    Anthropic has published the default system prompts for its AI chatbot, Claude.

    The company now has a “System Prompts” page on its release notes website where it plans to log changes, according to Anthropic’s Alex Albert.

    Reading the notes, I learned that Claude 3.5 Sonnet tries to avoid apologizing for requests it can’t or won’t perform.

    More Sea of Stars.

    Last year’s Chrono Trigger-esque RPG, Sea of Stars, is getting a free DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker, in spring 2025 on PC and consoles.

    I really liked the game when I played it last year, so I’m excited to jump back into the game’s world when the DLC comes out.

    Gmail on Android has a new way to quickly reply to emails.

    Just scroll to the bottom of your email, tap on the text box to start drafting your reply, and then tap the send icon to send it off, according to a Google blog post.

    The new quick reply experience is live now on personal Google accounts. It’s coming to iOS “later this year,” Google says.
