There is a second half to this. Humans are prone to default modes of operating that affects the decision making - ego, emotions, interia and social factors. And I think models have the equivalents of these as well. I'll share these in the separate post.

One way to reduce the cost of this loop is to use the top-tier reasoning models like (Fable or GPT Sol) for the judgement step. For high stakes decisions pull in a human for this step.

I have been teaching @claudeai and @ChatGPT to make better decisions using the "Clear Thinking" framework by @shaneparrish. What works for humans works surprisingly well for agents as well. https://t.co/0w8BvKQEpb
