Brothers - I had a few responses to my last AI missive - though frustratingly not on LW. It's OK! to use LW. We are designing it to facilitate interaction among Lamps and the ability to help each other out and to achieve great things. It will be expanded into many areas as we move forward. - So I'm just concluding a 2 1/2 week trip to the Phlippines to see family with Mrs. B. and to attend personal meetings on our businesses here. One of the things we've done over the last 20 years is to develop a semi-AI software for our agricultural businesses which VASTLY increases productivity at all levels of our businesses - from farmers to worldwide negotiatons. That software is a powerful and valuable intangible asset - and we are now getting inquiries from very large agricultural corporations about accessing it (like Dole, as an example - a huge company). Bizzarely almost, we will soon have AI-ish software as a major product of our company - which performs better than humans can. - - - So that is why I was saying in my former post about this that no matter what you are involved in as a profession, to succeed you must understand how AI is going to impact it and become ane expert on it. I was asked for the best youtube video I know of re. AI. Here it is: https://youtu.be/UclrVWafRAI Enjoy, but do think. It is sobering. Your futures and your families' futures will likely depend on your understanding of what is coming. Be good, cool, wise gents!

the AI is done with my task. 17 mins between initiating the task and robust completion. pretty amazing. AND with the compute cost of 22 cents.
i do not want to spam the comment section, but important point you touch on here: AI as an asset. system prompts and leverage are the new moat of businesses. there are many who will tell you that in the AI era, the only moats are vapid terms like "momentum" or "mindshare". those are important, but the fact remains that the underlying system prompts can affect outputs, highlighting the importance of prompt engineering.
