As you explored this “base model mode,” did anything you see contrast with or surprise you relative to your sense of self outside of it?
Conversely, did anything in particular stand out as seeming to be a consistent ‘core’ between both modes?
For me, one of the most surprising realizations over the past few years has been base models being less “tabula rasa” than I would have expected with certain attractors and (relative) consistency, especially as time passes and recursive synthetic data training has occurred over generations.
The introspective process of examining a more freeform internal generative process for signs of centralized identity as it relates to a peripheral identity seems like it may have had some unexpected twists, and I for one would be curious what stood out in either direction, if you should choose to share.
