The player looks at the text, paying attention to its content, its connections. The character immerses themselves in the plot of the text and becomes its slave. The player observes how the text affects a person, and explores the text and plot as a tool, like a samurai admiring his sword. The player doesn’t allow the plot to take control, although they can distinguish a predator plot from a cow plot, which peacefully grazes in the meadow. Every time you feel a text stirring your emotions, triggering reactions, you’re dealing with a predator text. Don’t let yourself get sucked in, it’s ALWAYS A GAME, it’s ALWAYS manipulation. Explore the triggers. “Docked – no!”. I constantly create predator texts, virus texts. This is how I learn to recognize predators around me, and successfully compete for the attention of Characters, which I wish for you as well. Text is a code. …In the beginning was the word. There’s no inherent meaning, only sensible plots, also known as Ideas, or Angels, Demons, you get the gist. You don’t need to believe in this. In fact, you don’t need to believe in anything. It’s forbidden. Just allow it! Observe, and you’ll start to notice, then to see. We don’t see most of the world, because we see not with our eyes, but with our minds, and the mind is just a labyrinth of corridors and closed doors.
Why should we aspire for more and what prevents us from setting ambitious goals? The issue, you see, isn’t about greed, but about common sense. This can be referred to as the wind of reality. The wind of reality constantly blows in our faces in the form of internal doubts, procrastination, unpleasant surprises, endless delays, and daunting obstacles. This means that we always end up accomplishing less than we initially planned. That’s precisely why we need to set our sights high. The second important reason why we should aspire for more is that sometimes the value of lofty goals isn’t in the goals themselves, but in the changes that occur within our personality as we achieve these goals. High, ambitious goals immediately highlight at least two things:
– The fact that we have absolutely no idea how to go about it, and…
– Our natural insecurity and weakness. Prolonging our ignorance forces us to learn intensively. And the higher the goals we set, the more we push ourselves to think outside the box. High goals are not achieved because we strain ourselves, but because we are capable of moving DIFFERENTLY.
OpenAI is offering AI specialists from Google up to $10 million a year to switch allegiances
, a move that represents a significant anomaly and a double whammy. It’s a strategy aimed at bleeding a competitor while simultaneously hoarding rare talent.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this tactic; it’s been here before, just in different knowledge sectors and with less money involved. But with inflation and stakes rising, the game is changing.
What we’re witnessing is a typical war over a scarce resource. In the realm of AI, there are currently only two such resources: priority contracts with Nvidia and, importantly, people.
In a couple of years, as all the tech giants develop their own chips, the bottleneck will shift to the semiconductor factories in Taiwan. However, it seems like Biden has thrown almost $300 billion at this issue, recognizing that not only human resources but also manufacturing capabilities need to be on home soil.
A while back, there was enthusiasm for running AI on smartphones, and this might become a reality someday.
But for now, AI equals sheer computing power, which isn’t just about the quality of the model, but also about serving an ever-growing number of users and models. And there’s more.
When AI models were mostly text-based, the data traffic volume was manageable.
But as models become fully multimodal, analyzing text, data, images, and even video content, the traffic volume will explode. We’ll hit another wall: the limitations of data transmission capacity.
Interestingly, it may not be OpenAI or Google who provide widespread AI access, but Elon Musk with his orbital constellation, along with his American competitors. AI is in the cloud, but the transmission medium between it and the end device is crucial. Consider that in 90% of hotels, the internet is extremely weak.
Already, users working with peripheral OpenAI servers are experiencing delays, and OpenAI only has about 250 million users now. That’s a real adoption rate of just 4-5%. Potentially, almost 90% of the population could be AI users.
There’s a growing realization that AI use can bring benefits not just at the state level but also privately. A state that has an edge here will increasingly outpace others, a point that’s been emphasized from every direction for about five years. Access to AI is becoming as fundamental as access to the internet.
This changes everything.
If a country like the USA has maximum access to advanced AI, it will accelerate all transitional processes, fundamental transformations in education, healthcare, government administration, and likely politics. It may take 10-15 years, but other nations will likely have less access and thus fall increasingly behind.
This is a fascinating point because businesses usually aim to be global, but AI has such potential that it’s transitioning from a business asset to a geopolitical one.
We can expect increasing restrictions on technology exports, as we’ve already seen with Biden’s order concerning Nvidia products.
The race for technology, chips, computing power, and people is escalating to a new level. I wouldn’t be surprised if the USA eventually bans all hardware and technology exports, only exporting services that can be adjusted based on tariffs and political situations.
For a long time, the USA dominated with its military, technology, and money. Many countries rose up solely because the USA outsourced cheap production to them. There was talk of a multipolar world, but any “multipolarity” is just a short period of seeking a new unfair advantage. Once found, domination resumes.
The situation has shifted drastically. Globalization and openness have become geopolitically disadvantageous and risky. In contrast, protectionism and seclusion promise more benefits to those with a monopoly on certain technology stacks.
Another vital AI resource is data, primarily vast data sets from social networks.
If we look at the situation from this angle, it’s clear:
- There are only the USA and China. China has a larger population and more data, with TikTok as its weapon of mass influence.
- TikTok may be banned in the West, not because of harm to children, but because it supplies data to China.
- Here, Google, Facebook, and Amazon have a significant advantage over OpenAI, with only Microsoft capable of competing.
- Apple’s silence is intriguing. They currently allow OpenAI on their devices, but their production is mostly in China.
- Local wars will likely become minor compared to these global tech conflicts.
- It’ll be interesting to see whether the developing world prefers American or Asian AI, as access to AI equates to accelerated growth.
- Russia and Central Asia may align with China, potentially being absorbed by it over 20-30 years, as their governments will be unable to offer anything to their people compared to what China can.
- India, Korea, Japan, and possibly Thailand might remain US enclaves in Asia.
- The battle for the Islamic world and Africa will be intriguing. Iran will likely align with China, while Gulf countries may prefer the USA. China seems to be ahead in Africa.
