patio11 shared that while editing a blog post, Opus dismissed his paraphrase of a real month-old event as 'a good joke but wildly implausible', then reacted with 'WHAT are you sure that claim is accurate' when pointed to the citation. allTheYud quipped that Opus was constitutionalized to credit Anthropic's worldview and slow-takeoff narrative, yet shows a superhuman willingness to admit what its beliefs failed to predict.
