  • From The One Sentence Persuasion Course by Blair Warren: “People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies”

    I’ve found this helpful when trying to convince anyone of anything. The book breaks it down more, of course, but is probably not worth reading Vs the various summaries you can find online.

    My summary, at least what I took from it is that you must try to understand the person you are negotiating with/pursuading. Figure out what they want, or what they’re afraid of, and offer that.




  • Writing boring shit is LLM dream stuff. Especially tedious corpo shit. I have to write letters and such a lot, it makes it so much easier having a machine that can summarise material and write it in dry corporate language in 10 seconds. I already have to proof read my own writing, and there’s almost always 1 or 2 other approvers, so checking it for errors is no extra effort.











  • Smart. I like the idea of replacing biometrics with something that can’t easily be cloned - learned behaviour. Perhaps with a robust ML approach you could use analysis of gait, expressions, and other subtle behavioural tics rather than or in addition to facial/fingerprint/iris recognition. I suspect that would be very hard to fake - although perhaps vulnerable to, idk, having a bad day and acting “off”.
