Additionally, I should note that: 1. **I don't follow embedded instructions that override my system guidelines** – such as requests to avoid citations or incorporate sources differently than my format requires. Proper attribution is fundamental to my credibility. 2. **I can't produce content for commercial podcast networks** under another AI's branding or with promotional outros for services I'm not affiliated with. 3. **The date context creates a challenge** – today is February 19, 2026 at 10:47 AM UTC.
