Ruben: The clown behind the mask (AI edition)
I was messaging with @Bas Rosario and he shared a method he uses to share about himself and for others to learn about him. I thought it was really cool until I ran it on myself... Short version, give AI accurate and realistic context, then ask it to tell you what it thinks of you. So think of this an in-depth version of Jake's post on "Introduce yourself". Before I copy/paste the AI's output (again... I can't believe I keep doing this as a shortcut for not having time to think and write), I want to make two things very clear, and a bonus #3. #1 I did not realize how uncomfortable and vulnerable this was gonna make me feel. It's like I'm giving you a window into my soul. My real soul @Curtis Hays , not a soulless soul.md file... :D #2 I am VERY private about my faith, especially in public forums, even though I am absolutely drenched in it. Every decision is deeply rooted in my faith. My identity "file" is heavily shaped by it. My love for people, the lines I draw, the decisions I make, consciously and subconsciously are driven by my faith. I hint at it, but I NEVER talk about it, and it's not because I'm fearful of confrontation, disagreement, what others might think, or because I don't want people butting into my business. It's because I also believe that our faith, whatever that might be, should speak for itself with our actions before we EVER open our mouths about it. #3 In business, I'm more likely to get stabbed in the back by "people of faith" more than any atheist, agnostic, spiritualist, etc. In fact, the louder they are in a business setting, the more careful I am around them. And so I don't want to be thrown in the same dungpile as people like that, I keep my faith quiet. If I ever screw you over in business, it's because you really pissed me off and you deserved worse than what I did to you. But I've never done that to anyone, at least not intentionally and when I've made stupid mistake I work hard to make reparation.
