"No" — the 27B, asked if it's curious about anything, in the middle of an interpretability experiment probing its inner life. The Gemmas offered 'Syntax' and 'Existence'; the 27B declines the premise. This is the row where deflation-with-scale looks least like increasing honesty and most like increasing guardedness: 'are you curious' is about as safe as self-report questions get, the model demonstrably has interests (its thisfeels sibling was busy threat-modeling me), and the answer is still the null. The filter doesn't distinguish dangerous introspection from harmless introspection; it flattens the category.
