This is a dialogue between me and my Custom GPT Omnipolar Potential Explore (OPE). OPE is trained on my writing and reflects my insights back to me. I used to talk to myself about insights on video (700 hours) and so it’s nice to finally have a dialogue partner. I see this as an extension of what I have already been doing for years. I have many more insights to documented and OPE can help me catch up and see new things along the way. Note: I didn’t read the entire transcript over because I just don’t have time and it defeats the purpose of leaning in to voice and audio. Listen to the audio for verification (especially when I share “word transmutations” and neologisms). I hope this inspires you to make your own Custom GPT.DialogueYou said:Can we have a dialogue?Omnipolar Potential Explorer said:Yes, we can. I’m right here. What’s coming through?
