Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

 



Take a look at my FlowGPT page and you'll understand what I mean. Things are very different than just a year ago at this time.  Not many people then were talking about ChatGPT, LLMs or generative AI. If you mentioned that you were a "prompt engineer," you would have received strange looks. But, it's all here now...and it's not going back in the bottle. 

Most of what you see here, my FlowGPT page and elsewhere has been free to use for a long time. 

Deep creativity takes work, a certain degree of anguish and a life time of trial and error.

I don’t like to sell. But, I need to sell things.


I was a teacher and transitioned to project work and consulting. This created a problem that I was not fully prepared for. Sales! I mean, students show up in your class no matter what. Right? But clients? Yeah, that’s a tougher sale. So, I started fiddling around with AI and figured out a way for GPT to take over that function. One problem (at least with ChatGPT) was that it would not insert links in the output or conversation. There was no way to transition someone out of the conversation to my Calendly or Stripe apps so they could sign up for my classes or pay for these services. But, this morning… problem solved. Using the Poe AI platform and Claude, it worked like a breeze. Take a look for yourself


You can see the intake bot in action near the top of this page. https://www.glidercell.com/courses

Now watch as I transition here into sales (haha) — if you’d like some training on this or, perhaps, someone to build you a GPT like the one I created (for thousands less than what you’d normally pay), Sign up for some time here or contact me directly at lee@glidercell.com.

The prompts or "bots" might allow the accountant to provide more personalized support to clients, leading to higher client satisfaction and retention.


A private fitness coach who uses surrogate prompts to provide personalized workout routines might find their clients to be more motivated and consistent with their workouts. The prompts could help the coach tailor their approach to each client's unique needs and preferences, leading to better results and more referrals.


A business consultant who uses surrogate prompts to guide their clients through complex decision-making processes might find their clients to be more confident and decisive. The prompts could help the consultant provide real-time feedback and support, leading to better outcomes for their clients.


What about attorneys?


An attorney could use a surrogate prompt with ChatGPT or other LLM (Language Model) in a number of ways. 

Here are a few examples: 

Legal Research: An attorney could use a surrogate prompt to conduct legal research. By providing the model with a prompt related to a legal issue, the model could generate relevant case law, statutes, and other legal sources that the attorney could then review. 

Contract Review: An attorney could use a surrogate prompt to review contracts. By providing the model with a prompt related to a specific provision or clause in a contract, the model could generate suggestions for edits or revisions to that provision or clause. 

Drafting Legal Documents: An attorney could use a surrogate prompt to help draft legal documents. By providing the model with a prompt related to the type of document the attorney wants to draft (e.g., a will, a lease agreement, a complaint), the model could generate a rough draft that the attorney could then edit and refine. 

Predicting Case Outcomes: An attorney could use a surrogate prompt to predict the outcome of a legal case. By providing the model with a prompt related to the facts of the case and the legal issues at stake, the model could generate a prediction of the likely outcome based on past cases with similar fact patterns. 

Legal Chatbot: An attorney could use a surrogate prompt to build a legal chatbot. By providing the model with a set of prompts related to common legal questions or issues, the model could generate responses that the chatbot could then provide to clients or other users seeking legal advice.


Overall, the potential of surrogate prompts is only limited by our imagination. By integrating AI with the content and methods of various professions, professionals can effectively create "duplicates" of themselves and offer continuous support to clients, even when they are not physically present.

Thriving on the Edge of Chaos

ChatGPT did a nice job of summarizing my 108 page graduate thesis paper. You can read more about this 7 year qualitative study here

Summary

Lee L. Chazen's thesis titled "Thriving on the Edge of Chaos: An Argument for a Complex Adaptive Theory of Education" presents a case for the adoption of a complex adaptive system approach in the field of education, challenging the conventional scientific-deterministic model. His study found profound changes in student participation and higher order behavior when implementing a more fluid, laterally powered system, where the teacher acted more as a facilitator. These changes, he argues, lead to enhanced creative and critical thinking in students. The research underpins the argument with insights from emergence, chaos theory, complexity, and consilience.

Facts

  • 📚 Chazen argues against the traditional scientific-deterministic model of education which, according to him, stifles curiosity, creativity, and potential for growth in both teachers and students. Instead, he proposes a complex adaptive theory of education.
  • 📈 This work is a qualitative study that includes data from classroom observations, teacher and student notes, administrative evaluations, and various literature sources, over a seven-year period.
  • 🔄 When Chazen changed his classroom structure from a hierarchical model to a complex adaptive system, he noted profound changes such as increased participation and complex higher order behavior among students.
  • 🎓 The role of the teacher in this model shifts from an authoritative figure to a facilitator, acting as a feedback loop, creating a more inclusive, interactive learning environment.
  • 🧩 Instead of using lectures to deliver course content, an open-ended game format was used to encourage engagement and thought-processing.
  • ⚙️ The research draws support from areas like emergence, chaos theory, complexity, and consilience, and finds many similarities between scientific phenomena and social behavior observed in the classroom.
  • 🧪 Chazen suggests the idea that the second law of thermodynamics (everything is prone to entropy) can be overturned and that order can arise from chaos, an interesting point for further research.

ChatGPT and the Future of Education: Educational Game Developer Shows Teachers How They Can Navigate The AI Tsunami

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

How One 800-Word Mega-Prompt Could Replace Textbooks and Transform The Way Students Learn


San Francisco, CA - May 3rd, 2023 - As AI technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the potential for systems like ChatGPT to revolutionize education has become increasingly apparent. In a recent episode of the ChatGPT & Prompt Engineering Podcast, educational game developer and prompt engineer Lee Chazen discussed the transformative potential of prompt engineering and AI generative language programs like ChatGPT.


Chazen's graduate research twenty years ago argued for a self-organized learning environment where students could create their own questions and answers, even building a game that would play out over the course of the year, covering all the material needed for the class. With ChatGPT, this vision can become a reality. Chazen revealed that only five to six well-crafted prompts can generate a year's worth of content and curriculum for a class, potentially replacing textbooks. He showcased an 800-word prompt that generates 400 multiple-choice and short-answer questions and answers, effectively dividing the recorded span of history into 20 sections of time, seven areas of knowledge, and six levels of learning. Additionally, teachers can insert various educational theories, e.g. Bloom’s Taxonomy or Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences such that one can cater to different learning styles.


Chazen leverages AI models like GPT-4 to generate engaging content for websites and social media, providing valuable insights for businesses, educators, and content creators. He believes that ChatGPT and other language models are mirrors of humanity, only as good or bad as the prompts we construct.


As a former teacher and content strategist, Chazen has extensive experience in using AI to enhance the learning experience. He is available for interviews and workshops on a range of topics, including the role of right-brained conceptual thinkers in the AI world, the importance of hypergeneralists, and the potential of ChatGPT as a moderator and coach.


To learn more about Lee Chazen's projects and innovations, visit Global Challenge 2.0 / Metamorphosis, the Right Brain World Blog, or GliderCell. For more information or to schedule an interview, contact Lee at lee@glidercell.com or book an appointment here.


The ChatGPT and Prompt Engineering Podcast with Greg Schwartz is set to release the exclusive episode featuring Lee Chazen on Wednesday, May 3rd, providing state-of-the-art information on prompt engineering, ChatGPT, and other AI systems. Chazen reminds listeners that ChatGPT is a reflection of the digital information we have produced, and its potential is only limited by the quality of the prompts we construct.

For Sale as an NFT: A 1957 Invention of an Early "Microwave" Vending Machine / Food Heating and Dispensing Apparatus





A Brief History


Otto Chazen, the inventor, left Berdychiv, Ukraine with his sister Ruth - to escape the Cossacks and the pogroms of the early 1920s. He and his sister dreamed of a better life in America. After hiding out in Poland and Romania, they eventually made it to Buffalo, NY where he became an insurance man and raised a family. Though he worked in insurance, the story is told that he had training to be an engineer. He and his son Boris, who in the 1950s, became an engineer got to work on developing what would have been the first of its kind – a microwave vending machine. Though the microwave had already been invented in 1947, there was nothing of its kind in popular use - a machine that would dispense a hot meal. Even in the 1970s, you might see a vending machine next to a microwave oven, but you still wouldn’t see the two combined into one thing. After they completed the design, Otto would spend the next several years writing letters to companies for funding and partnerships. Nothing happened. Otto and his dream died in 1966. 






Make Otto Chazen’s Dream Come True 




You can now own a one of a kind, single item NFT of one of the earliest versions of the microwave oven in the form of a patent filed for a microwave vending machine – called a Food Heating and Dispensing Apparatus. It has been cited by 23 companies, i.e. referenced in their work. There will be no duplications of this collectible such that if you purchase this you will effectively own the intellectual property and design. Our family inherited this from our grandfather and have no interest in developing this product – so that if you make this purchase, it is yours to own, trade, build or defend as a patent or resubmit, as the case may be. As artwork, you can modify, commercialize and otherwise display to your desire. 



Explanation of description from the patent by ChatGPT


This patent is for a machine that automatically sells and heats pre-cooked meals. The machine uses a coin-controlled mechanism to quickly heat the meals using dielectric heaters. The customer can then take the meal out of the machine through an open door. The machine also has a signal that alerts the customer when a certain type of meal is sold out and also returns their coins. The machine can be adjusted to take longer to heat the meals during slower periods to save on costs.


The patent also explains that this invention is an improvement over previous vending machines that have been disclosed, which only sold and heated items such as hot dogs or hamburgers. This machine is specifically designed to sell and heat pre-cooked dinners. The use of dielectric heaters allows for the meals to be heated rapidly and efficiently. The coin-controlled mechanism and the ability to adjust the heating time during slower periods make this machine practical for use in busy vending locations. Overall, this invention is a convenient and efficient way for customers to purchase and consume pre-cooked meals.

This passage describes the design of a vending machine that sells pre-cooked meals. The machine has a cabinet with a door that opens to reveal a refrigerator compartment inside. This compartment can be set to either chill or freeze the meals, and is divided into sections for storing different types of meals. The meals are stored on non-metallic plates, such as paper, ceramic, or plastic, and are supported in upright positions so that they can be easily removed from the refrigerator compartment. The machine is divided into 9 sections in this example, but the number of sections can be adjusted as desired.

The machine is designed in a way that meals are stored in frozen condition and when the customers want to buy a meal, they can select the type of meal they want from the selection of different types of meals that are stored in different sections. The interior of the refrigerator compartment is maintained at a low temperature by a refrigerating unit, which is a common construction and well known, so it's not described in detail. The machine also has upright partitions and horizontal guide rails that separate the different sections, and the meals are stored on non-metallic plates, such as paper, ceramic, or plastic that support the meals in upright positions, so they can be easily removed from the sections. The machine is designed to be convenient and efficient for customers to purchase and consume pre-cooked meals.

This text is describing a food heating machine. The machine has a plate (18) that is placed on a heating surface (30). There is a movable micro switch (31) on the heating surface that is normally in an upward position. The heating surface is slightly below the level of the chute that the plate is placed on, so that the plate can rest against it. When the plate with food is placed on the heating surface, the switch is pressed and the power unit (33) is activated. This type of power unit is well known and can heat the food quickly, in about 15-20 seconds. This machine is useful in places where there is a high demand for food during certain times, so that the food can be heated quickly and served without long delays.

This process is describing a mechanism for selecting and dispensing food from a cabinet. The microswitch v'32 is used to detect when a plate of food is partly withdrawn from the cabinet, and it connects with contacts 93, 120, and 71 through a conductor 79. When switch 65 is pressed, it activates a step relay that moves a contact 70 into engagement with contact 93. There are multiple dinner selecting switches (38) that are used to select which food to dispense. These switches receive power from conductors 121 and 79, and from contact 93 of the step relay. When one of the switches is pressed, it closes a circuit through conductor 74 and switch 75, which activates solenoids 27 that withdraw the latches that hold a plate of the selected food. There is also a self-conchute microswitch 229 that prevents the door from being opened until the food is ready to be served. The cabinet has multiple doors, each with an indicator (such as an illuminated sign 36) to show that the food is ready to be removed.


Your purchase will support the creative work of Lee Chazen
