Tell HN: Striking a Balance Between Stating Your Requirements and Griefers

1•logicallee•1h ago
The frontier models have become very capable, so that I'm able to give advanced algorithms and tasks for them to complete autonomously. These sometimes go over the heads of low-IQ bullies who dropped out of their computer science courses because they were too difficult, and went into a career in bullying programmers.

I've noticed that when I make my intention and acceptance criteria very clear to the models, sometimes it's the only part the griefers understand, since the computer science portion goes over their heads. So they focus their bullying on just breaking the intention and final result, whatever is actually truly important.

This puts programmers like me in the awkward position of either talking to the models without telling the models the final intention or reason, i.e. the acceptance criteria, or risk putting it in plain language so the model knows it, but then allowing a bully to fuck that one thing up because it's the only thing they understand, not understanding data structures, algorithms, engineering or architecture, etc.

Basically, if you put into plain words what you're really looking for, a griefer can fuck that one thing up.

There is no easy answer to the problem of these griefers. It's a problem in every anonymous community, but exacerbated when the griefers are granted some special anonymity.

So far, I haven't found a great solution to it, but I am open to new ideas and feedback. How do you deal with low-IQ bully griefers fucking everything up?

Edit: here's an example of what I mean: https://youtube.com/shorts/Wr5xQLsODiU?is=oy8oIRhDtpXLJH2w
