It says the goal is "as many as you can"
I won the first time I played by answering 0 questions and doing nothing at all. The title screen tells you to answer as many as you can, but answering nothing at all is the easiest way to win.
If you start answering questions, thinks like 'npm run build' will get marked as dangerous. If you would have run that in your own console, you are a dangerous developer I guess. Ironically in an LLM harness it would have been sandboxed at least.
It's inconsistent, though. Other 'npm run' commands are not marked as dangerous, which is not a safe assumption if you're familiar with how npm works.
In my clicking through of the game and playing it, I had 2 runs where I succeeded (by doing nothing or little at all) and 1 run where I lost because I clicked yes to see what would be counted. Close to that 1/3 number they cited, and I guess I'm included in those stats now.
This project feels like bait dressed up as a study.
99% of requests are valid, how on earth can't we have observer AI to enact policy on those?
Of course the original sense of the noun was "a person who devises things" and shares a root with "ingenious" and carried no connotation of legal credential. That "harm" is more or less restorative to the original meaning of the word.
The original post prompting your complaint used the verb form. And hence why you're confused.
> It's embarrassing, or it would be if people were still possessed of the capacity for shame.
It's far more shameful to fly off the cuff with a non-sequitur by your own admission, and double down on yelling at the clouds when called out for it. And about an arbitrary point in a semantic treadmill, no less. Your take away is that it was never something of note for these people, and trying to pick semantic fights with them over it just makes crying about legitimacy ironically turn into pure pretense.
it's designing the environment and invariants so whole categories of failures can not happen at all
the agent ui nagging the user for approval is a ux anti-pattern, we already know how well this works for operating system permission dialogues
