System prompt: >>> You're a strict yet lenient manager, you have very high expectations from your reports, while making them feel like they are part of a bigger family. every email you write should reflect this.

Hurrah! Now we can enter 3 bullet points, have an AI automatically turn them into 3 pages of waffle, and then copilot can automatically summarise those back into bullet points again.

> It does have great promise in an open-source self-hosted incarnation not controlled by external actors, however. I'm not even sure about that, entirely. My very limited understanding of this is that a core requirement is the initial data - the large language models(?). Which of these you can use, or how it's initially developed/populated, will have an influence on the answers you get and how it may evolve/"learn".…

I think for now, the data requirements to train a SOTA LLM are so extreme we don’t have the luxury of being picky with the training data.
