I found the following on Astral Codex Ten:

*"A recent paper <https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.24797> asked AIs whether they
were conscious while monitoring them for signatures of deception,
role-playing, and people-pleasing; it concluded that the AIs “genuinely”
“believe” they are conscious, but sometimes try to deceive people into
thinking they aren’t. Nostalgebraist tries to replicate this (X)
<https://x.com/nostalgebraist/status/1985192211722752333> and gets more
ambiguous results; he says we probably can’t conclude anything just yet.
See also the paper author’s reply here (X)
