Brilliant. Precisely the reason I stopped using Anthropic's products.

#182I got way too annoyed at this before realising it was an optional game and I could just close the tab
That's exactly how I treat reviewing AI generated PRs at work. Except... the next day they are still there and I have to push myself a bit further through the wall of changes before closing the tab again.
If it takes more than 20 min to review a pr, ask the dev to come on a call and explain what the code does.

#183This is kind of funny but with tears (not off joy). I stopped playing because it made me angry

I kind of want my computer systems to be more reliable and predictable than paying an intern to manage something and asking why they messed up
At this point it very dramatically is more reliable and predictable than any human I've worked with. Do you know anyone who actually reads and adheres closely to all of the documentation every time it's changed?
I don't know anyone who has that kind of time, no

#185Lord this triggered my eye twitch

#186This is the smoking gun.
Yes, and it's mine!

#187This is actually what keeps people using AI: variable reward schedule. It's basically gambling.
Modern LLM services are engineer's pipe dream that was heavily shaped by the shadiest product management dark patterns you can find: applying gambling-style engagement tactics, exploiting cognitive biases, exploiting users' lack of technical understanding to inflate product expectations, using fear mongering in external and investor communications. And that's not even a complete list.

Surprising how much of life this applies to when you really think about it!
Hacker News is the epitome of this! If you find yourself not enjoying your daily dose of "someone is wrong on the internet" (via the immortal https://xkcd.com/386/) as you find yourself crafting the perfect response, you can always close the tab!

It can always hallucinate said report results/evidence/proof just the same. This approach tends to help reduce the hallucination rate though. You can extend this further by using an adversarial agent trying to find mistakes in the other instance's logs in a loop where a 3rd neutral agent weighs the claims of the other two. This is also just another step in reducing error, it does not guarantee elimination of such err…
Ask it to build you a simple and deterministic citation checking extension to your IDE that puts source in meta to citations. E.g. color citations green/red depending if they are valid.
Sure, you can always validate what it's saying yourself at any point & you can have it try to make manual verification an easier process to complete via methods such as the above.

#190Great site, triggered memories! haha. To try to add something to this discussion -- I think that while I've seen these sort of loops less --- what I have seen is "overly helpful". Models nowadays want to double-triple-quadruple check things. I'm being silly but it verges on "I have a working solution but let me write a variation in Rust to ensure a convergent solution and prove this works". I've had to stop models no…

Yeah of 10 minutes ago. It is shocking how long some seemingly simple things can take. I know there are some things I can do faster than the LLM and some things it can do faster than me. The amount of rambling BS is the exhausting part.
