🧠 Today’s Tip: Use AI to Persuade Anyone to Do Anything
(Read time: five minutes) - Fun fact: I never change this.
Have you ever seen the movie Surrogates? Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell star, and it’s about a society where everyone has an attractive surrogate that goes into the world and lives their life for them while they sleep in a pod.
This Zoom news reminded me of this movie. “Zoom founder Eric Yuan has big ambitions in enterprise software, including letting your AI-powered ‘digital twins’ attend meetings for you.”
No, seriously, this sounds wild (and honestly amazing).
Essentially, in order to listen to the call but also to interact with a participant in a meaningful way. Let’s say the team is waiting for the CEO to make a decision or maybe some meaningful conversation, my digital twin really can represent me and also can be part of the decision making process. We’re not there yet, but that’s a reason why there’s limitations in today’s LLMs. Everyone shares the same LLM. It doesn’t make any sense. I should have my own LLM — Eric’s LLM, Nilay’s LLM. All of us, we will have our own LLM. Essentially, that’s the foundation for the digital twin. Then I can count on my digital twin. Sometimes I want to join, so I join. If I do not want to join, I can send a digital twin to join. That’s the future.

Latest News.
My take: When LLMs are trained on the entire internet and all works of art ever created, I don’t know how we get away from this other than not allowing people to label works with the names of any artist.
My take: I should have something clever to say here, but honestly, I just read this article. It took me a few reads to understand the magnitude of this technology. Wow.
My take: We’ve dealt with Siri for so long. We actually deserve this. If Google paid $20B to be the official search engine on the iPhone, what did Apple pay to have ChatGPT power their iOS AI?
My take: Say what you want about Amazon. There’s a lot to say. But this is the coolest use of AI that I have ever seen. At Amazon’s scale, I don’t even know how you could rely on anything other than AI.
