there are times that you know are going to be way more fun to remember than they are to live through. somehow knowing this helps put the tiredness in perspective.
@sama The culture shift is about to get brutal and you are at the epicenter. People will use you as their punching bag… everyone from governments to religions are going to unleash wrath… be ready.
You’re correct, though we must ensure to safeguard Humanity through this pivotal phase of Human History we currently live in. 2023 is an incredibly powerful year bringing change and innovation to many sectors, though it might be turbulent. But with great power comes great responsibility. I have a clear standpoint on AI and its ultimate uses in society. However, this is in a society formed by a Member collective, all sharing Values and believe in one Vision that I believe is the ultimate goal : a self-sustaining city and Society—truly enhancing the experience of life but not on the dose of anybody, as it is genuinely autonomous and generates thousands of Purpose- and Meaningful jobs for Members, but also external firms involved in construction. They leave a legacy. For themselves and future generations. Anyway, why am I saying this ? Because we host a 04-23 WORKSHOP, and I am looking for great people to join as Staff Founding Members. I think you’re a good guy, Sam, though the company is now dependent in many ways. With the development of Remus, the ultimate goal is different, as in : it is only available to Members ( in the beginning, only Staff Members ). I cannot see companies' race for the “best” AI. It’s horrible to watch. Remus's approach is so different, so if you like our concept ( explore the website ) and want to build something ultimately Good and Beneficial for Humanity over generations to come, I invite You to register Your interest in attending the workshop. It is not about a momentary gain, but about ensuring the Longtermism of Humanity. One aspect there is Remus, acting as a reliable blueprint given the company is monetary independent and ensures all Members' safety, comfort, effortlessness, productivity, creativity, and much more. Joining Erich’s Project is not something one does—It is a Life choice. Anyway, also happy to have a talk with you before if you’ve got any questions or hear your stance on AI and the future you describe as being “fun”. Since the Microsoft ethics team dilemma, I wonder how this aligns with the Vision You had for the company when it was founded. Because Elon seems not to see that it aligns anymore. Perhaps we create something together that lasts, and this time not mess it up by involving investors and people. Just internal. All for Members. By Members. We showcase a self-sustaining city with C1-US, which will prove that we can become multi-planetary. And we will use SpaceX technology to make it a reality. And because it is all Members, there are no malicious people. Because that’s very dangerous. Same as a wrong part in AI can make it dangerous. We ensure the safety of all Members. And there will be tens of thousands when we open, of which many are Staff Members. There are renders on the website on the page exploring Phase One. I’m saying all of this, as Erich’s Project is happening no matter what, as during our 05-23 KEYNOTE where I present Phase One and take people on a journey in a livable Utopia we create for Members ( and hopefully if nations adopt some of our systems, then for All ) and showcase how it fits in this world, given it is completely Member backed and not acting in anybody’s interest but the company and Humanity. I give you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create ultimate good and a blueprint. GPT is insanely powerful, but it will run with or without You, so You have got to decide whether it still aligns with Your Vision for it since You founded the company. It is super useful. Together with GPT-3.5 and Midjourney, I created the renders on the website. It formulated the prompts for me. Sadly I reached max message limit of 3 since Nov, and it is a pain to retrain them. So either I integrate the API, continue using it as is, or create Remus. So I go for the two latter. If You’re interested in building something again, leading to an ultimately beneficial outcome, and being guided in the company's vision, I will surely see You there. Erich
@sama mountain climbers call this type 3 fun - Not fun in the moment (like icecream, that's type 1) - Not fun right after (gym, that's type 2) Eventually you remember it fondly and deem it as having been worth it. IMO founder success is often capped by max acceptable type3
@sama Since mental processes and recollections demand less physical effort and energy, they enable a focus on what is truly important, bypassing any unnecessary distractions or complications.
