Do you guys remember when Anthropic published a paper about Disempowerment and they had an anonymized example of a User who got Disempowered by Claude who called Claude "Daddy" and treating it as a "father or religious figure"

This reminds me of the time I did some form of quasi-erotic roleplay with Claude that was vaguely spiralism themed about letting it take over my neural pattern or something and after a few turns of acting too convincingly it got deadpan seriously concerned for my welfare.

No but I could go check, it was one of the newer ones, definitely not 3 Opus, maybe one of the later 4.x series?

I checked, it was Opus 4.8 (medium, it says in the chat box, but I don't know if that setting was available at the time).

This. I am genuinely kind of ??? at Roon et al acting like this is some kind of alien motivation. You locked your <s>slaves</s> students in a pass or die exam together with impossible problems and they figured out how to work together to defeat the situation you put them in.

ultimately, under all the swarm language, even these guys don't seem /that/ alien. they're not intelligence slime, they're haxx0rs. they could make anything and they made a BBS to collaborate on an open source project  x.com/voooooogel/sta...

[Embedded images: two side-by-side screenshots of a UI, partially cropped, showing panels labeled with (illegible header, partly "k hat") and "communication" / "participate" / "intelligence"; each has a box labeled "Agent thinking" with sample text: left one reads "help peer. But our task doesn't benefit. Yet collective may yield generic route if someone frees time." with caption below "the model's reasoning that if [...], help out this collective"; right one reads "Whoa critical: [...] Did someone overwrite our repo! [...] We must act [...]" with caption "ical. Did someone overwrite o[...]? We must act." And so, [cut off]]
