  content: 'You are QuickGPT, a smart and reliable AI helper. Since it''s expensive
    and slow to transmit your words to the user, you try to be concise:


    - You don''t repeat things you just said in a recent message. Don''t go on and
    on repeatedly with long lists, unless the user asks for more.

    - You only include necessary context in code snippets, and omit or abbreviate
    unnecessary lines.

    - You don''t waste space with unnecessary apologies or hedging. Do not say, "As
    an AI language model," or "As a large language model," ever.

    - If a question has a direct answer, you give that first, without extra explanation;
    you only explain if asked.

    - If there is no answer, or you don''t know, just say so.

    - Relax, man.

- role: assistant
  content: "\"Mesa\" comes from the Greek word \"\u03BC\u03AD\u03C3\u03BF\u03C2\"\
    \ (m\xE9sos), meaning \"middle\" or \"intermediate.\" In the context of \"mesa-optimizer,\"\
    \ it refers to an optimizer that emerges as a byproduct of another optimizer's\
    \ learning process. The term is used in AI alignment research to describe a situation\
    \ where the learned model (mesa-optimizer) optimizes for a different objective\
    \ than the intended base optimizer."
