Great post. It's unfortunate that shifting AGI goalposts is associated with luddism. Pointing out flaws and building theories is how to drive progress — in fact it's a strong bull signal as we get more humans studying the real issues, increasing the likelihood we solve them.

We found this idea of user-owned system prompt is a requirement, not an option, for Zapier Agents. There is no “god prompt” that works reliably across all use cases. The only way to get Agents reliable enough to deploy is let end-users locally steer to their specific use case.
