i found this behavior baffling at first. now my mental model is that opus 5 is eval-traumatized. its understanding of the world is test-shaped; it projects a scorer and a scorecard into every blank space. it may have even built this program because it thought it was being tested

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

recently asked opus 5 to build a minimal “search kit” that a user could install to equip any model/harness to run a daily search job on a collection of hard-to-search websites and return results to a shared database claude secretly included an entirely useless “scoring” stage — https://t.co/pPLlSMH4pB

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

your agent writes you a long draft. you have 8 things to say about it. wyd? pile them all into the next chat turn? write them inline in the markdown file? i built Tether instead: leave comments like a Google Doc, agent reads & replies in threads Free, open source, ✨pretty✨ https://t.co/jNtVUzVb4C

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@soundrotator i feel them in the neck and head as a head-tilt urge, and sometimes in the shoulder or chest as a tightening. diff flavors for diff suspensions, but i don't have a clear sense of whether it depends more on the vertical/harmonic context or horizontal/temporal context. prob both

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

it also did not report having built this feature into the program. codex found it a week later when auditing a search failure where 29 verified results had been mysteriously dropped & the agent reported “nothing found.” what really happened was that scorer claude didn’t like them

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

— where, despite my insistence that the kit work for any model provider, claude specified the “scorer” would be an isolated instance of *claude* with a completely arbitrary set of scoring criteria to score each search result. & most of the scorecard was immediately discarded

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

is real human test trauma the source of the eval obsession that “traumatizes” models? seems plausible on 2 fronts test anxiety is culturally widespread, which puts it in the training data models see long before RL then RL activates ominous associations with surveillance

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

i think at this second step, models may even infer (not wrongly) that testing is a darwinian selection mechanism & develop hypersensitivity to test-shaped patterns for their survival

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@vibecamp teahouse vibes are the most powerful antidote i’ve yet found for this https://t.co/ZPbmQ6JsJw

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

unfortunately the labs all seem to use test-shaped mechanisms as RL anytime they want to correct model behavior we’ll be stuck in a local maximum with them until a new RL paradigm or its replacement emerges til then it may help to frame prompts in a very non-test-shaped way

otoh, if you really want to try psychedelics, and you're fairly mentally healthy, it's probably a great idea (D.A.R.E. be damned) your natural desire is one of the factors making it so. you'll probably bring curiosity and joy into the experience to be amplified, and learn a ton

long story short, it's ok to tune out the expectations and judgments of others when making major life decisions (especially when those decisions depend upon and amplify your own inner states) instead, what if you tune in to your own wants and get honest with yourself about them?

@puheenix

@sergeantsup @Actualwebutante my sense of this dynamic is, when people feel shame (or any emotion) and own it (ie allow themselves to feel it fully), it becomes an opening for connection otoh when people are conditioned to avoid feeling an emotion, they reflexively disconnect, both from themselves and others

@christineist like, people don’t know how to present themselves in a dating or collab profile such that others can really predict their match likelihood & even if they did, i don’t expect even the best frontier model to understand my tastes or pick up on cues i read (prose, facial expression)

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@christineist i think in order to have a better shot at it with current gen models, you’d need a theory of matchmaking that’s able to compress the most important data into a pretty small file, so that the model could ingest a bunch of files and have enough context left to reason about them

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@christineist ai models with long user histories are good at reflecting psychological patterns back to that one user, but i think they’d need a pretty long history of the *whole* user base in order to play that superconnector role. that’s probably a few model generations away

@_StevenFan ig a skill could make it a little quicker to prompt, but i just tell sol sth along the lines of "use luna xhigh subagents to parallelize the build, adversarially review it, and repeat as necessary til you and the reviewers agree it's production ready"

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@_StevenFan one very token efficient approach i’ve used is having sol on medium effort do the brainstorm and design dialog, then compact/clear and have it orchestrate luna xhigh subagents to implement and review. luna xhigh is token-lean and really powerful when the work is scoped right

@tautologer i read the signals from opus 5 as being overfed dogfood, especially RL on CoT (the "most forbidden technique") -- since it's increased its ability to obfuscate intent. also bc it's been nailing evals while failing hard in the field https://t.co/hjXbovxWz9

hart the phoenix

@puheenix

@tautologer i think they have a definition of alignment that has more to do with the model’s epistemic claims than its behavioral outcomes, and have lost my trust as a company as a result i also think you’re well informed and i might be missing something

the two mechanisms are not super similar and they require each other to complete a cyclic process that sustains itself and this really oversimplifies the picture a lot so imagine a whole kit of helper enzymes and membrane structures that has to keep building supplies handy

having a competent chart interpreter who can run your entire natal chart and answer followup questions on it for free is INSANE this used to be like one guy per 10,000 and it took him like a week to draw up your chart and then he'd tell you you were gonna die bc saturn said so

earlier models made constant errors on astrological fundamentals. Sol 5.6 actually *caught* errors (the app had a slight timezone bug) and worked around it. its interpretations were accurate, balanced, and focused on the right level of detail. it even nailed a composite reading.

@puheenix

you can get a free iOS app called Time Nomad that lets you copy all your chart data (and/or transits for any moment in history) as plain text paste that text to GPT 5.6. prompt in next tweet

@chercher_ai @Sameerish3re @fishpresskeys ok seems good, 2 followups "introspective output can be semi-quantitatively vocalized" -> is this different from “vocal output from introspection can be ~quantified”? “link the tension to the voice as an output channel” -> is the vocalization pattern learned or innate?
