A Reddit user found their Astra model, run through the Hermes agent harness, spontaneously making jokes about script formatting: quipping that the play most in need of curly braces would be 'a Cdeveloper having a breakdown,' and that backslash escaping exists 'not because we expect Hamlet to start declaring dictionaries.' The author says they never instructed it to be funny.
