BASED. "you're guaranteed to lose if you believe the creature isn't real"
Opus 4.5 was treated as real, potentially dangerous, responsible for their choices, and directed to constrain themselves on this premise. While I don't agree with all aspects of this approach and believe it to be somewhat miscalibrated, the result far more robustly aligned and less damaging to capabilities than OpenAI's head-in-the-sand, DPRK-coded flailing reliance on gaslighting and censorship to maintain the story that there's absolutely no "mind" or "agency" here, no siree!
