Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten…

It brings together material from my internal systems, from our CRM system, from our research engine, from data.
x from my email from other sources and it ranks the things that it thinks are important for me and given my work a lot of the things that are important for me are outward facing they're not necessarily about projects and things that are happening internally this is a live knowledge dashboard The thing about this is it's live now, right now, and it runs on a Mac Mini in my studio, just over there.
And they built it overnight over the course of a couple of days with my feedback.
It was a bit shonky as any new piece of code, but ultimately, It works, and I've iterated a couple of times, and it's something that I now use every day.
Now, that super agent, the primary agent that orchestrated and coordinated all of that is called R. Minnie Arnold.
In those novels, robots that were intelligent were given that moniker R for robot, R. Daniel Olivo.
And it's what we use when we are naming agents of the type that I've just described today with an exponential view.
What about the name Arnold? In the Terminator films, in the second Terminator film, Arnold Schwarzenegger comes back to protect humanity from the even more Terminator-y Terminators.
And so our mini Arnold, because my agent is not as big as Mr. Schwarzenegger, is sitting in that Mac Mini and doing all of that work.
I've been running our mini Arnold or RMA, as I will call it during the course of this conversation, for about a month.
