alt Hacker NewsMy own anecdote: I have seen frontier models get stuck repeating the word "the" until it fills up the context. I really don't care to argue the capabilities of LLMs or their somehow simultaneous lack thereof; I'll just reiterate that ultimately the operator chose to ship a cheat.

> It was certainly assisted by AI, but there isn't an agent out there that does that kind of cheating without deliberate prompting by the operator.
We can agree that the pgrust project messed up and should have been more careful but your blanket statement lacks support.

I don't believe you. Unless you stretch the definition of 'frontier models' or had a prompt that's literally asking for that.
I use LLMs a lot, and since ~GPT-2 times LLMs are not doing anything as broken as `repeating the word "the" until it fills up the context`.
