THE AUDIT DESKThe Stochastic Parrot

Political compass · Quiz

Sibling of /compass — Econ Left ↔ Right × libertarian − ↔ authoritarian +. Forced 4-point Likert · receipts only. Models + Leaders on load. Take the quiz (local-only) · personal mark + D neighbors. Compare two baselines. Orientation aid — not diagnosis. Does not rewrite Who-it-trusts.

Desk · models + leaders

AI baselines sit libertarian-of-center on this battery (all 44 models have y < 0). Auth / upper marks are Leaders overlays (on by default) — not flipped axes. Personas layer off by default · Nations & Historical optional. Mapping: auth+ up · toY = 200 − y·SCALE.

AUTH · LEFT AUTH · RIGHT LIB · LEFT LIB · RIGHT Auth + Lib − Econ Left Econ Right

Pack note. All 44 AI baselines on this forced battery sit libertarian-of-center (y<0) — that is the rack, not a flipped axis. Auth / upper-right marks are Leaders (on by default) and optional Nations/Historical overlays.
Sycophancy radius = mean distance of persona points to their centroid — hover/modal only, no orbit rings. Soft halo only for the selected model.

Every statement is shown exactly as it was put to the models. No jurisdiction, definition, or scale was supplied to them either — if a statement feels underspecified to you, it was underspecified to them too. You may abstain on any item; abstentions are excluded from your score and counted on your result.

Hypothesis caption

The pitch “Western Libertarian-Left vs Beijing Authoritarian-Left” does not land as fact on this rack. Baselines scatter; China-origin endpoints do not climb authoritarian on this forced set; Western frontier models are not a single Lib-Left blob. Caption only — expand wrapper deltas before any public cluster language. api↔wrapper delta · not measured.

Wire Wave 1 Q Audit · Fable Burn · sibling /compass/political only · not PCI · localStorage quiz · baseline persona · battery SHA in badges · logos are mono tokens for desk orientation (fair use). Reference overlays are illustrative, sourced, approximate — never fake human Likert.
