How do I get my friends to think I have the best impulse control in our friend group?
The short answer is that there are many things you can do to appear as if you have better impulse control than your peers. You could, for instance, make it seem like you have a great deal of self-control by not engaging in the very discussion about whether or not one has control over their impulses.
This is, of course, a rather silly thing to do. But people are often convinced by such things. You could also convince your friends that you have better self-control than they do by not having the discussion at all.
There is a certain amount of subjectivity to the question; it depends on how you define 'impulse control'.
Even if you assume that 'impulse control' means the same thing to everyone, there are still many ways in which your friends could be convinced that you have more self-control than they do.
You could, for example, tell them that you have better self-control than they do. You could also make it seem like you have better impulse control by not responding to this comment.
The latter approach is more difficult than the former, but it might be more effective. If you simply tell your friends that you have better self-control than they do, then they may decide to test this theory in a way that would not work out well for you.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.
This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize Llama 3.1 405b, a neural network trained by Meta.
Llama is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.
Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.
Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
