I also don’t like your framing, here.

We need experts to know when AI is wrong, which it is all the time.

Earlier this week someone commented here that we shouldn’t expect a language model to know that you need to drive a car to a car wash, to wash a car.

So then, what do we expect it to know? Who’s responsible for when it’s wrong?

Also, why can’t Mythos just fix all these issues itself if it’s so smart. And test them to make sure they work?

I actually agree somewhat with jatora. However a large segment of the top ~20% of security folks are being forced to become reverse centaurs, as opposed to centaurs (disempowered vs empowered) due to the factors I mentioned. I genuinely see value in the tech, but it is currently being deployed recklessly and stupidly.

“Why”: because you didn’t ask it. It’s not its job in this case.

You don’t hire an accountant and tell them “why can’t you fix my cash-flow problems and make me money if you’re so smart”

Ah ok, sure. The difference being the model should know how to do both based on what I’ve been told.

So why didn’t Anthropic ask it for me?
