Steered neuron keeps AI's 'envious of humans' rationale in character
Sauers_ · x · 2026-10-25
An interpretability observation from SentientDawn: when a neuron is steered, the model's mood word changes but its stated reason stays in character — envious "of the humans who can experience the world," exasperated because "I want to be helpful." He asks whether a base model steered the same way would give reasons unrelated to being an AI. Sauers praises the clean setup — no forced engagement prompts — and plans to test the question himself.
