Class Overview
Turning Your Unconscious Ideas Into Paradigm-Shifting Frameworks
What if the ideas you're already having unconsciously could become the foundation for entirely new paradigms? In Class 3 of Human Superintelligence, we explored how to transform the subtle patterns in your thinking into powerful, shareable frameworks using AI as your creative partner.
In this class, we built on the Possibility Prompting paradigm, and used it as a "microscope for the mind" to reveal possibilities that exist but haven't been tapped into yet. We dove deep into my process for developing "possibility prompting" as a new paradigm, showing you exactly how to take your own emerging ideas and build them into something that could reshape entire fields.
If you've ever felt like you're doing something unique but couldn't quite put words to it, or if you want to learn how to systematically develop breakthrough ideas using AI, this session will change how you think.
The Significance of Paradigmatic Thinking
The ideas we explored in this class represent a fundamental shift in how we can collaborate with AI. Rather than using it as a simple productivity tool, we're learning to use AI as a partner in paradigm creation – the highest leverage point for systemic change.
When you can transform unconscious patterns into named, shareable frameworks, you're not just creating content. You're building the conceptual infrastructure that others can use to think new thoughts and solve previously unsolvable problems.
The participants in this session demonstrated remarkable insights, from transformative fiction methodologies to multidimensional idea mapping systems. Each person discovered that their unique approaches – the things they were already doing but hadn't articulated – contained the seeds of entirely new paradigms.
This represents the future of human-AI collaboration: not just replacement, but amplification of our most distinctly human capabilities – pattern recognition, paradigmatic thinking, and the creation of meaning-making frameworks that expand what's possible for entire communities.
During the class, we also covered:
Explored synthetic data creation from your own insights
Mapped the "consolidated gains" model for idea development
Practiced externalizing unconscious patterns into named frameworks
Applied paradigmatic autocomplete to expand conceptual territories
Discovered complexity science perspectives on possibility prompting
Used multi-perspective analysis to reveal hidden idea dimensions
Examined leverage points for systematic transformation
Created feedback loops between human intuition and AI
Developed taxonomies of questions for deeper exploration
Introduced NotebookLM for collaborative knowledge synthesis

Introduction and Welcome (00:00:00 - 00:01:18)
Michael Simmons opens Class 3 of Cuban Superintelligence with a sound check and welcome. He introduces the concept of possibility prompting as a method for using AI to explore and map unknown territories of potential, describing it as building a "microscope for the mind" that goes beyond conventional wisdom to discover untapped possibilities.
Possibility Prompting Overview (00:01:18 - 00:04:51)
Michael explains his meta-approach to teaching, sharing not just the concept of possibility prompting but the actual process he used to create it. He introduces the key concept of using created content as "synthetic data" - transforming ideas from being shared only with humans or future selves into data that can be fed back into AI systems for further development and expansion.
First Exercise: Ideas as Synthetic Data (00:04:51 - 00:11:36)
Students engage in a 3-4 minute voice recording exercise to reflect on what ideas they currently have that could serve as "bricks" for building larger idea structures with AI. Michael explains the metaphor of ideas as building blocks that can be combined into towers. Class participants share insights from their reflections, with Una discussing her impact-driven growth model and Kevin mentioning his work in AI product development.
Michael Glenn's AI Journaling System Discussion (00:11:36 - 00:12:39)
Michael Glenn shares his innovative AI-assisted journaling system that not only provides feedback on journal entries but can predict future behavior patterns and warn users when they might be falling into negative cycles. This example demonstrates how a simple idea can expand into a comprehensive business concept through AI collaboration, illustrating the power of possibility prompting in action.
Consolidated Gains Model Explanation (00:12:39 - 00:19:37)
Michael introduces the Consolidated Gains model from the book "Little Bets," explaining how ideas develop through progressive filtering processes. He describes how starting with many ideas and systematically narrowing them down through different levels (intuition, writing, articles) prevents both the "Hail Mary" approach of betting everything on one idea and the scattered approach of never developing any ideas fully. He shares how he applied this model to develop possibility prompting itself.
Second Exercise: Unconscious Patterns Reflection (00:19:37 - 00:23:49)
Students participate in another voice recording exercise to identify things they're doing unconsciously that produce interesting results but haven't been named or formalized yet. This exercise aims to help participants recognize their unique approaches and methodologies that could be developed into more formal frameworks or systems.
Bonnie's Transformative Fiction Discovery (00:23:49 - 00:30:16)
Bonnie shares her breakthrough insight about "transformative fiction" - writing that incorporates elements from hypnosis, initiation rituals, and psychedelic therapy to create profound change in readers. She describes how the Consolidated Gains model could help her test transformative elements through microfiction before incorporating them into larger works. This exemplifies how the exercises help externalize and develop unconscious creative processes.
AI as Paradigmatic Autocomplete (00:30:16 - 00:36:05)
Michael introduces the concept of using AI as "paradigmatic autocomplete," explaining how AI can expand initial ideas into comprehensive frameworks. He references Donella Meadows' systems thinking and leverage points, explaining why he focuses on paradigmatic rather than tactical approaches. He shares how once an idea is externalized, it provides enough material for AI to significantly expand and develop it further.
Multiple Perspectives Analysis (00:36:05 - 00:51:19)
Michael demonstrates a powerful prompt technique using the "blind men and elephant" metaphor, showing how looking at ideas from multiple perspectives, levels, dimensions, and frameworks can generate insights. He shares examples from his AI analysis of possibility prompting through complexity science and systems thinking lenses, highlighting how different perspectives can reveal new aspects and applications of core concepts.
Expanding Ideas Exercise (00:51:19 - 01:04:19)
Students work with AI to apply the multiple perspectives prompt to their own ideas, using either the 15-perspective approach or the paradigm-building framework. Michael shares additional prompting strategies and discusses how to handle Claude's technical limitations. Participants experiment with expanding their concepts through AI collaboration.
Class Feedback and Discussion (01:04:19 - 01:19:14)
Students share their experiences with the exercises, discussing challenges like ideas evolving too rapidly to capture and the validating effect of AI engagement. Faith describes the challenge of ideas being superseded before they can be written down. The class explores concepts like "pre-confirmation bias" and discusses Sarika's innovative idea for mapping multidimensional ideological spaces in news analysis, demonstrating how the session generates new terminology and frameworks.
Notebook LM Introduction (01:19:14 - 01:28:57)
Michael introduces NotebookLM as a tool for creating AI assistants trained on specific collections of sources. He demonstrates a notebook he created with 50+ books on intelligence and shows how possibility prompting can be used to generate sophisticated questions for exploring human superintelligence. The session concludes with students experimenting with the tool and discussing future applications, including Dani's insight about using it for expanded memory systems.

00:01:25 Janet Ridsdale: Morning Everyone,Happy Friday
00:03:48 Michael Glenn: Is there class today?
00:05:13 Bonnie J.: yes
00:05:18 Leandra: yup
00:06:53 Michael Glenn: I used the possibility promp last week to create a LI post about veteran's mental health and it got the most engagement I've ever seen and it drew so many veterans and mental health professionals into the discussion I couldn't believe it! It was wild.
00:09:01 Michael Glenn: AI assisted journaling. I'm developing the idea right now (with help from AI lol)
00:09:20 faythebuchanan: Can you clarify ‘idea towers?'
00:09:45 faythebuchanan: Thanks.
00:12:49 Ramon: Is sound muted?
00:12:52 Michael Simmons: yes
00:12:56 Michael Glenn: Claude just said my AI journaling idea is creating a feedback loop between reflection, analysis, and behavioral change! And now I know how to build it, package it, and market it! (And how to measure it's success.)
00:12:57 Michael Simmons: People are doing a 3 minute exercise
00:13:07 Ramon: Okay 🙂
00:13:14 Mila: Oh okay what is the 3 min exercise?
00:13:20 Mila: This question slide?
00:14:10 Michael Glenn: PLus so many details on how to expand the idea... 10 minutes into class and my brain is already on overload
00:15:07 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I have my own model - the Impact-Driven Growth model that has 3 key areas and each area has 3 sub-areas so they naturally form pillars
00:15:14 Kevin Whitcher: Very practical and work oriented - bricks are the subject areas I work in - to develop product with AI
00:15:30 Mila: I joined late. What was the exercise again?
00:15:43 Mila: Thank you
00:15:45 Bonnie J.: I started with one topic and ended up making a connected that I wasn’t really seeing before. Again, I need to do a lot more braindumping in ways that I can capture to feed into the AI.
00:15:58 Martelli: Outside of this topic, how do I add for space for chatGPT?
00:16:11 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I can use these areas for content and also to improve what I do with clients, create digital assets and prompts, some custom GPTs etc.
00:16:42 Stas: Wow, nice!
00:16:55 Kevin Whitcher: Never tried it, but assume AI can ‘read’ imported audio files?
00:17:16 Kevin Whitcher: As in the standard ChatGPT / Claude
00:17:42 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Replying to "As in the standard C..."
I think you need to add transcripts of audio
00:17:59 Michael Simmons: Little Bets
00:18:35 Kevin Whitcher: Replying to "As in the standard C..."
I suspected as much!
00:18:36 Don S: Little Bets is indeed a stimulating book.
00:19:10 faythebuchanan: I keep thinking AI is so responsive to these sequences, won’t everyone soon be going through this process and we won’t stand out?
00:19:12 Dani Trusca: A Memento Engine for remembering things we know but forget.
Experience Design
Fractal Messaging
Brieflings - an atomic unit of meaning transmission
I have so many idea.
00:19:26 Marcin Podolski: My 7 Mind System—an advanced framework where human intelligence and AI work in synergy to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
1. The Human Mind – The Core of Conscious Intelligence
This is the foundation of all cognition. The Human Mind thrives on mental models, intuition, contextual thinking, and creativity. It is the source of conscious awareness, the architect of innovation, and the ultimate driver of decision-making. But what if we could augment it?
2. The Productivity Mind – The Engine of Efficiency
Imagine AI automating your workflows, managing your second brain, and optimizing every process in real-time. This mind doesn’t just help you work faster—it redefines how you work, eliminating inefficiencies and allowing you to focus on high-impact creativity and strategy.
00:19:44 Marcin Podolski: 3. The Synthesizing Mind – The Ultimate Cognitive Enhancer
This is AI-augmented synthesis at its peak—where human intelligence and AI co-create knowledge, evolve new patterns, and unlock holistic insights that were previously unattainable. This mind expands your cognitive bandwidth, allowing for deep interdisciplinary thinking and breakthrough-level problem-solving.
4. The Investigative Mind – The Power of AI-Driven Discovery
What if AI could conduct research at superhuman speed? This mind leverages AI-powered open-source intelligence, automated information gathering, advanced data analysis, and visualization—providing you with unparalleled clarity, insights, and strategic foresight.
00:19:59 Marcin Podolski: 5. The Creative/Making Mind – The Birthplace of Innovation
Creativity redefined: AI-enhanced content creation, AI-driven storytelling, filmmaking, web & app development, and automated creative workflows. This mind amplifies your creative output, allowing ideas to materialize faster, more efficiently, and at an unprecedented level of quality.
6. The Connecting Mind – The AI-Augmented Social Genius
This is not just about communication—it’s about understanding human nature at the deepest level. Imagine an AI-enhanced Theory of Mind, where you can dive into the minds of others, decode behavior, and connect across cultures and generations. AI becomes a human hacker, helping us bridge gaps, understand needs, and enhance relationships through AI-powered behavioral profiling and social intelligence systems.
00:20:15 Marcin Podolski: 7. The Developmental Mind – The Path to Augmented Awakening
What if AI could accelerate your personal and cognitive evolution? This mind is dedicated to ego development, mental expansion, and self-actualization. AI becomes your mentor, guide, and catalyst, helping you unlock new levels of awareness, wisdom, and potential.
00:20:25 Michael Glenn: Replying to "I keep thinking AI..."
I think AI will always need a human to give it the idea, and your unique perspective means your ideas will always be different from everyone else. So I think the people with the ideas that resonate the most will still continue to succeed in business no matter what. I could be wrong but I really hope I'm right hahaha
00:22:41 Dani Trusca: Replying to "I keep thinking AI i..."
As I see it, the key is focusing on your onlyness, that which you and only you can do.
00:22:53 Anna Gibson: No me using Michaels Blockbuster model and getting the most views I've ever gotten EVER and three shares in a few days. I'm used to getting 35-40 views. I don't have a problem with that cause it's a slow grind but sheeesh. Thanks for Eeverything michael
00:23:15 Michael Glenn: It seems like consolidated gains is just about tying everything together into one cohesive business model, yeah?
00:23:48 Kevin Whitcher: Niches are niches - they go very deep and specific - there’s plenty of room
00:24:12 Bonnie J.: Like moving from the smallest minimum viable product and developing it at each stage into the full product.
00:25:47 Michael Simmons: Replying to "No me using Michaels..."
Congrats Anna! That’s an A+ hook!
00:26:57 Michael Glenn: My unique contritbution to the world is healing through narrative self-awarness. (i.e. writing to understand and heal oneself)
To test the idea, GPT suggests I run a small, 5-10 person cohort through my journaling system and track their results
00:28:18 Michael Simmons: Replying to "I keep thinking AI i..."
@Dani Trusca Love this.
00:28:20 Michael Glenn: Replying to "No me using Michae..."
That's awesome Anna! Congratulations
00:28:28 Anna Gibson: Replying to "No me using Michaels..."
Thank you!
00:29:09 André Forget: My unique contribution is in training and coaching managers in talent development
00:31:09 Kevin Whitcher: Using AI I can take my work forward in ways that I hadn’t previously considered in terms of designing ‘programs’ on a very bespoke level for clients to address their very specific issues in a way I would find time challenging without the use of AI. It means I can support more people.
00:31:14 Janet Ridsdale: Asked GPT -it said I prompt people to feel safe enough to imagine a future they once feared.I walk alongside them
00:31:23 Michael Glenn: Replying to "Using AI I can tak..."
Yes!!!!
00:31:35 Rachel Bagby: Brilliant Bonnie!!👏🏾
00:31:57 Michael Glenn: Replying to "Asked GPT -it said..."
That's so beautiful
00:32:16 faythebuchanan: @Bonnie: I have been thinking of how to apply this with children who have issues that they might see a transformation through a story.
00:32:57 sarika: Thats awesome, transformative fiction
00:34:21 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I also asked chatGPT but it gave me an exercise to surface it vs telling me. Not sure if because in a new project I set up?
00:34:29 Michael Glenn: I think it's worth remembering too, that most of the population is still not even using AI yet. And most of the people who are using it are NOT even thinking about using it in the ways we're exploring here! So we're at the forefront of all this. The majority of the population still has no idea AI can even do these kind of things... let alone how to apply it in their own lives.
The things we're building and learing ARE extremely helpful to the people who want to learn more about AI and don't know where to begin.
00:34:42 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Bonnie I definitely have spotted patterns in me that I could see in a character
00:35:03 Marcin Podolski: My uniqueness is my knowledge stacking and synthesis (e.g. Neuro-Cognitive Intelligence, Behaviour Profiling, AI, Vertical Development Coaching, Lie Detection, Mental Trainer, Investigative Interview techniques etc.) I want to share with the world and develop human consciousness. Elevate humanity with AI
00:35:44 Bonnie J.: Replying to "Bonnie I definitely ..."
I would love to talk with you about that sometime, Una, if you’ve be open to a conversation?
00:36:12 Mila: \
00:36:32 Bonnie J.: Replying to "@Bonnie: I have bee..."
I’d love to get together and talk with you about your experiences with children being transformed through story, if you’d be up for a conversation, Faythe?
00:36:33 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Replying to "Bonnie I definitely ..."
Sure :-)
00:36:33 faythebuchanan: I also get people to see unique family members as characters in sitcoms, so they don’t take the behaviour personally? I can see creating the fiction stories that do that for them, i.e. write stories about characters that behave like family members. Just beginning to think about this.
00:36:48 Anna Gibson: I gotta blast guys <3 I'll catch the replay!
00:36:50 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Replying to "Bonnie I definitely ..."

That would be amazing, I will send you an email! Mine is bonnielala@gmail.com
00:39:28 Bonnie J.: Replying to "Bonnie I definitely ..."
I did, and just sent you a note! 🙂
00:39:58 Michael Simmons: Attached is a course I'm teaching on human superintelligence where I introduce possibility prompting as a paradigm of prompting. I want to expand upon and develop the idea of possibility prompting into a whole paradigm. To begin doing this, can you help me look at possibility prompting from multiple perspectives, levels, dimensions, frameworks, meta levels, etc. Each perspective should be a separate artifact. Share 15 perspectives and then output a final artifact where you share all of the ideas that could improve or extend the idea of possibility prompting. For context, my goal is to help introduce possibility prompting so it becomes so useful and attractive that it becomes a new paradigm in prompting that exists with all of the other approaches. Any questions before you begin?
00:40:42 faythebuchanan: Can you define ‘synthetic data?’
00:42:12 Rachel Bagby: oh Wow, small world Michael!
00:44:30 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Emergence architect
00:44:36 Kevin Whitcher: The Strange Attractor
00:44:38 Bonnie J.: The strange attractor prompt sounds intriguing
00:44:42 Timothy Finn: Strange Attractor Mapper
00:44:52 Kevin Whitcher: Like the idea of magnetism!
00:44:53 Marcin Podolski: Replying to "Emergence architect"
LOVE IT
00:45:08 faythebuchanan: ‘the edge of chaos’
00:45:51 sarika: “Controlled instability, dormant evolutionary potentials
00:45:52 Ben Chan: The opposing words order, randomness, structured chaos
00:46:06 Ben Chan: Controlled instability
00:46:20 Marcin Podolski: Replying to "Emergence architect"
One of my favourite words 🤣
00:48:03 Marcin Podolski: Hidden Atractor Field Mapping Framework
00:48:15 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Replying to "Emergence architect"
Which one Marcin?
00:48:21 Bonnie J.: Would you mind sharing the Claude chat?
00:48:44 Mila: What about asking AI’s output - what assumptions, biases, and blindspots it’s not recognising from its analysis
00:48:54 Marcin Podolski: Replying to "Emergence architect"
Emergence
00:49:07 Michael Glenn: Replying to "What about asking ..."
That's next level
00:49:16 Mila: It’ll be more holistic as analysis and also gives many other perspectives that it is not in its current data sets and algorithms
00:49:45 Bonnie J.: I love “feedback loop reverser
00:50:11 faythebuchanan: So this is perhaps a purposeful process of disruption?
00:50:32 Mila: From a complex system lens, depends on context
00:51:10 Michael Simmons: https://blockbuster.thoughtleader.school/t/infinite-prompting-5-lesson-course
00:51:26 Janet Ridsdale: Couls you please share this link?
00:51:30 Mila: Ok great Michael. Asking intentionally other perspectives. I would challenge it even more and go beyond the 15 ..
00:51:45 Mila: Including non-western views
00:52:14 Marcin Podolski: Unprecedented algorithm seeking engine
00:52:19 Mila: Understand Michael .. thank you for clarification
00:53:30 Michael Simmons: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/6ef05663-5be8-4601-badc-302f0ba0ccb1
00:55:48 Michael Simmons: Replying to "Including non-wester..."
Agree. If I were to do the prompt again, I would add a sentence like…
Choose perspectives that maximize for multiple types and levels of diversity in order to create a wisdom of crowds effect.
00:56:48 Michael Simmons: Replying to "So this is perhaps a..."
Yes. There should be a word for this.. .purposeful disruption.
00:57:13 Kevin Whitcher: This is an example of where I suggested you prepare us pre-class (24 hours) for the stuff we will need to upload Michael. So you are uploading a course you are teaching. It will take me 4 minutes to dig something out because I don’t work the same way you do in my field.
00:58:34 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I’ve just used the prompt with no upload…
00:59:30 Michael Glenn: What I'm discovering is that prompts like this generate output that sparks an idea in me... but overall the output is too "AI'... it's bland, generic, boring.
So it gives me the new ideas but then, I'm gonna still need to sit down and work out the idea myself. But I'm okay with that, becuase without AI, I wouldn't even have the idea to begin with
01:01:13 Michael Glenn: Also.... it's way too easy for me to get overwhelmed and want to understand and explore ALL the possibilities on my own and get completely lost in the weeds 😆
01:01:54 Mila: Perhaps provide an intentional set of criteria to yourself, a form of container/ boundaries before starting.
01:01:57 Michael Simmons: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XMe2u7Zi0lBt_ZOImSr6vKe7U_WniZM8tQ0HhxSe3yA/edit?tab=t.ohu58rgkaxdk
01:02:40 Michael Glenn: I asked for non-Western civilization perspectives and it's blowing my mind

That's a great idea
01:04:19 faythebuchanan: I have lost the initial prompt we are using. Only have part of it.

01:07:26 Don S: Claude is still working on the first prompt, developing exhaustive artifacts for multiple perspectives.
01:08:12 Don S: Correct. Thanks
01:08:28 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I don’t have time to absorb it yet
01:08:37 faythebuchanan: I am learning so much starting from my own ideas, I wonder how I could every write anything as it would be superseded in the next exploration!
01:08:39 Bonnie J.: Both prompts are still generating content for me
01:08:53 Janet Ridsdale: I have to go through all the responsses
01:09:15 Bonnie J.: Super interesting. Also Claude is laying out how I could do corporate coaching once the system is working. 🙂
01:09:30 Ben Chan: So, I put in Expansion Contraction Thinking which I think helps with that
01:09:47 Martelli: I get it and this cool, but I am at full capacity with ChatGPT and want to know how to get more memory? Can you help?
01:10:28 Leandra: Replying to "I get it and this co..."
You can go to the manage memory and manually delete the ones that aren’t as relevant.
01:11:04 Stephen Hendricks: Tried with a fiction genre and creativity in fields of science. Intersections with science history in past fiction genres that preceded actual invention. Pretty interesting possibilities based on responses.
01:11:05 Dani Trusca: It's extraordinary, especially since you can expand on each artifact that resonates. My idea was Beautify, the one word that encodes my entire life philosophy, living as art. It's so powerful to see my vision expressed in such detail. I'm also interested in experience design. This also created a powerful experience. It's powerful just to read. This is design space I want to explore further: infinite prompting as experience design/
01:11:32 Bonnie J.: Replying to "Tried with a fiction..."
That sounds really cool, Stephen!

👍🫀❤️🔥
01:13:39 Michael Glenn: I experienced the validation effect just this morning in sharing my idea with a trusted friend
01:14:16 Dani Trusca: Replying to "It's extraordinary, ..."
This is the conclusion:
Beautify: Meta-Expansion Map
What Beautify Is

01:15:52 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I’m getting it to work on anti-procrastination. I only got to listen to the first super human intelligence class yesterday (and not finished) but I loved the idea of creating a personality test using AI. So that’s what I’m exploring in terms of helping people to overcome procrastination - probably more than a personality test
01:18:40 Michael Glenn: Where does humanity fit in the world of AI?
01:18:59 Vikram K: Thats a good idea to show a spectrum of perspectives on news articles @sarika
01:19:12 Kevin Whitcher: Replying to "Where does humanity ..."
That is the question! Michael has a relationship with Claude! Ask him
01:19:51 Michael Glenn: Pre-confirmation bias
01:20:40 Marcin Podolski: extension of human beings go in 3 dimension: body - extension with tools expands power/possibilities of body. Extension of minds with computational power. Extension of Psyche with Virtual Reality. The most important where attention goes. But where it goes depend on our Ego development and maturity. Tools can be used for growth or to enslave.

Just sent a connect
01:24:37 Michael Simmons: I created a notebooklm notebook with 50+ different books on intelligence written from different fields. Using the possibility prompting paradigm, create a comprehensive, categorized multi-lelvel taxonomy of questions that I could ask the AI notebook in order to understand, build upon, and use the idea of human superintelligence. I want to explore the possibility space of what human potential can be unlocked with AI.
01:25:02 carolina arce: hi ! quick question: how do you get those books in pdf?
01:25:20 Dani Trusca: Design idea: What if I added the extended memory of my ChatGPT to a notebook? An AI for exploring the expanded memory of my own AI.
01:25:26 Michael Simmons: Replying to "hi ! quick question:..."
libgen.is
01:25:30 Michael Simmons: Replying to "hi ! quick question:..."
I pay for the books I use too
01:25:33 Michael Simmons: Replying to "hi ! quick question:..."
On Amazon
01:25:43 Vikram K: "Taxonomy of questions" - thats a useful term to improve my prompts.
01:25:59 Bonnie J.: Replying to "Design idea: What if..."
Is there a way to export that from ChatGPT?
01:26:07 Ben Chan: Replying to "Design idea: What if..."
Yes, this is the loop when you have a full live real time feed to your own digital twin.
01:26:08 faythebuchanan: Have to jump, so amazing, as usual!

You can, but it's a huge webpage, hard to process. Better to do it selectively, thread by thread.
01:26:53 Bonnie J.: Replying to "Design idea: What if..."
Thanks!
01:26:58 Kevin Whitcher: Does everyone see our questions?

@Michael Simmons this site is blocked by the high court - something about Talk Talk customers? Wondering if it’s the wrong link...
01:27:37 Janet Ridsdale: no
01:27:48 Kevin Whitcher: Good for me in London
01:27:51 Cynthia Yockey: Works for me.
01:27:53 Timothy Finn: Worked for me
01:27:55 Vikram K: Takes too long to respond to Hi
01:28:00 Don S: Worked

01:28:14 Martelli: I get it and this cool, but I am at full capacity with ChatGPT and want to know how to get more memory? Can you help?
01:28:31 Ben Chan: Maybe it’s overwhelmed or thinks there’s a DDOS attack on it
01:28:37 Michael Simmons: Replying to "I get it and this co..."
Not sure how to increase memory in ChatGPT.
01:28:44 Ben Chan: Oh no it finally came back.
01:28:47 Peter Ntende: Working for me. takes a little time to think, but gives good insights
01:28:51 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): Michael I was talking about this link - libgen.is
01:29:10 Bonnie J.: My #1 reflection today is still that I am not using AI at even 1% of its potential. :) Also, there are so many of the possibility prompt variations that I want to try!
01:29:24 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): I’ve not got lost - we’re doing something with your notebook lm?
01:29:30 Michael Simmons: yes
01:29:35 sarika: I had this other idea I considered extremely important to create a certain type of data set in a workplace to assist attorneys HR, increase hiring of psychologists, but set boundaries and contribute to CSR. Anyways, shall write it out better on my own and try to share for the next class
01:29:57 Michael Simmons: Replying to "I’ve not got lost - ..."
Asking it a question about human superintelligence
01:30:14 Marcin Podolski: Replying to "hi ! quick question:..."
I've read about libgen is a scam stealing data
01:30:20 Don S: Great prompt for surfacing multi-disciplinary perspectives.
01:30:45 Martelli: Please one question
01:30:47 Una Doyle: Business Coach (Double Your Profits): The NotebookLM link isn’t working for me - might be because I have a Workspace account? Maybe is not allowed to share or be shared with?
01:31:09 Leandra: Have to jump. Thank you!
01:31:55 Marcin Podolski: @Dani Truscadani you can organize with chrome extension: gpt easy folder chrome extension to organize chat with folders
