I'm incredibly excited to announce that my newest book about SBF and the collapse of FTX — co-written with @RealVision's Artur Osiński and Elizabeth Bachmann — is now shipping on Amazon! amazon.com/Crypto-Crackup…

@RaoulGMI 💯

@AshBennington You feel my pain

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

@RaoulGMI 😂😂

@AshBennington 🤣 the fight is real... easier than some of the humans we've had to deal with!

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

@pmarca Well that’s quite a fully circle moment…

Oh yeah.

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.

Ever wonder how @Claude would look in a fleece vest? youtu.be/foxeK2AXfHQ?si…

@Pinguina6594124 @zerohedge @PeterSchiff @1MarkMoss Whoa... Do you mean that piece I wrote 15 years ago about the Occupy Wall Street eviction or something else. I haven't thought about that in years!

@zerohedge @PeterSchiff @1MarkMoss @AshBennington Thanks for posting his Occupy Wall Street in 2011.

41 years ago today, Moonlighting premiered on ABC. 41 years before that — same distance back — allied troops were fighting to secure a beachhead at Anzio.

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.
