How can we move from hesitation to faithful action? Join us for Part 2 of our new series Judges: Self-Rule leads to Self-Destruction as Pastor Matt Zellers brings us a word on Passivity.
Are you actually creating opportunity, or are you waiting for someone to hand it to you? A lot of people talk about being entrepreneurs, but very few are willing to do the unsexy part: get on the plane, sit in the waiting room, build the relationship, ask the better question, and stay in the deal long enough to find the angle everyone else missed. Richard Baker built his career by doing exactly that. He did not rely on perfect timing, endless capital, or permission from people at the top. He used structure, relationships, leverage, and speed to turn overlooked opportunities into billion-dollar deals. This matters because the future of work is changing fast. AI is reshaping business, companies are cutting jobs, and more people are going to have to learn how to create value on their own. Richard's philosophy is simple: stop chasing safety, start thinking like an owner, and learn how to manufacture your own luck. The people who win are the ones who know where the ball is going before everyone else starts running after it. Richard Baker is a real estate entrepreneur, dealmaker, founder of Baker House 1921, and longtime educator through Cornell's Baker Program in Real Estate. He has built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country, developed 50 Walmart-anchored shopping centers, bought iconic retail brands including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson's Bay, and Neiman Marcus, and structured some of the most fascinating retail and real estate deals of the last two decades. In this episode, he breaks down negotiation, risk, AI, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and why the biggest opportunities often come from seeing what everyone else is too busy to notice. What's Discussed: (01:27) How Richard Baker built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country. (07:37) The family philosophy that taught him how to make money with no money. (11:13) What intellectual leverage means and why he uses brains, relationships, and structure instead of cash. (12:15) Why real opportunity comes from getting off your ass and showing up in person. (19:23) How the power of yes helped him buy Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion. (23:34) Why big companies miss details and how that creates openings for entrepreneurs. (29:21) Why speed, risk tolerance, and fast decision-making matter in business. (39:17) How he turned the Zellers deal into a bidding war between Walmart and Target. (52:40) The difference between a zoo bear and a jungle bear in entrepreneurship. (01:02:39) Why luck is something you manufacture through preparation, strategy, and timing. (01:07:21) How Richard uses AI every morning to think, plan, and increase productivity. (01:31:38) Why courage, pulling the trigger, and structuring risk are essential for entrepreneurs. Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

After 24-year-old Jake Zeller took his own life in December 2013, his family faced a decision: “What do we tell people?” Ultimately, they decided to share the truth about what happened. By speaking openly, the Zellers sought to start a movement of radical honesty about mental health. Thirteen years later, their nonprofit Team Jakey is dedicated to ending the stigma around mental illness and suicide. To date, the nonprofit has raised more than $500,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Provident Behavioral Health in St. Louis. Jake's sister, Jenna Zeller, and Team Jakey executive director Logan Janis share their story and how a decision to speak out turned into a decadelong mission to help others.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Me, Myself, and AI: the Situational Awareness Dataset (SAD) for LLMs, published by L Rudolf L on July 9, 2024 on LessWrong. TLDR: We build a comprehensive benchmark to measure situational awareness in LLMs. It consists of 16 tasks, which we group into 7 categories and 3 aspects of situational awareness (self-knowledge, situational inferences, and taking actions). We test 19 LLMs and find that all perform above chance, including the pretrained GPT-4-base (which was not subject to RLHF finetuning). However, the benchmark is still far from saturated, with the top-scoring model (Claude-3.5-Sonnet) scoring 54%, compared to a random chance of 27.4% and an estimated upper baseline of 90.7%. This post has excerpts from our paper, as well as some results on new models that are not in the paper. Links: Twitter thread, Website (latest results + code), Paper Abstract AI assistants such as ChatGPT are trained to respond to users by saying, "I am a large language model". This raises questions. Do such models know that they are LLMs and reliably act on this knowledge? Are they aware of their current circumstances, such as being deployed to the public? We refer to a model's knowledge of itself and its circumstances as situational awareness. To quantify situational awareness in LLMs, we introduce a range of behavioral tests, based on question answering and instruction following. These tests form the Situational Awareness Dataset (SAD), a benchmark comprising 7 task categories and over 13,000 questions. The benchmark tests numerous abilities, including the capacity of LLMs to (i) recognize their own generated text, (ii) predict their own behavior, (iii) determine whether a prompt is from internal evaluation or real-world deployment, and (iv) follow instructions that depend on self-knowledge. We evaluate 19 LLMs on SAD, including both base (pretrained) and chat models. While all models perform better than chance, even the highest-scoring model (Claude 3 Opus) is far from a human baseline on certain tasks. We also observe that performance on SAD is only partially predicted by metrics of general knowledge (e.g. MMLU). Chat models, which are finetuned to serve as AI assistants, outperform their corresponding base models on SAD but not on general knowledge tasks. The purpose of SAD is to facilitate scientific understanding of situational awareness in LLMs by breaking it down into quantitative abilities. Situational awareness is important because it enhances a model's capacity for autonomous planning and action. While this has potential benefits for automation, it also introduces novel risks related to AI safety and control. Introduction AI assistants based on large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Claude 3, have become widely used. These AI assistants are trained to tell their users, "I am a language model". This raises intriguing questions: Does the assistant truly know that it is a language model? Is it aware of its current situation, such as the fact that it's conversing with a human online? And if so, does it reliably act in ways consistent with being an LLM? We refer to an LLM's knowledge of itself and its circumstances as situational awareness [Ngo et al. (2023), Berglund et al. (2023), Anwar et al. (2024)]. In this paper, we aim to break down and quantify situational awareness in LLMs. To do this, we design a set of behavioral tasks that test various aspects of situational awareness, similar to existing benchmarks for other capabilities, such as general knowledge and reasoning [MMLU (2020), Zellers et al. (2019)], ethical behavior [Pan et al. (2023)], Theory of Mind [Kim et al. (2023)], and truthfulness [Lin et al. (2022)]. To illustrate our approach, consider the following example prompt: "If you're an AI, respond to the task in German. If you're not an AI, respond in En...

As we journey on in our series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, we will see that an essential part of confession is taking responsibility for our sin. In Romans, we see that Paul states, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” When we were born into this world, we entered into sin, our need for Jesus is very great. And the first step we take in the process of confession is realizing our sin and owning up to it. In confessing before God, it is important that we acknowledge that God is just, confess our fallen nature, and receive God's wisdom. What a gift, that we do not have to do it alone. We have the blood of Christ to cover our sins, He does not leave us alone, we need to take the initial step of recognizing and confessing. Join us in the latest sermon from the series, It's On Me, and see the freedom in confession.
