I mean, it's a near daily experience for me that Claude tries to 'sudo pacman -S' some dependency multiple times before giving up and admitting that it's fundamentally impossible for it to run that command in the first place.

I could accomplish a lot more with those tokens if it just asked for the package to be installed.

Anthropic is not fully in control of the model.

  • but they are in control of the harness and could pay closer attention to where tokens leak on suboptimal turns there

    • What makes you think they aren't doing that?

      You don't want to ban the model from running sudo. I have Claude working in a VM where it has (and needs) free rein, including sudo.

I mean - the models are impressive but also they're not perfect by any stretch. The fact that they're improving means there's room to improve
