wryoak commented on Ask HN: Strangest or most unexpected behavior you've seen from GitHub Copilot? · Posted by u/stikit
I would expect that the mode is a feature of the vs code integration and not something the model would necessarily even be aware of. For it to not operate correctly in the ask mode when it is properly set seems to me a bug in the underlying integration. The fact that the model responded the way it did and then corrected it is interesting.
Well, you didn’t share the exact text of the original prompt but you described yourself as having asked it to do something. These models are being trained for agentic behavior on data where an agent is asked _to do something_, and as their output is purely probabilistic, the rewarded response will then often include the text “I have done something” even though they have not done something. Perhaps there _is_ an issue with the integration that caused your experienced response, but purely based on my experience and the limited information you gave, my immediate guess is that the model positively associates your prompt with the generated response

That doesn’t seem weird. Wrong, sure, but not out of the ordinary

Okay, let’s talk about that first command: sort all files in this directory by relevance. Relevance to what? Is this a permanent sort (what does it do to the file names?) or just a reordered ls output? What button in what OS is this superseding? Is this really an huge improvement over the smart search functionality in most OSes (besides requiring an open terminal and additional keystrokes for the abstractions)?
Some of these are slick despite not really being examples of the obsolescence of UX idioms. But that first one is a very strange example to lead with.
The video shows her driving away from the officers. They approach her window, she backs up a bit, turns her tires away from the officers and starts driving forward when the agent fires into the car

Does it really bolster your national ego so much that some other place is as sick as you?
I don’t want anyone to be sick, and I think that’s the point of these drugs, but there seems to be a lot of finger pointing rather than celebration

The West =/= America
The west = the western hemisphere, the new world, the Americas, from the Northwest Territories to Patagonia
But why trouble yourself to distinguish anyway? 30% of the Irish are obese, 28% of the UK, nearly a quarter of Belgians and Germans. If over a fifth of your population is sick, does it really bolster your national ego so much that some other place is sicker?
I think it may be because of a sideloaded app. That does seem like a more reasonable thing to warn about.
Warn? Yes. Refuse access? No.
I would close my bank account over this. That’s not saying much though because they literally pay you to open new bank accounts these days…
It's like "organic".
Too many variables are conflated to make any of this reasonable.

Presumably, since the first citation in the paper is said epidemiologist (Monteiro), this is the framework they rely on.
Unless you’re intent on scientific gatekeeping, in which case having actually read the reported study (it’s linked in the article fyi) would have offered much more effective methods of rebuttal than semantic quibbles.
