We are setting our standards too low for these #NFT #metaverse/games. Most of them are over hype with little or nothing to show. NFT drops after NFT drops and still no game. We need to go back to the days where the game is created first then we invest in them.

A Stanford professor just gave a public lecture on exactly how GPT, Claude, and LLaMA are built under the hood no insider access required just the clearest breakdown of modern LLM architecture I've seen this lecture reveals the framework professors are paid up to $750K a year to teach the gap between "I use ChatGPT" and "I understand how it works" is smaller than most people think the most complete public breakdown of modern LLM architecture I've seen this year

Go deep on one thing long enough, and it becomes a doorway to everything else.

John D. Rockefeller literally shared the secret to winning any negotiation:

Richard Feynman said it right: “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent, and original manner possible.”

One day you are going to look back and realize the years moved a lot faster than you thought. And the thing that will bother you most probably will not be the times you failed. It will be the times you knew you wanted something and still talked yourself out of trying. Be smart. Manage risk. Protect your peace. But take some shots. You do not want to live so carefully that your only reward is having nothing interesting to remember.

Jung on The Unconscious

Evolve or Repeat

A reminder from Carl Jung:

“Where your fear is, there your task is.” — Carl Jung

A man usually does not fall apart in one big moment. It happens in the small choices nobody sees. Skipping the workout. Opening the app again. Choosing comfort. Avoiding the hard talk. Telling himself he’ll fix it tomorrow. That stuff adds up. Most men are not losing because life is too hard. They are losing because the easy thing keeps winning. Tell yourself the truth. Cut what weakens you. Build what sharpens you. Mission over mood. Truth over ego. Discipline over distraction.

If you can’t be happy without it, you won’t be happy with it. If you think something outside of you is the missing piece, you’re missing the point.

James Clear: The ability to bounce back quickly is a key skill in life.

In a study of people with generalized anxiety disorder, only 8.6% of recorded worries actually happened. The most common outcome: 0%. Not a single worry came true.

A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views. He died 5 months after recording it. It was his final gift to the world. Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years. The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom. And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered. How to speak. 15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever: Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end. Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious. The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else. Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough. Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS. Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one. Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing. Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously. Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity. Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by. End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said. Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands. Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order. The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves. Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill. Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing. Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind. You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible. Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs. He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this. Watch it tonight. Bookmark this first. Follow @cyrilXBT for more lessons from the people who built the future.

The longer you postpone building the life you actually want, the more likely you are to settle for a life you merely drifted into.
