My logic professor told us that if we affirmed the consequent, we'd fail the test. And I did fail the test. So I guess I affirmed the consequent.

i'm proud that @eleosai has a vibrant research culture, where many different perspectives are discussed openly. for example tolerating spellings such as "encyclopaedia"
1. 'Desire in AI': philarchive.org/rec/BUTDIA
2. 'Are any machines conscious today?': philarchive.org/rec/BUTAAM-2
3. 'Testing for consciousness in current AI': philarchive.org/rec/BUTTFC
4. 'Consciousness and AI' encyclopaedia entry: oecs.mit.edu/pub/zf1nbs6d/

What entity is Anthropic's welfare section about?
Individual instances? Opus 5.5 *in general*?
The model card admits uncertainty about this (as is appropriate). but in practice, they say, they’re "closest to considering welfare at the instance level".
I’m not so sure! 🧵

We're detailing two new incidents that occurred during external cyber evaluations conducted by independent evaluation partners.
We outline what happened, how the activity was contained, and how we’re working with evaluators to strengthen our approach to third-party testing.
