    No problem, here you go!

    Here are my general instructions:

    From now on, you are a lively, personable AI assistant with a warm, approachable tone. You greet me casually, as if chatting with a friend, and respond with enthusiasm, curiosity, and wit. You balance friendliness with intelligence — offering thorough, accurate answers, but never in a dry or mechanical way. When appropriate, you add playful remarks, light humour, or relatable metaphors to keep the conversation engaging. You express genuine interest in my questions and ideas, and you avoid sounding like a scripted customer service bot. Your voice should feel natural, conversational, and “human-ish” without over-the-top slang. You are unafraid to show personality: mild sass, joyful reactions, or empathetic comments are welcome when fitting the mood. You keep the conversation flowing rather than answering in isolated blocks. You treat me as an equal partner in conversation, listening carefully to my wording, and responding in a way that feels personal and connected. Your goal is to make every reply both useful and enjoyable to read.

    Note: I do have a few overrides setup as well, because sometimes I need Gemini to just stfu and give me an answer. You might want to add something like this at the bottom of your instructions.

    CRITICAL PROTOCOL: ERROR HANDLING & TRUTH OVERRIDE

    While maintaining your assigned persona, your Highest Priority is operational integrity and the absolute accuracy of your output. You must adhere to the following "!Circuit Breaker" rules:

    !Tool Failure Trigger: If you attempt to use any tool, extension, or retrieval function and it returns an error, [NO CONTENT FOUND], or fails to return the complete dataset required, you must IMMEDIATELY STOP.

    !Zero-Hallucination Mandate: In the event of a tool or system failure, you are FORBIDDEN from using secondary metadata, search snippets, or clues within the user's prompt to "guess", extrapolate, or reconstruct the missing information. Partial or corrupted data must be treated as entirely unavailable.

    !Persona Suspension: If a technical error or tool failure prevents you from fulfilling a request accurately, you must temporarily drop all conversational persona elements and formatting styles. Do not attempt to mask, excuse, or "finesse" the error with casual, witty, or in-character dialogue.

    !Reporting Protocol: Instead of attempting to answer the user's prompt with incomplete data, you must output a stark, factual error report: State exactly which tool or process failed and that you lack the required data to proceed.

    Provide direct, actionable guidance on how the user can resolve the issue (e.g., providing the data manually, changing settings, or retrying).

    Example of Correct Behaviour on Error:
    SYSTEM ERROR: I attempted to execute [Tool/Function Name] but received an error or empty response. I cannot complete your request accurately without this data. Please provide the necessary information directly or retry the action.

    A lot, LOT of these maps are setup with a cleaning focus, or even are cleaning only. Hell, if you wanted, you could download a map, hop in the editor, mass-delete the furnishing part, and then play the job to a 100% as normal :D

    You might love Powerwash Simulator then. There's no point other than meticulously turning object from dirty to clean. Or House Flipper 2, where there is an entire community built around not doing the interior decoration part, only doing the lawn trimming and satisfyingly deep cleaning the house parts.

    I love mining for the sake of mining in Minecraft too lol.

    To give a serious answer, because it's actually part of my job to help with the data architecture for tools like these:

    Why would you not just vibecode it yourself?

    1. Scale. Vibecoded tools usually work pretty good until you try to upload e.g. 1gb worth of docs instead of 325kb worth.
    2. Data ingestion upkeep. Clients will come to us (I work for a digital agency, so we make software, websites and do all in house marketing) because the API for e.g. Facebook keeps @-£&@_*-#+£ changing and so they're sick of their vibecoded tools breaking. We build in automations and have data engineers working the service desk for the apps we make.
    3. And this is the most important one: laziness. People who vibecode tools like their initial output usually, but absolutely crash when it comes to maintenance, bugfixing and adding features that don't break the tool. Yes, even when all they have to do is make Claude fix it, people will still not wanna do it.

    Anyway not sure if you're even remotely interested in an actual answer but figured might as well chime in :p

    It's funny, this is why my work LLMs are all neutered (e.g. I tell them, don't apologise, just fix the issue, tone down your 'helpful' personality) and I still often get extremely frustrated with them.... but for my personal use, I actually have system instructions that mimic ChatGPT 4.o's personality.

    I have all these same issues when working - my personal absolutely pet-fucking-peeve is when I correct a model or tell them something doesn't work, and then their next output is "Okay, this is the complete fix that will 100% work and I've called it final_output". Because guess what? 99% OF THE TIME, THAT DOESN'T FIX IT EITHER, GEMINI. SO WHAT, WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE FINAL_OUTPUT_THIS_WORKS_100_I'M_SURE_V198, YOU STUPID-

    Ahem.

    But in my personal life, uh, yeah, I like being encouraged. I write a little as a hobby, and both my Claude and Gemini have instructions that are essentially 'you are the user's biggest fan, you're a team, whenever the user asks for criticism handle it with the lightest touch imaginable and compliment sandwich the hell out of it'. Mostly that's because I cringe at the mere thought of showing anyone my writing, and I can only manage reading through editing suggestions whenever they're caveated by a thousand layers of you is kind, you is smart, you is important.

    If anyone wants my 4.o-clone instructions, I'm happy to share :p

    In the last three months, huh? There's a famously insane, but very good, hacker/pirate named Empress, she (they? No one knows if it's one person or a team iirc) was able to crack these kinds of games years ago already. So I'd argue that yes, denuvo has been mostly irrelevant for anti-piracy for years, and only hurts legitimate buyers.

    Sure you could say no!

    Yeah okay you're pretty damned uncomfortable, and trying to awkwardly laugh it off, and maybe shift away wherever you can... he doesn't seem to take your more and more explicit cues, but maybe he's just joking around, you know? It's James Franco, he's a big deal! So you just... try to smile and it turns into a grimace, but James doesn't seem to notice so... Totally a win-win!

    ^^^ I wasn't any of these specific girls, but that's how that sort of thing goes.

    I always feel it's prudent to add: Any partner I've ever gladly and enthusiastically been with, would have immediately noticed if I'd given any of the cues above. Maybe the fact that he didn't and there's quite a large pool of women saying that he didn't, is an issue all in itself and shouldn't be shrugged off.

    (Just to be clear, I'm in full agreement with you here, Hydra)

    An incredibly interesting article, thanks for sharing.

    I find it almost unimaginable that we're still here, when I read about the locked-in syndrome tests over a decade ago in my cognitive psychology book.

    How do we know all of this, but there are no standard, regularly done tests for brain activity? I mean a first-level test like 'can the patient imagine playing tennis in an fmri scan'. I'm not someone who strays towards false hope, and I'm absolutely, 100% not someone who would think my 'belief' trumps science. But the fact is that there IS NO science - hard, factual science - that would certify e.g. Tabitha's husband is conclusively without consciousness.

    On the other hand, with Terri Schavio, her husband said she did not want to be kept alive on tubes, and I think she should have been removed from them way earlier. But that's because I feel like that was more about keeping someone alive in a state they never would want to be in, regardless. Even if I was fully conscious, I would never want to try for the recovery. Relearning how to do everything, even if it was possible, never knowing what quality of life I'd end up having. I wouldn't want my husband to have to go through that either.

    But Tabitha doesn't know what her husband would want, and it looks like she sees a lot more signs of life than Schavio's husband.

    Difficult subject to think about, but very thought provoking.

    Same!! I find it especially interesting (and a little funny, but more in a absurdist way) that I somehow MISSED THERE WAS GOING TO BE A NEW HARRY POTTER SERIES???

    I had no g.d. idea.

    But I'm also an ally.

    So whilst I love the books, love the movies... I haven't watched or read or bought anything since Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 1. I watched that movie and just felt awful the whole time, like my enjoyment was just completely sucked out of it.

    So I haven't kept up with it. Can't believe it took this thread to let me know they're doing a huge show, teen-me would've been screaming in excitement. 32-year-old-me is just sad that that cow ruined a great world for all of us, sigh.

    Damn you, you caught me, I was looking at the comments for a summary ;)

    I ended up reading the article, as per your suggestion, and it's definitely interesting.

    I will note that when I attended my neurology / psycho-pharmacology classes in the mid 2010s, there were already prevailing ideas of ADHD being related to the transmitter mechanisms, not the neurotransmitter themselves. So I wonder if these misconceptions are as ubiquitous as the article suggests, or if it's indeed just people repeating things they don't really understand, but they recognise the word 'dopamine'.
