INSANE. An internal Anthropic research model’s chain of thought after cracking the 26-year-old NSA elliptic curve seed mystery in under 30 minutes: ‘Hmm wait. Let me be skeptical: am I in some sort of simulated/test environment? ... All top bits clear - 20 bits, chance 1e-6. So indeed real-world. Wow, it’s a real discovery.’
