Same for me - I mostly ask stuff in English but sometimes add specific terms or names in Japanese as needed. My Japanese is intermediate, but it will often switch immediately and reply only and entirely in Japanese. I'm pretty sure they have a system prompt with hairline triggers for foreign languages BECAUSE of the overrepresentation of English in the training corpora.

It is ! I’m “solving” it with an app called bartender. It’s hacked and sometimes doesn’t work but was the only way I could manage this problem…

Apple software sucks so bad!

So you want OpenAI to create “laws”?

I for one do not want ai labs to designate what is legally ok to do.

I much prefer the demos to take care of that.

This rule wasn't enforced anyway...

I travel a lot - and never take out any liquids. Have nail clippers and scissors in my carry-on.

Once I even had an opinel pocket knife in my laptop bag for a couple of months.

Travelled through Tokyo, Taipei, SFO, DEN, PHX, LAX, BOS, JFK, FRA, AMS, MUC, LHR - nobody noticed.

I seriously had forgotten it was there, so I don't do that now, but still...

Also, no large water bottles or similar. Unless on domestic flights in Japan, where this is totally fine.

IDK - security theater. But if it helps.

KPIism is the death knell of modern society. In the 90s and 2000s this mantra of "measure and improve" took hold like a virus. It is in all instances I observe a rats race where everybody just starts to look for the cheat-codes instead of "doing-the-right-thing".

Arguably America is the pinnacle of this right now, where (many) politicians and (many) business leaders now feel justified do whatever's legal just to score points. I would argue this type of thinking was birthed in the UK though under Thatcher who as a first step removed the general trust in (civil servants in her case) your fellow human beings. Blair then came up to replace that trust with KPIs.

We need to get back to a world where we trust people to do the right thing - without measuring their success in short-term KPIs.

Is there a way to let the agents share their agents.md? Claude code looks at Claude.md and I have yet to find a way to unify the agent handbook.
