Omniscient

Does AI need to be omniscient?

Would it not be possible for it to say: I don’t know. Or: this information might be incorrect. Or: do you mean this or that? Or: I don’t have enough information. Or: I need your help to get to this answer.

Why are we building arrogance within a tool that is supposed to expand our mind?

Life

Your life is as it is, there’s no point in making it sound larger, more exciting, eventful, and a total success.

Own it, instead, and give it the direction you want it to have.

You’ll never get there in a straight line, but you’ll be more at ease with the surroundings, wherever you’ll find yourself.

Good and bad

The good news it that you are in charge. You choose what to do, how to spend the day, what to eat, how frequently to exercise, how to spin the story, what people you go out with, how to get back up after a bad fall.

The bad news is that there is no excuse.

You are not

You are not what you do when you have the money. When you are relaxed, you have bandwidth, you hear people cheering for you. You are not what you do when you are on top, at your best, well-dressed. You are not what you do when you have all the options and no stake in the outcome.

You are you especially when there’s no choice. That’s where your true you is.

Those moments are precious.

It’s us

We want a job to seek stability, and then we want to leave that job to seek freedom.

We pursue relationships to seek companionships, and then we want to leave those relationships behind because we feel like we lost ourselves.

We follow a passion to seek fulfilment, and then we want to abandon that passion to catch up with all the achievements we had stopped pursuing.

It’s not them. It’s not the job, the relationships, the passion.

It’s us.
