Thanks for sharing that.
Epstein was really into the development of AI, He had loads of the leading AI weirdos out on the Island, of course he wanted to live to 140 first of all
According to Musk if you can survive the next decade, there’s no reason why you can’t achieve immortality and live forever.
A frightening thought.

he was into everything, I have become a bit of an expert on this scene.
He’s mad into brain implants, Id say we are 20-30 years away from that. He’s on about downloading your consciousness so it will be immortal
And you knowing full well that cows are only hitting their prime at about 10 years old.
I suppose a bovine nazi just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
There’s an old lad drinks in my local that has a brain implant for Parkinsons. Before he got it done he couldn’t do anything without help, now he’s sitting at the bar sipping single malt. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I can’t code or write SQL queries. I spent a few hours this afternoon interrogating a vast amount of data tables using SQL queries generated by AI based on the explanations and queries I fed into the AI front end. Absolute game changing stuff.

Chat gpt of all things helped me xref day data and cumulative data between three pivot views tonight…I’d nearly have paid for it!
The only actual useful thing AI has ever done for me is separate music tracks into stems.
Is that worth the impending AI-driven end of the world? Probably, as we’re all going to die soon anyway.
For balance here is a counter to the article I added yesterday.

There’s a lot of things happening in the AI space simultaneously and much of it is overreacting and underreacting.
Companies overreacting to breakthroughs and putting all their eggs in one basket and having the market hand their arse back to them. See Oracle and Microsoft.
And then the other side of it where there are big wild productive breakthroughs that are remarkable feats in engineering. eg The manner in which Claude from Anthropic can solve complex software engineering tasks is science fiction-y.
There’s a blur of information out there. On the whole it sounds like a lot of the meaningful bits of progress are being silently missed by the distractions of the awful products that were rushed out into the marketplace. Most obviously Microsoft’s Copilot.
It’s a really interesting pocket of industry right now and it’s really hard to tell how fast anyone’s job will be automated away. I’ve worked in the broad area of software engineering for two decades and I’m alternating between “we’re fucked” to “this stuff is rubbish” on a weekly basis.
Interesting times. It’s a huge storyline for next decade.

Is that real ?
They’re rolling out Microsoft Copilot in my work now. 
Ya it is has gotten a bit of backlash.

It’s a really poor, confusing product. I’ve seen tons of demos of “really exciting use cases” but usually it’s just people summarising their recent emails or meetings. It’s expensive too.
I think in the next 12/18 months you’ll see them start rolling the copilot licence into the higher level business licencing.
A huge issue for orgs is also the data governance piece. CoPilot will give you back answers from all the datasets you have access to. The issue is that you, or anybody else, may not know that you have had access to that data. It’s thrown up a lot of problems in orgs where Sharepoint usage has grown organically (through Teams, OneDrive etc) without any real formal approach and permissions can be all over the shop.
