How I got ChatGPT to be my slave last week.

If you're going to end up Mining Data, you might as well employ a friend who will work for next to nothing.

May 10, 2023

In Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Huck Finn is tasked by his Aunt Polly to whitewash a long fence on a hot summer day. Huck does not want to do the work, so he decides to use psychology to trick his friend, Tom Sawyer, into doing it for him.

Huck begins by pretending to enjoy the work of whitewashing the fence, acting as if it is a privilege that he alone is allowed to do. When Tom comes by and asks what Huck is doing, Huck tells him that he is whitewashing the fence, but that he can't let Tom try it because it's too difficult and requires a lot of skill.

Tom is initially skeptical of Huck's claims, but he is also curious and wants to try the task for himself. Huck then offers to let Tom try it, but only if Tom gives him something in return. Tom offers Huck a small trinket, but Huck pretends that it's not enough. He then tells Tom that if he wants to try whitewashing the fence, he'll have to pay him a large sum of money or do something equally valuable.

Tom is desperate to try the task, so he begins to offer increasingly valuable items to Huck, including a brass doorknob and a kite. Huck continues to demand more, until eventually Tom offers to trade his entire collection of marbles. Huck agrees, and Tom begins to whitewash the fence with enthusiasm.

As Tom works, other boys pass by and express interest in trying the task, but Huck refuses to let them, telling them that it's too difficult and requires a lot of skill. Soon, all of the boys in the neighborhood are begging to whitewash the fence, and Huck is able to sit back and relax, enjoying his newfound wealth.

Boom

I knew I had to get another writing off to you today, and I didn’t know if I had time to explain that whole story, and then share a story of my own… then I reminded myself, “Wait… I can get it to do the simple tasks for me.”

It has a ways to go before it captures my writing style, but those first 5 paragraphs took me about 25 seconds to write, from start to finish, because I got my friend to do it for me.

Don’t think AI is your friend?

Trust me - I have my reservations as well. It’s very advisable to look at innovations like this with open-minded skepticism. The open to learn lots, but keep your cards close.

[in relation to this, I’m setting up a small VPN for our community to help y’all out]

I’m getting pretty good at using AI now, so I’m uploading the last three sessions of “Master the Matrix” we have had to Descript and it’s going to edit the video and audio for me for about $2 - and about 1 hour of my time.

In the past, that would normally take me 5-6 hours of editing and video processing - per video.

Remember this post, and in this recording, when I talked about “The Miner’s Friend”?

That’s what I am making out of AI. This means I will spend less time in front of a screen to help people live like they’re free - and when I do spend time in front of it, it will be spent making meaningful connections with you - the people - the very demographic that will be driving the 4th Industrial Revolution.

The more you’re driving like you’re in charge, the more you’ll be ‘Self-Governing’
(like I’ve been teaching)

The more you self-govern, the more free you feel day to day.

Notice I didn’t say, “The more free you are”? That’s because you’re already free. You just have times where you don’t feel it, because you’re trapped doing things you don’t want to do.

Like a Whitewasher.

Or like a miner. Think about it… you’re mining Data every time you’re on your phone, or at your computer.

Data is the commodity of the future.

And it’s here today!

(If you need to see what I mean by this, read
Implications of the New World Order Behind a Runny Nose
There is No Recession
As the Potential, So the Freedom
and I explained it at greater length in this 40m video “Let’s Transform Our Nation” as well.)

You’re mining Data already.

All this time, you’ve been mining it for “Aunt Polly”. Now, practice outsourcing that labour with the modern-day Miner’s Friend.

This is why I teach people how to Master the Matrix.

I subscribe to a lot of news around AI… and I’m so thankful that there’s no censorship around this kind of news. I think the elites censor things like Jabs and Chemtrails and Flat Earth videos because they know people will dig deeper - keeping them sidetracked from the underlying problems behind those things.

Yes. That’s what I said. The jabs, chemtrails, climate change agenda, flat earth debates, Alphabet culture, and especially corruption in politicks -

are all symptoms

My job is to get people to focus on what’s more important.

Stuff like this:

This week, in one leaked statement, a Google employee confirmed:

They are very far behind Microsoft in AI development
(who is currently the leader in mainstream AI development with ChatGPT-4)
Microsoft is even further behind open source, independent developers’ communities.

He said,

While our models still hold a slight edge in terms of quality, the gap is closing astonishingly quickly. Open-source models are faster, more customizable, more private, and pound-for-pound more capable. They are doing things with $100 and 13B params that we struggle with at $10M and 540B [params]1. And they are doing so in weeks, not months. This has profound implications for us.

This means we, the people, are securing AI dominance.

And the more people learn how to employ it like a friend, the more it will give you in return.

"built with AI"

I’m going all in on this. We need to get off our computers, and I believe within the next 2 years, the only screen time we will have will be to meet with people face-to-face by distance - and even THAT is going to be notably more immersive an experience.

Now, I said I made ChatGPT my slave. What do I mean by that?

Much of what I do is help people navigate sticky situations where they’ve been harmed.

I did it during 2020, helping businesses deal with health authorities that had zero authority to tell them how to run their businesses
during 2021, I helped people let their employers know they were being thrown under the bus by the government in complying with ‘mandatory vaccination’ policies
and I toured western Canada in 2022 to help communities see how they could self-govern and kick their local governments to the curb.

There were days in 2021, where I would be writing for people 16-20 hours a day.

Now ChatGPT doesn’t like to do my kind of work. It always comes up with an excuse that looks like:

BLEEP BLURP

But my friend Wayne had a dentist that may have really messed up on a pretty serious procedure. When this mistake was brought to the dentist, instead of taking responsibility, he said “Hindsight is 20-20” and proceeded to offer to fix the problem for an additional $3000.

[note: Wayne was on disability for almost 18 months, and then took early retirement when he found out that he wouldn’t be able to return to work because of the ‘vaccine mandates’. $3000 was not an option]

Obviously, I knew AI wouldn’t help me write a letter that could have legal consequence, but I’d learned a slick trick from one of my sources:

You can give AI a persona.

Well now, that sets a different stage, doesn’t it?

I had Wayne record his testimony with my phone’s voice recorder and we transcribed the 10 minute clip in 40 seconds. He spent about 30 minutes fixing up some extra details, then I uploaded that script to ChatGPT.

It wasn’t bad, but we felt it needed an adjustment, so I said,

As you can see, it didn’t skip a beat.

So I tested further:

And it proceeded to compose ANOTHER VERSION that was even better written than the first!

It was more concise, used less paragraphs, and maintained the desired intention of being factual and not aggressive or pointing blame.

Almost as if that little bit of extra context into the situation altered the AI’s perspective enough to make the entire correspondence more meaningful.

This was done in our spare time, and probably only took about 45 minutes in total. Wayne was afraid this was going to take a few hours.

Instead of slaving in front of the computer for an afternoon, we had fun.

This is my work.

‘Params’ are the geek’s word for parameters.
