There is ​a new rhythm emerging.

It's a rhythm driven not by the charm of salespeople or the allure of pitches, but by the cold, precise calculations of Artificial Intelligence.

As I reflect on this transformative era, I'm reminded of my academic days and the ever-evolving landscape of workplace innovations.

​Historically, the sales process was a structured sequence, a dance of sorts. It began with the identification of a potential lead and culminated in the closing of a deal. This dance was heavily reliant on human intuition, the ability to read between the lines, to sense a potential buyer's hesitations, and to craft a persuasive narrative that would sway them.

​Key Takeaways:

• Companies actively harness AI's human-like personas to captivate younger users.
• Infusing personality into AI systems directly amplifies user experience and trust.
• This AI design revolution actively reshapes human-machine interaction dynamics.

​In the quantum realm, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

​The same principle applies to the labor market, where the ongoing writers' strike represents a futile resistance against the inevitable tide of artificial intelligence (AI).  ​

​As the world grapples with the ethical and economic implications of AI, the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America have been on strike for over three months, protesting the "widespread misuse of generative artificial intelligence" (Times Delphic).

The Quantum Leap of AI
While it was incorrect to state that all newspapers are hiring AI for journalism, the influence of AI in content creation is undeniable.

The Salesforce Study: A New Perspective

A recent study by Salesforce titled "The Future of AI and Society" reveals that AI adoption varies across generations, but the technology's potential to serve as a common language is undeniable.

​The study suggests that while older generations may be slower to adopt AI, they are not resistant to its benefits. In fact, 72% of respondents aged 55 and above believe that AI can improve society, a sentiment echoed by 85% of those aged 18-34.​

The Singularity of Remote Work: A Case Study

Another intriguing perspective comes from an article on "The Death of The Copier," which discusses the end of generational gaps through the singularity of remote work.

The article states, "ChatGPT(AI) is a linguistic program that is changing the way everything gets done, regardless of age." It further elaborates that for the first time in history, we have five generations of labor in the office, each with different mindsets and expectations.

​Yet, AI is leveling the playing field, enabling people from different age groups to collaborate more closely toward a shared objective of generating value for their respective organizations.

In a dimly lit café, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of old books, a group of writers huddled around their laptops. They were the modern-day scribes, the keepers of stories and the shapers of public opinion.

​Yet, as they passionately discussed the ongoing Writers' Strike, demanding better pay and job security, I couldn't help but feel a sense of impending obsolescence in the air.

Executive Bullet Points

• The hybrid work model is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it comes with its own set of challenges, including mixed scheduling and redundant technologies.
• Technology can play a pivotal role in mitigating the negative side effects of remote work, such as burnout and reduced productivity.
• The future of work is flexible, but it requires a delicate balance to ensure both productivity and employee well-being.

​Three Key Takeaways:

1. Proprietary AI language models like GPT-4 and PaLM 2 are setting new standards in quality.
2. Building your own proprietary language models is a Herculean task, often leading to subpar results.
3. Open-domain models are lagging behind, both in terms of power and adaptability.

​A force for good?

​In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the co-founder of OpenAI provided a glimpse into the intricate world of large language models (LLMs), focusing on the operational mechanics of models like ChatGPT and the potential threats associated with their open-source nature. This interview uncovered key insights into the delicate balance between technological advancement and security within the realm of artificial intelligence.

​The Locked-Up Digital Brains
At the heart of the conversation lies the core mechanics of LLMs – the loading of a potent AI model onto a secure server. The metaphorical opening of the AI player allows users to type queries and receive responses, creating an interactive experience. However, what sets this technology apart is the robust security measures implemented to protect the digital brain, a creation necessitating a significant investment of $100 million.

​Lama Two and the Open Source Dilemma
Meta's unveiling of Lama Two brings forth the dilemma surrounding open-source AI models. Unlike traditional open-source software, these models are not merely insecure; they are insecureable. The interview delves into the challenges posed by open-sourcing advanced AI models, emphasizing the inability to control or prevent unauthorized modifications once the digital brain is released into the open internet.
