i can see this getting deeply existential real fast…
Day 10 out of 100 wearing A.I. glasses designed to help you find happiness. The first 10 days were WILD. My A.I. was stuck on a loop, telling me to exercise every single day until my body was a shadow of its former self. And the reason behind it was pretty revealing! If you’re new here, here's quick recap: I’m spending 100 days wearing custom A.I. glasses designed to help me find happiness. I took the open-source Frame Glasses by Brilliant Labs & created an A.I. that knows everything about my life. It records my actions through an integrated camera, extrapolates my habits over time & uses its knowledge of my life to give me daily orders designed to maximize long term happiness. It's basically a personal A.I. overlord designed to make me happy. Which brings us to the first 10 days! This exercise order loop was the closest thing I’ve experienced to living hell. I’ve always avoided exercise my entire life, so being commanded to do things like "100 push ups" is something I was NOT ready for. How do you do 100 push ups when you can’t even do 1? The answer is that you take your time. I worked through my orders one by one (sometimes taking hours to do what some people can do in 15 minutes) and I got them done however I could. (Except one telling me to do 100 pull ups. No amount of breaks could get me to go through that one). And 2 weeks in, I feel so much better! My mood has improved tangibly and the amount of new energy I have is insane. I’ve even been having a hard time sleeping because of it. I always knew this could happen, but experiencing it for the first time is pretty awesome. At the end of the day, the best way to start any happiness journey is by taking better care of yourself. So make sure you're doing that too :) I sure am because of my silly little robot. But answering that mystery: why was it telling me to exercise over and over again? The answer is that it was 100% a flaw in my A.I.'s design. Because I spend most of my time indoors, almost all of the POV photos my A.I. has show me working from home. So naturally, every day it reaches the natural conclusion that the best thing I could possibly do to maximize happiness is go outside and exercise - which isn’t WRONG per se, but would make for a pretty boring 100 day series. However, the fact all the orders in days 1-10 were focused around exercise made telling this story a lot easier! So from now on I'll be doing weekly themes! I’m changing the prompting of my A.I. so it picks a unique theme every week and all the orders must surround that subject. Also, themes cannot be repeated! This should stop the A.I. from being stuck in a loop telling me to exercise until the end of time.
