<p>Published 2 June 2025</p>
<p>e516 with Michael and Michael &#8211; AI prompts, browsers, model collapse & automation along with a teeny tiny pico Mac nano, and a whole lot more.</p>
<p>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.&nbsp; This leads into a discussion on prompt engineering, and how solutions like Ollama allow users to download LLMs and create their own prompts.&nbsp; After a quick sidebar on AI browsers like Opera, the team takes a look at Sky, an AI automation app.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Then, the team turns to a story on AI model collapse.&nbsp; And next up is a blog post about consenting to updated terms and conditions.</p>
<p>Round things off for this episode, Michael and Michael enjoy a teeny tiny Mac classic &#8211; the Pico Mac Nano &#8211; a new take on 3D monitors and a local North Carolina story about Pokemon card game competitions.</p>
<p>What would you want to run on a Pico Mac Nano?&nbsp; Sky’s the limit!&nbsp; Have your bots 🤖 drop our bots 🤖 a line at @gamesatwork_biz@mastodon.social (our home for now) and let us know!&nbsp;</p>
<p>These show notes were lovingly hand crafted by a real human, and not by a bot.&nbsp; All rights reserved.&nbsp; That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.</p>
