🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch it and bookmark it now.

Politicians and city officials keep blaming the violence at Free Palestine protests on crowd size, excusing vandalized Jewish businesses, hateful slogans, and blatant antisemitism as an inevitable byproduct of large demonstrations.

But this weekend, 350,000 Iranians gathered in Toronto, 250,000 in Munich, and thousands in London, Melbourne, Athens and Tokyo to condemn the Iranian regime and its mass slaughter.

And guess what? Not a single shop window was smashed. Not one act of violence.

Police officers were even given flowers to thank them for protecting the demonstrators. Many patrol cars were covered with letters and bouquets.

So no, the problem was never the number of people. It was the people themselves.

Soo, actually, the Clawdbot post was pretty obviously written by AI... Which, don't get me wrong, is totally okay with me. It was really helpful, and I'm sure you read through it and provided oversight, but especially as it went along, it was definitely in classic ChatGPT verbose re-reputation of everything it already said 10 ways to Sunday style..... I thought about making a comment, but I guess I kind of expect everything to be that way now, so🤷‍♂️

@Mendi_io I just got my unit and tried to try it out, and guys, I hate to say it, but I am seriously less than impressed.

Upon opening the box; zero direction on what to do next. In fact, the pamphlet inside (on which one would at least expect a couple of icons saying something like: “scan this QR code to get the app”, or even that I needed to get a nap in the first place) has basically nothing but tiny print regulatory information - so I open it expecting direction, and get nothing.

You don’t even have a URL to a website about how to use it or set up.

So I go to the website to see if I can find that… Nope. Not explicitly… Not like I just bought something and you want me to use it.

So I go search the App Store myself, download the app, and it’s still confusing cause it acts like I’m already signed up and ready to go and know what I’m doing - but I’m not.
Even when I create a new account – where is the “Welcome to Mehndi! Here’s what you do:” screen? You know I just signed up for the first time. You know I just got a unit. How do you not start with that?

I’m trying to remember, but I don’t think it even prompted me to set up the unit - just an option to start a session - THEN it goes through the process to find the device.

No set up prompts no sign up prompts without me looking for it.

And especially confusing , no explanation whatsoever about what this is going to do and how to use it – not like I’m setting up a new product🙄.

Sure I can dig through all these articles and stuff – none of which really are created from the standpoint of me being a first-time user, and which I want to do about as much as I want to stick a pencil in my eye…. I could go on.

Guys, who designed your out of box experience? This is ridiculously bad.

So I muddle through it just because I’m technical and at least it’s too hard to guess, but I don’t even know the session is really starting until it does. You’re not guiding me to start. You’re just giving me this wall of articles that look like every other wall of articles in every other Health app – you’re not starting me out and showing me what to do unless I dig it out. And you even bury any contact capability.

So I started a session and I have hardly any idea what’s going on. First thing you do is suddenly instruct me to breathe - wait, what? Where did that come from? Maybe explain we’re gonna do that first and then start the session?

The lack of even minimal explanation of pretty much everything going on leaves me, even after finishing the session, feeling completely clueless about what just happened. No explanation about what the graph means. No explanation about what to look for. Which brainwave state am I in? I don’t know.

Sure, again, it looks like you have some general stuff in some articles, but because I’m sorry I just don’t have time to have to go dig through it myself. Why don’t you just give it to me? It’s not that hard.

I could go on. A lot.
It actually seems like this is something that could be useful – but I still, even though I have some experience with this, have almost no clue, and I’m sure not gonna spend time shifting through all of these videos that are thrown up without any sense of connection or what to do first or how they are relevant to me right now.

I literally don’t even know what to expect except for just the guy on the commercial saying “this is amazing”. How will I know?

I’m gonna try it out some more. Maybe I’ll dig it out after I do this a while… but I literally have no idea what you’re going to show me on day two or three or whatever. There’s not even an indication.

I’m pretty disappointed. I guess somebody decided to save some money on just some really basic customer journey/ OOBE/ product/ interface design, and it shows. You could get a ton better with very little effort and some basic observational research. It’s not that hard.

Good luck

Most amazing video I’ve seen in a long time… snowboarder saved by a skier — seems both were skiing alone in the deep powder. Always ski with a partner or two!

I have no idea how to react to this. It’s very cool and somewhat disconcerting at the same time. Remarkable
