What if you could chat with Donald Trump? 👀
Ask questions to AI clones of 2024 Presidential candidates
⚡️ A QUICK NOTE ABOUT OUR FEATURED SPONSOR ⚡️
Thanks to this edition’s featured sponsor: Chat2024
Introducing Chat2024, a radical new AI tool powered by Delphi's cloning tech.
Chat2024 creates realistic simulations of the 2024 presidential candidates' minds.
Sounds wild, yes?
It gives every voter unprecedented access to the future president where they can chat with them 1-1 and discover what each truly thinks.
You can use the “Ask” feature to ask a question or mention a topic (like Gun Control) to compare and contrast the opinions of different candidates.
And oh btw, Delphi has strict guardrails against hallucinations. Misinformation will only be more of a problem with the advent of AI, so Chat2024 aims to be a trusted source for voter education.
Candidates can claim their clones to better understand voter preferences and what their constituents actually care about.
I recently got a chance to chat with Dara Ladjevardian (CEO) and was instantly impressed by Delphi's vision. Delphi also recently announced their $2.7M seed round with an all-star investor list including Founders Fund, Lux Capital, Balaji Srinivasan and more.
A few hours ago, I hunted Chat2024 on Product Hunt and it is rising up the ranks.
Would LOVE to get your support, ideas and suggestions on the Product Hunt page. Check it out here.
Today’s essay:
Be action-obsessed, not outcome-obsessed.
Most people obsess over outcomes and results they want to get.
They want immediate success within weeks of working out, or launch a podcast/business, or posting on social media. They fail to understand that those who achieve extraordinary results are more invested in the journey than the outcome itself. They are committed to taking daily action & they trust in the process.
Take Steph Curry as an example; he doesn't concentrate solely on his scorecard or end-of-season stats. Instead, he finds joy and flow within every game which allows him to make astounding shots and surpass scoreboard expectations.

To excel in your field, you should focus on becoming prolific at doing what you love rather than seeking rewards or recognition immediately. It's crucial to choose a field where you're passionate about your work and feel like it's your calling; even though some parts may be less enjoyable than others.
Think of it like planting seeds as a farmer does - keep sowing consistently without expecting immediate growth each day. Your intrinsic success metric should be tied to whether you've planted seeds for the future aka taking committed daily actions instead of achieving specific outcomes instantly.
While society solely cares about external wins, you have to care about the journey to get there.
Be someone who commits to action without tying your self-worth with outcomes or immediate results - these are bonuses but shouldn't be your main focus.
I’ll end this one of my favorite quotes from Bhagavad Gita on this topic.
“ Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani”
The meaning of the verse is—
“You have the right to work only but never to its fruits.
Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.
