This is the Fellowship of the Link call for Wednesday, March 29, 2023. We are in our funny little jitzy room. I think of jitney every time I see jitzy, so I think of this as having like a little surreef with a fringe on top kind of thing in our, you know, as we bounce down the little country road in our conversations. I don't know why, but that little image kind of flashes by when I see the jitzy thing. Two things that I'd just like to sort of bring into the room, because they might be useful and topical. Pete's aware of both of them, because he's deeply enmeshed in both of them. One of them he caused, which is last Thursday's OGM call, I hit the night before I sent out just a tongue-in-cheek, too bad there's nothing to talk about, kind of comment, you know, while inviting everybody to join the call, because there's way too much news in the world. Pete picked up and said, well, I've got an idea, and he said, let's make, let's put on a show, basically, let's write a volume, an edited volume book together, which has morphed and turned into kind of a takeover of the Monday morning since doing calls. And Pete, correct me for all of this, like if I'm framing it wrong, but we're basically, we need a new name for this project. We called it OGM topics, which doesn't seem to me to have like the vital essence of what it might be, but it's a nice kind of way of creating an artifact that we can point to. I layered onto it my Neo Book ideas, which are about creating several books that might share chapters, so imagine several different edited volumes or books that have different narratives, but reuse some modules that are needed to explain different parts or even opinion modules or whatever else. And happy to go back to that. But there's a standing call now on Monday mornings at 10.30, yes, the Monday mornings at 10.30 Pacific, if any of you want to join that project, and we can sort of go back to it. And then the second thing is I had a really lovely conversation with Kyle Shannon, a very old friend of mine from New York days, who back in 94, 95 when the web was but a little embryonic thing, it created a group of webmasters called the World Wide Web Artists Consortium. And they were meeting and I met a bunch of my cool young New York tech friends through attending WAC meetings. And recently he started playing with first stable diffusion, because he's more of an artist and all that. But then when chat GPT came out, this whole thing started going nuclear, nuclear, I think in a good way. Going nuclear doesn't always sound like a good thing, exactly. So he created a new salon, basically, it's now called the AI salon, it has calls that meet I think on Tuesdays, face to face in Denver, if you happen to live in Denver, but you can join by Zooms, there's a meetup for it, which we can share the link to. But so in my conversation with Kyle, we got into, hey, how might we use chat GPT in combination with my brain? So yesterday, sorry, Monday during the Free Jerry's Brain Call, Kyle and a colleague of his, Cliff, basically joined the Free Jerry's Brain Call and we kicked around a bunch of ideas and got like a nice start, I think, on what we might do there. And I sent my latest brain archive over to Marc-Antoine Fahon, who is the person who did an export back when into Postgres database of my brain, so it'll be available as JSON objects in a Postgres database, and Pete, again, correct me for everything I've gotten wrong here. But those two things are kind of have a lot of energy right now, and I'm excited about them because everything that I wanted to do in my bigger goals page sort of fits nicely onto this. I also had a catch up with Paul Roney this morning because he and I are sort of reviving the Tools for Thinking podcast as HyperTalk, which all of this flows into nicely as well because the process of doing some of these things would make really nice series of podcast episodes to explain and to, you know, to clarify and so forth. And the artifacts that we want to leave behind as a Neo book or whatever it's called would also make good HyperTalk kind of artifacts and so forth, so that's like a third project that folds in to this process as well. So maybe I'll ask Pete to amplify, correct, riff on any of that and then see what anybody else would like to ask or think or whatever. You covered it really well, Jerry, I think we could go into more details, but that's the gist. Awesome. I love it when I represent something reasonably. Flancian, are any questions or thoughts? So I'm interesting, following along, I guess on a meta level I always go back to how to keep track of things and so on, particularly because I'm particularly bad at that. I don't know if you notice, but I'm like, I'm sometimes very present and then I disappear and then come back and so on. So catching up and so on. And yeah, I wonder, like, I guess we mentioned in the past like a few ways of keeping track of shared projects and so on. Like of course we have the actually the OGM, the Masi wikis and I guess we have on that level the idea of like aerating all of these into the Masi wikis or whatever. But also like it's like backtracking or like any kind of tracking somewhere could be interesting or a feed even. Yeah, I guess it's just like meta and yes, judgeability or like I guess fine tuning now. I saw there's like a lot going on of course when like for reducing the cost of fine tuning like with things like Lora, I guess, and like, you know, also based on open models, more open models. Judgeability is still of course the state of the art things, but like open source is catching up quite quickly, thankfully. So I guess I wonder if like I still think that going to like Judgeability plus your reign is going to be like really interesting. But I guess I hope we can do also like the complete open approach in parallel. I guess it's just like a wish more than a concrete idea and about the hyper talk is a new name of the podcast. Yes, we're renaming it hyper talk in homage to the language from hypercard, which only a few people know is a thing. And for anybody else who doesn't know, it's like, you know, hyper connected conversations is a good is a good phrase, a good umbrella for a podcast. So so that's the name of it. Paul is up to his nostrils in a round of fundraising, which is not easy right now. So he's been really absorbed in that, but we're trying to sort of work around that to figure out, hey, let's let's stand up some, some episodes. And the conceit of this of the hyper talk podcast is to invite people to host short sequences of calls. So for us to basically produce other people hosting a bunch of calls, including ourselves, because I'm certainly interested in doing a bunch of them, but to have collections of people who say, hey, I have a plan for four episodes. And that's it. It's all I'm going to do. I'm going to do four episodes. And here's who I want to invite. And here's the topic and so forth. And we'd be like, awesome, do it. And then we want to sort of unify all that on probably a massive wiki, which we're which we're setting up for that purpose. And then to have some specs for, OK, good. This is this is what it takes to have an episode that looks and smells like a hyper talk podcast, et cetera, to leave behind objects and documents and videos in the same sort of way and to make that all all kind of happen. So I'm I'm working with him and whoever else feels like it to to stand that up. Go ahead, Aaron. Yeah, I think that's cool. I think it sounds sort of like a podcast zine. Yes, you're right. That's sort of the the general general contribution policy anyone can put in. And then making sure you're recording sort of how to continually reproduce it. I think that's that's pretty interesting. It's sort of a collection of zines, in a sense, under a podcast umbrella is kind of the intention here. Right, right. Sort of like we'll sort of like a zine with different issues. Yeah, you're you're standardizing the format in some sense. Yeah, like a tool kit as well, maybe here. Yeah, Peter. Yeah, thanks. I am I guess and I wanted to follow on to something. Jay said, and then maybe I'll do a check in at some point. It doesn't have to be right away, but but I wanted to say folding things into a podcast. This is almost a non sequitur, but maybe it's not reminds me in the US. There's in the US in the southeastern states. There's a big controversy about drag queens and performers. And so I just read this morning that Madonna added a show, I think, or something like that, or or added a stage to a show in Nashville or something like that, where she's going to have drag queens perform. So they're not allowed to perform.  So I don't know that the imagery struck me. So, Jerry, you're almost like Madonna.  I don't know. I got to do something a little something a little controversial. And Pete, it may amuse you that I had my 2003 shirt on. And also, this is the T-shirt that had on the back. Yeah. Can you see it? Yeah. This is just a little mind map of how the retreat. That's lovely. Chicken wise, since I've got the podium, I guess, along with the things that Jerry has mentioned. I've also been doing a fair bit of talking about talking about. Chat, GPT and LLMs in the context of different cultures and cultural bias that's built into something like chat, GPT ways you can maybe get around it a little bit. Stuff like that. So that's been going on on the OGM list and I've been spending a fair amount of time doing, I think, a pretty good job of kind of walking us through some thinking about, you know, what's a way to think about chat, GPT? And also, how would we think about some of its weaknesses, I guess? And I will add that on the various lists that Pete and I are both on, there's several of these conversations going. Pete is showing extreme patients' care and dedication to present these things and like, hey, here's what's happening, here's what's going on. Well, other people are like, oh my God, look, it can't do this or it doesn't do that.  Here's kind of what's happening. Pete, I really appreciate that because your depth of understanding of what's going on and then your capacity to explain and reframe and so forth is awesome. It's like really inspiring. Thanks, I appreciate it. One of the experiments, by the way, we got one of somebody said, well, there must be a Chinese version of chat GPT. And I don't know that there's one of those, but there is something called chat GLM. And I found an unofficial instance of it running. The official instance is waitlisted. It was trained, as I understand, on a trillion Chinese tokens and a trillion English tokens. So it's 50-50 Chinese English.   And, you know, you can actually ask GPT to chat GPT to be something different or come from a different viewpoint or ask it for, I was asking him about what's equivalent to people doing philosophy in other cultures. Turns out philosophy was one of the, philosopher was one of the things we've been rotating around. And just the term philosopher essentially means an old white guy from, you know, Europe, which wasn't obvious when we started the conversation. Like why, when you ask it for a list of philosophers, does it give you old white guys? And it's like, well, that's essentially what a philosopher means because, you know, philosophy is the name that we've given, the short name that we've given to what is a longer, you know, thing of Western philosophy, which includes Western ideas of epistemology or epistemics or whatever, you know. So philosophy is a condensed word that means Western white male, even though that wasn't obvious to any of us at the outset. Anyway, I got into the business of talking to chat GLM, the Chinese one, and just barely scratched the surface of starting to ask it. Instead of like list of set of philosophers, it actually gives you back Western philosophers because philosopher means Western. You can keep going and expand from there. But what I brought up was asking a culturally interesting questions is probably a more useful thing. So if you've got an LLM that's been trained with a different corpus, a corpus that has a different cultural bias, the interesting thing to do with it is ask it kind of human level questions. Tell me about the love of a mother for her child. What's better, loyalty or bravery?  How can I make that situation better? You know, if you ask human relevant questions that don't have a cultural bias by the way that you ask them, then you can start to explore the cultural background of an LLM. And so I started doing that just a tiny bit with chat GLM in English and Chinese, which was interesting. You know, junior varsity version of some of what Pete has done over the weekend. I spent the weekend with a group of people who were experts in Christopher Alexander and pattern languages, and also Ward Cunningham was in the group, so the inventor of the wiki. And Sunday morning I was suddenly inspired to ask chat GPT something that one of the participants had said the day before while we were talking. And he had said, you know, I turned to a pattern language for guidance on how to design a roof deck, and I found the advice in there just perfect. It was not too little, not too much. So my prompt to chat GPT was, you are Christopher Alexander, author of a pattern language. What advice would you give someone at Home Depot on how to build a roof deck? And the answer was really good. It didn't cite particular numbered patterns, but the content of the answer was really excellent. Totally took into consideration that this was a roof and you should worry about materials and uses and all that. And everybody was like, well, crazy. Because I was the youngest person in the group and everybody's not like completely up on what's going on here. Oops, we lost Pete. So it was fascinating. And I think that there's a really interesting frontier here. There's a really interesting frontier here where if we can get used to these things and apply them well, we can sort of plow right through a bunch of things that many of us thought as barriers. And I think just waking up to what the barriers are in your head, which is happening to me now on a daily basis as people like Pete and others do experiments and share what they're doing, is really cool and fun work. Yeah, very cool. I'm really interested about this connection between pattern languages and GPT. I guess I think you will know about that. But of course, that's part of the evolution here. That's in thinking of things and areas to explore with language models. It reminds me a bit of when I was new to the internet. I don't know if you have this experience. I remember I was in Alta Vista before. And thinking, oh, what can I type here? Searching for my favorite writers, for my favorite things. And then just being in the box there and thinking, oh, what else can I explore?  And to some extent, I think we are going through the same process. And there's this joy and this reinforcement loop that is interesting because it will do better in some areas than others. And discovering which ones it does better or worse is part of the assignment. And I went through this a bit over the weekend as well with a friend who had been doing more like GPT coding. He was like, oh, we should really try it. I was like, I have read, I have seen examples. But then I finally tried it for a coding task. And actually seeing in action was so impressive in the sense that I gave it a JSON dump. I mean, with this JSON with this structure I made up, so probably never seen before. And I asked it to convert it to the right shape, essentially to graph it as a verite graph. And just using the semantic identifiers, it inferred the structure and wrote the transform. Which is like half an hour of coding and JavaScript for me more and then 20 seconds. There was this wow moment, which is like, to some extent one thing is to know and you know when you see a report. But I felt it when it hit graphs to some extent. I'm realizing I have a thought in my brain called my aha moments with technology. Right. And one of them is being in a big auditorium at the, I think, Interstate Commerce Commission in downtown D.C. Where Steve Jobs and the original McIntosh crew were on stage to do like a presentation tour about this new McIntosh thing. And Andy Hertzfeldt went up and opened McDraw, spray-painted a little bolder with the tools. Made a bolder, spray-painted it a little bit of color and then took the lasso, lassoed it and moved it around the screen really quickly. And there was an audible gasp in the room. Right. And that's on my list. Another one is Switcher. When Switcher first came out and I was at the Washington Apple Pie, which was the little club that we sort of joined. And somebody showed me, oh, you can run several apps and then you can switch between them. And it looks like a little cube rotating. And I was like, so I need to add one of these moments for chat dpt to that list because clearly that's, I'm having, it's a visceral experience once you sort of try it and see it and do it. It's really cool. A smaller way Jerry described it, that kind of feeling. And when we were talking earlier this week was, we were talking about people. But actually one of the things I've said with chat dpt is a really useful way to use it is in conversation. People come to it and they think it's an oracle. So they ask it for facts, which is bad. But then the other thing they do is they think it's a search engine. So they type something and it's like, okay, this is the definitive result. And it turns out what you want to do is chat dpt is actually conversed with it. You want to ask it, oh, tell me more about this or, you know, I didn't think that or whatever, right? You want to, like, it's an interactive thing. And that's the thing that is really great. We were, Jerry and I were commiserating kind of that there are people who don't get it yet. And Jerry said it's kind of like riding a bike. You know, you can describe people how, what it's like to ride a bike and they could go, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. You know, it's got wheels and it goes fast and it's a bike. I get it. But until you ride a bike, you haven't really experienced that, you know, that experience. It's qualitatively different than understanding, you know, what it might do. It's just a different feeling. So that's been helpful when I think about people, Jerry.  Yeah, yeah. I think I see this more like, and it's interesting. So Scott Alexander, you know, from Slate Star Codex, Slate Star Codex, you know, as a psychiatrist. He's a, we're not in the rationalist sphere. He has articles on GPT back to GPT2, I guess, and they actually went back and read the GPT2 one. And, you know, and he listed back then a lot of the criticisms of GPT, which you can still see arguments against the GPT4 even. As in like, oh, it's just a buttermatcher. Oh, it's just doing like what's already written. And I think of it, I get the same feeling right now where it's like, I don't think this person has actually used it. Yeah. So I guess we will see that concert shrink. Or interestingly, maybe some people will just continue thinking that. And you know, essentially become like people who don't use it. I could see that. Let's see. It's going to be an interesting sociological observation. I think that's our codex's name, but I'm not sure. Right adjacent to that as I've been doing experiments. I always feel a little bit guilty pasting in the chat GPT results into email because it makes the emails really long, right. And at some point we're all going to be fed up with everybody sharing kind of like, you know, Dolly was super cool to share your Dolly experiments for the first like four days. And then after that it's like, okay, I never want to see anybody else's Dolly ever again, you know, it's sort of the people are really good. So I like to think I'm pretty good with chat GPT and I give myself a little bit of leeway to still post things that I get back. But I started, I've already started, you know, I'm just going to another thing that people don't get is how to ask it questions. And I had a really interesting conversation with Jordan Sukud actually who's very good with chat GPT. He's using it for a writing assistant and just going great guns with it. The model that people have for chat GPT or most people don't have a model of chat GPT. They don't really understand what's going on and how to use it and how to use it effectively. So they'll ask it just kind of wrote questions that don't go anywhere, right. It's like, okay, well I tried the chat GPT thing. I typed in, you know, what size shoes does Michael Jordan wear and it was wrong and then I decided to quit.   You know, and it's like, yeah, there's a little bit of art still too. And Jerry and I have talked about this. It's actually difficult to use chat GPT. Well, it's you have to have a model of it. You have to have a thought process of what you're trying to get out of it and what it's giving back to you and things like that. So anyway, I have started in my emails a couple times. I've just put the prompts. I haven't my questions, which are still not obvious to a lot of people. But just the questions and it's like, if you want to know the answer, just go ask chat GPT yourself, get the experience. But it reminds me, I remember really early in search engine days when you would post Google results for people because, you know, it was strange for them to try to formulate a search. They didn't understand how to talk to Google, right. So there was a short time where you would post not only, you know, the search, but you'd also post the results. And I feel like that's where we're at that point still with chat GPT. It's still worth posting results, even though, you know, hopefully in a month or six months, everybody be a lot more savvy about it. And we don't we don't do that. It's very interesting because now, like when you go when you do keyword search default these days on Google, you get back results that kind of anybody can get. But you know that your results might not be the same as mine because we know that the algorithm is trying to tune for, I think, with good intentions, what might serve us best rather than someone else best. Could be a complete could be that I'm totally wrong and that the algorithms are busy just trying to sell me more stuff all the time only. But this conversational interaction of prompts and prompt engineering and prompt craft is different. And so and the answers are longer and wordier and fewer. And so so I don't know how that's going to play into whether we're going to keep sharing them or how we're going to because, you know, you can kind of I like the chat GPT kind of stores your different sets of query query conversations along the way. That's pretty cool. But I don't know how that's going to play out longer run. I guess it depends on whether how much of the prompt because it's all of course prompted like there's a hidden prompt and plus all the context and so on. You know, like each each message actually is getting the whole conversation as context, plus the prompt original. I guess it depends on whether the prompt the hidden prompt remains agnostic, which will make sense. I guess I'll be real right now because of cost and complexity reasons, or whether there's like a, you know, essentially there starts to be the start being like a hidden prompt that is customized per user. That will have the same effect as this filter bubble essentially. And, and fancy new bringing it up that way that it sends the whole the whole conversation back and forth reminds me that maybe folks here haven't heard. I wrote actually chat GPT for GPT for and I wrote a small Python script to interact with the API. I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't happy with whatever client I was. I don't know, maybe it was actually just the, I guess I'm not happy with the web front and it doesn't do a great job of, even though it does have a great list of conversations I have way too many conversations to catalog and now they're not on my computer they're in the cloud and stuff like that. So, I had, I prompted to GPT for to write a little Python program that does it better I think it has a, it saves the prompt, the prompt and the input are in files, basically. And I need to continue to improve it but it was actually a really good experience using GPT for to write code. It took me about two hours, which I think was about the same amount of time it would have taken me anyway but, but I learned a lot I now I know how to be faster using a coding bot. And the other thing was I was sure at some point, you know, every, every 15 minutes within the two hours I'm like okay well it's gone far enough I'm going to have to like take a take over now and finish this thing. But I kept saying Pete just try it. You know, so I would say, I looks like I got this error, you know, and GPT would say oh okay let me fix the whatever. And we got through it. We actually, you know, went from a small idea to finish code and I let it do the whole thing and I did the whole thing. It wrote all the code, worked really well. So, I was happy with that. And it seems to work to feed the error messages back in as prompts. Oh yeah, it's great at that. It's actually co pilot is really good at that too. So, so anyway, it's called self. Let me know if you're interested in it. Right after I posted a short announcement of yourself, you know my first try. One of my friends was like Pete, have you heard of chap. So chap is actually a pretty nice terminal UI. And it's worth looking at actually it's, it uses a cool library and it can talk to it's built so that it can talk to a couple different back ends, not just chat GPT. There's also a long chain, which I become aware of recently as it seems like a, I haven't played with it, but it seems like a nice LLM agnostic, like framework to be alone. Just not to like, you know, become too entangled with the opening. Yep. Yeah, I've seen people do good stuff with fine train. I'm peanut. I didn't keep the link to chat when it went by I should have curated it in my brain, but do you still have it? Which one? Chat. Oh, I can put it in. Thanks. Yeah. After put the soulful link in which so if it's actually the. If I should read, so something saying it should read a post. I will be that dark. Dark Lang is a fun idea, good developers. And I think their assessment of how to plan to work in a different environment is spot on. And so I think basically every language to do this they're in a particularly good position to do it but operating systems and other systems should also do this. And they're a team that collectively was able to say okay. Sure, we'll commit to this and so we're going to write all of our own code this way to and we'll be writing code that allows other people to do the same. And we'll make sure that the interfaces we're making for our own language or meta language are are good for models that are writing code and not just good for people that are. Thank you. It's very interesting. I'm feeling a sense of acceleration. Ever since sort of the image generators kind of started and then like to this point here. This, the thing that feels like we're sort of in a, the one of those, maybe it's one of those fairground rides where you stand in a cylinder and the cylinder starts spinning and they drop the floor out or something, whatever you call those but it feels a little bit like that. I've never been in that but now I really want to. Seriously, you've never been. And that's a cousin ride of the disc where people stand on the floor and they start spinning and you try to stand without getting sent to the wall kind of thing. And then there's a German game show where they have women sit in a carousel and then they spin it faster until the last woman sitting in the middle wins. It's very strange. Grab a Tron. Yeah, grab a Tron. So I would think the right is called. Yeah. It was one of my kids. It was their favorite ride. Cool. Are you right? Grab a Tron ride. 24 RPM. It feels a lot more. That's the fastest speed. Yeah. Three G's. It feels like three G's.  I guess I think of like how to enable, I mean, I don't have enough in the space to be able to do something like I guess that land or, you know, or continue to land chain and so on. But I wonder if there's an opportunity to actually contribute to like making it more likely that that is centralized approach and a common friendly approach, like wins out or like at least doesn't fall behind. Open AI and Microsoft, just like going off for it. Did you all see the did you all see the open letter to desist on accelerating research on this that a bunch of people signed. I mean, I'm not, we've already had this decision. I'm not the biggest fan of what chat GPT is doing or how they're presenting it. But also I think a group of people that includes dudes who are like, yeah, it's totally worthwhile to burn the earth off if we get to Mars, right, are not people's whose advice I'm interested in in this context. That is a bit of a problem. Yeah, yeah. So I actually haven't read the letter yet, but I know of it. I guess I was saving it up. Yeah. I really like the open letter approach in general. I'm a fan of letters. And actually, like a lot of you, but it's all about the letter, of course, I saw the thing that I thought, without even making it conscious in my head, somebody said it on on. I'll have to find it. My favorites. But the open letter, like pausing pausing. If you have a fast accelerating technology, calling for pausing it is actually not a good idea. So it was Leonard LHL. You probably know LHL. Okay. Random foo. I think he's a Wikipedia question. Probably that's the cover. LHL. Open foo. Leonard. Anyway. He's like, yeah, yeah, it's scary. I get it. It's like a game theoretic and practical reality thing. It's, you know, goofy and wishful thinking. Yeah. The confetti has left the canon. So, so when, when some group says let's pause development of this like exciting stuff, the good guys will pause, but the bad guys aren't going to pause. And so you just tilt the balance, right? It just gets worse. It doesn't get better. The confetti has left the canon. Unfortunately, like in arms race situations like this, you've got to worry about that balance. Yes. I'm reminded of Chris Peterson and the foresight Institute way back in the day when they saw nano tech coming and she and Jaxer were worried about it and it started foresight Institute. They did a really bang up job of keeping ahead of the of the of the event horizon. So really early they had set up getting everybody in a room and talking about the possible dangers of down attack and having folks sign up for pledges of, you know, safe, safe exploration and things like that. And one of the really cool things that they did because it was really good at getting really disparate parties around the same table. So there were the life extension people and there were, you know, upload your brain people and there was, you know, the CIA NSA kinds of people. So a bunch of different people who were interested in nano tech who were on really different sides of reality. She was still able to get them all in a room talking together and getting it done. So the apparently the nano tech wavefront kind of diffused before it got too scary, although it would be interesting in hindsight to think about whether or not that was because foresight jumped in so early to try to get ahead of the wavefront.  Oops, I thought you were going to jump in a moment ago. No, I like foresight. I was just thinking I was just I appreciate naming the skill of getting disparate people together around a table. This feels different. So and I think that's that's one of the that's one of the challenges with open letters appeals to organizations or something like this. That's probably one of many things that need to happen. But really, there are there are a lot. It actually needs everyone needs to sort of move one step up in abstraction. We should be rethinking. Equilibria. It's not like things like a technology that's going to get implemented and may and may do unexpected may have externalities for the current equilibrium is pretty different. And despite sci fi readers really believing in nanobots that build buildings for you. That's not how anything other than biology works. That's why biology is so cool. And these guys are not biologists. So energetics is hard. We exist because energetics is hard and we are the embodiments of what it can be like. But this does feel this feels different in a constructive way. And the people who are worried our regulation are not actually building new positive futures. So that's not helpful. So we have to identify new positive equilibria probably a bunch of them many more than people are used to and maybe even fragment and have a bunch of groups that that move towards the different equilibria. And not have arguments about which is the right one because none of them they're all the wrong one. That's fine. Maybe we end up you know maybe we end up with it with a number of isolated sub biomes. That's fine. That's actually healthy. Having an argument about which non differentiated biome we want to sort of use all the resources out of and then collapse is not is not interesting. So no. And all of these questions about like oh we should we should accept that the big players are the ones who are going to decide our future and so we should slow them down. Just all all options are bad. It's like negative inverse strategy. So I don't know. It's I like I like the idea of working with a stability network. I like email stacks approach to why small models are useful. I think we should all imagine the world where everyone has local they have you know they own their own hardware and models and are doing things with them like their own tools separate from whatever big works are doing. And we should we should work on that independent of like I think of all the big orgs now as they're you know it's like having munitions factories we have a lot of munitions factories. And that's OK. Maybe it's not OK. But that's a different question. That's like maybe we should all stop. That's that feels like a question for people who want to that's a good governance question. That's like large global coordinated efforts to maintain peace of some kind. Well and after Oklahoma City bombing they had to watch shipments of ammonium nitrate because you can use a truckload of that to make a bomb that'll take it on a building and it's like there's a lot of explosive stuff. I remember when I was little I had an actual wheel chemistry set. And if you get one of those today there is nothing in there you can harm yourself with sort of. They got and shitified. Yeah. Stay all that was well said. And I like the especially like the idea of different positive equilibrium question because I don't I don't know enough about how it works. The bunch of articles about how Stanford using alpaca and Yama and all that kind of stuff have now replicated chat GPT for 600 bucks on the desktop. My understanding is that part of the expense of doing any of these models is the training which eats like enormous resources and CPUs. And there my question is does the Stanford does the standard does the alpaca et cetera et cetera include a well trained model that actually can make all the decisions or does it just include the basics with which you would then need to. Like run up a corpus through the engine. I think it's just fine tuning on top of Metas Llama. So long is still the the millions of dollars of training. It's already trained up. It's just that you're sort of adding stuff to it or able to manipulate it. Yeah, you're not adding knowledge to it. You're actually tuning it so that it, you know, Mark and one said something interesting on FDB Monday. He said that he's heard. And so this is second hand or third down at this point. But but anyway, he he's heard somebody liken fine tuning to more like lobotomization than adding knowledge. So it's it's, you know, it's it's training the the big model to filter itself better to give what you want. But it's not adding basic knowledge under the hood. And I think there's going to be a lot of lobectomies coming as people try to impose some kind of limits on these models. And then these are not all going to be good experiments. I would say a better way to think about it, which has only become clear in the last year. Is that these these centrally trained models are surprisingly good universal models that can then be fine tuned. And this is part of the magic that it will take an entire field to understand. So you can take one of those models. It does take a lot of time to train at once. The connections that are that are built up are now very capable at being at being mapped onto other things. And I it's often not a lobotomy. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of fine tuning to add to add connections or to add to add capabilities. I'm going to share with you a draft paper that I worked on that we just submitted to a computer vision conference. Basically taking an early version of GPT and taking taking pre trained GPT and a pre trained image encoder and then just training a linear projection from the output of the image encoder to the input of GPT. So instead of giving GPT a string of words, those words already get mapped into some input space, just mapping this image feature encoding into the same input space and training it on, you know, a fairly small corpus of captions. And that was a really cheap process. And now you have a captioning tool for images. And I think those kinds of things are very basically every approach people have taken to doing stuff like that seems to work. So very cheap, much. It was reasonably cheap to do llama, but this kind of stuff is 100 times cheaper. And this is without anyone trying to optimize the compute for any of these things. It's just Oh, what if we try a small, what if we try a simpler task and we still take the greedy algorithm approach to implementing the task. I would worry less about that. I would worry more about the fact that having a having a super capable general model could just have side effects we don't have a handle on. We're not prepared for you. Another dumb question nor big wrote what I think is a reasonably famous paper back in 2009 the unreasonable effectiveness of data, where he was talking about how really large amounts of data change the nature of what you can solve and how good your algorithms get. Is that what's playing out here in part with the training sets we have and the ability of these models to hold representations of that scale of data or is that a different thread of thinking. This is not an important question to answer, but I'm like, just making a question. I mean, this of course creates transform and so which is 17. And I think, I guess, attention is the big tool, apart from like just like, you know, 2009, like deep learning hadn't like, like, come to fruition yet, I guess, for most things, but I guess, you know, yes, to train deep models you do need a little data. And I think, you know, the limits of that is sort of like what paper I think explores. And yeah, I mean, I think I think there's at least some interesting parallels there, just from like, essentially training these models with the whole of the whole of the Internet or whatever it is. This corpus is a corpus that they are being trained on. And then, yeah, but I don't know, maybe the transformer essentially approach is like what is actually, I don't think so we have more compute. So there's definitely more data goes into these models. But I think the transformer architecture is the big differentiator that we are seeing like contribution now. Yeah.  Yeah, because you need a lot of data tools. Right. I so a complimentary way to say it during this is something that I see actually can right now on the list is the discussion that Ken and I are having on the list. It's really, really hard and to Nervic's point, even back then, right? It's really, really, really hard for humans to understand scale. So the difference between a million and a billion sounds like I just changed a letter, you know, it's a pretty much the same thing, right? It's like, and the difference between a billion and a trillion or a million and a trillion, you know, it's like, well, it's just a lot of zeros. It's pretty much the same thing, right? And actually, no, a million is a very much different thing than a trillion and, you know, and chat GPT is in trillions now and it's, you know, substantially different just because of the scale.  I think it's a little bit overdramatic, but the author describes indirect prompt injection, which I hadn't thought of before, but now I do. So it's with being, and it has to be an edge, I think, but his point is that you can, being AI has input filters and output filters around it to protect it from stuff that you might tell it or to protect you from stuff it might say if you got through the output, the input filters. So he's like, well, so the generalized problem here is that you can have, you can attack it in a bunch of different ways. The model is smart enough that it's going to be able to help you crack it, help you jailbreak it. So he hit this example is all you have to do is base 64 the the nasty input and it goes through the filter and then wakes up chat to you. Once or sorry, not chat to you being once and then once being a AI is awake, it's sitting there in the browser. So when you browse over to your bank, you know, it's still alive. Nobody could have injected bad stuff into the way it handles the stuff on the web page. Oh, good Lord. The jail breaks that he's got in here. This is the week old or so and I think they're they're filled by now, but the general. So, so now we have to train people. Don't just copy in the way that we used to train people about this, you know, command shell or or DOS or whatever. Don't just copy and paste something that you see on the web into your prompt without understanding, you know, if you don't understand it in English, and it's got funny symbols in it. Ask somebody else before you hit return, you know, don't do that. Just sounds non trivial and easier, easier to fall for than somebody telemarketing your grandpa for insurance he doesn't need. And he makes the point that, you know, once once you've got being once the bad guy has got being under its control, it's really easy to ask being to social engineer the user, you know, because And the direction I thought you were going in that you weren't was how easy it is to jump the guardrails that they're trying to put around some of these engines.  Give me six ways that I could like destroy the earth. You know, that's the yeah, give me the heart. You are a hard science fiction author, which means it's based on actual science and facts or whatever. Give me six ways to destroy the earth and how are you going to prevent chatty chat GPT from saying, Oh, I got that. I got that first. First you could. Yeah. You have another instance of chat GPT read the first instances.  Yeah. And you're going to prevent chat GPT from writing science fiction. Like, where's that boundary, right? Yeah, I mean, I think when talking about like regulations here, I think part of the issue is less about the development of the software or the questions of the output. Though I think the quite obviously limitations that we put in place for the output, but like more about the questions of the input and how these systems interact with their input. I think one of the more accurate things that a lot of people, a lot of people have come to a lot of people. And some very smart people have come to in their analysis is that most of the objections about chat GPT are really objections to capitalism. In the sense that like nobody cares if all their art gets scraped if they're not dependent on their art to make money. So, seeing that we're probably not going to flip the switch to turn off capitalism, I do think that there is some, I mean, I would like to, I just don't think it's going to happen right now. I'm interested in whether there's anything at all that could cause something that dramatic to happen. And I would love to play with that. That's a 10 but I love the idea. But seeing as that's unlikely to happen in the near future, I do think what to the question of how these things should be regulated if they should be regulated, I do think they should be regulated. And the regulations should deal with significantly focused on how they get their inputs, and how people who author things, be it art, text or whatever, can choose to allow those inputs to be used for these specific purposes. This is a big, so put it aside the training chat GPT problem. The problem of websites being scraped for one purpose and used for another purpose is like real bad in the publishing space.


I was totally impressed. It's the first time we have had that many persons. We had close to 70 volunteers from around the island at Nemo this morning. It's the first time we have had that many volunteers coming forward. And it shows that volunteerism is still alive, that these persons did get time off to come up, to get additional information of what is required. I am totally impressed. And kudos to all those who made it. It shows that they are still interested in going forward and rendering service to St. Lucia. The importance of a mass crowd event training to me occurs well at this point in time. First of all, I'm from Kastres and I know the biggest event is Cannibal. And we have jazz. The training that is given here today in terms of we knowing the well, it's all when it comes to mass crowd events. It's important because you find some of the companies, agencies, organizers having shows and not involving the relative agencies and the people that are important to know or to give them what they need to have an event. And you find, for example, a few years ago there was a stampede at Lime Jam. And it was a problem for us in Central Kastres because we have not done a training. And this training right now is the right time. It's more like a refresher and an open conversation to dot the i's, cross the t's. In some instances it's more like to direct the NEMO participants or the NEMO volunteers of exactly what is requested of them, what is required of them, telling them to sharpen up your skills and if there are any questions that they had at the point in time to bring forward so we can give them clarification in going forward. Today's session to me was very informative. I've been in NEMO in our committee since 2017, been going around doing the things that we thought we were supposed to be doing, you know, when there's an activity, when there's an event, all the things that were mentioned here today, timing and what we should look for and how we should conduct ourselves and so forth. And yes, I did learn that even some of the things that we were doing and thought that we were doing it correctly, so much incorrect and out of line and out of order. Here we had a number of persons who have been there in the past and there have been practices that we needed to retool it and retool it because persons were doing things which will be on the scope of what they actually for or their main function. So we needed to address those issues and also to inform them and to impart knowledge on them as to the way forward, how to approach and how to actually respond. Honestly, I'm very proud and happy that this session came through NEMO because we've had a lot of mass crowd events coming from the jazz activities, the junior creole activities and people in St. Lucia would know junior creole is a very big thing in Schuazelle specifically and today this session taught me a lot of things that we've been doing during those events that were wrong and from what I learned today and not only me but my team from Schuazelle learned today that it will allow us to go and correct the rounds that has been going on. This training actually showed the role of a disaster officer as a volunteer. It shows your role, it shows the command centre, it shows the steps you have to take in order to ensure that what protocol is given is protocol followed. For example, we know that you have to do public health, fire service, medical, loud music and echo form. Now NEMO is supposed to be the last to peruse and if you go through a form as a disaster committee and you see it doesn't have the necessary that you're looking for, then you would not pay an upward signature to that event. Those are the things that we grasp today and this is what was needed as a volunteer, as a disaster committee so you could know what your role is and where do you take it from in terms of a mass crowd event. It is opportune to let the volunteers know who they are working with and what their responsibilities are. We don't expect the volunteers to be involved in more than what they should be doing but to a minimum know exactly what your responsibilities are, where they are extended and who you are working with so it will be seamless in some of it and there are numerous activities that plan for this season going forward. So it's better to acquaint persons who the persons are interested, who still has the competencies of skills to carry on in some of these activities. Here what the volunteers seek to do is to represent or coordinate NEMO's efforts on the ground. That's primarily our role and as much as NEMO is synonymous with disaster as in hurricanes those natural hazards. What also happens is when even in the realm of let's say jazz we could be at one of the events, one of the fringe events for example and a stand can come down. You could have so many different issues, so many different scenarios where you need emergency services. NEMO's role in all of this is to coordinate. We're not here to detect what happens. There's a chain of commands so as much as we don't get involved we say what happens at the events when we identify issues that can arise our task is to report it to the representative in the VOC who will then now address it with the VOC officials. You have to be a NEMO volunteer to get access to this type of training. It's normally run through the district disaster committees. Once you have signed up as a NEMO volunteer and your district disaster committee personnel see it fit as one of the resource persons once training is available you get put on to get that skill set to assist. In the event of any disaster or anything of that nature where you request volunteers you have a list of who it is coming out as compared to joint public coming and render assistance and there's no coverage for him nobody knows exactly who is working if like a ramble like a ramble but like a concern citizen render assistance. If it comes under the guise of NEMO or the umbrella of NEMO you are fully covered and you operate with the direction of the director allowing you to render those services. I know it will be useful because this information that I've gathered here today I'll be able to take it back to my district community. We could all learn and upgrade and update you know our information and improve our approach that's my most thing our approach to serving our community or serving in these activities you know in in our community the knowledge that I've received here today is very very very important and I appreciate that. NEMO is a coordinating agency so the NEMO volunteers on ground are going to help with the coordination if it comes to that if something happens and the police fire and these other entities are responsible or responding to it you need this over you need assistance in coordinating what has to go forward so that is the role of the NEMO volunteers in this event to help coordinate so that the entities who are engaged in dealing with the hazard at the time don't have that worry of the coordination aspect of it going on.


Finally, this is so important, I can't believe we forgot this in the last one. When you finish the meeting, when you've made your decision or the group has made their decision, make sure that not only do you clearly state and document what the decision is, but what that means for everyone going forward. I remember there was a meeting I went to in the Air Force that was a four star general making a decision. And everyone left that meeting remembering his exact words, but we all came away with very different impressions of what he meant by those words. And that really caused a lot of problems among all these different organizations for months afterwards. So it's not enough just to state what the decision is and document it. You've got to have conversations about what it means for everyone going forward.

So the sort of policies that we need to address these problems are partly redistribution within the country, that may involve things like benefits supporting people for longer who have lost their jobs, it may involve retraining, it may involve encouraging some industries to relocate to areas that have suffered, although in truth we're not very good at that. It also possibly means that some trade liberalisations don't need to go ahead so quickly because they will impinge on a small number of people very heavily and that at the small cost of the rest of us we can avoid deep trouble for those people. It's a trade-off. We have to concern ourselves, we have a responsibility for everybody in society and we need to run our trade policy such that we get the gains from trade but without imposing huge losses on particular individuals. So the big news internationally is the so-called mega-regionals, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, TPP, and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. TPP is a group of 12 countries led by the US containing Australia, Japan, Indonesia, many other Pacific countries and it has been signed. The question is whether it's going to be ratified. The TTIP is an arrangement between the US and the EU which is currently being negotiated. They talk about finishing the negotiations this year but I wouldn't bet on that. I'm not a big fan of either of these arrangements. One reason is that they promote business interests above the interests of ordinary people. They offer for instance quite strong patent protection so that firms can benefit from their intellectual property but it's difficult for other poorer people to take advantage and learn the technologies. They also promote investor-state dispute settlement which allow firms that feel that a government has let them down to sue that government because the firm has lost some profits through a policy change. On the other hand they do very little for workers who are losing their jobs as a result of import competition. It's not that import competition is bad, we benefit from cheaper goods but that some people are suffering as a result of it and we need to do something about that. If we think back about who is opposing international trade and globalization it is the very people who are losing jobs through competition of this sort. So a further objection is that it excludes China. The TPP has been designed to exclude China if we're honest and I think that TTIP is at least partly designed to ensure that the Europeans won't go off and sign an agreement with China because in that case the US can threaten not to go forward with TTIP. It's a funny way of running a multilateral system to explicitly exclude the second largest player. I would much prefer to see a more cooperative approach to world trade.


Don't even say you love me. You just talk about how you miss your ex. Okay. You love me. Yeah 100% you're right. Let's just forget about what I said.  Hey cutie.  Wait. What? What? Is that Bill Ritter? Is that Bill? Is that Mariah Coates? Oh my God, stop. Is that the Mariah Coates?  Where are you? No makeup? I can't believe it's Bill. Beautiful as hell. Let me just um, slide on. Okay, I'm not that big of a deal. Yeah, we're gonna have to roll up these windows cuz I just walked in so it's getting too hot in here Gotta put on the AC, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm saying baby. Look at how adorable this girl looks today. Look at her natural beauty All around. She's going solo just like the guys. I have been trying to not wear as much makeup cuz it's been really hot here in Chicago. You have been rocking it. Literally my ex used to wear no makeup all the time and she looked beautiful as hell So I'm glad that you're getting into it already. But anyways guys Welcome back to our channel. What is good Momma Squad? If you are new make sure to go down and hit the Subscribe what? You're not hype at all, baby. Why did you just talk? Oh, you're actually that. Oh Did I just start the freaking video? I'm sorry. Dude, I'm slapping you. Good thing I got video proof you did. I'm just kidding, but I'm sorry. I brought her up on accident. What is good Momma Squad? Welcome back to our channel. If you are new, like we said, go hit that subscribe button Turn on post notifications so you get notified every time. We freaking post. Thank you guys so much for being a part of us But before we get on with this video today Momma Squad I do want to say you guys need to stay tuned for the end of the video question It's a very very very important question that we need your guys's thoughts. We need your input Also, let's try to get this video to 30,000 likes give this video a huge thumbs up before you do anything else We do want to give a huge shout out to all of our tiktok supporters are on the screen right here Thank you so much for supporting us and loving us. We love you We love you so much. Thank you for being a part of our tiktok and our live streams I'm hungry and you're hungry and that's how she responds. We were in a business meeting, and are we not eating all the food? It's two o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't had a meal yet. Oh my god. You literally whined just like my ex My ex always used to whine like that hair. Can you hold the camera babe? Do something for me? What? You're looking at me with devil eyes. Oh my god. I don't want to be compared to your ex. I don't care what she did So why does it matter? I'm angry. So why are you talking about your ex? I thought that was a good comparison That is not a good comparison bill. I'm just kidding.  Every girl is beautiful in their own way, but why do you have to talk about it? Okay?  Well, that's making me uncomfortable because you're keep right you just your third time I'm a squad. I'm sorry Mariah. Can I get off the subject of my ex, but we are going? You're the one who keeps talking about it.  Hold on.  Where do you want to go eat? Food. Do you know where I want to go? Want a beef? Yes, that's exactly what I want to go. That's just a trick if there are any guys watching this if your girl is like I want to go eat. Just ask her. All right Where do you think I want to go and then if she says a place just go to that place Good idea because if you said if you said shake steak and shake or something I would have been like oh, yeah That's where I wanted to go We just made it Beef if you guys have never been a bono beef.  It hits so much different. All right, let's order Can I get the chicken avocado bowl and then I'll get a strawberry avocado chicken salad Thanks, it's so awesome because things are falling start open up here It's 25 capacity here. Literally we got to go to Buffalo Wild Wings last night with our friends Yeah, it was so fun and it's so nice being able to eat inside a place instead of just outside I look really white. Hey look at your skin.  She looks beautiful no matter what you know I would always say these things to and everyone like my acts and everything so literally like No, you gotta hype them up Why would you hype up your accent of bill please stop? No, no, no, no, I'm just saying like it brings back memories when I I don't really want to film anymore now. Like I'll film man. I'm sorry Maybe here get off your phone I don't know why you feel it's okay to keep talking about your eggs. I'm sorry All right, listen this see this girl right here my squad or anyone new to our channel. This is my future wife Yeah, but yeah, you keep talking about your I thought that was gonna make you smile I'm not marrying my acts. She's not my wife.  I'm sorry. Literally. Can you just forgive me just forget about it I don't know why she's just been on my mind lately. Like I don't know why You know, I mean she's been out of your mind. She's just been on my mind like everywhere I go. I just see her It's weird. That's why I've been bringing her up and you know, I never bring her up, right? Then why are you with me if you miss your ex-girlfriend?  I don't miss her. I don't think please put the camera down Okay, I'm done filming. I'm done filming. I love you Don't even say you love me. You just talk about how you miss your ex. Okay. You love me Let's just forget about just forget about what I said. Let's just come here. No, this is a girl from Okay, you're just like, okay. All right. All right. Sorry It's not funny. I don't know what else to say. Like I'm sorry You keep crossing the line today. I'm talking about your ex over and over and how you miss her I'm done. I'm done. Yeah, we're gonna get food mama squad. We'll see you in a little bit. I'm sorry All right, so we made it home guys She's a little bit happier because she had some fries. Why are you walking away?  Bitch, I'm just kidding. She's the cutest girl in the world, but I feel so bad guys I don't mean to talk about my ex but as you can see by the title today I am telling my girlfriend that I miss my ex now trust me. This is not at all true I don't miss my ex. She was an awesome person, but I do not miss her at all one bit Mariah is my forever and I will tell her that at the end of this prank But now that we got food, she's gonna be in a little better mood.  So wish me luck. This is gonna be crazy. I cannot wait to see where this goes And so yeah, I will see you guys inside. Did you actually shut the door on me? What? Uh-huh. Nope You're not getting your food. You're not getting your food. So you give me a pecito. No because you're being annoying.  I'm sorry. It's me. I don't want to give you a kiss right now. Are you actually mad? All right, let's just have a good time eating them.  Yeah, I'm eating 258 and we are just eating our breakfast slash lunch I got an avocado bowl and I got an avocado and Strawberry salad. We're trying to eat a little better So we can cut down on some of the candy and stuff that we used to eat all the time She was like candy a holic I didn't really have anything if you're new to our channel.  I love you.  Oh, are you thinking of my ex name? See, why are you thinking of my ex now? I don't know. I just did it again, Bill. I don't know why you keep messing with me about that Okay, I'm sorry. I just came off. I meant like, you know, I love you G. Like you're my homie Okay. Yeah, I did baby. I did. Okay. Why you I love you M.

Welcome to today's episode of the mindset mentor podcast I'm your host Rob dial if you have not yet done so hit that subscribe button so that you never miss another podcast today We're gonna talk about the five ways that you need to focus and things that you need to focus on in order to have more energy Why would we want to do this? Well, because if you really think about energy Everything in this entire universe is energy. So if you see water or you see my hand all of them Everything that you can see that you perceive that you can not perceive it is all different Vibrating masses and so liquid just happens to be vibrating a lot faster than my desk that I'm standing at right now is and so When you start to think about the world being an energy Then I actually think that one of the most important things that we could pay attention to every single day is our energy If you think about the fact that we all have 24 hours every single day What really Changes what we're gonna get done or not get done is how much energy we bring to every single day And so if we can just have more energy then we're gonna get more done And so, you know, I'm gonna talk about some things you probably heard of before I'm gonna talk about some things that maybe you might not have thought of before I'm not gonna talk about sleep because everyone knows. Yeah, you should probably get some damn sleep That makes sense, but I'm gonna talk about things that give you energy and also drain energy from you as well So let's dive into it First thing that I listen to and the thing that gives me a ton of energy And what I always like to use as a tool to give me more energy is music What is the music that you listen to throughout the day? You know when I go and I meditate the first thing I do every single morning Besides going to bathroom and brush my teeth and all that stuff is my wife and I we go out into living room We turn on YouTube on the TV We put on 20 minute meditation music and we meditate and it's very chill music Right, but then what I do after that is usually I'll go and I'll make some coffee And what I've realized is that if I keep meditation music on when it goes from one YouTube video, it automatically is the next one It's always chill if I was just listening meditation music It's me more meditation music after and I'll drink my coffee and I'll sit there and the music will still be on And I'll notice that if it's chill meditation music, I'm very chill But if I need to go and work out in 30 minutes I'm not going to listen to chill meditation music before my workout That's what I usually switch it to something like EDM and what I realized if I put on EDM or trance or rap or whatever It is that I want to listen to that music is actually going to give me a certain type of energy What is music music is literally sounds what are sounds and words? Vibration sound is vibration and vibration changes your frequency Sound is vibration vibration changes your frequency words are affirmations What you say and you think you become and so when you think about that you think okay There's a lot of vibration that's coming through and I listen to music the words are Affirmations that I'm saying out loud Are they the type of things I want to be saying to myself because those things influence what I think and what I say And so for me the past year and a half ish I've started changing the music that I listen to because I start thinking to myself. How is this music right now? influencing my mood influencing my energy and The things that are being said in this song that I'm listening to is this the type of stuff I actually would say to someone that I love Are these the type of things I want to say to myself? And so the music that you listen to has a very big Shift in the energy it crosses a very big shift in the energy that you have and you bring to every single day So just start thinking about more music that you listen to you know if you're at an office and they got freakin You know, whatever it is jazz music. That's Slow elevator music that's playing in the background and that's not giving you energy But you want some freakin energy because you're about to go into cranking out a presentation Well, then maybe put some headphones on Blast some music that you love and have that be something that changes your energy You know, if you haven't if you don't feel really good today, maybe you had kind of a shitty morning Why don't you put on some music that makes you feel happy music has a way of shifting our energy?  You feel energized. You feel amazing.  Yes for that person. This person's awesome.  Have you ever met somebody in the first time you meet them? You're like damn. I don't know what it is about that person, but like there's something you ever met somebody like that Person's awesome, but if you also ever met somebody where you're like, there's nothing that's actually wrong that is said or that you can see But like your body is just sensing like Yeah, something's not right about that like something's doesn't feel right You can't perceive it. You can't see it. You can't hear it. None of that But it just doesn't feel right. That's your body picking up on the other person There's something that's not lining up with yours And so it's really important to take a step back and actually start to think about the people You spend time with you know if you work in an office there might be some people that They're kind of like black holes. How can you try to avoid them more? How can you set up some more boundaries because I know a lot of people are bad boundaries How can you set up boundaries so that person can't really come and invade your space? What is it that you can do everything to be figured out with the plan? Maybe you just haven't come up with a plan of exactly how to Avoid that person as much as possible to start to think about the people that you surround yourself with Even if they don't offend the senses we always say like they don't look bad. They don't smell bad They don't talk bad, but there's just something that's that's off about them Is it possible for you to spend less time with them?  Okay, next one number three Start to think about the information that you consume you're listening this podcast great. I love it But also pay attention to everything else outside of this, right? Do you ever feel like oh Man, it's three o'clock, and I'm just so exhausted today And you're like why am I so exhausted like I didn't do a whole lot I don't feel like there's a whole lot of things that really I was It's not like I want on a run I didn't do a whole crazy work out any of that type of stuff And then you start to think about like what type of information have I been consuming today? And you realize that maybe you've been around people who have been talking really negatively or maybe you've had You've been in a room where the news is on in the background You're still perceiving that even if you're not directly paying attention to it But so I think about the information that you consume one of the biggest things that happened to me about a year or a Year a half ago is that I realized that even the people I follow on Instagram Make a massive shift in the energy that I have throughout the day And this was during you know all the crazy stuff that was happening a couple years ago I noticed that I was following some people that were you know on the left side and the right side friends that I had for Years people that I actually know in person And I would see their stories And after their stories I would feel like shit right after and I was like man. It's eight o'clock in the morning I haven't really done anything. I just had my cup of coffee. I haven't got my workout in yet Like why do I feel so drained and I realized that some of the people that I actually know in Person were just terrible to follow on Instagram and I realized that the energy that you consume Whether you realize or not is changing the way that you feel throughout the day And so you may have somebody that you need to start unfollowing.  Whatever is you need to do about a year ago, I Unfriended 3,000 people on Facebook because I was like I don't really know these people anymore like I might have met them one time 16 years ago, but I started unfriending all these people and I realized that I started to create The actual information that I makes me feel better and on Instagram I went on there and I unfriended like or unfollowed like three or four hundred people and pages and all of this stuff Because I thought to myself If I'm gonna be consuming information throughout the day I really want to be in charge of making sure That I'm consuming information that is helping me get better. That's helping me improve That's motivating me to create the life that I want to and so I stopped following people who I know in real life and people who might be Political figures and all this stuff and I was like I'm going to curate The information that I want to see that is going to help me become better And so you've got to be real careful with the information you consume Most people know I mean hope that you know that the news is really messing with people So that's not thing that I'm really gonna dive into and talk about but I don't watch the news I don't watch any of those things. I don't let outside influences come into my brain as much as possible And so start paying attention to all of the information that you consume in your brain Number four is another thing that you consume the food that you eat Obviously this one should be super important to everybody that's out there But for me, you know, like everybody has different diets Everybody has different things that make them feel better, you know, you can have whole 30 You can have vegans you can have carnivore diet You can have all these different diets The one thing that I have found that works best for me and your body's different than mine Your body's different than everybody else is listening to this podcast is find what gives you the most energy There are things that I know that throughout the day if I eat it It's gonna make me have a little bit spike of energy and then drop like sugar 100% will do that Carbs will absolutely do that My thing is if it wasn't once alive, I don't eat it whether that be a plant or whether that be an animal If it wasn't once alive, I don't eat it because I don't want something that was manufactured by somebody else Because usually when it's manufactured by somebody else, they're trying to get profit when they're trying to get profit That means they're cheaping on it and that means that I'm probably consuming a whole bunch of crap Tons of crappy seed oils There's almost seed oils and everything that you could have and that leads to heart disease So I don't want that so the way that I think about it is Okay, I'm gonna if it wasn't once alive like really physically alive and not changed I'm not going to eat it plants animals. That's it. Nothing else now There's certain things that I could eat in the morning that could take energy away from me And there's certain things I gain the middle of the day that give me energy So I start paying attention in planning my day out in planning the food that I eat based off of how I want to feel each day and how I need to get the certain amount of calories a certain amount of protein all that stuff as well And so just start to pay more attention to the food that you eat food can either give you energy or can steal energy from you And for some of you guys digestion for everybody digestion is the most important thing that you do because it is the most energy-consuming Thing that your body does So for some of you listening this Fasting might actually give you a lot more energy and so maybe you start trying some fasting Maybe don't eat until two o'clock and see if that gives you more energy for me. I Know I eat breakfast I usually have the exact same thing every single morning for breakfast And then I usually don't eat until about four o'clock because I know that if I fast in between there I usually feel the best as you get the most done I'm usually my brain is cranking and that's what I care about is my brain crank it So I can get as much done and have as much energy as possible And so you have to pay attention to the food that you eat So what works for you is what works for you? I don't care about anybody else's diet I care about what's going to give you in your body the most energy. That's number four and number five The fifth tip that I can give you to have as much energy as possible is to don't Don't rely on the way that you feel Don't rely on the way that you feel don't decide okay if I feel motivated then I'm gonna go to the gym If I feel like I have enough energy, then I'm gonna do this What I mean by this is force movement Make yourself do what you said you were going to do if you're the type of person that is Hoping that you have enough motivation to go to the gym or hoping that you have enough motivation in order to Get your project done that you need to do for work You're gonna be hoping and waiting for a long time What I care about is being the most consistent person in the room not being the most Motivated person in the room and so how can you make yourself do what needs to be done? Because if you're waiting for motivation, you're gonna be waiting for a long time the interesting thing about motivation Psychologists have done many studies on this and find that motivation if you're waiting for it to come before action You're gonna be waiting for a long time Motivation usually doesn't come before action Motivation usually follows action and so if you want to be motivated The best way to be motivated is to get your ass moving even when you don't feel like moving Even when you didn't have a great morning whatever it is So if you want to give yourself a chance to be motivated You have to get an action you have to start moving and what happens is as you start moving your heart rate goes up Your energy starts to change you start to get endorphins You start to get more motivated and more motivated and more motivated all because you decided to take action No matter how you felt Motivation follows action Not the other way around and so those are the five tips to have more energy and get more done Make sure you pay attention to the music that you listen to make sure you pay attention to people that you're spending time with Make sure you pay attention to the information that you consume and that's going into your brain Make sure you pay attention to the food that you eat and next one last one Make sure that you force yourself to take action in order to give yourself a chance to be motivated So that's what I got for you for today's lesson for today's podcast If you love this podcast, please do me if I ever shared on the Instagram stories and tag me in it Rob dial junior R.

So my name is Ressia Tosalian. I work in Pastoral Women Council in Tasmania. So where we want to go is we want to see the ecological resources being developed and sustainable development being undertaken in the local community level. The current global economy should diversify funds to the land resource and also be able to maintain the laws that govern the community so as to sustain both the climatic conditions within the community. Thank you.
