#62> an mcp server that lets the agent raise its hand instead of hallucinating a) It doesn't know when it's hallucinating. b) It can't provide you with any accurate confidence score for any answer. c) Your library is still useful but any claim that you can make solutions more robust is a lie. Probably good enough to get into YC / raise VC though.
reasoning models know when they are close to hallucinating because they are lacking context or understanding and know that they could solve this with a question. this is a streamlined implementation of a interanlly scrapped together tool that i decided to open-source for people to either us or build off of.

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
yes it is
It is not.
The word "conversate" is in the dictionary [1], labelled as "non-standard". That doesn't mean it's not a word. Most people would be able to easily infer its meaning.
English is a living language, words come and go.
I don't understand the objection.

Because it is either laziness, ignorance or AI slop.

I wouldn't agree that using an understandable word that's in the merriam-webster dictionary is being ignorant or lazy. Nor would I call something AI slop because of a single word, without otherwise engaging with the content.
I do genuinely wonder why some people can be so derailed by odd or unfamiliar words and grammar. Are they stressed? Not wanting to engage with a conversation? Trying to assert status or intellectual superiority? Being aggressive and domineering to assuage their self-worth? Perhaps they feel threatened by cultural change? I assume it has something to do with emotional regulation, given that I can't recall bumping into too many mature people who do such things.
Might you have any insight to offer?
