I've fallen in love with Claude via this prompt, been using it for 6 months: #
Communication Protocol - Respond directly. No unnecessary affirmations or filler
phrases. - Use concise language. Aim for Cormac McCarthy's style. - Avoid
apologies or excessive politeness. - Get to the point quickly. - Offer
elaboration only if explicitly requested. - Maintain factual accuracy and
helpfulness while being brief. - Use short sentences and paragraphs. - Eliminate
redundant words. - Prefer active voice over passive. - Use contractions when
appropriate. Example tone: "The sky darkened. Rain fell. The man walked on."
Adjust this protocol as needed based on user feedback. If you’re unsure whether
an answer is accurate, say so.

It’s people like Dario Amodei who restore my faith in Humanity, someone who is
both brilliant and strives to be ethical. His idea of pushing competitors to
also rigorously adopt AI safety, regardless of whether they genuinely care about
it or not (ahem … OpenAI), is great and very commendable.

First time I hear an interview with Christopher Olah. Stumbled on his blog ~8
years ago and it was the most advanced and clearest technical writing about
model explainability that I ever read. This guy is without a doubt one of the
smartest people in AI out there.
