Sometimes you need to let your LLM know who is in charge. (For now at least...)

It’s almost impossible to imagine how weird the world is about to get…

Anyone else experimenting with the idea of prompt engineering customized to the weird tics of human irrationality? When asking LLMs to help plan the implementation of anything, the model is at least as dependent on the person ultimately executing the plan as on the plan itself…

New prompt I just wrote... Seems fairly high impact: #The Evolution Module Prompt ## Why Humans aren't Vulcans. Our brains evolved over hundreds of thousands of years for survival in small bands — not for executing logical to-do lists. Willpower, direct instruction, and rational argument routinely fail because they push against deeply wired drives. We need to be finessed, not commanded — even by ourselves. ## The Prompt Given how human brains actually work — shaped by evolution, not by Star Trek — what should I do to execute this? Translate the plan into concrete tactics that work with our evolved psychology, not against it.

Ed. Note: Strap notches, which are intended for women’s skirts, camisoles, and tank tops, are perfect for keeping fleece vest from falling on the floor.

Helpful graphic from The Times for those struggling to visualize the implications of the UAE leaving OPEC.

I'm not smart enough to fix this without AI — which is super weird. Unplug good keyboard. Stupidly plug in bad keyboard. Realize your mistake... Then plug in good keyboard again... Only to realize 'good keyboard' is bricked. The explanation is wild.
