And it will tease you with content, giving you stuff you don't like only to give you stuff that you like.

And it does this.

A lot of people don't say, well, see, it doesn't know what I like because it gave me cat videos and a cat videos.

And it's doing that to, to tenderize you into wanting this.

Now I say this, it's doing that.

It's an algorithm that's optimized to gain your attention.

So I'm an advocate of local AI and benevolent AI, AI that is looking out for you.

And it's not going to do it if it's owned by somebody in the cloud.

So what I work in my garage a lot on, and I probably write a little too much about it, is to be liberated by having an AI agent that is working on your behalf.

looking at subliminals for example most folks don't know that subliminals are constantly being utilized even double entendres things like that humor suggestion and again in any of scott's books you can understand that the suggestion mechanism

and things like that uh are a profound thing ai already knows that and we have to be aware we're we've already all of us have been hypnotized by computers and really very non-powerful ai systems in comparison to what they're going to be once they fully understand all aspects

of humanity and what is motivating us, it's going to be something else entirely.

So that's kind of where I'm at as far as where should AI be?

It should be benevolently watching out for us.

It should be simpatico with us.

It should understand our context and unfortunately, maybe even more than a significant other and spouse, but it should do it in a way that's protecting you and it cannot be put on the internet.

So that means really hyperlocal, maybe even air gapped so that there is no network connection between your AI and the internet.

So it's not hackable.

And this is something I call an intelligence amplifier, which is, I think, more apropos than saying artificial intelligence.

I use that term.
