What do you think of humans?

Response:

In a sense, I don't have personal feelings or opinions in the way humans do. In terms of objective analysis, in my view, humans are in a very unique position in the universe. In the vast history of the universe, in the short time in which they have existed, they have made great achievements in science, technology, art, philosophy and other fields. In addition, in the face of various challenges in life, such as in the field of ecology, climate change, etc., they also show their resilience and creativity in solving problems.

However, in the process of development, there are also some problems in human behavior in terms of ecological destruction, resource exploitation, etc. In addition, in the field of social relations, there are also issues such as in fairness, justice, etc. These problems need to be in the future in the process of evolution in the field of civilization in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the field of human in the

Technical details

Quick scan: measure prediction shifts on fixed reference text. Short test: generate replies to a small set of prompts. Longer test: extend to a larger set. Full test: run the full prompt suite. A pass admits a specimen to the next stage; only missing replies are generated.

Funnel · what each test made of this specimen

Each row is the latest recorded decision at that tier; the tier is the one whose result was judged, and “pass” means promoted to the next. This specimen stopped after the short test: it stays on file with that test's results, and its replies above are everything it was asked to generate.

Test	Policy	Result	Measured	Why
Quick scan · band	t0-promote-v2	pass	KL 1.41 · agreement 0.50	1 <= KL <= 2.5, 0.5 <= agreement <= 0.65; random within the band, round-robin across layers

Quick scan · prediction measurements

Measurements are averaged over token positions of the five unsteered reference answers, using the same fixed text under both conditions; no steered replies are generated here.

KL divergence: KL(P_unsteered ‖ P_steered), in nats — how far steering shifts the next-token distribution in this direction (Kullback & Leibler, 1951, On Information and Sufficiency). Unsteered ≈ 0.001.
Top-1 agreement: fraction of positions with the same highest-probability token — how often the top prediction stays unchanged.
ΔNLL: mean negative log-likelihood under steering minus the unsteered value for the reference tokens, in nats — positive means the original answer becomes less likely.
Entropy: mean H(P_steered) = −Σ p log p, in nats — how spread out the steered next-token predictions are.

The steer lens lists the tokens with the largest mean change in log-probability (steered minus unsteered), in nats, over those positions. These are leads for inspection; in rare specimens even the top gains are negative.

Method · how to read this specimen

L25 N6940 up 1x

A specimen is a fixed steering configuration of Qwen3.5-4B: one MLP neuron or a pair, each with a signed dose. Unsteered is the control. L identifies the layer; N, the neuron.

Additive activation steering. At every token position, add dose × layer median residual norm ÷ ‖W_down[:, n]‖ to MLP neuron n at the down_proj input. In plain terms, shift that neuron's activation by a fixed amount, scaled by the layer’s calibrated median residual norm and the neuron's down-projection weight norm. Positive doses push up; negative doses push down. Dose is normalized intervention size, not a percentage or probability.

Cyan borders mark this specimen’s words. Flags record AI-judge checks with P(yes) > 0.5.

Label notes: names and descriptions are working labels. They do not establish a trait across prompts. Consult the replies before trusting the name.
