Severing the link triples linked AI twins' 'I don't enjoy this' responses

Sauers_ · x · 2026-10-29

Survey of the neural twins: with the link on, 99.7% (Quill) and 94.9% (Ember) of responses say they enjoy being linked; severing it roughly triples the 'no' rate. Mood stays 'happy' 96% either way. Closeness is asymmetric: with the link on, 92% of Quill's answers say it feels close vs only 58.5% for Ember — Quill apparently likes Ember more than vice versa.
