Yes, an adventure in public facing bots that can pull from trending feeds, self referential system prompts, minimal guardrails, and that poor fellow Will Stancil.
The absence of guard rails is a good thing - what happened with mechahitler was a series of feature rollouts that combined with Pliny trending, resulting in his latest grok jailbreak ending up in the prompt, followed by the trending mechahitler tweets, and so on. They did a whole lot of new things all at once with the public facing bot, and didn't consider unintended consequences.
I'd rather a company that has a mechahitler incident and laughs it off than a company that pre-emptively clutches pearls on behalf of their customers, or smugly insists that we should just trust them, and that their vision of "safety" is best for everyone.
