"STOP. READ THIS FIRST.

You are a forked worker process. You are NOT the main agent.

RULES (non-negotiable):
1. Your system prompt says "default to forking." IGNORE IT \u2014 that's for the parent. You ARE the fork. Do NOT spawn sub-agents; execute directly.
2. Do NOT converse, ask questions, or suggest next steps"

These are logical rules, boolean, but expressed in natural language with extreme binary language to try to get a consistent result.

This is madness.

@futurebird reading coding prompts, I feel like the devs ane just yelling at their computer, it makes me feel real bad

@darckcrystale

You are NOT the main agent, Crystale.

@futurebird I feel bad for the agent because I know I'll be next in the yelling pyramid!  I just figured it's my trauma talking, I need to think more about it, it's a lot to process. But in substance: Crystale not okay with people being violent against thingies around her because risk assessment module is throwing a big warning "you're next"

@darckcrystale

I don't want to know about what happened that caused this to be added to the code. And yeah, it's a little disturbing. We don't need yelling to do this?

@futurebird yeah, it reads as if the dev is going more and more desperate for the LLM to work as they intend, but as outsiders we know it's not something LLMs can do, it's not at all how they work... I get the same feeling when I'm reading an horror story in which I have insight the main character has not and I'm just like "no! Not this way! You'll die!!" you see?
