Anthropic engineer's '4 types of ambition' guide: stop asking a rocket for France's capital
petesena · x · 2026-10-26
petesena highlights what he calls the best guide he's read on being more ambitious with AI, written by Anthropic engineer Felix Rieseberg — you're paying $200/month yet asking a rocket what the capital of France is. The guide maps four levels of ambition: Speed (same work, less time), Altitude (ask for the goal behind the goal), Depth (work like the top expert, use real tools, outside judges), and Range (turn the noun into a verb, bring in unrelated fields). Follow-up posts in the thread expand each with concrete prompts.
