I'm better than anyone else who does what I do. Say this. Every day, morning and night. Believe it in your bones, and you'll move Heaven and Earth to make it true.

Me: I'm stuck for writing ideas. Help me, please. AI: OK, what's something you've thought about writing but dismissed, and why?.Me: Good question. Let me look in my idea vault for something that I didn't finish. AI: Hold up. Idea vault? Are you serious?. Derp-a-derp. 🤦‍♂️.

. which made me cocky, and I had an impromptu spotter on my last set. 🤪.

When you miscalculate the weight plates and accidentally realize you can safely bench a lot more than you realized. 😬😅.

I have gotten hyper sensitive to parallelisms. The instant I start to write, "It's not about. " I immediately delete it and rethink how to convey the idea. What's worse: people discounting you because AI writes for you, or having your writing ignored because it smells like AI?.

Of course I take that output and turn it into a survey that I hand to real people to get even better results, but to be able to craft a far more useful starting point is *huge*.

AI may write for shit, but the fact that I can say:. "I have this business idea. Go look for the market viability and pain points for me.". and have a comprehensive report, with references, in a few minutes is *staggeringly* useful.

It's not about whether AI wrote your comment, it's about whether everyone can tell that it definitely did.

Do you let past pain blind you to your strengths?. I've wanted to teach a course for ages. My coach almost lost his shit when he asked me more specific questions about my computer programming experience. "You've been undervaluing your expertise by about 10x.". Pivot incoming.

RT @ID_AA_Carmack: I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

AI Revolution: Equip Your AI Omni-Tool

Most people use AI like they're yelling at a drive-through speaker:. GROG NEED SPREADSHEET!. Make AI your thinking partner instead of a hallucinogenic search engine. New write-up: How to speak AI's language. Link in thread, because algo.

I learned to touch type—on a typewriter—in 1988. We learned to use Caps Lock for acronyms and other capitalized words. Now, Caps Lock often takes a long split second to activate, leaving me tying things like, "html ISN't code." Some keyboards don't even have it. Little things.

The temptation to complain and to throw up my hands gets strong, sometimes. It pays—figuratively and literally—to be grateful for what I have and for the work in front of me. Life is the continual struggle against entropy to return our consciousness to stardust. It's beautiful.

For months, @grok was my go-to for almost all answers. Ask question, receive concise curated response. Win. Now?. Grok includes a treatise on every conceivable facet of all subjects tangentially related to the question. I don't want to get wordier to beg Grok to be direct.

I didn't know about "Guided Access" for iPads. With in enabled (Settings => Accessibility => Guided Access), you can make a single app—Spotify, in my case—available to others without giving them access to the rest of the iPad. It's a triple tap of the lock button (or home key).

Water heater springs a major leak two days before I leave for a week. Cold shower before I go, cold shower when I get back. Prioritize.
