Powerful Personal Branding Prompts: Using ChatGPT To Build An Influential Online Presence
The Myth of Neutrality Countries Will Have to Choose Between America and China ........ This is not a choice that most countries wish to make. Over the past decades, foreign capitals have come to enjoy security and economic benefits from association with both the United States and China. These countries know that joining a coherent political-economic bloc would mean forgoing major benefits from their ties to the other superpower. ....... The message to Washington and Beijing is clear: no country wants to be forced into a binary decision between the two powers. ........ The United States has hastened to reassure its allies that it feels much the same. .......... Even the United States would not join such an arrangement if it required ending its economic relationship with China, which would come at a tremendous cost. ........... The U.S.-Chinese competition is an inescapable feature of today’s world, and Washington should stop pretending otherwise. ............ Washington played hardball. The Trump administration even went as far as to suggest to Poland that future U.S. troop deployments might be at risk if Warsaw worked with Huawei. The U.S. government warned Germany that Washington would limit intelligence sharing if Berlin welcomed Huawei; not long after, the Chinese ambassador to Germany promised retaliation against German companies if Berlin barred Huawei. Europe’s largest economy was caught between its top two trading partners. ........... The Biden administration has signaled its desire to outstrip China in the development and production of semiconductors, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, biomanufacturing, and clean energy technologies. To do so, Washington will need to build domestic capacity in each area and limit China’s ability to race ahead. Countries with niche capabilities will be caught between Beijing, which wants these technologies, and Washington, which wants to minimize Chinese access to them......... Already, Washington and Beijing are competing for the loyalties of Pacific Island states, although the contest in countries like the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Papua New Guinea has thus far produced a bidding war rather than a series of forced choices. .......... U.S. threats to cut countries off from intelligence sharing if they used Huawei—which supplied an all-in-one 5G network at a lower cost than anything the West could provide—were ineffective. ............ A sense, however, that the United States will be absent, noncommittal, or incompetent when the going gets tough will tempt them to align with or simply acquiesce to China’s preferences.

ChatGPT and Bard Get New AI Chatbot Rival: Anthropic Debuts Claude 2 The new AI chatbot is available to people in the US and UK in open beta. Here's how to try it.
Claude 2 Claude 2 scores above the 90th percentile on the GRE reading and writing exams, and similarly to the median applicant on quantitative reasoning....... Think of Claude as a friendly, enthusiastic colleague or personal assistant who can be instructed in natural language to help you with many tasks. ........ Users can input up to 100K tokens in each prompt, which means that Claude can work over hundreds of pages of technical documentation or even a book. Claude can now also write longer documents - from memos to letters to stories up to a few thousand tokens - all in one go. ....... One of our partners is Jasper ........ They found that Claude 2 was able to go head to head with other state of the art models for a wide variety of use cases, but has particular strength for long form low latency uses. "We are really happy to be among the first to offer Claude 2 to our customers, bringing enhanced semantics, up-to-date knowledge training, improved reasoning for complex prompts, and the ability to effortlessly remix existing content with a 3X larger context window"
. We’ve expanded Claude’s context window from 9K to 100K tokens, corresponding to around
75,000 words!
This means businesses can now submit hundreds of pages of materials for Claude to digest and analyze, and conversations with Claude can go on for hours or even days. .......... The average person can read 100,000 tokens of text in ~5+ hours[1], and then they might need substantially longer to digest, remember, and analyze that information. Claude can now do this in less than a minute. ......... You can drop multiple documents or even a book into the prompt and then ask Claude questions that require synthesis of knowledge across many parts of the text. ........ Claude can follow your instructions and return what you’re looking for, as a human assistant would! ....... 100K translates into roughly 6 hours of audio ......... Assess the pros and cons of a piece of legislation ......... Rapidly prototype by dropping an entire codebase into the context and intelligently build on or modify itMy software businesses will generate over $4 million in 2023.

On giving AI eyes and ears AI can listen and see, with bigger implications than we might realize. .
Power and Weirdness: How to Use Bing AI Bing AI is a huge leap over ChatGPT, but you have to learn its quirks ...... Bing adds something special - it is connected to the internet. ......... Bing is at its most powerful, and most different from ChatGPT, when it is looking up data and connecting diverse sets of information together. It is often a startling good data analyst, marketer, and general business companion. ........ I would also warn teachers that Bing is much more capable than ChatGPT, as it is capable of drawing interesting connections between unusual topics (I think I asked for the first essay ever comparing themes in Avatar and Hamlet, and it did a good job!). If ChatGPT got a B- in many classes, Bing is likely to get an A-. ..........
Bing is immensely more powerful than ChatGPT, but also a lot weirder to use
.It is starting to get strange. Let's talk about ChatGPT with Code Interpreter & Microsoft Copilot ........ Code Interpreter is GPT-4 with three new capabilities: the AI can read files you upload (up to 100MB), it can let you download files, and it lets the AI run its own Python code. This may not seem like a huge advance, but, in practice, it is pretty stunning. And it works incredibly well without any technical knowledge or ability
(I cannot code in Python, but I don’t need to).
........... Code Interpreter has turned GPT into a first-rate data analyst. ....... It is capable of independently looking at a dataset, figuring out what is interesting, developing an analytical strategy, cleaning data, testing its strategy, adjusting to errors, and offering advice based on its results. .......... I think we are going to see massive changes coming to academic publishing soon, as journals struggle under the weight of these sorts of real, but automatically generated, papers. .How to... use ChatGPT to boost your writing The key to using generative AI successfully is prompt-crafting ......... isn’t a human that you are giving instructions to. It is a machine you are programming with words. ........ I do this myself, saying “please” and “thank you” in my requests, even though the AI doesn’t care. ........... they need to spend time doing “prompt engineering:” editing and playing with prompts to come up with the results they want. These prompts can get very elaborate, and can often seem abstract, or almost poetic. .......... More elaborate and specific prompts work better. .......... write an essay with the following points. use an academic tone. use at least one clear example. make it concise. write for a well-informed audience. use a style like the New Yorker. make it at least 7 paragraphs. vary the language in each one. end with an ominous note. -Humans are prone to error -Most errors are not that important -In complex systems, some errors are catastrophic -Catastrophes cannot be avoided ........... Often, the best option is to give ChatGPT amnesia: start a new chat and try again. ........ You will get different results from asking for an academic essay versus a persuasive article versus a blog post versus a corporate memo. ......... You can have the AI play characters by prompting it to think of itself as a chef, or a novelist, or Plato. This can lead to delightful results. ....... ChatGPT it is far from the all-knowing AI that the movies taught us to expect. But as a tool to jumpstart your own writing, multiply your productivity, and to help overcome the inertia associated with staring at a blank page, it is amazing. ....... .
Russia says Wagner Group’s leader will move to Belarus after his rebellious march challenged Putin Switching into Russian in his daily video address, Zelenskyy said “the man from the Kremlin” was “very afraid.” He repeated his calls for the West to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets and ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles........ In announcing the rebellion, Prigozhin accused Russian forces of attacking the Wagner camps in Ukraine with rockets, helicopter gunships and artillery. He alleged that Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff, ordered the attacks following a meeting with Shoigu in which they decided to destroy the military contractor. ....... “Russian troops in Ukraine may well now be operating in a vacuum, without clear military instructions, and doubts about whom to obey and follow,″ Lutsevych said. “This creates a unique and unprecedented military opportunity for the Ukrainian army.” ..... Latvia and Estonia, two NATO countries that border Russia, said they were increasing security at their borders.
Russian mercenary boss Prigozhin to move to Belarus under Wagner deal, Kremlin says
Wagner chief Prigozhin says he's accepted truce brokered by Belarus Prigozhin said on his official Telegram channel that he had agreed to turn his mercenary forces back, "realizing all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be shed." He said his forces had marched to within 120 miles of Moscow without shedding a "single drop of the blood of our fighters." ....... Wagner troops had "seized another city halfway to Moscow."
Rebel Russian mercenaries turn back short of Moscow 'to avoid bloodshed' Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Putin ally and founder of the Wagner army, said his men reached within 125 miles (200 km) of the capital. Earlier, Moscow deployed soldiers in preparation for their arrival and told residents to avoid going out. ....... The Wagner fighters captured the city of Rostov hundreds of miles to the south before racing in convoy through the country, transporting tanks and armoured trucks and smashing through barricades set up to stop them ......... "Understanding ... that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our columns around and going back to field camps as planned." ........ Lukashenko had offered to mediate because he had known the mercenary leader personally for around 20 years. ........ Wagner's lightning insurrection appeared to develop with little pushback from Russia's regular armed forces, raising questions about Putin's hold on power in the nuclear-armed nation even after the abrupt halt to Wagner's advance. Earlier, Prigozhin said that what he called a "march for justice" was intended to remove corrupt and incompetent Russian commanders he blames for botching the war in Ukraine. ...... In a televised address from the Kremlin, Putin earlier said the Wagner rebellion put Russia's very existence under threat. .......
Mafia is as mafia does. Whatever deal was reached today, blood has been spilled and Putin's illusion of invincibility is gone. He and his cronies tasted real fear. Moscow was threatened. https://t.co/3QoDY17uba

OpenAI Grant Application
We're launching ten $100,000 grants for building prototypes of a democratic process for steering AI. Our goal is to fund experimentation with methods for gathering nuanced feedback from everyone on how AI should behave. Apply by June 24, 2023: https://t.co/kJG2bNnons

The Broad Idea Of AI100
OpenAI is not the largest, or the most monied player in the space, but it is that nimble player that brought AI to the masses, and thus it falls upon OpenAI to lead the way on AI regulation. Sam Altman's proposal of an AI version of the IAEA falls both long and short. It is apt in that AI also is potentially existential. But it falls short in that at the end of the day IAEA was just a bunch of bureacrats, not some kind of a mass based approach.
I propose the creation of an AI100, a global consortium of the top AI companies in the world by market cap that will all meet annually in person, and will communicate thorughout the year to propose and pass regulations that will then be up to each national parliament to adopt.
Unless the most pro-active approaches are taken for AI regulation globally, the biggest benefits can not be harvested.
If you think you are only your body, then a Cheetah is a big problem. It will outrun you every single time. A car is a problem. It runs fast. A rocket is a huge problem.
So what are you? Body? Body and mind? The answer to that question is as ancient as wisdom. Body, mind, heart and soul.
All the existential anxieties are soul level challenges. The eternal struggle between right and wrong, because you have free will as created by God.
AI is already faster than a human being in how fast it composes sentences. But that is no different than a bicycle, or a motorbike, or a car, a rocket, moving faster than your legs.
You are not your body. You are not your mind. You are your soul.
Faster is not the threat. Maybe GPT-10 will help solve global warming. Maybe advanced AI will simply talk to each other and serve humanity.
There is the promise of abundance if the AI regulation can be handled well. The impending Age Of Abundance was promised in the scriptures thousands of years ago.
The Grassroots Campaign
I would be happy to represent OpenAI at the AI 100. I will use the grant money of 100K as seed money with which to build a global voting mechanism for ordinary peoples everywhere. Dysfunctional governments unrepresentative of their peoples can not be expected to rise up to the challenge of AI regualtion.
My Political Background
I was Barack Obama's first full-time volunteer in all of New York City. https://barackface.net/
I was the only full-timer among the then-estimated 200,000 Nepalis across the US to have worked for Nepal's democracy movement in 2005-06 and that was a grand success. I could do the same for Russia. Ukraine 2004 was my inspiration. http://democracyfornepal.com/
I won an election in the US South almost a decade before Bobby Jindal, although mine was smaller. I got elected student body president at the number one liberal arts college in the South within six months of landing as an international student.
My Spiritual Background
I am Jesus come back as promised, my identity verifiable through prophecies fulfilled, miracles performed and well-documented, and the clarity of my mission, the work I am here to do, which is the answer to the 2,000-year-old prayer Thy Kingdom Come. God's direct rule on all of the earth will have been established in 22 years by the clock. This age will end, and a new age will begin and last thousands of years. The Holy Father Himself is on erth in human incarnation. He is the long awaited Messiah of the Jews. Hindus have been waiting for Him for 5,000 years. http://jesusisback.xyz/
All of you are God's children. I just happen to be the firstborn. And right now I am fully human.

I don’t get folk who say there is no existential risk from AGI.
— Emad (@EMostaque) May 20, 2023
Do y’all have no imagination?
There’s so many ways to wipe out humanity for something that can be more persuasive than anyone & replicate itself & gather any resources
Enslavement, end of democracy more likely ofc
Is that why you are open-sourcing it? :)
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) May 20, 2023
Make AGI for selling ads and you’ll have an AGI optimised for manipulating and controlling people
— Emad (@EMostaque) May 20, 2023
Probably not good outcomes from that.
Not really AGI could reasonably take over any and all organisations in the world
— Emad (@EMostaque) May 20, 2023
Then it can do whatever from wiping us out to utopia likely
At the very least AGI will end democracy one way or another
Feed models better food focus on making them like educate kids and other cool stuff

Manhattan Project was 130k people and $24b over three years
— Emad (@EMostaque) May 20, 2023
It was a far more tractable problem than AI alignment and mitigating existential risk in many ways.
If you want real AI alignment all the folk working on this should optimise it to teach every kid in the world. https://t.co/JHAmpTOrMJ
I like the sound of this.

There will be no edge in talent in AI

There will be no edge in compute in AI
There will be no edge in models in AI
Will be
Data
Distribution
Integration
Google et al will drive generalised AI to zero marginal cost & we will make open variants of cutting edge open & available https://t.co/ys6U7ygwQG

regulation should take effect above a capability threshold.
— Sam Altman (@sama) May 18, 2023
AGI safety is really important, and frontier models should be regulated.
regulatory capture is bad, and we shouldn't mess with models below the threshold. open source models and small startups are obviously important. https://t.co/qdWHHFjX4s

Can we speed up language model training with a better data mixture?
— Quoc Le (@quocleix) May 18, 2023
Our DoReMi🎶 algorithm optimizes the data mixture, speeding up 8B model training by 2.6x on The Pile.
Crucially, DoReMi🎶 just trains a small model (30x smaller) to tune the mixture.https://t.co/cj4GiA2KSC pic.twitter.com/OkZNrgEWgz

A NYT article on the debate around whether LLM base models should be closed or open.
— Yann LeCun (@ylecun) May 18, 2023
Meta argues for openness, starting with the release of LLaMA (for non-commercial use), while OpenAI and Google want to keep things closed and proprietary.
They argue that openness can be…
Everybody says regulation. Elon Musk. Sam Altman. You. Diamandis. But can we get into the details now? What exactly?
— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) May 20, 2023
I think we should be clear: the worst case, downside risk of AGI is existential, ie end of humanity as noted here: https://t.co/cbeuHeGcJs

On the way it is reasonable to believe an AGI as defined by big labs would end democracy

Same tbh I did some really interesting/seemingly impressive things but never really kicked on until ADHD diagnosis/medication last year.

The impact of most ADHD meds can often be seen in a few days and that makes waiting or years for a diagnosis even crazier. https://t.co/GrSGIXTtBU

Bard
ChatGPT has now a big problem.
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Google just updated its free competitor, Bard.
Here are 8 things impossible on ChatGPT but that Bard can do (for free):
Just before we start:
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Bard is a competitor to ChatGPT with many advantages.
→ Completely free to use
→ Connected to the internet in real time
→ Accessible in 180 countries since yesterday
As a reminder the knowledge of ChatGPT ends in 2021.
🔗 https://t.co/RABF2UYgRI
1. Search on the internet
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
ChatGPT has not yet released the internet search to the general public.
But Bard already has access to it and is connected in real time.
Prompt → What was the name of the last SpaceX rocket that exploded? pic.twitter.com/KDWSEjvVcY
2. Voice input
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
You can talk to Bard instead of writing to it.
It will save you a lot of time. pic.twitter.com/ZuS0OHJfw9
2. Voice input
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023

It will save you a lot of time. pic.twitter.com/ZuS0OHJfw9
3. Export the generated text
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Unlike ChatGPT, you can directly export a response in 2 clicks.
You can even export it as an email. pic.twitter.com/GN9DFq7ulp
4. Making summaries of web pages
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
As Bard has access to the internet you can ask it any question about a site.
Very useful to make summaries or understand complex subjects.
Prompt → Could you write the summary of this article? (your link) pic.twitter.com/ezjSKAGFL2
5. Provide multiple drafts of its response
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Bard automatically generates 3 versions of the same answer.
If you don't like the proposed version, you can choose another one. pic.twitter.com/zAgFZaCU0x
6. Explain code
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Give a link to Bard and ask it a question about a file.
It'll be able to explain what it's for and how it works.
Prompt → Can you explain what is the file agent py in this repo? (your link) pic.twitter.com/r0BAro9lh9
7. See searches related to your prompt
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Bard suggests you Google searches to go further.
This allows you to quickly check the sources unlike ChatGPT. pic.twitter.com/FmxsqgRV5g
8. Plan your trips
— Paul.ai (@itsPaulAi) May 11, 2023
Bard is able to find for you the best places to visit.
ChatGPT can do this too but is not up to date with the latest things to see.
Prompt → I am planning a trip to Tokyo. What are the little known places I should visit? pic.twitter.com/Oz9tKJQHwA
That's a wrap! Hope this was helpful!
