Ask the Mates anything | MOONSHOTS AMA #289

Yeah, just, just one last thing.

I, I closely follow Imad and his sovereign ide- idea of a sovereign agent.

Right.

I'm wondering if we can apply that to kids.

Should kids have their own sovereign agent from the age of five that sticks with them?

Yes.

It's called the Young Lady's-

Great idea

...

Creative Primer.

Uh, read Neal Stephenson's book-

[laughs]

...

Diamond Age.

If you have not read Diamond Age yet, I highly recommend it.

It's a vision of what's to come.

All right, uh, Rod.

Hi, I, uh...

Peter, thank you.

I'm Rod McDonald from, uh, Coquitlam, British Columbia, and I retired a couple of years ago.

I was, uh, trained as a psychiatric social worker, but I went into management positions for other disability groups.

So my question or my query is, uh, is to ask all of you to speculate along for what AI can do for people with disabilities.

So for example, with, um, psych- uh, psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia, I did a ChatGPT se- uh, search on the medications currently being used, and there's some of them are the same as when I was starting over 30 years ago.

You know, they can be helpful, but they have a... they're still a rather blunt force when it comes to side effect profile.

So I'm really hoping A, um, AGI or what have you will assist with development of pharmaceuticals that are much more friendly t- to the physiology of people than two issues I've also... other areas I've worked in, like people with physical disabilities, what can they expect from AI? And then also a, a final group I, I used to work with is people with brain injuries.
