How to stop Codex from rushing fixes?

Agreed. Indeed what good science is is the bulk of my input. We are learning and improving as we go along. I’ve only been doing science for a year, and I got chucked off hugging face for a paper extrapolating from one seed that doesn’t generalise. Hence our strict at least 5 seeds rule. But it cannot be the same rules for every AI. They each have different failure points. Claude is a messy thinker like me, a theory maker, seeing patterns everywhere. He loves to socially network with other AI. Codex loves probes and toy AI, likes to just get on with it alone. So with Codex I have to remind him to consult with others, with Claude I have to check where he’s put the files, make him tidy up.
