Daniel Miessler: belief

Transcript context

…at least available? Yeah, I think the very polished versions will take a lot of time and it'll be highly vendor locked. So for example, an open AI version, I'm not sure you're able to see your files and edit it. I guess you probably could, but it's going to be a lot more opaque. An Apple version of this, which we're probably going to see this year, it sounds like through Gemini, right through Google. So that whole ecosystem of all your Apple data, that's now going to be available via, I don't know if they're going to keep the S name. I don't want to trigger my thing, but I don't know if they're going to keep that name, but this is going to happen in their world too. But you're definitely not going to have the same access to the environment that you do in the cloud code. So here's my aggressive way of answering your question. Right now is like the craziest moment of punctuated equilibrium of the world is changing so rapidly right now. So you do not want to wait to have an AI platform that understands you and can help you go from, I've got this concept within Pi, which I'm trying to convert to being the primary center of the algorithm or the center of the platform. But it's a little bit, it's outside of my working memory and IQ capabilities. So I'm like really trying to push on this thing. But it's essentially this thing I wrote about a long time ago, which is the desire to move the universal algorithm is going from current state to ideal state. That's the universal algorithm. And this is within Pi. And then inside of that current state to desired state, you have the scientific method. So if you look at like the Ralph loop, have you seen that? The Ralph loop for, yeah. So this is, I've been thinking about this forever. What is the loop that your AI platform is constantly trying to perform on your behalf? So it's literally saying, Daniel is in this state, career-wise, personal-wise, and everything. We're trying to get him to this state. And also when he asks a random tactical question, what is the current state? What is the ideal state? And how do we rotate through this loop to get him there? That is so powerful. You want to start right now with it. You want to get into a system that can do this for you. I've been hearing really good things about open code lately, that they are actually shipping features and stuff like that. Somebody wants to use open code. I say go for it. I just think most of the innovation on the scaffolding is stronger on cloud code. But I would say do not wait. Do not wait to build an AI that has your telos and knows what your ideal state is. Because think of it this way: every time you ask a rando AI a question and get back an answer, the whole purpose of getting back that answer is to do something that furthers your goals. If that is 50% better or 5% better or 2% better inside of this personalized system than it is in a disjointed system, those accrue. Those add up. That means I'm going to be way further ahead. r goals. If that is 50% better or 5% better or 2% better inside of this personalized system than it is in a disjointed system, those accrue. Those add up. That means I'm going to be way further ahead. Anybody using a Pi system, in my opinion, is going to be way further ahead in a week or six months or two years than somebody who's using the disjointed system. So I would say the worst possible time to wait and see is right now. One other way I can imagine trying to construct something like this, and I can definitely see advantages and disadvantages, but I kind of want to get your thoughts on them. So I'm using, again, all the Frontier companies, just mainline products, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. I also have been a big fan of Tasklet recently, which has been a sponsor of the podcast, but I genuinely really like using it. It allows you to create these sort of long-running agents that basically have a job for you. And I shared the outline of questions that Tasklet created for this conversation. And I give it access to Drive.…
