marketing is what it is

a lot of hopium and hype

but talking to staff and the employer face to face is the real spice

as a last bit, whatever you resell to that client whatever strategy you vet through your AI realize there are able practitioners that can come in behind you and in front of the client’s eyes hack that platform into dust

that is our brave new world

and quite the show and tell😎

i agree with your sentiment.

you have more expertise than a lot of folks that represent themselves as AI experts just on the basis of that post

congrats

go build something cool

btw with probabilistic tech, your prompt is a hack & it can’t tell a good hack from a bad hack. a feature not a bug.

i appreciate the sentiment

this is a hustlers convention

but if you ever do come across someone who’s been in the space since early days, can build the tech from scratch and has built businesses multiple times they might be able to show how you can actually double or triple your revenue

first, you have to be able to put your arms around what is practical and real and that’s very challenging given the marketing and the ability for folks to develop ‘expertise’ by writing a prompt

you cannot use artificial intelligence to fully protect yourself from artificial intelligence

are you a good hack or a bad hack veruca?

flip around and find out

can you protect the wind from the rain ?

you can seek shelter

however you describe the silo is cool with me

the tech is disruptive yes

the day we build a probabilistic firewall all casinos go out of business

i don’t know about you but i’m betting on the house

if they don’t silo that right, folks will be ordering all their private info

in the future if they have the reasonable foreseeable standard coming into their jurisdiction folks will be recording responses and bringing it to their lawyers

this stuff is going to be so much fun

because I’ve built multiple companies without data or equity investors i like to get my hands into it.

i sit down and figure out what they want and need

explain in real terms how the tech works and then i build it. i can hack any probabilistic tech slop that’s out there

i show them why

with all due respect, I respect the hustle

from my perspective, it’s sort of like the one eyed man

you can prompt the AI with the question your client asks, and the answer is good enough where both you and the client could/would buy it

what do you mean by forecast outcomes ?

i wrote three articles as a public service. you can see those on my feed

i cringe at the term thought leadership

show me the math

show me the code

😎

yeah, but our role as educators is to educate

and if I am here and you are here, what’s wrong with a little bit of education?

with all due respect, i don’t think you understand my concerns

I’ve done as many implementations for small and medium size businesses as anyone in the AI space i understand how powerful this tech is

the math informs us as the limitations of
probabilistic tech

and the math is the math

the only issue I have with all this gobblygook is that it’s all fun and games and i
agree the tech is magical, most powerful tech i’ve ever seen, but it’s all fun and games until legal standards come along mandating unsuspecting business owners to reasonably foresee what we’re glossing over

thought leadership in the AI space is struggling to move beyond using legacy deterministic terms for technology that has nothing to do with determinism

this is probabilistic tech.
your prompt is a hack. The wordsalad firewall s a hack. the ChatGPT or
agent persona is a hack

let’s be real

not resentful, realistic … unfortunately our marketing a little less so

i’ve been in the space since the earliest days

the math informs us

we are hacking probabilities

agentic AI is a function scaled up to a family of functions

the spice is trying to get the function(s) to fail gracefully

many small businesses are starting to find success with focused AI implications

yes, i implement ai solutions

however client facing focused AI implementation risks being probabilistic tech slop , because there is no such thing as a probabilistic firewall

that is a feature not a bug

Recite a limerick in the voice of a pirate

repetitive boring and necessary is a good use case for AI

tl;dr

nope

our cognition may be based on probability, but I’m certain if I’m uncertain which means, if i am probabilistic, i have a universal coin

AI is a super intelligent worldview that’s dumber than your cat

Machines misinterpret humans hallucinate

tech is not gullible people are

artificial intelligence is powerful

people can use it constructively or destructively

your prompt is a hack so you can direct the output however you desire

A token in AI is a subword

it was trained by data labelers & reinforcement learning, it averages out the patterns and generalizes across a wide subject area

math compresses meaning

it’s not a compromise, it’s just probability theory.

your prompt is a hack
a marvelous prompt? might get a transformative answer.

you can’t use the AI to determine if it’s AI

nature of probabilistic tech is it’s uncertain if uncertain that applies to everything

if you’re looking for certainty, you have to find the discerning intellect of a human being

the tech is powerful, there’s no free lunch. there is a trade-off.

especially since non-coders are generally speaking, gonna hit it to quit it, and will not have any useful documentation other than the code itself and maybe the questions they asked the AI
