Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.

Marc Andreessen

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

Niemand muss "Schule neu denken". Über Schule ist genügend nachgedacht worden. Es gibt hervorragende Studien zu Unterricht, Methoden, Wirksamkeit, Faktoren etc Das System Schule ist durchdacht. Es scheitert weder an Ideenmangel noch an Visionen, sondern an realer jahrzehntelanger Mangelwirtschaft.

Great Article! "Thus, “R.U.R.,” which gave birth to the robot, was a critique of mechanization and the ways it can dehumanize people. The word itself derives from the Czech word “robota,” or forced labor, as done by serfs. Its Slavic linguistic root, “rab,” means “slave.”"

Wenn ihr die (finanzielle) Möglichkeit habt, dann stattet doch dem unabhängigen Buchhandel in eurer Nähe noch einen vorweihnachtlichen Besuch ab. Das Weihnachtsgeschäft läuft nicht gut und es ist vor allem der unabhängige Handel, der für Vielfalt in den Programmen sorgt.

Das ist ein wichtiges Paper zum Verständnis der Gegenwart: Große Ungleichheit führt zu (falschen) Aufstiegsträumen und damit zur Ablehnung von Umverteilung (weil man in diesem Traum selbst einmal reich ist) - und damit zur Stabilisierung von Ungleichheit.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Ich empfehle sehr dieses Gespräch mit dem Soziologen Frank Adloff. Selten wurde so sachlich-nüchtern Klartext zum Klimakollaps gesprochen. Was würde ich dafür geben, wenn die gesamte Debatte sich so in Breite ausgestalten würde. Man wäre so viel weiter.

Soziologe warnt: Wegen der Klimakrise droht der gesellschaftliche Zusammenbruch

Ökologische Krisen erschüttern die Grundlagen unseres Zusammenlebens, sagt der Soziologe Frank Adloff. Notwendig sei daher ein radikaler Systemwandel.
