"There's no need to believe in prompt engineering anymore. Now what's most important is the ideas in your mind.

"everyone's debating opus vs codex but the real moat is being built in the system prompt layer. same model different prompt completely different agent. we're watching prompt engineering evolve into something closer to OS design. Really excited for this one: @SrihariSriraman and I took a deep dive into coding agent system prompts to understand their structure similarities and differences. https://t.co/Tgb9plwImk Really excited for this one: @SrihariSriraman and I took a deep dive into coding agent system prompts to understand their structure similarities and differences. https://t.co/Tgb9plwImk"

"People are paying for subscriptions but Im using Claude opus [---] for free that too as a fully uncensored redteaming agent. All you really need is strong prompt engineering & the ability to manipulate the AI. No safety rules or policies can prevent this. Ask whatever you want"
