One of my friends makes $1.2M a year as an Anthropic engineer.

I asked him how he became so good at prompting. He sent me a video that was never meant to be public: Anthropic’s core team prompting playbook.

You’ll struggle to find a better 30-minute guide to prompting than this.

I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I’d been using Claude completely wrong for the past two years.

Watch it. Bookmark it.

@a16z @nvidia @MistralAI @arthurmensch @AnjneyMidha By far the clearest and best articulation of the magnitude of the opportunities, challenges and importance of AI across the board not just as a GP technology but also as a cultural/country-specific (and of course company-specific) digital workforce - well done and thank you

[Scott Cathcart @sdcathcart]

Can't say I am surprised, and certainly a small thing in the context of the very real hardships so many are facing right now. But still a bummer to miss EFAT 2020 after 23 stright years! See you next year @EscapeAlcatraz

[Scott Cathcart @sdcathcart]

So incredibly cool of @LandRover to give their new Defender media test vehicles to the #RedCross - what a classy way to set a positive example of what really matters in the midst of #coronavirus #charity

[Scott Cathcart @sdcathcart]

It's been an awesome 23 years in a row and counting @EscapeAlcatraz ! Best race in the world. Thanks for the shout out. Looking forward to #EFAT2020 ! #escapefromalcatraztriathlon

[Escape Alcatraz Tri @EscapeAlcatraz]

Tradition. Family. Challenge. Inspiration. Identity.

Hear from these longtime Escapees about what makes #EscapeAlcatrazTri more than just a bucket list race. @sdcathcart @Steve_Triath

Will you be joining us in 2020?!
