Dave Clark’s Post

LinkedIn now offers AI technology and asks me what I want to talk about when I open a new post. Here’s what I said: Dear AI- I admire your ability to help make things more efficient for people. You always manage to come up with good ideas and connect prompts in a magical way. You’ve been helpful to me from time to time. However, you’re doing more harm than good. You run the risk of people avoiding dialogue when it comes to understanding complex issues. You encourage people to take the easy way out of civil discourse. And, you run the risk of giving people incomplete information. Don’t get me wrong…I see your value. Perhaps you can add a prompt when people ask you a question involving humanity to respond with “go speak with a human.” Love, LB

Something that inspires me in tech is the sheer volume of incredible people you meet. Everyone has a personal mission they're on. And the winding paths and unknown steps can lead to some profound things. Tomorrow is built by today's connections. I try to frame the connections I make now with the mindset that I was once a martial arts, history and English teacher, and that anyone can evolve into something more. There is no limit save what is self imposed, and with the right team truly the impossible can be achieved. I know that through Predictive. Some of the technology I've come across would have been described as magic. Be it in 2000 bc, like with predicting drowning so you can prevent it, to the 19th century with brownian motion prediction to enable maintenance. Surround yourself with those trying to change the world, not just trying to make money. My first mentor told me something once- you never know who is a rising star, and when that star is rising. I'll go further- you never know what role you play in the grander picture, who you inspire, and the affects of what you build long after you committed the last change. Technology offers the most viable means to a better tomorrow, and it is only enabled with collaboration. Forge those connections. Maybe you won't always agree with the politics or agenda of the other- but weaving that tapestry is integral to progress. Predictive Equations is committed to ethical AI development- we are always open to meeting others trying to build that better tomorrow, in a way that can help everyone at scale. Our AI have already enabled early release from jail and improved medical diagnosis; we intend to deliver that to the general public. But if I've learned anything in tech it's that there are so many other ways tech can be used to help others. So if you have an idea or would like to contribute, I would love the outreach. #ethicalai #aiethics #aigovernance

Dear @Elon Musk Neuralink I’ve been following the progress of Neuralink with great interest. The potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is truly fascinating. However, I believe it’s crucial to address some concerns that many of us share: Safety: Any surgical procedure carries risks, and implanting a chip in the brain is no exception. There could be potential side effects and long-term impacts that we don’t fully understand yet. How is Neuralink addressing these concerns? Privacy: With a BCI, there could be concerns about who has access to the data collected from our brains. Ensuring data privacy and security is paramount. Could you shed some light on the measures Neuralink is taking to safeguard user data? Ethics: There are also ethical considerations. For example, could such technology be used to manipulate people’s thoughts or actions? How do we ensure it’s used responsibly? Inequality: If only the wealthy can afford such technology, it could lead to increased inequality. How is Neuralink planning to make this technology accessible to all? I believe open dialogue is key to the responsible development and deployment of new technologies. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these matters. Regards, Reza Hafezi Joo

For the thinkers out there: Uploading consciousness for travel is a fascinating concept that pops up in science fiction and is being explored by some transhumanists (people who believe in using technology to enhance human capabilities). Here's a breakdown of the idea: The Basic Premise: • Our brains and our consciousness are essentially complex information processing systems. • If we could perfectly scan and translate all the intricate connections and processes in a human brain, we could theoretically create a digital copy of a person's consciousness. • This digital consciousness could then be uploaded to a computer system or even transferred to a robotic body. Traveling with an Uploaded Consciousness: • Advantages: ◦ Speed: Instead of waiting decades or centuries in a physical spaceship, an uploaded consciousness could travel vast interstellar distances nearly instantaneously. ◦ Durability: The digital consciousness wouldn't be subject to the limitations of the human body – vulnerability to radiation, need for life support, etc. ◦ Multiple Copies: Potentially, multiple copies of the consciousness could be uploaded, creating a kind of digital backup or even enabling exploration in multiple locations simultaneously. • Challenges: ◦ The Uploading Process: Scanning and uploading a human consciousness perfectly is far beyond our current technological capabilities. ◦ The Substrate: What kind of computer system would house the uploaded consciousness? We might need vast computing power and new architectures designed specifically for this purpose. ◦ The Nature of Consciousness: Is consciousness simply a product of the brain's complexity, or is there something more that can't be captured digitally? ◦ The Psychological Impact: What would it be like to exist as a digital entity? Would it be a true continuation of the original person, or a copy? Current State & Future Possibilities: • Uploading consciousness is purely theoretical. • However, research in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) could pave the way for better understanding brain function, potentially aiding in future mind uploading techniques. Ethical Concerns: • Is creating a copy of a person truly the same as preserving the original? • What rights would an uploaded consciousness have? • Could this technology create a digital elite with vast advantages over those who remain biological?

I just got some insight on how all these world business tech billionaires like Bill gate, Elon musk and mark Zuckerberg do make themselves at top in tech industry and business world at large. This people go deep in future and bring up those innovations from future to present time. Before we can meet up to the future which they get the present innovations from, they have already moved to next future ahead. No wonder their businesses never loss value or never go downgraded. This involves the critical thinking and going deep on man's mind and connecting to the supernatural realm to get those insights. No wonder China which is one of world leading technology countries, is also know for their mediative lives which comes from their religious practice of Buddhism. #business #artificialinteligence #technology #chatgpt #computervision #deeplearning

Completely Agree, integrating technology with social engagement is the way to go. As a software trainer, engaging in calls with students has a greater impact than responding to questions via email. Additionally, I've noticed that email-based responses become more effective once students grasp your thought process. Understanding your thought process requires human engagement.

Does the word "talent" need a new definition in an AI assisted world? For centuries human Artists helped define their culture and at times become the embodiment of that culture for future generations to make a connection. True Talent. Artists expand a communities consciousness by exploring sounds, colour & texture. They gather together in packs to challenge each other and create "movements" & "periods". A wealth of talent. I believe AI has an important role to play in commercial Design and Production. But in a world where a machine can create a song or a painting and the only human effort is with Prompts; I wonder if future generations will feel a magical connection and be inspired in the same way that I experience with Monet, Dali and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. ....and what impact will that have on their own creativity. 🤔

🖥️ Technology has always been evolving. Just like the tractor 🚜, car 🚗, computer 💻, plane ✈️, boat 🚤, sword ⚔️, and books 📚, inventions have brought significant changes. People often feel fear when faced with big changes. However, if you're reading this, understand that you have the power to turn this into a positive rather than a negative. That's the 🔑 opportunity in this new AI-driven reality.
