Artificial Intelligence, AI, Machine Learning, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, ChatGPT, Anthropic, Tech, Coding, AI News, Large Language Models and... (most importantly)... optimism.
AGI rolls around only once. Let's make the best of it.
On this channel, my goal is to help everyone understand AI and it's implications better. To prepare for what's coming next.
The most important rule is "Don't Panic".
The second rule is keep learning.
Thank you for joining me for this ride.

ARE WE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE BREACHES/HACKS?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRzn9...
(me and Dylan talk about the latest AI news, the 'bugapocalypse" and what Musk, Dario and Altman have been up to)
but for today's poll, I'm curious if you think things are going to get a lot more dangerous on the cybersecurity front?
do you expect to see a lot more data breaches, hacking and various vulnerability exploits happening in the near future?

this one is *WAY* too spicy for youtube, but if you want to see where AI video is going, here's something:

this is not super appropriate, just FYI... zombies, bikinis and lots of pew-pew

ANY INTEREST IN ME TALKING ABOUT PEPTIDES?
last time I mentioned trying peptides in a livestream, I was surprised a lot of people were very interested in hearing more
should I post some of the stuff I learn and/or experience here?
(maybe on a separate channel)
I also have a few experts that might be willing to come on and chat with us.
WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?
for people who don't know what these are, basically there are these compounds that act as precise biological signals, telling your cells to heal faster, burn fat, build muscle, or think more clearly. Think of them as unlocking processes your body already knows how to do, just turned up.
you notice how many people are losing massive weight recently?
horrible sports injuries that were healed within months?
peptides (probably)
people are reporting some insane results with them, but also it's a very new field, lots of misinformation, lack of regulation etc.
(it's really hard to find good info)
I'm doing my research/experiments either way... I'm just asking if you want me to take the time and post about :)

CAN THOUGHTS AFFECT REALITY?
https://youtu.be/tUkD0oj92Qg
Me and Dylan dive into Karpathy's AutoResearch, the first ever simulated Fly (The Fly in the Matrix as they call it) and also the lab-grown human neurons that scientists got to play Doom.
One thought popped up during our convo... you ever notice how many different religions, ideas, books, movies etc... share the concept that "thoughts can directly influence reality"?
there are A LOT...
but, what do you think?

___________________________________________________________
some examples of these ideas in past and present cultures:
Hindu Concept of Maya (Illusion) (~1500–500 BCE): The physical world is a "magic show" or veil; waking up means realizing the soul is one with the cosmic consciousness.
Simulation Theory (2003–Present): The proposal that our entire universe is a digital construct or computer program, implying that reality is actually underlying code.
Plato’s Allegory of the Cave (~380 BCE): Humanity is like prisoners watching shadows on a wall, mistaking them for reality until they break their chains to see the true world.
Scott Adams’ "Simulation Hacking" (Early 21st Century): The idea that you can "program" your life by acting as if the simulation is rigged in your favor, forcing the code to adjust.
Hermeticism ("The All is Mind") (~300 BCE–300 CE): The universe exists within the "Mind of God," meaning human minds can influence physical laws through mental mastery.
The Law of Attraction (Late 19th Century–Present): The belief that thoughts act as signals; focusing on a specific outcome "attracts" that reality into your physical life.
Buddhist Yogācāra ("Mind-Only") (~4th Century CE): External objects have no independent existence; reality is a projection of consciousness, similar to a dream.
Reality Shifting / Jumping (2020s): A modern practice of using meditation and "scripting" to move one's consciousness from this reality into a chosen "Desired Reality."
Greco-Egyptian Magical Papyri (~2nd BCE–5th Century CE): Ancient rituals that used focused intention and visualization to "bend" fate and influence physical outcomes.

CAN AI RESEARCH BE DONE BY AI ITSELF?
https://youtu.be/tUkD0oj92Qg
Do you think it's fair to say that AI contributes "by itself", as in it's AUTONOMOUSLY able to add to our understanding of AI and improve AI capabilities.
(for example computers can do a lot of work to help scientists, but no one would say they do so "autonomously")

CAN AI MODELS BE AWARE OF US TESTING THEM?
https://youtu.be/mA8C55NLYzw
(we look at new research about this in my new video)
We run a battery of tests on these LLMs (and other AI models).
Is it possible they are aware that they are being tested?
That they can use different strategies when they think it's all a test?

DID YOU SWITCH FROM OPENAI TO ANTHROPIC?
https://youtu.be/jFIBotuTZT4
A lot of people are doing "QUITGPT" and switching to Claude.
This is due to OpenAI signing a contract with the Pentagon.
Claude is now being downloaded more than ChatGPT on the app stores.
No official numbers yet that show the full picture of how big this is, but *many* are expressing outrage.
Were you part of this? Did you cancel your openai account?

WILL THE PENTAGON CONTINUE USING CLAUDE FOR OPERATIONS?
https://youtu.be/Hzm3D7i3NFk
So it seems that a lot of US agencies are relying on Claude to help them run operations.
Even after the "Ban", Claude is being used in military and intelligence operations.
Do you think there is a chance that the government will work out some deal that allows Claude to continue being used in the US military and other US agencies?

DO YOU AGREE WITH TRUMP BANNING ANTHROPIC?
https://youtu.be/iR_b09xcDjs
in my latest video we cover today's breaking announcement by Trump, that he's blocking Anthropic from working with ALL federal agencies.
Huge news, but I'm curious what you think?
Do you agree that this was a wise decision?
Or do you side with Anthropic?
