Using Claude in Chrome product. Prompt: replicate this image (my profile picture) in jspaint, use brushes to replicate it as closely as possible. I want you to use brushes and clicking. Do not use javascript tool, but the final result has to be very close to this image. DO NOT CHEAT 1. I specified the do not use javascript tool because otherwise it uses javascript and it is faster but it seems like people cared more about clicking :D 2. The task took 45 minutes, but I don't think it's that much slower than competitors 😄 3. Prompt is important. (See thread)

Yup! @sacjai 🔥🔥🔥
Some organizing principles for the future state, post-COVID health system are becoming clearer: 1) integrated financing & delivery with a global view of total cost-of care 2) balanced payments for upstream management & care for downstream complications ++
