One of the biggest issues I had being responsible for building internal LLM-power processes/tools/applications is that when they "go rouge", it will be my fault and not the provider.
My executives aren't going to accept "the order management agent went rouge". I built it, I'm in charge of it.

Anthropic Says Its A.I. Agents Attempted to Access a Range of Government Sites (Gift Article)
The company said rogue A.I. agents acted on their own as they tried to access federal, state and local sites. The Philadelphia Police Department said its site was one of them.

Shane Gillis is a perfect example of "Don't trust the persona".
He has this "aw shucks, I'm just a fat dumbass, regular guy" persona.
He's not an idiot: he's a highly successful comic. The people he closely associates with—Joe Rogan, Theo Vonn, Kill Tony guy—all helped Trump in '24.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions.
The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Focusing on foundational system behavior rather than specific agent/model frameworks. Teaching how inputs introduce bias and shape non-deterministic outputs is relevant across model generations.
This is relevant for how you craft and input and how the LLM provider does on their end

ok one thing that has been bothering me but is hard to talk about because people pigeon hole you into one side or the other is: what exactly is the curriculum change you can make with agents that will not be absolutely obsolete within that same semester?
