After googling for an hour, I gave up.
(did not release the pin-level code yet, wait a week)
Doing a few searches and reviewing their results is effort.
Google doesn't really say what went wrong if it's about Informix.
it's not like they'd make the subscription free if you listen to loyalties-free music only.
Your comment and the thread it started helps me a little with dealing with a close person's father's dementia.
I was emailed by some company, looking to sell something to my company (where's I'm just a regular engineer). Ignored it. Then then tried again. Ignored. Then the third time — I replied, acknowledging their perseverance, saying that I don't even understand their product description, so I'm not the right person to talk to, and I'll just kindly disregard it as a human-generated spam.
The reply email came within a minute. They asked who would therefore be a better person to talk to, and that it's actually AI-assisted so it's actually computer-generated spam after all!
This was the "oh shit" part 1. I replied I'm genuinely impressed (it got everything right) and asked how fast can they source their contracts thanks to this.
The reply, again, came almost instantly. It was proud of my amazement, quoted Arthur C. Clarke - "every technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic", with his picture, and said the bottleneck is not really in the speed of finding and contacting them, but to find the actual potential clients at all.
I rewarded the bot with some names from the executive decisive folks.

I do mind, however, if the data is not immediately discarded, once it does its real-time safety purpose.

To me, it's rearranging the information you had in a way that hasn't been applied or published before.
That's literally what LLMs are built for.
Because it's a waste of my money to check whether my Object Pascal compiler doesn't develop eating disorders, on every turn.
I am strongly opinionated against this. I use Claude in some low-level projects where these answers are saving me from making really silly things, as well as serving as learning material along the way.
This should not be Anthropic's hardcoded choice to make. It should be an option, building the system prompt modularily.
