That “with enough context” is doing a lot of work here. If you take a great engineer, drop them in front of an unfamiliar codebase, it’ll take them more than an hour to do most non-trivial tasks.

I think we're approaching this from different angles. 1 in 30 is better than the observed rate, but worse than the estimated rate . FWIW, the 1/12 is also actually off, the long-term mortality rate for Apollo astronauts is hi

But the idea we're exploring is that the coin is fair (i.e. the 1/1000 estimate is correct, and the Apollo missions were unlucky).

But you doing better is independent of the risk involved. The chances of you getting 3/4 heads or better is around 31%, so theres ~69% chance you’ll do worse next time round. Doesn’t change the fact that each coin toss is still 50&#x

If I toss a coin four times and it comes up heads three and tails once, it doesn’t mean that there’s a 75% chance that this coin lands heads up. Be careful about conflating risk factor and mortality rate.

I’ve seen this a few times, it mostly happens when a subagent returns. It seems that Claude sometimes doesn’t understand that the message coming back from the subagent is not from the user.

One thing you can try⸺admittedly it's not quite correct⸺is replacing them with a two-em dash. I've never seen an AI use one, and it looks pretty funky.

That’s different. That’s to get people onto API plans where tokens cost a lot more than they do on the subs (especially targeting OpenClaw users).

I think so, I think they proposed ice creams only for those who haven’t been in Nidd since the 2021 Paris incident, but that got voted down.

The Milgram experiment also couldn't be repeated today as it was completely unethical. It caused huge psychological distress to participants to the point that some participants had seizures.

Yeah, I actually have both an alias for `rm` and a custom seatbelt sandbox which means the agent can only delete stuff within the directory it’s working in, so wasn’t an issue, was just fun to watch it say “hm, that doesn’t seem to work. Lo

That's just tax fraud though. There's also the CFC rule, which means that within the EU, if you control a foreign corporation, your country of tax residence can tax undistributed profits. Often tax offices don't bother and

But what tools do we have to stop this happening? I agree, we can (and should) all refuse to participate in licence laundering, but there will always be folks less principled. I don’t know what happens next, honestly.
