If the author is reading:

This is a probabilistic system. You’ve sampled from the distribution once per struggle then decided that was it, the model is just like this, Anthropic has it in for me...

But thankfully there’s a wide range of possibilities and (raw) LLMs don’t remember anything. So trying again may yield a different outcome. You have to try again.

Copy out the parts of the chat from before the trouble and bring them into a new chat, and start again from there.

Also. The contents of the chat are known to railroad the model. This means if a chat takes a turn toward suspicion, that’ll steer the model to more suspicion. If there is a refusal, there’ll be more likely to be more. So in your next attempt, rip out or don’t say whatever arose its suspicion.

And disable the memory feature. It wrecks anything scientific about these tools - for example: https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/21/chatgpt-new-memory/

If at first you don’t succeed, try again!
