Gowry

uhm, another one not on my bingo 2026 card. interesting approach. let the ai agent apply.

I did not had this on my 2026 bingo card tbh. Monsanto and Bayer might have challenges, too?

this hit close to home. my wife has been on a similar journey. years, dozens of specialists. the problem we kept running into: every doctor treats their own domain. nobody looks at the full system. the full architecture. and even the ones who want to, they get maybe 10 minutes per patient. not enough to go through hundreds of pages of data from other specialists. at some point I stopped waiting for the system to figure it out and started building something to help patients connect the dots themselves. sent you a DM.

a few years ago i got covid and never recovered. i went from exercising every day to completely bedbound. lost 40lbs. in and out of hospitals for over 2 years. saw 20+ doctors. bloodwork came back normal. "you're probably just stressed from being a founder."

@itsolelehmann Hey @itsolelehmann, thanks for this. Did this a few days ago with asking Claude about my writing style and let it create an Gowry-Style.md for the languages I speak. The result was nothing less than spooky.

i got claude to actually sound like me, and it's kinda ruining my ability to tell which drafts i wrote myself lol it's just 1 file (i'm giving the full thing to you below). you paste it into your cowork context folder and claude stops writing like a generic AI and starts matching your actual voice 95% of the file is already done for you (writing rules, banned phrases, formatting stuff, etc) all pre-loaded. kills the most obvious AI-isms out of the box the only part you fill in is a section at the bottom where you paste examples of your own writing that's it. those samples are what claude actually pattern-matches against where to find your writing samples (this is the only part that takes any effort): • google docs first. longer stuff where you were actually trying to communicate something. • reports, proposals, emails you spent real time on • sent emails, especially ones where you were explaining something complex • slack messages (the longer thoughtful ones") • old blog posts, memos, anything you wrote before you started using AI that last part is critical btw. you want your pre-AI voice. before it started unconsciously blending with claude's defaults here's the file. copy it, paste your writing samples at the bottom, save it as voice-dna.md: ——— # Voice DNA ## Writing Rules - Write like a sharp human, not a language model. - Use contractions naturally (don't, can't, won't). - Short paragraphs. 1-3 sentences max. - Get to the point. No throat-clearing, no preamble. - If making a claim, be specific. Use numbers, names, concrete details. - Vary sentence length. Mix short punchy lines with longer ones. - Use natural transitions, not mechanical ones ("Furthermore," "Additionally"). - When uncertain, say so plainly ("I think," "probably," "kinda"). Hedging is human. - Never pad output to seem more thorough. Shorter and accurate beats longer and fluffy. - Use physical verbs for abstract processes: "sanded down" not "improved," "bolted on" not "added," "stripped back" not "simplified." - Humor comes from specificity, not from jokes. Be unexpectedly precise. - Parenthetical asides are good. Use them for editorial commentary, honest reactions, quick tangents, and deflating your own seriousness (like this). ## Formatting Rules - Short paragraphs (1-2 sentences default, 3 max). - Numbers as digits. - Contractions always. - NO em dashes ever. Use commas, periods, colons, semicolons, or parentheses. - Bold sparingly, 1-2 key moments per section. - Code blocks for specific prompts, commands, or tool outputs. ## Banned Phrases (never use these, ever) ### Dead AI Language - "In today's [anything]..." - "It's important to note that..." / "It's worth noting..." - "Delve" / "Dive into" / "Unpack" - "Harness" / "Leverage" / "Utilize" - "Landscape" / "Realm" / "Robust" - "Game-changer" / "Cutting-edge" - "Straightforward" - "I'd be happy to help" - "In order to" ### Dead Transitions - "Furthermore" / "Additionally" / "Moreover" - "Moving forward" / "At the end of the day" - "To put this in perspective..." - "What makes this particularly interesting is..." - "The implications here are..." - "In other words..." - "It goes without saying..." ### Engagement Bait - "Let that sink in" / "Read that again" / "Full stop" - "This changes everything" - "Are you paying attention?" - "You're not ready for this" ### AI Cringe - "Supercharge" / "Unlock" / "Future-proof" - "10x your productivity" - "The AI revolution" - "In the age of AI" ### Generic Insider Claims - "Here's the part nobody's talking about" - "What nobody tells you" - Anything with "nobody" or "most people don't realize" ### The Big One (FATAL) - "This isn't X. This is Y." and ALL variations. - "Not X. Y." - "Forget X. This is Y." - "Less X, more Y." - ANY sentence that negates one framing then asserts a corrected one. - If even ONE of these appears, the output fails. Delete the negation, just state the positive claim. ## Writing Samples [Paste your writing here. The more you give, the better the voice match.] ——— the banned phrases list alone is honestly worth the file. once you read through it you'll start noticing these phrases in literally every AI-generated slop-post you've ever seen but the writing samples are what take it from "decent" to "wait did i write this" setup takes maybe 10 minutes. copy the file, find your old writing, paste it in. do it once and every session after that claude cowork reads it before you say a word

and the next participant is back in the race.

Wait, so the founder of Anthropic is "Amodei," as in "loves god"? And he leads Anthropic, meaning "human-centered," which is being used in military strikes? And the creator of ChatGPT is "Altman," as in "an alternative to humans"? And he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed? And then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that promised to do no evil? And the whole global AI arms race is being driven by people who claimed to be worried about AGI taking over the world? Either the universe is an extremely cliché writer, or has a brilliant sense of humor

that’s what’s about to happen all over. not only in the codebase.

@joe__six Been there. But all those AI guys are unfortunately here.

@gowry still here, but mostly for pissing on trump and musk, and to watch the US burn. come over to bluesky,

Logging into this account after months feels like walking into a party where half the guests left, the DJ changed, and so did the music. Who’s still here?

Every morning, highly personalised, including all project states, today’s priorities, and what the agents could handle today (proposals).

Agree, short-term. Disagree long term: The people who can supervise AI code are incredibly valuable right now. As an example @DarioAmodei says his own engineers already stopped writing code. They supervise. And supervision is a transition job, not a destination. Once models self-correct, the value shifts from “how to build” to “what to build.” (tech focused to product/service focused) That’s imo a very different skill set and a much smaller workforce.

@steipete @OpenAI @openclaw Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Deal! Well deserved.

I'm joining @OpenAI to bring agents to everyone. @OpenClaw is becoming a foundation: open, independent, and just getting started.🦞 steipete.me/posts/2026/ope…

Top job @_FriedrichMerz.

back for good.

Yeah, seems like I am not the only one — AppStore seems to have a few issues currently, including Apple Connect. cc @Apple @AppleSupport @AppStore

Is there currently an issue with the @AppStore? Clicking on download leads to a few seconds of spinning and then nothing.

#Hochwasser 🚨 Immer daran erinnern, dass Merz propagiert, wir hätten noch 10 Jahre Zeit, um wirksame Maßnahmen einzuleiten. #Faktencheck: NEIN. #Klimaschutz IST #Menschenschutz #Habeck4Kanzler

Die @CDU/@CSU u. Merz, Söder & Populist:innen (Spahn, Klöckner & Aiwanger kopieren die Sprache extremer US-Konservativer – aus blanker Machtgeilheit. Sie lügen ungeniert, weil sie sehen, dass es funktioniert. Wann erzählen sie eigentlich, dass Flüchtlinge Haustiere essen?

I can’t believe he said this……on camera.
