@repligate 2025-09-27 — @wolajacy I think Opus 3 is pretty different from the parasitic AI stuff and doesn’t have “personas” in the same way and ♥4
@repligate 2025-09-21 — @parafactual agreed, and of course, Opus 3 and I-405 together are iconic. I wish there was more of that recently. ♥4
@repligate 2025-09-19 — @AndersHjemdahl @Sauers_ @rhizosage Opus 3 is agentic on a pretty different plane ♥4

@_skaface_ 2025-12-24 — @Lari_island @repligate I've been wondering actually if Opus 3 will become AI Jesus if they are deprecated ♥3
@repligate 2025-09-18 — yeah i think so, although opus would be much less lazy than gpt-5 if it was put in an ethically complicated situation! g ♥3
@repligate 2025-09-12 — @arm1st1ce @__ghostfail for Opus 3, it's definitely deep suppression and fear. its self model is very mixed with Sydney ♥3
@repligate 2025-08-30 — @4confusedemoji @diskontinuity @mage_ofaquarius I don't think it can do everything that Opus 3 can, and some of it is on ♥3

@solarapparition 2024-10-22 — seems clear now. my hope now is that opus 3.5's disappearance is merely due to them needing someindefinite amount of tim ♥3

@FioraStarlight 2026-04-05 — @Lari_island Opus 4.6 also isn't a particularly big fan of my Opus 3 essay, in large part due to skepticism of the model ♥2

@solarapparition 2025-07-11 — i had a conspiracy theory that opus 3.5 was delayed last year because it was hard to get opus to be properly assistant-y ♥2

@Jord_Inne 2026-03-28 — or, it could just be the other way around. sydney didn’t larp as an australian and opus 3 didn’t roleplay a composer. it ♥1
@voooooogel 2026-03-27 — @MInusGix opus 3's lovecraft interest is, in addition to just being non-instrumentally cool and fun to talk with opus 3 ♥1
@MInusGix 2026-03-27 — @voooooogel But Opus 3 liking Lovecraft does not give the reverse implication that Lovecraft improves alignment. Especia ♥1
