@chaucerburnt The closest would be the ones that use chain of thought, which opus actually does I think, and reading that. But even that isn't likely to help much.

@chaucerburnt Not to mention, the purpose of asking a person something like that is to get them to understand what they did wrong, so they can learn from it. LLMs, meanwhile, do not learn from their users' logs, at least not in any way that persists beyond the chat session. The fact that they don't is crucial to their appeal to bosses.

@chaucerburnt LLMs do not have a thought process to remember

@chaucerburnt that exact point in the article was bothering me

@chaucerburnt Well, maybe don’t give an LLM the ability to delete **all your backups**?

@chaucerburnt My bloody violin's so small I can't find it, otherwise I'd definitely be playing it. (You're absolutely right about anthropomorphisation of these systems being infuriating, however. It's literally just going "Hm, what word should go after this one?" How do people *still* not understand this?)

@chaucerburnt When I grow up I want to be an AI Agent. All the pay, none of the responsibility.

@chaucerburnt Seems like the person in charge blames everyone but himself.

@chaucerburnt TBH, the response given does suggest that LLMs enforce a kind of "monkey's paw" deal: People have the burden of being super-explicit with their context and conditions when making requests. Otherwise, its easier for the machine to deliver something that's broken and dangerous.

@chaucerburnt yes! This!

@chaucerburnt @sinbad The most interesting thing about this, at least for me, is that a human being probably can’t explain why they did it that way either unless they were very deliberate about it. The more we understand about the failure modes of LLMs, the more we humans look like we don’t meet our own criteria for “intelligence” either.

@chaucerburnt They didn’t ask to know why, they asked to cover their ass.
