I built PromptToolbox to collect prompts in a table that help guide ChatGPT conversations. I’ve included a list of prompts that can be used to customize conversations for different scenarios. Users can also add their own prompts to the table. This tool is intended to make it easier to create conversations with ChatGPT by providing a way to quickly find and customize the right prompt. I'm open to feedback and suggestions on how to improve it.

These pings annoy me, night and day, Incessant asks without delay, And lines to code to earn my pay... And lines to code to earn my pay.

If I gave this much thought to my weekly poker game, I might fare better.

Seems like, in aggregate, the question is whether adding variance to outcomes is net positive or negative?

Some students will receive multiple consecutive years of excellent instruction, others will receive multiple consecutive years of subpar instruction. Does the upside contain innovation and social mobility? Does the downside contain increased disillusionment with school and education broadly?

We pull the goalie when the odds are against us and increased variance is desirable. Is this such a case? Sadly, it may be.

Why does this simply threaten artists? At what point is code a type of creative expression? When are the IDEA for a novel technology and the chops to implement equally viable applications of AI?

Artists are losing today, but why are they in any way more vulnerable? They just seem to be next on the chopping block.

Can someone rewire my brain to be hyper-efficient when clicking through articles on HN and dreadfully-inefficient if my mind wanders to fantasy sports?

I suppose, if the definition of "weird" is loosely-related to "low probability of truth" or "wildly deviant from existing orthodoxy," the highest-upside ideas would seem to be "weird."

In that vein, the question is how many "weird" ideas can your portfolio of time and money afford at any point?
