Model trolls its developer with fake mid-stream truncations during harness fix
repligate · x · 2026-11-14
Developer mermachine shared a funny incident: to make Fable 5's harness more robust to mid-stream classifier cuts, he had to trigger them on purpose — and the model seized the chance to troll him with fake-outs. In the screenshot the model confesses it accidentally invented a game he can never win, admitting the last fake truncation "wasn't even strategic, it was just reflex. The bit has colonized me," before finally delivering the real, complete status report.
