You guys remember when Elon promised to do that with the Twitter algorithm and conveniently forgot to update it after his grand gesture of transparency?

Pepperidge Farm remembers: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm

What happened here, I don’t have an x account, what was the incident they referenced?

I don't see how making the source code public is helpful if there's a "{{custom_instructions}}" variable that can be inserted. It's not as if people are upset that "white genocide" was hard-coded into the prompt instead of being passed as a template variable.

In retrospect, hiring PW Botha was perhaps a mistake.

Another Grok post flagged. Surprise surprise.

The trust is already broken. They can claim they will open source the system prompt all they want but there's no point in believing what they say. Elon clearly does what Elon wants to do.
