The Illusion of Thinking by AI – Apple’s Out of the Box Research. Applicable to Normal Investors.

The Illusion of Thinking by AI – Apple’s Out of the Box Research. Applicable to Normal Investors. 

Dear Investors,

Namaste! The saying goes – More you Change – More you remain the same. Apple published the report titled – The illusion of thinking on AI models. The report says – The Most sophisticated large reasoning models do not genuinely think or reason in a human-like way. Instead they excel at pattern recognition and mimicry. Generating responses that only appear intelligent, but lack true comprehension or conceptual thinking. 

In simple words – apple says – AI Models can’t think. They appear to be thinking but they are not thinking at all. Thinking is still the capacities of HUMAN only. (Actually few humans only). 

Apple is getting widespread support for this research. 

How does this apply to the NORMAL Individuals around us?

I got this message on WhatsApp after the plane crash. 

Life is so unpredictable.
You go for a vacation,
and terrorists shoot you.
You go to a trophy parade
and it ends in a stampede.
You go in a flight for work/vacation,
and it crashes. 
You are studying in your hostel,
and the plane falls on you.

Many of you may also have received the above kind of messages or the messages of Praying for the deceased in the plane crash. 

In a day to day life we wish – Good Morning / Good Evening / Good Night. 

Religion minded people will say Jai Jinendra / Jai Shree Krishna / Jai Swaminarayan / Ram-Ram and many other names of god as per their belief in their god. 

We wish Happy Birthday / Happy New Year / Happy Holi and many such occasional messages also. 

Many people when they pass by the temple – they will bow down from their CAR or Auto or walking also. They will assume that they have prayed to their god. 

If you see the above kind of behaviours – it is nothing but Human AI behaviour. It is coming out of the PATTERN of wishing / showing sorrows or showing happiness. It has not connection with the INSIDE of the person 99% of the time. It is not coming out of one’s conscious mind. Most of the time it’s coming out of HABIT or to keep up with the society ethics or just to please the fellow next door.

Most normal people are not interested in thinking because if they think – they will have to take decision based on the same and if the decision fails – they will have to blame themselves only. They are not ready to take the blame on themselves. So, do what others are doing. No application of mind at all. 

George Ivanovich Gurdjieff – the mystic of the early 20^th century said: - 

He taught that people are not conscious of themselves and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and serve our purpose as human beings.

He used to call such humans as without SOUL. He denied the belief that people are born with the SOUL. He said the SOUL comes only and only if you live every moment of life consciously.

How to make tons of money with the about information?

From the Apple’s research it becomes clear that AI MODELS can’t think!! Most HUMANS – they appear to be thinking and smart but they are following just a PATTERN or SOCIAL CUSTOMS or they are copying some leader in their field.  It means they are also not thinking before doing anything. 

With the above knowledge money making has become easy. You can start thinking !! The best thing about THINING is – it’s a skill and it can be learned. 

If you think and act or invest – you are miles ahead of the people and AI based programs who are not able to think consciously. 

How I understand the phrase - SKIN in the GAME? 

When you have thoroughly studied the DATA / information before doing anything, you have digested the same information consciously and when you take a decision with all your AWARENESS – you have the SKIN in the GAME. 

Just by putting millions or billions you can’t claim that you have the skin in the game. 

In simple words – if your “YOU” is not present while you are doing anything – you don’t have the SKIN in the GAME. You are a ROBOT. 

What NEXT? 

Shiv Khera is often saying – “Winners don’t do different things. They do things differently”.

So, you don’t have to find new investment ideas. Just invest where NON-THINKERS are investing but you study / think and invest. Do things differently.

Nobody will be able to stop you from making your own billions. 

All the best.
