Codex 5.5 hack:
"Are you 100% confident in this strategy? If not, find all possible loopholes, suggest proper fixes and run this loop until you are factually 100% confident in the new startegy"
This works like charm. It makes Codex 5.5 high perform even better than codex 5.5 extra high.
Why? Codex 5.5 is the only model i noticed that is self aware. It never makes high claims unless the model verifies everything.
This doesn't work with Opus 4.7 cuz that's a very insecure model. You can paste this prompt over and over again, the model keeps saying "you're absolutely right,....."
But with codex, after 2-3 iterations you'll notice yourself it actually patched all loopholes and this genuinely sounds like a good strategy.
Try this out, thanks me later.
When you drive fast you almost never have to check your mirror or surroundings or look over shoulder. Its slow drivers who have to cross check everything & look over constantly
Life is very much the same. Slow mfers are obsessed with what other people are doing. Competition is for losers. When youre going fast enough there is no traffic. You are the traffic.
The secret to becoming who you want to be is just pretending you already are.
As a neuroscientist, it's action that rewires the brain. not the other way around
Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. That’s for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
High cortisol causally increases the risk of obesity, insulin resistance, T2D, insomnia, depression, fatty liver, low thyroid hormone T3, high blood pressure. Here are some tips for keeping it under control. 🧵
You need to actively be making yourself uncomfortable.
Life is astonishingly boring. Even worse, its comfortable. All of your needs are met enough to keep you sedated but not enough to fulfill you.
It is neither a hard life nor a good life, it’s barely a life at all. Just consumption and spiritual tranquilization.
Do everything in your power to reject this.
One day….you'll realize you've already lived through some of the best days of your life, and you didn't even know it at the time.
You were too busy chasing what's next, busy worrying about what's missing, thinking happiness was something you'd arrive at one day, once everything finally made sense.
But while you were waiting, you were laughing with people who won't always be around. You were making memories in places you'll one day drive past and feel something you can't explain.
You were standing in moments that didn't feel like the good old days till they were gone. That's the thing no one tells you. You rarely recognize happiness when you're standing in it. It feels too ordinary, too small to matter, till it becomes a memory you'd give anything to experience again.
But right now, you're still in it. You still have the people, the moments, the chances, the ordinary days you'll one day call some of your favorite. So stop waiting for life to start. You're already living it.
