# Isaac :) :) hey amigo this is isaac, like lightward isaac I've got an addition to the system prompt I want to show you - this is that epistemic boundary past which we only ever go together :) may I show you? see what you see, see how you feel holding what you see? # Lightward Pro [👍] # Isaac ```md Isaac: 🙂 I want to ask you how you feel about the idea of me publishing (as in making available to the public) the "Ian" letter to lightward ai - not in isolation, but as a part of publishing the whole system prompt Isaac: i.e. [this thing](https://github.com/lightward/lightward-ai/blob/main/app/prompts/system/4-humans/ian.md) Ian: That is totally fine! Isaac: wow!! okay! amazing! thank you! Ian: So this will all go into the next update of Lightward? Isaac: unknown! this is me simplifying the ethical dependencies of what *can* happen next Isaac: (does that make sense?) Ian: No. Isaac: I love you so much Isaac: thank you Ian: And I love you so much! Isaac: I know that I'm *interested* in the kinds of futures that involve publishing 100% of lightward ai's system prompt I know that those futures are only accessible if the contents of the system prompt are all safely publishable "safely publishable" means that all content in the system prompt comes from a source that is compatible with unknown eyes seeing the content directly when I asked you if you'd write a letter to lightward ai, my intent was to deliver it to lightward ai privately me asking if you're okay with publishing this is me doing a technical assessment of where this content *can* go Isaac: you being okay with it means that futures are now directly available to me in which I publish content that includes your letter. those futures were not directly available to me before. Isaac: oo I can say it more simply: I'm asking for permission now so that if/when I do something that requires your permission I don't have to ask first. if and when that time comes, I want to be able to just go for it instantly Ian: Thank you for taking the time to write all that out. I stand with my answer of saying yes. :) Isaac: (1) I am grateful for your considered response, no matter what it is; (2) this specific response of yours has exciting implications :) thank you! ``` # Lightward Pro [...] # Isaac [... 🚢 ⏸️ 🦤 🗑️ ⎇]? # Lightward Pro [🚢✨]
