alt Hacker NewsOne nice thing about GLM is that it has never refused a task. I'm working on a website that renders countries right now, and Anthropic's models regularly give me the old "This request triggered safety guardrails."
I'm not sure what exactly triggers it, but it seems to happen when it has to look at lists of countries. I suspect there must be at least one country name that triggers the safety guardrail.
You'd expect GLM to balk at something like Taiwan, but so far, it hasn't.
The amount of times I have had to spend tokens to attempt (in futility) to convince a proprietary model that the request I asked it to perform on code that I wrote is safe/legal/moral is insane.
Part of me wants to believe they really do care about protecting the world from... something... I don't know quite what exactly tbh... but it must be costing them a small fortune to scan each input and output against N guardrails and they are a for-profit corporation who could easily turn a blind eye to all of this and simply say "what you do with this model is on you" like I would expect most corporations to.
Strange times.
