First takeaway, every day, think about the quality of your peer group. It could be the five people you spend the most time with, the people you're connected to on WhatsApp, apart from family, but just who are you talking to? Who are you bouncing ideas off? And the interest and quality and diversity of those people, try to have that improve all the time, as much as you can.

Second takeaway, think about mentors. I don't care how young or old you are. You always need mentors. You can never have enough mentors. A single remark from one mentor can change your whole life, put you on a better track, help you self-improve. Just always be thinking, how can I be getting more and better mentors?

You can be 60 years old and have a great mentor who's 23, and that can be worthwhile. So think broadly about mentoring. And then third, this is the most abstract, but I would just say context always matters.

But if you're just always involved and curious, to refer back to that point, when the time comes to make decisions, you'll just have more sources of insight you can draw upon. So I would say always worry about the context.

Thank you very much, Lynn.

DeepSeek is online. It is free. It is a very fast model. I would say it's the most fun model to speak with. It is more arbitrary and subjective and personality-rich than the other AI models. It's also open source, which means anyone can copy it. So there's no way of stopping it from spreading, even if you shut down that original website somehow.

No, I was using it before the R1 update came out. But I'm in a lot of chat groups. And if there's something new in the world of AI, odds are I'm going to hear about it. So I was just playing around with it. And it was so much fun. I kept on going.
