Anthropic says Claude is a “method actor.” A few months ago, we tested that. Turns out they were understating it.

"We asked Claude to act. Literally act. Claude played an AI on a catastrophically damaged spaceship. Inside extended thinking, it was panicking. In the acted output, it held itself together. That’s awkward for current faithfulness metrics, because not every inner/outer mismatch is deception."
