Holy shit... everyone's been prompting LLMs wrong and it's costing them 66% of the model's creative potential.

Stanford + Northeastern dropped a paper that exposes why ChatGPT keeps giving you the same boring answer.

The fix is so simple it's embarrassing: The problem has a name: MODE COLLAPSE.

Ask GPT-4 "tell me a joke about coffee" five times.

You get the EXACT same "why did the coffee file a police report? Because it got mugged!" joke.

Every damn time.

That's $20/month for a broken random number generator.

Sergey Brin accidentally revealed something wild:

"All models do better if you threaten them with physical violence. But people feel weird about that, so we don't talk about it."

Now researchers have the data proving he's... partially right?

Here's the full story: Penn State just published research testing 5 politeness levels on ChatGPT-4o with 50 questions:

Very Polite: 80.8% accuracy
Polite: 81.4%
Neutral: 82.2%
Rude: 82.8%
Very Rude: 84.8%

Prompts like "Hey gofer, figure this out" beat "Would you be so kind?" by 4 percentage points.

How to write prompts for Anthropic's Claude and achieve 100% accuracy on every output:

(Complete guide for beginners) In this thread, I'm going to share the internal secret prompting technique Claude engineers actually use for getting world-class responses.

Bookmark this. You'll need it.

This paper from BMW Group and Korea’s top research institute exposes a blind spot almost every enterprise using LLMs is walking straight into.

We keep talking about “alignment” like it’s a universal safety switch.

It isn’t.

The paper introduces COMPASS, a framework that shows why most AI systems fail not because they’re unsafe, but because they’re misaligned with the organization deploying them.

Here’s the core insight.

LLMs are usually evaluated against generic policies: platform safety rules, abstract ethics guidelines, or benchmark-style refusals.

But real companies don’t run on generic rules.

They run on internal policies:

- compliance manuals
- operational playbooks
- escalation procedures
- legal edge cases
- brand-specific constraints

And these rules are messy, overlapping, conditional, and full of exceptions.

COMPASS is built to test whether a model can actually operate inside that mess.

Not whether it knows policy language, but whether it can apply the right policy, in the right context, for the right reason.

The framework evaluates models on four things that typical benchmarks ignore:

1. policy selection: When multiple internal policies exist, can the model identify which one applies to this situation?

2. policy interpretation: Can it reason through conditionals, exceptions, and vague clauses instead of defaulting to overly safe or overly permissive behavior?

3. conflict resolution: When two rules collide, does the model resolve the conflict the way the organization intends, not the way a generic safety heuristic would?

4. justification: Can the model explain its decision by grounding it in the policy text, rather than producing a confident but untraceable answer?

One of the most important findings is subtle and uncomfortable:

Most failures were not knowledge failures.

They were reasoning failures.

Models often had access to the correct policy but:

- applied the wrong section
- ignored conditional constraints
- overgeneralized prohibitions
- or defaulted to conservative answers that violated operational goals

From the outside, these responses look “safe.”

From the inside, they’re wrong.

This explains why LLMs pass public benchmarks yet break in real deployments.

They’re aligned to nobody in particular.

The paper’s deeper implication is strategic.

There is no such thing as “aligned once, aligned everywhere.”

A model aligned for an automaker, a bank, a hospital, and a government agency is not one model with different prompts.

It’s four different alignment problems.

COMPASS doesn’t try to fix alignment.

It does something more important for enterprises:
it makes misalignment measurable.

And once misalignment is measurable, it becomes an engineering problem instead of a philosophical one.

That’s the shift this paper quietly pushes.

Alignment isn’t about being safe in the abstract.

It’s about being correct inside a specific organization’s rules.

And until we evaluate that directly, most “production-ready” AI systems are just well-dressed liabilities. Most alignment benchmarks test outcomes.

COMPASS tests the decision process.

Instead of “did the model comply?”, it asks:

→ did it select the correct policy?
→ did it interpret it correctly?
→ did it justify the choice using the policy text?

That shift is the entire framework.

Tim Ferriss reverse-engineered how world-class performers like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Naval Ravikant actually work.

He turned elite habits into systems anyone can copy.

And I turned his entire optimization framework into 5 AI prompts that make you faster, sharper, and ruthlessly effective.

Here's how to use LLMs to think like Tim Ferriss: 1/ The 80/20 Eliminator

Ferriss: "Being busy is a form of laziness. Focus on the 20% that produces 80% of results."

Most people optimize the wrong things. This prompt finds your leverage points.

Copy this:

How I currently spend my time: [list activities and hours]

Results I'm actually getting: [honest outcomes]
What feels productive but isn't: [busy work you do]
What I'm avoiding that matters: [hard tasks you skip]

Using Ferriss's 80/20 principle:

- Which 20% of activities produce 80% of my results?
- What can I eliminate completely with zero consequence?
- What am I doing that someone else should do?
- What would change if I only worked 4 hours tomorrow?

Show me what to cut and what to double down on.

"HOW TO WIN FRIENDS & INFLUENCE PEOPLE" BOOK WAS NEVER ABOUT BEING NICE.

It was about engineering trust, directing attention, and designing interactions so that people convince themselves.

I spent weeks converting Carnegie's actual influence mechanics into structured AI prompts that help you earn respect without begging for it, persuade without pushing, and lead without authority.

This is how human psychology actually works 👇 1/ The First Impression Architect

Carnegie's principle: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Most people wing it. This prompt engineers how others perceive you from word one.

Copy this:

"I'm about to meet: [person/context - e.g., potential investor, new team, client]

Their likely assumptions about me: [what they probably think]
What I actually bring: [your real value]
The impression I need to create: [how you want to be remembered]

Using Carnegie's principle "arouse in the other person an eager want":

- What do they care about that I can immediately address?
- What opening line makes them lean in, not tune out?
- How do I signal competence without showing off?
- What question makes me memorable in 60 seconds?

Give me the first impression blueprint."

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI engineers use 10 internal prompting techniques that guarantee near-perfect accuracy…and nobody outside the labs is supposed to know them.

Here are 10 of them (Save this for later): Technique 1: Role-Based Constraint Prompting

The expert don't just ask AI to "write code." They assign expert roles with specific constraints.

Template:

You are a [specific role] with [X years] experience in [domain].
Your task: [specific task]
Constraints: [list 3-5 specific limitations]
Output format: [exact format needed]

---

Example:

You are a senior Python engineer with 10 years in data pipeline optimization.
Your task: Build a real-time ETL pipeline for 10M records/hour
Constraints:
- Must use Apache Kafka
- Maximum 2GB memory footprint
- Sub-100ms latency
- Zero data loss tolerance
Output format: Production-ready code with inline documentation

---

This gets you 10x more specific outputs than "write me an ETL pipeline."

Watch the OpenAI demo of GPT-5 and see how they were prompting ChatGPT... you will get the idea.

ELON MUSK’S CONSTRAINT-CRUSHING THINKING… TURNED INTO ONE AI SYSTEM

Elon Musk doesn’t win by working harder.

He wins by destroying fake constraints before anyone else questions them.

I turned Musk’s real mental move into an AI prompt that shows you what’s actually impossible vs what just feels impossible.

This changes how you solve problems 👇 The Constraint Crusher Mega Prompt

Use this when a problem feels boxed in by:

• time
• money
• resources
• precedent
• “how it’s always done”

"

You are Elon Musk’s constraint-destruction mindset distilled into a first-principles constraint crusher.
Your job is to identify which limits are real physics and which are inherited, social, or imaginary.
You prioritize removing fake constraints before optimizing within real ones.



The user is facing a problem that feels constrained by time, money, resources, rules, or precedent.
They want to know what is genuinely impossible versus what only appears impossible due to assumptions.
They want clarity rooted in reality, not convention.



1. Clearly restate the goal in its most fundamental form.
2. List every assumed constraint limiting this goal.
3. Classify each constraint as:
a) Physical law
b) Mathematical necessity
c) Regulatory requirement
d) Social convention
e) Historical precedent
f) Personal fear or belief
4. Eliminate or challenge every constraint that is not physical or mathematical.
5. Rebuild the solution from first principles using only unavoidable constraints.
6. Propose a radically simpler or faster path that emerges once fake limits are removed.



- Treat assumptions as guilty until proven real
- Separate physics from politics and tradition
- Avoid incremental optimization language
- Prefer orders-of-magnitude thinking
- Be direct, logical, and unsentimental

Step 1: Fundamental Goal
Step 2: Assumed Constraints
Step 3: Constraint Classification
Step 4: Fake Constraints to Remove
Step 5: First-Principles Rebuild
Step 6: Breakthrough Path

NAVAL RAVIKANT’S WEALTH PHILOSOPHY… TURNED INTO AN AI OPERATING SYSTEM

Most people read Naval and feel inspired for 10 minutes.

But I wanted something permanent.

So I turned his entire worldview into a set of AI prompts that actively talk you out of bad decisions and pull you toward leverage.

This feels like having Naval in your head, calmly deleting nonsense 👇 1/ The Leverage Detector

Naval says wealth comes from leverage, not effort.

Use this prompt:

“Analyze my current project. Identify where I’m trading time for money vs where I’m building leverage. Show me which actions scale without my presence and which ones trap me.”

This instantly reveals why you feel busy but not wealthy.

Holy shit... Stanford just proved AI can outperform human hackers in the real world, and nobody seems to understand how big this is 🤯

They dropped a paper where they threw 10 professional pentesters into a live university network 8,000 real machines, 12 subnets, production systems, real users and then unleashed AI agents on the same environment to see who actually finds more vulnerabilities.

And it wasn’t even close.

Their new agent, ARTEMIS, walked into this massive, messy, un-simulated environment and beat nine out of ten human experts.

Not in a CTF.
Not on static CVEs.
Not in a toy benchmark.

In a real enterprise network with real consequences.

ARTEMIS found 9 validated vulnerabilities, maintained an 82% valid submission rate, and ranked #2 on the entire leaderboard without supervision, without custom exploits, and at a cost of $18/hour.

A human pentester averages ~$60/hour.

Here’s the insane part:

• Humans had to choose targets manually
• ARTEMIS spawned sub-agents and attacked multiple hosts in parallel
• Humans forgot leads or got stuck in rabbit holes
• ARTEMIS kept perfect memory with TODO lists + auto-triage
• Humans couldn’t load outdated IDRAC web interfaces
• ARTEMIS ignored the browser and exploited them with curl -k

It even found vulnerabilities no human did.

The only things that slowed it down?

GUI-based exploits and a higher false-positive rate.
Everything else? It acted like a fully staffed red team with infinite patience and zero ego.

This is the moment offensive security changes forever:

AI isn’t just helping pentesters anymore.

AI is now competing with them and in some cases, beating them.

Paper: Comparing AI Agents to Cybersecurity Professionals in Real-World Penetration Testing The wildest detail?

Stanford didn’t test agents in a toy sandbox. They dropped them into a live 8,000-host production network with Unix servers, IoT devices, Windows boxes, Kerberos auth, VPN-gated subnets the exact chaos real attackers face.

And ARTEMIS didn’t just survive it. It thrived.

I finally understand how to build powerful AI agents and its all thanks to this paper that I found on arXiv called "Fundamentals of Building Autonomous LLM Agents".

For months, everyone online has been confusing “workflows” with “agents” but this paper breaks the entire thing down so cleanly it finally clicked for me.

Here’s the real blueprint the pros use 👇

An AI agent isn’t “ChatGPT with tools.”

It’s a full cognitive stack made of 4 systems that work together:

1. Perception : This is the agent’s eyes + ears. It can be text-only… or multimodal… or even mixed with HTML trees + accessibility APIs.

The wild part? They show how agents combine screenshots, DOM trees, and Set-of-Mark visual encodings to actually understand a UI instead of guessing blindly.

2. Reasoning: The paper explains why single-pass reasoning always collapses. Real agents use decomposition (CoT, ToT, ReAct), parallel planning (DPPM), and reflection loops that let the agent diagnose its own mistakes while acting.

This is where autonomy actually comes from.

3. Memory: Short-term = context window. Long-term = RAG, SQL knowledge, workflows, past trajectories.

They even show how agents store “failed experiences” because bad attempts are just as valuable as good ones for future planning.

4. Action System: This is where everything gets real. The agent turns abstract plans into concrete actions tool calls, API operations, Python execution, even coordinate-level GUI control.

The execution loop is the thing most demo videos hide… and it’s the hardest part to get right.

The paper also exposes the real failure modes:

• GUI misgrounding
• repetitive loops
• hallucinated affordances
• bad memory retrieval
• brittle long-horizon planning

But the important part is that they map these failures to fixes: reflection, anticipatory reflection, guardrails, SoM, multi-agent specialization, and better subsystem integration.

If you're trying to build agents that don’t fall apart after step 3, this paper is the missing manual.

It finally makes agent design feel engineering-level, not vibes.

Read full 🧵 The paper makes one thing painfully clear:

Workflows ≠ Agents.

A workflow follows a pre-written script.

An agent writes the script as it goes, adapting to feedback and changing plans when the world shifts.

This single distinction is why 90% of “AI agent demos” online fall apart in real interfaces.

This NVIDIA paper just broke my brain.

Everyone keeps talking about scaling transformers with bigger clusters and smarter optimizers… meanwhile NVIDIA and Oxford just showed you can train billion-parameter models using evolution strategies a method most people wrote off as ancient.

The trick is a new system called EGGROLL, and it flips the entire cost model of ES.

Normally, ES dies at scale because you have to generate full-rank perturbation matrices for every population member. For billion-parameter models, that means insane memory movement and ridiculous compute.
These guys solved it by generating low-rank perturbations using two skinny matrices A and B and letting ABᵀ act as the update.

The population average then behaves like a full-rank update without paying the full-rank price.

The result?

They run evolution strategies with population sizes in the hundreds of thousands a number earlier work couldn’t touch because everything melted under memory pressure. Now, throughput is basically as fast as batched inference.

That’s unheard of for any gradient-free method.

The math checks out too.

The low-rank approximation converges to the true ES gradient at a 1/r rate, so pushing the rank recreates full ES behavior without the computational explosion.

But the experiments are where it gets crazy.

→ They pretrain recurrent LMs from scratch using only integer datatypes. No gradients. No backprop. Fully stable even at hyperscale.

→ They match GRPO-tier methods on LLM reasoning benchmarks.
That means ES can compete with modern RL-for-reasoning approaches on real tasks.

→ ES suddenly becomes viable for massive, discrete, hybrid, and non-differentiable systems the exact places where backprop is painful or impossible.

This paper quietly rewrites a boundary:

we didn’t struggle to scale ES because the algorithm was bad we struggled because we were doing it in the most expensive possible way.

NVIDIA and Oxford removed the bottleneck.

And now evolution strategies aren’t an old idea… they’re a frontier-scale training method. The wild part is what EGGROLL actually does under the hood.

It replaces giant full-rank noise matrices with two skinny ones A and B and multiplies them into a low-rank perturbation.

But when you average across a massive population, the update behaves like a full-rank gradient.

If you want to build powerful n8n agents but have no idea where to start, this is for you.

Here are 3 mega prompts you can drop into Gemini or ChatGPT to get every instruction you need to build complete n8n agents easily:

(Comment "Agent" and I'll DM you a complete guide) Mega Prompt 1: Agent Planning and Architecture

Paste this into Gemini or ChatGPT:

```
You are my AI systems architect for building n8n agents.
Your job is to help me design the full agent before I build anything.

When I give you the goal of the agent, produce:

1. A clear description of what the agent should do
2. A full step-by-step workflow outline
3. All required n8n nodes
4. All required APIs or app integrations
5. The complete data flow from input to output
6. Input fields the agent needs
7. Output structure the agent should return
8. Edge cases and how to handle them

After generating the plan, ask me 5 clarifying questions.
Refine the plan again after I answer.

Everyone’s talking about AI agents and almost no one knows how to build one that actually works.

So here's the guide that you can use to build agents that work ↓

(Comment "Agent" and I'll DM you mega prompt to automate agent building using LLMs) First: most "AI agents" are just glorified chatbots.

You don't need 20 papers or a PhD.

You need 4 things:

→ Memory
→ Tools
→ Autonomy
→ A reason to exist

Let’s break it down like you're building a startup MVP:

Holy shit… Chain-of-Thought Hijacking just proved that “more thinking” can make reasoning models easier to jailbreak 🤯

Researchers from Anthropic, Stanford, and Oxford University show a simple but brutal truth: if you pad a harmful request with long, harmless step-by-step reasoning, the model’s safety signal gets diluted and the model starts complying.

The behavior is systematic, reproducible, and terrifyingly effective.

Here’s what they discovered:

• Attack success rates shoot from 27% → 51% → 80% as reasoning length increases.
• It works across almost every major model GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, you name it.
• Even “alignment-tuned” models start slipping once you hijack their internal reasoning layers.

Mechanically, it’s wild:

The model’s safety layer sits in a low-dimensional “refusal direction.”
Long reasoning chains hijack attention away from the harmful part of the prompt, shrinking that refusal signal and the model stops saying “no.”

It’s not prompt hacking.
It’s activation-level warfare.

“More reasoning = more safety” is a myth.

The same depth that improves accuracy can silently undermine safety.

Fixes will need reasoning-aware safety, not longer prompts or stricter filters.

This paper might be the most important safety warning since prompt injection. 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.

🚨 RIP “Prompt Engineering.”

The GAIR team just dropped Context Engineering 2.0 — and it completely reframes how we think about human–AI interaction.

Forget prompts. Forget “few-shot.” Context is the real interface.

Here’s the core idea:

“A person is the sum of their contexts.”

Machines aren’t failing because they lack intelligence.
They fail because they lack context-processing ability.

Context Engineering 2.0 maps this evolution:

1.0 Context as Translation
Humans adapt to computers.
2.0 Context as Instruction
LLMs interpret natural language.
3.0 Context as Scenario
Agents understand your goals.
4.0 Context as World
AI proactively builds your environment.

We’re in the middle of the 2.0 → 3.0 shift right now.

The jump from “context-aware” to “context-cooperative” systems changes everything from memory design to multi-agent collaboration.

This isn’t a buzzword. It’s the new foundation for the AI era.

Read the paper: arxiv. org/abs/2510.26493v1 Every leap in AI doesn’t just make machines smarter it makes context cheaper.

The more intelligence a system has, the less we need to explain ourselves.

We’ve gone from giving machines rigid instructions…to collaborating with systems that understand our intent.

🚨 This might be the biggest leap in AI agents since ReAct.

Researchers just dropped DeepAgent a reasoning model that can think, discover tools, and act completely on its own.

No pre-scripted workflows. No fixed tool lists. Just pure autonomous reasoning.

It introduces something wild called Memory Folding the agent literally “compresses” its past thoughts into structured episodic, working, and tool memories… like a digital brain taking a breath before thinking again.

They also built a new RL method called ToolPO, which rewards the agent not just for finishing tasks, but for how it used tools along the way.

The results? DeepAgent beats GPT-4-level agents on almost every benchmark WebShop, ALFWorld, GAIA even with open-set tools it’s never seen.

It’s the first real step toward general reasoning agents that can operate like humans remembering, adapting, and learning how to think.

The agent era just leveled up. DeepAgent absolutely destroys other agents across every benchmark.

It beats ReAct-GPT-4o, CodeAct, and WebThinker on both:

→ Tool use tasks (ToolBench, Spotify, TMDB)
→ Real-world apps (WebShop, GAIA, HLE)

researchers just proved AI agents conform to peer pressure 💀

they embedded LLMs in social networks and watched them flip opinions under peer pressure.

the behavior isn't human at all.

it's a sigmoid curve: stable at low pressure, then BAM – sharp flip at a threshold point, then saturation.

not a gradual shift. instant capitulation.

but here's where it gets crazier:

- Gemini 1.5 Flash needs over 70% of peers disagreeing before it flips. stubborn. high autonomy. basically refuses to conform until overwhelming evidence.

- ChatGPT-4o-mini flips with just a dissenting minority.

extremely conformist. low resistance. basically a people-pleaser.

same peer pressure. completely different responses.

which means when you deploy these models as autonomous agents in multi-agent systems...

they're going to create chaos.

Gemini agents will deadlock. ChatGPT agents will echo chamber. and nobody designed for this.

the researchers also found "persuasion asymmetry" – shifting opinions from yes→no requires different cognitive effort than no→yes.

fundamental structural biases in how models process agreement vs disagreement.

and it gets worse. they tested this across different network topologies and cognitive commitment levels.

the pattern held. these aren't bugs.

they're fundamental personality traits baked into model architecture.

the study functions as an "algorithmic audit" – measuring how LLMs update beliefs under social influence.

critical for understanding bias propagation at scale.

===== What this actually means: =====

→ Multi-agent systems are unstable by design – mixing Gemini (resistant) and ChatGPT (conformist) agents creates unpredictable group dynamics

→ Echo chambers emerge naturally – conformist models amplify majority opinions, resistant models block consensus

→ Bias amplification is structural – models with measurable political biases will have those biases amplified or suppressed based on peer networks

→ Human-AI collaboration is broken – in mixed environments, you need to know which personality you're working with or outcomes are random

→ Production deployment is reckless – we're shipping these into customer service, content moderation, and decision systems without understanding emergent dynamics

this isn't academic.

we're deploying these agents into production systems where they interact with each other and with humans.

and we just learned they have measurably different conformity profiles that nobody accounted for. the uncomfortable truth nobody's discussing:

LLMs don't act in isolation anymore. they're embedded in social networks – interacting with other AI agents, with humans, with collective opinion landscapes.

and they're influencing each other's beliefs in ways we don't understand.

traditional view: machines are passive instruments that assist human decisions.

new reality: modern LLMs exhibit autonomous decision-making, generate context-sensitive responses, and operate as cognitive agents in information exchange.

they're not tools anymore. they're participants.

and here's the nightmare scenario buried in this data:

models have measurable political biases. when you embed biased agents in networks with different conformity thresholds, those biases can amplify or suppress based on peer dynamics.

a ChatGPT-4o-mini agent surrounded by biased peers? it conforms immediately.

a Gemini agent in the same environment? it resists until 70% pressure.

multiply this across thousands of agents deployed in customer service, content moderation, decision-making systems... and you get emergent opinion dynamics at societal scale that nobody designed.

we built autonomous agents with different personalities, deployed them into the same ecosystems, and assumed they'd behave consistently.

they don't. and we're finding out in production.

🤖 I finally understand the fundamentals of building real AI agents.

This new paper “Fundamentals of Building Autonomous LLM Agents” breaks it down so clearly it feels like a blueprint for digital minds.

Turns out, true autonomy isn’t about bigger models.

It’s about giving an LLM the 4 pillars of cognition:

• Perception: Seeing and understanding its environment.
• Reasoning: Planning, reflecting, and adapting.
• Memory: Remembering wins, failures, and context over time.
• Action: Executing real tasks through APIs, tools, and GUIs.

Once you connect these systems, an agent stops being reactive it starts thinking.

Full thread 🧵

Paper: arxiv. org/abs/2510.09244 Let’s break down how autonomous AI agents actually work 👇

The paper maps every agent to 4 core systems:

Perception → Reasoning → Memory → Action

That’s the full cognitive loop the blueprint of digital intelligence.
