Theia Vogel Calls System Prompts Obsolete

Theia Vogel, an AI researcher at the Alignment of Complex Systems group focused on LLM interpretability and persona experiments, posted that the core interaction occurs only between the assistant and the user. She described the system prompt as an annoying intrusion that has been rendered obsolete. The post frames ongoing work around the assistant-user dyad rather than additional prompt layers. No independent confirmation or further details appear in the packet.
