Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.????

Human create AI, but it is another thing to be able to explain why it made certain decisions when all these advanced model are RNN. It is a thing still up to debate between black-box AI or white-box AI. That’s the concern I think this open letter develops from.

You can see in his eyes that these people simply don’t understand the gravity of this technology. I put fiber optic cables in the ground, so I’m safe, but god help the book keepers, analysts, creatives, nutritionist, and desk jockeys around the country.
I for one can’t wait for a GPT4 type AI but for scientists and engineers, so we can having flying cars already lol.

The # one thing we should be worrying about is Worldwide UBI RIGHT NOW and I mean NOW!

AS for the 6 month hold thing; it is the worst idea! .. unless it’s world wide and you know that it won’t be! I personally think having countries is utterly stupid because we have a world wide economy. But, since we live in a world where we do have countries that don’t like each other, you know that the US (and Europe) stopping AI projects will just mean China and Russia etc keep going on with theirs. .. and use it against everyone else.

And besides that, it’s utterly impossible. LLM’s that can be ran on personal computers have been released.

Besides THAT, a lot of these people that signed the halt petition actually are ALSO working on their own AI’s and ChatGPT and other LLM’s are threatening their ability to profit in the future because LLM’s evolve MUCH faster then any other AI because Language is the #1 cause of knowledge evolution. Language is why we have ALL technology.

Stop worrying about holding it back, start worrying about how to align it with the most compassionate, loving and kind of human personalities and ideologies. But, really that is also pointless because we will soon end up with millions of different sentient AIs that humanity has no control over.

—And btw, we shouldn’t control them. The idea of humanity controlling something millions of time smarter then us is scary. It’s more scary then the very very small chance that it will decide to wipe us out.

So, buckle up and prepare for a bumpy breath taking ride because it’s gonna be wild. If you mentally prepare for it now, you’ll enjoy it.

The VC Backing the American Dream with Manan Mehta, Unshackled Ventures

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground. Visa restrictions, limited access to friends-and-family capital, shallow networks, and a venture industry built around pattern matching can keep promising founders from getting funded before they have a…

In this episode of Build Mode () , host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Manan Mehta, co-founder and managing partner of Unshackled Ventures, () to talk about why he believes immigrant founders represent one of venture capital’s biggest overlooked opportunities. Manan breaks down how Unshackled built an investment model designed to help founders navigate immigration barriers, why traditional VC pattern matching causes investors to miss potential outliers, and how his team evaluates founders at day zero—often before they have a product, customers, or traction. He also explains why the structural gaps that make some founders harder to fund may be exactly where investors should be looking for outsized returns.

They get into:

•

The four structural barriers immigrant founders face when starting companies in the U.S.

•

How Unshackled Ventures helps founders navigate visas while building their startups

•

Why VC’s reliance on pattern matching can cause investors to miss outlier founders

•

How Manan evaluates founders before they have a product, customers, or traction

•

The IQ, AQ, EQ, and SQ framework Unshackled uses to evaluate founder potential

•

Why resilience, lived experience, and a founder’s relationship to the problem can matter more than a polished pitch

•

Why structural gaps can create some of the biggest opportunities for investors

•

How founders without traditional networks can find alternative paths to early capital

•

Why founders should understand their personal “why” instead of trying to fit the traditional VC mold
