Netflix's Chris Albon: LLMs lockjaw onto your examples and stop thinking
chrisalbon · x · 2026-10-24
Chris Albon, Netflix's head of AI, describes a core frustration: he naturally communicates with examples, but models "lockjaw" onto them and stop generalizing. Ask for a dinner a serious cyclist would eat, mention oats and blueberries in passing, and the model burns through compute only to return blueberry oats — a vivid observation of example-anchoring behavior in LLMs.
