Plan for a world where we are just as stupid tomorrow as we are today. In other words, the action item can’t be “be more careful next time”, because humans forget sometimes (just like LLMs).

That’s a great way of putting it, I’ll remember that one (except when I forget...)

I am pretty sure you will remember it during your next learning review… as soon as you get in that learning review, it is suddenly very easy to remember all the things you forgot to do.

Humans don't do this all the time. I think you are conflating things to further this false idea that there is no distance between human thinking and the behavior of LLMs. The kind of rationalization humans sometimes do generally happens over a period of time. Humans are also not "rationalizing" their actions all the time. Also, when humans do what you call "rationalizing," it is to serve some kind of interest, beyond responding to a prompt.

You're right, but having a backup older than computers.
