AI Mavericks

Sometimes it feels like everyone is talking about AI, but nobody really knows how it works. Most people that try to explain it, use a ton of technical jargon and talk right over our heads. As a business guy, I like to try and oversimplify everything. So here’s all you really need to know about the big tech breakthroughs that got us to where today. 1980s/1990s: Development of Neural Networks If you asked a Neural Network what it did, one thing it would say is this: I UNDERSTAND HUMAN LANGUAGE (that’s all you need to know). 2017: Transformers (A Type of Neural Network) If you asked a Transformer what it did, one thing it would say is this: I CAN READ ONE BOOK & MEMORIZE EVERYTHING. IF YOU ASK ME A QUESTION, I KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE ANSWER. IF YOU ASK ME TO WRITE A STORY, I CAN BASED ON WHAT I LEARNED. Post 2017: Large Language Models (A Type of Transformer) If you asked a Large Language Model what it did, one thing it would say is this: I CAN READ A MILLION BOOKS & MEMORIZE EVERYTHING. IF YOU ASK ME A QUESTION, I KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE ANSWER. IF YOU ASK ME TO WRITE A BOOK, DRAW A PICTURE, OR MAKE A VIDEO, I CAN BASED ON WHAT I LEARNED. Large Language Models are the brains behind ChatGPT, GROK, DEEP SEEK, and other LLMs. As a business person, that’s really all you need to know. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #MachineLearning #FutureOfWork #AIforBusiness Twitter (X) Version: Everyone's talking about AI, but few explain it simply. Here’s all you need to know: ?? 1980s/90s - Neural Networks → “I understand human language.” ?? 2017 - Transformers → “I can read one book & remember everything.” ?? Post-2017 - LLMs → “I can read a million books & create anything.” That’s how we got ChatGPT & more. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #MachineLearning #AIforBusiness #AIMavericks

The Internet was created in 1969. It took 25 years for the first true consumer application to arrive. That was the Netscape Navigator web browser in December 1994. The term AI was first used in 1956. It took almost 70 years for the first true consumer application to arrive. That was ChatGPT in November 2022. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechHistory #DigitalRevolution #AIforBusiness #Innovation #FutureOfWork #AIMavericks

Over the years, a lot of people have asked how I got into the training business. Well, it was literally by "accident." During my junior year at the University of San Diego, I was in a terrible car accident. I had two brain hemorrhages and had to drop out of school for a bit while recovering. During that time, I picked up a habit. I started listening to motivational books on tape. That's really all I did—all day, every day. The first person I listened to was Denis Waitley. To me, he was always the gold standard. I felt what I learned from Denis about mindset helped me get better. He's my favorite to this day. Listening to him inspired me to listen to others. I was so inspired, I left college for good after my junior year, and my first job was working for Tony Robbins. But over the next 25 years, it seemed like I met all the old legends—except Denis. 25 years later, a friend was holding an event. He knew this story and asked me to go to the greenroom. He had a surprise. And it was this (see pic)—introducing me to Denis Waitley! To me, it was like meeting Michael Jordan. ?? Best part? He and I both left the event early to head to the reception afterward. Well, the event ran one hour late, and Denis and I got there early! So for the next hour, he and I sat alone in a big ballroom and laughed! It was like one hour alone with the #1 person in the world I’d like to spend an hour with. He was cooler than I could have imagined and it was truly one of the best days of my life. The number one lesson I learned from Denis is that: "Winning is not about achieving victory at the expense of others, but rather about progressively pursuing your goals while benefiting and uplifting those around you; essentially, focusing on a 'win-win' mentality where success is achieved by helping others succeed as well." #ThrowbackThursday #DenisWaitley #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Success #WinningMindset #Motivation #SelfImprovement #Inspiration

The term AI was first used in the 1950s. Over the years, there have been so many technical innovations. But it wasn’t until the 1990s the average American had ever seen AI in action. Here’s where it all started.. #AIMavericks #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TechHistory #Innovation #MachineLearning #BusinessGrowth #AIMavericks
