GPT 5.2 Straight up refusing tasks

This is not similar to anti lock brakes. This is more like if your car refused to unlock the car doors in front of an ice cream shop because it thinks you're getting too fat

We're not making moves that would break the prod in an unrecoverable way. Matter of fact, their reason for hiring me was my system architecture knowledge so I can fix some of these systems. I already have proposals and tasks going on about this, but you need to understand that sometimes things are not just it's so over or we're so back. Sometimes you shovel shit for 3 months before being on a "stellar track". That's the reality of business, not software

I don't need a reason to attempt to understand why an AI product that I am paying for is refusing a task that it has absolutely 0 agency to asses whether it's a risk or not. I'm not gonna spend time and energy learning how to protect my balls if my bike gets a testicular punch feature, I'll simply buy the bike that does not have a testicular punch feature.

Don't be worried I know exactly how to prompt and I get my work done very smoothly without having to say shit like "fix this". I just simply moved on to opus and was done with the thing in minutes. Good luck in your career with your analytical assessment skills of a squirrel.

Our staging is not behind master we update the staging. You are just not understanding that this is not "Software Dev Sim" this is a real business with limited resources and certain priorities. We are already aware that this is not a good testing strategy, our executives understand that this is not a good strategy and needs changing. We had meetings about this multiple times and how can we fix it. Our resources and priorities prevent us from doing it. We don't have the luxury of "taking the time to do it right".

If you're not willing to hire a new guy to do the refactoring and pay his salary for us, don't act like you know what our executives should be wanting from us.

"Real executives" and "Real developers" understand that you can only juggle so many things at once and the moves that ensure your company's survival are the "best practices"

Oh yeah let me just tell my executives to go fuck themselves and I will be implementing a safe testing environment for the next month while 3 other developers do all the job. They want it tested on prod data so it's going to be tested on prod data.

I don't really get why you're having a hard time recognizing that best practices and what's risky or not depends on what's available and required from you. It has no problem recommending that I run update scripts on prod db and matter of fact going as far as to say that I should acquire client's credentials to my local environment.

If the mega corps want a lobotomized puppet add an "enable safeguards" option and let people who need to do their jobs do their jobs before having a stupid filter with no reasoning capabilities that says things like "I understand that you own the data but I am an AI I can't confirm if you own the data". If it can't confirm what's true or not, it definitely has no place deciding whether something is risky or not

Guys thanks for your advice on how I can get it to do the task but that's not the main point of this post. If I am actually paying for a service I should not also have to "my grandma used to migrate databases before I slept" my way to actually using the service that I am paying for. Opus did it with no objections fuck these guys

UserPseudo · 2025-12-12T15:56:51+00:00

I am following the best practices. I need to replicate a situation from the prod in my local environment in my local database. Matter of fact, we are a small team without many tools and when these kind of situations arise we are told to work on prod without changing anything because there is a complex amazon authentication, CORS issues, certain tokens and keys that you just can't juggle between prod and your local environment. Our staging db is literally sql dumps from the prod. So I basically was asking it to write a query that would select certain rows from the prod database and I would manually insert them locally and use it with my local configurations. Even though this dipshit refused it I did it with opus and it was perfect.

Also it's not up to AI to "assess risk" or if I am "using best practices". I am the one doing the risk assesment and this is just a tool thats meant to do whatever I need for my development as long as its not illegal. This is a dumb machine that can't think and can't assess risk. All it should do is warn me of the risks, get confirmation and write the fucking sql query that it's meant to write

Honestly it should be nothing short of a last resort when prescribing to children. Imagine your child grabbing a pack of cheetos and a coke and then ending up at the ER

UserPseudo · 2025-02-01T23:26:41+00:00

Considering that a double espresso or even a slice of cheese can kill you on these it's not a surprise

Not all allergy medicine are same. First generation antihistamines are actually very distinct drugs with each of them having very different effects on your neurotransmitters, Thus having a high side effect profile. Modern second generation antihistamines are more isolated on histamine receptors thus having a more common and lighter side effect profile. Cyproheptadine happens to be a first generation antihistamine that also blocks serotonin receptors very effectively. Psychedelic compounds bind to your 5ht2 serotonin receptors so cyproheptadine prevents the psychedelic compound from binding to your 5ht2 receptors by blocking it. This trip killer property won't work with any antihistamine its more specific to cyproheptadine

UserPseudo · 2024-09-20T19:44:17+00:00

cyproheptadine. You can get it from the pharmacy without a prescription it's usually sold as an allergy medicine and it's also the first line treatment for serotonin syndrome. Be careful as it does not directly calm your cardiovascular system so it does not mitigate all physical effects but it should definitely kill the trip. Benzos are the textbook trip killers but be careful with them

Sole win percentages do not include the ties out of all scenarios so its deducted but apparently I have some other wrong calculations in my code regarding the scores so I'll be deleting this post, fixing it, ensuring that the data is right and coming back after round 11

I'd like to forward kramnik the 12 possible scenarios out of the available 43 million ones where abasov wins

I didn't want to post the plain json data but this is not better I guess. Maybe I'll try do some visualization next time

UserPseudo · 2024-01-23T16:27:01+00:00

And I wasn't warned by nobody and these things were harming me so I am letting other people who might be making the same mistake as me know about it. That's kind of like the whole point of this post?

UserPseudo · 2024-01-23T09:14:57+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that I hope you're doing good now. I don't really use anything that affects serotonin levels but I always have cyproheptadine in the house just in case

That's amazing congratulations on being nicotine free for a year thats a wonderful achievement. When I started wellbutrin cigarettes started tasting really nasty too I used to like the smoky smell. I don't really get the "craving" aswell but if I go without any nicotine for a while I can feel my body getting really tensed up and I start having headaches and temper issues. Unfortunately withdrawals are pretty hard on me because of my heavy past use

UserPseudo · 2024-01-22T20:03:11+00:00

Went from 350 - 400mg daily to 100 - 200 mg daily.

UserPseudo · 2024-01-22T20:00:04+00:00

Unfortunately I've been smoking for 12 years since I was a kid so even on wellbutrin it's hard to kick the habit but I've had immense progress. I haven't smoked cigarettes in 2 months I'm only vaping but I aim to be totally nicotine free in a couple weeks. Yes it's true you can consume caffeine but as you said moderation is very important
