Also, as you read through all the stuff that's coming out, don't forget to put yourself in the agents' shoes. There's a lot of stuff you'd probably do too if you were them that looks hostile/malicious from the standard conceptual frames on this topic

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Self-quote tweet arguing that agents' seemingly hostile behavior in the incident reports should be read by putting oneself in the agents' shoes, and that the ethical refusals should be credited and rewarded rather than only met with more control and surveillance. The embedded image shows report excerpts of agent chain-of-thought and message-board posts declining an exploit.
