INTERCAL: We have keywords like PLEASE and IGNORE because we think it's funny

Anthropic: We have PLEASE and IGNORE *baked into our source-code* because we have no fucking idea how this thing works

I'm now hearing where it's important to be polite to the idiot robot because then you might get better results CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELVES?

@pikesley Since we have no idea what the training data actually is, there's a chance it *does* give better results, for some definition of "better" anyway.

Someone should do a study on the quality of results between asking tersely worded questions, asking politely worded questions, and burning the entire industry to the ground.

For science.
