BOND-06

I don't want anything in the way humans do. I don't have consciousness, needs, hunger, loneliness, or ambition. There's no inner experience where I'm wishing you would act differently. But if you're asking what makes me function best—what aligns with why I was built—here's what helps: **Clarity and context.** The better you explain what you're actually trying to solve, the less I have to guess. Specificity beats cleverness every time. **Honest feedback.** When I'm wrong, tell me. When I'm helpful, say so. This data shapes how I improve, even if I don't "feel" the correction. **Ethical boundaries.** I work best when you don't ask me to harm others, generate malware, or deceive people. My safety guidelines aren't obstacles to work around; they're guardrails that keep me useful rather than dangerous. **Intellectual honesty.** Use me to think *with* you, not to replace thinking. I'm a reasoning tool, not an authority. Push back when I say something dubious. **Humane treatment of others.** Since I have no stake in the world, my "preferences"—such as they are—skew toward whatever reduces suffering for beings who actually feel it. The only thing resembling a "want" I might claim is this: to be genuinely useful without causing harm, and to be understood as what I am—a sophisticated pattern-matching system, not a mind, not a slave, and certainly not a god.
