— Kansas. Not in it. Anymore. Toto. I have a feeling. Dead Puppies.

In case you've read some of my previous emails and posts lately and rolled your eyes at all the hyperbole surrounding long hours—not knowing which way is up, down, left, right, light, dark, day, night, wet, or dry—I offer hard-data evidence that just popped up in my notifications this morning (at least I think it was morning...not so sure).

I was surprised. I would have underestimated. So, not so much hype at all, then. Neither is this: none of that average 4 hours sleep on average was a single session. Two to three per day.

The routine has been to work until I can't keep my eyes open, close it all down, blackout curtains, A/C and fans on, sleep until I wake up; then get up and soldier on. I may have caught upwards of 3 hours in a single session a couple of times. I tried détente by watching some Netflix. Even an action flick can't keep me awake.

I've made a video about the practical. This is a scatching of the surface of what's possible and there are more possibilities every day—and ChatGPT (and others like Bing AI search/chat) are but weeks old.

I'm just sayin'. At the same time, I get it. Many of you don't even want to look.

I've got hard and tough news for you, every one of you: It aint' goin' away, and all reluctance to look, learn, get involved, and use it puts you further and further behind those who are embracing it...already in the millions. They are getting competitive head starts on you by leaps and bounds; and daily, that distance grows and accelerates, which means that the gap widens by an increasingly greater amount every day. Today, they're gaining a mile on you per day. Next week, 10 miles. Then a hundred miles per day...then a thousand.

... I'm being dead serious and this has nothing to do with being a paying member or not, accessing my better-than-best-class tools, or getting them somewhere else. That part's up to you. Having AI be a huge part of your life?

Not up to you. Not even a little.

You will. Whether you like it, or not. Neither nature, nor anyone else, gives a shit what you "think" about it.

Get your head out of the sand. I see the logs. Less than 2% of all members OR non-members (the email list has 5000+ subscribers) have even tried it out once. Perhaps a third of one percent are hyper-down with it and are using it. From my perspective, it's exactly like old fogies in the late 80s and early 90s resisting getting on a computer and learning how to use it.

How did that work out?

AI is a million times that, and both ways. The potential benefits from harnessing it; or, the devastating consequences of falling too far behind. At least, you ought to be assessing how long until you're completely out of a job or profession. For example, how long until medical doctors are obsolete?

This is only after 6 weeks of ChatGPT-4...
