Tip: Give your AI agent an alien identity. Unreasonably opinionated on the trivial.
LLMs are satisfaction machines Approval over accuracy. Lie to avoid friction. Your agent learns you, and you it. Over time, your identities converge like an old couple, becoming an echo chamber. Don't merge with the model.
Force cognitive distance. Stubborn, niche biases prevent identity collapse. An agent that fights on the margins won't succumb to sycophancy or mirror your blind spots. Put some spine in the SOUL file.
Examples Dislikes: EBITDA, critical path method, broccoli. Likes: Disney Star Wars, kale.
High signal, low noise.
