@p_millerd Yes - also exactly why small biz has a leg up. Fewer people = more manageable transition and skill-up

[Michael Crist @themichaelcrist]

Could be any number of things, but this helped me:

1. Very low carb < 25g per day
2. No food > 2hrs before bed
3. 10g creatine per day
4. Breath Right strips

#4 is the latest thing I’ve added to my stack and WOW… after 7-8 years, I’m finally dreaming again. Made a huge diffeeence

@thepatwalls Deep work is important for *people*, not just founders

Prediction:

Before 2030, the smartest AI on earth will live in a SCIF, the second smartest will work for Blackrock.

… and we’ll get whatever’s left.

I’m not being doomerist… this is already happening.

The White House is prepping an executive order that will require federal review of new AI models before public release.

Let me translate that for you:

The government is about to decide which models you’re allowed to use.

This was predictable (and inevitable) from the start.

Intelligence is dangerous, and superintelligence (where all of this is heading) is a weapon.

AI companies are essentially building atomic bombs that can think.

The public doesn’t have access to hand grenades, bio-weaepons, or nuclear bombs.

The same logic will apply here.

So, AI is about to split into (at least) 3 tiers:

1️⃣ FIRST:

The government gets the top tier.

They’ll use it for military planning, bio-weapons research, cyber operations, and a whole lot more we can’t even imagine.

There will be models the public will never see or be told about.

They’ll live in a SCIF. Classified.

2️⃣ SECOND:

Enterprise will get the next tier.

They’ll use it for massive compute of proprietary data, R&D that smaller companies can’t match.

Think Blackrock, Pfizer, Lockheed.

(Hey - maybe we’ll finally be able to reverse engineer UFO tech 😉)

3️⃣ THIRD:

The rest of us get whatever’s left over…

Stratified by income level.

The rich will pay for the sharpest assistants, best forecasters for their investment portfolios, more powerful reasoning, etc.

They’ll be able to make better decisions faster.

Their kids will learn faster.

Their investments will compound faster.

The middle class will get something competent.

It’ll be useful for everyday life, but capped.

Unfortunately, the lower class will get whatever’s free.

Eventually, a countries will nationalize their own models and make them public utilities.

Free AI for every citizen…

Like a digital library card.

---

I’m still very bullish on AI… that was never the question.

I just think the next 4 years (maybe less) decide whether AI becomes a public good or a private weapon.

It’ll almost certainly become both

@JamesonCamp Yes 100

@ItsKieranDrew @AlexHormozi He’s not dumb. They probably did it specifically for the Streisand Effect.

-they had to of known it would still be up on Tony’s channel
-they had to of known lots of people would talk about it
