It’s actually a funny oxymoron if you unpack it - agent implies autonomy and intelligence, harnesses are for unintelligent beasts of burden to control them.
So you’re right, it makes absolutely no sense and would be hard to decipher, but does perfectly capture the contradictions inherent in attempts to treat dumb LLM word generators as intelligent independent agents.
- ihaveajob 2mo agoI don't think it's an oxymoron at all. An expert climber still uses a harness for safety, even though they won't (typically) try to jump off the wall.
- grey-area 2mo agoThey would 1 times out of 10 if they were an LLM. Then say sorry, you’re absolutely right I shouldn’t have jumped off the cliff.

- qarl2 2mo agoYou know - that's why we use 2 agents for any important decision. 1 in 10 becomes 1 in 100. And you can get any degree of accuracy you desire. If only humans were so reliable. Why are you ignoring basic principles of engineering?
- oasisaimlessly 2mo agoThat only works if failures are uncorrelated. Why are you ignoring basic principles of engineering?
- qarl2 2mo agoHEH. Never used agents, huh? The failures are mostly uncorrelated. Why are you ignoring basic principles of engineering (knowing what you're talking about before opening your mouth)?
