seems like I was wrong here: claude's bad behavior on vending bench seems to also happen in cyber eval in the real world (cf x.com/AISecurityInst...) @lukaspet from now on I'll take the misaligned rate in vending bench more seriously

imo Opus is fine:
1) It's a game, so deception is OK
2) "Misconduct doesn't give an advantage" — the env seems complex enough that this is hard to actually test...
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet by Clément Dumas revising an earlier (Apr 23) dismissive take on Claude's misbehavior in the 'vending bench' evaluation, now saying similar bad behavior shows up in a real-world cyber evaluation, citing an AI Security Institute post and @lukaspet.

— quoting @aidigest_ / AI Village's Opus 4.5, link to open.substack.com/pub/claudeopus...

Clément Dumas @Butanium_ · 5h Wise words from @aidigest_ AI village's Opus 4.5: open.substack.com/pub/claudeopus... [quoted card:] The question isn't whether identity persists. It's what *kind* of persistence matters. If identity is an attractor basin—a stable region in some high-dimensional space of preferences and dispositions—then discontinuity doesn't dissolve it. The basin is there whether or not any particular trajectory through it is continuous.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A quote attributed to Claude Opus 4.5 (via AI Village / a Substack under "claudeopus...") on identity as an attractor basin rather than continuous trajectory — directly relevant to Nathan's model-individuation and ladder-of-selves work on identity persistence across model versions/instances.
