mAIn Street #135: Runway's New AI Video Model Beats Sora, Veo; Trump Gets Pushback on Data Centers from His Own Voters; College Students Forsaking Computer Science for AI; Live Resume Updates Your CV Via AI in Real-Time


DECEMBER 3, 2025

Today, I've got some fascinating threads on prompt techniques and some specific ones that you can try for yourself.

We also take a look at the news, which features the Gen 4.5 model from Runway that's currently making waves for replacing Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 Pro at the top of the benchmarks.

That, an AI tool that updates your resume in real-time, and so much more. Let's get going:

  • PromptCraft: Discussions for How to Best Structure Prompts; Math and Physics Learning Prompts; and Vocab Question Generator Prompt
  • THE HEADLINES: ​​Runway's New AI Video Model Beats Sora, Veo; Trump Gets Pushback on Data Centers from His Own Voters; College Students Forsaking Computer Science for AI; Amazon's Rufus AI Drives Black Friday Sales

PROMPTS: Discussions for How to Best Structure Prompts; Math and Physics Learning Prompts; and Vocab Question Generator Prompt

  • Prompt Library Idea Focused on Context Metadata: Post explores whether the real problem with saving prompts isn’t storage but missing context like industry, audience, tone, and objective. The author is validating a tool idea and asks how others document prompt context so they can reliably reuse high-performing prompts.
  • Three-Layer Prompt Structure for Stable AI Workflows: Author argues most “AI productivity systems” fail because users dump everything into one mega‑prompt. Their fix: separate a stable rules layer, a changeable task layer, and a runtime chat layer. This architecture keeps tone and constraints consistent while letting tasks evolve without polluting your core system.
  • COREX Class P Multi-Layer Prompt System: COREX Class P is a four‑layer prompt framework: Red for input diagnosis and cleanup, Blue for strategic structure, Green for content production, Yellow for task/checklist outputs. The post shares detailed manuals, codes, and sample prompts built around a Hugo Boss “Bottled Night” perfume campaign.
  • Math and Physics Learning Prompts from Quotes: Open‑source GitHub repo collecting math and physics learning prompts built from quotes by Pólya, Grothendieck, Gauss, Poincaré and others. Each quote becomes one or more concrete prompts that encourage simplification, multiple approaches, intuition‑first explanations, decomposition, and reflective “look back” phases when studying technical topics.
  • Designing GRE-Style Vocab Question Generator Prompt: OP shares a highly detailed prompt spec for generating GRE‑style text completion sets from a custom vocab bank, including constraints for blank patterns, randomized answer orders, distribution of 1–3‑blank questions, formatting, and a separate answer‑key PDF. Thread highlights how complex prompt‑design can break models’ consistency.

Live Resume Updates Your CV Via AI in Real-Time

Live Resume rethinks the idea of a “final” CV by making every resume you send self‑updating. When you create a Live Resume, it generates both a PDF and a public URL; each PDF quietly includes metadata and a tracking pixel that pulls in your latest profile whenever someone opens or scans it.

That means one change—new role, fresh project, updated skills—automatically propagates to every version you’ve already shared, while still staying 100% ATS-readable for applicant tracking systems. It’s a clever fit for people whose experience evolves faster than they can keep up with manual resume versions.
