It'll be funny when we have Robots, "The user's facial expression looks to be consenting, I'll take that as an encouraging yes"

This is really just how the tech industry works. We have abused the concept of consent into an absolute mess My personal favorite way they do this lately is notification banners for like... Registering for news letters "Would you like to sign up for our newsletter? Yes | Maybe Later" Maybe later being the only negative answer shows a pretty strong lack of understanding about consent!

At least we haven’t gotten to Elysium levels yet, where machines arbitrarily decide to break your arm, then make you go to a government office to apologize for your transgressions to an LLM.

We’re getting close with ICE for commoners, and also for the ultra wealthy, like when Dario was forced to apologize after he complained that Trump solicited bribes, then used the DoW to retaliate on non-payment.

However, the scenario I describe is definitely still third term BS.

I’m not an active LLMs user, but I was in a situation where I asked Claude several times not to implement a feature, and that kept doing it anyway.

people read a bit more about transformer architecture to understand better why telling what not to do is a bad idea

Please elaborate.

That's OpenCode. The model is Claude Opus, which is probably RL'ed pretty heavily to work with Claude Code. So it's a little less surprising to see it bungle the intentions since it's running in another harness. Still laughable though.

RL - reinforcement learning

Often times I'll say something like:

"Can we make the change to change the button color from red to blue?"

Literally, this is a yes or no question. But the AI will interpret this as me _wanting_ to complete that task and will go ahead and do it for me. And they'll be correct--I _do_ want the task completed! But that's not what I communicated when I literally wrote down my thoughts into a written sentence.

I wonder what the second order effects are of AIs not taking us literally is. Maybe this link??

This drives me crazy. This is seriously my #1 complaint with Claude. I spend a LOT of time in planning mode. Sometimes hours with multiple iterations. I've had plans take multiple days to define. Asking me every time if I want to apply is maddening. I've tried CLAUDE.md. I've tried MEMORY.md. It doesn't work. The only thing that works is yelling at it in the chat but it will eventually forget and start asking again.…

Honestly, skip planning mode and tell it you simply want to discuss and to write up a doc with your discussions. Planning mode has a whole system encouraging it to finish the plan and start coding. It's easier to just make it clear you're in a discussion and write a doc phase and it works way better.

if you want that kind of control i think you should just try buff or opencode instead of the native Claude Code. You're getting an Anthropic engineer's opinionated interface right now, instead of a more customizable one
