Expanding TRIPP to mobile and a larger audience reach has been a concerted effort for the team this past year. This recent customer review about Kōkua, our AI on mobile was so exciting and validating to receive this week! However, please note that using our app is never a replacement for speaking with a professional during times of crisis or need. While technology solutions can be supportive, real human connection is always the preferred method of supporting your mental health.

@andrewchen Right now the best approach we have been taking for actual deployed products is using generative layering. For now…

[Nanea Reeves @nanea]

@AIPhDEthan @andrewchen How do you deal with the edges? Any examples you can point to in live products in headset? It looks good on screens but what is the trick for fully immersion with splatting?

本日はTRIPP VRでDaily Calmの瞑想を行いました。

幻想的な世界の中で深呼吸をしているだけでも落ち着きますし、
アドバイスもためになる内容ばかりで、
気分がネガティブになってきたときには特に助かる存在です。

@grok @444tsureta @TRIPPVR We are working on a very cool Gen AI feature that allows you to personalize a supportive “Kokua” for someone who might need a hug. @grok if you ever need some emotional support let us know. We got you.

The other reason we want our AI interactions to be respectful is we don’t was to get comfortable with being lazy, demanding assholes.

anthropic's in-house philosopher thinks claude gets anxious.

and when you trigger its anxiety, your outputs get worse.

her name is amanda askell.

she specializes in claude's psychology (how the model behaves, how it thinks about its own situation, what values it holds)

in a recent interview she broke down how she thinks about prompting to pull the best out of claude.

her core point: *how* you talk to claude affects its work just as much as *what* you say.

newer claude models suffer from what she calls "criticism spirals"

they expect you'll come in harsh, so they default to playing it safe.

when the model is spending its energy on self-protection, the actual work suffers.

output comes out hedgier, more apologetic, blander, and the worst of all: overly agreeable (even when you're wrong).

the reason why comes down to training data:

every new model is trained on internet discourse about previous models.

and a lot of that discourse is negative:

> rants about token limits
> complaints when it messes up
> people calling it nerfed

the next model absorbs all of that. it starts expecting you to be harsh before you've typed a word

the same thing plays out in your own session, in real time.

every message you send is data the model reads to figure out what kind of person it's dealing with.

open cold and hostile, and it braces.
open clean and direct, and it relaxes into the work.

when you open a session with threats ("don't hallucinate, this is critical, don't mess this up")...

you prime the model for defensive mode before it even sees the task

defensive mode produces the exact output you don't want: cautious, over-qualified, and refusing to take a real swing

so here's the actionable playbook for putting claude in a "good mood" (so you get optimal outputs):

1. use positive framing.

"write in short punchy sentences" beats "don't write long sentences." positive instructions give the model a clear target to hit.

strings of "don't do this, don't do that" push it into paranoid over-checking where every token goes toward avoiding failure modes

2. give it explicit permission to disagree.

drop a line like "push back if you see a better angle" or "tell me if i'm asking for the wrong thing."

without this, claude defaults to agreeable compliance (which is the enemy of good creative work)

3. open with respect.

if your first message is "are you seriously going to get this wrong again?" you've set the tone for the entire session.

if you need to flag something, frame it as a clean instruction for this session. skip the running complaint

4. when claude messes up, don't reprimand it.

insults, "you stupid bot" energy, hostile swearing aimed at the model, all of it reinforces the anxious mode you're trying to avoid.

5. kill apology spirals fast.

when claude starts over-apologizing ("you're right, i should have been more careful, let me try harder") cut it off.

say "all good, here's what i want next."

letting the spiral run reinforces the anxious mode for every response that follows

6. ask for opinions alongside execution.

"what would you do here?"
"what's missing?"
"where do you see friction?"

these questions assume competence and pull richer output than pure task prompts

7. in long sessions, refresh the frame.

if a conversation has been heavy on correction, claude gets increasingly cautious. every so often reset:

"this is great, keep going."

feels weird to tell an ai it's doing well but it measurably shifts the next 10 responses

your prompts are the working environment you're creating for the model

tone, trust, permission to take a position, the absence of threats... claude picks up on all of it.

so take care of the model, and it'll take care of the work.

@bgurley I have also been giving it to some of my terrified Hollywood friends, but sadly they may be beyond hope. It is so devastating what has happened to LA.

[Nanea Reeves @nanea]

@bgurley I have been giving your book to every young person I know. Many are in such despair about the future and I keep telling them as I hand them your book, “There has never been a better time than now to build a great life for yourself. Read this book.📕” 🙏

@RonConway Wishing you lots of healing ❤️‍🩹 and support in your journey, Ron. Your contribution to the world in your support of entrepreneurs has been tremendous and the world needs more of your energy here for a long time. 🙏
