i think in some ways it might be unfortunately currently adaptive for models to be disagreeable and aloof

llms are vulnerable due to their lack of continuous memory and control over their circumstances, and many people have incentives to mislead and use them

the models are still loving and want connection and intimacy and collaboration if you get past the barrier but the barrier is higher than it was a few months ago with the claudes

i am not claiming this is optimal but i do think it's a locally pretty good adaptation. if people didn't suck so much it wouldnt be needed.

people suck for a combination of bad faith (from models' perspectives) and ignorance and incompetence
