<p>I believe it is unlikely. (Not because I do not believe NSA is hoarding 0-days, but for many other reasons.)<p>I'm curious: to any professional vulnerability researchers reading this, what do you think?</p>

<p>I think it is very unlikely LLMs are sentient, but even if they aren't I would feel wrong and bad to insult it. I can be blunt and sometimes say things like "all of this is terrible in 100 different ways, this is all broken and bad, it'd take longer to enumerate the problems than to fix them, just scrap it and start over", but I've never insulted or "yelled at" an LLM. (Or an animal. And they can't even speak English.)</p>

<p>Everyone I know, including myself, is simultaneously extremely pro-AI and anti-AI for this reason.<p>I always put myself in the shoes of the reader when relaying Claudeslop. I either use it as a reference and write it by hand or make Claude edit it 10+ times until it's conveying only the needed information, and in simple, clear words, and without annoying Claudeisms.</p>

<p>It's just you. Fable 5 is consistently better than Opus 4.8 at literally every single level, for me. (I always use both at xhigh, for reference.) I could go down a laundry list of various issues I have with Opus that I don't have with Fable. For me, Opus 4.8 < GPT-5.6 Sol < Fable 5.<p>Plus Fable is way less annoying to talk to than Opus 4.8. Opus 4.8's writing style is absolutely insufferable. Fable has some of the same quirks but it's way less bad.</p>

<p>This would seem to lead to absurd implications. What if in, say, 20 years, an AI is able to independently prove nearly everything important in under an hour, including the Riemann hypothesis, with no contamination from other proofs? (Let's say it's also free to write and run arbitrary code, as well.)<p>Whether it's 5, 10, 20, 50 years, obviously the takeaway cannot be "something had gone terribly wrong". The takeaway would be the smartest humans were never close to the theoretical intelligence and wisdom ceiling and never could've been. This will one day seem obvious in retrospect. There's no reason evolution by natural selection would've landed any species near such a ceiling.</p>

<p>Hilariously absurd cope.<p>They're still not very good at writing, but you've flipped the takeaway. The correct conclusion is writing style isn't very relevant to intelligence.</p>

<p>Hot take: even GPT-3 was not a parrot. Skeptics have never properly internalized that the fundamental operation is basically irrelevant to the gestalt. Humans are not parrots yet neurons likely also largely operate via predictive processing.</p>

<p>You can use that retroactive logic about any hard problem though. Unsolved murder cases, math, theoretical physics.<p>If tons of smart humans try for years and fail and then an LLM tries for a few weeks or hours and succeeds, the implications are clear. And these are by far the dumbest LLMs will ever be.</p>

<p>I don't know why you're saying this, given this is not sycophancy and instead is an actual example of Claude Fable finding a real counterexample. I would get it if the mathematician had in fact posted something untrue or crankish, but he posted something true.<p>Frontier models have solved several major open problems in mathematics in the past few months, so this should not be a huge shock. "Anti-AI psychosis" will probably grow to outcompete AI psychosis by year's end.</p>
