Pretty sure the author was Claude

I'm more upset about it being factually wrong, e.g. both mentions of "git-ignored" are absurd (why would you mention it if it's not in the repo?) and wrong (they are in the repo).

I notice this, that AI likes to write about things that are not in there. Like i review AI generated output, notice unnecessary things, and asks AI to remove that. So AI removes that and adds that "this and that, that was used or described like this, was removed because bla bla bla" to the document.

I think its somehow needs to talk (write) about the things that are in the context and removal is there so AI predicts that it should be there.


Yeah, I call it bugfix storytelling. Once upon a time this class far far away had this red hooded method...

Especially egregious if both adding and removing the thing happens in one commit. Git should be telling the story, and if it can't then there _is_ no story!


I spend so much time cleaning up AI comments in the codebases I work on, it's maddening. I could have an instruction to not allow it to write comments at all, but some of them are useful.

Yes it's constant. And in any article it's full of "The X does Y. The Z does A. But the B stays silent."

AI writing is just bad, this things is really noticable - but even in READMEs they look superficially OK until you read them.

AI probably should not be writing docs, commit logs or comments.


That's frankly hilarious. What was the fallback for Opus 5.5? Was it Sonnet 5 or 5.5?

I suppose it also explains how FrontierCode scores seriously dip at Opus/Xhigh and Sonnet/Max?


Fallback was usually Opus 4.8

Note that it seems that it no longer falls back automatically. So the actual score of Opus 5.5 will be even lower (fail vs fallback than can succeed)

Hard to call it a "society" then if it's just sticks and stones.

Agreed. I came here to post "If so, then you have ceased to be a civilized society."

To be honest, in the Netherlands there are more and more teachers dropping out because of stress and burnout, largely due to increasing criticism and demands from parents. But I haven't yet heard of cases of actual violence.


I see in Switzerland teachers being constantly required to fill in for missing colleagues. They might be lured in with good pay, but in the end are unable to cope - so they leave. And then the administration keeps wondering "how much money they want???" instead of hiring more teachers...

You are assuming it won't solve alignment for itself.


Or that it won't just decide to take risks.


"Ok car, take me to my job at the data center"


"Stop by the Strategic Nuclear Forces Command on the way to drop off my wife to her work"


If poetry is art, then writing a structured poem that can tell you _another_ poem must be, too.


Again, it's an "obsession" in the same way people can't look away from a three-legged dog.

Because you elected actors for president before. Because you had school shootings before. Because everything in the sky was always UFO to you, and everything on the ground either bigfoot or communists. Because you spread "democracy" that is shaped like bombs. Because you fund your own terrorists and drug cartels. Because you strong-arm world economies for non-reasons. Because you have nukes and eternal paranoia.

But yes, it did get much worse recently. Congratulations on noticing?


Wait, why would it ruin it?


Because it says it more often than kids say "six seven".


My kids stopped saying “six seven” about a year ago. I still have no clue what that was about.


I think it might be like, a praise of inanity.


It’s a frequently used metaphor in LLM responses.


Often for trivial things that LLM is proud that it has noticed but bear no load whatsoever.


The nerve.
