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!

What else is an LLM supposed to do with this prompt? If you don’t want something done, why are you calling it? It’d be like calling an intern and saying you don’t want anything. Then why’d you call? The harness should allow you to deny changes, but the LLM has clearly been tuned for taking action for a request.

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…

Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon. “Should I eliminate the target?” “no” “Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

"Thinking: the user recognizes that it's impossible to guarantee elimination. Therefore, I can fulfill all initial requirements and proceed with striking it."

Yeah this looks like OpenCode. I've never gotten good results with it. Wild that it has 120k stars on GitHub.

OpenClaw has 308k stars. That metric is meaningless now that anyone can deploy bots by the thousands with a single command.

Ask if there is something else it could do? Ask if it should make changes to the plan? Reiterate that it's here to help with anything else? Tf you mean "what else is it suppose to do", it's supposed to do the opposite of what it did.
