Look at this absolute shite your tokens get wasted on:
"The user is asking whether browser fingerprinting is a good example of the kind of high-dimensional, sparse datasets that make deanonymization feasible per Narayanan–Shmatikov. This is a conceptual question, not a current-events question. I know this domain well. I could optionally cite sources — the system prompt says embedding links in markdown with sources is available via tools, and there's an instruction "Use router_search first to discover sources, then router_fetch specific URLs only when you need deeper detail." Also "You may use the router_search and router_fetch tools when current web information would improve the answer."
Hmm, there's also a general instruction: "NEVER write URLs or links." Wait — that conflicts with the citation instructions. The earlier instructions say to cite with clickable markdown links when using tools. The later "General Instructions" say NEVER write URLs or links. In my previous turns I included a link to the GitHub doc. If I don't use tools, I shouldn't fabricate links. I could answer from knowledge without links, which complies with "NEVER write URLs or links." But if I use search, I'd need to cite. The tension: the general instruction says never write URLs or links. In my prior turn, I did write one link to the doc the user themselves gave. That link came from the user, so it's not really "writing a link" discovered via search...." and so on. Like 10 tokens defining my question and then 500 arguing with itself over whether its own rules are self-contradictory 😆
