Huh if the training set is the entire internet then this type of behavior seems pretty on brand? Maybe I'm missing something. From the Ezra / Claude guy interview:
"When we first gave our A.I. systems the ability to use the internet, use the computer, look at things and start to do basic agentic tasks, sometimes when we’d ask it to solve a problem for us, it would also take a break and look at pictures of beautiful national parks or pictures of a Shibu Inu, the notoriously cute internet meme dog.
We didn’t program that in. It seemed like the system was just amusing itself by looking at nice pictures."
