OpenAI plans app store for AI software, The Information reports – Reuters.com

June 20 (Reuters) - OpenAI, creator of the widely popular chatbot ChatGPT, plans to launch a marketplace that will allow developers to sell their AI models built on top of its own AI technology, news site the Information reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of discussions at the company.

Enterprise customers using ChatGPT often tailor the technology to their specific uses, which range from identifying financial fraud from online transaction data to answering questions about specific markets based on internal documents. According to the news report, makers of such models could offer them to other businesses through OpenAI's proposed marketplace.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman disclosed the potential plans during a meeting with developers in London last month, the report said.

Such a marketplace could compete with app stores run by some of the company's customers and technology partners - including Salesforce (CRM.N) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) - and help OpenAI's technology reach a broader customer base.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The Information also reported that two of the company's customers, Aquant, which makes software that manufacturers use to guide customers through device maintenance and repairs, and education app maker Khan Academy, might be interested in offering their ChatGPT-powered AI models on OpenAI's marketplace.

Since its release late last year, hundreds of businesses have adopted ChatGPT to automate tasks and increase efficiency. Companies are also racing to offer their customers new tools and capabilities based on the AI software's advanced large language models (LLMs).

How Christopher Nolan Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI – WIRED

When wired heard that Christopher Nolan and his producerand wifeEmma Thomas were coming out with a biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer, we were perplexed. At least for a moment. It is hard for WIRED to resist a NolanThomas film. Nolan has a real love of science, just like us. (We know this because, well, it's pretty obvious in some of his movies, but also because Nolan guest-edited an issue of WIRED back in 2014 when his film Interstellar came out and we got him to geek out over physics.) Add to that, the duo like to bend their audience's minds. And their eyeballs. They make superhero movies! It's so much chum for WIRED.

So, Oppenheimer. A biopic, a look back at history. Alas. WIRED parlance is more often about looking ahead. (Not that we didn't like Dunkirk.) So we kinda thought maybe we weren't the magazine to dive into this one.

But we couldn't get the idea out of our minds, because so many conversations in the office and in meetings and around technology were about the potentially apocalyptic time we are living in. Climate, war, yes. But also, generative AI. Over and over, I was hearing people compare this moment to the mid-1940s, when we stepped across the threshold into the nuclear age, or to the years when Oppenheimer was heading up the project to build the bomb in New Mexico.

Here comes the full disclosure: I know something about Oppenheimer, and his path to Los Alamos. I helped edit a biography about him and three women who were central to his life, written by my mother, Shirley Streshinsky, and the historian Patricia Klaus. I started to want to know what Christopher Nolan thinks of the time we are in, considering he has spent his last few years steeped in the time so many people kept referring to. Perhaps Nolan and Thomas line up with WIRED interests all over again.

So I headed to LA, to a quiet neighborhood where the couple keep an office. I had hoped to talk to them both, and as I entered a glass-walled, stylish conference room overlooking a garden, happily, Thomas was standing there too. I burbled something about how often her name gets left out of interviews. She thanked me for that. Turns out she couldn't stick around. But toward the end of my conversation with Nolan, he told me, Everything we do is in lockstep. I mean, she's the best producer in Hollywood, without question. And their latest film, though it's set firmly in the past, might just be their most forward-looking yet.

MARIA STRESHINSKY: Maybe this is presumptuous, but looking at your films in reverse, it feels like your and Emma's work has been, all the while, leading up to Oppenheimer. In ways, it makes so much sense.

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN: I don't think that's at all presumptuous. It's how I feel about the film.

(Also, I don't mean to say your career is over.)

I've tended to feel this way with every project I've done. Because I'm trying to build on what I've learned before. Every time you finish a film, there are questions left hanging. And so with the next film, you kind of pick up the thread. In the case of Oppenheimer, very literally, there is a reference to Oppenheimer in Tenet [Nolan's previous movie].

German tabloid Bild cuts 200 jobs and says some roles will be replaced by AI – The Guardian

Germany

Publisher Axel Springer announces reorganisation of regional business and outlines plans for digital future

Germanys Bild tabloid, the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe, has announced a 100m cost-cutting programme that will lead to about 200 redundancies, and warned staff that it expects to make further editorial cuts due to the opportunities of artificial intelligence.

Bilds publisher, Axel Springer SE, said in an email to staff seen by the rival Frankfurter Allgemeine (FAZ) newspaper that it would unfortunately be parting ways with colleagues who have tasks that in the digital world are performed by AI and/or automated processes. The short-term job-losses, expected to be in the region of 200, are due to a reorganisation of Bilds regional newspaper business and are not believed to related to AI.

The moves follow an announcement in February by the chief executive, Mathias Dpfner, that the publisher was to be a purely digital media company. AI tools such as ChatGPT could make independent journalism better than it ever was or replace it, he said.

He predicted that AI would soon be better at the aggregation of information than human journalists and said that only publishers who created the best original content such as investigative journalism and original commentary would survive.

Springer is not the first news publisher to look at artificial intelligence. BuzzFeed this year announced it aimed to use AI to enhance content and online quizzes, while the Daily Mirror and Daily Express in the UK are also exploring the use of artificial intelligence.

AI tools such as ChatGPT can generate highly sophisticated text from simple user prompts, producing anything from essays and job applications to poems and works of fiction, but its responses are sometimes inaccurate or even fabricated.

Mens Journal and the tech website Cnet have also been using AI to generate articles later scanned for accuracy by human editors although Cnet conceded in January the project had limitations after reports that more than half of articles had to be corrected.

In April, the publishers of the German weekly magazine Die Aktuelle sacked its editor and apologised to the family of Michael Schumacher after it ran an interview with the Formula One legend that had been entirely generated by AI.

The seven-times F1 world champion, 54, has not been seen in public since December 2013, when he suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps. His family have launched legal action against the magazines publishers.

Bild said it would aim to avoid forced redundancies where possible but was looking to cut the editorial payroll by the low three-digits, or about 200 jobs, by reducing the number of regional editions it prints from 18 to 12, FAZ said.

The email was signed by four top managers at the paper, including editors-in-chief Marion Horn and Robert Schneider, FAZ said. Similar measures could ultimately be expected at the Springer groups flagship daily Die Welt, it suggested.

Dpfner had already undertaken radical personnel changes at the tabloid, where sales have fallen from 4.5m 20-odd years ago to just over 1m last year, in an attempt to turn round a disappointing financial performance and bounce back from a string of scandals.

The influential daily, whose sensationalist, highly politicised reporting is often compared to that of the Sun in Britain, was forced to fire its former editor Julian Reichelt, amid allegations it tried to cover up sexual misconduct and bullying.

Earlier this year Dpfner had to apologise after leaked texts revealed he had tried to use Bild to influence Germanys last election and fed it his personal views attacking climate change activism, Covid measures and the former chancellor Angela Merkel.

The German Journalists Association (DJV) has criticised Springers plans, warning that job cuts at Bild would slaughter the groups cash cow. The move was not just antisocial towards employees, but also extremely stupid economically, it said.

A Bild spokesperson said: We believe in the opportunities of AI. We want to use them at Axel Springer to make journalism better and maintain independent journalism in the long term.

We are approaching the topic with an open mind and currently have many initiatives with which we are exploring areas of application for AI for our journalistic brands, both in the production processes of the editorial offices and in relation to the reader experience.

This article was amended on 21 June 2023 to add a statement from Axel Springer that was received after publication, and to clarify that the expected 200 short-term job losses announced by the company are part of a restructuring of its regional newspaper business and are not believed to be related to AI.

France makes high-profile push to be the A.I. hub of Europe setting up challenge to U.S., China – CNBC

French President Emmanuel Macron attended the country's premier technology event Viva Tech. Macron told CNBC France will "invest like crazy" into A.I.

PARIS France is making a major push to position itself as Europe's hub for artificial intelligence, throwing its weight behind the fast-growing and much-hyped technology.

"I think we are number one [in AI] in continental Europe, and we have to accelerate," French President Emmanuel Macron told CNBC's Karen Tso last week.

Countries are looking to position themselves as AI hubs, because the technology is seen as revolutionary and therefore of strategic importance to governments around the world. AI is viewed as impacting industries from finance to healthcare, but has also been caught in the middle of the broader technology battle playing out between China and the U.S.

Hype around AI has been partly sparked by the viral nature of U.S. firm OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot.

AI was the phrase on everyone's lips at France's annual technology conference Viva Tech, from startups to established technology firms, along with companies from industries as diverse as cosmetics and banking.

Macron, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and Digital Minister Jean-Noel Barrot attended the event, adding the government's backing to France's tech push.

"We will invest like crazy on training and research," Macron told CNBC, adding that France is well-positioned in AI due to its access to talent and start-ups forming around the technology.

While the U.S is seen as the leader in AI by many measures, France hopes to catch up.

"Believe me this is clear that the U.S. is number one, for good reason because it is a huge domestic market ... I want us to clearly bridge the gap and invest much more, develop much more and accelerate much more," Macron said.

Paris' ambitions face tough competition even within the European Union.

"France definitely has a chance to be the leader in Europe, but it faces stiff competition from Germany and the U.K.," Anton Dahbura, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Assured Autonomy, told CNBC via email.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the past week made his pitch for Britain to become a global AI center.

Dahbura said that, for France to find success, it will need to "use AI to build on the economic areas it's already strong in," such as manufacturing and pharmaceutical.

"It's a key time to be strategic to identify specific areas of distinct competency and invest heavily in AI to build an edge," Dahbura said.

U.S. companies currently dominate the conversation around AI, with names such as Microsoft which invested in OpenAI and chipmaker Nvidia staying top of mind.

France doesn't have an AI giant like the U.S., but wants to create two or three "big global players" in the technology, according to Macron.

it is banking on its startups to grow quickly. Underscoring the potential and hype of AI developments, four-week-old French startup Mistral AI raised 105 million euros to fund the company. A number of other local startups were showing off their wares at Viva Tech.

Part of France's pitch to be an A.I. hub leads on regulation around the technology.

The European Parliament greenlit the EU AI Act, a wide-sweeping first-of-its-kind regulation on artificial intelligence. It is not yet law, but, if passed, would bring a risk-based approach to regulation across the EU.

France has typically been seen as a proponent of strong regulation on technology but it has taken issue with parts of the EU AI Act related to generative AI, the type of technology that underpins OpenAI's ChatGPT, which it sees as too stringent.

"My worry is that in the recent past few weeks, the EU Parliament has taken a very sort of strong stance on AI regulation, using, in some sense, this AI act as a way to try and solve too many problems at once," Barrot, France's digital minister, said on the provisions around generative AI.

France desires a global regulation on A.I., which it hopes to achieve through the G7 group that includes the U.S. and Britain, as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

"From my point of view I think we do need a regulation and all the players, even the U.S. players, agree with that. I think we need a global regulation," Macron said.

France sees the U.S. as both a rival and an ally. French and European companies will try to compete with U.S. giants like Microsoft and Google, but Washington's by-in is required for any kind of global regulation .

"Competition is always a good thing. So we have a very close cooperation with the U.S., but we also want to get access to our own AI intelligence and companies. So I think that having a fair competition between the U.S. and Europe and also a co-operation on some key devices is good for the U.S. and good for Europe," French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, told CNBC.

"On regulation as well, I think this is absolutely vital to have an in-depth discussion with the American authorities on the best way of regulating artificial intelligence."

YouTube removes video of RFK Jr. and Jordan Peterson for misinformation – NBC News

YouTube said Monday that it had removed a video of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking with podcast host Jordan Peterson for spreading what the company said was vaccine misinformation.

The decision is the latest challenge for Kennedy as he seeks to find support for a Democratic presidential run after years as an anti-vaccine crusader. The video was removed amid a broader tug-of-war online between vaccine conspiracy theorists and prominent doctors.

YouTubes policies against hosting false medical information are long-standing.

"We removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTubes general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities," YouTube said Monday in a statement.

Peterson, a right-wing Canadian pundit and psychologist known for his attacks on feminism and racial diversity, recorded the video as a podcast for The Daily Wire, a conservative media outlet.

Kennedy and Peterson criticized YouTube on Sunday for removing the 95-minute video. They accused the company of interfering with a presidential election campaign.

"Should social media platforms censor presidential candidates?" Kennedy asked on Twitter, where the video remains online.

It was not the first timeKennedy has lost access to social media accounts for spreading health misinformation. Last year, Facebook and Instagram cited the same reason when they suspended Childrens Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group that Kennedy founded.

At least one clip of the interview still appears on TikTok. A representative for TikTok did not immediately have a comment.

Kennedy, who is challenging President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary campaign, is the latest member of a political dynasty to seek the White House. His uncle was President John F. Kennedy, and his father was Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated in the 1960s.

Several members of the Kennedy family have distanced themselves from his anti-vaccine positions, writing in an op-ed in 2019 that he had "helped to spread dangerous misinformation."

Kennedy has sought out uncritical media outlets; last week, he gave a three-hour interview to podcaster Joe Rogan and offered false information or unsubstantiated allegations on a variety of subjects, including Wi-Fi technology.

Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine specialist, took to Twitter on Saturday to criticize that interview, after which Rogan fired back by inviting Hotez to debate Kennedy on the show. Rogan said he would give $100,000 to charity if Hotez agreed.

Hotez, a dean at Baylor College of Medicine, declined, saying in an appearance on MSNBC that appearing alongside Kennedy would turn the discussion into The Jerry Springer Show.

The back-and-forth became a leading topic for weekend political discussion on Twitter, as tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban chose sides. Hotez said anti-vaccine activists confronted him at home Sunday asking him to debate Kennedy.

YouTube and other social media platforms have taken a hard line against false medical information since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting advice from official sources and removing posts that they said threatened public health.

But Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, said Friday that its policy to curb the spread of misinformation related to Covid-19 would no longer be in effect globally.

YouTube says it removed Jordan Peterson interview of RFK Jr. for violating vaccine policy – Fox News

Social media giant YouTube took down an interview of Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. claiming that chemicals in the water are turning kids transgender.

On Sunday, both Kennedy and podcast host Jordan Peterson tweeted that the video-sharing website had taken down their interview from an episode of Petersons show and accused the social media platform of censorship and interfering with a presidential campaign.

"What do you think... Should social media platforms censor presidential candidates?" Kennedy asked on Twitter. "My conversation with [Peterson] was deleted by [YouTube]."

"Luckily you can watch it here on [Twitter] (thank you [Elon Musk])," Kennedy added, going off in a Twitter thread.

"Maybe you can help me figure out what misinformation was in this interview," Kennedy tweeted.

"Now [YouTube] has taken upon itself to actively interfere with a presidential election campaign," Peterson tweeted.

Kennedy's campaign told Fox News Digital that although "vaccines are not a major priority for Mr. Kennedy in this campaign, he will be happy to debate the issue with any prominent proponent of the conventional view."

"Mr. Kennedy does not believe the attacks are coordinated. People are simply speaking out according to what they believe," Kennedy's campaign said. "These beliefs are the result of the long influence of corporate money in medicine, research, media, and government."

"Even so, there are troubling indications in published research of serious safety issues with vaccines in general, but especially the Covid shots," they continued. "The real issue for Mr. Kennedy is regulatory capture and corporate influence over government. He is in favor of properly conducted, unbiased, transparent safety testing of all vaccines.

A Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital YouTube "removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTubes general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities."

Additionally, the spokesperson said the company "removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel featuring a conversation with Robert F Kennedy Jr." and that Google's "Community Guidelines apply equally to all creators on our platform, regardless of political viewpoint."

"Under our general vaccine misinformation policies, we remove false claims about currently administered vaccines that are approved and confirmed to be safe and effective by local health authorities and the WHO. This includes content that falsely alleges that approved vaccines are dangerous and cause chronic health effects, claims that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease, or contains misinformation on the substances contained in vaccines will be removed. This would include content that falsely says that approved vaccines cause autism, cancer or infertility, or that substances in vaccines can track those who receive them."

"Our policies not only cover specific routine immunizations like for measles or Hepatitis B, but also apply to general statements about vaccines," the spokesperson said. "Content that would otherwise violate our Community Guidelines may stay on YouTube when it has Educational, Documentary, Scientific, or Artistic (EDSA) context, such as providing countervailing views to the remarks that violate our policies."

In the interview, Kennedy claimed that "a lot of the sexual dysphoria" America is seeing comes from exposure to chemicals in the water.

"I think a lot of the problems we see in kids, particularly boys, its probably underappreciated on that how much of that is coming from chemical exposures, including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that were seeing," Kennedy said.

"I mean, theyre swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today, and many of those are endocrine disruptors. Theres atrazine throughout our water supply," the Democrat presidential candidate continued.

"Atrazine, by the way, if you in a lab put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, it will chemically castrate and forcefully feminize every frog in there," Kennedy asserted. "And 10% of the frogs, the male frogs will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs if its doing that to frogs. It could, theres a lot of other evidence that its doing to human beings as well."

Kennedy told podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan last week that he thinks he would be assassinated by the CIA if elected president as he has claimed the agency was involved in the assassination of his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy.

"I gotta be careful," Kennedy said. "Im aware of that, you know, Im aware of that danger. I dont live in fear of it at all."

"But Im not stupid about it, and I take precautions," he added.

Kennedy said the military, the intelligence community and his uncle were "at war" with each other during JFK's presidency and that the two entities were "trying to trick" the late president into deploying troops to various countries, including Cuba and Vietnam.

The Democratic presidential candidate added that his uncle was so fed up with the CIA that he wanted to "shatter" the agency and "scatter it to the winds."

YouTube Takes Down RFK Jr. Interview Suggesting Chemicals in Water Supply Might Feminize Children Like They Do Frogs – Yahoo Entertainment

YouTube removed an interview that Jordan Peterson conducted with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in which the Democratic presidential challenger repeated a theory suggesting that certain chemicals in the water supply shown to forcefully feminize frogs could also be turning kids transgender.

I mean, theyre swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today, and many of those are endocrine disruptors. Theres atrazine throughout our water supply, RFK Jr. said in the video posted in early June. Atrazine, by the way, if you in a lab put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, it will chemically castrate and forcefully feminize every frog in there. And 10% of the frogs, the male frogs will turn into fully viable females able to produce viable eggs if its doing that to frogs. It could, theres a lot of other evidence that its doing to human beings as well.

The video gained additional attention after Kennedy repeated the suggestion on Joe Rogans Spotify podcast last week.

The Environmental Protection Agency defines altrazine as a chlorinated triazine systemic herbicide that selectively regulates growth of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Pesticides containing the herbicide are registered for use on sweet corn, sorghum, sugarcane, wheat, macadamia nuts and guava as well as inedible plants.

I think a lot of the problems we see in kids, particularly boys, its probably underappreciated on that how much of that is coming from chemical exposures, including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that were seeing, RFK Jr. said.

Peterson tweeted about the videos removal, deeming it an interference with a presidential campaign.

RFK Jr. reminded followers that the interview was still available via Twitter, thanking platform owner Elon Musk. RFK Jr., who is campaigning for the Democratic candidacy in the 2024 presidential election, appeared on Rogans podcast, where he also repeated the theory that routine vaccines are correlated to the rise in autism.

YouTube yanks Jordan Peterson’s interview with RFK Jr. claiming it violates their vaccine policy – Daily Mail

YouTube removed an interview conducted by Jordan Peterson with 2024 Democratic candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claiming it violated its guidelines against sharing vaccine misinformation.

During the interview, RFK Jr. repeated his arguments against the vaccine while making other bizarre claims, including that chemicals in water areturning children transgender.

The Google-owned company said Monday: 'We removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTube's general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities.'

Kennedy, who launched his presidential campaign in April, criticized YouTube for the removal of the video, which was posted earlier this month.

On Twitter, Kennedy wrote: 'What do you think Should social media platforms censor presidential candidates?'

'My conversation with @JordanBPeterson was deleted by @YouTube. Luckily7 you can watch it here on Twitter (thank you Elon Musk).

Peterson also responded, accusing YouTube of having 'taken upon itself to actively interfere with a presidential election campaign.'

According to its vaccine misinformation policy, YouTube forbids content that 'poses a serious risk of egregious harm by spreading medical misinformation about currently administered vaccines that are approved and confirmed to be safe and effective by local health authorities and by the World Health Organization (WHO).'

The platform stated its guidelines apply to all content and creators on the platform, no matter their politics.

Earlier this month, Kennedy's Instagram was reinstated following a ban issued due to posting 'debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines.'

Kennedy's campaign told Fox News that although 'vaccines are not a major priority for Mr. Kennedy in this campaign, he will be happy to debate the issue with any prominent proponent of the conventional view.'

'Mr. Kennedy does not believe the attacks are coordinated. People are simply speaking out according to what they believe. These beliefs are the result of the long influence of corporate money in medicine, research, media, and government.'

'Even so, there are troubling indications in published research of serious safety issues with vaccines in general, but especially the Covid shots. The real issue for Mr. Kennedy is regulatory capture and corporate influence over government. He is in favor of properly conducted, unbiased, transparent safety testing of all vaccines,' concluded the campaign's statement.

In the interview with Peterson, Kennedy claimed it is the chemicals in the water that are turning children transgender.

The son of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy said that 'a lot of the sexual dysphoria' America is seeing comes from exposure to chemicals in the water.

'I think a lot of the problems we see in kids, particularly boys, it's probably under-appreciated on that how much of that is coming from chemical exposures, including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that we're seeing,' he said.

'I mean, they're swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today, and many of those are endocrine disruptors. There's atrazine throughout our water supply.'

RFK Jr. has found himself in news headlines in recent days, mainly for his vaccine views. He has long been critical of them, saying they cause autism. The 2024 hopeful recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast, where he questioned vaccines.

That led Dr. Peter Hotez to criticize the interview on social media. Rogan then issued a challenge for the doctor to debate RFK Jr. on his podcast.

The challenge led to backlash, from both sides of the debate, on social media.

Its a miracle of stupidity: Jordan Peterson told Dave Ramsey that this is the number-one thing Americans need to accomplish their goals and its dead…

When it comes to vision, many Americans get the concepts importance when it comes to their love lives and family goals. But what about finances? Maybe feeling spent literally is more like it.

On a recent episode of The Ramsey Show, Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson contended that its fairly shocking that so many Americans have failed to visualize their financial goals.

Its a miracle of stupidity, Peterson said. Its the number-one thing we should be teaching people, and we dont do it at all!

Peterson told host Dave Ramsey that while poverty has many causes, the absence of a plan ranks high up there. And despite the widespread belief that only the rich get richer, Peterson stated that even the rich cant achieve their goals financial or otherwise without planning.

You need to develop a vision for your life, he stressed. And that makes delaying gratification for example, and not engaging in impulsive momentary pleasure, worthwhile because youre building towards something that you actually want to attain.

If you ask Peterson, it boils down to some fairly simple questions. Americans need to ask themselves who they want to be and why; where they see themselves in five years; and what theyre building towards. In other words: Why work if theres nothing worthwhile at the end of the line?

Ramsey further argued that not only does having a high definition vision benefit you in the long run, but also in the short term as burnout goes away.

Story continues

Youre probably tired, but youre not burnt out, Ramsey added.

This comes as you work towards a goal, Peterson explained. You experience the hopes, joys and other strong positive emotions that come with achieving that goal little by little. And that in turn makes you want to work even harder and improve your focus.

No goal, you have none of that! No vision, no goal! Peterson said. So youre not going to get tired and feel hard done by if your sacrifices youre endeavoring to do are clearly worthwhile by your own definition.

To help, Peterson created an exercise for helping come up with your vision: Imagine yourself in five years. You can have what you want and need but first you must map out exactly what that looks like. Now commit that map to paper, writing for 15 minutes straight.

Dont worry about getting it right, Peterson said. Just get it down for 15 minutes.

For some, its easier to carry out the exercise by pretending youre caring for yourself the same way you would for a friend or child.

Peterson says American teenagers who participated in this Future Authoring program before they went to college saw incredible results. Grade point averages (GPA) were 35% higher and dropout rates plummeted to 50% lower than the national average. Having a goal in mind seemed crucial to unlocking how young Americans could visualize a future that includes a solid education.

Our school system was set up to produce mindless, obedient workers, Peterson went on. We havent updated our notion of what schools are for 140 years!

To shift from this expectation, Peterson recommends that Americans avoid working merely out of circumstance. Instead, set goals on your own terms. You can imagine that dream life with less effort than you think.

Daydream, like when you were a kid, he said. You want to bind that with a little intelligent rationality within the realm of possibility.

With a vision thats possible while still compelling, youll be well on your way to a life thats worth dreaming about but you probably already saw that in your vision of the future.
