What’s your system prompt? The one your childhood installed and you’ve been patching ever since.

@eshear I asked ChatGPT… “earn love by being impressive. safety is conditional. vulnerability is a liability. trust must be proven, not given. you are on your own, so be exceptional.”

I have a new post! It's about how pissed I am that none of you write system prompts for yourselves https://t.co/jS5fBRF9bF https://t.co/KrhFb0h2HT

@eshear Seek Truth, seek Good, do Good Ie. understand what is true, and use that to understand what is good, and use that to actually do good. The doing part mustn't be forgotten. (This was my sys prompt from til ~26yo, dunno that I have one now, still in reboot)
