Abstract
In 2022, and despite a dramatic rise of executions in prisons, unexpected events supported the idea of possible changes (beyond the usual stereotypes) and, maybe, ultimately, of a hypothetical political transition (in opposition to the belief of a “defective” or “illiberal” democracy, in tune with the so-called “Asian values”). Besides efforts on the diplomatic scene to appear more mature and independent, the government proceeded through short and delicate strokes to be more flexible (e.g. vis-à-vis the use of Chinese dialects), more attentive to the underprivileged (via various vouchers and national conversations named “Forward Singapore”) and more open-minded (by deciding to decriminalise sexual relations between men). It also tried to build bridges between communities – or “races” according to the official documents. However, are these the signs of a first and prudent step before bigger moves – and a new Prime Minister, who should be Lawrence Wong? Or is it only a political façade?

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
