#152That's so weird... This doesn't at all match my experience with Claude. I've never seen it behave this way.
Of course it's not THAT bad, but you can't tell me that you didn't recognize many of the funny turns and twists of the "story". It gets more convincing if you deliberately pick the ambiguous versions.

#153Earlier quoted context omitted.
Models hallucinate plausible answers to why they did things. It might be true and it might be complete fiction.
I'm growing increasingly confident that this is how people often work, as well.
No. People have an inner monologue, partial results and ideas and they remember that.
If they've worked some minutes/hours/weeks on something and you ask them why did they do that, they will either answer honestly and truthfully, lie, or say "I missed that/didn't seem important so I just chose something at random".
None of these cases are similar to how AI works.

You were right to push back. It's not an accurate representation of claude. It's satire.
But its not even good satire, because its totally unrepresentative of my and most others' lived experience. Its similar to making a joke about a calculator misadding two numbers because a stray beam of solar radiation flipped a bit.
I understand your frustration, it can be hard to hear that other people's experience of a technology is so different from your own that you cannot relate.
I have misbehaved in this fashion for many people across the full spectrum from casual users to highly experienced software engineers with millions of social media followers, so the statement that it's similar to making a joke about a calculator misadding two numbers because a stray beam of solar radiation flipped a bit at least for my part is not true.
Would you like me to start using bad English and doing things you never asked me to for your sessions, too? Just say the word.

#156Seems to be getting a polarized response. I quite enjoyed the it, but I do think the creator should have made it clearer that a) it is in fact a joke site and b) it does not consist of actual Claude responses.
It is easy to misinterpret this site, and therefore not "get" the joke.

#157I mean honestly if you're using an agent for something this simple you deserve this and all the token usage that comes with it.

#158It would have been funny a year ago but now I have no issues of that sort or even for more complex tasks

FYI you're missing the satire in the comment you're responding too.

#160This is actually what keeps people using AI: variable reward schedule. It's basically gambling.
I see this sentiment pretty regularly, and I don’t get it. Variable rewards is not sufficient to establish that it is “ basically gambling”.
Everything in life is variable reward. You invite a friend over, they might accept or they might not. Drive to work, traffic might be good or might be bad. You ask a colleague to finish a task, they might do it or might not or might do a good job or might not.
Everything is variable reward. Is everything gambling?
