These ads run the risk of ruining the user’s experience. The only reason I can tolerate this is because I’m running NextDNS – thanks to all of the good advice on this forum; otherwise, I would not have been aware of the app.

I have decided to move forward with Claude Teams for my IT department, my executive assistant, and members of my senior leadership team. This will serve as a pilot project as we increasingly integrate AI into our systems and develop our school philosophy and benchmarks for AI use consistent with our philosophy of education and pedagogy. This should be an instructive pilot.

i’ve tried claude 3x over 18 months. each time with colossal failures.
#1 - excited about promises, but refused to access the internet for live search. FAIL
#2 - again excited about promises, macOS native app trips over its own auth every 5 seconds. FAIL.
#3 - endorsements from colleagues and excitement again. nope. just as intermittent as ever. and the token cost is off the scale. #notgonnadoit
see you in six.

i use VPN and that apparently isn’t one of the use cases they test for.
the stability of the thing feels like a house of cards on top of a hill – the slightest breeze, and poof.

GEMINI 3.
I do need to put one foot back into g**gle since apple is boxing gemini3 into Siri. UGG. oh how i hate everything about evil-G.
it’s a long play by apple.
eventually they’ll buy openai for $0.01/$1.00 and we’ll be back on track.

I am not challenging you at all, but this has not been my experience. That may be because I use a default prompt as a supplement for any work of consequence. My prompt is below. Note: I use Claude Projects and Gemini Gems, each with detailed instructions in addition to my prompts. I use text replacement to insert the following instructions:

  2. Confirm you have reviewed and will follow all instructions completely and without exception before proceeding.

  4. Do not make assumptions. Ask clarifying questions when intent or requirements are unclear.

  6. Follow all instructions exactly. Do not deviate or omit any instruction in this prompt or in Project or Gem instructions.
