Saturday Seven's: 15th April 2023
A compilation of my findings, interests, and actions from the past week that might be of interest to you. It allows me to share the results of my weekly routine, and you can follow too!
Hello you!
Here you will find my findings from this past week, things I’m thinking about, and discovering. If you enjoy it, feel free to forward this along to friends (they might enjoy it too!).
What I’ve listened to:

What I’m excited about:
AutoGPT: Auto GPT is an open-source AI application that automates and optimizes business processes, generates ideas, and provides recommendations. It requires installation of Git, Python, and API keys from Pinecone, OpenAI, and 11 Labs, and allows users to define goals for the AI to generate ideas and recommendations based on input. With technical knowledge, Auto GPT can streamline operations and increase productivity for businesses of any size.
You can find the GITHUB of the code: HEREAll In Podcast Meetups: The all in podcast is a youtube podcast that shows every week with the likes of “industry veterans, degenerate gamblers & besties Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks & David Friedberg cover all things economic, tech, political, social & poker.”
Mckay Wrigley’s chatBot UI: While its very clear that we all love chatGPT and the equalizing possibilities it offers us. A coder by the name of Mckay Wrigley created a User Interface that can be launched with the openAI API key and allows for longer output and more concise code output.
Building GPT from SCRATCH: Youtube video, but can also serve as a decomposition of chatGPT
Quotes I’ve liked:
“Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act rightly because we are excellent, in fact we achieve excellence by acting rightly.” - Plato
“You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your willpower to make the sun rise. […] Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.” - Walter Wattles
“The best CEO’s embrace uncertainty with a view that fortune favors the bold.” - Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra
“The poor do not need charity, they need inspiration” - Walter Wattles
“The best CEO’s apply boldness to each of the three dimensions of direction setting: - Vision, Strategy, and Resource allocation.” - Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, and Vikram Malhotra
“Use your mind to form a mental image of what you want, and to hold that vision with faith and purpose; and use your will to keep in mind working in the right way.” - Walter Wattles
This week’s curiosities, interests, and thoughts:
Thoughts:
To learn well, discover what you don’t understand and find multiple perspectives on that topic. Like the black car with the fat woman on the bonnet at the Dali museum, surrounded by multiple windows allowing to see it from many vantage points.
`What is wrong with me?! `
When this question comes up, its usually because of one of these 5 things:
Problems
Not reading → lack of clarity/ lack of inspiration / lack of energy.
Recovering from workout → Low energy + Irritability
No train of thought/Haziness → Lack of consistency in action
Feeling Isolated → No social support
Fear+Fomo → Consuming social media + Low quality mental input.
Anxious → Over stimulated → Coffee
Here are the solutions:Read
Rest/Stretch/Eat good nutrition
Go out for walk, talk to someone
Stop going on social media
Stop drinking coffee
If you input nothing, you’ll have no fuel to output with and won’t be productive.
When reading, breathe deeply, your mind will have more bloodflow to focus with.
Get known for something you can do every single minute of your day and not get tired of. Only then can success be correlated with well-being.
Get known for something highly in demand. Get known for something that produces high value and quality for others.
If you don’t get to be the Hero of your own story, how do you ever become the guide? And if you never succeed, you never get to play that role.
If order to create the effects of a long term habit, you must be able to go through “The long term”, it must be your daily lifestyle. It must have become natural. The transitory state between a life you don’t like and do like is in embracing the pain of change.
You become your daily habit, not your once in a while action.
What is your daily life composed of?
What does your typical day look like?
What outcomes do you want to achieve?
Form your day around the activities you wish to pursue LONG TERM, not because you will get instant money if you do so. The now pain = the later enjoyment. Always. Passion comes from being good at something, you can’t enjoy what you’re bad at, therefore, it doesn’t matter if you’re not good in the short-term. Push through and master it, then you’ll have passion.
What ads value to your life, proportional to the life you have?
If you have no use-case for it, it has no value.
“Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value.” -Walter Wattles.
Women look at you like they look at a baby, are you responsive? Do you have emotions? Do your pupils dilate? Are you a caring human being or a cold blooded lizard?
If chatGPT is accessible to everyone, then success = the ability to execute better than others, while also using first mover advantage.
Example: if everyone can create a youtube script using AI, the success becomes who can best deliver the speech with that script.

Prompt:
`If money looses all its value for humans, how will it affect us?
explain how social hierarchies will change if money no longer has any value:`
(My rational behind these 2 questions is that, If Sam Altman decides UBI for all. Then, if money isn't going to hold the same value, perhaps something else might. So if money is no longer a deciding factor, that shifts the power to real and genuin people, because they're already doing well without it.)Response on loss of monetary value:
“If money were to lose all its value, social hierarchies could undergo significant changes. Here are some possible scenarios:
Shift from Wealth-Based to Skill/Knowledge-Based Hierarchy: In a society where money has no value, wealth would no longer be a primary determinant of social status and power. Instead, other factors such as skills, knowledge, expertise, and talents could become more important in defining social hierarchies. People who possess valuable skills, specialized knowledge, or unique talents could gain recognition and respect, leading to a shift in societal values and a reevaluation of what is considered prestigious or admirable.
Emphasis on Contributions to the Community: Without money, people might place a higher value on contributions to the community or society as a whole. Those who actively contribute to the well-being of the community through meaningful work, volunteering, or social service could gain social recognition and respect. This could lead to a more community-centric approach to social hierarchies, where individuals who make positive contributions to the collective good are highly regarded.
Importance of Relationships and Social Bonds: In a society without money, relationships and social bonds could become more vital for survival and well-being. People might rely on mutual support, cooperation, and solidarity to meet their basic needs and fulfill their social and emotional needs. Social hierarchies could be based on the strength of personal connections, friendships, and networks, rather than on monetary wealth or possessions.
Focus on Personal Fulfillment and Well-Being: In the absence of money, people might prioritize personal fulfillment and well-being over material wealth or social status. Social hierarchies could be redefined based on factors such as emotional intelligence, mental and physical health, and overall life satisfaction. Those who lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, regardless of their material possessions or financial wealth, could be highly respected and esteemed in society.
Potential for Egalitarianism: The loss of money as a measure of value could lead to a more egalitarian society, where social hierarchies are flattened, and there is less disparity between individuals in terms of wealth and income. Economic inequalities could be diminished, and power imbalances based on wealth could be reduced. This could result in a more equitable society where people are judged based on their intrinsic qualities and contributions rather than their financial status.
Recognition of Non-Monetary Forms of Work: In a moneyless society, the value of different types of work could be reevaluated. Jobs that are traditionally low-paying or undervalued in monetary terms, such as caregiving, volunteering, or creative pursuits, could be recognized and esteemed for their intrinsic worth and contribution to society. This could lead to a more inclusive and holistic view of work, where individuals are valued for their efforts and contributions beyond their monetary compensation.
Emphasis on Education and Knowledge Sharing: In the absence of monetary rewards, education and knowledge sharing could become highly valued in society. Those who possess knowledge, expertise, and skills could be respected and esteemed for their contributions to the collective knowledge and well-being of the community. This could foster a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and collaboration, where individuals are recognized for their intellectual abilities and willingness to share knowledge with others.
Focus on Environmental Sustainability and Resource Conservation: Without the incentive of money, societies might place a higher value on environmental sustainability and resource conservation. People could recognize the finite nature of resources and the need to protect and preserve them for future generations. Those who actively work towards sustainable practices, such as conservation, recycling, or regenerative agriculture, could be highly regarded in society, leading to a reevaluation of social hierarchies based on environmental stewardship.
Importance of Personal Values and Ethical Behavior: In the absence of money, personal values and ethical behavior could become critical factors in social hierarchies. Individuals who demonstrate integrity, fairness, and ethical decision-making could be highly respected and esteemed. This could lead to a society where moral and ethical principles play a more prominent role in defining social status and power dynamics.
Potential for Collective Decision-Making: Without the influence of money, decision-making processes could shift towards more collective and participatory approaches. Social hierarchies could be defined by the ability to engage in collaborative decision-making, where individuals have an equal voice and participation in shaping the direction of their communities. This could lead to a more inclusive and democratic society where power is distributed more equitably.
It's important to note that changes in social hierarchies in a society where money has no value would depend on various factors, including cultural norms, values, and the specific mechanisms that emerge to replace money as a medium of exchange. The dynamics of such a society would likely be complex and multifaceted, and the actual outcomes would be challenging to predict with certainty.”

`what would a society dependent on ai look like ?`A society dependent on artificial intelligence (AI) could have several unique characteristics and implications. Here are some potential aspects:
Automated Systems: AI could be integrated into various aspects of society, leading to widespread automation of tasks across different industries and sectors. Jobs that involve repetitive or routine tasks could be largely automated, leading to significant changes in the workforce and job market. This could result in increased efficiency and productivity, but also potential job displacement and the need for reskilling and retraining programs.
Advanced Technology and Infrastructure: A society dependent on AI would likely have advanced technological infrastructure to support the development, deployment, and management of AI systems. This could include robust computing capabilities, high-speed data networks, and sophisticated algorithms for processing and analyzing vast amounts of data. The society would need to invest in research and development to continuously improve AI technologies and stay at the forefront of AI advancements.
Data-Driven Decision Making: AI relies heavily on data for training and decision-making. In a society dependent on AI, data would be a critical resource, and data-driven decision-making could become the norm. Data collection, storage, and analysis would be essential for training AI models, optimizing processes, and making informed decisions across various domains, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and governance.
Ethical Considerations: The ethical implications of AI would be of paramount importance in a society dependent on AI. Ethical guidelines, regulations, and standards would be needed to ensure that AI systems are developed and used responsibly and with consideration for societal values, fairness, and transparency. Issues such as bias, privacy, accountability, and human rights would require careful consideration and robust governance frameworks.
Human-AI Interaction: As AI systems become more prevalent, human-AI interaction would likely become a crucial aspect of society. People would need to interact and collaborate with AI systems effectively and ethically. This could involve human supervision of AI systems, training AI models, interpreting AI-generated insights, and understanding the limitations of AI. Ensuring that human values and perspectives are taken into account in AI decision-making would be a significant challenge.
Enhanced Services and Personalization: AI could lead to highly personalized and tailored services in a society dependent on AI. AI could analyze vast amounts of data to understand individual preferences, behaviors, and needs, and provide personalized recommendations and services in areas such as healthcare, education, transportation, and entertainment. This could potentially improve the quality of services and enhance user experiences.
Economic and Social Disparity: The widespread adoption of AI could potentially exacerbate economic and social disparities in society. Those who have access to advanced AI technologies and the skills to work with them could benefit from increased productivity and economic opportunities, while others who lack access or skills could be left behind. Addressing this disparity and ensuring equitable distribution of benefits would be a significant challenge for a society dependent on AI.
Redefining Work and Education: AI could significantly impact the nature of work and education in a society dependent on AI. Jobs that require human skills such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, and complex problem-solving could be in high demand, while repetitive and routine tasks could be automated. Education and training would need to adapt to prepare individuals for the changing job market, with a focus on developing skills that complement AI technologies.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship: A society dependent on AI could foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. AI could enable new business models, products, and services, and spur entrepreneurial activities. Startups and companies that leverage AI could have a significant advantage, and innovation could be accelerated in various domains, including healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and energy.
Cybersecurity and Trust: With increased reliance on AI, cybersecurity and trust would be critical concerns in a society dependent on AI. Protecting data, ensuring
