to Alana, Roland
Dear Alana and Roland, 

Thanks so much for your Stanford Law CodeX presentation yesterday! Here's the question I asked in the text chat: 
 
Great Alana, Have you thought about teaching a college course on "The Adventures of Women in Tech", and e.g. at Google-WUaS CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Women%27s_and_Gender_Studies (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects)
- and perhaps for women seeking careers in Tech (planned in 200 countries and in their main languages - and with parallel World Univ & Sch Law Schools in 200 countries and in their main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School
- and potentially partially as Large Language Models? Thanks, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

I've added your book to the https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Women%27s_and_Gender_Studies ' wiki school as a resource. 

I wonder if I might ask you Alana please how MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder, and planned in 200 countries as major online universities, offering free-to-students' online Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school or similar, AA / AS and Master's degrees in these countries ~200 languages, and wiki schools, on the other hand in all 7168 known living languages, and partly as large language models might collaborate further with Google, and possibly Google Pittsburgh PA, since WUaS has been in Google since around 2015.

Thanks, best regards, looking forward to learning further, 
Scott

AI is about to completely change how you use computers (and upend the software industry)

I still love software as much today as I did when Paul Allen and I started Microsoft. But—even though it has improved a lot in the decades since then—in many ways, software is still pretty dumb.

To do any task on a computer, you have to tell your device which app to use. You can use Microsoft Word and Google Docs to draft a business proposal, but they can’t help you send an email, share a selfie, analyze data, schedule a party, or buy movie tickets. And even the best sites have an incomplete understanding of your work, personal life, interests, and relationships and a limited ability to use this information to do things for you. That’s the kind of thing that is only possible today with another human being, like a close friend or personal assistant. 

In the next five years, this will change completely. You won’t have to use different apps for different tasks. You’ll simply tell your device, in everyday language, what you want to do. And depending on how much information you choose to share with it, the software will be able to respond personally because it will have a rich understanding of your life. In the near future, anyone who’s online will be able to have a personal assistant powered by artificial intelligence that’s far beyond today’s technology.

This type of software—something that responds to natural language and can accomplish many different tasks based on its knowledge of the user—is called an agent. I’ve been thinking about agents for nearly 30 years and wrote about them in my 1995 book The Road Ahead, but they’ve only recently become practical because of advances in AI.

Agents are not only going to change how everyone interacts with computers. They’re also going to upend the software industry, bringing about the biggest revolution in computing since we went from typing commands to tapping on icons.

A personal assistant for everyone

Some critics have pointed out that software companies have offered this kind of thing before, and users didn’t exactly embrace them. (People still joke about Clippy, the digital assistant that we included in Microsoft Office and later dropped.) Why will people use agents?

The answer is that they’ll be dramatically better. You’ll be able to have nuanced conversations with them. They will be much more personalized, and they won’t be limited to relatively simple tasks like writing a letter. Clippy has as much in common with agents as a rotary phone has with a mobile device. 

An agent will be able to help you with all your activities if you want it to. With permission to follow your online interactions and real-world locations, it will develop a powerful understanding of the people, places, and activities you engage in. It will get your personal and work relationships, hobbies, preferences, and schedule. You’ll choose how and when it steps in to help with something or ask you to make a decision.

"Clippy was a bot, not an agent."

To see the dramatic change that agents will bring, let’s compare them to the AI tools available today. Most of these are bots. They’re limited to one app and generally only step in when you write a particular word or ask for help. Because they don’t remember how you use them from one time to the next, they don’t get better or learn any of your preferences. Clippy was a bot, not an agent.

Agents are smarter. They’re proactive—capable of making suggestions before you ask for them. They accomplish tasks across applications. They improve over time because they remember your activities and recognize intent and patterns in your behavior. Based on this information, they offer to provide what they think you need, although you will always make the final decisions.

Imagine that you want to plan a trip. A travel bot will identify hotels that fit your budget. An agent will know what time of year you’ll be traveling and, based on its knowledge about whether you always try a new destination or like to return to the same place repeatedly, it will be able to suggest locations. When asked, it will recommend things to do based on your interests and propensity for adventure, and it will book reservations at the types of restaurants you would enjoy. If you want this kind of deeply personalized planning today, you need to pay a travel agent and spend time telling them what you want.

The most exciting impact of AI agents is the way they will democratize services that today are too expensive for most people. They’ll have an especially big influence in four areas: health care, education, productivity, and entertainment and shopping.

Health care

Today, AI’s main role in healthcare is to help with administrative tasks. Abridge, Nuance DAX, and Nabla Copilot, for example, can capture audio during an appointment and then write up notes for the doctor to review.

The real shift will come when agents can help patients do basic triage, get advice about how to deal with health problems, and decide whether they need to seek treatment. These agents will also help healthcare workers make decisions and be more productive. (Already, apps like Glass Health can analyze a patient summary and suggest diagnoses for the doctor to consider.) Helping patients and healthcare workers will be especially beneficial for people in poor countries, where many never get to see a doctor at all.

These clinician-agents will be slower than others to roll out because getting things right is a matter of life and death. People will need to see evidence that health agents are beneficial overall, even though they won’t be perfect and will make mistakes. Of course, humans make mistakes too, and having no access to medical care is also a problem.

"Half of all U.S. military veterans who need mental health care don’t get it."

Mental health care is another example of a service that agents will make available to virtually everyone. Today, weekly therapy sessions seem like a luxury. But there is a lot of unmet need, and many people who could benefit from therapy don’t have access to it. For example, RAND found that half of all U.S. military veterans who need mental health care don’t get it.

AI agents that are well trained in mental health will make therapy much more affordable and easier to get. Wysa and Youper are two of the early chatbots here. But agents will go much deeper. If you choose to share enough information with a mental health agent, it will understand your life history and your relationships. It’ll be available when you need it, and it will never get impatient. It could even, with your permission, monitor your physical responses to therapy through your smart watch—like if your heart starts to race when you’re talking about a problem with your boss—and suggest when you should see a human therapist.

Education

For decades, I’ve been excited about all the ways that software would make teachers’ jobs easier and help students learn. It won’t replace teachers, but it will supplement their work—personalizing the work for students and liberating teachers from paperwork and other tasks so they can spend more time on the most important parts of the job. These changes are finally starting to happen in a dramatic way.

The current state of the art is Khanmigo, a text-based bot created by Khan Academy. It can tutor students in math, science, and the humanities—for example, it can explain the quadratic formula and create math problems to practice on. It can also help teachers do things like write lesson plans. I’ve been a fan and supporter of Sal Khan’s work for a long time and recently had him on my podcast to talk about education and AI.

But text-based bots are just the first wave—agents will open up many more learning opportunities.

For example, few families can pay for a tutor who works one-on-one with a student to supplement their classroom work. If agents can capture what makes a tutor effective, they’ll unlock this supplemental instruction for everyone who wants it. If a tutoring agent knows that a kid likes Minecraft and Taylor Swift, it will use Minecraft to teach them about calculating the volume and area of shapes, and Taylor’s lyrics to teach them about storytelling and rhyme schemes. The experience will be far richer—with graphics and sound, for example—and more personalized than today’s text-based tutors.

Productivity

There’s already a lot of competition in this field. Microsoft is making its Copilot part of Word, Excel, Outlook, and other services. Google is doing similar things with Assistant with Bard and its productivity tools. These copilots can do a lot—such as turn a written document into a slide deck, answer questions about a spreadsheet using natural language, and summarize email threads while representing each person’s point of view.

Agents will do even more. Having one will be like having a person dedicated to helping you with various tasks and doing them independently if you want. If you have an idea for a business, an agent will help you write up a business plan, create a presentation for it, and even generate images of what your product might look like. Companies will be able to make agents available for their employees to consult directly and be part of every meeting so they can answer questions.

"If your friend just had surgery, your agent will offer to send flowers and be able to order them for you."

Whether you work in an office or not, your agent will be able to help you in the same way that personal assistants support executives today. If your friend just had surgery, your agent will offer to send flowers and be able to order them for you. If you tell it you’d like to catch up with your old college roommate, it will work with their agent to find a time to get together, and just before you arrive, it will remind you that their oldest child just started college at the local university.

Entertainment and shopping

Already, AI can help you pick out a new TV and recommend movies, books, shows, and podcasts. Likewise, a company I’ve invested in, recently launched Pix, which lets you ask questions (“Which Robert Redford movies would I like and where can I watch them?”) and then makes recommendations based on what you’ve liked in the past. Spotify has an AI-powered DJ that not only plays songs based on your preferences but talks to you and can even call you by name.

Agents won’t simply make recommendations; they’ll help you act on them. If you want to buy a camera, you’ll have your agent read all the reviews for you, summarize them, make a recommendation, and place an order for it once you’ve made a decision. If you tell your agent that you want to watch Star Wars, it will know whether you’re subscribed to the right streaming service, and if you aren’t, it will offer to sign you up. And if you don’t know what you’re in the mood for, it will make customized suggestions and then figure out how to play the movie or show you choose.

You’ll also be able to get news and entertainment that’s been tailored to your interests. CurioAI, which creates a custom podcast on any subject you ask about, is a glimpse of what’s coming.

A shock wave in the tech industry

In short, agents will be able to help with virtually any activity and any area of life. The ramifications for the software business and for society will be profound.

In the computing industry, we talk about platforms—the technologies that apps and services are built on. Android, iOS, and Windows are all platforms. Agents will be the next platform.

"To create a new app or service, you'll just tell your agent what you want."

To create a new app or service, you won’t need to know how to write code or do graphic design. You’ll just tell your agent what you want. It will be able to write the code, design the look and feel of the app, create a logo, and publish the app to an online store. OpenAI’s launch of GPTs this week offers a glimpse into the future where non-developers can easily create and share their own assistants.

Agents will affect how we use software as well as how it’s written. They’ll replace search sites because they’ll be better at finding information and summarizing it for you. They’ll replace many e-commerce sites because they’ll find the best price for you and won’t be restricted to just a few vendors. They’ll replace word processors, spreadsheets, and other productivity apps. Businesses that are separate today—search advertising, social networking with advertising, shopping, productivity software—will become one business.

I don’t think any single company will dominate the agents business--there will be many different AI engines available. Today, agents are embedded in other software like word processors and spreadsheets, but eventually they’ll operate on their own. Although some agents will be free to use (and supported by ads), I think you’ll pay for most of them, which means companies will have an incentive to make agents work on your behalf and not an advertiser’s. If the number of companies that have started working on AI just this year is any indication, there will be an exceptional amount of competition, which will make agents very inexpensive.

But before the sophisticated agents I’m describing become a reality, we need to confront a number of questions about the technology and how we’ll use it. I’ve written before about the issues that AI raises, so I’ll focus specifically on agents here.

The technical challenges

Nobody has figured out yet what the data structure for an agent will look like. To create personal agents, we need a new type of database that can capture all the nuances of your interests and relationships and quickly recall the information while maintaining your privacy. We are already seeing new ways of storing information, such as vector databases, that may be better for storing data generated by machine learning models.

Another open question is about how many agents people will interact with. Will your personal agent be separate from your therapist agent and your math tutor? If so, when will you want them to work with each other and when should they stay in their lanes?

“If your agent needs to check in with you, it will speak to you or show up on your phone.”

How will you interact with your agent? Companies are exploring various options including apps, glasses, pendants, pins, and even holograms. All of these are possibilities, but I think the first big breakthrough in human-agent interaction will be earbuds. If your agent needs to check in with you, it will speak to you or show up on your phone. (“Your flight is delayed. Do you want to wait, or can I help rebook it?”) If you want, it will monitor sound coming into your ear and enhance it by blocking out background noise, amplifying speech that’s hard to hear, or making it easier to understand someone who’s speaking with a heavy accent.

There are other challenges too. There isn’t yet a standard protocol that will allow agents to talk to each other. The cost needs to come down so agents are affordable for everyone. It needs to be easier to prompt the agent in a way that will give you the right answer. We need to prevent hallucinations, especially in areas like health where accuracy is super-important, and make sure that agents don’t harm people as a result of their biases. And we don’t want agents to be able to do things they’re not supposed to. (Although I worry less about rogue agents than about human criminals using agents for malign purposes.)

Privacy and other big questions

As all of this comes together, the issues of online privacy and security will become even more urgent than they already are. You’ll want to be able to decide what information the agent has access to, so you’re confident that your data is shared with only people and companies you choose.

But who owns the data you share with your agent, and how do you ensure that it’s being used appropriately? No one wants to start getting ads related to something they told their therapist agent. Can law enforcement use your agent as evidence against you? When will your agent refuse to do something that could be harmful to you or someone else? Who picks the values that are built into agents?

There’s also the question of how much information your agent should share. Suppose you want to see a friend: If your agent talks to theirs, you don’t want it to say, "Oh, she’s seeing other friends on Tuesday and doesn’t want to include you.” And if your agent helps you write emails for work, it will need to know that it shouldn’t use personal information about you or proprietary data from a previous job.

Many of these questions are already top-of-mind for the tech industry and legislators. I recently participated in a forum on AI with other technology leaders that was organized by Sen. Chuck Schumer and attended by many U.S. senators. We shared ideas about these and other issues and talked about the need for lawmakers to adopt strong legislation.

But other issues won’t be decided by companies and governments. For example, agents could affect how we interact with friends and family. Today, you can show someone that you care about them by remembering details about their life—say, their birthday. But when they know your agent likely reminded you about it and took care of sending flowers, will it be as meaningful for them?

In the distant future, agents may even force humans to face profound questions about purpose. Imagine that agents become so good that everyone can have a high quality of life without working nearly as much. In a future like that, what would people do with their time? Would anyone still want to get an education when an agent has all the answers? Can you have a safe and thriving society when most people have a lot of free time on their hands?

But we’re a long way from that point. In the meantime, agents are coming. In the next few years, they will utterly change how we live our lives, online and off.

Purple sunbird: Stanford Mine Pi - WUaS Corporation Partnership Proposal * (Stanford Mine Pi - "slight of coding"?)

 

Stanford Mine Pi - WUaS Corporation Partnership Proposal * (Stanford Mine Pi - "slight of coding"?) 

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2023/03/stanford-mine-pi-wuas-corporation.html

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/03/purple-sunbird-stanford-mine-pi-wuas.html



Dear Chengdiao Fan, Nicolas Kokkalis (please forward), Peter Norvig, Neha Narula, John Hennessy, Lydia Pintscher, All,

Greetings. How are you? I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to inquire about the WUaS Corporation partnering with Stanford Mine Pi, and potentially in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN #, and to facilitate a single worldwide main cryptocurrency. 

I just sent a Partnership Proposal via the pinetwork.atlassian.net page, and received this confirmation - 

"Thanks!
Your reference is PINETWORK-778183. Check sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org for a confirmation and updates."

I've also attached a related PDF I added below. 

While I thought about reaching out to Mine Pi's co-founders Chengdiao Fan, and Nicolas Kokkalis, and as Stanford PhD coders of Stanford Mine Pi - https://stanforddaily.com/2019/09/16/stanford-grads-develop-cryptocurrency-for-smartphone-users-to-increase-its-accessibility/ - I'm continuing to wonder how to report the loss of about 900 Pi coins on Sunday February 26, 2023 to the Pi Network's organization. I just looked up the Pinetwork.atlassian.net web page for the "scam" link, but it didn't really seem to offer categories to report this possible 900 Pi coins' decline in my Mine Pi coins' cryptocurrency accumulation (minpi.com/sgkmac).

So, on behalf of the WUaS Corporation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - I decided to fill in the 'Partnership/Vendor Proposals' ' link on this page - https://pinetwork.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/group/3/create/25 - and here's a draft of the form on the web, and for your reading: 


Click on a category below to send us an email
Partnership/Vendor Proposals 

Please use this form if you wish to offer your service or collaborate with Pi Network. If you are a developer looking to develop an app on the Pi ecosystem, please submit your request on our Developers/Pi Apps Platform form.

Summary* 

Stanford Mine Pi - WUaS Corporation Partnership Proposal


Do you represent an organization?

Yes


Provide your organization’s name here:

WUaS Corporation 


Provide your organization’s web page here:

and





Do you have any suggestions for improving the clarity and structure of the roadmap?

Looks great, - yet with the WUaS Corporation / MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School having received a partnering email from the Pi Network organization in March of 2023 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/03/purple-sunbird-stanford-mine-pi-wuas.html and https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2023/03/stanford-mine-pi-wuas-corporation.html - how about including the "partnering" or "partnership' word, searchable on in this roadmap?



What other specific historical information would you have liked to see? Please specify which part of the Roadmap you are commenting on.

As you may or may not know, and in the WUaS Corporation / MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School partnering with the Pi Network, WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, in all ~200 countries, and in their main languages, from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to end poverty by seeking to distribute a single main cryptocurrency, Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency, via something like UBI experiments.




What additional information would you like to see in the 'In Progress' section? Please specify which part of the Roadmap you are commenting on.

How could the Pi Network organization extend this to all 200 countries' main languages, or to speakers even of all 7, 168 known living languages - "Released translation mechanism to enable Pi Chat Moderator community to help translate the UI text in the Pi Mining app in 50 languages; later extended to Pi KYC and Fireside Forum apps" ?



What specific elements would you like to see elaborated in Version 2 concerning upcoming features, requirements, upgrades, and initiatives needed before entering the Open Network period?

(Possibly something about - a video? - how and when some Pioneers will actually be able to buy or sell something with Pi on the MainNet blockchain when this eventually happens? ... eg an example, or an instance?)





Do you have any specific suggestions on how we can better present the comprehensive plans for Pi Network's Enclosed Network period leading into the Open Network period?

Looks really great




Any other comments or suggestions?

How best, please, besides such forms, and on Twitter - https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1723041658046996834 - for the WUaS Corporation / MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch to communicate with the Pi Network further, and in the WUaS Corporation, for example, seeking to list on the emerging Silicon Valley Longterm Stock Market ... and potentially with Stanford Mine Pi for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, and in all 200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages?

Agenda item B

WUaS Home Robotics & the WUaS Educational Services' Stores for Robotics, Books, Computers, Hospital Technologies ... and a possible initial purchaser of WUaS Lego Robotics' Kits ... and even regarding a WUaS business plan for Middle States Commission on Higher Education with offices in the greater Philadelphia area - 


Lycoming county public libraries + 7 counties' public libraries in this district, north central Pennsylvania and WUaS Lego Robotics? 


James V Brown library in Lycoming County, north central Pennsylvania - to get WUaS Lego Robotics from the WUaS Educational Services Stores for Robotics - as WUaS develops a business plan for World Univ & Sch accreditation and licensure with Middle States Commission for Higher Education and the state of Pennsylvania's department of education, from which WUaS already has the green light from both? 


Dear Executive Director Amy Resh, Programming and Youth Services' Director Nicole Rader, and Muncy Public Library Director Corey Breneisen, 

Greetings from the Union county Lewisburg public library, as well as Lycoming county in north central Pennsylvania! I hope this email finds you well. 

Very nice to see you, Corey Breneisen, again and to talk briefly recently again at the Muncy JV Brown public library, and looking forward to the future and possibly regarding event 7 counties' libraries getting Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits from the emerging WUaS Educational Services Stores for books, computers, robotics, hospital technologies and so much more. 

Best wishes, thanks, see you soon, 
Scott

Lego Robotics in Maker Spaces at Bucknell University & collaborations with MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch as well?

Dear Interim Provost Margot Vigeant, President John Bravman, (John Hennessy, former President of Stanford for 16 years, and now Chair of Alphabet), all, 

Thanks very much for your email Professor Margot Vigeant recently - 

"I am not interested in a purchase or collaboration at this time, thank you. 
Margot Vigeant, interim provost"

***************************************************
Dr. Margot Vigeant, 
Interim Provost,  Professor of Chemical Engineering
Bucknell University
Lewisburg, PA 17837
mvigeant@bucknell.edu
Provost Office Hours:  Wednesdays  4:00-5:00 & Thursdays 3:30-5:00


MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is seeking to hire and employ about 2.5 million people over the next 50-75 years, and WUaS would be open to further communication with Bucknell University in the future, as WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet in all 200 countries and in their main languages each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - wtih many potential benefits for Bucknell too. And Bucknell students could benefit in innumerable ways. 

Regarding Lego Robotics on college campuses, I was glad to meet at Bucknell 2 Fridays ago in a Bucknell chess gathering, "Chess and Chill", Farhaj, Ahmad, and Abdullah above (#Hashtags on Twitter: #FarhajShahid #AhmadRehman #AbdullahNabi) from Pakistan and all native speakers of the Urdu language (a lingua franca there), all Bucknell STEAM (science, technology, engineering, ARTS, and mathematics') students too  ... and Farhaj is a very good chess player ... and we talked at length about MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch ... and also about Lego Robotics and the possibly introducing PLAYFUL LEGO ROBOTICS to Bucknell Univ in collaboration with these chess people ... and for Bucknellians learning FREE computer coding, and computer science, via the drag and drop visual MIT Media Lab and Harvard GSHE's new Scratch programming language, which is interoperable with Lego Robotics ... as well as them becoming heads of Pakistan World Univ & Sch eventually ... and even beginning Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' Stores (eg for retail, and and with WUaS planning to grow to larger than WM's ~2.3 million employees in about ~25 countries in the next decades) in Pakistan in Urdu and possibly introducing Bucknell Lego Robotics' to Pakistanis in Urdu leading into free university degrees in Urdu too there with students studying from home (and see the PS below regarding Arizona State University and Lego Mindstorms' robotics).

While Farhaj, Ahmad, and Abdullah above, as Bucknell students, seem very interested in collaborating with World Univ & Sch - and for example Farhaj asked about internship possibilities with WUaS (and yes WUaS is seeking to hire native speakers in all 200 countries' main languages as soon as possible), and Ahmad suggested some ways to grow online University and high school education in Pakistan with increasing internet access there (where Pakistan, in older terms, is still a 3rd World country, and quite poor, - so a "developing country" and developing market too especially, in today's terms) 

So, all the best, Margot (and I'm sorry you're not interested in collaborating regarding (either) the MIT OCW-centric wiki Chemical Engineering wiki School or Subject https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Chemical_Engineering ... and check out the iterating MIT OCW courses there eventually for credit on a Google-WUaS platform, and planned in Urdu too ... and in a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForChemistry in innovative ways), but I hope your interim provost-ship goes well in your remaining time in this lead academic role at Bucknell University. Thank you again for your email response.

Best wishes, abolish the wrongful buying selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence etc industries and their latent networks of violence, abolitionally, thanks, Friendly Quaker greetings, Scott


PS

What are examples of Lego robotics kits in college settings?

Best suited for high school and college students, the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set allows an interactive experience for students with intermediate to advanced coding abilities.
