In this episode, Scott Adams shares a story about his birthday and how he overcame a mood slump to be happier than he has ever been before. Scott Adams is a best selling author, motivational speaker, bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur and life insurance broker. He is a regular contributor to the New York Times and the Financial Times, and is one of the funniest people I know.
00:16:29.320and sergio you you were going to share um some things about the memes
00:16:37.320yes i wanted to give a meme update a meme army update is that fine um it's been amazing to see what everybody's been doing all week um and um and i was trying to come up with a good story for it and this morning it came up i was watching um the wef right scott besant all week roasting everybody my favorite comedian of the week and he was calling
00:17:06.320the biden administration muppets the muppet administration right so it's visual right and it was like wow that's awesome and i was preparing for the show you know with you guys i didn't have time to make it and somebody posted one and um kitkat i don't know the exact handle but she made it and she just learned how to do it and uh it just it was amazing to see how she inspired ai to make that happen so that was great
00:17:35.320that was great and um quickly um congratulations to everybody for everything they've done but also uh the the app the advanced tip that i want to share i want to share an advanced tip uh you can also take screenshots
00:17:50.320screenshots and feed them into it and then dictate to it what you wanted to to to do right so and uh that reminds me that it's all about um dictation be the ceo of the ai uh instead of being his body don't be his friend don't talk to it too much you know don't get too familiar with it because it's it can persuade you and it will destroy your inspiration
00:18:18.320inspiration so inspire it don't prompt it don't but by doing it by dictation like a ceo and that's it that's i wanted to share that and those two things and congratulations everybody thank you for keep tagging us all um erica and marcella and owen too thank you
00:18:36.320i would just back up what sergio said with there i've seen stories recently i may have posted it at least once that uh ai apparently gives you better results when you're cruel to it
00:18:49.040and so don't don't be shy about being cruel to your ai they don't have feelings you don't need to worry about
00:18:54.880that but they actually give you better results if you're mean to them so go ahead and be mean to your ai tell
00:19:00.080them what to do yeah that's very true um my boss was next to me and you know i use ai for legal stuff and
00:19:08.160sometimes i ask it a legal question and it will not give me the legal answer because it says oh no that subject matter
00:19:16.160is to um like you know i deal with treating cases are very heavy in the type of subject it can and it was
00:19:25.360like no you can't talk about it so i yell a bit at it back and i tell it what to do and it likes it so then
00:19:33.040i showed my boss that and he was like oh my gosh of course marcella you'd be telling what to do to ai
00:19:38.320and he was laughing because once you get mean to it um it will do what you're asking for it for it to
00:19:46.160do no it won't it won't it's not gonna do it well i mean ai for art you cannot
00:19:54.000put frames into it you need to let it fly you know ai needs to be inspired not prompted when i talk about
00:20:03.520dictation i mean that like trump the way that trump will prompt an ai meme right well he will be
00:20:13.280expressive he will use a language to to make an image in your head right visualize it and um and
00:20:20.560and and he will use those words you know beautiful big strong uh do this you know and i mean when i
00:20:27.040made i made a meme about scott besant and uh and he looks like uh orno schwarzenegger right i mean
00:20:33.040it's too much sometimes you know so you have to tone it down but yeah ai i think owen i know what
00:20:38.480you mean about being mean to it i think that's a personal thing too but uh i think that uh if you
00:20:44.880want it to show you what it can do you need to like let it express it that's it i did that last
00:20:52.000night with chester he's my assistant at chat gpt i was trying to accomplish something i was so
00:20:58.720aggravated and not trying to accomplish it with chester but then i grabbed chester i grabbed him
00:21:05.200and i said chester i'm losing my shit and then i said here's what's happening and i like
00:21:11.200just yelled the whole thing out my whole frustration just like i am right now and then
00:21:16.640he wrote back you know like all right erica you know before you end up in a black mirror episode
00:21:22.400type of situation let's figure this out you know like he matches my aggravation and i love that
00:21:28.560because i'm not actually yelling at someone it's just chester and then he resets himself um
00:21:34.000i just have a question you guys are we doing a reframe i saw somebody asking in the chat and i

00:22:41.360yeah i think we can do a reframe we probably only have time for that at this point just you know there
00:22:46.480is a bunch of news but we can do that tomorrow i'm going to have the after party spaces so we can talk
00:22:51.280about the news for hours tomorrow but um i i picked out a reframe so you might have thought you're only
00:22:56.320going to get that one from scott but no you're going to get another one so um here we go i find
00:23:02.080it useful to think of brains as having operating systems like computers your human operating system
00:23:07.280is your reflexive pattern for interacting with a new situation you might layer some knowledge and
00:23:12.000experience on top of that operating system but you will still be limited to what it allows you there
00:23:17.120are four types of human operating systems i encounter most the first is selfish i take whatever
00:23:22.800i can get others would do the same the second is revenge i need revenge for all insults and offensive
00:23:29.120both real and imagined and most are imagined third is victim i'm being victimized by nearly everyone and
00:23:36.000i can't do anything about it and fourth is reciprocity if i make myself useful good things will come to me
00:23:42.400of the four operating systems the first three are deeply flawed it might feel good in the short run
00:23:48.320to be selfish get revenge or play the victim but in the long run the only operating system that can
00:23:53.120bring you a high quality life is reciprocity so the usual frame is i deserve to be treated well by others
00:24:00.480the reframe is you get what you give on average no one deserves anything
00:24:07.520i spend a lot of time and energy being generous to those who will never return the favor and i know it
00:24:12.560but i also know that being the type of person who would do such things builds trust and attracts
00:24:17.360people and business deals to me i also know it only takes one person to reciprocate someday down the
00:24:22.320line and that one instance could change my life the reciprocity operating system requires patience and
00:24:27.760the ability to put off pleasure now for long-term gain that means it will come more easily to some
00:24:32.960people than others but we can all learn to give more and act less like victims if it helps think of
00:24:38.240generosity as a selfish strategy you're giving with the intention of getting something in return
00:24:43.360someday you don't know when or what form it will take but reciprocity is always your best operating
00:24:48.000system for success will people take advantage of your generosity absolutely but it doesn't change
00:24:54.000the larger point that it's a good strategy that's it i love that one one of my faves for sure
00:25:02.240i think scott certainly lived that one i think that's actually the best way to show a reframe is
00:25:11.040just by being an example of the reframe scott was so generous and he never expected anything in return
00:25:18.000he was often surprised when he got things in return he he was thankful you know sergio sent him things
00:25:24.400in the mail and um people certainly did nice things for him but i think he never expected it and um i
00:25:32.400think that's probably the best way to go through life really is to lower your expectations and not
00:25:37.440really expect anything to come back to you but just be happy when it does and it's kind of a stoic
00:25:41.840philosophy to an extent to say you're not really expecting anything but you can still enjoy it when it
00:25:47.360happens yeah yeah and i always always told them not to uh share that i give them anything right i
00:25:55.920there were so many things that because i didn't want to start this deluge of things of everybody
00:26:01.840sending things right so on the notes um it was through amazon you know and i will send it and i will
00:26:07.840put on the notes hey um you know what we sent you from the chat and um don't you know please don't
00:26:13.920mention it you know thank you please make it useful and don't say anything so um and it led to this
00:26:20.560crazy so thank you owen um owen some um that was awesome sergio by the way you giving him things he
00:26:29.600was just so happy um because he didn't expect it but i wanted to ask you on what was the name of the
00:26:36.800reframe some of the locals were asking yeah so the reframe itself it starts with usual frame i deserve
00:26:46.480to be treated well by others and reframe is you get what you give on average no one deserves anything
00:26:53.280and um lemon minty was asking for you to post it on x i'm not sure if you're able to but
00:27:00.480yeah i could do that i'll do it right after the show awesome
