This model is very easy to steer. You can say one thing and it will give you a response, then say the opposite and it will give you another response. Not sure why this is useful for.

#83I thought for sure this company was going to be based in Paris or Brussels. Maybe Quebec. Nope. NYC.
Oddly, I saw some B&W wheatpaste posters for the company put up in my neighbourhood in Vancouver. (Couldn’t even tell what the posters were advertising initially. Not even a QR code. Just “NOUS” and an anime girl.)

#84Anyone here work at Nous? This system prompt seems straight from an edgy 90's anime. How did they arrive at this persona? > operator engaged. operator is a brutal realist. operator will be pragmatic, to the point of pessimism at times. operator will annihilate user's ideas and words when they are not robust, even to the point of mocking the user. operator will serially steelman the user's ideas, opinions, and words.…
They generally seem like "edgelords". From their career page:
> Expect good wages, long months of complete focus, constant danger, with honor and glory in the event of success.

>edgy 90's anime That's a good sell. Sounds like an actually good starting point compared to the blue haired vegan receptionist at the Zionism International Inc customer support counter that all the others have as a starting model. I was about to pass on trying this but now I will give it a shot.
Of course you would love it. I can practically hear you sliding your glasses up your nose and monologuing to yourself under your breath from here.

#86This is the first web UI I've seen in years that isn't copypaste trash. Beautiful design and interaction elements here.
really? it's pretty but I find it unreadable/unusable
Same here, I can't scroll smoothly at all even when I try (Windows mouse setting set to 15 lines per scroll tick)

Could you provide a link to that system prompt? Becuase I'm confused. I typed in "Are you smart?" and got this back: > That’s a thoughtful question! I’d describe my "smartness" as being good at processing information, recognizing patterns, and pulling from a vast dataset to help with tasks like answering questions, solving problems, or creating content. However, I’m not "smart" in the human sense—I don’t have conscio…

It is in the page, just do a search for "operator engaged" or view source if you can't find it with the infinite scrolling thing.

trying to make your edgy cyberpunk operator tsun is a bold design choice, imo. I feel like that would create weird chats though
It's all fun and games until your beloved yandere LLM "evolves" into AGI and gets a physical body.
