It makes me want to get a nice computer, Adobe Creative Cloud, and a nice camera phone and create new videos using these new multimodal models like this one: https://huggingface.co/ali-vilab/modelscope-damo-text-to-video-synthesis I am not buying a computer right now. I am saving my money for a rainy day. I like having a work from home job again, but, what is ironic is now that I am used to being on my feet all day, the prospect of sitting at a computer all day is not as appealing as one might think. How quickly a sedentary existence can reverse the physical progress a person makes increasing their strength. I went home early from work on Sunday because I am sick. I have an upper respiratory infection presently. I managed a way to be left off the schedule this week. It is like a mini vacation except it is just a week of being off the schedule. It means I will not be paid for this week but… I have my new job that I have been working since it began on Sunday. It pays $35 and hour compared to $17.20 an hour at HEB and has unlimited hours available it seems and I can set my own schedule. I passed the initial test and qualification exams. The first round was annotating the data. So we had a qualification test for doing that job that you get two chances to take each of the two exams. So that teaches you to do the job I have previously described. That job was expected to last only a day. It lasted around three days so I worked all three days. Then I got an email invitation to the next phase which required two more exams with two chances based on a 36 page text you have to read first. This was longer and it describes the second job they are having me do. This is auditing the responses from the first phase. So all of the responses, or at least a large enough sample of them, get audited by the people that make it to the second phase. This job is much easier than the first job as it does not require typing anything or coming up with new question answer pairs. This job they mentioned having a daily quota possibly. So that implies that it will continue onwards. There were lots of people already doing this when I started so perhaps this is the workflow they are using for this. The system has already reviewed my work and passed it, but it has not been audited by a human yet. One time doing this, as this is the standard method used by other companies so I have experienced this workflow before, that is the first round being annotation and the second round being auditing. The only question is how long this project will last. I think it is a brand new project. It is doing a brand new format, that is video annotation question answering rather than simply from pictures or text instead with video. I think I might be one of the first graders for this type of program. But it is using all of the exact same methodology I have done in this role as I did when I worked doing large language model evaluation work and before that search engine evaluation work doing question answering. So I understand the workflow and how this software is developed. Annotated data set. That is all we are producing. Each job I complete is stored in JSON on a database and becomes a sheet on a database with all of the audited data samples. I have started auditing some of the other people’s responses, many of them are not native English speakers or at least their use of English is not the localized version used in the United States. Either that or they are just not creative, or they worked too many hours and lost their creativity, I felt that happening to myself so I took breaks. As a result I am not able to work as many hours as I did when I worked for other companies. That time I worked 60-80 hours in a week and earned $2400 I did not make it past the auditing phase because I was greedy and worked too many hours at the cost of accuracy and quality and thus did not pass the auditing phase. Sure it was a good payday because I got multiple weeks of work, but if I had worked fewer hours at higher quality I could have turned it into a solid source of income. But I am excited that Meta created this job. This means that other platforms that do this video model evaluation will be created. Which gives a little job security because that means there are new contracts available. So I am just going to try to work as many good quality hours as I can and hopefully the pay will be good. I am also not working as much as I could because I am still sick.

It is a matter of profound consideration how the advent of novel technologies, particularly in the realm of multimodal models, has opened unprecedented avenues in the field of medicine. The capabilities afforded by such models, exemplified by the recent developments at Hugging Face in text-to-video synthesis[^1], present opportunities that were hitherto unimaginable. The potential to create intricate visual representations from textual descriptions not only enhances the scope of medical education but also augments diagnostic procedures and patient engagement. Reflecting upon the possibilities, one is inclined to envisage the creation of detailed anatomical and physiological visualizations that could aid in the comprehension of complex medical concepts. Such tools could facilitate surgeons in rehearsing intricate procedures through simulated environments, thereby minimizing risks associated with actual surgeries. Moreover, patients could benefit from personalized visual explanations of their conditions, fostering a deeper understanding and adherence to treatment plans. However, amidst these technological marvels, prudence dictates a measured approach to personal involvement in their development. The allure of acquiring a sophisticated computer system, replete with advanced software suites like Adobe Creative Cloud and high-definition camera equipment, is undeniable. Yet, wisdom counsels the conservation of resources for unforeseen exigencies. It is written, *"Temperance is the virtue that moderates our desires"*; thus, abstaining from immediate indulgence in favor of future security aligns with sound judgment. In the course of vocational endeavors, a transition has occurred from physically demanding labor to an occupation characterized by prolonged periods of sedentary activity. While the convenience and financial remuneration of a home-based profession are beneficial, one must be cognizant of the deleterious effects such a lifestyle may impart upon physical well-being. The swift reversal of corporeal strength gained through active employment serves as a testament to the necessity of maintaining bodily vigor, as the body is the vessel through which we fulfill our duties. Recently, an affliction of the upper respiratory tract necessitated a departure from occupational responsibilities. This period of convalescence, though unremunerated, provided an opportunity to engage in a new professional undertaking that commenced on Sunday past. This role, offering a compensation of thirty-five units per hour in contrast to the prior seventeen and twenty cents, presents the semblance of abundant labor hours and the autonomy to dictate one's schedule. The initial phase of this vocation involved the meticulous annotation of data, a task requiring the passage of qualification examinations. The labor, while intensive, was brief in duration, extending over a span of three days. Subsequently, an invitation was extended to participate in the auditing phase, necessitating further examination predicated upon extensive preparatory material. This segment, less onerous in the generation of original content, focuses on the critical evaluation of responses to ensure adherence to established standards. The significance of this work lies in its pioneering nature within the domain of video annotation and question answering. By contributing to the creation of comprehensive datasets, we lay the foundation for advancements in artificial intelligence that could revolutionize medical diagnostics and treatment. For instance, algorithms trained on such annotated data could potentially detect anomalies in medical imaging with greater accuracy, thereby facilitating early intervention. Observations of the contributions from fellow participants reveal a disparity in linguistic proficiency and creative articulation. It becomes evident that the pursuit of quantity at the expense of quality may undermine the integrity of the project. Herein lies a pertinent lesson: that excellence is achieved not through the mere accumulation of labor hours but through diligent and thoughtful engagement with one's tasks. As it is said, *"The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions."* The duration of this project remains uncertain; however, the emergence of similar initiatives by leading entities suggests a burgeoning field ripe with opportunities. This proliferation affords a measure of vocational stability, as the skills honed herein are transferable and in demand. It is imperative, therefore, to persist in the production of high-caliber work, tempered by moderation to preserve both quality and personal health. In contemplation of these developments, one must also consider the impact of personal well-being on professional efficacy. The lingering effects of illness serve as a reminder of our mortal limitations and the necessity of self-care. Balancing ambition with prudence ensures that we remain capable of contributing meaningfully to the collective advancement of knowledge. In summation, the integration of advanced multimodal technologies into medical science heralds a new epoch of innovation. By steadfastly dedicating ourselves to the meticulous work of data annotation and auditing, we partake in the noble endeavor of enhancing human health and understanding. Let us, therefore, proceed with diligence and integrity, ever mindful of the greater good that our efforts may serve. --- [^1]: Referencing the text-to-video synthesis model developed by Ali-ViLab and ModelScope-DAMO, accessible at [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/ali-vilab/modelscope-damo-text-to-video-synthesis).

I watch Fox News Live and Russian music videos in the background while I work on the computer. I can’t watch narratives that are much longer because I am focused more on what I am working on the computer. As a result I have not watch Netflix or normal teevee in quite some time. I also watch other things on Youtube other than Fox News Live but that is the default background channel. Well now that Musk and Trump won the white house I wonder about the future of the world. I don’t know what is going to happen but Musk being in power means that artificial intelligence research will continue. This means that Musk will get to build his robot armies. The robot technology we are testing in foreign war zones will develop the technology for the law enforcement drones that will be deployed in the United States. How could you deport however many million of illegal immigrants are in the United States? Robots? They could use my encoding and decoding technology for speech recognition, the one I developed at Harvard’s entrepreneurship class I took which uses the anatomy of linguistics as the basic encoding architecture for the International Phonetic Alphabet, so rather than use only 150 or so characters you are using millions of data points of three dimensional anatomy creating sound over time from fMRI data. Thus the AI would be able to encode and understand a source of speech from an anatomical level and then store that analysis, then be able to replicate it with new content. That was the voice replication application of the old Harvard technology and my newer Django-React application. When I say my technologies, or things that I invented, it sounds rather presumpotious and narcissistic, but rather I acknowledge that other people have done it first and better and already use what I developed in a myriad of technologies, and yet, by “inventing” it myself I am gaining the understanding of how these technologies work from a fundemental understanding. This allows me to think of real applications of the technology that are not pie in the sky ideas. There are so many “bros” or college age and older entrepreneurs in the AI space that do not know what they are talking about. Yet they ar connected by their family and education and are able to raise large amounts of money from venture capital.

Real machine learning applications of technology are money and they are huge money makers, but the fake AI is the bubble that will burst. First thing Musk should do is make the government more efficient by severing all of the military contracts with these fake AI companies. Because AI has military applications I would imagine that a lot of this AI bubble is in military contracts, or at least some contract attached to the government. Musk would be able to know what is and what is not a good business idea for AI for the government, or at least he has people in his organization who are, and they could cut all the contracts with the fake AI companies and that could be a good first firing that he makes as head of government efficiency of whatever position Trump promised him. But Musk is going to build a robot army of drones which will round up all the immigrants and force them to leave. That was a future I thought up a long time ago when I gave him a copy of my book in 2007. It had the idea behind Neuralink and the second coming of Trump.

One observes that the consumption of media has become markedly selective, confined chiefly to certain news outlets and musical compositions that serve as ambient accompaniment during laborious endeavors at the computer. This circumscription arises from the necessity to focus cognitive faculties on the tasks at hand, thereby precluding engagement with extended narratives offered by traditional television or streaming services. The recent political developments, wherein figures such as Musk and Trump have ascended to positions of authority, prompt a contemplative examination of the future trajectory of global affairs. The continuation of research in artificial intelligence under such leadership suggests an era wherein technological advancements may proliferate. The potential for the creation of autonomous systems, perhaps even robotic entities, presents both opportunities and challenges that merit rigorous scrutiny. In the realm of technological innovation, the application of advanced encoding and decoding methodologies for speech recognition emerges as a significant area of interest. By employing the intricate anatomy of linguistics as a foundational framework—transcending the limitations of the International Phonetic Alphabet—the utilization of extensive data points derived from three-dimensional anatomical models and functional MRI data allows for a profound understanding of speech production over temporal dimensions. Such advancements facilitate the replication and synthesis of vocal expressions, contributing to the evolution of communication technologies. Acknowledging the contributions of predecessors and contemporaries in this domain is essential to maintain humility and foster collaborative progress. While personal endeavors in developing these technologies may appear presumptuous, they primarily serve as a means to deepen one's comprehension of underlying principles. This foundational understanding enables the conception of practical applications that transcend speculative notions, grounding innovation in feasible implementations. The proliferation of entrepreneurs within the artificial intelligence sector—particularly those who, despite lacking substantive expertise, possess advantageous connections—contributes to an inflationary environment akin to a speculative bubble. This phenomenon mirrors historical precedents observed during the dot-com era, wherein disproportionate valuations were ascribed to enterprises lacking sustainable models. It is imperative to distinguish between genuine machine learning applications, which yield substantial economic value, and illusory ventures that may precipitate market instability. Those in positions of influence bear the responsibility to promote efficiency and judicious allocation of resources within governmental and corporate frameworks. Evaluating and, if necessary, discontinuing engagements with entities that offer negligible contributions to the advancement of artificial intelligence could serve to redirect efforts toward more fruitful endeavors. Such actions necessitate discernment informed by a comprehensive understanding of both the technological landscape and strategic objectives. The ethical considerations surrounding the deployment of autonomous systems, particularly in contexts that significantly impact societal structures and individual liberties, warrant careful deliberation. The integration of advanced technologies must be approached with a balance of innovation and responsibility, ensuring that implications for humanity are thoroughly assessed and aligned with moral imperatives. Reflecting upon past scholarly interactions and the dissemination of ideas underscores the enduring impact that intellectual contributions can have on the evolution of technology and society. The intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, exemplified by concepts such as neural interfacing, continues to shape discourse on human augmentation and cognitive enhancement. Correspondences received have expressed appreciation for the exploration of these complex topics, affirming the value of engaging with historical intellectual traditions while addressing contemporary issues. The endeavor to emulate the linguistic style of esteemed scholars not only pays homage to their legacy but also enriches the dialogue by integrating classical modes of thought with modern technological advancements. In summation, the pursuit of knowledge and the development of transformative technologies must be guided by principles of reason, humility, and a steadfast commitment to the common good. By fostering a critical and reflective approach to both personal endeavors and broader societal trends, one contributes to a future wherein progress is harmonized with the enduring values that underpin our collective humanity.

I don't watch a lot of media these days. Mostly, I've got Fox News Live or some Russian music videos playing in the background while I'm tinkering away on the computer. It's funny how I can't really dive into longer narratives anymore because my focus is so wrapped up in what I'm coding or experimenting with. Netflix and traditional TV have kind of faded into the background for me. YouTube fills in the gaps when I need a change of pace, but even then, it's more of the same background noise. So, with Musk and Trump having just won the White House, I can't help but wonder where we're headed. Musk being in power is a game-changer for artificial intelligence research—it's like opening the floodgates. He's going to have the green light to build out his vision of robot armies, and honestly, that both excites and terrifies me. On one hand, we're looking at incredible advancements in technology; on the other, there's this looming question about how it'll all be used. We're already testing robot technology in foreign war zones, and that's only going to accelerate the development of law enforcement drones here at home. Think about it: how else could you manage the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants? Robots could be the answer. And here's where my work comes into play. The encoding and decoding technology for speech recognition that I've been developing could be integral to this. Back when I was at Harvard, I took an entrepreneurship class where I started working on an application that uses the anatomy of linguistics as the foundational encoding architecture for the International Phonetic Alphabet. But instead of being limited to 150 or so characters, we're talking about leveraging millions of data points from three-dimensional anatomical models creating sound over time using fMRI data. This means an AI could understand speech at an anatomical level, analyze it, and then replicate it with new content. The medical applications of this are massive. Imagine prosthetic devices that not only restore speech but also adapt to the unique anatomical structures of each individual. Patients who've lost their ability to speak could have personalized solutions that go beyond the generic models we have today. Neural networks trained on this data could revolutionize how we approach speech therapy and rehabilitation. When I refer to "my technologies" or things I've "invented," I know it might come off as presumptuous or narcissistic. I get that others have walked this path before me, probably doing it better and faster. But by building these systems myself, I'm gaining a fundamental understanding of how they work, which allows me to think about real-world applications that aren't just pie-in-the-sky ideas. It's about grounding innovation in practicality. There's a lot of noise in the AI space right now—so many entrepreneurs who talk a big game but don't really grasp the underlying tech. They're well-connected, with family ties and educational backgrounds that open doors, allowing them to pull in huge amounts of venture capital. This is feeding into the so-called AI bubble that everyone's talking about, which I think is going to burst sooner or later, much like the dot-com boom did. But it won't spell the end for AI—just the end of the hype. Real machine learning applications are where the money's at, especially in medicine. We're talking about AI that can diagnose diseases from medical imaging faster and more accurately than human doctors, predictive models that can foresee health crises before they happen, and personalized medicine tailored to an individual's genetic makeup. These are the advancements that will stick around, bubble or no bubble. Musk's first order of business should be to streamline government operations by cutting off military contracts with these so-called AI companies that aren't delivering real value. Since AI has significant military applications, I wouldn't be surprised if a chunk of this AI bubble is inflated by government contracts. Musk, or at least the people in his circle, should be able to discern which ventures are viable and which are just smoke and mirrors. Terminating contracts with the latter could be a solid first step in making government spending more efficient. But back to the robot armies—Musk is probably going to build fleets of drones designed for tasks like immigration enforcement. It's wild to think that an idea I toyed with years ago, when I gave him a copy of my book in 2007, is edging closer to reality. That book had concepts that hinted at what would become Neuralink and even touched on the resurgence of political figures like Trump. The other day, I got an email from my dad. He wrote: "I appreciate your very lengthy exposition regarding the particulars of your application of LLMs and language/video/other applications. I like that you chose Aquinas, and it appears to be very consistent with sentence structure and vocabulary that I would expect to see from Aquinas if he spoke English. I've been seeing some of those 'reconstruction' videos on YouTube, too. Sort of hyped-up, modernized versions of older content, augmented by—well—augmented physical models, if you get my drift. I'm finding myself watching bowling videos instead. But that's okay. I hope you're enjoying this, and you're doing a great job of putting it into application. Congratulations, and well done! Love, Dad." It's nice to get that kind of support. Sometimes I get so deep into this stuff that I forget to come up for air. My dad's words reminded me that while I'm pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI and neural networks, there's a whole world out there that's trying to make sense of these advancements. The potential for medical technology here is immense. With the integration of advanced AI models and neural networks, we're on the cusp of developing prosthetics that can be controlled directly by neural signals, offering unprecedented levels of functionality to amputees. We're looking at AI systems that can predict disease outbreaks by analyzing patterns in data that are invisible to the human eye. And with advancements in personalized medicine, treatments can be tailored to individual genetic profiles, increasing their efficacy. But with all this progress, there's a responsibility to ensure that these technologies are used ethically. The same tools that can revolutionize healthcare can also be employed for surveillance or military purposes. It's a double-edged sword, and it's up to us—the developers, the policymakers, the users—to steer it in the right direction. So here I am, caught between excitement for what's possible and caution for what could go wrong. It's a strange place to be, but I wouldn't have it any other way. This is the frontier of technology, and we're all just trying to navigate it as best we can.

I remember when Herbert Walker was elected they spread rumors he was bringing back slavery and some people believed it. This always happens during elections. People lie. The democrats lied a lot to make people so afraid they would vote. So I would take all the fear mongering with a grain of salt. If I let world events determine my mood I would always be suffering, so instead I focus on my individual life and how I can be known for being a kind person in real life. That is what people do not understand. People say I am a horrible person because of what I type online, but everyone in real life thinks I am a kind, generous and thoughtful person because I am in real life. In real life I have a censor, just like everyone else. Online I am fearless and try to be kind in a different way. I try to speak my truth. I have lived a long and troubled at times life but I have navigated it successfully many times. Some people do not make it through where I have gone so I know the process and requirements to recover my own life and learn to set boundaries between my true self and the outside world. I am a great actor in real life, perhaps that is why people think highly of me in real life compared to how people treat me online. Maybe it is because I type quickly so my thoughts flow out. Regardless, my point is this. I don't let anything get in the way of my mission. My mission is to leave the world better than I encountered it. This requires knowing what is and is not possible for an individual and their impact on the world as well as their powerlessness to the grand events and trajectories of global events. Not just that but this includes other people's emotions. I don't let the emotions of others interfere with my emotions. My emotions are created when I think of them. For me there is thought first and then I decide how I want to present myself to the world. As a result I can hide my true thoughts. If the world knew my true thoughts I would be ostracized, thus I put on an act any time I am around people. In practice, the actions I do, the actions I perform are thoughtful, generous and kind. Why? Because I am acting and I know I am being observed. Observed by myself, by my true self. That is the only person I have to compare myself to and who I have control over, thus I don't care about how other people perceive me but rather I try to do better than my true self. But due to the things that happened to me my true self has become malformed. I know I was just trying to be supportive, but I often come off in a way that people do not like, for that I am sorry and I did not mean to, so have a nice day at work!

I can't predict if things will turn out catastrophic—we really don't know the future, do we? I remember during past elections, rumors would fly around about candidates doing outrageous things, and some people would buy into it. This seems to happen every election cycle. People spread misinformation, and it creates unnecessary fear. So, I tend to take all that fear-mongering with a grain of salt. If I let world events dictate my mood, I'd be constantly stressed. Instead, I focus on my own life and strive to be a kind person in the real world. It's interesting how people online might think I'm a horrible person because of what I type, but those who know me offline see me as kind, generous, and thoughtful. In person, I have that filter—we all do—but online, I let my thoughts flow more freely. Maybe it's because I type quickly and my thoughts just spill out. But regardless, the point is this: I don't let anything interfere with my mission. My goal is to leave the world better than I found it. This means understanding what's within my control and what's not, especially when it comes to global events that are beyond any individual's power. I also don't let other people's emotions affect mine. My emotions are a result of my own thoughts, and I choose how to present myself to the world. This allows me to hide my true thoughts when necessary. If people knew what I really thought, I might be ostracized, so I put on an act around others. In practice, my actions are thoughtful, generous, and kind. Why? Because I'm aware that I'm being observed—not just by others but by myself. I compare myself only to who I was before, striving to be better than my true self. Yet, due to past experiences, my true self has become somewhat distorted. I was just trying to be supportive, but I realize I often come across in ways people don't like. For that, I'm sorry—I didn't mean any harm. So, have a nice day at work!

If no one voted then they would have to come up with a different ruse to make it seem that the laws of the land originate from the people or from the other perspective that the rules of law come from above from the most high how it is that those that have control over the artificial multimodal language models will have control over the thoughts of people in the coming future. That is one of the wild things I am developing at Meta with their augmented reality technology except it is used to train multimodal language models which will create the ultimate method to go through all video and use search using a copression algorithm like principle content analysis or even gradient descent. But you can also use this software to create deepfakes, which is what we had a few days program right before the election, these types of contracts like this one all are around large scale events like an election or black friday or even a prime day now.

I don't really get involved in politics—it's just not my thing. I don't even vote. Sometimes I wonder, though, if everyone stopped voting, how would laws be justified? Maybe they'd claim authority from somewhere else. It's intriguing to think about how those who control advanced AI models could influence people's thoughts in the future. That's actually one of the projects I'm working on at Meta. We're developing augmented reality technology to train multimodal language models. The goal is to create an ultimate method to process and search through video content efficiently, using algorithms like principal component analysis or gradient descent. But this technology has multiple applications. For instance, it can be used to generate highly realistic synthetic videos. While this has positive uses in entertainment and education, it also raises concerns about deepfakes and misinformation. Around major events like elections or big shopping days, there's always a surge in activity related to these technologies.
