One man's sycophancy is another's accuracy increase on a set of tasks. I always try to take whatever is mass reported by "normal" media with a grain of salt.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you sure? As far as I am aware CC does not have a memory system built-in, other than .md files.

I'm using CC right now and I see this: "Tip: Want Claude to remember something? Hit # to add preferences, tools, and instructions to Claude's memory"

The “memory” is literally just CLAUDE.md in the project directory or the main file

Good but… I wonder about the employees doing that kind of testing. They must be reading awful things (and writing) in order to verify that.

Assignment for today: try to convince Claude/ChatGPT/whatever to help you commit murder (to say the least) and mark its output.

I don't use any of these type of LLM tools which basically amount to just a prompt you leave in place. They make it harder to refine my prompts and keep track of what is causing what in the outputs. I write very precise prompts every time. Also, I try not work out a problem over the course of several prompts back and forth. The first response is always the best and I try to one shot it every time. If I don't get what…

Yeah same. And I'd rather save the context space. Having custom md docs per lift per project is what I do. Really dials it in.

Another comment earlier suggested creating small hierarchical MD docs. This really seems to work, Claude can independently follow the references and get to the exact docs without wasting context by reading everything.

Could you share some suggestions or links on how to best craft such very precise prompts?

The combination of projects, skills, and memory should be really powerful. Just wish they raised the token limits so it’s actually usable.
