one of investor Charlie Munger’s most famous adages: “Never, ever, think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.”

The first thing you’ll want to do is have ChatGPT break down the psychology of the players in the situation.

In my experience, if you provide ChatGPT with a detailed set of observations about a person in your life, even if they aren’t famous, it will come up with a psychological profile that feels  accurate.

in my experience, it’s actually quite good at analyzing situations by breaking down the motivations of key players and applying heuristics to help you unravel them. This is because GPT-4 has human-level theory of mind—the ability to ascribe mental states to people—and it knows about all of the heuristics and mental models you might need in order to make good decisions.
