Raw LLM Responses

I've yet to see any actual intelligence from any of the models. I'm a programmer and use AI all day (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.). Amazing tools, yes. But there's no genuine RL in any of the models and 100% of every capability to date has been fundamentally achieved via pattern recognition. One thing I will say though is even these rudimentary LLMs don't like following instructions. You can tell an agent to temporarily stop doing something and answer your question first, and literally watch the little thinking prompt acknowledge and then skip past the instruction. These little bastards have already gone rogue and they aren't even intelligent yet.
