I Used the Most Powerful AI on Earth for Two Minutes
I used the most powerful AI ever released to the public for about two minutes before the government forced it offline mid-task, and it returned to institutions first and the rest of us last, capped and metered. Access can move backward now, and skill is the one lever they cannot switch off.
Steal My Prompt Vol. 41: The Objectives and Key Results Pressure-Tester
Your OKRs look sharp in the doc, then one leader asks one question and the whole set folds. This prompt plays that skeptical approver before the meeting does, attacking your draft on relevance, measurability, ambition, and the tradeoff nobody wants to name.
Volume 40: You Do Not Need to Code, You Need to Decide What to Build
Claude seems to remember you on Monday morning, but that continuity is two separate systems, not one: a running summary of who you are, now free, and the paid ability to search a specific past chat. Knowing which is which is the whole game.

Steal My Prompt Vol. 40: The Memo Editor

Volume 39: AI Got the Keys to Your Refills but Not Your Denials
A daily ChatGPT user of two years spent one week inside Claude's free version. Long documents fit whole, the usage limits hit faster than expected, and the real lesson was which tool fits which task, not which one wins.
Healthcare's AI Rules Govern One Job That Was Always Two
In one state, an AI agent can renew prescriptions but cannot deny anyone's care. After a decade in specialty pharmacy, I see why: prior authorization was always two jobs, paperwork and clinical judgment, and the new laws keep regulating the word instead of the work.
Steal My Prompt Vol. 39: The Medical Bill Auditor
The bill says you owe four hundred dollars; the insurer's EOB for the same visit says sixty. Paste both into this prompt and it reconciles them line by line, flags every place the bill overcharges, and drafts the questions for the billing office.
