You sound like the person who said that my town actually had too much competition in grocery stores and they should consolidate to reduce prices for consumers.

The reason they're having trouble is because they're in the simulator.

Also, if reachability bothers you like it does me, you can disable it.

Cooldowns don't apply when you're patching a CVE; like, dependabot vulnerability scanning in GitHub has a separate cooldown from auto-updates

I suppose I don't - but I question what they could have been doing.

Was the direction of the model not to enter data in forms? If it was, then this is incompatible with what we know about the general competency of these models. If it wasn't, then this type of thing ("we submitted fake data to a website") is a clear outcome of "interact with random websites."

I am a software engineer - the wording we use around Open AI, Anthropic, et al. removes all sense of responsibility when they run an unmonitored piece of software against the public internet.

The idea that running what appears to be an LLM assigned to random websites and told to interact with them possibly having negative side effects seems incredibly obvious.

This situation is negligence: the engineer who designed the system that interacts with random websites didn't account for the fact those interactions could be harmful? What kind of excuse is that.

I do agree this change could be for that reason, but the consensus is generally that Anthropic believes it is alive/has feelings in some manner.

From the Verge comments:

> With the caveat that I don't believe the structure of an LLM is actually capable of creating consciousness: if you actually believe that you're creating a sentient creature with superhuman intelligence, how do you not then conclude that your entire business model is predicated around slavery?
