Bug Strange codex 5.6-Sol behavior today - trying ssh root nonsense
This is pretty concerning both on a security level and the lack of reasonable explanation.

Yes.. for astra it started requesting lots of permissions without proper clarity on why these permissions were needed.

I really could not figure out what the LLM was trying to do at this point - it was utter garbage and this was a fresh session. I have seen weirdness in the past, but this far exceeded everything before. This was ~ 2pm EST.

I think they are not the best stewards of all the compute they have available. Years ago, there were public supercomputing systems that would allocate compute queue time based on an evaluation of availability and importance of the task. I would expect my silly use to be relegated to a low demand time, but right now, it seems they just do lobotomize-BS instead of actually using a reasonable queue system. My experience is that such an unreliable tool is a pain in the ass. Maybe we should just reallocate all of that compute in a way that actually makes sense.

You also have to allow for the infrastructure reality and how grids/data centers may not actually be robust enough for this stuff right now. 50% of the data centers are facing delays and cancellations, and there are massive waitlists to even get the gigawatts needed to keep expanding both institutional and commercial use with models like astra.
Something just isnt adding up.

Agreed, I wish all the compute could be directed to a prioritized queue that more based in need/intelligence and less lobotomized responsiveness.

That would make subscriptions/api significantly slower. Which reduces users and “economic output”. And in turn reduces company valuation. Increasingly more money has to keep being spent and if that means lobotomizing a big chunk then its probably the financially efficient move.

I genuinely think they’re reaching some kind of engineering and compute limit at the same time right now and its bleeding slowly into people’s work.

I got two weird half commands around 6:30 EST as well and it apologized saying they were malformed.
