If you’re not talking to your computer, you are behind. Verbal stream of consciousness is by far one of the most comprehensive forms of expression to provide full context to LLMs.
One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anything goes, full stream of consciousness. Sometimes I declare it up top, something like "switching to speech recognition sorry for any typos...". Sometimes I turn it into a small interview of a few turns. But I find that the LLMs are somehow very good at reconstructing long incoherent rambles and often their echo of your own tangle of thoughts comes out quite a bit cleaner than what you started with. The result is that you improve the mind meld and have to correct things less from that point on.

Today we're announcing a huge partnership with @unity to bring AI Companion games and experiences to the masses: forbes.com/sites/charliefink… AI Personas are the next interface… and soon, gen alpha and gen z are going to have more AI friends than real life friends. But AI friends need to feel like real life friends. Visual, interactive, emotional, alive. Real friends aren't chat boxes. You build trust and relationships with someone you can see, touch….and PLAY alongside. You don't just talk to your friends. You play basketball with them, you go get ice cream together, you go on fishing trips. You DO stuff together. While we've invested heavily into making sure that AI personas can behaviorally and visually come to life when you're talking, we also wanted to make sure that you can DO things with your AI companions too. That's why we're so excited to announce our partnership and integration with Unity, the leading platform for game creation with the biggest game developer community in the world. Developers of Unity will be able to leverage our technology (directly from Unity Editor) to explore and create games and experiences for your AI companions. P.S. Shortly afterwards, we are also going to be announcing a slate of epic IP partners who have come on board to create their AI Companions and game experiences (Parties) with Genies 🙂

Family meetings every Sunday. Sit down with your s/o over coffee, breakfast, or fuck it while you’re driving somewhere and talk about 3 important topics that have been holding you back as a couple or as individuals. Do this once and you’ll thank me later. Make a habit out of it and you’ll be unstoppable.

Only travel on Sundays. The work week is for being in rhythm, Saturday mornings are for solo work, and Saturday afternoons are for “dumb-days” coined by @akashrnigam. Sundays are for turning the ship around and getting ready for war. It’s the perfect day for being on a plane and getting focused work done.

My partner and I are really bad about texting while driving, so we’ve added a dumb tax. $100 to the other every time we’re caught owed immediately via Venmo. So far neither of us have lost, who do you think will break first?

I’ve been paying close attention to words those around me use. Negative language is the first indicator I’ll stop reaching out to spend time together moving forward. Positive “can-do” or “opportunity” language is the base-line. Friends and family are all measured against this. Protect your circle.

Till next time.. 🧵 During one of our early releases, Akash turned to me and said “Take more pictures, it’ll be over before you know it.” Even before we were 6 kids above a taco shop...
