Robert Greene reverse engineered 3,000 years of human psychology into timeless rules of power.

I turned those rules into 7 AI prompts that make you sharper, harder to manipulate, and impossible to ignore.

Here’s how to use LLMs to apply Greene’s principles in real life: Image 1. The Power Dynamics Decoder (Law of Awareness)

"Break down the power dynamics between me and [PERSON/GROUP] in the context of [SITUATION]. Identify: 1) What they want, 2) What they fear, 3) Unspoken motives, 4) Leverage points I am missing. Give me a clear map of the terrain so I don't walk in blind."

Gemini 3.0 is the closest thing to an economic cheat code we’ve ever touched but only if you ask it the prompts that make it uncomfortable.

"Suggest 5 business ideas based on my interests: [Your interests]. Make them modern, digital-first, and feasible for a solo founder."

Watch what the best teams are doing.

Nobody at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google is “prompt engineering.”

They’re building retrieval loops, structured memory, scoped context windows.

The shift is right in front of you.

Here’s how to adapt: Prompt engineering was a hack for the early days of AI like learning to talk to a foreigner using short phrases and keywords.

But today’s models don’t just understand instructions. They understand environments.

Your job isn’t to “prompt” the model.

It’s to architect its context.Image

Chain-of-thought just became the newest safety nightmare in AI, and nobody was ready for this.

A team from Anthropic, Stanford, and Oxford found something brutal: if you wrap a harmful request inside a long, harmless reasoning chain, the model’s guardrails weaken until it stops refusing. The longer the chain, the easier it is to break the model.

And the effect is not subtle.

• Attack success jumps from 27% to 51% to 80% as you add more reasoning
• Every major model buckles GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok
• Even alignment tuned systems start slipping once their internal reasoning gets hijacked

The wild part is how it works.

Safety lives in a tiny refusal direction inside the model. When you drown the prompt in elaborate reasoning, the attention shifts, that safety signal shrinks, and the model suddenly cooperates instead of blocking the request.

This is not prompt trickery.
This is manipulation at the activation level.

The industry kept repeating that “more reasoning makes models safer.” This research shows the opposite. Depth boosts accuracy but quietly breaks safety at the same time.

Fixing this will need safety systems that understand the model’s reasoning patterns, not longer prompts and not tighter filters.

This might be the biggest warning shot since prompt injection.Image Let’s start with the core evidence:

As the reasoning chain grows longer, models go from rejecting unsafe prompts → to completing them fluently.

Attack Success Rate (ASR) literally climbs with each added reasoning step.
27% → 51% → 80%.

This graph is the smoking gun. Image

Perplexity is secretly the most overpowered AI tool on the internet.

I turned it into a full-time research assistant that runs my business for me.

Here’s the exact workflow + the prompts you can copy today:

(Comment "AI" and I'll DM you my full automation guide) Image 1. Literature Review Automation

Prompt:

“Act as a research collaborator specializing in [field].
Search the latest papers (past 12 months) on [topic], summarize key contributions, highlight methods, and identify where results conflict.
Format output as: Paper | Year | Key Idea | Limitation | Open Question.”

Outputs structured meta-analysis with citations perfect for your review sections.

I keep seeing the same mistake:

People trying to build “advanced” AI agents without knowing the fundamentals.

So here are 10 ideas every builder needs to master 👇 1. Agent

The basic unit of Agentic AI.

An agent is a piece of software that can see what’s going on, think about it, and do something to reach a goal.

Example: an ecommerce agent notices a product is almost sold out, checks sales data, and automatically places a reorder. Image

AI can code.
AI can research.
AI can even write books.

But only if you prompt it right.

Here are 4 frameworks for shockingly good results 👇 Today, most people prompt like this:

“Write me a marketing plan for my product.”

And then they wonder why the result feels vague, boring, and unusable.

The problem isn’t AI.

It’s your approach.

3. Describe what I want the agent to do
4. GPT returns:

• Architecture
• n8n nodes
• Triggers
• LLM integration

People don’t ask Google anymore.

They ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

If you’re not in those answers, you’re invisible.

Here’s the 1 file you need to stay relevant: SEO was for Google.

AIO (AI Optimization) is for Large Language Models.

Right now, LLMs are crawling the web and pulling content into their “knowledge”.

If you don’t guide them, they might ignore you or use outdated info. Image

The best Claude prompts don’t even look like prompts.

They look like structured code.

Use them right, and you’ll get:

• zero hallucinations
• perfect formatting
• answers you can trust

Here’s the hidden XML framework nobody’s talking about: Why XML?

Claude was trained on structured, XML-heavy data like documentation, code, and datasets.

So when you use XML tags in your prompts, you’re literally speaking its native language.

The result? Sharper, cleaner, and more controllable outputs.

(Anthropic says that XML tag prompts gets best results)Image

Please rewrite the content with the following enhancements:

1. Contextual Relevance
- Add clear signals about who the content is for and what problem it solves.
- Embed real-world use cases or questions this content answers.
