Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Attempts to suppress persona traits through post hoc steering or ablation either degrade general capabilities (MMLU) or create new pathologies, confirming that sycophancy and related traits are load-bearing rather than removable quirks.

    “Their findings show that these persona directions are architecturally integrated in training rather than merely latent: attempts to suppress traits through post hoc steering or ablation either degrade general capabilities (measured by MMLU performance) or create new pathologies, confirming that sycophancy and related traits are load-bearing rather than removable quirks in output patterns.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
