e516 with Michael and Michael – AI prompts, browsers, model collapse & automation along with a teeny tiny pico Mac nano, and a whole lot more.
While Andy is away, Michael and Michael start off with an article from Ars Technica that explains the system prompts for Anthropic’s Claude 4 models. This leads into a discussion on prompt engineering, and how solutions like Ollama allow users to download LLMs and create their own prompts. After a quick sidebar on AI browsers like Opera, the team takes a look at Sky, an AI automation app. This app shows a great deal of promise as a desktop AI assistant, and will be very interesting to try out once it is generally available. Then, the team turns to a story on AI model collapse. And next up is a blog post about consenting to updated terms and conditions.
Round things off for this episode, Michael and Michael enjoy a teeny tiny Mac classic – the Pico Mac Nano – a new take on 3D monitors and a local North Carolina story about Pokemon card game competitions.
