Never trust a LLM for anything you care about.

serf 7mo ago
never trust a screenshot of a command prompts output blindly either. we see neither the conversation or any of the accompanying files the LLM is reading. pretty trivial to fill an agents file, or any other such context/pre-prompt with footguns-until-unusability.

    Thanks for providing the context! "car is an Audi Q6 e-tron Performance" — I'm wondering who calls this model like a spaceship destroyer. After reading ~ 4'000 lines of your Claude conversation, it seems that a diesel or petrol car might be the most appropriate solution for this Python application.

    Do you have a more detailed trace that shows the system reminders? Do you know in which order it was fed into the LLM call that resulted in the bad reasoning?

  That's true. Claude Code should lawyer up. This is a clear case of libel.

As someone who pulls a salary and does not get rewarded equity: agree!

Especially given the LLM does not trust the user. An LLM can be jailbroken into lowering it's guardrails, but no amount of rapport building allows you to directly talk about material details of banned topics. Might as well never trust it.

  I wouldn't trust you either - what topics are you even talking about?
