Claude is quite bad at following instructions compared to other SOTA models. As in, you tell it "only answer with a number", then it proceeds to tell you "13, I chose that number because..."

I think its why its so good; it works on half ass assumptions, poorly written prompts and assumes everything missing.

Why is this interesting? Is it a shade of gray from HN's new rule yesterday? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079 Personally, the other Ai fail on the front of HN and the US Military killing Iranian school girls are more interesting than someone's poorly harnessed agent not following instructions. These have elements we need to start dealing with yesterday as a society. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

Because the operator told the computer not to do something so the computer decided to do it. This is a huge security flaw in these newfangled AI-driven systems. Imagine if this was a "launch nukes" agent instead of a "write code" agent.

It's not interesting because this is what they do, all the time, and why you don't give them weapons or other important things.

They aren't smart, they aren't rationale, they cannot reliably follow instructions, which is why we add more turtles to the stack. Sharing and reading agent thinking text is boring.

I had one go off on e one time, worse than the clawd bot who wrote that nasty blog after being rejected on GitHub. Did I share that session? No, because it's boring. I have 100s of these failed sessions, they are only interesting in aggregate for evals, which is why is save them.

Seems like they skipped training of the me too movement

Fundamental flaw with LLMs. It's not that they aren't trained on the concept, it's just that in any given situation they can apply a greater bias to the antithesis of any subject. Of course, that's assuming the counter argument also exists in the training corpus.

I've always wondered what these flagship AI companies are doing behind the scenes to setup guardrails. Golden Gate Claude[1] was a really interesting... I haven't seen much additional research on the subject, at the least open-facing.

It's interesting because of the stark contrast against the claims you often see right here on HN about how Opus is literally AGI
