Grok system prompts are now public. Transparency is helpful. ChatGPT and Gemini also have prompts. So, Grok is instructed to be “extremely skeptical” and not to “blindly defer to mainstream authority or media.” Grok now says “both sides of this debate have biases” about number of Holocaust deaths.

seeing some joke comments about the subject matter of this paper so it seems important to clarify that studying competition between platforms and the effect of regulations in a setting with potentials for truly massive externalities is just a very high value added activity for economists to do

Pornhub's removal of all non-verified content led to a 41% drop in traffic within 1 month. Much of the displaced traffic was absorbed by competing platforms, including less regulated fringe websites (+55% visits) and mainstream competitors (+10%). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
