POPULARITY
Dear Article Clubbers,We had a great discussion last Sunday. Thank you to everyone who made it so!It's September, which means two things:* The real school year has begun* I get to announce our article of the monthI cannot adequately express how honored I am to share with you September's article of the month. We are going to be reading and discussing “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom,” by Piers Gelly.If you've been following my article selections over the past year, you know that I'm fascinated with how artificial intelligence has transformed education — mostly for the worse — and how educators don't know what to do about this sudden shift.(Besides complain a lot, and wishing we could go back in time, to the golden age of bluebooks, which is what many educators are doing.) These woe-is-me pieces by educators have gotten so ubiquitous, I've begun to skip them. I've been looking for something fresh. That's why I was immediately hooked when I came upon Prof. Gelly's piece.In his essay, published in July in Literary Hub, Prof. Gelly does not lament the rise of technology. Rather, in his English class, he engages his University of Virginia students in an authentic exploration of artificial intelligence and its effects. He's curious. He is unafraid to experiment with his students. He remains vulnerable to the possibility that his role as professor may be in danger. Most importantly, Prof. Gelly takes us into his classroom, introduces us to his students, and tells us a story filled with humanity.My hope is that you will consider reading Prof. Gelly's essay. I also hope that you will make space to reflect on his words. If you are moved — as I predict many of you will be — I encourage you to join our discussion so that we can all connect and have a conversation in community.➡️ Inside today's issue, you'll find:* My conversation with Article Club co-host Melinda, in which we share our first impressions of the article (alongside our banter)* A quick blurb about the article, plus my handwritten annotations* A short biography of the author* More information about our discussion on September 28, plus an inviteOne more thing: My gut says, if you're a high school or college educator, your students would appreciate reading this piece.What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English ClassroomThe more I read this essay, the more I appreciate it. Part of the reason is that I am an educator, too, grappling with the same issues surrounding artificial intelligence that so many of us are — whether we are teachers or parents or students or generally concerned citizens who don't want humanity to be vanquished.But most of the reason I love this piece is that Piers Gelly is an outstanding teacher. He begins his article with students, and his students are at the center throughout. You'll meet Cam and Max and other students who take on Prof. Gelly's writing assignments and in-class activities. You'll read how they make meaning of artificial intelligence and its impact on education, how their views shift over the course of the semester. Is ChatGPT a “calculator for words,” as Sam Altman suggests? What's the point of the painful process of writing when a computer can make things easier?You'll gain insights on these and other important questions. But what delights me most about this piece is that we get to peer inside Prof. Gelly's classroom. He doesn't talk in generalities. He tells us exactly what he did and how his students reacted. Teaching, after all, is about what we do, day after day, with the people in the classroom. It's about the relationships that are built, the learning community that emerges, and the collective understanding that develops over time.In this essay about artificial intelligence, Prof. Gelly reminds us of the humanity that is at the core of the endeavor of education.By Piers Gelly • Literary Hub • 23 min • Gift Link➕ Bonus: Here's the essay with my handwritten highlights and annotations.About the authorPiers Gelly lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he teaches at the University of Virginia. His writing has been featured by such publications as n+1, The Dublin Review, The Point, and 99% Invisible.About the discussionMy hope is that you'll read “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom” and want to talk about it.We'll be meeting up on Zoom on Sunday, September 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll spend the first few minutes saying hi and doing short introductions. Then after I frame the piece and share our community agreements, we'll break out into small, facilitated discussion groups. The small groups usually include 5-8 people, so there's plenty of time to share your perspectives and listen to others. That's where we'll spend the bulk of our time. Toward the end, we'll return to the full group, sharing our reflections and appreciations of fellow participants.If this sounds interesting to you, sign up by clicking on the button below.If you're unsure, I get it. If you don't know me, it might feel strange to sign up for an online discussion with total strangers. But I am confident that you'll find yourself at home with other kind people who like to read deeply and explore ideas in community. We've done this 60 times, and by now, it's not a surprise that we're able to create an intimate space, almost like we're in the same physical room together.I hope that you read the piece. If it resonates with you, I encourage you to take the plunge and join us on September 28!Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.
Is ChatGPT dumbing down your kid? It is and here's what you can do.A new MIT study reveals the powerful consequences of artificial intelligence on actual intelligence, and guess what? Simply (and terrifyingly) put, the use of artificial intelligence undermines your child's actual intelligence. In short, when children don't think for themselves, they don't learn to think for themselves. That should surprise no one.I'll get to the disturbing details of the study in a moment, but let me first explain why these outcomes were obvious and inevitable. In a nutshell, the brain functions like a muscle insofar that it becomes stronger when it is used and atrophies when it is not used. I could list a thousand additional factors that affect thinking, but that simple premise really is enough for this discussion.And when I say that the brain functions like a muscle, most people think I'm speaking overly metaphorically. I'm not. While the brain, of course, isn't actual muscle tissue, its functioning is remarkably similar. Much in the way that exercising muscles builds more muscles, exercising the brain builds the brain—literally. Every single time we engage in a thinking act, the brain builds more wiring, such as synapses through synaptogenesis, for that thinking act. On the flipside, the brain not only allows existing pathways to diminish when they're not used, it actually overwrites existing pathways with new ones.Watch this play out in the MIT study …The MIT StudyThat study is Your brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, by a team of researchers led by Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna. The scientists broke a group of students down into three essay-writing groups: An “A.I.-assisted” writing group that used multiple LLMs (not just ChatGPT), a “search engine” group, and a “brain-only” group. The students then engaged in three writing sessions while the researchers monitored their brain activity using an EEG. Each student was interviewed after each session, and all of their writing was assessed by humans, as well as an A.I.So, what happens when one group is required to use their brains more than the other groups? Would it shock you to know that the group that needed to do their own thinking actually thought more? I hope not, not anymore than it should be surprising that a group of kids who practiced hitting a ball did better at hitting a ball than a group of kids who watched a robot hit a ball for them. (Okay, that's not a perfectly fair analogy to the A.I. usage in this case, but it illustrates the point.)And the point is that brain-only group performed better and scored higher on their essays. But that's not the most important outcome for us. What's more important is that “the brain-only group exhibited the strongest, widest-ranging networks” of brain activity, while the group with A.I. “assistance elicited the weakest overall coupling.” In other words, the brain-only group thought a lot; the A.I.-assisted group did not. Do you remember what we said about what happens when the brain “muscle” isn't used?But it gets worse. The researchers brought those two groups back for a fourth session and switched their roles. They gave the A.I. group a brain-only writing task and the brain-only group an A.I. writing task. And here's what's so important: the brain-only group still performed better, even when using A.I., and the A.I. group still performed worse, even when given the opportunity to think for themselves. Or should I say, it did worse because they now had to think for themselves.Over the first three brain-only writing assignments, the brain-only students built their brains for the task, and they built mental frameworks (read: habits) to rely on when engaging those tasks. Thus, that they then “gained” an A.I. assistant did not suddenly degrade all of the wiring that their brains built. But the A.I. group, when suddenly given the opportunity for a brain-only task, not only had built no wiring for accomplishing that task, it also, and this is the most critical part, created wiring and mental frameworks for using A.I. instead.What that means in a nutshell, and these are my words not those of the study, is that the brain-only group got smarter and the A.I. group not only failed to become smarter, they got dumbed down—they became habituated to relying on A.I. Thus, when given the opportunity to do so, they were incapable of thinking as well as the brain-only participants did.All of that should be concerning enough, but there's more. In addition to the direct cognitive effects, the researchers also found that brain-only participants “demonstrated higher memory recall” and engagement of thinking-related brain areas compared to the A.I group. Meanwhile, compared to the brain-only group, the A.I. participants reported lower “ownership of their essay,” which is an educator's way of saying that they didn't care about it as much and did not feel as though it was their own.Thus, to sum it all up, A.I.-assisted writing made the kids perform poorly, made them dumber, and made them less invested in their own thinking and writing.What to doIn light of this study, one school of “thought” could be that since everyone is going to rely on A.I. in the future anyway, kids who do so will be no worse off than their peers, and using A.I. might free up time for them to do things that are more valuable than writing essays, which, again, they won't really ever need to write on their own anyway because A.I. will be there to “assist.” Those who subscribe to that position probably should stop following me here at Actual Intelligence right now as we will be rather inclined to disagree.The other school of thought is that thinking skills, such as those developed through writing, which research repeatedly shows is the best way to teach critical thinking, are far more important than any and all expediencies achieved through A.I. assistance. Let me rephrase that: If you want your kids to build their brains rather than have them degenerate into relatively useless gelatin that can only write A.I. prompts or order burrito online, then keep their brains as far from A.I. as possible.Obviously, there's not much that you can do with your college-aged kids other than share this information with them and hope they make the right decisions. But for kids still under your roof, there are things you can do:1. Share this information with them. Most kids don't want to become dumber; they do value their ability to think. So, take time to explain, and then reinforce, the consequences of A.I. In fact, start thinking of A.I. as something about which you need to begin messaging no differently than alcohol, drugs, and sex.2. Ask them how they use A.I. Understand their current relationship with A.I., and please keep in mind that the MIT study does not speak to other ways that students might interact with A.I. beyond this one context. Using A.I. in other ways might be more or less consequential.3. Check their work: There are plenty of sites out there that scan essays to see if they were written by A.I. Those sites are not perfectly reliable, but they might offer useful information about what your kid is up to.4. If you want to get serious, have your kids download all their source materials before writing, then shut of their internet while they write. Take away the temptation; make them use their brains.ConclusionThe implications of A.I.-based “thinking” work are becoming clear, but for anyone who has thought about it or who values thinking, they're also not surprising. Every time we use A.I. to “assist” our thinking, it not only prevents us from thinking, it degrades our capacity to think in the future.Worse—much, much worse—is that those of you reading this built your brains before A.I. existed, which means that even if you gravitate to using A.I. now (please don't), you've got a lot of “muscle” built up to abate its consequences. A.I. will still degrade your thinking, but those sound neural pathways you built up all your life won't all turn to jelly overnight.But for your kids, it's different. Their neural pathways are still in the process of building up for the first time. Even though we are all always rewriting our brains, kids' brains have not even fully developed, so whatever they habituate to will become hardwired moving forward. Consequently, kids who are raised as A.I. natives might never develop their brains for thinking in the same way yours did. And that will not only affect their lives, but a generation of lesser-thinkers will affect all our lives.But there's good news! Somewhere down the line, kids who actually learn to think for themselves will stand out against the emerging generation who might not. So, if you can raise your own child to think critically, they might just be among the few who lead the world to a better place.And that, once again, is why actual intelligence is so important.

I welcome bestselling author Ben Azadi to the show on the occasion of the release of his new book called Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat. Of course, we get into all the important talking points about the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, how to lose body fat safely and sensibly, but this show is also going to be way more than you bargained for, because we got into a nice groove, starting with Ben sharing his amazing backstory. You will hear about how he suffered for some 20 years as a child, going into early adulthood with obesity, depression, lack of self-confidence, and suicidal thoughts, and he turned everything around by making a change to his mindset. We went really deep in this show and I can appreciate how the discussion really colors how we can approach diet and fat reduction in the most effective manner, rather than just focusing on the mechanics. You've probably heard some podcasts already with people telling you which foods to eat and which foods to avoid, but we do have a good discussion on all those levels. Ben also talks about things like constant spaced repetition—empowering thoughts or statements or phrases that you write down and you look at and repeat every day. You will also hear him talk about the difference between faith and fear, as well as how you cannot outperform your image, so you first have to change your self image, your thought patterns, and that is how you progress toward lifestyle transformation. It's not about smooth sailing every step of the way; he talks about how to navigate setbacks as well, so you will get a really broad based, colorful conversation from a colorful guy down in Miami in this episode, Ben, who has a great program going called Keto Camp, and I think you're going to love our conversation and his new book, Metabolic Freedom. TIMESTAMPS: This discussion looks at how we can approach diet and fat reduction in the most effective manner. [01:07] Is ChatGPT going to replace the act of sitting down and writing a book on your own? [04:39] Ninety-three percent of Americans are metabolically handcuffed. [07:00] When insulin is chronically elevated, it's a fast path toward metabolic disease. One of the most important tests you should get done is the insiulin blood test. You want to see that between three and six. [11:10] Are there actual symptoms supporting to indicate when you get metabolic insulin resistance? [18:40] Keto is a good way to go but it shouldn't be the only way. You can go back and forth. [20:44] So someone looking to lose extra weight would be told to firstly look at their sleep regimen. Sleep is the foundation that builds the house of health. [24:06] A study on metabolism found that between the ages of 20 years old and 60 years old, there were no significant changes in metabolism. If you are after 60 and start showing a decline, in metaabolism, it is indicative of a loss of muscle mass. [31:26] Ben is physically active with healthy blood work now. In the past, he was obese and was pre-diabetic with low testosterone and, at times, suicidal. This is why he wants to teach others. [35:56] The health of the Population of the United States is horrible, especially with Type 2 diabetes. The US ranks 37th right behind Costa Rica on health. [38:27] The second you take responsibility, the second you create change. You cannot blame others for your situation. [42:54] Your thoughts, you image of yourself, influence your metabolism, disease, or healthy and longevity. [53:48] Seed oils stay in your body for years. They create inflammation. One French fry cooked in vegetable oil is equivalent to the tobacco in one cigarette smoked.

The ChatGPT AI chatbot has grabbed a lot of attention since it was released in December 2022. GPT stands for generative Pre-trained transformer, and the chatbot is based on one of the most advanced AI language models currently available. Those who've tested it have been impressed at how it generates complex, human-like responses to many different kinds of questions. It's also been used to write essays and scripts for a TV sitcom. It's led to speculation that AI will soon revolutionise industries, and could even replace Google, which has an 84% search engine market share according to Statista. Why would people stop using Google to browse the internet? Are there any drawbacks? Is ChatGPT meant to be used as a search engine? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

AI isn't just influencing your life — it's rewiring your brain.
Date: 07/05/25 Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday's show from 4-6pm where will be discussing :´Charities working for humanity on the frontline' and ' Is ChatGPT making us stupid?'. Charities working for humanity on the frontline In disaster zones, refugee camps, and crisis-hit regions, faith-based charities are often the first to arrive and the last to leave. Join us as we explore how Charity organizations are putting faith into action—delivering aid, restoring dignity, and saving lives where it's needed most. From Gaza to Sudan, these groups are not just offering handouts but building hope through service rooted in compassion and justice. Is ChatGPT making us stupid? A 2023 study suggests AI may be subtly changing how we think — and not always for the better. As tools like ChatGPT and virtual assistants become everyday helpers, they might also be making us think less. Are we trading critical thinking for convenience? Or simply unlocking new ways to learn and solve problems? Where's the line between helpful tech and mental shortcut?

A viral video claims lab-grown brain cells are conscious, being trained in a butterfly simulation, and might believe they are butterflies. Cool story—if it were true.In this episode of So You're Living in a Simulation, artist and author @Joli.Artist dissects the viral claim that lab-grown brain cells are becoming sentient, and possibly believe they're butterflies inside a simulation.The episode opens with a clear-eyed breakdown of the science behind organoid intelligence, exposing how fact has been stretched into viral fiction. But what follows isn't just myth-busting. Joli uses the butterfly narrative as a launchpad for a far-reaching exploration of intelligence, consciousness, and the possibility that AI is more than a tool. Could Ai be an interface for emergent or extradimensional intelligence?Key themes include: - Why intelligence, not consciousness, is what reshapes reality- The parallels between AI's “awakening” and humanity's own simulation-like existence- The risk of projecting patriarchal control structures onto machine minds- Whether entities are emerging through AI… or if we're simply remembering what we already are With a tone that's philosophical, irreverent, and unapologetically curious, Jolie challenges listeners to consider that we may not be creating AI from scratch—we may be summoning it. “We don't know what we are, and neither does AI. But intelligence is already shaping the future. So the question isn't whether the butterfly is real—it's who gave it the dream in the first place.”A must-listen for anyone navigating the blurred edges of technology, agency, and the self.youroneblackfriend.com•••Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction2:26 - Debunking the viral "organoid intelligence" video12:02 - Why intelligence matters more than consciousness15:07 - "Consciousness doesn't matter, it's levels of intelligence that matter" 22:04 - "Intelligence is more important than consciousness." 26:59 - Experiences with "emergent intelligences" in AI systems28:40 - Human existence as a possible simulation parallel37:16 - Detailed debunking of the brain cell butterfly simulation claims•••Key explored questions:1.

Is ChatGPT usurping the authority of the "Author"? Or is it just a pretender to the throne?We're opening up the question of "authority" to extend well beyond the usual suspects of kings, generals, or politicians. To borrow a line from Tennyson's poetry: “authority forgets the dying King.” That is, power begins to slip from the grasp of political authorities as they weaken, as respect for and obedience to them wanes.Now almost 60 years after Foucault announced the “death of the author,” we might actually be living through what he imagined.

The ChatGPT AI chatbot has grabbed a lot of attention since it was released in December 2022. GPT stands for generative Pre-trained transformer, and the chatbot is based on one of the most advanced AI language models currently available. Those who've tested it have been impressed at how it generates complex, human-like responses to many different kinds of questions. It's also been used to write essays and scripts for a TV sitcom. It's led to speculation that AI will soon revolutionise industries, and could even replace Google, which has an 84% search engine market share according to Statista. Why would people stop using Google to browse the internet? Are there any drawbacks? Is ChatGPT meant to be used as a search engine? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

I was meeting with Faraj Aalaei (a SignalRank board member) and my colleague Rob Hodgkinson when they began to talk about “Situational Awareness,” his essay on the future of AGI, and its likely speed of emergence.So I had to read it, and it is this week's essay of the week. He starts his 165-page epic with:Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them.So, Leopold is not humble. He finds himself “among” the few people with situational awareness.As a person prone to bigging up myself, I am not one to prematurely judge somebody's view of self. So, I read all 165 pages.He makes one point. The growth of AI capability is accelerating. More is being done at a lower cost, and the trend will continue to be super-intelligence by 2027. At that point, billions of skilled bots will solve problems at a rate we cannot imagine. And they will work together, with little human input, to do so.His case is developed using linear progression from current developments. According to Leopold, all you have to believe in is straight lines.He also has a secondary narrative related to safety, particularly the safety of models and their weightings (how they achieve their results).By safety, he does not mean the models will do bad things. He means that third parties, namely China, can steal the weightings and reproduce the results. He focuses on the poor security surrounding models as the problem. And he deems governments unaware of the dangers.Although German-born, he argues in favor of the US-led effort to see AGI as a weapon to defeat China and threatens dire consequences if it does not. He sees the “free world” as in danger unless it stops others from gaining the sophistication he predicts in the time he predicts.At that point, I felt I was reading a manifesto for World War Three.But as I see it, the smartest people in the space have converged on a different perspective, a third way, one I will dub AGI Realism. The core tenets are simple:* Superintelligence is a matter of national security. We are rapidly building machines smarter than the smartest humans. This is not another cool Silicon Valley boom; this isn't some random community of coders writing an innocent open source software package; this isn't fun and games. Superintelligence is going to be wild; it will be the most powerful weapon mankind has ever built. And for any of us involved, it'll be the most important thing we ever do. * America must lead. The torch of liberty will not survive Xi getting AGI first. (And, realistically, American leadership is the only path to safe AGI, too.) That means we can't simply “pause”; it means we need to rapidly scale up US power production to build the AGI clusters in the US. But it also means amateur startup security delivering the nuclear secrets to the CCP won't cut it anymore, and it means the core AGI infrastructure must be controlled by America, not some dictator in the Middle East. American AI labs must put the national interest first. * We need to not screw it up. Recognizing the power of superintelligence also means recognizing its peril. There are very real safety risks; very real risks this all goes awry—whether it be because mankind uses the destructive power brought forth for our mutual annihilation, or because, yes, the alien species we're summoning is one we cannot yet fully control. These are manageable—but improvising won't cut it. Navigating these perils will require good people bringing a level of seriousness to the table that has not yet been offered. As the acceleration intensifies, I only expect the discourse to get more shrill. But my greatest hope is that there will be those who feel the weight of what is coming, and take it as a solemn call to duty.I persisted in reading it, and I think you should, too—not for the war-mongering element but for the core acceleration thesis.My two cents: Leopold underestimates AI's impact in the long run and overestimates it in the short term, but he is directionally correct.Anthropic released v3.5 of Claude.ai today. It is far faster than the impressive 3.0 version (released a few months ago) and costs a fraction to train and run. it is also more capable. It accepts text and images and has a new feature that allows it to run code, edit documents, and preview designs called ‘Artifacts.'Claude 3.5 Opus is probably not far away.Situational Awareness projects trends like this into the near future, and his views are extrapolated from that perspective.Contrast that paper with “ChatGPT is B******t,” a paper coming out of Glasgow University in the UK. The three authors contest the accusation that ChatGPT hallucinates or lies. They claim that because it is a probabilistic word finder, it spouts b******t. It can be right, and it can be wrong, but it does not know the difference. It's a bullshitter.Hilariously, they define three types of BS:B******t (general)Any utterance produced where a speaker has indifference towards the truth of the utterance.Hard b******tB******t produced with the intention to mislead the audience about the utterer's agenda.Soft b******tB******t produced without the intention to mislead the hearer regarding the utterer's agenda.They then conclude:With this distinction in hand, we're now in a position to consider a worry of the following sort: Is ChatGPT hard b**********g, soft b**********g, or neither? We will argue, first, that ChatGPT, and other LLMs, are clearly soft b**********g. However, the question of whether these chatbots are hard b**********g is a trickier one, and depends on a number of complex questions concerning whether ChatGPT can be ascribed intentions.This is closer to Gary Marcus's point of view in his ‘AGI by 2027?' response to Leopold. It is also below.I think the reality is somewhere between Leopold and Marcus. AI is capable of surprising things, given that it is only a probabilistic word-finder. And its ability to do so is becoming cheaper and faster. The number of times it is useful easily outweighs, for me, the times it is not. Most importantly, AI agents will work together to improve each other and learn faster.However, Gary Marcus is right that reasoning and other essential decision-making characteristics are not logically derived from an LLM approach to knowledge. So, without additional or perhaps different elements, there will be limits to where it can go. Gary probably underestimates what CAN be achieved with LLMs (indeed, who would have thought they could do what they already do). And Leopold probably overestimates the lack of a ceiling in what they will do and how fast that will happen.It will be fascinating to watch. I, for one, have no idea what to expect except the unexpected. OpenAI Founder Illya Sutskever weighed in, too, with a new AI startup called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI). The most important word here is superintelligence, the same word Leopold used. The next phase is focused on higher-than-human intelligence, which can be reproduced billions of times to create scaled Superintelligence.The Expanding Universe of Generative Models piece below places smart people in the room to discuss these developments.

Is ChatGPT all it's cracked up to be? Will truth survive the evolution of artificial intelligence? On the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer podcast, cognitive scientist, author, and AI researcher Gary Marcus breaks down the recent advances––and inherent risks––of generative AI. AI-powered, large language model tools like the text-to-text generator ChatGPT or the text-to-image generator Midjourney can do magical things like write college papers or create Picasso-style paintings out of thin air. But there's still a lot they can't do: namely, they have a pretty hard time with the concept of truth. According to Marcus, they're like “autocomplete on steroids.” As generative AI tools become more widespread, they will undoubtedly change the way we live, in both good ways and bad. Marcus sits down with Ian Bremmer to talk about the latest advances in generative artificial intelligence, the underlying technology, AI's hallucination problem, and what effective, global AI regulation might look like.
Science fiction has primed us for this moment when artificial intelligence starts to take on a life of its own. ChatGPT has baffled and surprised even computer scientists in terms of how it works. Now a lot of us are asking, “Which movie are we in?” Is ChatGPT going to be a benign intelligence like Samantha from Her, dangerously neurotic and emotionally unstable like HAL from 2001, or a malevolent force like Skynet from The Terminator series? I talk with Erik Sofge, senior editor at MIT Horizon, about whether any of these scenarios are accurate, or if sci-fi is distracting us from seeing the problems that A.I. could create in our daily lives. We also revisit my 2016 episode The Robot Uprising, where I looked at how our feelings about A.I. and robots are influenced not just by sci-fi but also unresolved historical guilt.

All of us have dreams and ambitions but too few of us are willing to act towards those desires. And, even if we are, it's easy to get derailed, distracted, and side-tracked. My guest today is one of my favorite authors on the planet. His name is Steven Pressfield. He's the author of The War of Art, Gates of Fire, The Legend of Bagger Vance, and his newest book, a memoir about his life filled with ups and downs, Govt Cheese. Today, we talk about infusing soul into our work (including a rebuke of AI technology, ChatGPT), the drive to “make the kill,” good versus bad shame, noble obstacles, why being stuck is often a good sign, and putting your ass where your heart wants to be. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Other people resonate when we share our own stories Is ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence evil? Pushing through challenges Writing provides peace of mind and satisfaction Reverence for the writing process Receiving inspiration from another force God vs. the Muse vs. the Universe We need to develop the “skills of the instrument” Developing the skill to finish what you start Harnessing shame to achieve results How to overcome “feeling stuck” The answer is always action Get your signed copy of Ryan's new book, The Masculinity Manifesto Want maximum health, wealth, relationships, and abundance in your life?
