Reason should not be the Reason for any Reason #Technophile

The founder of OpenAI can't get himself to use AI for email. And we think the rest of the world will adopt it faster?

Sam Altman admitted this week that he still uses email and calendar the old way. Despite knowing AI can handle it. Despite building the technology himself.

His words "The capability is there. But I still end up using the traditional way."

This tells you everything. AI doesn't have a capability problem. It has a muscle memory problem.

Every AI product gives you an empty box. That empty box triggers one instinct — type a question, get an answer. That's Google. We've been trained on that for 20 years.

But work isn't questions. Work is tasks, delegation, follow-ups, judgment calls. And nobody has built a UX that makes your brain switch from "ask" to "delegate."

The Turing Test was passed two years ago. We celebrated. But passing it changed nothing because it was the wrong test.

The real one isn't "can AI talk like a human?" It's "can AI work like a coworker and you can't tell the difference?"

Talking is performance. Working is intelligence. We haven't passed that test yet.

The companies that win won't build better chatbots. They'll build AI that lives where you already work Slack, email, your tools and behaves like a teammate you tag, not a search engine you query.

Money is like water.
When it flows, it grows.
When it’s idle, it evaporates.

6 longevity lessons from the oldest people from Japan

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

There are at least 4 types of wealth:

1. Financial wealth (money)
2. Social wealth (status)
3. Time wealth (freedom)
4. Physical wealth (health)

Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4. —James Clear

I'm increasingly convinced that the ability to laugh at yourself is a competitive advantage in life.

It was 2008. The financial crisis had flattened the world.

I was sitting at Goldman Sachs watching people pack up everything they owned into cardboard boxes as 20% of the workforce was fired.

People were crying, protestors outside were chanting “F*ck the 1%” as they left. It is a moment stamped on my memory forever.

But as I sat outside one of the glass offices where they fired people, I got to overhear something that didn’t fit...

They were firing one of the managing directors, head guys and he, unlike everyone else, wasn’t crying or yelling. He was smiling.

They were going back and forth over a piece of paper.

On it, I’d find out later, was his equity % that he’d get in the firm. They were explaining to him what his exit package would be. He was getting paid to leave and not work. That pay included him owning part of the company after he left.

His name was Jim, and he was paid millions over the next few years.

Jim understood ownership.

I heard someone say once that they made more than the CEO of a bunch of companies, including Ford, in 1 year. Hmmmm. That would be a lot of money. That would surprise me… So I went to look up the numbers. Because, well, math always wins.

So Ford’s CEO’s salary was $1.7 million. Ok, I make more than that too.

But wait a second… his TOTAL compensation was $20.9M. I do not make more than that a year.

Goldman Sachs’s CEO’s salary is $2M a year. Wow, I make more than that. But wait… all in he makes $25-35Million. I don’t take home that… yet.

Here’s the problem most people do not understand:

Wealth will never come from a salary. It only comes through ownership.

There are only 4 ways to get ownership:

Start your own company

Become such a valuable employee to a company you’re irreplaceable (and get equity for it)

Invest in a company

Buy a company like you buy a house

You can work hard for a paycheck, or you can work hard for equity.

You can take a bet on a startup, or you can buy a business that’s already profitable.

It’s all hard, but I know my choice.

My choice is to never be kicked out with a cardboard box when things get hard. If you still get protested like the 1% you might as well be one of them.

Most Americans I know with money want to invest in India because they believe they are plateauing as a nation and that we are the future. But somehow, young Indians are still bitten by the bug to travel to America to build their future. This is such a dichotomy.

AI will take over most of the mundane and repetitive tasks.

And human creativity and ingenuity will be how we differentiate ourselves from machines.

What is the difference between Discuss, Explain, Comment, Critically Examine, Evaluate & Enumerate in Mains Questions?

1. Discuss - Give positive, negative & neutral aspects of the topic.
2. Explain - It is more to do with informing/providing knowledge. Give details.
