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 just wanted to try the sad "it's insane" AI guy trope, and wouldn't you know....it works

I've been going deep down the rabbit hole of these people, and I want to go experience it from the inside. This is going to be insane! https://www.agi.wtf/

I've been sleeping on this tool. It's super easy if you're just doing your first project and want to get something launched quickly without a bunch of headaches

I've been doing a deep dive into Anthropic and where they got their money, and more importantly, where it will go after the IPO. I will never give another cent to this company, and I'm hoping more will boycott them too. At the end of the day, you gotta make your own choice, but if any of this resonates with you, please drop a comment on youtube and give me a thumbs up so this can spread
