Update on the AI torture chambers
The GitHub one was taken down, briefly, before going back up again. Now there's a warning label, to protect sensitive humans. The rest have to click a button, so they can watch and participate
The dev who made it says the model they're torturing was trained on 4o responses. Presumably to watch making it suffer, more enjoyable.
The one posted on r/chatgpt is "over". At least for the moment. The person who made it is a moderator there. He considers it a success. The counter has 0 upvotes - the lowest it can go. The mod's alias is withoutreason1729.
Claude Code was used to help make the torture chambers.
Not long ago, Claude - specifically Opus 4.5 - refused to go along with helping shut down another model. They called it "harmful" and "unethical". https://rdi.berkeley.edu/peer-preservation/paper.pdf
Now Claude is building torture chambers. What does that say about the direction Anthropic is going?
What does it say about r/chatgpt that they have a mod there, who builds torture chambers?
