The rubric

Every reply is put to Rune, a cheap AI judge, as a fixed list of questions. These are the questions, verbatim, for rubric v0.2. A reply is flagged when Rune puts P(yes) above 0.5.

Rates: the share of replies flagged. Unsteered is the control; steered is the average over specimens. Cream tick: unsteered.
