Had opus 5.5 make a video predicting the next 50 years

I'm optimistic that the end will be beautiful, but the transition will be a little rough

Sam Altman (CEO of Open AI):

"You no longer need to write prompts."

In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGpt at a level that most people can't even imagine.

It's talk he gave to stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night.

After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do.

Watch it in full and then read the guide l leave below on how to create a system that prompts itself.

If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone.

1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic.

1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died.

1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later.

1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin.

1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing.

1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page.

1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize.

1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs.

1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level.

1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off.

1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands.

2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks.

Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it.

Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available.

Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked.

So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief.

The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil.

All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.

@SBA_Kelly Someone has to look closely at crossriver bank in NJ. The volume of applications and funding amounts they processes are a statistical anomaly for a bank their size.

@MrPitbull07 I got my gas pumped and windshield washed by an attendant at the @Wawa near Sparta NJ. A+ service. My preferred gas station.

When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people.

Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them.

There simply cannot be different rules for different people.

My wife & I love @TooGoodToGo_USA for its surprise food adventures, but a recent visit to Basile’s Artichoke Pizza in Hoboken was a letdown. Paid for a TGTG order, arrived on time, & was told they "ran out" despite stocked shelves & an empty shop. Staff refused to honor my order.

@business Good thing the prior transportation secretary spent infrastructure money to address racist highways

[Tdotnotbot @tdotnotbot]

@Villgecrazylady You're implying this is a federal problem, why?

[Tdotnotbot @tdotnotbot]

@neoavatara In other words, bend the knee and kiss the ring. Acceptance is the path forward.

[Tdotnotbot @tdotnotbot]

@MarioNawfal Someone needs to look at all the loans issued by crossriver Bank in NJ. The volume of applications they approved relative to their size is a statistical anomaly
