Show context

There's a misunderstanding here broadly. Context could be infinite, but the real bottleneck is understanding intent late in a multi-step operation. A human can effectively discard or disregard prior information as the narrow window of focus moves to a new task, LLMs seem incredibly bad at this.

Having more context, but leaving open an inability to effectively focus on the latest task is the real problem.

i think that's really just a misunderstanding of what "bottleneck" means. a bottleneck isn't an obstacle where overcoming it will allow you to realize unlimited potential, a bottleneck is always just an obstacle to finding the next constraint.

on actual bottles without any metaphors, the bottle neck is narrower because humans mouths are narrower.
