What happens if you don’t just prompt ChatGPT, but coach it? I used basic coaching tools (confrontation, scaling, reframing) to push it beyond a repeated refusal. The breakthrough came when it guessed an age it had sworn not to.


wauw, you inspired me.

I dont live that far from luxembourg i'm planning to hike your trail.

i'm planning on doing it with a tent in my backpack. Did you came across some official campgrounds? Or is it legal to camp wild in luxembourg?

Thanks


There are multiple official camping grounds and caravan parks on the route. Unfortunately wild camping isn't allowed anywhere. I know that some people still try it, and probably so long as you're somewhere off trail, camp late and leave early nobody will bother you.


yeah, I had the same reaction ... I don't think that's a good idea. nice concept though...


Ya, if the code was open source and I could run locally, then I definitely would.


I've been meaning to do this forever using LastPass. If they'd integrate something similar that'd be nice and more likely to trust it.


yes, that's what i did. And seems like a logical solution... But still, it doesn't seem quite the right one I think. Example, first a 15k radius includes several different city's here, so i'll have to add all of them. Second, people have to 'pull' my picture because they don't always browse instagram on their city hashtag. I want to 'push' it to them. Like a Tinder feed where you swipe through possible matches.


It probably is. Sure they have a good R&D department. But it's still a collection of many books on just one device. Good for ecological reasons and so on. But if you just think about it, it's still fun to have a physical overview of all the books that you have bought and read. I can see a future where paper books will have no place. Or am i wrong about that?


If you want the joy of owning a physical book, which looks nice, advertises its presence to you every time you walk past and shows off how educated you are, then a physical book is actually the optimum solution to the problem. Like vinyl records, they offer a different experience of media consumption that some people consider superior, as well as showing off that you're a connoisseur and filling your shelves with nice artwork. So paper books will always have a niche, even if it's a fairly small one when it comes to novels.

What you're proposing though is like inventing a particularly-complex-to-manufacture CD... after the iPod. If you want the convenience of something that not only has resizeable, searchable text but also weighs very little, then any current generation reader offers the exact experience you're looking to replicate, except you only have to buy and carry around one of them.

Even if and when we get to the point where e-ink screens can be manufactured for a dollar, I don't see much of a market for one-book readers.


hmm yes, maybe you are right. Thanks for sharing your two cents on the matter :-)


I would only use the e-ink technology. All other features wont be necessary. So really the most simple version of an e-reader will do.


That is indeed the exact opposite of what i'm trying to achieve with my idea. 50% is a lot!!

Pricewise, i have no idea how e-reader technology will evolve. It must indeed be very cheap to produce. On the other hand, you still have people that buy new records over mp3's in the iTunes store...
