Claude’s incessant need to enumerate is my new “Delve”
“From content engagement to product recommendations to long-term customer value, you can recognize and reward partners for all the ways they help grow your business.”
So bad

What are y’all using for background removal these days?I have a large batch of images I need to remove the background from. I’m more than capable of doing it myself (I literally published books on how to do this with GIMP) but it’s tedious and I’m thinking maybe AI can do it.

Today so many of my messages with Claude resulted in it saying “would you like me to do x?”
To which I respond with “yes, please do x”
Then it gives me a bullet point list of things it will do, and says “would you like me to do x?”
Repeatedly, and now I hit my Claude limit from wasted messages. Annoying.

This prompt yielded some really solid copy for Novatorius’ About Page:
The attached document is a conversation I had with ChatGPT about Novatorius’ website. In this, we talk a little bit about how to create the about page for Novatorius.
Some rules:
You must not refer to this as “mine” or “I”. This is is a “we” and “us” thing. This is a business I run, but it’s not “me”.
This should use the golden circle (Why, How, What)
It should keep the nautical themes minimal. It’s tempting to use them but I think in this context it’ll be tacky.
Avoid saying “status quo”
I really want you focus heavily on what we believe. This page should capture the “about us” mostly through those beliefs. Nearly everything in this page should talk about beliefs, tenants, and values.
I do not want you to mention anything that even remotely suggests what we do. That is not the purpose of this page. This should be all about encapsulating the spirit of what Novatorius is.

Settling into a routine.
Use ChatGPT to have a conversation and get the stuff out of my head.
Use Claude to discuss that discussion, disseminate key details, and extract what I need from it.

One thing I really like about Claude is that it extracts long responses as documents. Makes it a lot easier to extract key things from the conversation.

The most powerful AI prompt I have in my arsenal:
“I want you to interview me, asking one question at a time about {thing}. I have the information about {thing}in my head, but need your help extracting and organizing it.”
Then, after all questions are asked, I ask Chat to put it into a report.
It’s such a powerful way to get info out of your head, and you can do it with voice chat while walking.

Today I learned that there’s a whisper-based transcription plugin for Audacity. This is great! No longer need to use the command line when transcribing my audio.
