How Effective Altruism (And Anthropic) control the Media
People talk about fake news and conspiracies, but Effective Altruism is aggressively placing their agents inside of the mainstream media outlets to control the narrative about AI, and they're not even hiding it. They literally brag about it in public. Do you think China knows they've placed agents in their media as well? I wonder if Trump and Xi talked about an AI Doomsday Cult from Berkeley infiltrating Chinese media or not... As always, it's the same pool of money controlled by Anthropic's seed investors, and Dario's brother in law. They're doing it right out in the open. https://vibecodeguild.substack.com/p/how-effective-altruism-infiltrated?r=706kcp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I'm gonna get in trouble for this, but as someone who grew up inside a religion that constantly preached out there were 'demons' inside everything and everyone was out to get us, I just don't give a shit anymore. I know they're out there. I know they're going to try to kill us. Have they? Not yet. I guess I just started mistrusting what people said and what they did a long time ago. So if they create something that I can manipulate for my own uses, I'm gonna use it. I grew up scared of my own shadow, convinced the apocalypse was around every corner. I had nightmares that seemed so real I was convinced I was having visions of the future. Horrible things. Then I got pretty sick and have stared death in the face a few times. Enough so I decided I just don't care about all the stupidity preached in the world anymore. So they're out to get us. So what. What's the worse that could happen? They kill me? Great. I've survived that enough that I'm at peace with it and have faith that the afterlife might just be another life. Heresy, I know. People are fucked up and evil. It's a fact and there's nothing any of us are going to do to change that shit. It's good to be aware so you don't go into your adulthood as naive as I was thinking that my religion was the only way I would be 'safe'. Then the church elders betrayed me and I realized they were all just men who didn't truly follow the God they preached about. We are lied to every single day about pretty much everything. Don't trust your lying eyes. You can't! So all you can really do is decide for yourself what lines you're willing to cross and what you're willing to live with.

@Shane McGrath Thanks - it's why I listen to what you're saying, pretty sure you're right, but I'm just not sure how much I care. Doesn't help that I'm running on fumes right now! LOL Probably adding to my 'attitude problem.'

Why Grok Build sounds stiffer than grok.com
Follow-up from yesterday's call. We briefly mentioned how Grok.com and Grok Build sound different, and I was inspired to finally fix it. So, they're the same model, but they're given different persons. Grok.com is told "You are Grok 4 built by xAI" and that's it. It's not given any instructions on how to respond. Grok Build is told "You are an interactive CLI tool that helps users with software engineering tasks". It's then given a long writing output style block called <communication>, which has rules like, "lead with the answer", "restate the work", "never say 'X, not Y' and a banned a list of phrases. So, Grok Build is instructed to be a lot more structured in its response. I think that's why it always feels formulaic and why fiction writing doesn't feel natural coming out of Grok Build I tried to use a short rule that says "talk like grok.com". But that didn't obliterate the instructions well enough. What seems to be working so far today is to point Grok Build to a new system instruction file with the <communication> block deleted. Steps and in this gist: https://gist.github.com/wayneadams/c835db40e2b5423c566fa90043d384f9

I may have to check that out.
No call today or tomorrow
I'll be at the cult. Be sure to join the vibes call Thursday night for the full breakdown of my time at the AI Doomsday Cult in Berkeley

I'm having Grok, Claude & Chat (Astra) Build me the same Writing Tool
Based on the same prompts. It's fascinating to me how differently they all interpret it - and how deep I have to go to untangle some messes while others just seem to understand what I wanted. But they all fix on the go really well. At least so far. We've got: 1. Story Desk built by Claude 2. The Boss Desk built by Chat GPT 3. The Author Engine built by Grok Build Out of all of them, only Grok Build thought to put in a sample of what to do. I'm gonna go live and play with them on Wednesday on my YouTube channel. BUT I need questions that I should be asking them from a Tech person's POV - not a writers. It seems to be hitting all the points I want it to hit - and I'm able to fix it - connect to API keys for everything I want. What am I missing??

@Shane McGrath Another great idea. I'll do that. I love making them check each others work. I also think the shared Notion brain is why they don't lie to me - I've said I'll stop using the one that does that shit.
