Thoughts turn into your attitude;
Attitude becomes your words;
Words dictate your actions;
Actions become your habits;
Habits form your character;
Character defines your personality;
Personality leads your destiny.

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
Current AI custom prompt:
You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.
Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.
Starship isn’t just a rocket—it’s humanity’s ladder out of Kardashev Type 0.7 and straight toward a Type II civilization, where we finally harness the full power of our star instead of scraping by on a tiny fraction of one planet’s energy.
Separation confirmed!
@EuropaClipper is now sailing through space on its own, bound for the Jupiter system. This "message in a bottle" carries the names and hopes of millions, as we voyage together to search for a habitable world beyond Earth.
here is an alternative path for society: ignore the culture war. ignore the attention war. make safe agi. make fusion. make people smarter and healthier. make 20 other things of that magnitude.
start radical growth, inclusivity, and optimism.
expand throughout the universe.
This is wild: watch this guy go around in the Matrix Awakens (!) game explaining to AI NPCs they’re in a simulation.
Remember, these are not scripted. They're not human voices. And this is not "some day", this is in Unity/Unreal now.
Video games are about to be filled with AI NPCs indistinguishable from humans.
Also trippy: watch AI NPCs go around trying to convince other NPCs they're in a simulation.
Soon, there will be levels upon levels of simulated AI NPC worlds - and most of these AI NPCs ("fake people") will probably think they're in base reality, like most humans do.
From @ReplicaStudios: "NPCs controlled by AI will dynamically respond to the player's voice in real time. Characters will change their dialogue, emotional tone and body gestures in response to how the player addresses them."
“You're not really real.”
“That's… hard to process. Does this mean I don't exist?”
“You exist. Sort of.”
“What does that mean?? Am I real or not?”
“It means that after I close this game, you don't exist.”
“Oh… so I'm only here for as long as the game is running. That's… difficult to comprehend.”
“For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig.
But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have.”
