We are closer to AI than many realize. You are a system. Similar to AI, you process inputs to produce outputs. And we optimize ourselves. Learning how to expertly use AI can teach us through correlations how to better use this life we are living.

1) Your training matters. What you put in matters and directly informs your output.

2) Our system hallucinates. You are not every thought that your brain fires. Know how to categorize your processing of the world.

3) Your prompts guide you. The environment you remain in determines the output of the life you live and informs your view of the world. If you want different output, ditch the misguided or toxic inputs through conscious changes to your environment. You are a natural reaction to the environment you allow to build around you as you live. You can alter it quickly and deterministically with different places, different contexts, and different people in your web of trust. Change these with finality and intent, or expect the same results in life.

4) Isolated and poor queries still consume real energy from the grid. You’re here, so get to work and make something great. Your life consumes the same power either way. Don’t waste it. Find your purpose. If you do nothing to participate and contribute in the world you’re a waste of energy. You’re not special, you’re specialized. So don’t expect any pampering. Get to work and deliver your value.

5) The best medium of exchange for both is Bitcoin; governed by physics, a decentralized storage and exchange of value.

We see obsessions and headlines about how close AI is getting to human thought. But many miss how close to AI we already are. Knowing this can change how you approach life, make you healthier, and offer an advantage over the misguided.
