Hey guys, I'm curious to know how many of you are using tools like ChatGPT or Claude in your daily life to get small or even big tasks done?? Is it part of your processes, do you use it for research? Curious to hear your thoughts.

A lot of AI safety talk gets stuck in “it’s complicated.” It doesn’t have to be. If you’re building with AI (even if you’re not technical), you can reduce risk a lot with a few default habits—the same way we made cars safer with seatbelts, rules of the road, and inspections. 1) Who teaches this? Not “the government.” Not “experts on Twitter.” You + your builder + your tools. Think of it like “AI driver’s ed”: - 20% is mindset (responsibility) - 80% is checklist + routines (what to do every time) 2) How should it be taught? Not by fear. Not by theory. By simple checklists + examples. If you can follow a recipe, you can follow this. ✅ The Non-Tech Guardrails Checklist (print this) A) Secrets & passwords (most common failure) - Use two-factor authentication on everything - Don’t paste API keys into screenshots or chats - Store keys in a proper “secrets” place (your dev will know) - If something feels off: rotate keys (replace them) B) Updates (the boring part that saves you) - If your app is public: ask your dev:“Do we patch security updates weekly?” - If you don’t have a dev: use managed platforms that update for you. C) Logs (so you can see trouble early) Ask: “Do we have logs turned on?” If the answer is “not really,” you’re flying blind. D) Ownership (someone must be responsible) For every AI feature ask: - “Who owns this if it breaks?” - “Who gets alerted?” - “What’s the rollback plan?” E) Kill-switch (simple off button) Every AI feature needs a way to pause it: - “Can we turn it off in 1 minute if needed?” 3) How do we “pressure” the world to do better? You don’t need to lobby governments to make progress. The fastest levers are: - Customer expectations (“we only buy tools with safety basics”) - Platform defaults (secure-by-default settings) - Procurement rules (“no guardrails = no contract”) - Community standards (we normalize checklists) Bottom line Cheerleaders can cheer. Builders can build.

Hi, I'm 74 years old, and even the language that is used on how to utilize this stuff leaves me bewildered.. genuinely did not expect to live after I lost my husband. I had a terrible accident and many illnesses that piled onto my immobility and depression; I didn't pay much attention to learning about computers beyond writing and YouTube. I never thought I'd ever need to learn the tech stuff. Well, 17 years later, I am still in this beautiful world; my health has greatly improved since my heart surgery, and I have decided I may as well start living again, but it is plenty scary! Any suggestions for someone who is not yet bilingual in tech?

I’ve noticed the top 1% all do 1 thing differently with AI… They don’t use AI for answers. They use it to find Questions. I’ll show you how to transform ChatGPT from a perpetual glazer who gives you generic feel-good advice into a strategic AI Sparring Partner that truly challenges and sharpens your thinking. # Step 1. Build Your AI Second Brain First, start a new chat in ChatGPT. Use this prompt and spend 30-45 minutes answering deeply. Be honest about your weaknesses. Share your data. Share what you really think. This builds the context right in your chat: PROMPT 1: "I want you to understand ME. I’m a [Role] at [Your Business]. Ask me every question you need to truly understand my business, goals, customers, and challenges." # Step 2. Activate Your AI Sparring Partner In the SAME chat, use this prompt: PROMPT 2: "Based on everything you know about me, become my AI Sparring Partner. When I present an idea, your first response should include 3-5 questions I haven’t thought about, counterarguments, blind spots, or risks." # Step 3 Go ahead and type any idea :)
