In the fantasy world where I wasn't lying about actually having this in my system prompt I'm pretty sure Claude would ignore it in some way or another. I say that because (and this is true) when I first installed it I put only t

Frankly, I need to apologise because I must have totally skipped the "i suspect one of these teams has more bots than the other". And agree that manual downvotes (or comments) are not always in good faith either (though I'd a

I tried to find the psilocybin ones with friends once, just kids (well we were 15) with a few books about mushrooms from the library haha. We grabbed anything that "kinda looked like them", then put them all on the kitchen counter
