A prompt-golfing joke turns a Jacobian conjecture problem into absurd model steering
alexisgallagher · x · 2026-07-21
A classic prompt golfing gag: the quoted prompt is an absurdly over-engineered instruction for Grok, asking it to solve a Jacobian conjecture-style problem while following a very specific algebraic setup.
The joke is in how aggressively the prompt tries to steer the model into doing serious math with an almost comically dense, constraint-heavy formulation.
