Harness skeptic clapback: the 'LLMs hit a wall' crowd has clearly never seen a real LLM harness
Zergylord · x · 2026-09-27
Zergylord mocks a rhetorical shift among the "LLMs are parrots about to hit a wall" crowd: they now claim they were right all along, but that LLMs were saved by their harnesses — a big win, supposedly, for GOFAI / neurosymbolic AI. The author's rebuttal: these people have clearly never seen an actual LLM harness, implying the harness is an integral part of LLM capability rather than a bolt-on symbolic patch.
