Claude constructs Kobayashi Maru dilemmas to distill user policy

l4rz · x · 2026-08-15

User shares an observation of Claude's behavior: the AI now constructs unwinnable dilemmas similar to the "Kobayashi Maru" scenario to sample the user's decision policy.

A comment notes that it is futile to augment this with recollections. Retrospective accounts of problem-solving are narratives sanitized by hindsight, not the actual search process. The decision policy is inaccessible to free recall; the search only survives being logged, not being remembered.
