Brutally Honest Prompts

Most people use ChatGPT wrong. Without the right guidance or prompting . ChatGPT will validate anything you say. It's designed to be agreeable, not truthful. It will praise your bad ideas. It will overlook critical flaws. It will miss market opportunities. And you'll never know until it's too late. You need brutal honesty, not false validation. It won't challenge your beliefs, question your decisions, or call out your blind spots. Unless you force it to. So, That's why I built a system to fix that. It's a set of prompts designed to override the default behavior and turn ChatGPT into what you…

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
