TLDR; remove your directives they may be doing more harm than good to v5 models.

[Thariq @trq212]

We removed ~80% of the Claude Code system prompt for our newest models, this is what we've learned about writing system prompts, skills and Claude.MDs for them. https://t.co/6DZwSrZjE9

Harsh truth

[Aporia @aporia9n]

We’re all on this AI treadmill thinking our prompts are special, our product is special, our “taste” is special, and that we somehow have a unique right to win.

Meanwhile, almost everything is getting commoditised in real time. Coding, design, copywriting, music, images, research, even ideas now. Most of us are just producing slightly different versions of the same useful slop and calling it a moat.

I’m not even convinced the AI labs are winning here, especially the US ones. They’re spending insane amounts of money to compete in a market with limited stickiness, prices dropping fast, and products that are becoming more and more interchangeable. Every breakthrough just turns into someone else’s API feature like six months later. They might just burn each other out until Chinese or open-source models finish squeezing the margins.

Traditional AI startups don’t look much safer either. Most are building on top of stuff they don’t own, at prices they don’t control, with products that can get copied before their next funding round even closes.

The only people I consistently see winning are the ones I’ve mentioned before: operators who specialise in these asymmetric plays and just surf every wave they can.

They don’t need to own the model, build infra, or discover anything fundamental. They just take advantage of the fact that intelligence is being sold stupidly cheap right now, turn a few thousand dollars of tokens into millions of ads, leads, content, or automated labour, grab the spread, then dip once everyone else catches up.

They’re not trying to build the definitive AI company. They’re treating AI like temporarily underpriced electricity, cuz that’s basically what it is right now.

Yes more physical less digital

[Dan Woods @danveloper]

A really neat thing my friend Matt did was to use Claude and Codex to design a print periodical of articles he finds interesting and have it professionally printed and delivered. It’s beautiful. Stunning, even. I love this idea so much.

@pwnies @bri_ricci check out the aesthetic

[🗽 @verritass]

Doomscrolling is a black magic ritual. You lay in the same position. Turn off the lights, deeply focused on the feed. You’re shown memes, tragedies and “useful” information (it’s all slop) and before you know it you’re stuck in a trance. Your thumb moves without thought. You’re in flow but it’s artificially engineered by the dopamine loops the algo was built to trigger. You remember you have things to do but the black mirror pulls you in deeper by showing you something that stimulates you more. Before you know it, all your free time is gone. Every original idea you may have had is gone. You’re polluted with open loops and feel restless all the time. Every day you go to your altar (your bed), pull out your rosary (your ig feed) and you endlessly worship slop. Time blurs together and years have gone by yet you repeat the same pattern. Why? because you’ve never been taught how to engage with your own boredom, with your own pain, with your own discomfort. You resist it like it’s killing you, but what’s killing you is what you’ve turned into a part of your life (scrolling). It’s inverted. If you simply learned how to be courageous and face your immediate discomfort with pain and boredom. You’ll allow your natural wisdom and creativity to rise and begin living a life you truly want to live.

@bryan_johnson Your diagnosis reminded me of the irony loop of the simulation.
