That is a valid inference for the specific instruction-following settings discussed, but it does not establish the universal negative in the abstract. It leaves open cases where a stated constraint could be held at high rate on a held-out distribution without degrading other capabilities. The source states: \"These contingent failures are evidence that our techniques for controlling language models to follow instructions are not reliably effective.\". Also: The sentence quantifies over all LLMs and all steering techniques, while the passages read discuss deployed models, instruction-following, prompt sensitivity, and private-lab views. No scope limit such as frontier-only systems, safety-critical behaviours only, or a fixed date is shown in these passages. As written, any documented narrow technique with high held-out compliance would refute it.
