I just articulated what I care about in 1 kewl sentence during a coffee chat:

Scaling transformative educational experiences that help people meaningfully acclimate to AI and technology

[Pav @pav_light]

@mr_samosaman @RonTuretzky u are an inspiration. I crave to do my claude sessions in the sun.

Whoa, I have empathy for people that can't express their emotions because I can't express the exact song that I actually feel like dancing to!!! fkn sucks!!!

[Pav @pav_light]

@callanable f. I just had the same realization for myself through a friendship. I was like, why am I feeling anxious with this specific one friend? Oh, it's because I want a much closer relationship than she wants!!!

wheee I feel way freer after realizing this

The way Claude insta came up with the right focuses for next week when it took me about 30 minutes and some emotional tug-of-warring on stuff I want to do but really don't have the bandwidth for....

[Pav @pav_light]

@madeitallback I can't believe that was only one minute

[Pav @pav_light]

@michaeltong_ I would be pretty interested in that.

[Pav @pav_light]

@basilYam With certain kinds of childhoods, you get this for free!! lol

@visakanv We don't write like this but we could. So articulate while dunking on intellectuals. Love it.

I think it's so funny that an elementary understanding of psychology gets you so much further with LLMs.

@RichDecibels @sahra_bn twitter is magical haha

unexpected use case for granola: can furiously catch up when I zone out

@Rusty_Swarf Automate when the process is boring, not when it is mysterious. Such a fire tweet.

Granola changes the game on coaching yourself instantly. Two examples from this week.

1) I hosted a podcast with someone at my company and got instant feedback on how I could have phrased my questions more concisely and sharply.

2) I'm lightly mentoring someone and I could feel myself get resentful at seeing them not really take advantage of the opportunity as much as I expected them to. So just was able to immediately plan my next conversation with her and start and feel clean about the situation myself.

Me painfully waving goodbye to basically every single one of my side exploits in favor of going all in on one thing

It took me 35 years to learn this: If you’re half-in, you’re actually all-out. Even 90% in gets you nowhere. There’s something magical in that last little bit. It's where you unlock new levels to the game. Simply because so few have the courage to do it.

[Pav @pav_light]

Learning to trust your mind is a skill you can keep building at. There's this fire book called The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem and the first pillar is: "The Practice of Living Consciously"

It's about your ability to meet reality as it is and trusting your ability to do so.

Neuroplasticity exists. If you don't like your life or career as an adult you can just learn new things. As long as you aren't an idiot and plan things long term, you can try your hand at pretty much anything that doesn't require the body of a teenager / early 20s athleticism.

[Pav @pav_light]

@Thomasdelvasto_ So freaking true. I was able to totally drop a background level of anxiety by going cold turkey like two weeks ago.

[Pav @pav_light]

Sometimes when I tune into my experience, I notice rando sensory associations. ie this sentence fragment, or whatever it represents, feels sharp or soft in some way.

I realize that these aid me when I solve problems. Richer vocabulary around this would be dope
