@0xTyomych @meta_alchemist Think of it like identifying more efficient ways to reach the same goal. You're going from your door to the mailbox, you could roll there sideways, but it'd be easier to walk. As software grow it's often the case that things get overcomplicated. (I've not tried the skill yet)

@MatoPodhorsky @THArrowOfApollo Concept created by Geoffrey Huntley where you have the AI agent run in an iterative loop improving upon itself, and the human is "on the loop" instead of in it, tuning the input prompt to steer the agent away from mistakes

@jonsson_henrik 100%. Dock är det situationen vi befinner oss i just nu. Jag lanserade en tjänst, https://t.co/Mye5TiPNqb, i ett försök att hjälpa individen i detta. Jag skulle gärna ta emot din feedback och dina tankar om du har möjlighet

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

Elpriset når nya toppar, men tyvärr ser det inte ut som att volatiliteten kommer minska, snarare tvärt om. Vi har tagit fram https://t.co/Mye5TiPfAD i ett försök att hjälpa individen med att få mer information, en prognos över veckans priser istället för bara dygnets #elpris

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

@realsmartcard Riktigt sjukt. Vi har tagit fram https://t.co/Mye5TiPNqb som ett försök att hjälpa folk i detta, det ger en prisprognos för hela veckan istället för bara nästa dygn. Tragiskt att det behövs

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

Situationen är riktigt dålig. Vi har skapat https://t.co/Mye5TiPNqb i ett försök att hjälpa individen med mer information, opartisk från alla elleverantörer.

AI seems to become very usable, and very fast at that (given that the videos in this thread actually are accurate representations of the UX)

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

- Robert Collier

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

Finding a purpose and anchoring the daily activities in a bigger context is so important, both for motivation and for quality.

Without it nothing seems to hold value, because we won't know from which perspective to evaluate it's worth

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

Be productive. Then fully decompress.

Giving yourself time where the goal is to decompress, lower stress levels, let go etc. isn't lazy. It's an investment to perform better with your productive tasks, and learn faster and more about your obsession area. The key to longevity.

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

In 2017 I got exhaustion syndrome. When I say you want to avoid it, trust me🧵

Avoiding mental health issues, especially for performance driven indiviuals (like myself), mainly comes down to making our health, mental and physical capacity part of the productivity equation

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

The other day Jodie Cook (@jodie_cook) introduced me to the useful framework of:
- Profession
- Obsession
- Decompression

Everything you do should fit into these three buckets, and you should avoid overlaps. I.e. don't finish that last small work task whilst watching tv at night

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

This was the video I referrenced in my previous post. Words and communications really are the means to the end. Pointers to the value creation. Just as features and products.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The greatest skill of the 21st century is the one that has been around since Adam & Eve.

It comes before any other skill people tell you to learn.

It enhances your writing, speaking, designs... everything.

The product holds no inherent value, it is solely valued by the experience it provides in the hands of the user. Initial problem state -> solved state. How much that gap/transition is worth is based on the users emotional response to it, i.e. the UX.

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

Dan Koe (@thedankoe) made a point in one of his latest videos that words are just pointers to a meaning, value or emotion. That concept can be extrapolated to how I've been describing product features to only be means to provide and create a user experience.

The announcement comes with additional huge news for developers:

- New Assistants API for Code Interpreter and Retrieva
- GPT-4 Turbo updated knowledge cutoff to April 2023
- New GPT-4 Turbo Vision API
- New Dall-E 3 API
- New text-to-speech API (6 preset voices to choose from & insanely realistic voice)
- A new Whisper V3 model coming soon
- Slashed rate limits (cheaper development costs)

Prepare for a whole new wave of AI tools.

When your solution/offer provides a customer experience that can't be had anywhere else, then you can set your price to whatever you see fit. In many cases, putting a premium price on the product *adds* to the premium experience of being a client/customer/user

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

As indicated the other day; Making sure you have a unique offer built around your clients needs is also great when it comes to sales. If you have an offer that is generic and easily comparable to your competition, then pricing becomes a deciding factor. However ...

[ERIC BLOMQUIST @ericblomq]

- Know your customer.
- Build your products, services and offer to embody the user experience they're looking for.
- Evaluate based on their perception, not internal KPIs

No one can out price you if you're the one owning the customers preferred experience. 🍎 != 🍐
