When I was first asked to write an article about the use of AI in media and public affairs, my face looked a bit like that meme of the side-eyeing little girl in her car seat — confused by AI, concerned about what it meant, and unsettled by the future possibilities.
However, as I began to explore the myriad capabilities and functionalities of AI, I realized there was no need to be scared of the robots. The true power of AI comes from the one who wields it.

Every once in a while I come across a thoughtful article on AI that isn't technical. In What Everyone Gets Wrong about the Transformative Power of AI (https://bit.ly/3W2aUJ0), you start to get a feel for how nobody really knows how AI will transform our lives, just that it will
"Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make", so said Irving John Good in 1965 in the middle of the first AI summer. Two thought provoking ideas follow:
1. A few weeks ago I read "My Last 5 Year of Work", written by #AvitalBalwit, CEO of Anthropic, who posits that we are nearing the end of human employment (full article here: https://lnkd.in/ghaQUrxd):
"The general reaction to language models among knowledge workers is one of denial. They grasp at the ever diminishing number of places where such models still struggle, rather than noticing the ever-growing range of tasks where they have reached or passed human level. [...] The economically and politically relevant comparison on most tasks is not whether the language model is better than the best human, it is whether they are better than the human who would otherwise do that task. [...] The shared goal of the field of artificial intelligence is to create a system that can do anything. I expect us to soon reach it. If I’m right, how should we think about the coming obsolescence of work?"
2. Today, I watched a video by youtuber, Matthew Berman, commenting on the 165-page paper penned by Leopold Aschenbrenner, formerly of the OpenAI#Superalignment team, "Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead" (full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gvTKsFzF).
He posits that as soon as we hit an AI performance standard that allows us to create an automated AI Researcher/Engineer, the pace of AI research will go #exponential, as we gain the capability to deploy hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands and then millions of artificial AI engineers who can work 24 hours a day on #AGI, effectively improving themselves #recursively. If and when this happens we could compress the next decade of research into a year. There will be no more need for #AiResearchers such as #Balwit and #Berman, or increasingly for any other human (although this will likely take longer for manual jobs).
The suggestion is that we could hit this level by 2028. Could we be there in only 4 years? That is what at least a credible body of the experts believe, by extrapolating current rates of progress. Whether or not this is true, it is truly thought provoking, somewhat humbling and indeed slightly terrifying.

Please take a Pique - Especially if you are involved in the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Field!
AI adoption is happening much faster then realized and EAP Professionals definitely need to fully understand this current cutting-edge technology.
AI can definitely do harm. This is especially true since EAPs face the unique position of Dual Client Relationships.
The Worldwide EAP Field needs to proceed with Caution and Work Together to fully understand AI and then develop and implement innovative EAP techniques to meet our Dual Client Relationship Responsibilities.
We don’t have to be in this Alone.
Interesting analysis by Blaise Aguera y Arcas.
From my end it's fascinating to notice how from a #Marxist perspective "alienation" is already occurring with increasing clear-cut divisions between white collar workers and #AI, the master and the slave. And then between white collar workers using and those who aren't using AI.
It's true though that such a perspective it's only due to the way in which we tend to see the world as a zero-sum game. It's only us creating problems out of the tools that we craft and leverage.
The question for this century will be: how can we ensure that the development and implementation of AI serves the interests of the working class/humanity rather than further entrenching capitalist power structures?

Running a RAG is what a ton of people are looking for with AI.
1. Limiting scope.
2. Preventing hallucinations
3. Tweaking the context window based on chunks and overlap

Really impressive. Really cheap.
My 2 cents, AI sweet spot is for people with lots of lived experience, less so people with no experience at all. The more experienced the person, the more it becomes a multiplier or scalar of work. It takes the X hours a day I have and multiplies those hours --- nothing has ever done that for me since there is only one of me. With this, it's like there's a few of me in a room.

What is the Biggest Problem with AI?
The biggest problem with pushing all-things-Al is..Wrong Direction of using AI ‼️
We should use Al to automatically handle our laundry, dishes and all other mundane tasks so that we can focus on what truly matters i.e. thinking and innovating creative ways to acheive our goals, whatever they might be 💡🙂
Not for Al to do creative thinking for us so that we can spend more time on things like laundry and dishes 😁
Although honestly as an SE, I am all in for using AI for writing RFP responses on a Friday evenings, so that I can spend more time with my family and get ready for the weekend 😆😎
