Another lame excuse and some faux transparency to go with it.

Yep, this isn't the first time they've made this play. Remember when they open sourced the X/Twitter algorithm in the name of transparency-maxxing? Those repos haven't been updated for nearly two years now.

The repo has served its intended purpose: his legion of bizarre fans can now say "it's open source" and brag about his transparency

Call me cynical but this smells like a PR stunt to get people talking about how much controlling the system prompt matters to everyone’s interaction with assistants.
Most people wouldn’t give it a second thought unless something like this happened and it’s now plain to see how quickly they can be (poorly) manipulated.
Regardless of what one thinks about Mr Musk, this is very good move and ethical thing to do and I hope other LLMs would follow the lead

This was interesting: "Grok 3's BigBrain mode is not publicly available." - What is "BigBrain"?

It's a private version of Grok that can query the US Social Security database to locate fertile Elon Musk fans with desirable genes. /s

Pretty basic stuff that you'd been in a blog post from 2022.

"We need to feign some transparency and release something. Quick, sanitize the instructions and put something on a repo, doesn't need to be exactly what's in production."

Similar to what they did to the X/twitter open source algorithm (which hasn't been updated in 2 years)

I know this is fake but I like that it puts pressure on openai etc to be more transparent.

Quite a biased dataset you have there...

No mention of the "white genocide" story aka why they need to whitewash their system prompt and are releasing this. They were quite efficient in covering it up.

Elon claims that was done by an "unauthorized employee"
I believe that as much as I believe it when a politician says it was an "overzealous intern"
