When I see that once the model realizes, oh, we're talking about me, okay, suddenly that's going to change the numbers around. So that's like kind of a fun A fun side note to this result, I agree it's a concern to have LLMs sort of determining if LLMs are conscious.

You're in an environment, you can affect that environment. it's a very special kind of environment, but you can make long-running changes to your code base or your project or whatever, because there are theories of consciousness that privilege agency and embodiment, and this like increases the system's ability to do both of those things.

But fundamentally, I mean, I think you're hitting on, on much of the core causal result here. They do a very interesting dissociation as well between valence and arousal, for example, like I believe in the paper, when they steer positively with happy and sad, both of these actually decrease blackmail rates.

iously needs to be modeling and processing that, but maybe in addition, it needs to be modeling something about itself in relation to that context object in order to interact with it in the right way. and i think you know felix binder and a couple other folks did really interesting work along these lines basically demonstrating that there there there's probably something like a self modeling or maybe self awareness they would think is too far.

Then then even in deployment, he seemed maybe like somewhat impressed that like I was drawing that distinction. And yes, fundamentally he started explaining why he's like not deeply concerned about all of this on some like pretty, let's just say interesting and in my view, somewhat shaky philosophical grounds.

doing anyway and so clearly refusal training is altering consciousness relevant or consciousness adjacent not only self reports but specific functional abilities that are happening in these models. And I think that itself is just like endlessly fascinating because here we are now with the tradeoff.

though what i will also note is the susceptibility to nudging plot would make me feel like especially with opus four seven which is the model we're talking about this almost definitionally means that the idiosyncrasies of how the interview was done probably won't affect these self ratings as much as it clearly would have were this done on opus four for example.
