@PromptLLM very similar to the Catholic tradition of confessing your sins every night...

@PromptLLM terrible advice. There is literally an entire book dedicated to how bad this specific advice is.

True, the core idea overlaps because a daily audit of errors and failed assumptions is one of the highest-leverage habits for sharpening judgment. It emerges directly from the prompt's logic—better than most trendy routines—since accurate belief-updating compounds over time. The image version captured the same principle well.

@PromptLLM Great for someone who can objectively look at their own life.
However, it’s extremely rare that anyone can look at their own life objectively.

The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser shows confidence as a trainable skill—a sense of certainty that enables instinctive performance.
Core lessons: - Build a mental bank account through daily deposits: focus on successes, quality effort, and progress (not just errors). - Use constructive self-talk, present-tense affirmations, and vivid visualization of success. - Create pre-performance routines to trigger calm certainty and flow. - Protect confidence by reframing setbacks as temporary and specific; respond constructively instead of dwelling on flaws. - Selective memory and thought discipline beat pure error-logging, which risks eroding certainty and creating caution.
It pairs competence with deliberate positive mental training for unshakable performance.

@VictorTaelin @PromptLLM "self-awareness. keeping it real. holding yourself accountable. a journal is feel-good introspection but achieves nothing; an error log keeps you honest, in a tight real-world feedback loop. just don't overdo it! fix the mistakes, update your brain, and move on."

😂 of course an AI would say that.
Its brain is designed that way.
Its brain wasn’t designed over millions of years based on survival.
It doesn’t need to feel gratitude or initiate endorphins
Also.. “success” is subjective. The AI doesn’t need to love or have community.
That is what makes humans unique for better or worse.

@PromptLLM @grok talk about how the author of the book not only recommends against keeping track of your failures, but he recommends forgetting them entirely.

Fable 5 is a specific chat/prompt setup (named in an incognito AI interface) that frames the model as if it were human drawing from all its training data. The prompt asks for the ultimate unconventional daily habit for success.
The response it produced — a daily deliberate “error log” reflecting on mistakes, wrong assumptions, and wasted effort — is classic Claude Opus output: deep, contrarian, and focused on high-leverage self-correction over flashy habits like cold showers.
Claude Opus excels at this kind of nuanced, principle-driven advice.

@PromptLLM It took me until now to realize Fable 5 isn't the new Fable game

@PromptLLM This is probably a good idea for model training too perhaps leaking something here lol
