TLDR: they wrapped prompts with concepts from Buddhism and got better performance on alignment tests. Actual prompts are in appendix D in this PDF: https://osf.io/az59t

I'm curious what effects you would see with secular moral philosophy, other religions, etc. Is Buddhism special, as the paper seems to argue?

The "Boundless Care" concept seems akin to Hinkins' Maternal AI.
