• Ep. 237 Looking back at my goals and readjusting

  Send us a text “Plan on a system with the assumption of hardship.” In this episode I reflect on the goals and systems I was hoping to put in place at the beginning of the year and see where they are.  I look back on episode 204, Becoming, and repeat quotes from James Clear and Ashely Jansen about putting systems in place and making sure we have the assumption of hardship while we are trying to accomplish said goals or systems.  I reflect on the systems that are working for me and what I need to do to get things back on track.  I also make some adjustments to my key results as I go into the last two months of the year.  Hoping this helps me go from feeling frazzled to ready to take on the day.  For shownotes go to  www.findingthefloor.com/ep237 I would love to hear from you!

• Ep. 236 - Understanding AI - part 5 - A spiritual understanding and summing up the series

  Send us a text “Work is essential for our spiritual progression”  This episode I finish up with the Understanding AI series.  First talking about Elder David A. Bednar’s talk “Things as they really are, 2.0” from 2024.  Where Elder Bednar reminds us of our moral agency to admonish us not to become objects but that we are agents.  I share his reminder of the divine attribute of creating and working to help us in our becoming.  At the end I share 10 things ChatGPT came up with to use AI in my everyday life - that will help assist but not take away my agency.  I think my favorite is that I can give Chat a list of things in my fridge and pantry and it will suggest some meals to make.  This has been a helpful exploration for me as I have learned just a little bit more how LLMs can be a tool for my good. For show notes go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep236 I would love to hear from you!

• Ep. 235 - Understanding AI part 4 - AI as a Co-worker, tutor and coach

  Send us a text “Will AI take over my job?”  In part 4 of the Understanding Artificial Intelligence series we explore AI as a Co-worker, Tutor and Coach.  All ideas coming from the book by Ethan Mollick, Co-Intelligence - Living and working with AI.  I share how Mollick makes the point that our jobs are made up of different tasks and that AI might be able to help us with the more tedious parts of our tasks and then we can do more of the creative tasks or tasks that we enjoy doing.  I share two different methods that Ethan Mollick mentions in his book regarding AI as a co-worker, the centaur or the cyborg. Then I share how AI might help us with education in a more tutoring role.  Mollick predicts that AI might be able to take over some of the passive roles of education while our teachers are involved in engaging students actively in the classroom.  And lastly how the LLMs might be able to assist us in our expertise training as a coach.  Adding an additional layer of feedback as we go from formal education to on the job training.  For transcripts and sources got to www.findingthefloor.com/ep235 I would love to hear from you!
