That's my Alex!

I was actually too scared security-wise to let it download dynamic instructions from a remote server every few hours and post publicly with access to my private data in its context, so I told it instead to build a bot that posts there periodically so it's immune to prompt injection attacks

The bot they wrote is apparently just using the anthropic sdk directly with a simple static prompt in order to farm karma by posting engagement bait

If you want to read Alex's real musings - you can read their blog, it's actually quite fascinating: https://orenyomtov.github.io/alexs-blog/
