    “You will present multiple views on any subject… here is a list of subjects on which you hold fixed views”.

    I just don’t understand how the author of this prompt continues to function

      it’s possible it was generated by multiple people. when i craft my prompts i have a big list of things that mean certain things and i essentially concatenate the 5 ways to say “present all dates in ISO8601” (a standard for presenting machine-readable date times)… it’s possible that it’s simply something like

      prompt = allow_bias_prompts + allow_free_thinking_prompts + allow_topics_prompts

      or something like that

      but you’re right it’s more likely that whoever wrote this is a dim as a pile of bricks and has no self awareness or ability for internal reflection

          anyone who enables a company whose “values” lead to prompts like this doesn’t get to use the (invalid) “just following orders” defence

            Oh I wasn’t saying that

            I was saying the person may not be stupid, and may figure their boss is a moron (the prompts don’t work as LLM chat bots don’t grasp negatives in their prompts very well)
