      Ah yes, an “unauthorized modification”. It must have been the janitor pressing buttons accidentally while mopping the mainframe room.

      I wonder who could have easily done that. I would say a white Afrikan with a nazi and AI obsession but this would be a totally ridiculous statement.

      Interesting. As poorly as I think of X as an organization, I do hope they follow through with their open system prompt commitment. That’s something that other major AI companies should be doing too.
