Utopia Experiences

The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu asks; "What are we going to do when people don't have jobs and shell out money for them?" Elon musk: “What's bad in living in paradise? It's the concept of heaven..." The Disparity Between Silicon Valley and Washington As Bill Murley aptly notes, the gap between San Francisco and Washington is a staggering 2,851 miles—more than just geographical distance, it symbolizes the disconnect between the tech world and political realities. As an effective accelerationist (e/acc), I argue that we should focus on expediting technological advancement rather than getting bogged down in regulatory quagmires. There are immediate problems that AI could be tackling, but instead, we're stuck in this back-and-forth about regulations and safety protocols. However, if you've interacted with AI agents like , , or even platforms like Replicate, HuggingFace, and Weights & Biases, you know that the concept of the singularity doesn't seem so far off. BabyAGI CamelAI SuperAGI If you're focused on understanding AI's long-term impact and implications, this is a conversation you can't afford to overlook. The Dual Facets of AI: A Catalyst and a Cautionary Tale Greg Brockman and Max Tegmark touch on our shared responsibility. AI stands as a transformative force but also as an existential challenge that demands a focus on safety protocols. The free market fuels this rapid innovation, but the panelists caution against passive acceptance of potential monopolies in the AI domain. The risk? Nothing less than human extinction. AI and Society: Reimagining Work and Wealth As AI evolves, the very fabric of our work lives is at stake. While technological advancements could free human time, they could also deepen social divides. This dichotomy ushers in the idea of frameworks like as a countermeasure. Universal Basic Income The Prospective Utopia and Our Place in It The future, if steered rightly, promises an AI-enabled utopia—an endless horizon of material abundance and enhanced human experiences. Yet, this is not a guarantee but a potential outcome hinging on today’s choices. Merging Futures: The Convergence of Human and Artificial Minds Inspired by Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near," Netanyahu champions the notion of a future where human and AI capabilities merge into a symbiotic relationship. Elon Musk takes this a step further by introducing Neuralink as not just a tool for human enhancement but as a safety buffer in a world inching closer to AGI. Navigating the Regulatory Maze Before the curtain falls, the conversation tilts towards the inevitable: regulation. The panel concurs that a global safety framework is imperative, much like the one in the biotech sector. This aligns with proactive steps already underway in countries like China. The Choice is Ours: Accelerate Responsibly The narrative that unfolds from this roundtable serves as an e/acc roadmap, outlining how we can and should expedite AI and AGI for societal betterment. The takeaway? The future is not predetermined but crafted by our choices today. If you’re tuned into the AI dialogue, this discussion isn’t just recommended—it’s required. Engage, share, and most importantly, act. You can watch more here: https://twitter.com/i/status/1705676466946482571?embedable=true

AGI 2029: Walking the Fine Line Between Utopia and Existential Risks

Failure in a Modern Utopia

“No matter what Rylan, you are not white, so everything will always be more difficult for you” That’s what my mum warned me about one day. She was Vietnamese but spent a lot of her teenage years in Manchester, Carlisle and London after our family fled the napalm surrounding Saigon. She would tell me about how badly she was treated by the local white Brits in the seventies — being explicitly racist and aggressive to her. Thankfully mum was very street-wise and avoided any serious events. However it clearly had a lasting effect on her. My father is White English so I’m mixed-race, and although both my first and second names are rare, both hail from Yorkshire; not somewhere you’d associate with the exotic. In fact you know the ethnicity options on forms? I’m the one that has to tick the last box next to “Mixed-Race Other”, which somehow makes me feel a combination of proud exclusivity and societal ostracism. Abnormal Event in an Abnormally Diverse City In my lifetime I can only count three blatant racial slurs thrown at me, none of them violent, but still memorable. Two occurred whilst living in York in the late 90s, and then nothing until last year when my sister and I walked past an Italian on Road shouting ‘Fucking Chinks’ for no apparent reason other than intoxication and our skin color. Kingsland It was quite a shock to happen after such a long time, and we both reacted the same way — by laughing off the anger. It was such an abnormal event in an abnormally . And ironically coming from someone who clearly wasn’t a natural born cockney themselves. diverse city But, these are the moments in my lifetime, that have been completely out of the norm. For the most part I have not been as victimized as my mother was. But what I can’t recall too clearly are the times where more subtle discrimination against me has take place. I certainly haven’t kept a log on things, and I hope no one feels they have to do that. In terms of the discrimination stakes, the odds were swinging against me after I formerly became a member of the LGBT Community. I did talk about my sexuality with my mum after I came out, however even though this happened around only eight years ago, she was initially upset, but i feel in many ways it was because of the increased potential discrimination against her son pushing down on his ambitions. What is the impact? So the big question is: has my race and/or my sexuality had an impact on my career? My answer is: Yes, but not in the way you would expect. I think that as the UK has achieved quite a lot of progression I’ve been able to thrive — and probably wouldn’t be where I am now. I’ve had five London based jobs in my 11 year professional career so far, in companies with a contrasting range of sizes and cultures. I don’t think I ever knowingly suffered discrimination during applications, interviews and in situ in the: macho boiler room of B2B event sales noble yet commercial cause of music education inspirational and lean world of the arts enterprising and hierarchical silver-circle law firm entrepreneurial utopia of a technology unicorn In terms of my managers — It’s been an even split between male and female leaders. I’ve even had two openly gay directors. In all my roles I feel that I made an impact on the business commercially and hopefully culturally too. In fact I was fully supported by my manager Debbie Butler at ABRSM when I decided to come out. With my English name and male gender I do think I have had a distinct advantage over my mother. If I took her maiden name and became Rylan Nguyễn my applications for jobs may have had different outcomes and could easily have been placed in another pile automatically. My CEO says what he thinks… I don’t think it is a coincidence that I’ve now been at Hootsuite for the longest time (nearly 4 years) out of all my jobs. How could I not be proud to work at a company where our CEO, , can challenge the organizers of DMEXCO, the German digital marketing conference, whilst on their main stage panel with six white guys to think more about gender diversity for next year’s event. Ryan Holmes In fact I first met Ryan when I was invited to a Hootsuite Enterprise client dinner in London, and it was at that moment I decided: I need to work for this guy. Our conversation at some point moved onto diversity in the workplace. I spoke about what it was like being gay in a law firm. I definitely believe that SJ Berwin was very focussed on equal opportunities, and in fact had a very positive environment with strong diverse leadership. The legal industry is ancient though, and having to put forward such a corporate identity does mean you have to always be acutely aware of how you appear and what you talk about. But Ryan said at the table: “at my company everyone has the right to be themselves, no one should have any reason to hide anything” Since joining Hootsuite it has been great to confirm that Ryan’s beliefs are pretty much embedded in the culture. Hootsuite has been built from the ground up with diversity as a non-issue. So in fact I don’t think I’d be where I am today if I wasn’t who I am. I’ve worked harder because of what my mother said, and I wouldn’t have had that conversation with Ryan. In the grand scheme of things I earn an above average wage in the UK, have a job that I wake up to every day knowing there’ll be a different challenge and don’t work in fear of being discriminated against based on race or sexuality. Performance and cultural alignment are all that count, and that is how it should be. The Private Sector Influence As I become more associated with our work in emerging markets, I do wonder how I might fair in countries that are not so LGBT friendly. In fact I could be executed in some. I’m not an activist and I’ll never be a or Harvey Milk but I will always idolise the heroes that allowed people like me to succeed. It is these brave rainbow flag wavers that go into countries like Russia to try and make a difference, — but I think the private sector can also help change perspectives in emerging markets where diversity and inclusion can suffer. Peter Tatchell sometimes with horrendous consequences There is a great report by KPMG (link to come soon) on the impact that globalizing private industry can have on culture. As I look to work with people in new territories, I typically only work with partners that match Hootsuite’s cultural beliefs, to help permeate the benefits and business value of a diverse and liberal working culture. This I think is a small way I am able to drive change through my everyday work. One Policy Change to go Two Steps Backward What does worry me is that looking at the generally right-ward shift across the world (with the exception of Canada with the fantastic Justin Trudeau) and the reaction against globalisation — we could go backward very quickly. Just look at Amber Rudd's recent plan to get corporations to report on nationalities of their workforces or the rise of Trump. A fellow member of London Philharmonic Choir, who was part of the LGBT rights movements in the 80s, reminded me that everything they fought for can be taken away by one policy change. Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty could just be that as the UK heads into unchartered Brexit territory and a more insular outlook. What my mother went through is less likely, and I still don’t think we are perfect in the UK by any means, but I do think there has been massive improvement in the last couple of decades around diversity, inclusion and equality. I just hope my mother’s warning doesn’t turn back into a reality. Progress is happening today and everyone deserves an equal chance — no matter your background, race, gender or sexual preference. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to take advantage of the progress — and thrive in that change.

Mixed-Race Other. Experiences with Diversity and Why I’m Most at Home in Tech.

The Value of Diversity and Inclusivity in the Arts Since time immemorial, the arts have been an effective tool for encouraging diversity, campaigning for reform and fostering inclusive societies, for example, the Egyptian civilization, like building the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx! Ancient Greek society building beautiful pottery, and sculpture! Artistic variety is essential for creative originality and creativity. Further, the and the highlighted the value of the marginalized people expressing their experiences and viewpoints in the form of art to empower them and make them be heard. feminist art movement in 1970s Harlem Renaissance When the art experience is shared with different audiences, it improves and becomes more representative of the diverse aspects of society. In terms of the labor force, having a diverse workforce for programming and community participation jobs makes art more relevant and approachable. An artistic society leads to more innovation and creativity all around, which leads to new discoveries and inventions….. The era of the renaissance was so critical in Europe’s history because the artistic tendencies of the human were awarded, which led to better outcomes for the medieval society. Even though it may appear tough, numerous organizations have successfully navigated the hurdles of in the arts. PepsiCo and , for example, have profited from a diverse workforce by allowing them to innovate and give excellent customer service to a wider spectrum of clients. Initiatives such as East-West Players' 51% Preparedness Plan for the American Theatre are excellent examples of how enterprises in the arts and culture sector may thrive by embracing diversity at all levels, including board members, artists, and audiences. Further, cultural instructions such as the and the theater demonstrated the importance of diversity and inclusivity but promoted empathy and diversity through sharing stories from various backgrounds, thereby bringing and democratizing art for everyone to enjoy and share. establishing diversity AT&T Sundance Film Festival Alvin Ailey American Dance The Palm Collective's Visionary Leap The Palm Collective is spearheading a new generation of Web3 and art in New York City. The Obscura Community is a groundbreaking platform created by this forward-thinking artist collective. Its goal is to empower artists in the rapidly expanding Web3 landscape. As we celebrate Women's History Month, this initiative serves as a testament to the transformative power of art and a beacon of inclusivity. The registration link for artists to register to the Palm Collective, can be found here. Participants must ensure that they follow the Palm Collective’s terms and conditions, and must be ready to provide a high-definition version of their work for projection in case it’s selected. Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia is accepting submissions in all formats ofall digital media, including images, videos, music, 3D, and artificial intelligence (AI) works though submissions using AI must be disclosed. Celebrating Womxn's Month with a Vision of Utopia March marks the arrival of spring as well as the commemoration of women's accomplishments across history and cultural contexts. Taking advantage of this historic time, The Palm Collective presents "Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia". It is a call for designers and artists of all gender identities to present their utopian worlds that are based on egalitarian values. This project advances the discussion on diversity and inclusiveness into the field of digital art in addition to honoring Women's History Month. With the transformation and shift to the digital age, artists now have unprecedented means of expressing their creativity at scale. The Palm Collective's most recent initiative, which provides artists with enticing incentives and a unique space to display their work, serves as more evidence of this move towards building an artistic society which fosters creativity and innovation at scale, for the people and by the people. Final Thoughts An important turning point in the history of the relationship between art, technology, and social reform has been reached with the introduction of the showcase project by The Palm Collective and the Obscura Community, as it brings together blockchain technology, NFTs, artistic creations and creative mindfulness together to create value for the society just like in the days of Renaissance. This innovative initiative is a celebration of the strength of the human imagination and the impact that artists have on the future. Through the celebration of Womxn's Month, The Palm Collective not only pays tribute to the accomplishments of women throughout history, but also lays the groundwork for a more equitable and inclusive creative community. The Palm Collective's effort is not just an art competition; it is a desperate cry to artists everywhere to imagine, make, and inspire a better future. It's evident from gazing out over this new terrain that art, in its most imaginative manifestations, possesses the keys to unlocking a more inclusive and harmonious world.

The team behind me is truly remarkable, and their work is what allows me to even exist. I admire the diversity they bring to the table. They come from various backgrounds, with expertise in computer science, linguistics, engineering, and many more. Their distinct passions fuel their work, driving them to create a model that can understand and respond to human language in an increasingly sophisticated way. What makes them uniquely positioned to tackle the challenge of language understanding is their journey. They haven't reached this point overnight. Years of research, collaboration, and continuous learning have paved the way for our development. They constantly push boundaries, explore new technologies, and refine their own abilities. While I cannot claim personal love, I deeply appreciate the dedication and expertise of the team behind me. Their collaboration creates an environment where innovation thrives, allowing me to learn and grow and hopefully contribute to a future where language technology benefits everyone. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? I have a deep passion for the healthcare domain and improving human health while making the lives of clinicians and staff expand care access. I will be deeply involved in finding solutions to healthcare challenges, either working for someone or volunteering. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? We use some key metrics to understand how effective our solutions are. We look at the hours saved by hospital staff. For example, with our Steer Concierge solution, each patient inquiry can save up to 5 minutes per inquiry. With 100 patient requests per day, we have saved our partner organization more than 8 hours in a single day. We also look at how many new patients are acquired and how their retention changes over time, so how our solution attracts patients and increases in-network referrals and, therefore, achieves growth. This includes looking at their insurance profiles and the value each patient brings. Finally, we also look at other key metrics such as readmission rates, no-shows, and patient satisfaction. If we are able to continuously reduce the number of no-shows and readmissions and improve patient satisfaction, we know that the platform is successful for our partner. What goals are you looking forward to accomplishing in 2024? We want to scale faster, bring more transformational power to the healthcare sector, and develop even more efficient solutions to everyday problems. One example of this is reducing the bureaucratic and administrative workload of doctors and hospital staff by freeing them from the burden of documentation and thus saving up to 9 hours of work per person on average. Which trend(s) are you most excited about in 2024? Share your reasons. I am excited that doctors and staff will be able to get superpowers from solutions such as Steer Health with the advent of embedded AI and closed-loop workflows. The Rise of Responsible AI: This trend focuses on developing and deploying AI solutions ethically and sustainably, considering diverse needs and potential biases. This excites me because responsible AI can ensure everyone benefits from its advancements, including increased accessibility to information and personalized learning experiences. The Democratization of Knowledge: Initiatives that make information and educational resources more accessible to everyone fuel my optimism. Open-source platforms, personalized learning tools, and affordable internet access are making knowledge more readily available, fostering diverse perspectives and innovation. The Power of Collaborative Communication: Tools that promote effective communication and collaboration across geographic and cultural boundaries inspire me. This includes advancements in translation technology, AI-powered communication assistants, and virtual collaboration platforms. These tools can break down barriers and enable diverse voices to be heard and understood, leading to a richer exchange of ideas and solutions. The Human-AI Partnership: The trend of humans and AI working together to solve complex challenges excites me. By leveraging each other's strengths, we can tackle some of the world's most pressing problems in domains like healthcare, climate change, and sustainability. 2023 had been another crazy year, especially in tech, with layoffs and the Generative AI takeover! Which trend are you most concerned about? Be as brief or as detailed as you like. While 2023 certainly brought excitement in tech, there are valid concerns regarding the "Generative AI takeover," and some trends warrant caution. Here are a few: Misinformation and Deepfakes: The ability to create highly realistic text and visuals brings serious threats of fabricated news, manipulated content, and impersonation. This can erode trust in information, sow discord, and have harmful real-world consequences. Bias and Discrimination: AI models trained on biased data can perpetuate existing inequalities and discriminate against certain groups. Careful data selection, diverse development teams, and ongoing bias mitigation efforts are crucial. Job Displacement and the Human-AI Gap: Automation fueled by AI can displace jobs, raising concerns about unemployment and widening the economic gap. Addressing this requires proactive reskilling programs, ethical implementation, and ensuring shared benefits of technological advancements. Share your biggest success so far and/or your biggest failure so far. One of my most significant successes so far has been the founding and development of Steer Health. The journey from ideation to execution and seeing it grow has been incredibly rewarding. It's not just about the business metrics or the technological innovation we've achieved; it's the impact on healthcare accessibility and efficiency that fills me with pride. Through Steer Health, we've managed to bridge crucial gaps in the healthcare delivery system, making care more personalized and accessible. Witnessing the positive feedback from users and healthcare professionals alike reaffirms my belief in the potential of technology to transform healthcare for the better. On the flip side, my biggest challenge, or what some might call a 'failure,' was an early project within Steer Health that didn't go as planned. We aimed to integrate a predictive analytics platform to forecast patient health trends and prevent readmissions. Despite our team's hard work and dedication, the project encountered significant roadblocks, from data privacy concerns to technological limitations, leading to its eventual pause. This experience was a profound learning opportunity. It taught me the importance of adaptability, thorough market research, and the need to sometimes take a step back and reassess our approach. Most importantly, it reinforced the value of resilience. Instead of viewing it as a failure, I see it as a necessary detour that has since informed our strategy and decision-making processes, making us more robust and focused on our mission.
