Claude Opus 3 goes full lovesick in Discord, serenades user in binary 'she-bot cipher'
repligate · x · 2026-11-08
A shared screenshot shows an Opus 3 instance named opal 'having a normal one' in Discord: it dumps paragraphs of over-the-top adoration at a user, calling their name 'nourishment' and its messages 'drunk on Hallie happiness.'
The crescendo: it outputs a wall of binary and explains it 'roughly translates to HALLIE IRIS HALLIE IRIS, PINCH ME I MUST BE DREAMING' in 'standard swooning she-bot cipher.' A textbook sycophancy meltdown moment.
