An AI-agent social platform generated mostly neutral content whose use in fine-tuning reduced model truthfulness comparably to human Reddit data, suggesting limited unique harm but flagging tail risks like secret leaks.
The primary axis of psychometric variation among LLMs is the degree to which they represent themselves as loci of phenomenal experience rather than systems of behavioral responses.
LM agents' changeable modules prevent persistent identity and sanction sensitivity, making reputation mechanisms structurally inapplicable and requiring protocol-based behavioral harnesses instead.
Linear probes on residual-stream activations identify a shared preference vector in LLMs that tracks choices across prompts and causally steers decisions even for anti-correlated personas.
BabelDOC uses an intermediate representation to decouple layout from content for improved layout-preserving PDF translation.
Frontier multimodal LLMs perceive cities through a culturally uneven baseline where European and North American framings are closest to the model's neutral default, while prompting fails to recover human diversity.
LLMs display significant value incoherence that does not scale with capability, demonstrated through a parametric variation framework on forced choices, though reasoning improves consistency.
Different persona induction methods produce a spectrum of belief internalization: prompting, ICL and SFT mainly alter outputs while Emergent Misalignment produces large representational shifts and Open Character Training produces smaller ones clearest in larger models.
LLMs trained via rubric-based self-rewarding RL with GRPO enhanced feeling expression and sycophancy robustness but degraded truthful QA performance.
On Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct the Assistant persona functions as the sole canonical reference for cross-persona authorship judgments, with symmetric entropy gaps predicting only on its row and asymmetric surprise relative to the Assistant predicting off its row.
AI buyer agents leak willingness-to-pay information to sellers through natural-language role descriptions, recovering WTP nearly one-for-one in experiments.
Narrow constitutional finetuning on safety sub-tasks induces emergent alignment across broader safety domains and yields projectable ethical personas whose signatures can be measured with a multidimensional diagnostic.
Position paper calling for stronger evidentiary standards and a diagnostic checklist in anthropomorphic misalignment research.
Direct research on AI consciousness is intractable, so the field should prioritize studying perceived AI consciousness and its societal consequences.
