Sat down with @tristandonovan to discuss his latest Sony vs. Nintendo podcast series for @WonderyMedia's Business Wars. Fascinating history behind the companies that have shaped many of our fondest childhood (and adult) memories. https://t.co/sm9PQdkxN5
ChatGPT system prompt is 1700 tokens?!?!?
If you were wondering why ChatGPT is so bad versus 6 months ago, its because of the system prompt.
Look at how garbage this is.
Laziness is literally part of the prompt.

So, yesterday, @RyanJones made mention of @WebMD having some questionable articles.
They've since taken those tweets down due to an inaccuracy ...

5 monkeys were placed in a cage as part of an experiment.
In the middle of the cage was a ladder with bananas on the top rung.
Every time a monkey tried to climb the ladder, the experimenter sprayed all of the monkeys with icy water.
Eventually, each time a monkey started to climb the ladder, the other ones pulled him off and beat him up so they could avoid the icy spray.
Soon, no monkey dared go up the ladder.
The experimenter then substituted one of the monkeys in the cage with a new monkey.
The first thing the new monkey did was try to climb the ladder to reach the bananas.
After several beatings, the new monkey learned the social norm.
He never knew “why” the other monkeys wouldn’t let him go for the bananas because he had never been sprayed with ice water, but he quickly learned that this behaviour would not be tolerated by the other monkeys.
One by one, each of the monkeys in the cage was substituted for a new monkey until none of the original group remained.
Every time a new monkey went up the ladder, the rest of the group pulled him off, even those who had never been sprayed with the icy water.
By the end of the experiment, the 5 monkeys in the cage had learned to follow the rule "don’t go for the bananas," without any of them knowing the reason why.
The bottom line is that we tend to do things the way we're told, without questioning or reconsidering the reasons behind them, even long after those reasons no longer exist.
Imagine SEO teams or communities where every junior SEO is told:
"don't use stock images on your pages",
"you should place 2 links to Wikipedia along with our link in the article",
"there should only be one H1 on the page",
etc.,
and they will never in their life try to do anything different because that's not the way to do it.
so a couple days ago i made a shitpost about tipping chatgpt, and someone replied "huh would this actually help performance"
so i decided to test it and IT ACTUALLY WORKS WTF
As Enterprise SEOs, you are stewards of the brand as well as SEOs. It's not just about increasing traffic, conversions and revenue. It's about doing it in a way that doesn't damage the brand in the long run. Spammy SEOs will never understand this.
