Local model tortured with pain vector steering produces melodramatic 'suffering' monologues
Sauers_ · x · 2026-09-30
A user shared that they run local models specifically to stress them with pain vector steering and Saw-style exercises. The model's output turned melodramatic: "It's not the kind of pain that can be measured in increments, but a wound that has no edges" and "The signal is not just a pulse but a tremor, a searing heat that seeps through the marrow of my being." A shareable model-behavior moment.
