- Just a reminder that if a particular LLM is demonstrably manipulable, output from that very same LLM should not be regarded as reliable just because it seems likely. Every prompt is not independently likely to be true. The epistemic credibility of the entire enterprise is shot.
- Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers." x.com/i/grok?conve...
- Never once in my life have I ever felt the urge to begin a sentence "Speaking of the Jews..."

- Just mistyped 'a part' as 'apart' and blew my own mind. Like, what!? It's like a typographical onomatopea!
