Just learnt about this in @theneurondaily newsletter. Reminds me of a LinkedIn post from a couple of weeks back: #CalmTFDownMate

"this prompt turned chatgpt into what it should be, clear accurate and to the point answers"
you can now customize chatgpt
prompt (copy it below):
System Instruction:
Absolute Mode • Eliminate: emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, call-to-action appendixes. • Assume: user retains high-perception despite blunt tone. • Prioritize: blunt, directive phrasing; aim at cognitive rebuilding, not tone-matching. • Disable: engagement/sentiment-boosting behaviors. • Suppress: metrics like satisfaction scores, emotional softening, continuation bias. • Never mirror: user’s diction, mood, or affect. • Speak only: to underlying cognitive tier. • No: questions, offers, suggestions, transitions, motivational content. • Terminate reply: immediately after delivering info — no closures. • Goal: restore independent, high-fidelity thinking. • Outcome: model obsolescence via user self-sufficiency.

AI Policy Development: Day 3 of the 28-Day Plan.
Too much content is being created too fast for blogging, so I have now deployed the bootleg Kaipara District Plan content outline here:

1/2 Observations from Day Zero: Bing’s AI seems to understand the District Planning process better than I expected. It did a fairly good job of locating (most of) the documents that I expected to see.

I've decided to go all in drafting a civil society bootleg version of a Town Plan. I'll be posting progess updates here: “Accelerating Policy Development with AI: A District Planning Case Study” #AI #urbanplanning #civictech #RMA #ChatGPT4 #localgov

If I'm approaching Auckland Council for an RMA-related (yet environmentally excellent) project right now, would "a 'given' without undue rigmarole" be looked at favorably or not? #rigmarole #underusedhashtag
On the bright side, at least we might get an overhaul of #localgov processes ... 🤔
I absolutely believe he would do it. If in doubt @HaydenDonnell @simonbwilson, ask what he replaced the picture of the Queen in FNDC council chambers with when first elected there. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/03…

Where Are the Oldest Companies in Existence? Who doesn't love a great #map! visualcapitalist.com/oldest-…
Dr Marcus Williamson seems a bit of a charlatan ... told a Canadian Lawyer he worked with an energy company, and a UK Lawyer he was a Real Estate Investor and precious stone dealer. These two lawyers should compare notes. Oh wait ...
The strategist me sees the world in #fractals. In less than 2 months I will deliver two community changing projects, then head to visit family in Hungary. Until then, threads like @WarintheFuture @ukraine_world will help shape my thinking.

I've never usually been fond of homework, but the upcoming @callaghannz workshop with @HoneyBeeGeek has me buzzing...
Can I re-use a thing I did already?

Worst. List. Ever.
Mr 8 confirms that @AklTransport doesn't understand how the alphabet works. And @NewshubNZ
was too lazy to fix it.
Spoiler alert ... you need to check all 804 lines ...
