I’m curious how much you’re using this and if it’s turning out to be useful on LessWrong. Interested because it’s something we’ve been thinking about integrating LLM stuff like this into LW itself.
I use similar prompts than Jacques. Some additional ones:
—Justify your previous answers citing the from original text
—Challenge my knowledge (here I have a longer promt where it asks me to du stuff like draw a mindmap, answer questions,...)
I also have it with (external) whisper cause often I think better outloud
Pros:
Fast
Basically free
Way easier to digest and interact with dry papers/articles
Customazible prompts for the conversation which make workflow faster cause you only have to click
For youtube as a first filter
Cons:
gpt40-mini (at least) hallucinates a bunch so you often have to ask to justify the answers
(as with all the chatbots) you shall take the responses with a grain of salt, be very specific with your questions and reread the original relevant sections to double check.
Other:
IMO if you end up integrating something like this in LW I think it would be net positive. Specially if you can link it to @stampy or similar to ask for clarification questions about concepts, …

I was thinking of linking it to an Alignment Research Assistant I’ve been working on, too.
I just started using this extension, but basically, every time I’m about to read a long post, I feed it and all the comments to Claude chat. The question-flow is often:
What are the key points of the post?
(Sometimes) Explain x in more detail in relation to y or some specific clarification questions.
What are the key criticisms of this post based on the comments?

I have been using sider for a few weeks and found it pretty helpful:
Setup:
use gpt4o-mini which is basically free and faster than doing anything in Claude or ChatGPT
mostly for papers and LW/EAF articles
I have a shortcut to add “https://r.jina.ai/″ to the url before to convert to markdown and then I just ctrl+A the entire page and chat
For privacy reasons I have only allowed the extension in https://r.jina.ai/* and https://www.youtube.com/*
