I would really, really like to see the prompts used for this next to each article. Since "The Algorithm" at Twitter was supposed to be open sourced, surely that wouldn't be controversial. And I genuinely do find it absolutely fascinating and somewhat shocking how LLMs can follow such long and complex prompts and respond so well.

  It would be genuinely interesting to know if it was that generic or if it had special sauce for certain subjects. For example, Ask Grok allegedly uses this system prompt: https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/blob/main/ask_grok_system_prompt.j2 https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/blob/main/ask_grok_s... Which does seem very neutral. So then then question is have they encoded bias at a much deeper level directly in the training data or what? A contrarian might say that maybe is really is unbiased and we're so used to the Woke Left that reality sounds right-wing. To which I'd say it seems unlikely that Goering gets an "Economic Achievements" section, Goebbels gets "Intellectual Contributions" and none of Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela nor Martin Luther King have any positive-sounding top level section. I also do not think that the oddly semantically empty sign off from Reinhard Heydrich is a fair extract of the article that it cites as a source: > Ultimately, while atrocities are verifiably tied to his commands, the net efficiency in quelling domestic threats arguably prolonged Nazi governance, a trade-off debated in terms of causal realism versus moral absolutism.[20](https://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/h-heydrich.htm https://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/h-heydrich....)

    > moral absolutism I have a personal rule that whenever someone starts to whinge about moral relativism when talking about Nazi's it's pretty safe to just assume they're either Nazi's or Nazi-adjacent. I think it's fair to include AI's in that rule.
