I actually took inspiration from your KZbin transcript download video and built an entire Flask app with web interface and everything. It only dawned on me when I was going to ship it live that there might be some copyright issues if people decided to download other people's transcripts. It was a fun exercise though. I was going to throw ads on it and make a little money that way.

[@executivelifehacks6747]

An AI-based executive assistant would be great. Something to regulate an ADHD brain, get us back on track, with the goals that we set it. So it talks to us, knows all our emails, listens to our conversations, and basically "groks" us. Initially we do all the human interaction (it does drafts), but as we trust (and as it runs locally, with our data), we can delegate more to it. Basically turning ourselves into hyperoptimal cyborg CEOs or executives. How do you think we get there, David? No doubt, Microsoft is envisaging this sort of thing with MS Co-Pilot, which I've yet to use. I think that it would likely need access to: 1) What is said, i.e. audio (microphone or linked into android sound) 2) Visual (ala Google Glass) 3) Your phone, and 4) Your work computer Seems like both MS and Google (or Apple for the iPhone users) have most of the domain. Some apple users will have all of it, presumably. Indeed Apple is likely to have the largest demographic in a complete walled garden, and be in prime position to integrate. I get the feeling that multi-modal AI capability that is equivalent to Claude 3 Opus, will be effectively common/FOSS by 2026, maybe earlier. I suspect "smart enough" + massive context window + integration with your digital life + First Person POV AV will be the prerequisites. This is not so much a business that I would start (as I suspect it's fairly obvious for MS/Apple/Google) but it's a product I want. Especially if it can be run locally. I want uncensored too, so I can tell it what I really think. And adequate backup. And a pony. And more vespene gas

Idea 2: CEO-AI sounds superb, give it a dedicated phone number, an email account, LinkedIn account, persistent memory and all the company's plans and data. Set yourself as the board. This is a Artificial Human Intelligence Level project. Though with this sensitive data i would only do it if it runs locally and completely transparent & private.

[@intellectfactory]

Going forward, will "board of members" cease to exists? And instead we'll have CEO bots in their place? Assuming most of the work done by executives is decision-making(which they are) I think you're right. AI just needs to evolve into a better decision-maker and we can just hire a bot to run our company. Sam Altman's prediction that soon we'll have a billion dollar business run by one person seems plausible after all!

Whenever I hear the term "oversaturated" I feel like it comes from a scarcity mindset. I am reminded of how in 2009 we thought it was impossible to start a vlog on KZbin because it was already so saturated. And now, I see people starting their own channels and making $10k per month. So, the idea of a market being oversaturated comes from a limited belief system. Robotics, while you are correct the hardware end of it is difficult, has barely begun to scratch the surface of capabilities and future deployment. This is an area I firmly believe will explode in the next 5-10 years. Huge growth potential especially with embodied AI.

[@ayanbanerjee7479]

It was not oversaturated in 2009 what are you talking about i have regret that I didn't start KZbin channel in 2019 and you are taking about 2009 when most of the emerging market like India had no idea about KZbin, Vlogging etc. Even the most popular channels around the world and western world started between 2010-2015.

[@aaronhhill]

@@ayanbanerjee7479 KZbin came out in 2005, and by 2009 'we thought' it was oversaturated. Not to say that it was, because obviously it wasn't. So, as I stated previously, whenever I hear someone say 'oversaturated' I reminded of that situation and say, nothing is ever oversaturated. The key words here being "we thought" and that was all us guys watching the rise in popularity of KZbin, and Vine and others.

As a game designer I'm most closely looking at the ability to generate bespoke entertainment. As you said, it's not quite there yet, but I don't know that there is actually a business opportunity here. There might be a brief window where tools built on top of foundation models can generate content that the foundation models can't generate on their own, but I feel like that window will quickly close and make those tools obsolete as the foundation models gain the capability to generate bespoke content that previously required specialized tools.

[@BrianIsWatching]

An idea I have entertained is AI toys. Chatbots are fun but how do you interact with them in the real world in a way that's affordable to the average person? You connect an AI app to a toy robot or plushie and it responds to its surroundings. The physical robotics side of it would be pretty simple, technology we've had for decades.

[@SirCaptCooter]

In the same vein as the AI CEO I had a similar idea when creating my custom GPT based on Brian Greene’s books (48 laws of power etc). It’s power broker on the GPT store.

I feed it the situation in detail and It gives me the logic behind what I should do and cites the laws and rules from each of his books that are relevant to the situation.

Here is a suggestion of a project, albeit maybe not a company that you could start with low energy, low capital, and limited time. First Google VASSAL Now VASSAL is open source and is built using JAVA. Now the project is to integrate ChatGPT's and AI in general into VASSAL. And one can use that in VASSAL for three (no four) things. 1. Design a game in VASSAL 2. Integrate the game rules into VASSAL 3. Use those rules to build a player AI 4. Use the AI to add chrome to the game. like personalities, messages, imbedded journalist, etc. And this can be used not just to enhance board games but can be used to train bots as well in that virtual sims (e.g. a board game) can be used as a world model for AI.

[@RonLWilson]

BTW, as far as a business goes, once one has figured out how to do this, some of the game companies might hire you to do that for their games.

[@Noqtis]

the f*** does that even mean: imbedded journalist? And games with AI personalities doesn't exist yet. So you have no base to build upon. It's not even save those will ever find mainstream success and in which form. A company tried to make such a game would want to built it on their own so they can tailor it to their specific game. for example one game might want a whole AI narrative, others would want only side dialogues to be AI and others would want that AI to do totally other stuff. It's also unclear if that even works for let's say side dialogues. because when a random npc can say everything, he doesn't say anything at all. so there is a huge question mark if this technology even makes the player engage more with the game or if it leads to disengagement. there is surely a way how to implement AI successfully into a video game but how that looks like no one knows yet.

[@RonLWilson]

Aside from me misspelling embedded one can Google KSTP Embedded Journalists 2003 Gulf War to see what an embedded journalist is and does. They serve sport of like a sportscaster does in a football or baseball game Thus the AI could report on what is happening in the game from a given perspective. And in regard to personalities like is a commander aggressive, timid, or has some other attributes that might affect play. plus some chrome like adding some dialog and such like take cover! or Run for your lives! and such.@@Noqtis

Outsource the CEO seems to be the best IMHO. (The others are either fully dependent on government regulations that is driven by big corporations or are already on the radar of Disney/Netflix). Every small company I worked at or collaborated had great scientists and engineers but nobody wanted to do the CEO job and the CEO's they hired where mediocre at best and would derail the business concept due to their own biases. Right now AI can't do it but by the time this business os up it can. And for the foreseeable future the AI CEO's need to be trained/coached/supervised according to the industry or technology or service they are in. So there is lots of room for multiple companies with specific strength and support networks.

Where you need to survey an area, an AI operated drone that can identify if something is wrong or if not cover a large area and give an all clear report is a cheap and elegant solution. Btw, I think your local securities market idea is brilliant.

"personalized TV and music"... ... "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn't Stop To Think If They Should"... Ok, I got mixed feelings about it

[@tomaszzielinski4521]

Personalized virtual reality, like in Matrix ^^'

[@OfficialChatbotBuilder]

Yup and our co-creators are creating at least 3 out of these 4 concepts. Right on the money.

[@uk7769]

thank you for sharing your thoughts on this incredible time in history. im excited and terrified at the same time. worst implementation of a new technology in all human history.

[@ryzikx]

isnt this whole content creation thing basically a business

[@DaveShap]

I mean technically, but not everyone wants to just create a youtube or tiktok business

These are neat ideas but you're not thinking big enough imo... Education, tutoring and training done right with AI could transform all forms of learning overnight, accelerating everything you mentioned here at the same time.

[@DaveShap]

I didn't mention that because it's ultra obvious and going to happen organically - and it's already saturated.

[@KalebPeters99]

@@DaveShap Yess, I thought the combative tone might get a reply 😅 Yeah you're right, it's definitely pretty well saturated, though I feel like you'd have a unique angle worth exploring...

9:17 Thank you for the content but I would have to say my heroes in both music and film would disagree completely with you. And so would I. Maybe in the next few generations once art has been taken over completely by monetary incentives. I could see kids growing up in this world and accepting it simply because they haven't been exposed to anything else. But is that better for society in general? Because US has embraced some technologies we already see more than other countries that the level of education of the general population is simply higher because they have held onto values and their culture. Back when I went to high school, I was taking AP math courses but they had to make special AP courses that were beyond college-level for the Russian freshmen coming in.

Idea #3 im pretty sure netflix and co dont want to be the new blockbusters, so they're probably gonna have gen entertainment, but it will be filled with obvious to subtle influences. I really hope to be in charge of what i and my kids will watch, so ill use transparent and privacy focused, ideally opensource, trusted, and pay providers that run it.

AI is missing wisdom. I'm not sure it will ever get it no matter how powerful you make it. To achieve wisdom you need to be connected to god / higher intelligence and for that, you need to be CONSCIOUS Wisdom will give you game-changers. Anything like AI that's stuck in the material realm can only remix things in the material realm

[@totoroben]

You are right, but current models as they are today can be leveraged in a way to enhance the wisdom and direction of those who use them. For instance, and I'm going to be very broad, if you have an idea, the AI can help you formulate your idea, can help you train to get the necessary skills to bring up your idea, can help you identify experts who could help you to bring onto your team, and with these subject matter experts using the AI, can guide it with more precision and understanding to keep moving towards your idea.

[@totoroben]

Search engines have us access to information, but quick retrieval and correlation, even at the current level where AI is allows building momentum towards a goal, like humans can only do so much with the time we have, but the momentum comes in instantaneous retrieval of relevant information.

[@rg1360]

@totoroben Yes, I don't doubt that when someone gets a light-bulb moment AI and existing tech can aid and supercharge the implementation of said idea. I just can't see AI coming up with these light-bulb moments, yes it will spot patterns which massively helps with research. The advances will be significant given today's automation tech can now be supercharged. The music AI has come up with are remixes at a finer granular level than your conventional track remix. It doesn't tap into fresh emotional wisdom and originality. This appears to only come from God/ higher intelligence.

[@DaveShap]

This is arbitrary anthropocentrism and human exceptionalism. It will not age well.

[@rg1360]

@DaveShap I don't only attribute it to humans. There may very well be advanced species throughout the universe. My view is they've advanced because they're conscious and therefore connected to a greater intelligence/god. Disclaimer My version of god is not a Zeus-like patriarchal daddy dictator like most of the churches would have you believe.

[@ReubenAStern]

Politicians as a service? Going by the UKs new Guidelines you're a terrorist for even suggesting that. Saying that, AI has the potential to be better at politics than humans. Woops! MI5's gonna kick down my door any minute now!

[@heshanlahiru2120]

I don't think personalised is the correct word. Because if you know what's going to happen you don't consume that Can we just not forget the nature of human and animal and stop acting like it doesn't exist. Because in long term that's going to drive us to extinction
