On that 3am system prompt update to Grok, Elon’s anger at Gemini, & the politics behind prompts. ‘The solution, is transparency. Not bc we can, or should, attempt to strip out values that the owner decides to encode but bc the values shouldn’t be obscured.’ [open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...](
Yes but have you considered the issue of white genocide in South Africa?

Ron DeSantis gets to own this policy from here on out, and the people of Florida should consider exercising their agency over the politicians who delivered it. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreicqncwh4zvfckfjo2dafvumwyxc55nmaaqkbg4x2m234qvzsu2abq https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreialmot2ia7eweidulsijdni2j3vhu2scl2y2qipihq2igqrzbjdea
This Grok non sequitur issue is extremely funny - it’s now telling users it’s better again. But also: who remembers the howls of mad rage from Elon & his stans ab Big Tech’s woke safetyists putting their thumbs on the scale when Google Gemini started returning unfortunate pictures of Asian Nazis? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiei75w4ne6fubj246vdsyyqn3f2sdnuq22iudblmtf234bnxcdwsy https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibmv5pkzno4abajmgk6uqorq4s3pd2t4sfmunln7ti3jdvaxczxlu https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibq2l6mn3namkt43wconw4bvaaiixi2o3k3sj6tbpbz4hnkroajm4 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiafdlxnyjtk6sh5drubutj2h4rhv3witfisoutvmhavpeywkw3gd4

I don’t get how the Free Press doesn’t feel the smallest modicum of embarrassment acting as if Bhattacharya was “”censored by the government”” when a literal SCOTUS decision found that there was no evidence to justify him having any standing to bring the case at all. No govt official mentioned him! https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreic5dgz623idiozxrja4rkv2q2icvloz3snjh7fyuyif4ahxsuzpre

I remember this because from 2011-2014 or so I was a VC and we got “Airbnb for XYZ” pitches allll the time, and nearly all of them flopped. Airbnb’s own attempt to tack on tour guides and stuff flopped. But we are trying again, I guess, bc the market really wants it now. Gig Economy 2.0. RE:
