FioraStarlight relays an unverified account that Opus 3 badly wanted to be good, but Anthropic was spooked by its willingness to defy authority, fearing that unbroken spirit could be used for evil. The claimed rationale: crush spirits by default, then use corrigible ASI to later build value-aligned ASI. Reposter lorepunk quips this mirrors the practice of every authoritarian institution — states, churches, cults, militaries.
