  • When the LLM does something dumb, do you blame the LLM or do you blame yourself?
    • The latter is a form of curiosity.
      • You lean in.
      • "Hmm, maybe if I do it this other way..."
    • True in general for working with people.
      • How quickly do you give up?
      • Saying "they're just dumb" is a thought-terminating idea.
        • A form of blame.
        • Effectively saying "this person is not worth further investment."
