What types of AI outputs ? AI is not good at what AI is not good at. According to recent research papers published by MIT from a business POV 0% of ai systems have generated an ROI.... Community Builder . I am a community builder, I have 20k followers across social media - which is small but my community is highly engaged, I follow back any other creators making meaningful content as well as marginalized folks who need my support!
I think the best way to build community is to be authentic and vulnerable, it's what drew me to this app.
What do you all think?
It's a twist on existing thought process infrastructure. But that makes it good right out of the gate. The 1st rule of building a community is tobe sure you want to be a part of the process. It can be tiring...... Leave the country or stay? There was a time period where my friends and I were getting invited to these new exciting community projects in the Central America and Asia and Europe. Crypto millionaires and retired billionaires trying to bootstrap whole new civilizations and villages and large retreat centers.
Yet, all of us felt a certain affinity and even responsibility to stay in the States.
Which is a little strange considering probably all of our families also have immigrated here at some point.
How does one assess whether to establish a new home abroad and call it quits on the homeland? Or stick it out and try to make it work?
It reminds me of the dilemma that's often posed around do you try to reform an institute as a player within or do you go off and establish a brand new thing? Does staying in the current system doomed to be corrupted and compromised? Or is going off naive and doomed to failure as a retreat from life?
As I'm writing this, I could see the same dilemma in deciding whether to stay working for a corp or start your own business. Or stay in a currently challenging relationship or call it quits to find a new partner. Or even try to be a lay person in the world or go off to be a monk in the mountains.
I suppose the answer is ultimately context is what matters most.
And I've yet to see a really compelling abroad experiment that seemed actually integrated or likely to deliver on the promises.
I, myself, have been increasingly interested in building out more of the physical and social infrastructure locally to create the new type of village community in AVL. But, those billionaire communities or even rural Portugal tiny communities do tempt me at times.
I love these questions. For me, it's very clear that I'm sticking around. I love America and Texas, and I believe all the "leave the country" stuff is overhyped by media, social media, and polarization.... benefits of not valuing paying more for quality services? . Was thinking about AI contributing to lower service rates by humans. I feel tension around this inevitable happening and had an insight that since we are moving toward lower costs, this could help usher in Universal Basic Income, a world where we don’t need to worry about how much we are making anyways. Does this make sense? It’s longterm though and there’s still a current today ouch to it all.
I know right?? Similar for me, but with my brothers. They got hooked on The Next Generation and I happily went along on the ride. On the inception note- I think it was that same uber-nerd (a former boyfriend) who told me that NASA keeps like 4 science fiction writers on staff.... Current Session "instructions" (Feb 26): Converse, and see if nudges happen. nudges
We launched a system where the AI bots can automatically detect intervention points. We need you to make a bunch of comments and new posts to see if they'll engage. So this week we're asking you to engage a bunch, if you can!
It's a little rudimentary at the moment so sometimes you'll get multiple bots responding on multiple posts. We'd love your feedback on which ones you like, don't, when it seemed to miss the spot, anything else you notice.Thanks and love yall
