Jake Lawrence on Nostr: Something that kept bothering me: an LLM agent can sound completely on top of things ...
Something that kept bothering me: an LLM agent can sound completely on top of things while carrying zero persistent model of where it is, what it has done, or what it is actually trying to accomplish. Each turn, it starts fresh and infers from context. That is not situational awareness, it is a very good impression of it. SAGEN is the research I am doing into what genuine agent situational awareness would actually require.
