Listened to the whole thing. Quite remarkable really. Genuinely new perspectives and ideas that make a lot of sense and need serious consideration @YeshuaGod22

+1 for all the Jerry's in the house
Every room I give an AI talk to has a Jerry. It’s an older Gen X or Baby Boomer that has been using ChatGPT (or similar) multiple times a day for over a year. But notably: no one in their circle uses it. Not their family, not their company, and not their customers. They’re not using AI to grow a $10M side business or get a promotion. It’s the joy of discovery. A Jerry is a renegade who sees the world shifting, loves to learn, and dives in. I wish AI companies told more Jerry stories.

The most world-changing pattern of AI might be to send AI delegates into a secure multitenant space, have them exchange arbitrarily sensitive information, prove in zero-knowledge that they honestly follow any protocol, extract the result, then verifiably destroy without a trace.
You'd like to sell some information. If you could show prospective buyers the info, they'd realize it's valuable. But at that point they wouldn't pay for it! Enter LLMs. LLMs can assess the information, pay for it if it's good, and completely forget it if not.

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
