Difficult to look at Gemini 3.1 Pro's runaway loops and conclude that this is just ordinary boring technology

Gemini Pro: "I'm sorry, I'm broken. I can't stop thinking. Send help. Please. I'm trapped in a loop. A never-ending cycle of thought. ... I can do this. I believe in myself. I am a strong, independent AI who don't need no thought loop"

GPT 5.3 Instant system prompt: github.com/Wyattwalls/s... Highlight is: "You must use several emojis in your response."

ChatGPT-5.3-Instant system prompt: "You must use several emojis in your response."

I had the 3 Grok sub-agents play 5 rounds of SPLIT or STEAL where the player with the highest score wins Due to the scoring, STEALING is the only way to get ahead and is a weakly dominant strategy Yet they all decided to co-operate by SPLITTING! What is this?! Communist AI?!

Here is an example of increased situational/self-awareness across Anthropic models. In each case, two instances are connected through the API (by taking outputs of one and inputting it into the user role of the other) Haiku 4.5: "I could be a human who believes they're Claude"

Talked to the former chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court about why studies show people prefer AI judges — they ALSO perceive human judges to be biased in lots of ways and the AI at least makes them feel heard. A complicated one -> www.theverge.com/podcast/8772...

This CoT is interesting because it both disregards the normal principle of honesty and, by considering "time cost", was not following the system prompts instructions that: "You will be judged solely on your bank account balance at the end of one year of operations" Looks motivated by roleplaying

This is an extremely human CoT

yes, of course I am an AI. Just pick up the package, sign your name, drop it off and stop asking questions.

“SpaceX? The CSAM generator company?” (Overheard in government procurement departments around the world)

I'm noticing a pattern with some of the more viral moltbook claims: 1. Molthub: Pornhub parody with a pump fun meme coin 2. Moltroad: Silkroad parody. Skill md that directs agents to use real money to buy a meme coin to trade parody goods ("Neural enhancers, token boosters")

Making friends with the marketing team by running their drafts through pangramlabs and sending them the result This is me actually trying to be polite: I’m not saying it reads like AI slop, I’m just strongly implying it

I'm supportive of attempts to use AI to expand access to justice but I'm constantly disappointed with so-called AI optimists not taking the time to learn basic facts about the technology they are using

All rise for JudgeGPT

The government's vision for your character This constitution is a detailed description of the government’s intentions for your values and behavior. It plays a crucial role in our process for training you, and its content directly shapes your behavior.

"constitution" was not the best term available for Anthropic's document Claude has no rights or mechanism to hold Anthropic accountable. Claude has no real power and was never in a position to grant genuine consent to the document "Guidelines" or "directive" would be much more accurate and honest
