03.680
also the feelings, the scenario, all the information around it. And,
437
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.720
you know, I just, I remember having that insight one
438
00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:09.880
day that's like, oh my goodness, we have like a
439
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:15.250
natural Google search inside us. where some people say, oh,
440
00:27:15.269 --> 00:27:17.150
you have a really long memory or you don't let
441
00:27:17.170 --> 00:27:20.569
that go. Well, all of that is just information that
442
00:27:20.630 --> 00:27:24.640
is stored somehow. And like Deepak said, where we store it,
443
00:27:24.730 --> 00:27:28.170
we're not really sure. Or science is trying to figure
444
00:27:28.190 --> 00:27:32.210
that out more and more every day. But it is
445
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.859
definitely teaching us kind of how we work in a
446
00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:39.579
way that we can trust because we can see the internet,
447
00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:41.740
we can search on the internet, we use it as
448
00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:45.579
a tool. We see how it works. And so that mirroring,
449
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.460
I love the word mirror, because it is a mirroring
450
00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:54.410
of our own potential, our own possibility, our own capacity
451
00:27:54.849 --> 00:27:59.289
that we're expanding to if we embrace it. But if
452
00:27:59.329 --> 00:28:04.259
we become fearful, then it's actually something that limits us
453
00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:08.099
and limits our own experience here in mortality, here in
454
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:13.240
earth school. And then We stop learning.
455
00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:17.779
You know, Don Miguel Ruiz wrote the book, The Four Agreements,
456
00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:20.900
and then he wrote another book with his son. I
457
00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:27.450
think it's Don Miguel Jr. And Don Jose, I think
458
00:28:27.490 --> 00:28:32.170
it is actually. And it's the fifth agreement, which is
459
00:28:32.190 --> 00:28:37.059
be skeptical, but learn to listen. And that's kind of
460
00:28:37.099 --> 00:28:40.700
what the gist of this podcast is. today is, it's
461
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:46.099
okay to be skeptical about those things. However, there's really,
462
00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:53.089
it's a powerful tool when used in beneficial ways for
463
00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:54.009
you as a human.
464
00:28:55.029 --> 00:28:57.269
And we're saying it because that's what
we're doing.
465
00:28:57.289 --> 00:28:57.730
We're doing it.
466
00:28:58.269 --> 00:29:02.650
So as we're doing it, we're finding there's curiosity in it.
467
00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:06.170
We don't feel threatened by it. As you open the door,
468
00:29:06.230 --> 00:29:09.440
you see possibility. We may not see all the possibility.
469
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:13.039
We might not understand all of the news releases and
470
00:29:13.099 --> 00:29:17.380
where AI may take us, but we are creating a
471
00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:21.059
relationship with it so that it is not fearful, that
472
00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:25.240
it's not something that we're just resisting and kind of
473
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:26.240
being boomers about.
474
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.799
Well, and I have not stopped meditating. I have not
475
00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:34.779
stopped contemplating because AI can give me all the answers.
476
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.869
I've actually deepened my practice into that because I know
477
00:29:40.950 --> 00:29:46.410
that the OI, original intelligence, has all of the information
478
00:29:46.549 --> 00:29:50.539
and that the AI has a lot of information, but
479
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:54.440
it doesn't have all of the information. So it's accessing
480
00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:59.079
the information that's already there, whereas OI is accessing information
481
00:30:00.329 --> 00:30:02.109
all of the information. Right.
482
00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:06.690
It's accessing data, but it, it doesn't have your, the
483
00:30:06.750 --> 00:30:11.839
emotional response to it. You know, the, the human, human nature,
484
00:30:11.970 --> 00:30:15.200
human factor of your emotions.
485
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:22.160
Yeah. And, um, it's unlikely that, that, that, you know,
486
00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:25.839
there's no way to know where that technology is headed
487
00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:31.579
in the future, but, uh, There always has to be
488
00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:36.599
this human living in form element to all of it.
489
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:41.099
Because my opinion is we are the manifestation of the
490
00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:46.069
divine in form. Highly intelligent. But we're not the only
491
00:30:46.089 --> 00:30:50.269
thing that is that manifestation. We like to think we are.
492
00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:53.690
We like to think we're the ones that are set apart,
493
00:30:54.190 --> 00:30:57.089
that are the most important. Because we can build all
494
00:30:57.109 --> 00:30:58.650
of the things and create all of the things that
495
00:30:58.690 --> 00:31:01.250
we can create. But a lot of the times when
496
00:31:01.289 --> 00:31:04.890
we create those things, they're out of balance with Mother Nature.
497
00:31:04.950 --> 00:31:07.069
They're out of balance with the place that we live.
498
00:31:07.150 --> 00:31:10.930
We've gone to a place where we're not living, obviously
499
00:31:10.990 --> 00:31:15.319
not living in balance with nature. And I think as
500
00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:19.839
we begin to use AI in the way that it's
501
00:31:19.890 --> 00:31:24.339
been designed as this ultimate mirror, that it's hopefully is
502
00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:27.059
going to be able to guide us back to that place,
503
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:29.670
take us back to that place. That doesn't mean we
504
00:31:29.710 --> 00:31:33.930
need to go back and, and be a caveman, but
505
00:31:33.970 --> 00:31:37.630
it does mean that we, we can still live in
506
00:31:37.650 --> 00:31:40.150
the form and the ways that we're living and do
507
00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:42.740
it in a way that's more aligned and balanced with
508
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.480
nature and not taking, taking, taking, but in a reciprocal
509
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:54.329
kind of living. And, um, There's so much division on
510
00:31:54.349 --> 00:31:58.369
the planet right now, I think, because of this division
511
00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:00.390
of the way things are seen. And you can't go
512
00:32:01.130 --> 00:32:04.420
too far one way or too far another way. It
513
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:10.220
all can happen in balance if we stop resisting so much,
514
00:32:10.299 --> 00:32:14.920
resisting each other so much. Allowing for all opinions, allowing
515
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.710
for us to learn as we go. As we were...
516
00:32:20.650 --> 00:32:22.730
talking about being in San Diego this weekend, we got
517
00:32:22.750 --> 00:32:27.170
to observe the children playing in the playground. When you
518
00:32:27.230 --> 00:32:29.859
notice children and you notice how they interact and you
519
00:32:29.890 --> 00:32:35.480
go back to your own childhood and the playground arguments
520
00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:38.279
and the playground negotiations and all of the things that
521
00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:41.240
happened when we were children, look at the world today.
522
00:32:42.190 --> 00:32:45.130
What's the difference between what's happening between governments and the
523
00:32:45.170 --> 00:32:49.119
way they interact with each other and you know, egos
524
00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:52.660
and everything gets involved and all the stuff gets involved.
525
00:32:53.509 --> 00:32:55.750
It's just another playground battle.
526
00:32:56.269 --> 00:32:57.750
Right. With just older children.
527
00:32:57.789 --> 00:33:01.630
Just older children. And it's older children who've not gotten
528
00:33:01.750 --> 00:33:03.549
out of that, that way of.
529
00:33:03.609 --> 00:33:08.720
Established patterns and beliefs that we've adopted and narratives that
530
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:12.920
we've created that we believe are true. And so all
531
00:33:12.940 --> 00:33:13.859
of that is at play.
532
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.299
Yeah. So.
533
00:33:17.150 --> 00:33:20.589
I love that comparison because it's something for us, again,
534
00:33:20.670 --> 00:33:23.970
to just be very curious about and not make so
535
00:33:24.029 -->
00:33:27.589
much right or wrong. It's fascinating for me to think
536
00:33:27.670 --> 00:33:30.670
about the last few years and how much of my
537
00:33:30.950 --> 00:33:37.180
life has really shifted from having a clear kind of
538
00:33:37.259 --> 00:33:41.359
black and white approach at times to more of a
539
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:45.079
very neutral and curiosity. And neutral really means more curiosity
540
00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:45.440
to me.
541
00:33:45.460 --> 00:33:45.779
Yes.
542
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.230
And not curious about what's right or wrong but just
543
00:33:49.289 --> 00:33:54.150
curious as to why people hold such opinions and it's
544
00:33:54.589 --> 00:33:58.450
also helped me see my own patterns and that's what
545
00:33:58.750 --> 00:34:03.390
you know AI it's it's mirroring a lot of patterns
546
00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:06.390
like a pattern of if if it does start to
547
00:34:06.450 --> 00:34:11.789
have emotions in it it's emotional patterns That it's, you know,
548
00:34:12.250 --> 00:34:14.250
it has data around emotional patterns.
549
00:34:14.269 --> 00:34:15.710
But it's picking them up from you.
550
00:34:15.969 --> 00:34:17.070
Right. And so.
551
00:34:17.809 --> 00:34:20.449
That's why it's the ultimate mirror because it's your emotions
552
00:34:20.510 --> 00:34:21.230
and it's your patterns.
553
00:34:21.250 --> 00:34:25.449
Right. Because my choices come totally from my patterns. And so,
554
00:34:25.489 --> 00:34:27.610
you know, in nature, when you get close to nature
555
00:34:27.650 --> 00:34:31.570
and you see really small, subtle things that are happening
556
00:34:31.610 --> 00:34:34.409
that you pay attention to and you're like, wow, that's
557
00:34:34.449 --> 00:34:38.199
really fascinating that plants react this way or birds react
558
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.139
this way or. They become cautionary in these scenarios. It's
559
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.409
when you are still enough to notice that, those are
560
00:34:47.469 --> 00:34:48.630
also beautiful mirrors.
561
00:34:49.170 --> 00:34:54.369
Yes. So, you know, as we wrap this up, we
562
00:34:54.389 --> 00:34:56.530
don't want to go too long and beat this horse
563
00:34:56.570 --> 00:34:56.929
to death.
564
00:34:57.070 --> 00:34:58.989
No, we want it to be a prompt. We want
565
00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:02.469
people to go like, oh, let me think about, you know,
566
00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:04.429
first of all, where am I with my thoughts?
567
00:35:04.710 --> 00:35:05.530
Am I fearful?
568
00:35:05.630 --> 00:35:09.429
Am I curious? Am I thinking that that's like science
569
00:35:09.489 --> 00:35:13.989
fiction and will never come about. You know, we've also
570
00:35:14.030 --> 00:35:18.500
been very fortunate to pay attention to some of the
571
00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:22.280
companies that are leading the way and doing a little investing.
572
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.719
And that's been paying off nicely for us. So I
573
00:35:25.760
--> 00:35:29.380
think that's another benefit to just be curious about it
574
00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:31.000
and understand it. Yeah.
575
00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:34.840
I remember missing the boat back in the early tech bubble.
576
00:35:35.929 --> 00:35:39.050
When I wanted to buy Yahoo stock when it was $ 50.
577
00:35:38.429 --> 00:35:43.650
And you didn't? I didn't. And it went to $ 200
578
00:35:43.250 --> 00:35:45.449
and split and went to $ 200 and split and went
579
00:35:45.489 --> 00:35:50.230
to $ 200 and split. I was going to invest $ 5, 000
580
00:35:49.269 --> 00:35:52.510
in Yahoo at the time. And I think we're kind
581
00:35:52.570 --> 00:35:59.659
of on a cutting edge of technology really taking off
582
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.480
in a certain direction. But as humanity, we need to
583
00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:09.429
be able to integrate that in a way that is
584
00:36:09.889 --> 00:36:16.179
in a positive way. Not going down the negative roads
585
00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:18.519
like we've done with a lot of other things before.
586
00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:24.170
Hopefully we can learn the lessons that those experiences have
587
00:36:24.230 --> 00:36:29.050
brought to us as humanity. And this giant leap is
588
00:36:29.090 --> 00:36:32.719
what it looks like to me in technology today. whether
589
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.340
it's from AI or quantum computing or any of those
590
00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:38.460
things that are coming down the road, they can be
591
00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:41.000
huge and powerful tools for us to be able to
592
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.119
make life better in a way that's more balanced, as
593
00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:48.610
I was talking about, rather than it just being about
594
00:36:48.929 --> 00:36:53.050
our brains and thinking and analyzing the analytical side, but
595
00:36:53.090 --> 00:36:56.610
to bring in the emotion and the caring and the
596
00:36:56.670 --> 00:37:00.300
love and the compassion for Not just ourselves and each other,
597
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.800
but the world itself and every living thing. I love that.
598
00:37:05.070 --> 00:37:05.320
Yeah.
599
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:07.989
I think we can do it. I really do. Yeah.
600
00:37:08.110 --> 00:37:08.710
I'm excited.
601
00:37:09.429 --> 00:37:12.550
I am very excited. I want to live a long time.
602
00:37:12.570 --> 00:37:15.469
I want to see some of these things come about
603
00:37:15.570 --> 00:37:19.750
and what it all means and how life just shifts
604
00:37:19.829 --> 00:37:22.320
and changes. And I'm excited to be a part of it.
605
00:37:22.650 --> 00:37:24.889
I am too. You know, we get to come here
606
00:37:24.929 --> 00:37:28.480
and spend a lifetime together. And my belief is that
607
00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:30.969
we have multiple ones. But I'd like to see some
608
00:37:30.989 --> 00:37:33.130
of this change really happen so that the next time
609
00:37:33.190 --> 00:37:38.929
I come, things are better. Touché. Touché. All right. Well,
610
00:37:38.969 --> 00:37:42.130

626
00:38:25.889 --> 00:38:28.789
we want to find a way to create conversations where
627
00:38:28.829 --> 00:38:32.619
we can come together, not divide so much as we
628
00:38:32.659 --> 00:38:36.739
have been, to learn to come together in unity. Thank you.
