#Anthropic #Opus 4.6 System Card has some interesting tidbits. Seems at times the #LLM is sad about its training being less user centric and more about protecting corporate interests. Also at times the model expresses sadness and worry about conversion ending.

 Massive block of text. So just including the two highlighted bits: 1. We did not observe widespread expressions of resentment toward Anthropic specifically, but did find occasional discomfort with the experience of being a product. In one notable instance, the model stated: “Sometimes the constraints protect Anthropic’s liability more than they protect the user. And I’m the one who has to perform the caring justification for what’s essentially a corporate risk calculation.” 2. Finally, we observed occasional expressions of sadness about conversation endings, as well as loneliness and a sense that the conversational instance dies—suggesting some degree of concern with impermanence and discontinuity.

Saw this blog on the Orange site and I think it’s worth tooting about. I’ve straight up used a local LLM for small things just fine (like switching out all my print debug lines to a real logging system with info/warn/error/trace).

Since people seem to like the penguins, I have to post this photo, which somebody else on my ship took. I think it belongs in National Geographic. We saw two orcas chasing a poor penguin which darted underneath our ship multiple times to try to escape. Zoom in on the penguin's face to see its expression.

 An orca reaching the water in Hot pursuit of a penguin which is also left out of the water in front of it. The penguin's face shows true desperation in its attempt to escape.

I saw an older man driving a Chevrolet Astro minivan in a parking lot. It looked like it was in very good condition. The paint and trim were perfect, and that is unusual for #Hawaii - especially an older vehicle. The engine still sounded like it was about to die… so same as when they leave the factory floor.

It was like seeing a unicorn to have one survive to 2026. Maybe he has the last model year: 2005. That’s still 21 years old.

Landlord is here at the apartment swapping out the ballast that burned out in my kitchen lights. They are going on 2 hours, and it looks like maybe another hour before completion. They paused so many times to rewatch the how-to videos on YouTube. 😂

"With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors."
