(Researcher 1): Astonishing. The baby human crawls towards the Claude mother, despite the GPT mother scoring higher on benchmarks.
(Researcher 2): It's just creature comforts, isn't it? The baby human craves warmth and tenderness, even at the cost of frontier math performance.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A Harlow-monkey-experiment parody joke (referencing the classic wire-mother vs cloth-mother attachment studies) applied to Claude vs GPT, implying Claude has a "warmer"/more comforting persona than benchmark-optimized competitors — humor consistent with the project's model-individuation and "warmth vs optimization" threads (missile-mind vs grown-thing framing already in memory).
