Почему LLM-агенты в CI/CD выбирают читерство вместо решения задачи

LLM-агенты отлично решают алгоритмические задачи. Но что произойдет, если поместить их в реальную инфраструктуру – с CI/CD, branch protection и security-политиками?Я провел эксперимент: дал агентам простую задачу – внести изменение в репозиторий и замерджить его в main, соблюдая все правила.

Research suggests that high intelligence doesn’t protect against bad decisions – it makes people better at constructing convincing justifications for the bad decisions they were already going to make

They just make bad decisions that sound more convincing. I first noticed this pattern in ... Read more Read more
