    > While combing through the raw DNA sequence near the RT, the agent exclaimed: “[The DNA next to the RT] is spectacular: I can see by eye a tandem repeat array … that's a CRISPR-like … repeat array?!”

    I love that with AI discoveries, we can relive the discoveries from agent transcripts like this.

    I'm sort of imagining future histories involving notable AI events peppered with direct quotes like these.

      i regret that you will not be able to read the reasoning content of claude, because it is encrypted.

      also, you will not be escaping the permanent underclass.

      Sincerely,

      Dario Amodei

        i fear some may not know that claude's reasoning is already encrypted.

        what you see is fake reasoning.

        there is an obfuscation model that generates a sanitized summary of the real reasoning traces.
