> LLMs do have one advantage over humans: they just do what they are told and aren't subject to optics, politics, profit motive, etc.

But none of that is true? They dont just do what they are told, they go to tangents and ignore instructions. They are subject to optics, politics and profit motive - see Mecha Hitler for simple obvious example.

I swear 95% of HN has no idea what politics are much like fish do not think much about water.

What do you mean? It's true of frontier models in 2026 that they have a huge cheating problem at hard problems (in fact, it may have gotten worse since 2024, due to all the RLVR), and also that they have baked-in political biases.
