[covid, non-severe illness]
Day 10 of covid. Symptoms are mostly cleared up, feeling normal again. But, antigen tests are still *very* positive (both nasal and throat swabs). The CDC’s return-to-work guidance is BS (return allowed if symptoms mild/improving/fever-free + precautions).

They actually measure “model welfare”:
“we observe some concerning trends toward lower positive affect…”
“Claude Sonnet 4.5 expressed apparent distress in 0.48% of conversations but happiness in only 0.37%. Expressions of happiness were associated most commonly with complex problem solving and […]

@simon I agree on all your points, especially that it’s difficult to interpret these results without knowing which models were used. It also depends *when* they did the study, e.g.: if it was the second week of August, after the GPT-5 rollout, model routing issues caused ChatGPT to be dumber […]
