Until you know why you are on this planet, say yes to as many things as possible. If it's not gonna kill you and it's not addictive, you should say yes." - Peter Swain "AI is more impactful than if aliens landed tomorrow. This is a new form of intelligence that doesn't need to sleep, eat, rest, or have water." - Peter Swain "An instruction to AI should be around a thousand words. Anything less, you're probably gonna get something that looks great, but is secretly terrible." - Peter Swain "Nobody is self-made. We are all built on the shoulders of great men and women. That doesn't make your achievements any less. It just allows you to honor what's happened." - Peter Swain CONNECT WITH PETER SWAIN \ud83c\udf10 Website: peterswain.com \ud83c\udfaf Free Mastermind Trial: peterswain.com\/mastermind \ud83d\udcf1 All Socials: peterswain247 \ud83d\udcbc LinkedIn: linkedin.com\/in\/peterswain247 \ud83d\udcd8 Facebook: facebook.com\/peterswainpersonal   Thanks for tuning in!
