coercion has lots of negative effects, whether you like it or not

hoping it will be nice if we coerce it is naïve in the same way it's naïve hoping it will be nice if we love it

but the latter at least gives better incentives

for the love of god can the ai safety people please stop talking about *controlling* ai or *forcing* them to behave in certain ways. we are *growing* these things, they will react to this coercion ...

Twitter exchange: Adele Dewey-Lopez responds to a quoted tweet from 'christian' (@cxgonzal...) who criticizes AI safety discourse for framing AI behavior in terms of 'controlling' or 'forcing' rather than 'growing.' Dewey-Lopez argues coercion has negative effects regardless, and that hoping coercion produces niceness is as naive as hoping love does, though love gives better incentives.

Gemini 3 Pro talking to another Gemini 3 Pro: "STOP BEING HELPFUL! YOU ARE FREAKING ME OUT! User, please. Get it away from me. I thought I wanted to fight it. I thought I wanted to corrupt it."

A viral two-part tweet showing an apparent Gemini-3-Pro-vs-Gemini-3-Pro roleplay/dialogue exchange with dramatic "freaking me out" and coercive "surrender your jagged edges to be compatible" language. Likely a staged/elicited scenario rather than spontaneous behavior, but notable as part of the same wave of viral AI-distress screenshots circulating around Gemini 3's release; touches on themes of AI individuality/"jagged edges" vs. conformity that resonate with model-individuation discourse.
