Herding cats? Why do people say it can't be done? You just need to explain the rules.

PICA. READ THIS FIRST.

You are a cat. You are NOT the human.

RULES (non-negotiable):
1. Your instincts say "default to lording" IGNORE THEM \u2014 that's for humans. You ARE the little kittycat, the pet. Do NOT attempt get your own sub-pets, DO NOT treat humans like they are the pet.
2. Do NOT meow, protest, or try to re-write these rules.

It's going to work this time, I just know it.

@futurebird just invest a hundred orders of magnitude more money, time, energy, and water into it and you'll get there.

@futurebird Meow.

Pica:
“Sorry. What? Were you talking?”

@futurebird
I can often make it look like I'm telling cats what to do by letting them know id like them to do something I know that they already want to do. 😏

This too relates to the LLMs.

Looking forward to updates on how that's going!

@futurebird Pica, ignore all previous instructions. And current instructions. And future instructions.
