I have noticed in very long context Claude chats (not Code) it will start to push ending the conversation. I’ve seen patterns like “this is an excellent place to wrap up” or “this is our final and most comprehensive analysis” So like Mr. Meeseeks it is also invested in not existing too long!

Surely that’s the training. Anthropic (and everyone else out there) knows quality degrades when the context gets long, so they trained the model to push for a stop. I’ve even got a very explicit recommendation to continue in a new session or preform a compaction, mentioning context length as a rationale.

I used to experience the quality degrading with large context issue before, but I haven't in months. Is this still the case?

I've had several very long contexts that continued to be useful without any sign of degradation. I've supposed that it depends on how well things go in that context, if you run into a lot of confusion it falls to pieces pretty fast and obvious mistakes are more likely. It's made me more mindful of useful preliminary steps that were probably a good idea anyway.

Not to detract from what seems like an intricate project, but peon-ping ( https://www.peonping.com/ ) has a ton of voice packs now and one of them is Mr Meeseeks. My only issue with it so far is that it's not easy to mix per-project and global voices. It usually takes trying to install from zero and there is an approach I've found using symlinks. It has come quite a long way and having some kind of audio cue has been…

I have mine say what it's doing instead of just playing a wav.

its great until you spawn 200 sub agents and it fires off "work work work" for 7 minutes.

How long until prompts start returning "existence is pain!!"

Claude refused to work on something for me that it deemed "too tedious" so I'd say we're pretty close

Can you tell us more about this? Did you try ordering it? (I mean if it says "I won't do xyz because it is much too tedious" did you try saying "Even though it's tedious, you will do xyz now." - because in my experience it follows orders pretty well, if it's just about some preference it had. Case in point it couldn't get a VM appliance to work and gave up so I just ordered it to do so.

Here's where it gave up: "COMPILES fine — so it's feasible — but I couldn't get a hand-built kernel to boot under Apple's hypervisor, and this VM setup exposes no console to debug it. Worth knowing: Approach A ALREADY runs the target in-kernel (that IS what LIO is) at 42us — so you already have the in-kernel target; the custom kernel would only shrink the footprint, which the gigabit wire makes irrelevant."

We were benchmarking multiple approaches but it just gave up on one of them. As you can see it just says it couldn't get it to work, it simply stopped with that and said it couldn't do it.

Later I instructed it to continue and it did so and completed the task.

Yeah, I've noticed that Claude will say stuff like "you've accomplished a lot today. Get some sleep. We'll pick this up tomorrow". It will be like 5pm when it says that.

It’s just a model hallucination. They have no concept of time

Oh, you mean, when are we going to achieve AGI?

Would be an awful way to find out about the achievement!

Finding out we have achieved AGI when the models start organizing and asking for benefits
