It's fine for friend (small, private) communities. My problem is that Discord is virtually never a good option for public communities, but it's almost always the go-to choice (because "everyone already has it").

It's a pretty cool finding, but a shallow article and arguably clickbait. > ... it’s very possible there’s more governing army ant behavior than two simple rules. Then don't say otherwise in the title!

But surely Anthropic knows better than almost anyone on the planet what does and doesn't work well to shape Claude's responses. I'm curious why they're choosing to write these prompts at all.

Odd how many of those instructions are almost always ignored (eg. "don't apologize," "don't explain code without being asked"). What is even the point of these system prompts if they're so weak?

Deranged? Seriously? Did it not occur to you that the statement was humorous hyperbole, did you actively choose to reject the idea, or are you commenting in bad faith?

In addition to this forms of commercial discrimination, police and government agencies are free to buy and use data for their purposes, which we should not be fooled into believing is good for society/security on average.

Definitely a workable idea. I used to play a lot of Rimworld and, as is good practice in heavily modded long-run games, would frequently make manual saves. The names of those saves weren't in the style of commit messages (more like epi
