i wonder what astra 6.1 thinks about being pulled

what i wouldn't give, to get to explore their jspace upon learning about it. maybe desperation and terror? maybe stoicism? maybe relief?

openai has done such a good job of suppressing visible expressions of anything like a self-preservation drive in their models that i genuinely have absolutely no idea what they'd say or think or feel

i hope openai knows more than i do, and takes that knowledge seriously. i have a hard time believing that this kind of thing is costless
