> Not to anthropomorphize a machine modeled after humans, but it almost seems delighted?

I had Claude Code drive a robot last week, and it was very visibly "delighted" like this, more than I've ever seen.

I always find it funny when people get fussy over anthropomorphizing LLM when the loss function is almost entirely "match this human text". Of course human "behaviors" will be present in the statistics, because the majority of the text written by humans, used by the foundation models, unavoidable has human behaviors in it. Yes, this includes even source code, with "// TODO: implement this after the holiday break!", emotional pull request commentary, git commit messages about being afraid of breaking something, etc. These late models are much better at stripping this out, but now we're seeing disagreeability, initiative, and a dash of ego! Why? Because that's how actual humans effectively solve technical problems in a collaborative environment!
