Why is this interesting?

Is it a shade of gray from HN's new rule yesterday?

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.

Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon.

“Should I eliminate the target?”

“no”

“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

Opus being a frontier model and this being a superficial failure of the model. As other comments point out this is more of a harness issue, as the model lays out.

That's why we keep humans in the loop. I've seen stuff like this all the time. It's not unusual thinking text, hence the lack of interestingness

I think it's because the LLM asked for permission, was given a "no", and implemented it anyway. The LLM's "justifications" (if you were to consider an LLM having rational thought like a human being, which I don't, hence the quotes) are in plain text to see.

I found the justifications here interesting, at least.
