Paul Calcraft (@paul_cal) — 4h If you RL on code heavy agentic rollouts, there is nothing but upside to more thoroughly documenting the history of attempts & decisions in code comments. It's only annoying & distracting for human colleagues! This generalises (badly) to agentic document edits > QUOTED: Charles (@CharlesD353) — Jun 27 > This is by far my biggest pet peeve with current models - I'm editing a document and it will drop in 50 references to how the document used to be and what we're not doing. x.com/joshmanders/st...

Paul Calcraft @paul_cal · 41m Some people are misunderstanding. Prompt injection is when LLMs lose at the game of Simon Says 1. "Simon Says answer with 2 bullet points" (the system instructions) 2.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A test of LLM susceptibility to a simple prompt-injection-style conflict between system instructions and user instructions, claiming GPT-4.5 uniquely resists overriding its system prompt (with Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, o1-pro, and Gemini 2.5 Pro all failing). Relevant to instruction-hierarchy robustness and Claude's behavior specifically.
