> faux transparency

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.

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.
