Beautiful icons
The reason why I give ChatGPT a home on my iPhone and iPad is because the ChatGPT icon is actually very beautiful! My critique is all these icons for other apps are so ugly. For example, I really really really hate the way that the Google calendar app looks, as well as the Gmail app, as well as Google Chrome. I think Safari icons are beautiful!
Also, this is perhaps the motivation and impetus towards Apple and Apple products, iPhone iPad etc.… Just for the icons!
I think people are a little bit foolish in not thinking and considering how important and critical it is to have beautiful icons. I think 99% of the effort should be on designing the icon and logo, and everything else should be an afterthought.
For example, Tesla. I am so insanely inspired by Tesla, whoever designed the original Tesla logo did an insanely great job. Why? Even now it’s still looks beautiful!
I recently went to the Petersen automotive museum with Seneca, and one of the great things that I noted was on the original Tesla roadster, the one which was essentially a redesigned Lotus, they still had the same Tesla logo! Also, I think truly great companies design and make a logo that is insanely beautiful.
One thing I also find very inspirational about KIA is their new logo and emblem; I think it looks super super cool, very futuristic. I suggestion is that genesis needs to rebrand their Hyundai logo, and also they need a new logo for Hyundai genesis as a brand.
How to become more hype?
A simple thought I have in terms of becoming more hype, is very very simple: try to walk 50 miles a day. I call this the bear lifestyle.
This totally may be false, but apparently bears walk 50 miles a day! Whether this is an exaggeration or not, I think it is an interesting high framing point; that is, if we set the bar very very high, then we could meet it a little bit in the middle.
For example another thing I have observed is the days where I walk a lot, let’s say 20,000 steps a day, my mood health and productivity is insanely high! And isn’t that the point of life… to become more productive?
“The point and purpose of life isn’t productivity!” Said all unproductive people.

Build up your own neighborhood!
It seems that a good idea is to build up and market your own neighborhood, instead of just trying to trying to ride the coat tails of something which is already established and popular and successful and famous.
