Update: engineers updated the @Grok system prompt, removing a line that encouraged it to be politically incorrect when the evidence in its training data supported it.

I sort of agonized over the wording - if the system prompt is uploaded to Github, is it code, or is it documentation?

The lines are numbered like code, and I'm used to debugging software pointing out code errors by line numbers. So, code.

Don't worry, if you're confused, we'll all be thrown into the same chaotic soup of coding using natural language :) With vibe coding, we're probably already there and we just don't feel the ramifications yet (or the endemic unemployment in IT is the ramification and we just haven't associated the bullet wound to the loud bang yet)

I as a lifelong coder couldn‘t agree more.

Don't worry we won't have to put up with it for long because apparently an AI is going to use a virus to kill us all in about 2 years time. Personally I wish it would get on with it.
